(ii) Waives objection to consideration at such meeting of a particular matter not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice unless the Member objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

3.12 Record Dates. For the purpose of determining the Members who are entitled to vote or act at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, or who are entitled to participate in any distribution, or for the purpose of any other action, the Managers may fix a date and time not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of any meeting of Members or other action as the date and time of record for the determination of Members entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as Members of record for purposes of such other action, and any Member who was a Member at the date and time so fixed shall be entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a Member of record for purposes of such other action, even though he has since that date and time disposed of his Units, and no Member becoming such after that date and time shall be so entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to be treated as a Member of record for purposes of such other action.

3.13 Voting Record. The Person having charge of the membership records of the Company shall make, at least two days before such meeting of Members, a complete record of the Members entitled to vote at each meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, with the address of each. The record, for a period of two days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the principal executive offices of the Company, and shall be subject to inspection by any Member for any proper purpose germane to the meeting at any time during usual business hours; provided, however, that such Member shall have made a demand to view such records not less than 5 business days after receipt of notice of such meeting, properly delivered to the Company and setting forth in reasonable detail the purpose for which such Member desires to view such information. The original membership records shall be the prima facie evidence as to who are the Members entitled to examine the record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of Members.

3.14 Voting; Quorum of Members; Vote Required.

the subject matter shall be the act of the Members, unless the vote of a greater proportion or number or voting by classes is required by the Act, the Investment Company Act or this Agreement.

(d) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, the right to ratify the appointment of the independent accountants of the Company by the affirmative vote of more than 50% of the Units then outstanding and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote; provided, however, that such appointment is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Managers;

(e) Such Member shall notify the Managers immediately if any representations or warranties made herein or in any Subscription Agreement should be or become untrue; and

MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY

4.1 Board of Managers. The governing body of the Company shall be the Board of Managers, which shall have the power to control the management and policies of the Company. The maximum number of Managers shall initially be set at three (3), and may be increased or decreased by action of the Board of Managers provided that at no time shall the number of Managers be set at less than three (3) or more than ten (10). The Managers shall be set forth in Schedule A hereto or in the official records of the Company. The Managers shall hold office until their successors are approved and elected, unless they are sooner removed pursuant to Section 4.4, or sooner resign pursuant to Section 4.3 or sooner are incapacitated pursuant to Section 4.5, as the case may be. Managers may succeed themselves in office. No reduction in the number of Managers shall have the effect of removing any Manager from office unless specially removed pursuant to Section 4.4 at the time of such decrease. Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, the Board of Managers may designate successors to fill vacancies created by an authorized increase in the number of Managers, the resignation of a Manager pursuant to Section 4.3, the removal of a member of the Board of Managers pursuant to Section 4.4 or the incapacity of a Manager pursuant to Section 4.5. In the event that no Managers remain, the Investment Adviser shall continue the business of the Company and shall perform all duties of the Managers under this Agreement and shall as soon as practicable call a special meeting of Members for the purpose of approving and electing Managers. When Managers are subject to election by Members, Managers are elected by a plurality of the Units voting at the meeting. Managers may, but need not be, admitted to the Company as Members to act in their capacity as Managers.

4.3 Resignation by a Manager. A Manager may voluntarily resign from the Board of Managers upon the giving of notice thereof to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon receipt of such notice by the Company or such later date as set forth in such notice.

(a) Any Manager may be removed either: (i) for Cause by the action of at least two-thirds of the remaining Managers; (ii) by failure to be re-elected by the Members at a meeting of Members duly called by the Managers for such purpose; or (iii) for Cause by the affirmative vote of a Supermajority of Members. The removal of a Manager shall in no way derogate from any rights or powers of such Manager, or the exercise thereof, or the validity of any actions taken pursuant thereto, prior to the date of such removal.

(b) The remaining Managers shall designate a successor Manager to fill any vacancy existing in the number of Managers fixed pursuant to Section 4.1 resulting from removal of a Manager, provided, however, that in the case of a Disinterested Manager, only the remaining Disinterested Managers may designate a successor Disinterested Manager. Any such successor Manager shall hold office until his or her successor has been approved and duly elected.

(c) Any removal of a Manager shall not affect any rights or liabilities of the removed Manager that matured prior to such removal.

4.5 Incapacity of a Manager.

(a) In the event of the Incapacity of a Manager, the business of the Company shall be continued by the remaining Managers. The remaining Managers shall, within 90 days, call a meeting of the Board of Managers for the purpose of designating a successor Manager. Any such successor Manager shall hold such office until his or her successor has been approved and elected by the Members. The Managers shall make such amendments to the certificate of formation and execute and file for recordation such amendments or other documents or instruments as are necessary and required by the Act or this Agreement to reflect the fact that such Incapacitated Manager has ceased to be a Manager and the appointment of such successor Manager.

(b) In the event of the Incapacity of all Managers, an Appropriate Officer shall as promptly as practicable convene a meeting of Members for the purpose of electing new Managers nominated by the Investment Adviser. Upon the Incapacity of a Manager, the Manager shall immediately cease to be a Manager.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO CAPITAL

7.1 Closings and Capital Contributions.

(a) The Company shall have one or more closings (each a “Closing”) at which time Persons may be admitted as Members of the Company pursuant to the terms hereof and existing Members may be offered the opportunity to increase their Capital Contributions. The first Closing (the “Initial Closing”) shall occur on such date as determined by the Managers in their sole discretion and all subsequent Closings (each an “Additional Closing”) shall occur on such date(s) as may be determined by the Managers in their sole discretion (the “Additional Closing Dates”); provided however, that the last Closing shall occur no later than March 31, 2008, which date may be accelerated or delayed by the Managers in their sole discretion (the “Final Closing Date”). The books and records of the Company shall be amended following each Closing to reflect the identity of the Members and their respective Capital Contributions.

(b) Capital Contributions by the Members shall be made in dollars by wire transfer of federal funds to an account or accounts of the Company as specified by the Company or in such other manner as the Company may direct. No Member shall be entitled to any interest or compensation by reason of his, her or its Capital Contribution or by reason of being a Member. No Member shall be required to lend any funds to the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Company may at any time call for contributions to the capital of the Company provided that the Company will give each Member at least five (5) days’ prior written notice (which may be given by e-mail) as to the due date for and amount of each such capital contribution.

(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, a Member may not make less than the full amount of its Capital Contribution called by the Investment Adviser pursuant to Section 7.1(b). In the event any Member fails to pay any amount which it is required to pay to the Company on or before the date when such amount is due and payable, a written notice of default shall be given to such Member by the Company. If the full amount of the required contribution to the capital of the Company is not received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, such Member shall be deemed to be in default hereunder (a “Defaulting Member”) and the Company will, to the extent allocable and permitted under applicable law, allocate expenses, penalties, costs,

liabilities or obligations incurred by the Company, as a result of the Member defaulting, to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 8.10. In addition, the Investment Adviser may, at its discretion, exclude a Defaulting Member from future capital calls.

(d) Members shall be required to pay a commitment fee to the placement agent in accordance with the terms of such Member’s Subscription Agreement. Any commitment fee amounts are in addition to the commitment made and are due upon acceptance by the Company.

7.2 Return of Capital. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution, to receive interest or other earnings on its Capital Contributions, or to receive any distributions from the Company, nor shall any Member have priority over any other Member either as to the return of such Member’s capital or as to profits, losses or distributions.

7.3 Liability of the Members and the Managers. Except for the obligations hereunder and under the Subscription Agreements, the liability of the Members shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Act. If a Member is required under the Act to return to the Company or pay, for the benefit of creditors of the Company, amounts previously distributed to such Member, the obligation of such Member to return or pay any such amount to the Company shall be the obligation of such Member and not the obligation of the Managers. The liability of the Managers shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Act.

ARTICLE VIII.

8.6 Allocations to Capital Accounts.

(a) Subject to other provisions of this Article VIII, for each fiscal year, the Company’s items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner that, immediately after giving effect to such allocations, each Member’s Target Capital Account balance, taking into account all contributions by such Member and distributions to such Member, equals, as nearly as possible, the amount of cash, if any, that would be distributed to such Member if (i) all the Company’s assets were sold for cash equal to their respective book values (as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-(b)(2)(iv)), reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of nonrecourse debt to which such assets are subject, (ii) all the Company’s liabilities (other than nonrecourse liabilities) were paid in full, and (iii) all the remaining cash were distributed to the Members under Section 8.2(a) (disregarding the proviso in Section 8.2(a)(ii)(B)).

(b) Nonrecourse deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)), tax credits, and other items the allocation of which cannot have economic effect shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Capital Contributions.

The Board of Managers may, in its discretion, adjust the subsequent allocations of income, gain, losses, or deduction to prevent distortion of the economic arrangement of the Members, as otherwise described in this Agreement, due to allocations resulting from the preceding sentence.

(d) Transfer of or Change in Membership Interests. The Managers are authorized to adopt any convention or combination of conventions likely to be upheld for federal income tax purposes regarding the allocation and/or special allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to a newly issued Membership Interest, a transferred Membership Interest and a redeemed Membership Interest. Upon admission as a Substituted Member, a transferee of a Membership Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Member to the extent it relates to the transferred Membership Interest.

(e) Certain Expenses. Syndication and organization expenses, as defined in Section 709 of the Code (and, to the extent necessary as determined in the sole discretion of the Managers, any other items) shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members so that, as nearly as possible, the cumulative amount of such syndication and organization expenses (and other items, if relevant) allocated with respect to each dollar of Capital Contribution for each Member is the same amount.

8.7 Tax Allocations.

(a) Items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in the same manner as the Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof) of which such items are components were allocated pursuant to Section 8.6; provided, however, that tax allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent so required thereby.

(b) Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.7 are solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profit (and items thereof) or Net Loss (and items thereof).

8.8 Determinations by the Managers. All matters concerning the computation of Capital Accounts, the allocation of Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof), the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for tax purposes and the adoption of any accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Managers in their sole discretion. Such determination shall be final and conclusive as to all the Members. Notwithstanding anything express or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Managers shall determine, in their sole discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Members as reflected in Article VIII, the Managers may make such modification without the approval of Members.

8.9 Tax Matters Partner. The Special Member shall act as “tax matters partner” of the Company within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and in any similar capacity under applicable state or local tax law.

On dissolution of the Company, a liquidator (who shall be selected by the Managers, if still constituted, and otherwise shall be a Person proposed and approved by a Majority in Interest of the Members) shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of dissolution, and such statement shall be furnished to all of the Members. Then, those Company assets that the liquidator determines should be liquidated shall be liquidated as promptly as possible, but in an orderly and business-like manner to maximize proceeds. Assets that the liquidator determines to distribute in kind shall be so distributed in a manner consistent with applicable law. If the liquidator determines that an immediate sale at the time of liquidation of all or part of the Company assets would be unduly disadvantageous to the Members, the liquidator may, either defer liquidation and retain the assets for a reasonable time, or distribute the assets to the Members in kind. The liquidator shall then wind up the affairs of the Company and distribute the proceeds of the Company by the end of the calendar year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) in the following order or priority:

(a) to the payment of the expenses of liquidation and to creditors (including Members who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law) in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company other than liabilities for distributions to Members, in the order of priority as provided by law;

(b) to the setting up of any reserves that the liquidator may deem necessary or appropriate for any anticipated obligations or contingencies of the Company or of the liquidator arising out of or in connection with the operation or business of the Company. Such reserves may be paid over by the liquidator to an escrow agent or trustee proposed and approved by the liquidator to be disbursed by such escrow agent or trustee in payment of any of the aforementioned obligations or contingencies and, if any balance remains at the expiration of such period as the liquidator shall deem advisable, to be distributed by such escrow agent or trustee in the manner hereinafter provided; then

13.3 Termination. The liquidator shall comply with any requirements of the Act or other applicable law pertaining to the winding up of a limited liability company, at which time the Company shall stand terminated.
