(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. Prior to the SCP PIMCO Threshold Date, subject to Manager Approval, the Servicer may utilize the proceeds from any Interim Loan to fund Investments or pay expenses; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Interim Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Capital Commitment of any Member. Following the SCP PIMCO Threshold Date, subject to Manager Approval, each payment of a Member’s Capital Commitment shall be made from time to time within fifteen (15) business days after notice from the Servicer specifying the amount then to be paid, or such later date as may be specified in such notice; provided, that the Members agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to contribute capital in fewer than fifteen (15) business days if practicable. Capital Contributions shall be made by all Members pro rata based on their respective Capital Commitments.

(b) Each Member’s obligation to fund its Capital Commitment shall commence on the date of the Member’s admission to the Company and expire upon the termination of the Reinvestment Period; provided that following the expiration of the Reinvestment Period, Members shall remain obligated to fund their respective Capital Commitments for Investments approved by Manager Approval that the Company was contractually committed to make in whole or in part (as evidenced by a binding commitment letter, binding term sheet or binding letter of intent, or definitive legal documents under which less than all advances have been made) on or before the expiration of the Reinvestment Period, Expenses and all other obligations of the Company including, for the avoidance of doubt, protective advances required under the Investments.

(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. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of all or any portion of a Member’s Capital Commitment shall not require Manager Approval or the consent of any other Member. Upon any such termination, the Reinvestment Period shall terminate and the Company shall be wound down in accordance with Section 8.3.

(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;

(ii) pay to the Company the Defaulting Member’s unpaid portion of the capital call (and, upon such payment, a corresponding portion of the Defaulting Member’s interest in the Company shall be transferred to such Member); and

(iii) 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, dissolve and wind down the Company in accordance with Article 8.

Except as set forth below, the non-defaulting Members’ election to pursue any one of such remedies shall not be deemed to preclude such Members 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.

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, provided, that if any such allocation would adversely affect a former Member to a greater extent than any permitted alternative, the approval of such former Member shall be required. 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 Allocations for Tax Purposes.

(a) Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for federal income tax purposes 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 federal 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.

available income sufficient 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, if any, as provided by Section 5.3 and Section 5.4), Solar shall cause the Company to make distributions of such amounts of income, shared among the Members in respect of their interests in the Company in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts; 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 Solar; 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 Solar (each a “Distribution Date”). Any distributions to be made by the Company which are not in accordance with the foregoing and any determination not to make any distributions as set forth in this Section 5.1 shall be subject to Manager Approval.

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 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 such fiscal year), in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts, an amount sufficient so that, together with distributions under Section 5.1 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, unless (i) the Company, as agreed by Manager Approval, has insufficient cash available (without the requirement for borrowings or the sale of assets) to make any such distributions or (ii) such distributions violate the terms and conditions of any credit facilities or other borrowings of the Company.

Section 5.3 Withholding. To the extent the Company is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments (including any interest, penalties or additions imposed with respect thereto) on behalf of or with respect to any Member (including backup withholding), the Company may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. If the Company pays or incurs any withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect to the income allocable or distributable to one or more Members, then the amount of such withholding tax or tax obligation shall be treated as a distribution to such Member or Members, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such amount shall be debited against the Capital Account(s) of such Member or Members as of the close of the accounting period during which the Company so withholds or pays such obligation. If the amount so withheld, paid or incurred is greater than the balance of the Capital Account(s) of the relevant Member or Members, as applicable, then such Member or Members and any successors shall make a contribution to the capital of the Company, in the amount of such excess. If such Member or Members fail to make such contribution, any amount which the Company is obligated to pay shall be deemed an interest-free advance from the Company to such Member or Members, 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 out of such Member’s aggregate unreturned Capital Contributions, 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.

(d) Manager Approval shall be required prior to the Company making any distribution in-kind. 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.

ARTICLE 6 MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY

The Board is hereby established and shall be comprised of natural Persons (each such Person, a “Manager”) who shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed, operated and controlled by or under the direction of the Board, and the Board shall have, and is hereby granted, the full and complete power, authority and discretion for, on behalf of and in the name of the Company, to take such actions as it may in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable to carry out any and all of the objectives and purposes of the Company, subject only to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Board Composition; Vacancies.

(a) The Company and the Members shall take such actions as may be required to ensure that the number of Managers constituting the Board is at all times three (3). The Board shall be comprised of the following Managers: (i) two (2) individuals designated by Solar, who shall initially be ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and (ii) one (1) individual designated by Deerfield, who shall initially be ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. A Member may, by written notice to the other Members, appoint an alternate or proxy Board designee to take action in place of any current designee who may be temporarily unavailable at the time such action is required.

(b) In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board at any time due to the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of a Manager, then the Member who appointed such Manager pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2 shall have the right to designate an individual to fill such vacancy and the Company and each Member hereby agree to take such actions as may be required to ensure the election or appointment of such designee to fill such vacancy on the Board.

Section 6.3 Removal; Resignation.

(a) A Manager may be removed or replaced at any time from the Board, with or without cause, upon, and only upon, the written request of the Member that designated the applicable Manager.

(b) A Manager may resign at any time from the Board by delivering his written resignation to the Board. Any such resignation shall be effective upon receipt thereof unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the occurrence of some other event. The Board’s acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Section 6.4 Meetings.

(a) The Board shall meet no less frequently than once per fiscal quarter, at such time and at such place as the Board may designate. Meetings of the Board may be held either in person or by means of telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, at the offices of the Company or such other place (either within or outside the State of Delaware) as may be determined from time to time by the Board. Written notice of each meeting of the Board shall be given to each Manager at least three (3) business days’ written notice (if the meeting is to be held in person) or two (2) business days’ written notice (if the meeting is to be held by telephone communications or video conference) prior to each such meeting or upon such shorter notice as may be approved by all the Managers.

(b) Special meetings of the Board shall be held on the call of all Managers upon at least three (3) business days’ written notice (if the meeting is to be held in person) or two (2) business days’ written notice (if the meeting is to be held by telephone communications or video conference) to the Managers, or upon such shorter notice as may be approved by all the Managers. Any Manager may waive such notice as to himself.

(c) Attendance of a Manager at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. Any Manager may waive notice as to himself.

Section 6.5 Quorum; Manner of Acting.

(a) Attendance by all Managers serving on the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board. At all times when the Board is conducting business at a meeting of the Board, a quorum of the Board must be present at such meeting. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, then the Managers present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

(b) Any Manager may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

(c) Each Manager shall have one vote on all matters submitted to the Board or any Committee thereof. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Board shall act with Manager Approval, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the approval of a majority of the Managers constituting a quorum of the Board shall be sufficient for the Company to approve or make any amendment that is not an Excluded Amendment to the terms of any Investment. For the avoidance of doubt, any action taken by the Servicer in its capacity as the Servicer and pursuant to the Servicing Agreement shall not be an act of the Solar Managers, in their capacity as Managers, or Solar, in its capacity as a Member.

Section 6.6 Action By Written Consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any action of the Board (or any Committee) may be taken without a meeting if either (a) a written consent executed by all of the Managers of the Board (or Committee members appointed by Solar and Deerfield) shall approve such action; provided, that prior written notice of such action is provided to all Managers (or Committee members) at least one day before such action is taken. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote at a meeting where a quorum was present and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

Section 6.7 Expense Reimbursement. Each Manager shall be reimbursed by the Company for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of his duties as a Manager, pursuant to such policies as may from time to time be established by the Board.

Section 6.8 Committees. The Board may, by Manager Approval, designate from among the Managers (or other persons) one or more Committees, each of which shall be comprised of one or more Managers (or other persons selected by the Managers); provided, that in no event may the Board designate any Committee with all of the authority of the Board, and, provided, further, that each Committee shall include at least one member designated by the Deerfield Manager. The Board by Manager Approval may dissolve any Committee, and the Managers that appointed a member of a Committee may remove such member of a Committee at any time. Effective on the date of this Agreement, the

Board establishes the Audit Committee. The members of the Audit Committee shall be designated by the Board, and the charter for the Audit Committee shall be approved by the Board promptly after the date hereof.

Section 6.9 Servicing Agreement. The Company is entering into the Servicing Agreement with the Servicer, pursuant to which certain functions are delegated to the Servicer. The Servicing Agreement is hereby approved by the Members, provided that amendments thereto are subject to Manager Approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Deerfield, as an express third-party beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement, may enforce the terms thereof for Deerfield’s benefit, without Manager Approval or other approval or consent of any Manager or Member or the Company; provided Deerfield provides notice of such action to the other Members.

Section 6.10 Restrictions. Without Manager Approval, the Company shall not:

(a) approve or make any Investments or acquire any other entity or business;

(b) sell, dispose of or transfer to a third Person any Investments or interests in any Investments;

(d) enter into any agreement with respect to (i) a plan of merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the consolidation of entities as may be required by GAAP) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;

(e) enter into any agreement with any Affiliate of a Member (except for the Servicing Agreement which has been approved by the Members);

(k) convert the Company into a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes;

(l) create or issue any equity interests or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity interests of the Company;

(m) subject to Solar’s ability to declare dividends, maintain reserves for working capital in relation to quarterly or other distributions;

(t) amend or waive any provisions of any of the Company’s constituent documents, including, without limitation, the charters of any Committees; or

(u) commit or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 6.11 No Personal Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Act, by applicable law or expressly in this Agreement, no Manager will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Manager.

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 previously delegated by Manager Approval, with the exception of such contracts, instruments or acts requiring Manager Approval under this Agreement, 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 approval of the Board or Manager Approval as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.13 Members’ Outside Transactions; Investment Opportunities; Time and Attention; Conflict of Interest; Resolution of Trading Conflicts.

(a) Each Manager shall devote such time and effort as is reasonably necessary to diligently administer the activities and affairs of the Company, but shall not be obligated to spend full time or any specific portion of their time to the activities and affairs of the Company.

(b) Solar and its Affiliates may manage or administer other investment funds and other accounts with similar or dissimilar mandates, and may be subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act, including, without limitation, Section 57 thereof, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereof, with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities among such other investment funds and other accounts (the “Allocation Requirements”). For the avoidance of doubt, any transaction that arises under or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Order.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.13 and other provisions of this Agreement, each of the Members, the Servicer and each of their respective Affiliates and members may engage in, invest in, participate in or otherwise enter into other business ventures of any kind, nature and description, individually and with others, including, without limitation, the formation and management of other investment funds with or without the same or similar purposes as the Company, and the ownership of and investment in securities, and neither the Company nor any other Member shall have any right in or to any such activities or the income or profits derived therefrom.

(d) In the event that any agreement (including with respect to any Interim Loan) or Investment contemplated for the Company is with (i) any Affiliate of any Member or (ii) any other party with which a Member has an existing relationship or investment, such Member shall disclose such relationship to the Board in advance of the Board’s consideration of such agreement or Investment and all material information with respect thereto. Any such conflicts of interest and/or related transactions that are presented to the Company may only be approved, waived or otherwise consented to with Manager Approval. The Members and their respective Affiliates shall not enter into a new contract or agreement with any Portfolio Company without Manager Approval, including any terms (monetary or otherwise) or conditions thereof that would be less favorable to the Company than such terms and conditions as would be reasonably expected to be obtainable at the time in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a person other than an Affiliate of Solar.

(e) Deerfield shall disclose to Solar the name of any publicly traded issuer in which Deerfield has an investment if the Company proposes to invest in the same issuer (including, by way of example and not limitation, any publicly traded equity, convertible securities, bonds or other instruments traded on an exchange or otherwise not acquired in a private transaction). In addition, Deerfield and Solar each agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a “Conflict” shall exist if (x) Deerfield or any of its Affiliates holds the publicly traded securities, bonds or any similar instrument of or an interest in any Portfolio Company, and (y) the value of Deerfield’s securities, bonds or similar instrument or interest in such Portfolio Company exceeds 50% of Deerfield’s pro rata share of the Company’s investment in such Portfolio Company. If a Conflict exists and an event (each, a “Credit Event”) requires the Company to approve one of the items on the Approved Amendment List below, Solar and Deerfield shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree on a reasonable course of action to address the required actions from the Approved Amendment List. If Solar and Deerfield do not mutually agree on a reasonable course of action to address such Credit Event within four (4) business days after which Deerfield is provided with appropriate materials to make such a decision, including all reasonable materials requested by Deerfield, then Solar and

Deerfield will, together, request that a representative from PIMCO having involvement with a PIMCO affiliate which is a Member of the Company (the “PIMCO Appointee”) be selected and be deemed a Manager under this Agreement in place of Deerfield solely for purposes of addressing the Credit Event in accordance with this Section 6.13(e) and Section 6.13(f).

(f) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.13(g), the following are agreements and actions with respect to an Investment that can be approved pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 6.13 upon the occurrence of a Credit Event (the “Approved Amendment List”):

(i) The exercise of any remedies under the relevant documentation including forbearance and restructuring upon an event of default by such issuer;

(ii) Any amendment(s) to the relevant documentation to waive a default or event of default or any event that, with the passage of time, could reasonably be expected to cause a default or an event of default by such issuer;

(iii) Any amendment(s) to the relevant documentation where the Company is granted a lien on intellectual property or other material additional collateral;

(iv) Any amendment(s) to the relevant documentation that would result in a change to any amortization schedule described therein as a response to (A) the Portfolio Company’s failure to meet any key milestone or (B) a material increase in the cash burn rate applicable to the borrower thereunder; and

(v) Any determination that a material adverse effect has occurred with respect to the Portfolio Company under the relevant governing documentation.

(g) Any agreement or action obligating the Company to make an Investment, increase its investment in, or restore the principal balance of, a Portfolio Company, or that adversely affects Deerfield’s interest in an Investment in a materially disproportionate manner compared to any other Member is not permitted under the Approved Amendment List. Furthermore, if a Conflict exists and the Deerfield Manager does not provide consent for purposes of Manager Approval to the Company investing in a debtor-in-possession financing facility for the applicable Portfolio Company, then Solar may, notwithstanding this Section 6.13, pursue and consummate such financing independently of the Company (an “Independent Financing”), provided that Solar shall offer Deerfield the right to participate as a lender in such Independent Financing, pro rata in accordance with relative percentage interests in the Company held by Solar and Deerfield as of the date of the consummation of such Independent Financing.

Section 6.14 Exculpation of Managers.

(a) No Manager shall be liable to the Company or any other Manager for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Manager in good-faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, so long as such action or omission does not constitute, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct by such Manager.

(b) A Manager shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits or Losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) another Manager; (ii) one or more officers or employees of the Company or the Servicer; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company or the Servicer; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in § 18-406 of the Delaware Act.

Section 6.15 Liabilities and Duties of the Members and Managers.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Member or Manager with respect to the Company. Furthermore, each of the Members, Managers and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by the Act or other applicable law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Member and Manager to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Agreement is not intended to limit any fiduciary duty that any Member or Manager may have with respect to any other entity. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member or a Manager otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members and the Managers to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Member or Manager.

(b) Whenever in this Agreement a Member or 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 authority or latitude), such Member or Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Member or Manager desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person other than those required by applicable law, rule, regulation or order. Whenever in this Agreement a Member or Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in such Manager’s “good faith”, the Member or the Manager, as applicable, shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement, the Act or any other applicable law.

Section 6.16 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Section 6.16, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or arbitrative or in the nature of an alternative dispute resolution in lieu of any of the foregoing (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such Person, or a Person of which such Person is the legal representative, is or was a Member or a

Manager or a representative thereof, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law including, but not limited to, the Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all liabilities and expenses (including judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), losses, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees)) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (each a “Loss”), unless such Loss shall have been primarily the result of gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct by the Person seeking indemnification hereunder, in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Loss to the extent resulting from such gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct. 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, intentional 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.

Section 6.17 Tax Matters Member.

(a) SLRC (or any Affiliate designated by SLRC as its replacement) is hereby designated, and shall serve as, the “tax matters partner” (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) or, after the effective date of Section 1101 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (or any successor or similar provision of federal, state or local law) (the “New Partnership Audit Rules”), the “partnership representative” (“Tax Matters Member”). Except as provided in this Section 6.17, the Tax Matters Member shall be authorized and required to make any determination, decision or election related to its capacity as Tax Matters Member, in its sole discretion, and to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by any relevant governmental agency, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The settlement of any material tax examination or proceeding by the Tax Matters Member shall be subject to the prior written consent of Deerfield, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Tax Matters Member shall have the right to retain professional assistance in respect of any audit of the Company and all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by the Tax Matters Member on behalf of the Company as Tax Matters Member shall be reimbursed by the Company. Each Member shall be a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code.

(b) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 or later date, if applicable, the Tax Matters Member (i) except as agreed to by all of the Members, shall make an election under Section 6221 of the New Partnership Audit Rules, to the extent available under applicable law; and (ii) shall be permitted to make an election under Section 6226 of the New Partnership Audit Rules, in each case as and when permitted by applicable law; provided, that in the course of deciding whether to make the election described in clause (ii), the Tax Matters Member shall take into account the potential tax impact to each Member of such election. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Tax Matters Member shall not be liable for making (or not making) such election after taking into account the potential tax impact of such election. If the Company is subject to any tax liabilities under Section 6225 of the New Partnership Audit Rules, the Tax Matters Member shall, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, allocate among the Members any tax liability imposed under Section 6225 of the New Partnership Audit Rules, to the extent applicable, after applying the procedures set forth under Section 6225(c) by reducing amounts otherwise distributable to the Members hereunder in a fair and equitable manner (it being understood that any tax liabilities so allocated shall be treated as distributed to the applicable Members in accordance with Section 5.3).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.17, the Tax Matters Partner shall at all times act at the lawful direction of the Board.

ARTICLE 7 TRANSFERS OF COMPANY INTERESTS;

WITHDRAWALS

Section 7.1 Transfers by Members.

(a) The interest of a Member in the Company and any Interim Loans held by a Member may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise hypothecated without Manager Approval, provided, that, a Member shall be permitted to transfer or assign (with or without consideration) some or all of its membership interests in the Company (and all or any portion of its remaining Capital Commitments) or Interim Loans to one or more Affiliates of such Member without Manager Approval so long as no such transfer or assignment will adversely impact any other Member. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 7.1(a) shall be void ab initio.

(b) In connection with the permitted transfer of any equity in the Company, each transferee shall execute a joinder to this Agreement in the form as determined by the Managers. Upon execution of such joinder by the transferee, the transferring Member shall be released from all rights, obligations, and liabilities arising from and after the date thereof with respect to the transferred interest, as applicable, including the right to vote on any matters relating to the Company. Upon such a transfer, the transferee shall assume the economic obligations and liabilities (and all economic rights and benefits) including, without limitation, the Capital Commitment of the transferring Member with respect to such transferred interest and shall become a party to this Agreement and be treated as Member hereunder.

In the event that Solar does not provide valuations to the Board within thirty (30) business days of the end of any fiscal quarter, Deerfield 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 the investment adviser to SLRC or SUNS or any Affiliate of such investment adviser (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, and the Deerfield Manager shall have the right to require the Company 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 discrepancy. 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.

(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, the Deerfield Manager shall have the right to object to the Servicer’s valuation of the Company’s assets and may require the Company 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 the Servicer by the Deerfield Manager in writing within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt. Such objection shall be made automatically in relation to any valuation provided in connection with any in-kind distribution under this Agreement. 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.
