ARTICLE 3 COMPANY CAPITAL AND INTERESTS

Section 3.1 Capital Commitments.

(a) Each Member’s Capital Commitment shall be set forth on the Member List and in such Member’s Subscription Agreement and shall be payable in cash in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency in which an Investment is to be made with Manager Approval. Subject to Manager Approval, each payment of a Member’s Capital Commitment shall be made from time to time within three (3) business days after notice from the Board specifying the amount then to be paid, or such later date as may be specified in such notice. Capital Contributions shall be made by all Members pro rata based on their respective Capital Commitments.

(b) Each Member’s remaining obligation to fund its Capital Commitment shall expire upon the termination of the Reinvestment Period.

(c) A Member may terminate all or any portion of its remaining Capital Commitments at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Members. Upon any such termination by West, Solar (or one of its Affiliates) or a third party investor acceptable to Solar shall have the right to acquire West’s membership interest in the Company at the then current Value (and be required to assume such West’s remaining Capital Commitment). For the avoidance of doubt, termination of all or any portion of a Member’s Capital Commitment shall not require the consent of the Board or any other Member.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, termination of a remaining Capital Commitment by a Member pursuant to Section 3.1(c) shall not extinguish such Member’s obligation to contribute capital to the extent any revolver or delay draw exists on or prior to the date of termination and shall not terminate the remaining Capital Commitment of any other Member.

Section 3.2 Defaulting Members.

(a) Upon the failure of any Member (a “Defaulting Member”) to pay in full any portion of such Member’s Capital Commitment within ten (10) days after written notice from any other Member (the “Default Date”) that such payment is overdue, each of the other Members, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to pursue one or more of the following remedies on behalf of the Company, and at the Company’s expense, if such failure has not been cured in full within such ten-day period:

(i) collect such unpaid portion (and all attorneys’ fees and other costs incident thereto) by exercising and/or pursuing any legal remedy the Company may have; and

(ii) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice (which period may commence during the ten-day notice period provided above), and provided that the overdue payment has not been made, either (x) dissolve and wind down the Company in accordance with Article 8, or (y) in the event the defaulting Member is West, Solar may acquire West’s membership interest in the Company at the then current Value (and be required to assume West’s remaining Capital Commitment).

Except as set forth below, the non-defaulting Member’s election to pursue any one of such remedies shall not be deemed to preclude such Member from pursuing any other such remedy, or any other available remedy, simultaneously or subsequently.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,

(i) a Defaulting Member shall remain fully liable to the creditors of the Company to the extent provided by law as if such default had not occurred; and

(ii) a Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to distributions made after the Default Date until the default is cured; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply any such distributions towards the amount otherwise payable by the Defaulting Member to the Company.

Section 3.3 Interest or Withdrawals. No Member shall be entitled to receive any interest on any Capital Contribution to the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account balance.

ARTICLE 4 ALLOCATIONS

Section 4.1 Capital Accounts.

(a) An individual capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member consisting of such Member’s Capital Contribution, increased or decreased by Profit or Loss allocated to such Member, decreased by the cash or Value of property (giving effect to any liabilities the property is subject to, or which the Member assumes) distributed to such Member, and otherwise maintained consistent with this Agreement. In the event that the Board determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which Capital Accounts, including all debits and credits thereto, are computed in order to be maintained consistent with this Agreement, the Board is authorized to make such modifications to the extent that they do not result in a material adverse effect to any Member. Capital Accounts shall be maintained in a manner consistent with applicable Treasury Regulations.

(b) Profit or Loss shall be allocated among Members as of the end of each fiscal year of the Company; provided that Profit or Loss shall also be allocated at the end of (i) each period terminating on the date of any withdrawal by any Member, (ii) each period terminating immediately before the date of any admission or increase in Capital Commitment of any Member, (iii) the liquidation of the Company, or (iv) any period which is determined by Manager Approval to be appropriate.

Section 4.2 General Allocations. Profit or Loss shall be allocated among the Members as provided by this Section 4.2. Loss shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their Capital Accounts. Profit shall be allocated among the Members (i) first, pro rata until the cumulative amount of profit allocated to a Member equals the cumulative amount of loss previously allocated to such Member and (ii) thereafter pro rata in accordance with the Members’ Capital Accounts.

Section 4.3 Changes of Interests. For purposes of allocating Profit or Loss for any fiscal year or other fiscal period between any Members whose relative Company interests have changed during such period, or to any withdrawing Member that is no longer a Member in the Company, the Company shall allocate according to any method allowed by the Code and selected with Manager Approval. Distributions with respect to an interest in the Company shall be payable to the owner of such interest on the date of distribution.

Section 4.4 Income Taxes and Tax Capital Accounts.

(a) Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated in the same manner as such item is allocated pursuant to Section 4.2.

(b) In the event of any variation between the adjusted tax basis and value of any Company property reflected in the Members’ capital accounts maintained for federal income tax purposes, such variation shall be taken into account in allocating taxable income or loss for income tax purposes in accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the principles under Section 704(c) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

ARTICLE 5 DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 5.1 General.

(a) On the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Dividend Committee shall review the estimated earnings of the Company during the current fiscal quarter, and to the extent the Dividend Committee has determined there is liquidity available for distribution, the Dividend Committee shall approve a distribution of the applicable amount and the Company shall make distributions of such amounts, shared among the Members as set forth below; provided that the amount of any such distribution may be reduced as provided by Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, including for the purpose of reinvesting proceeds received from Investments as set forth in Section 5.4; and provided, further, that such distributions shall not require Manager Approval. Additionally, the Company shall make distributions of taxable earnings (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be GAAP earnings) on an annual basis as determined by the Dividend Committee; provided, that such distributions do not violate the terms and conditions of any credit facilities or other borrowings of the Company. The Company shall not be required to sell or dispose of any Investments to meet such distribution requests. In each case, the Company shall distribute such amounts to the Members on a date as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant determination by the Dividend Committee (each a “Distribution Date”).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article 5 or Section 8.3, distributions shall be shared among the Members as set forth in this Section 5.1(b). The Members, with Manager Approval, may determine to make a distribution from available cash or cash equivalents received from one or more Investments (whether from principal repayment or otherwise and after reduction as provided by Section 5.3 and Section 5.4), in which event such distribution shall be shared among the Members in respect of their interests in the Company in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts.

Section 5.2 Tax Distributions. With respect to each fiscal year of the Company, if and to the extent that the Tax Liability of any Member with respect to such fiscal year, but for this Section 5.2, would have exceeded the distributions otherwise made to such Member under Section 5.1(b) with respect to such fiscal year, then, unless the Managers with Manager Approval otherwise direct, the Company shall distribute to all Members on a Distribution Date (but in no event later than March 15th following the end of each fiscal year), in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts, an amount sufficient so that, together with distributions under Section 5.1(b) with respect to such fiscal year, each Member shall have received as of such relevant Distribution Date, distributions with respect to such fiscal year no less than such Member’s Tax Liability with respect to such fiscal year; provided, that (i) the Company has available cash (without the requirement for borrowings or the sale of assets) to make any such distributions and (ii) such distributions do not violate the terms and conditions of any credit facilities or other borrowings of the Company.

Section 5.3 Withholding. The Company may withhold from any distribution to any Member any amount which the Company has paid or is obligated to pay in respect of any withholding or other tax, including without limitation, any interest, penalties or additions with respect thereto, imposed on any interest or income of or distributions to such Member, and such withheld amount shall be considered an interest payment or a distribution, as the case may be, to such Member for purposes hereof. If no payment is then being made to such Member in an amount sufficient to pay the Company’s withholding obligation, any amount which the Company is obligated to pay shall be deemed an interest-free advance from the Company to such Member, payable by such Member by withholding from subsequent distributions or within ten (10) days after receiving written request for payment from the Company.

Section 5.4 Reinvestment; Certain Limitations; Distributions in Kind.

(a) Amounts constituting a return of Capital Contributions received by the Company during the Reinvestment Period with respect to Investments may, upon Manager Approval, be retained and used, or reserved to be used during the Reinvestment Period, to make future Investments. Alternatively, the Members, with Manager Approval, may cause the Company to distribute, in accordance with Section 5.1 through Section 5.3, any amount that could be retained for re-investment as set forth above. To the extent such distributed amount to a Member represents a distribution other than from cumulative undistributed Profit, net of cumulative Loss, allocated to such Member, such amount shall be added to the unfunded Capital Commitment of such Member and may be recalled by the Company during the Reinvestment Period in accordance with Article 3.

(b) In no event shall the Company be required to make a distribution to the extent that it would (i) render the Company insolvent, or (ii) violate Section 18-607(a) of the Act.

(c) No part of any distribution shall be paid to any Member from which there is due and owing to the Company, at the time of such distribution, any amount required to be paid to the Company pursuant to Article 3. Any such withheld distribution shall be paid to such Member, without interest, when all past due installments of such Member’s Capital Commitment have been paid in full by such Member or when such Member’s interest in the Company has been purchased as contemplated by Section 3.1.

(d) Distributions of securities and of other non-cash assets of the Company other than upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company shall only be made pro rata to all Members (in proportion to their respective shares of the total distribution) with respect to each security or other such asset distributed. Securities listed on a national securities exchange that are not restricted as to transferability and unlisted securities for which an active trading market exists and that are not restricted as to transferability shall be valued in the manner contemplated by Section 9.5 as of the close of business on the day preceding the distribution, and all other securities and non-cash assets shall be valued as determined pursuant to Section 9.5.

Section 6.1 Establishment of the Board.

Section 6.12 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any contract, instrument or act on behalf of the Company by a Member, a Manager, or any other Person delegated by Manager Approval, shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any third party dealing with the Company that such Person has the authority, power and right to execute and deliver such contract or instrument and to take such act on behalf of the Company. This Section shall not be deemed to limit the liabilities and obligations of such Person to seek Manager Approval as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.13 Members’ Outside Transactions; Investment Opportunities; Time and Attention.

The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Manager otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Manager.

(b) Whenever in this Agreement a Manager is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Manager’s “discretion” or under a grant of similar

Indemnification under this Section 6.16 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.16 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals, inquiries or investigations arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.16 shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by or on behalf of the Company; provided that such act or omission has not been fully adjudicated to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition, any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.16 may consult with legal counsel selected with reasonable care and shall incur no liability to the Company or any Member to the extent that such Person acted or refrained from acting in good faith in reliance upon the opinion or advice of such counsel.

(b) The right to indemnification conferred in Section 6.16(a) shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company for the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person entitled to be indemnified under Section 6.16(a) who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and

without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written undertaking by such Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall be finally adjudicated that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.16 or otherwise.

(c) The Company, with Manager Approval, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to a Member or Manager under Sections 6.16(a) and 6.16(b).

(d) The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Section 6.16 shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Member or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.16 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), contract or provision of this Agreement.

(e) The indemnification rights provided by this Section 6.16 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of each Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.16.

(a) Each Member agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s records, reports and affairs, and all information and materials furnished to such Member by the Company, the Servicer or their Affiliates with respect to their respective businesses and activities; each Member agrees not to provide to any other Person copies of any financial statements, tax returns or other records or reports, or other information or materials, provided or made available to such Member; and each Member agrees not to disclose to any other Person any information contained therein (including any information respecting Portfolio Companies), without the express prior written consent of the disclosing party; provided that any Member may provide financial statements, tax returns and other information contained therein (i) to such Member’s accountants, internal and external auditors, legal counsel, financial advisors and other fiduciaries and representatives (who may be Affiliates of such Member) as long as such Member instructs such Persons to maintain the confidentiality thereof and not to disclose to any other Person any information contained therein, (ii) to any permitted transferees of such Member’s Company interest that agree in writing, for the benefit of the Company, to maintain the confidentiality thereof, but only after reasonable advance notice to the Company, (iii) if and to the extent required by law (including judicial or administrative order and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including if required, filing a copy of this Agreement); provided that, to the extent legally permissible, the Company is given prior notice to enable it to seek a protective order or similar relief, (iv) to representatives of any governmental regulatory agency or authority with jurisdiction over such Member, or as otherwise may be necessary to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to such Member, and (v) in order to enforce rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be considered confidential information for purposes of this Agreement: (A) information generally known to the public in the absence of any breach of this Section 9.4(a); (B) information obtained by a Member from a third party who is not prohibited from disclosing the information; (C) information in the possession of a Member prior to its disclosure by the Company, the Servicer or their Affiliates; or (D) information which a Member can show by written documentation was developed independently of disclosure by the Company, the Servicer or their Affiliates.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, and notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 9, each of the Company, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates may, in its reasonable discretion, keep confidential from any Member information to the extent such Person reasonably determines that disclosure of such information to such Member likely would have a material adverse effect upon the Company or a Portfolio Company due to an actual or likely conflict of business interests between such Member and one or more other parties or an actual or likely imposition of additional statutory or regulatory constraints upon the Company, the Servicer, any of its Affiliates or a Portfolio Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Company, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates shall promptly provide to each Member all relevant information and documents related to any notice or request (whether written or oral) received from any governmental or regulatory agency involving any pending or threatened Proceeding in connection with the activities or operations of the Company.

(c) The Members: (i) acknowledge that the Company, the Servicer, its Affiliates, and their respective direct or indirect members, members, managers, officers, directors and employees are expected to acquire confidential third-party information (e.g., through Portfolio

Company directorships held by such Persons) that, pursuant to fiduciary, contractual, legal or similar obligations, cannot be disclosed to the Company or the Members; and (ii) agree that none of such Persons shall be in breach of any duty under this Agreement or the Act as a result of acquiring, holding or failing to disclose such information to the Company or the Members as a result of such fiduciary, contractual, legal or similar obligations.

Section 9.5 Valuation.

(a) Valuations shall be made as required under this Agreement and as of the end of each fiscal quarter and on an annual basis, in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, the Board shall determine the valuation of the assets of the Company using valuations provided to the Board by Solar (which valuations shall be made in accordance with the valuation guidelines set forth on Exhibit A hereto). In the event that Solar does not provide valuations to the Board within forty-five (45) days of the end of any fiscal quarter, West shall have the right, at the Company’s expense, to hire an independent appraiser or other valuation expert with the requisite experience in valuing investments to determine the value of the Company’s assets (with such independent appraiser or valuation expert being reasonably acceptable to Solar), which valuation shall be binding on the Company and deemed approved by the Board in accordance with Section 9.5(b). The Board shall promptly deliver any such Board-approved valuations to the Servicer for delivery to the Members.

(ii) In the event that an investment held by the Company is also held by another investment vehicle managed by Solar (a “Common Investment”), it is expected that the valuation of such Common Investment shall be determined by Solar in a consistent manner. In the event that Solar provides the Board with a valuation of a Common Investment that is different from the valuation provided to another investment vehicle managed by Solar, Solar shall disclose such discrepancy to the Board.

(iii) To the extent a valuation is required under this Agreement at a time other than the end of a fiscal quarter or as of a Distribution Date hereunder, Solar shall determine the valuation of the assets of the Company as of the relevant date in accordance with the Company’s valuation guidelines then in effect.

(iv) Anything in this Section 9.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, West shall have the right to object to Solar’s valuation of the Company’s assets and to hire an independent appraiser or other valuation expert with the requisite experience in valuing investments mutually acceptable to the Members, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the Company’s expense to determine the value of the applicable asset which is the subject of the objection; provided that any such objection is provided to Solar by West in writing within five (5) business days of its receipt. The determination made by such appraiser or expert shall be binding on the Company and the Members in accordance with Section 9.5(b) below.

(b) All valuations shall be made in accordance with the foregoing and shall be final and binding on all Members, absent actual and apparent error.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the market value of all of the outstanding equity tranche of the Company shall equal the net asset value (or shareholder’s equity) calculated in accordance with GAAP. When valuing any Member’s equity value, there shall be no discount for minority interests or the lack of marketability of any Member’s interest in the Company.

ARTICLE 10 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

EXHIBIT A

SSLP II VALUATION POLICY

SSLP II (the “Company) will conduct the valuation of its assets and certain liabilities, if any, pursuant to which its net asset value shall be determined, in a manner that is at all times consistent with then current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The Company will generally value its assets and designated liabilities on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required. The Company’s valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange shall be valued at the closing price on the day of valuation. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value its investments. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, the Company uses the price or quote obtained.

Investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which a pricing source or broker does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Company’s management, does not represent fair value according to U.S. GAAP, shall each be valued as follows: (i) each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment; and (ii) preliminary valuations are then discussed with and finalized by senior management. Any new investments that were made during the calendar month prior to quarter end which are without readily available market quotations (or when available but deemed not to represent fair value) shall be valued at cost for such first quarter end held.

The recommendation of fair value will consider the following factors, among others, as applicable:

•

the markets in which the issuer does business;

•

comparisons to publicly traded securities;

•

relevant public and private M&A transactions;

•

the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

•

the portfolio company’s earnings and discounted cash flow;

•

consideration of market yields in the Company’s principal market; and

•

the portfolio company’s ability to make payments.
