ARTICLE 3

COMPANY CAPITAL AND INTERESTS

Sect ion 3.1 Capital Commitments; Capital Contributions.

(a) Each Member’s Capital Commitment shall be set forth on Schedule D and on the Member List. Each Member’s initial Capital Contributions shall be set forth on Schedule C. In exchange for each Member’s Capital Commitment, each Member has received an interest in the Company, including such Member’s interest in the capital, income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company, the right to designate, appoint, remove and replace Board Members and their respective successors and the right to vote, if any, on certain Company matters, in each instance in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. There will only be one class of interests in respect of and issued by the Company. Each Member’s Capital Contribution shall be subject to Board Approval and shall be made from time to time upon no less than three (3) Business Days prior notice from the Administrator (or any other Person with the power and authority to call the Capital Commitments) specifying (i) the amount then to be paid, (ii) the intended use of such funds (including for the making or purchasing interests in Investments on behalf of the Company, any Subsidiary or Alternative Investment Vehicle, payment of Expenses, and payment of indemnification and/or other obligations), and (iii) the due date for the related Capital Contribution (each, a “Capital Call Notice”); provided that, the Board shall not authorize any Capital Contribution from a Member unless a related capital call is made on all other Members, pro rata, based upon their respective Capital Commitments; and provided further, that to the extent that the intended use of any such capital call is to avoid an adverse consequence under the Loan and Security Agreement, the Capital Contributions with respect to such capital call shall not exceed 10% of the Advances Outstanding (as such term is defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) as of the date of such capital call; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Capital Contributions comprising the Contributed Assets shall be payable to the Company at the Initial Closing and a Capital Call Notice and capital call shall not be required to be delivered in respect of such Capital Contributions. Each Capital Contribution shall be payable in cash in U.S. dollars or, with Board Approval (except as provided in Section 3.1(e)), in in-kind contributions of Investments or other assets at a value and pursuant to documentation that (except as provided in Section 3.1(e)) are approved by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the unpaid balances of the Capital Commitments, in-kind contributions will carry the value approved by the Board at the time the contribution is made (except as provided in Section 3.1(e)). Capital Contributions shall be made by all Members pro rata based on their respective Capital Commitments.

(b) Capital Contributions made in cash which are not used for their intended purpose or for any other purpose permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be returned to the Members within ninety (90) days in the same proportion in which made, in which case such amounts shall be added back to the unfunded Capital Commitments of the Members and may be recalled by the Company as set forth in this Article 3; provided, however, that no such amount shall be paid to a Member that is, or has been, a Defaulting Member at any time during such ninety (90) day period. Capital Contributions which have been returned to Members also may be recalled to the extent provided by Section 5.3(a).

(c) The Members shall under no circumstance be obligated to make Capital Contributions to the Company in excess of their respective Capital Commitments.

(d) During the Investment Period, the Company may request Capital Contributions to fund the purchase of Investments and, to the extent that Expenses are not reimbursed by the obligor of an Investment made by the Company, to pay Expenses. After the end of the Investment Period, the Members shall be released from any further obligations to make Capital Contributions with respect to their Capital Commitments, except to (i) fund a pending Capital Call Notice; (ii) fund an Investment that the Company has committed to prior to the termination of the Investment Period; (iii) fund an Investment under active consideration pursuant to a memorandum of understanding or letter of intent, whether or not binding, by the Company prior to the end of the Investment Period; and (iv) take any actions in clauses (ii) , (iii), (v) and (vi) of Valid Company Purposes.

(e) Contributed Assets. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.1, each of the Members acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(i) each Member has contributed all of the membership interests in SLP I and/or SLP II held by such Member, as applicable (the “Contributed Assets”), to the Company, by way of an in-kind contribution in consideration for membership interests in the Company, pursuant to the Contribution Agreements;

(ii) a Member’s contribution of the applicable Contributed Assets it has contributed to the Company shall be deemed to be an in-kind Capital Contribution in respect of such Member’s Capital Commitment and shall be considered the initial Capital Contributions made by such Member as set forth on Schedule C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including without limitation, Sections 3.1(a) and 9.4, (A) the value attributed to the Contribution Assets as of the date hereof shall be as set forth in Schedule C, and (B) such valuation and the Capital Contribution of the Contributed Assets to the Company, in each case, as set forth in Schedule C are hereby approved, confirmed and ratified in all respects by the Members and shall not require Board Approval; and

(iii) by entering into this Agreement and acquiring membership interests in the Company, each of the Members shall be deemed to have acknowledged and consented to any actual or potential conflicts of interest relating to any such in-kind contributions.

Section 3.2 Temporary Advances.

(a) Subject to Board Approval, one or more Members or their subsidiaries, in its discretion, may make loans (each, a “Temporary Advance”) to temporarily fund the obligations of another Member who fails to make Capital Contributions as set forth in Section 3.1 or to provide the funding contemplated by Section 3.2(b) (“Non-Contributing Member”), by paying the amount of such Temporary Advance to the Company on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member. Temporary Advances plus interest at the Temporary Advance Rate accrued thereon, shall be repaid directly by the Non-Contributing Member or be returned, as and when available, from Investment Proceeds otherwise distributable to such Non-Contributing Member (and such distributions shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as distributed to such Non-Contributing Member); provided, that, a Member’s repayment of interest in respect of a Temporary Advance shall not reduce the amount of such Member(s) remaining Capital Commitment. For example, if the Company has called Capital Contributions of $200 from the Members (i.e., $100 per Member), and one Member contributes $200 because the Non-Contributing Member is unwilling or unable to contribute its $100 before the date required by

Section 3.1, then the $100 advanced on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member shall constitute a Temporary Advance. The parties agree that the Temporary Advances shall be a non-recourse loan from the Member making such Temporary Advance to the Non-Contributing Member followed by a Capital Contribution by the Non-Contributing Member to the Company.

(b) If the Board fails to timely approve a call for Capital Contributions in cash in accordance with Section 3.1 that is (i) requested by any Member and (ii) intended to avoid or cure any borrowing base deficiency, default, event of default, potential termination event or termination event relating to any Facility or any derivative instrument or other indebtedness incurred by the Company or a Subsidiary, each of the other Members may, in its sole discretion, fund in cash only the amount necessary to avoid or cure such borrowing base deficiency, default, event of default, potential termination event or termination event as required under the terms of any such Facility, derivative instrument or other indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary without Board Approval, and the amount of any such funding shall be deemed a Temporary Advance from the advancing Member to the Non-Contributing Member and repaid or returned to the advancing Member (together with interest accruing on such amount accrued thereon at the Temporary Advance Rate) as set forth in Section 3.2(a); provided that all interest due and payable in respect of any Temporary Advance shall be the sole responsibility of the Non-Contributing Member(s) and shall not reduce the amount of such Non-Contributing Member(s) remaining Capital Commitment.

Section 3.3 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 the time period specified in the related Capital Call Notice (the Business Day next succeeding the tenth (10th) Business Day immediately following the expiration of such time period being the “Default Date”) in accordance with Section 3.1(a), each non-Defaulting Member, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, without notice to the Defaulting Member, to pursue one or more of the following remedies on behalf of the Company:

(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) contribute such unpaid portion to the Company, which amount shall be deemed a Temporary Advance and returned to the non-defaulting Member pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof;

(iii) charge interest on the unpaid balance of any overdue Capital Commitment at a rate equal to the Default Rate, from the date such balance was due and payable through the date full payment for such Capital Commitment is actually made; and/or

(iv) exercise all rights of a secured creditor at law or in equity, including the right to sell all of the interest in the Company held by the Defaulting Member to the Company or another Person (including, without limitation, an existing Member) at a price equal to the Capital Account of the Defaulting Member adjusted to reflect the Value of the Company as determined as of the date of the last valuation pursuant to Section 9.4 (and be required to assume the Defaulting Member’s remaining Capital Commitment), with the proceeds from such sale to be applied in the following order: first, to the payment of the expenses of the sale; second, to the payment of the expenses of the

Company resulting from the default, including court costs and penalties, if any, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs; third, to the payment of all amounts due from the Defaulting Member to the Company, including the amount of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Contribution required pursuant to the related Capital Call Notice and interest due thereon pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(iii); fourth, to the Defaulting Member, an amount up to fifty percent (50%) of the amount the Defaulting Member previously contributed to the Company less any distributions previously made to the Defaulting Member; and thereafter, any remainder to the Company;

Except as set forth below, the non-Defaulting Member’s election to pursue any one of such remedies shall not be deemed to preclude the Company or such non-Defaulting Member from pursuing any other such remedy, or any other available remedy, simultaneously or subsequently. For the avoidance of doubt, if applicable, a Member shall not be deemed to be a Defaulting Member until the resolution of any dispute as to whether the Member failed to pay in full any portion of such Member’s Capital Commitment within the time period specified in the related Capital Call Notice in accordance with Section 3.1(a).

(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;

(ii) a Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to distributions made after the Default Date until the default is cured;

(iii) a default may be cured by a Defaulting Member within ten days by contribution to the Company of an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid balance of any overdue Capital Commitment_plus interest accrued therein at the Default Rate; and

(iv) the Company shall not make new Investments after the Default Date until the default is cured, except as permitted pursuant to clauses (ii) through (viii) of Valid Company Purposes.

Section 3.4 Interest or Withdrawals. Except for the payment of interest in connection with a Temporary Advance as provided in Section 3.2, 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 Contributions, increased or decreased by Profit or Loss allocated to such Member, decreased by the cash or Value of property distributed to such Member (giving net effect to any liabilities the property is subject to, or which the Member assumes), and otherwise maintained consistent with this Agreement. In the event that the Administrator 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 Administrator shall, subject to Board Approval, make such modifications and

promptly inform the Members of each such modification. Capital Accounts shall be maintained in a manner consistent with applicable Treasury Regulations.

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

Section 4.2 General Allocations. Profit or Loss shall be allocated among the Members as provided by this Section 4.2.

(a) Loss shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their Capital Account balances. Profit shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with the Members’ Capital Account balances.

(b) The provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Section and such Treasury Regulations, including but not limited the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704- 2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4) and the “qualified income offset” requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

Section 4.3 Changes of Interests. For purposes of allocating Profit or Loss for any fiscal year or other fiscal period between any permitted transferor and transferee of a Company interest, or 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 approved by the Partnership Representative. Distributions with respect to an interest in the Company shall be payable to the owner of such interest on the date of distribution subject to the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of determining the Profit or Loss allocable to or the distributions payable to a permitted transferee of an interest in the Company or to a Member whose interest has otherwise increased or decreased, Profit or Loss allocations and distributions made to predecessor owners with respect to such transferred interest or increase of interest shall be deemed allocated and made to the permitted transferee or other holder.

Section 4.4 Income Taxes and Tax Capital Accounts.

(a) The Company shall be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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

(c) Income, gains, losses and deductions with respect to any property (other than cash) contributed or deemed contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its value at the time of the contribution or deemed contribution in accordance with Section 704(c) of the

Code and the Treasury Regulations. Such allocations shall be made in such manner and utilizing such permissible tax elections as determined by the Board.

If there is a revaluation of the property of the Company, subsequent allocations of income, gains, losses or deductions with respect to such property shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its value in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Such allocations shall be made in such manner and utilizing such permissible tax elections as determined by the Board.

(d) The Company may specially allocate items of ordinary income or loss or capital gain (including short-term capital gain) or loss to a Member withdrawing all or part of its Capital Account pursuant to this Agreement insofar as is possible to reduce the difference, if any, between the aggregate amounts allocated to such Member’s Capital Account and the aggregate amount of tax items allocated to such Member. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall, in determining an equitable method of allocation of tax items, take into account the allocations of Profit and Loss, any special allocations and the differences between amounts allocated to the Capital Accounts and the aggregate amounts of tax items allocated to the Members, and may determine that an equitable method of allocation includes, without limitation, an allocation pro rata based upon the relative differences between amounts allocated to the Capital Accounts and the aggregate amounts of tax items allocated to the relevant Members.

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for federal, state and local tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or allocable share of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (or items thereof).

(a) Subject to Section 3.2 and Section 5.1(b), amounts received by the Company pursuant to Priority of Payments under the Loan and Security Agreement (collectively “Investment Proceeds”) shall, to the extent permitted by the Loan and Security Agreement, be used by the Company in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to pay any and all taxes of whatever nature owed directly or indirectly by the Company;

(ii) Second, to pay Expenses of the Company and/or to make Permitted Capital Contributions to SLP I and/or SLP II to pay Expenses of such entity or entities;

(v) Fifth, with Board Approval, to the Members as distributions in respect of their interests in the Company in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances.

(b) The amount of any distributions of Investment Proceeds may be reduced and/or reinvested as provided by Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, including, without limitation, for the purpose of reinvesting proceeds received from Investments as set forth in Section 5.3.

(c) To the extent of available cash and cash equivalents following the payment of clauses (i) through (ii) of Section 5.1(a) and if permitted by the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company shall make distributions quarterly in an amount equal to the investment company taxable income and net capital gains (each as computed under Subchapter M of the Code) earned in the preceding quarter, shared among the Members in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances. Available cash and cash equivalents shall exclude Reserved Amounts and any amounts, determined with Board Approval, that are likely to be used for Valid Company Purposes in the future.

Section 5.2 Withholding. The Company may withhold from any distribution to any Member any amount which the Company has paid or is obligated to pay in respect of any withholding or other tax or Investor-Related Taxes, including, without limitation, any interest, penalties or additions with respect thereto, imposed on any income of or distributions to such Member, and such withheld amount and any Investor-Related Taxes with respect to a Member shall be considered a distribution, as the case may be, to such Member for purposes hereof. If no payment is then being made to such Member in an amount sufficient to pay the Company’s withholding obligation, or if such Member is no longer a Member, any amount which the Company is obligated to pay shall be deemed an interest-free advance from the Company to such Member or former Member, payable by such Member by withholding from subsequent distributions or, with Board Approval, within ten (10) days after receiving written request for payment from the Company or Administrator.

Section 5.3 Reserves; Re-Investment; Certain Limitations; Distributions in Kind. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions:

(a) The Company may withhold from any distribution a reasonable reserve which the Board determines to be appropriate for working capital of the Company or any Subsidiary or to discharge costs, Expenses, indemnification amounts payable under this Agreement, and liabilities of the Company or a Subsidiary (whether or not accrued or contingent), or otherwise to be in the best interests of the Company or a Subsidiary for any Valid Company Purpose (such reasonable reserve being referred to herein as the “Reserved Amount”). Any part or all of such Reserved Amount that is released from reserve with Board Approval (other than to make payments on account of a purpose for which the reserve was established) shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 5.1 through Section 5.2.

(b) During the Investment Period, the Board may reinvest (or retain for reinvestment) all or a portion of the Investment Proceeds received during the Investment Period to make any Investment approved by the Board that is reasonably expected at the time the amount is retained. To the extent the Company makes a distribution of Investment Proceeds to a Member during the Investment Period or thereafter in accordance with this Section 5.3(b) representing a return of capital, such amount shall be added to the unfunded Capital Commitment of such Member and may be recalled by the Company under Article 3; provided that in no event will a Member’s unfunded Capital Commitment be increased above its aggregate Capital Commitment. After the end of the Investment Period, all or any portion of the Investment Proceeds received by the Company may be used, in the Board’s discretion, for the purposes that Capital Contributions may be called after the Investment Period pursuant to Section 3.1(d).

(c) 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.

(d) No part of any distribution shall be paid to any Member which owes 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 deemed to be distributed to such Member and shall be applied against the past due amounts (including any unpaid interest that has accrued on such past due amounts) until (i) such Member’s Capital Commitment has been paid in full or (ii) all past due installments of such Member’s Capital Contributions required by Article 3 have been paid in full by such Member, and, thereafter, the remaining balance, if any, shall be paid to such Member, without interest.

(e) The Company shall not distribute Investments in kind (excluding cash and cash equivalents) other than with Board Approval. Distributions of loans, securities and of other noncash 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 loan 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 9.4 as of the close of business on the day preceding the distribution, and all other loans, securities and other non-cash assets shall be valued as determined in the last valuation made pursuant to Section 9.4.

(f) Subject to Board Approval, a Member may elect to waive all or any portion of a distribution otherwise payable to such Member at which time the waived amount of the distribution shall be treated as a Capital Contribution by such Member and shall decrease such Member’s unfunded Capital Commitment by the same amount.

ARTICLE 6

MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY

Section 6.1 Management Generally; Approval of Administration Agreement.

(a) The management of the Company and its affairs (including exercising any right, power, privilege or interest of the Company in or with respect to any Subsidiary and Alternative Investment Vehicle) shall be vested in the Board, which shall act as the “manager” of the Company for the purposes of the Act. Unless otherwise provided herein, all consents, approvals, votes, waivers or other decisions to be made by the Members hereunder and under the Administration Agreement shall require Board Approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that any action is required under applicable law to be taken by the Members (including in their capacity as members of the Company), the unanimous vote of all Members will control.

(b) Under the Original Agreement, NMFC was appointed as the managing member of the Company. Effective immediately upon entry into this Agreement, (i) NMFC shall cease to act in the capacity of managing member of the Company and shall instead be a Member of the Company, with its interest reflecting such status (i.e., to the extent its membership interest in the Company was previously designated as a “managing membership interest”, it is hereby designated as a “membership interest”). The Company shall not have a managing member on and after the date hereof.

(c) The Company is entering into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator, pursuant to which certain non-discretionary administrative functions are delegated by the Board to the Administrator, which Administrator may further delegate any such functions to a sub-administrator with Board Approval. The Administrator will not provide any investment advisory services for or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary or Alternative Investment Vehicle. The Administration Agreement is hereby approved by the Members, and shall not require Board Approval for its initial execution and delivery; provided that any amendments thereto shall be subject to Board Approval.

(d) The Company will appoint NMFC as its collateral manager under the Loan and Security Agreement. In such capacity, NMFC will have authority to acquire, administrate and dispose of investments and other assets on behalf of the Company to the extent permitted under this Agreement and the Loan and Security Agreement and to take such other actions as are delegated or assigned to it on behalf of the Borrower under the Transaction Documents. NMFC will not receive compensation for such services but will be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for its out-of-pocket expenses and to customary indemnification from the Company, which the Company shall pay to it subject to the Priority of Payments under the Loan and Security Agreement. In accordance with the Loan and Security Agreement, if certain termination events occur (including a Collateral Manager Default under, and as defined in, the Loan and Security Agreement), the LSA Administrative Agent may remove and replace NMFC with a third party to act as collateral manager, which replacement collateral manager may be entitled to payment of a fee to be paid by the Company subject to the Priority of Payments under the Loan and Security Agreement.

Section 6.2 Composition of the Board.

(a) Subject to Section 2.9, all business and affairs of the Company (including exercising any right, power, privilege or interest of the Company in or with respect to any Subsidiary and Alternative Investment Vehicle) shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. The Members may determine at any time by mutual agreement the number of Board Members to constitute the Board and the authorized number of Board Members may be increased or decreased by unanimous approval of the Members at any time; provided that at all times the Board shall include at least one Board Member who is an Independent Board Member. An “Independent Board Member” shall be a Board Member who is not at such time, and shall not have not been at any time, (i) a manager, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Company or any major creditor, or a manger, officer or employee of any such Affiliate (other than an Independent Board Member or similar position of the Company or an Affiliate) or (ii) the beneficial owner of any limited liability company interests of the Company or any voting, investment or other ownership interests of any Affiliate of the Company or of any major creditor. The term “major creditor” shall mean a financial institution to which the Administrator, the Company, any lender to the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates has outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money in a sum sufficiently large as would reasonably be expected to influence the judgment of the proposed Independent Board Member adversely to the interest of the Company when its interests are adverse to those of the Administrator, the Company, any such lender or any of their Affiliates and successors. The initial number of Board Members shall be three (3), and each Member shall have the right to designate or appoint one (1) initial Board Member, and the Members may designate and appoint by mutual agreement the initial Independent Board Member; provided, that, in recognition of the SkyKnight Transfer, the initial Board Members shall be appointed by the then Members of the Company after the effectiveness of the SkyKnight Transfer. Subject to the proviso in the previous sentence, at all times, the Board shall have equal

representation between the Members. Each Board Member designated or appointed by a Member (or the Members, as applicable) shall hold office until a successor is designated or appointed or until such Board Member’s earlier death, resignation, expulsion or removal. No resignation or removal of an Independent Board Member, and no appointment of a successor Independent Board Member, shall be effective until such successor shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Board Member by a written instrument and shall have signed this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b). In the event of any vacancy in the Board, the Members may designate and appoint by mutual agreement a replacement board member to fill such vacancy and in the event of a vacancy in the position of Independent Board Member, the Members shall, as soon as practicable, designate and appoint a successor Independent Board Member. The Independent Board Member shall have a single vote solely in connection with any Material Action, and the Non-Independent Board Members designated and appointed by each Member (or the Members, as applicable) collectively shall have a single vote on all matters. Each Non-Independent Board Member must be an officer or employee of a Member.

(b) Subject to Section 2.9, the Board shall have the power to do any and all acts necessary, convenient or incidental to or for the furtherance of the purposes described herein, including all powers, statutory or otherwise, and the Board has the authority to bind the Company.

(c) In addition to any Board Members designated or appointed by the Members pursuant to Section 6.2(a), each Member shall have the right to designate one (1) Board Observer from time to time, who shall be entitled to receive notice of and attend any meetings of the Board, and to receive any written or electronic materials distributed to Board Members generally, but shall have no voting rights. For the avoidance of doubt, Board Observers shall have no rights or privileges other than as expressly set forth in this Section 6.2(c), including any authority, either express or implied, to act on behalf of or otherwise bind the Company, and shall not be considered Board Members for any purpose hereunder.

Section 6.3 Meetings of the Board. The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, within or outside the State of Delaware. Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board. Special meetings of the Board may be called by a Board Member on not less than one (1) Business Day’s notice to each Board Member by telephone, facsimile, mail, electronic mail or any other means of electronic communication designated by the Board Member, and special meetings shall be called by a Board Member in like manner and with like notice upon the written request of any one or more of the Board Members. A Board Member may waive notice to the Board Member of a meeting for which purpose a Board Member’s participation in a meeting shall be deemed to waive notice of the meeting if notice was not provided pursuant to this Section 6.3.

Section 6.4 Quorum; Acts of the Board; Material Actions.

(a) At all meetings of the Board, a quorum requires at least two (2) Board Members; provided that, subject to the proviso regarding the SkyKnight Transfer set forth in Section 6.2(a), at least one (1) Board Member is present that was designated or appointed by each Member. The unanimous approval of all the Board Members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be required to approve any act of or on behalf of the Company, including any act set forth on Schedule B attached hereto; provided, that the Board may approve any act of or on behalf of the Company without a meeting and without a vote if consented to, in writing or by electronic transmission, by Board Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Board Members entitled to

vote thereon were present and voted. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Board Members present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if an equal number of members of the Board designated or appointed by each Member consent thereto by executing the related written consent (including, without limitation, by e-mail), and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board. If, at the time of a meeting of the Board, a Member is a Defaulting Member, a non-defaulting Member may unilaterally elect to (i) waive the requirement that a Board Member designated or appointed by the Defaulting Member be present for purposes of achieving quorum and/or (ii) elect to allow any act of or on behalf of the Company to be taken with unanimous approval of the present Board Members designated or appointed by the non-defaulting Members.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other document governing the formation, management or operation of the Company and notwithstanding any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, the Members, the Board, the Board Members or any other Person, neither the Board, the Board Members nor any other Person shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Company, without the prior unanimous written consent of all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Member (and no such actions shall be taken or authorized unless there is at least one Independent Board Member then serving in such capacity), to take any of the following actions with respect to the Company (each such action, a “Material Action”): (i) institute proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company or to the substantive consolidation of the Company with any Member or Affiliate, (ii) file a petition or consent to a petition seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (iii) seek any relief under any law relating to the relief from debts or the protection of debtors, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) except as required by law, admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (v) commence any action or proceeding for the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof or consent to such proceeding or action, (vi) amend, modify or waive any Special Purpose Provisions or (vii) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing or amend any of the provisions that prohibit acting without the consent of the Independent Board Member or that require the consent of the Independent Board Member to pursue any action.

Section 6.5 Participation in Meetings by Electronic Communications. Members of the Board may participate in meetings of the Board by means of telephone conference, video conference or similar communications equipment that allows all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. If all the participants are participating by telephone conference or similar communications equipment, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the principal place of business of the Company.

Section 6.6 Compensation of Board Members; Expenses. The Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of the Board Members. Non-Independent Board Members shall not receive any compensation for service on the Board. The Board Members may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Board, which may be a reimbursement or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board (in such amount as determined by the Board). No such payment shall preclude any Board Member from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 6.7 Removal of Board Members.

(a) Unless otherwise restricted by law, any Non-Independent Board Member may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Member that designated or appointed such Non-Independent Board Member, and any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion may be filled by an officer or employee of such Member, with the approval of the other Member (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) The Independent Board Member shall only be removed (i) for acts or omissions that constitute willful disregard of, bad faith or gross negligence with respect to, or a breach of such Independent Board Member’s duties under this Agreement, (ii) if such Independent Board Member has engaged in or has been charged with, or has been convicted of, fraud or other acts constituting a crime under any law applicable to such Independent Board Member or acts relating to dishonesty, embezzlement, falsification of records or similar acts of malfeasance, (iii) if such Independent Board Member is unable to perform his or her duties as Independent Board Member due to death, disability or incapacity, (iv) if such Independent Board Member no longer meets the qualifications for an Independent Board Member set forth above or (v) with the consent of each Member (for any or no reason). No resignation or removal of an Independent Board Member, and no appointment of a successor Independent Board Member, shall be effective until such successor shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Board Member by a written instrument and shall have signed this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b).

Section 6.8 Board as Agent. To the extent of its powers set forth in this Agreement, the Board is the manager of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business, and the actions of the Board taken in accordance with such powers set forth in this Agreement shall bind the Company. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 18-402 of the Act, except as provided in this Agreement or in a resolution of the Board, neither a Member nor a Board Member may bind the Company.

Section 6.9 Officers. The officers of the Company shall be designated by the Board. Additional or successor officers of the Company shall be chosen by the Board. Any number of offices may be held by the same person. The salaries, if any, of all officers shall be fixed by or in the manner prescribed by the Board, although initially it is not expected that officers will receive any compensation. The officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are chosen and qualified. Any officer may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the Board. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company shall be filled by the Board.

Section 6.10 Agents. The officers or any other Person designated by the Board as an authorized signatory of the Company, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Board, not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business and the actions of the officers or such Person taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.

Section 6.11 Duties of Board, Board Members and Officers; Disclaimer of Duties.

(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Board, a Board Member or an officer of the Company has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any Member, the Board or such Board Member or officer acting in good faith pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, each Non-Independent Board Member shall be entitled to act in the interests of the Member that elected, designated or appointed them to the Board, and such Non-Independent Board Member shall not, by virtue of such position, be deemed to owe fiduciary or other duties to the Company or to the other Members. Accordingly, each of the Members and the Company hereby disclaims and waives any

and all fiduciary or other duties that, absent such waiver, may be specified or implied by applicable law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Member, Non-Independent Board Member and officer to each other and to the Company are only as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Board, a Non-Independent Board Member or an officer otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members and the Company to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Board or such Board Member or officer.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, and notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the Independent Board Member shall consider only the interests of the Company, including its respective creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Section 6.4(b). Except for duties to the Company as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (including duties to the Members and the Company’s creditors solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in the Company but excluding (i) all other interests of the Members, (ii) the interests of other Affiliates of the Company, and (iii) the interests of any group of Affiliates of which the Company is a part), the Independent Board Member shall not have any fiduciary duties to the Members, any officer of the Company or any other Person bound by this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, an Independent Board Member shall not be liable to the Company, the Members or any other Person bound by this Agreement for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties), unless the Independent Board Member acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct. All right, power and authority of the Independent Board Member shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Independent Board Member, in its capacity as an Independent Board Member, may only act, vote or otherwise participate in those matters referred to in Section 6.4(b) or as otherwise specifically required by this Agreement.

Section 6.12 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any contract, instrument or action on behalf of the Company by (a) a Board Member, or (b) an officer or any other Person delegated by Board Approval, including NMFC acting in its capacity as collateral manager on behalf of the Company and any replacement collateral manager, 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 action on behalf of the Company. This Section 6.12 shall not be deemed to limit the liabilities and obligations of such Person to seek Board Approval as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.13 Allocation of Investment Opportunities. NMFC shall adopt and make available to SkyKnight an investment allocation policy (including any subsequent material amendments thereto) as is typical and customary for such policies; provided, that NMFC’s investment adviser, in lieu of NMFC, may fulfill its obligation under this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14 Indemnification; Exculpation.

(a) Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Section 6.14, each director, manager, officer, representative and agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including NMFC as collateral manager for the Company under the Loan and Security Agreement and any replacement collateral manager), each Board Member (including each Independent Board Member), each Member and their respective employees, directors, managers, officers, owners, principals, shareholders, members, partners, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnified

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 (other than any of the foregoing between the two Members, 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 Indemnified Person (i) is or was a director, manager, officer, representative or agent (as applicable) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, a Board Member, a Member or any of their respective employees, directors, managers, officers, owners, principals, shareholders, members, partners, representatives or agents, and (ii) is or was performing any duty or obligation or exercising any right arising out of or in connection with under this Agreement or the Administration Agreement, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 such applicable law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, judgments, penalties (including, without limitation, excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), losses, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses)) actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (each, a “Harm”), unless such Harm shall have been fully adjudicated to constitute gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, reckless disregard of its duties or intentional misconduct, the breach of any material provision of this Agreement or the Administration Agreement or conduct that is the subject of a criminal proceeding (where the Indemnified Person has a reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful) by the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification hereunder, in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Harm to the extent resulting from such gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, reckless disregard of its duties or intentional misconduct, the breach of any material provision of this Agreement or the Administration Agreement or conduct that is the subject of a criminal proceeding (where the Indemnified Person has a reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). Indemnification under this Section 6.14 shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.14 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 individual entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.14 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 gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, reckless disregard of its duties or intentional misconduct, the breach of any material provision of this Agreement or the Administration Agreement or conduct that is the subject of a criminal proceeding (where such individual had a reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). In addition, any Indemnified Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.14 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 Indemnified Person acted or refrained from acting in good faith in reliance upon the opinion or advice of such counsel and such Indemnified Person provided such counsel all material facts.

(b) The right to indemnification conferred in Section 6.14(a) shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company for the reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person entitled to be indemnified under Section 6.14(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 Indemnified Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Indemnified 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 Indemnified 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 6.14 or otherwise.

(c) The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Section 6.14 shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Member or other Indemnified Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.14 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), other provisions of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or other contractual arrangements.

(d) The indemnification rights provided by this Section 6.14 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of each Indemnified Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.14.

(e) In furtherance of this Section 6.14, the Company acknowledges that certain Indemnified Persons entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.14 may have rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Persons other than the Company (collectively, the “Outside Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it (and any of its insurers) is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to such Indemnified Persons under this Section 6.14 are primary, and any obligation of the Outside Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Persons are secondary), (ii) that the Company (and any of its insurers) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement (or any other agreement between the Company and such Indemnified Persons), without regard to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have against the respective Outside Indemnitors, and (iii) that the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Outside Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Outside Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Outside Indemnitors on behalf of any such Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Person has sought indemnification from the Company (or any of its insurers) shall affect the foregoing, and the Outside Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of any such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person against the Company (and any of its insurers). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Member or any Indemnified Person who is such Member’s employee, director, manager, officer, owner, principal, shareholder, member, partner, representative or agent has received indemnification or advancement of expenses for a Harm from an Outside Indemnitor, the Members agree that such Member shall return (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause any such Indemnified Person to return) any indemnification or advancement of expenses received from the Company (or any of its insurers) with respect to the same Harm. The Company agrees that the Outside Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 6.14(e).

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amounts payable by the Company as a result of the indemnification set forth herein shall only be payable to the extent amounts are available therefor pursuant to the Priority of Payments under the Loan and Security Agreement and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not constitute a claim against the Company in the

event that the Company’s cash flow is insufficient to pay all its obligations to the LSA Lenders and other Secured Parties under, and as defined in, the Loan and Security Agreement.

Section 6.15 Partnership Representative. NMFC (or such Person as may be designated by NMFC in its sole discretion) shall be designated, in the manner prescribed by applicable law, as the partnership representative authorized to act on behalf of the Company in respect of Company audits (NMFC and/or such other Person, the “Partnership Representative”). The provisions of Section 6.14 shall apply to all actions taken on behalf of the Members by the Partnership Representative in its capacity as such. The Partnership Representative shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the Partnership Representative of the Company. The Partnership Representative shall have the authority to make, or cause to be made, all relevant decisions and elections, including an election under Section 6226 of the Code and any similar elections under state or local law. The Partnership Representative 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 Partnership Representative on behalf of the Company as Partnership Representative shall be reimbursed by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership Representative shall not take any action prior to Board Approval for same being obtained.

ARTICLE 7

TRANSFERS OF COMPANY INTERESTS; WITHDRAWALS

Section 7.1 Transfers by Members.

(a) No Member shall transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise hypothecate its interest without Board Approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition, if a Member is excepted from the definition of an “investment company” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act) pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) thereof, such Member shall not permit any investor in such Member to transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise hypothecate such investor’s interest in such Member without Board Approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of any Facility, each Member may pledge, assign or hypothecate its interest to senior credit facility provider for such Member in compliance with all applicable securities laws with prior written notice to each other Member. In addition, other than in accordance with the preceding sentence, the interest of a Member may not be assigned without first offering the other Member a right of first refusal to purchase the interest as set forth in Section 7.1(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained herein to the contrary, without Board Approval or the offering of such right of first refusal, each of SkyKnight I, SkyKnight III and NMFC, in its capacity as an initial Member of the Company, may assign its entire interest to an Affiliate of such Member (which may be reassigned in whole but not in part to one or more additional Affiliates of such Member) with prior written notice to each other Member, if SkyKnight I, SkyKnight III or NMFC (as applicable), in their capacity as the assignor, remains liable for its Capital Commitment. No assignment by a Member shall be binding upon the Company until the Company receives an executed copy of such assignment, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Member, and any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1(e) and 7.1(g).

(b) Any Person which acquires a Company interest by assignment in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be admitted as a substitute Member only upon approval of the non-transferring Member. The admission of an assignee as a substitute Member shall be conditioned upon the assignee’s written assumption, in form and substance satisfactory to

the other Member, of all obligations of the assignor in respect of the assigned interest and execution of an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the other Member whereby such assignee becomes a party to this Agreement.

(c) In the event any Member shall be adjudicated as bankrupt, or in the event of the winding-up or liquidation of a Member, the legal representative of such Member shall, upon written notice to the other Member of the happening of any of such events and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1(e) and 7.1(g), become an assignee of such Member’s interest, subject to all of the terms of this Agreement as then in effect.

(d) Any assignee of the interest of a Member, irrespective of whether such assignee has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of such assignment to have agreed to be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as its assignor.

(e) As additional conditions to the validity of any assignment of a Member’s interest, such assignment shall not:

(i) cause the securities issued by the Company to be required to be registered under the registration provisions of the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction;

(ii) cause the Company to cease to be entitled to the exemption from the definition of an “investment company” pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;

(iii) unless the other Member waives in writing the application of this clause (iii) with respect to such assignment (which the other Member may refuse to do in its absolute discretion), be to a Person which is an ERISA Plan;

(iv) cause the Company or the other Member to be in violation of, or effect an assignment to a Person that is in violation of, applicable Investor Laws; or

(v) cause the Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal tax purposes.

The non-assigning Member may require reasonable evidence as to the foregoing, including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the non-assigning Member. Any purported assignment as to which the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) are not satisfied shall be void ab initio. An assigning Member shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, in connection with any assignment or proposed assignment.

(f) Subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 7.1(a), each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the other Member or its designee a right of first refusal to purchase all, but not less than all, of any interest in the Company that such assigning Member may propose to assign to another Person, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the prospective assignee. Each Member proposing to make an assignment that is subject to this Section 7.1(f) must deliver a notice to the other Member not later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed closing date of such assignment. Such notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including, without limitation, price and form of consideration) of the

proposed assignment and the identity of the prospective assignee. To exercise its right of first refusal under this Section 7.1(f), the other Member must deliver a notice to the selling Member within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice, stating that it elects to exercise its right of first refusal and, if applicable, providing the identity of any Person(s) (including third parties unaffiliated with the exercising Member) that the non-assigning Member designates as the purchaser(s).

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Member acknowledges and agrees that in the event such Member is entitled to transfer its interest in the Company, prior to the effectiveness of such transfer, such Member shall be obligated to take such actions as are required to satisfy any restrictions on such transfer under any Facility (e.g., funding such Capital Contributions as may be required under the terms of a Facility as a result of such transfer; provided that in no event shall any amounts funded by such Member exceed the remaining amount of its uncalled Capital Commitment).

Section 7.2 Withdrawal by Members. Members may withdraw from the Company only with Board Approval.

ARTICLE 8

TERM, DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF COMPANY

Section 8.1 Term. Except as provided in Section 8.2, the Company shall continue until two (2) years after the end of the Investment Period.

Section 8.2 Dissolution.

(a) Subject to Section 8.2(b), the Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the occurrence of the earliest of:

(i) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining Member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining Member of the Company in the Company, unless the Company is continued without dissolution in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act;

(ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Act; and

(iii) the distribution of all assets of the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other document governing the formation, management or operation of the Company, for so long as any obligation under the Loan and Security Agreement is outstanding, neither the Members nor the Company shall amend, alter or change any of Sections 2.4, 2.9, 3.1, 3.2, 5.3(c), 6.2(a), 6.4(b), 6.7(b), 6.11(b), 6.14(f), 8.2(b), this Section 10.10 or Article 1 of this Agreement (to the extent that the terms defined in Article 1 are used in any of the foregoing sections) (the “Special Purpose Provisions”), or any other provisions of this or any other document governing the formation, management or operation of the Company in a manner that is inconsistent with any of the Special Purpose Provisions, unless the LSA Administrative Agent consents in advance and in writing and such action has been approved by the prior unanimous written consent of all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Member (and no such actions shall be taken or authorized unless there is at least one Independent Board Member then serving in such capacity). The Special Purpose Provisions shall restrict all Subsidiaries and Alternative Investment Vehicles to the same extent such provisions restrict the Company.

Section 10.11 Legal Counsel. The Company has engaged ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (“Company Counsel”) as legal counsel to the Company. Company Counsel has previously represented and/or concurrently represents the interests of the Company, NMFC, SkyKnight and/or parties related thereto in connection with matters other than the preparation of this Agreement and may represent such Persons in the future. Each Member: (a) approves Company Counsel’s representation of the Company and SkyKnight in the preparation of this Agreement; and (b) acknowledges that Company Counsel has not been engaged by any other Member to protect or represent the interests of such Member vis-a-vis the Company or the preparation of this Agreement, and that actual or potential conflicts of interest may exist among the Members in connection with the preparation of this Agreement. In addition, each Member: (i) acknowledges the possibility of a future conflict or dispute among Members or between any Member or Members and the Company or the Administrator; and (ii) acknowledges the possibility that, under the laws and ethical rules governing the conduct of attorneys, Company Counsel may be precluded from representing the Company, NMFC and/or SkyKnight (or any equity holder thereof) in connection with any such conflict or dispute. Nothing in this Section 10.11 shall preclude the Company from selecting different legal counsel to represent it at any time in the future and no Member shall be deemed by virtue of this Section 10.11 to have waived its right to object to any conflict of interest relating to matters other than this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 10.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement binding on all Members.

Section 10.13 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that this provision shall not be construed to permit any assignment or transfer which is otherwise prohibited hereby.

Section 10.14 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or any application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and all other applications thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

In computing any period of time under this Agreement, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday on which banks in New York, Delaware or Maryland are closed, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such a legal holiday.
