Section 1.4 Purpose.

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF MEMBERS

Section 2.1 Members. The Members of the Company and their respective Common Units and Company Percentages, reflecting the purchases through the date of this Agreement, are set forth on Exhibit B hereto. The Manager shall amend Exhibit B from time-to-time to reflect changes in such information.

Section 2.2 Reorganization.

Section 2.3 GreenSky’s Common Unit Purchases. Following the Reorganization, and simultaneous with the closing of the IPO, GreenSky shall purchase • Common Units from the Company at a price per Unit of $•. In the event that the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised, GreenSky will purchase such number of Common Units from the Company that, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock that it redeems from the so-called “blocker corporation owners,” enables it to fulfill the overallotment option, at a price per Common Unit of $•. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purchase(s) will result in “revaluation of partnership property” and corresponding adjustments to Capital Account balances as described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Treasury Regulations.

Section 2.4 Number of Votes.

(a) Subject to the Regulatory Voting Restriction, each Member holding Common Units shall be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to a vote of the Members pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and as provided under the Act. Each Common Unit held by a Member shall carry one (1) vote.

(b) Any references in this Agreement to a majority or other proportion of units, including with respect to the percentage of units required to approve a matter, shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the voting power of such units, stock or shares, based on the votes

that the holders of such outstanding units (including Common Units subject to the Regulatory Voting Restriction) are entitled to cast as of the record date for voting on (or taking action by consent with respect to) such matter.

Section 2.5 Regulatory Voting Restriction. Notwithstanding the stated or statutory voting rights, in no event shall a Regulated Holder be entitled to cast a number of votes representing more than 4.99% of the voting power of all Units entitled to vote on any matter (including matters with respect to which such holders are entitled or required to provide their approval or consent) (such voting rights to be allocated pro rata among the Regulated Holder based on the number of Common Units held by each such holder); provided, however, that the Regulatory Voting Restriction shall not apply to matters described in Section 14.3 hereof or as otherwise provided expressly herein.

Section 2.6 Governance Rights of Members. Only such matters as require Member appraisal pursuant to the Act or as may otherwise be specified herein, shall require the vote of the Members, and in any such event it shall require the vote of Members representing a majority of the Common Units (subject to the Regulatory Voting Restriction) or such other group of members as may be specified herein.

Section 2.7 General. Subject to the foregoing, the Members hereby delegate management of the Company to the Manager on the terms and conditions of ARTICLE III hereof.

Section 2.8 Liability of Members. No Member shall be liable as such for the liabilities, debts or obligations of the Company. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities, debts or obligations of the Company.

Section 2.9 Meetings of Members and Notice/Action by Written Consent. Meetings of the Members shall be held at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Manager shall from time to time determine. Any actions required or permitted by this Agreement to be taken by the Members may be taken without a meeting if the action is approved, in a written consent of the Members entitled to vote on such action, by Members holding not less than the minimum number of Units that would be necessary to authorize such action in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that a copy of any written consent must be sent to all Members as so as practical after the taking of such action by written consent and filed with the records of the Company.

Section 2.10 Power to Bind the Company. No Member (acting solely in its capacity as such) shall have any authority to bind the Company to any third party with respect to any matter except pursuant to a resolution expressly authorizing such action, which resolution is duly adopted by the Manager.

ARTICLE III
MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1 Management; Responsibility.

(a) The Manager shall have all the rights and powers to manage and direct the affairs of the Company, subject to the provisions of the Act and any limitations in the Company’s Articles of Organization and this Agreement as to actions required to be authorized or approved by the Members. Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, the Manager shall have the following powers: (1) to determine the overarching strategy and direct the overall business of the Company; (2) to determine the compensation of the Manager and officers of the company (including officers employed by Affiliates of the Company); (3) to determine the budget; (4) to establish overall policies and mandate procedures for the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business, purposes or activities of the Company; (5) to oversee the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company and to make such rules and regulations therefor not inconsistent with law or with the Company’s Articles of Organization or with this Agreement, as the Manager shall deem to be in the best interests of the Company; (6) to appoint and remove at the Manager’s pleasure the officers, agents, employees and consultants of the Company (including officers employed by Affiliates of the Company), and prescribe their duties; (7) to borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purposes of the Company and to cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the Company’s name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations or other evidences of debt and securities therefor; (8) to acquire real and personal property, arrange financing and enter into contracts; (9) subject to Section 6.2, to determine the amount and timing of any distributions to the Members; and (10) to make all other arrangements and do all things which are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business, purposes or activities of the Company. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Manager shall be deemed to be a “manager” of the Company (as defined in Section 14-11-101(15) of the Act) for all purposes under the Act.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.1(b) and ARTICLE XII of this Agreement), none of the Members or any of their respective Affiliates, members, equity holders, partners, employees, agents, portfolio companies, representatives or other related persons (each, a “Related Person”), shall be liable to the Company or any other Member or person for any breach of any implied duty of loyalty or due care or any other fiduciary duty, other than as a result of any acts or omissions not committed in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Related Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to another Member or the Manager, (i) the Related Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any such other Member or the Manager (if applicable) to the extent such Related Person acted in good faith absent intentional misconduct and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the Related Person’s duties and liabilities are hereby restricted by and subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the provisions of this Section 3.1(b) shall not apply to any Member or Manager in his capacity as a Manager or an executive officer or employee of the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or in equity to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Member, or any of their respective Related Persons or Affiliates who is not an employee, consultant or service provider of the Company or its subsidiaries (an “Exempted

Person”). The Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to any Exempted Person. No Exempted Person who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Company shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company, and such Exempted Person shall not be liable to the Company or to the Members for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such opportunity, or directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company. No amendment or repeal of this Section 3.1(c) shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Exempted Person for or with respect to any opportunities of which any such Exempted Person becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.1(c) shall have independent effect with respect to, and shall not be construed as being in lieu of or otherwise limiting, any separate obligations of any Person under any existing agreement between such Person and the Company and/or its subsidiaries, including any agreement related to any noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or other restrictions on the activities or operations of such Person.

Section 3.2 Sole Manager. GreenSky shall be the sole Manager of the Company.

Section 3.3 No Resignation. GreenSky may not resign as the Manager of the Company.

Section 3.4 Removal. The Courts of the State of Delaware may remove the Manager for “Cause” at any time upon request of Members holding a majority of the Common Units. For purposes of this provision, “Cause” shall mean:

(a) the continuing failure or refusal of the Manager to perform those material duties that he is required to perform in furtherance of the business of the Company after his receipt of a detailed notice setting forth such failures and a reasonable time period to cure;

(b) the Manager engaging in an activity that is intentionally injurious to the Company;

(c) the Manager committing a fraud against the Company or using or appropriating for personal use or benefit funds or property of the Company when not authorized to do so; or

(d) the Manager committing an act of gross negligence or willful misconduct regarding the business of the Company.

Section 3.5 Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring for any reason in the position of Manager of the Company may be filled by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Common Units (subject to the Regulatory Voting Restriction). A Manager elected to replace GreenSky (or a successor to such Manager) shall hold office until his earlier resignation or removal.

Section 3.6 Delegation of Authority. The Manager may delegate to one or more employees of the Company, each of whom will serve at the pleasure of the Manager, the authority to carry out the Company’s day-to-day business activities (each of whom in such capacity may be referred to individually in this Agreement as an “officer” and collectively as “officers”). Any authority delegated by the Manager under this section is subject to the limitations contained in this

Agreement, nonwaivable provisions of applicable law and the specific authorization given by the Manager; provided, however, that any authorization may be amended, modified, or revoked by a vote of the Manager at any time. For convenience of reference, the Manager may designate officers of the Company including a Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer. Such officers shall have the duties assigned by the Manager.

Section 3.7 Written Action of Manager. The Manager shall not be required to hold meetings and may take actions in writing.

Section 3.8 Liability of Manager. The Manager shall not be liable as such for the liabilities, debts or obligations of the Company. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Manager for liabilities, debts or obligations of the Company.

Section 3.9 Conflict of Interest Transactions. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Member shall be prohibited from dealing, on commercially reasonable terms, with any person or entity deemed to be an Affiliate of any Member.

Section 3.10 Devotion of Time to Company. Affiliates of the Manager may engage in any other business or non-business activity, whether or not similar to the Business of the Company, and neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right to any earnings, profits or other interest or rights with respect to such other activities.

Section 3.11 Compensation to Manager. The Manager may receive reasonable compensation at its discretion. The Manager shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it on behalf of the Company in accordance with the Company’s customary reimbursement policies.

Section 3.12 Limitations on Authority of Manager. The Manager shall have no authority to:

(a) do any act in contravention of this Agreement;

(b) do any act on behalf of the Company that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Company;

(d) possess Company property, or assign the rights in specific Company property, other than for a Company purpose.

ARTICLE V
ALLOCATIONS

Net Profits and Net Losses and other items of Company income, gain, credit, loss and deduction shall be allocated each Company Year among the Members as follows:

Section 5.1 Net Profits and Net Losses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Profits and Net Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Company shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Company Percentages.

(b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 5.1, to the extent any Net Losses allocated to a Member under Section 5.1 would cause such Member (hereafter, a “Restricted Member”) to have a Capital Account deficit (or cause an increase in such Capital Account deficit) as of the end of the Company Year to which such Net Losses relate, such Net Losses shall not be allocated to such Restricted Member and instead shall be allocated to the other Members (the “Permitted Members”), in proportion to, and to the maximum extent that, the amounts in which such Net Losses may be allocated to the Permitted Members without causing any of the Permitted Members to have a Capital Account deficit.

Section 5.2 Regulatory Allocations. The provisions set forth in Exhibit C are intended to conform with the Code and Regulations and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Further, the Manager shall be permitted to adjust allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company to give economic effect to the provisions of Section 6.1, Section 10.4 and the other relevant provisions of this Agreement.

For Federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for Capital Account purposes under Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax and book basis will be allocated in accordance with the “traditional method” set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

Section 5.4 Tax Consequences. The Members acknowledge that they are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this ARTICLE V and Exhibit C and shall be bound by the provisions of this ARTICLE V and Exhibit C in reporting their portion of Company income and loss for Federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE VI
DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1 Distributions. Distributions to the Members of Distributable Cash may be made when, as and if declared by the Manager pursuant to Section 3.1, and such distributions to the Members shall be made pro rata in proportion to their respective Company Percentages.

Section 6.2 Tax Distributions.

(a) Subject to the Act, the other provisions of this Agreement, applicable law, and contractual limitations applicable to the Company, as subject to the availabilities of Distributable Cash, the Company shall make a ratable distribution among the Members, in accordance with their respective Company Percentages, of an aggregate amount in cash sufficient to allow each Member to pay the amount by which (i) the product of (A) a Member’s allocable share of net taxable income of the Company for the Company Year or other relevant period, and (B) the Tax Rate, exceeds (ii) the sum of the amounts distributed in cash to such Member pursuant to Section 6.1. If there are not sufficient funds on hand to distribute the full amount otherwise required to be distributed pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) such distribution shall be made to the extent of the available funds ratably among the Members in proportion to each Member’s respective Company Percentage and the Company shall make future distributions as soon as funds become available to pay the remaining portion of such distribution ratably among the Members in accordance with their respective Company Percentage.

(b) In computing taxable income or losses for the purposes of determining the amount of distributions pursuant to this Section 6.2, items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be determined without regard to any adjustments pursuant to Section 743, Section 734, or Section 704(c) of the Code. In the event that the amount of the distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.2 is less than the aggregate excess tax liability of the Members, any distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be made to all the Members in proportion to their respective shares of the excess tax liability. The amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be calculated and distributed at the following times: (i) quarterly, on an estimated basis, with respect to the portion of the Company Year through the end of such quarterly period, at least 10 days prior to the date on which U.S. federal corporate estimated tax payments are due and (ii) with respect to each Company Year, at the end of such Company Year.

Section 6.3 Amounts Withheld.

(a) Withholding for Taxes. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this ARTICLE VI for all purposes under this Agreement. The Manager is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to any Federal, state or local government any amounts required to be so withheld and paid over pursuant to the Code or any other applicable law or regulation, and such amounts shall be allocated to the Member with respect to which such amount was withheld. Each Member and former Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Manager and each other Person who is or who is deemed to be the responsible withholding agent or paying agent for United States federal, state or local or non-U.S. income tax purposes against all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to the Company’s, Manager’s or such other Person’s obligation to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise to pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Company, the Manager or any of their Affiliates with respect to such Member or former Member or as a result of such Member’s or former Member’s ownership of Units, Transfer of Units (including by Exchange) or participation in the Company.

(b) Withholding for an Adjustment Liability. In the event the Company becomes liable for an adjustment in respect of the distributive share of a Member (or a former Member) under Section 6225 of the Code as applicable under the Partnership Audit Provisions (such liability, as reasonably determined by the Partnership Representative, the “Adjustment Liability”), the Company is hereby authorized and directed by each Member to withhold from the distributions or other amounts payable to such Member in the amount of the Adjustment Liability and to remit such amount to the Internal Revenue Service or as may otherwise be required. The amount of the remitted Adjustment Liability shall be treated for all purposes of the Agreement as having been distributed or paid to the Member (or former Member) in question. If the Partnership Representative determines at any time that the Adjustment Liability with respect to a particular Member (or former Member) exceeds the amount of distributions or other amounts payable to such Member (or former Member) at such time (an “Adjustment Liability Shortfall”), the Member (or former Member) in question shall immediately make a cash contribution to the Company equal to the amount of such Adjustment Liability Shortfall, which the Company shall use to effectuate the remittance. The amount of the Adjustment Liability Shortfall so contributed shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution for purposes of the Agreement and the associated remittance to the taxing authority shall not be treated as a distribution for purposes of the Agreement. The obligations of each Member (or former Member) under this Section 6.3(b) shall remain binding for as long as is necessary to resolve the income tax matters relating the Company and for Members and former Members to satisfy their payment obligations. Additionally, the obligations of each Member (or former Member) under this Section 6.3(b) shall survive the transfer or redemption by such Member of its Units and the termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the Company and shall apply jointly and severally to such Member and former Member and direct or indirect transferees or successors to such Member or former Member’s interests.

ARTICLE VII
ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL UNITS

Section 7.1 Units. Interests in the Company shall be represented by Units, or such other securities of the Company, in each case as the Manager may establish in its discretion in accordance with the terms and subject to the restrictions hereof. Immediately after the “effective time” of the Reorganization, the Units will be comprised of a single class of Common Units. To the extent required pursuant to Section 7.2, the Manager may create one or more classes or series of Common Units or preferred Units solely to the extent they are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to a class of common stock of GreenSky or class or series of preferred stock of GreenSky; provided that as long as there are any Members of the Company (other than GreenSky), then no such new class or series of Units may deprive such Members of, or dilute or reduce, the pro rata share of all interests they would have received or to which they would have been entitled if such new class or series of Units had not been created except to the extent (and solely to the extent) the Company actually receives cash in an aggregate amount, or other property with a Market Price in an aggregate amount, equal to the pro rata share allocated to such new class or series of Units and the number thereof issued by the Company.

Section 7.2 Authorization and Issuance of Additional Units.

(a) The Company shall undertake all actions, including, without limitation, a reclassification, distribution, division or recapitalization, with respect to the Common Units, to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by GreenSky and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, disregarding, for purposes of maintaining the one-to-one ratio, (i) unvested shares of Class A Stock issued pursuant to Incentive Plans, (ii) treasury stock or (iii) preferred stock or other debt or equity securities (including without limitation warrants, options or rights) issued by GreenSky that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock (except to the extent the net proceeds from such other securities, including any exercise or purchase price payable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof, has been contributed by GreenSky to the equity capital of the Company). In the event GreenSky issues, transfers or delivers from treasury stock or repurchases Class A Common Stock in a transaction not contemplated in this Agreement, the Manager shall take all actions such that, after giving effect to all such issuances, transfers, deliveries or repurchases, the number of outstanding Common Units owned by GreenSky will equal on a one-for-one basis the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. In the event GreenSky issues, transfers or delivers from treasury stock or repurchases or redeems GreenSky’s preferred stock in a transaction not contemplated in this Agreement, the Manager shall have the authority to take all actions such that, after giving effect to all such issuances, transfers, deliveries, repurchases or redemptions, GreenSky holds (in the case of any issuance, transfer or delivery) or ceases to hold (in the case of any repurchase or redemption) equity interests in the Company that (in the good faith determination by the Manager) are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to the outstanding preferred stock of GreenSky so issued, transferred, delivered, repurchased or redeemed. The Company shall not undertake any subdivision (by any Common Unit split, Common Unit distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) or combination (by reverse Common Unit split, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) of the Common Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of Class A Common Stock to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by GreenSky

and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, unless such action is necessary to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by GreenSky and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 7.2. Simultaneously with any Common Unit split, Common Unit distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) or combination (by reverse Common Unit split, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) of the Common Units, GreenSky shall implement a comparable adjustment to the Class B Common Stock so as to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by Members other than GreenSky and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

(b) The Company shall be permitted to issue additional Units or other equity securities in the Company only to the Persons and on the terms and conditions provided for in, this Section 7.2. Subject to the foregoing, the Manager may cause the Company to issue additional Common Units authorized under this Agreement at such times and upon such terms as the Manager shall determine, and the Manager shall amend this Agreement as necessary in connection with the issuance of additional Common Units and admission of additional Members under this Section 7.5 without the requirement of any consent or acknowledgement of any other Member.

The Members acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by GreenSky, amendments to this Section 7.3 may become necessary or advisable and that any approval or consent to any such amendments requested by GreenSky shall be deemed granted by the Manager without the requirement of any further consent or acknowledgement of any other Member.

(e) Anti-dilution Adjustments. For all purposes of this Section 7.3, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and the corresponding number of Common Units shall be determined after giving effect to all anti-dilution or similar adjustments that are applicable, as of the date of exercise or vesting, to the option, warrant, restricted stock or other equity interest that is being exercised or becomes vested under the applicable Incentive Plan and applicable award or grant documentation.

Section 7.4 Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Cash Option Purchase Plan, Stock Incentive Plan or Other Plan. Except as may otherwise be provided in this ARTICLE VII, all amounts received or deemed received by GreenSky in respect of any dividend reinvestment plan, cash option purchase plan, stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, either (a) shall be utilized by GreenSky to effect open market purchases of shares of Class A Common Stock, or (b) if GreenSky elects instead to issue new shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed by GreenSky to the Company in exchange for additional Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Company will issue to GreenSky a number of Common Units equal to the number of new shares of Class A Common Stock so issued.

ARTICLE VIII
TRANSFER OF COMMON UNITS

Section 8.1 Restrictions on Members. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, or as consented to by the Manager, no Member shall directly or indirectly (including through the sale of the Member by its parent entity or equityholders), sell, transfer, assign, give, bequeath, devise, donate, exchange, pledge, hypothecate, enter into a derivative contract or similar arrangement with respect to, encumber, distribute or otherwise dispose of, either voluntarily or by operation of law (a “Transfer”), all or any part of the Common Units or any rights or interests therein, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; provided, however, that:

(c) all or any portion of an individual Member’s Units (which, in the case of Incentive Units, shall only include vested Units) may, on the death of such Member, be Transferred without consideration to its Family Group, provided that such Transfer complies with the requirements of Section 8.2,

(d) Financial Technology Investors, LLC and Founders Technology Investors, LLC may Transfer all or any portion of their Units without consideration to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or any member of the Family Group of such Person if such Person is treated as the owner of such Units within the meaning of Section 676 of the Code, provided that such Transfer complies with the requirements of Section 8.2,

(e) GS Investment Holdings, LLC may Transfer all or any portion of its Units without consideration to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (in his capacity as an owner or as an individual Member) or any member of the Family Group of such Person if such Person is treated as the owner of such Units within the meaning of Section 676 of the Code, provided that such Transfer complies with the requirements of Section 8.2,

transfer in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio and without any force or effect. No Member shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement by making one or more Transfers to one or more Permitted Transferees and then disposing of all or any portion of such party’s interest in any such Permitted Transferee, and any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this covenant shall be null and void ab initio.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without by implication in any way impacting any Permitted Transfers, (x) in no event shall the transfer, issuance or redemption of limited partnership interests in an Institutional Member (or any beneficial owner of an Institutional Member) that is a fund be deemed a “Transfer” hereunder and (y) nothing in this ARTICLE VIII shall restrict any Transfer of equity interests in an Institutional Member or the ultimate parent of an Institutional Member (or in any corporation, trust, limited liability company, general or limited partnership or other entity controlling or under common control with a fund that beneficially owns equity interests of an Institutional Member).

Company, the admission of a Substitute Member shall not release the Member assigning the Unit from any liability to the Company that may have existed prior to such approval.

Section 8.7 Paramount Provision.

(a) Pursuant to the Partnership Audit Provisions, the Manager shall be designated and may, on behalf of the Company, at any time, and without further notice to or consent from any Member, act as the “partnership representative” of the Company (within the meaning given to such

term in Section 6223 of the Code) (the “Partnership Representative”) for purposes of the Code. The Partnership Representative shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the Partnership Representative and is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The Partnership Representative is hereby authorized, and shall have the discretion based upon the advice of counsel, to make all elections under Sections 6225 and 6226 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Company and the Partnership Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Company or the Partnership Representative with respect to the conduct of such proceedings, including the making of, and compliance with, any elections with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Representative, the Company, and its agent or Affiliates, shall only require a Member to file amended tax returns in accordance with Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code (or any similar provisions under state, local or non-U.S. law) if, after taking into account the best interests of the Company and the Members as a whole, it is recommended based on the advice of counsel or the Company’s tax return preparer. The Partnership Representative shall keep Members reasonably informed regarding any material income tax proceedings, and the Members shall have the right to observe and participate through representatives of their own choosing (at their sole expense) in any such tax proceedings to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing herein shall diminish, limit or restrict the rights of any Member under the Partnership Audit Provisions.

(b) In the event the Company incurs any liability for taxes, interest or penalties:

(i) The Partnership Representative may, or if such amounts are material, shall, cause the Members (including any former Member) to whom such liability relates, as determined by the Partnership Representative, in its sole good faith discretion and after consulting with the Company’s and the affected Member’s tax advisors, to pay, and each such Member hereby agrees to pay, such amount to the Company, and such amount shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution; and

(ii) Any amount not paid by a Member (or former Member) within ten (10) days following the receipt of the request to pay delivered by the Partnership Representative shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as withholding payment governed by Section 6.3(b) hereof.

(iii) The obligations of each Member (or former Member) under this Section 13.3 and Section 6.3(b) shall survive the transfer or redemption by such Member of its Units and the termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the Company.

Section 13.4 Tax Treatment of the Company. The Company shall be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax purposes, to the extent applicable. The Manager and the Members shall take no action (or fail to take any action) that could cause the Company to be treated as other than in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 13.4.

In addition, each Member acknowledges that: (i) the Company has invested, and continues to invest, substantial time, expense and specialized knowledge in developing its Confidential Information; (ii) the Confidential Information provides the Company with a competitive advantage over others in the marketplace; and (iii) the Company would be irreparably harmed if the Confidential Information were disclosed to competitors or made available to the public. Without limiting the applicability of any other agreement to which any Member is subject, no Member shall, directly or indirectly, disclose or use (other than solely for the purposes of such Member monitoring and analyzing its investment in the Company), including, without limitation, use for personal, commercial or proprietary advantage or profit, any Confidential Information of which such Member is or becomes aware.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Investor or any other Member that is an institutional investor and any of their respective Affiliates may make customary disclosures to their limited partners and prospective limited partners in the ordinary course of business, subject to customary confidentiality obligations. It is further expressly acknowledged that nothing in Section 14.1(a), this Section 14.1(b) or otherwise in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise apply to disclosure by a Regulated Holder or any of its representatives to any banking regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Regulated Holder or any of its Affiliates, and that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Regulated Holder nor any of its representatives shall have any obligation to notify the Company of any such examination or communication.

1. (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1 to the contrary, if there shall be a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a Company Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Company Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Company Years) equal to each such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).

This Section is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.7042(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1 to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company Year, each Member who has a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Company Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Company Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704- 2(j)(2). This Section is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member shall unexpectedly receive any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), there shall subsequently be specially allocated to such Member items of income and gain so as to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 1(c) shall be made only if, and to the extent, such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all allocations provided for in this Exhibit C, other than those required by this Section 1(c), have been made.

provided for in this Exhibit C, other than those required by Section 1(c) hereof and this Section 1(d), have been made.

3. Allocations Upon Transfer. Any implication in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Unit shall be transferred during any Company Year, the Net Profits and Net Losses allocable with respect to such Unit for such Company Year shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the basis of the number of days in such Company Year each party was, according to the books and records of the Company, the owner of record of the Unit transferred, unless the transferor and transferee agree to use the closing of the books method, and agree to pay the costs of the Company in effectuating such closing of the books. Anything in this Section 4 notwithstanding, however, items described in Code Section 706(d)(2)(B) must be allocated pursuant to Code Section 706(d)(2).
