accordance with the provisions hereof.
3.2 Initial Closing Date; Admission Of Additional Members.
(a) As of the Effective Date, the Managing Member and the Initial Non-
Managing Member were the sole members of the Company. Additional persons may be admitted as
Members, and existing Members may increase their Capital Commitment to the Company (in each
case, a "later-admitted Mond) at one or more closings (each, a "Cksing') only with the consent of
both the Managing Member and the Initial Non-Managing Member.
(b) Any later-admitted Member may be required to make a Capital
Contribution of up to such later-admitted Member's pro rata share, based on the Members' respective
Capital Commitments, of all Capital Contributions made by earlier-admitted Members (taking into
account the Capital Commitments of other later-admitted Members admitted at the applicable
Closing and any distributions made to the earlier-admitted Members) ("Catch-Up Contributions").
Catch-Up Contributions may (in the Managing Member's discretion) be retained by the Fund, or
distributed (in whole or in pan) to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. Catch-
Up Contributions distributed to Members shall be added back to their respective Unfunded Capital
Commitments and be subject to recall by the Managing Member pursuant to Article IV.

the Initial Closing Date. The Managing Member shall adjust the Percentage Interests of the
Members as necessary to take into account Capital Commitments from later-admitted Members.
(d) Each additional person admitted as a Member shall execute and deliver to
the Company any document(s) deemed appropriate by the Managing Member, including a

ARTICLE IV
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, AM) NONCONTRIBUTING MEMBERS
4.1 Capital Contributions Of The Members.
(a) The Managing Member may require each Member to make one or more
Capital Contributions in an amount equal to all or any portion of such Member's Unfunded Capital
Commitment by providing a written notice to such Member pursuant to Section 4.1(b) (a "Capita/
Call') prior to the date on which such Capital Contribution shall be due (the "Ca!/ Date"). All Capital
Contributions must be submitted by wire transfer or check in the form of cash; provided that the
Managing Member may permit Members to contribute Crypto Currencies or other non-cash assets in
the Managing Member's discretion. The Managing Member shall determine the value of any non-
cash assets contributed in accordance with Section 12.1 as of the applicable Call Date; provided, that
the value of any non-cash assets contributed by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 4.2 shall
be determined in accordance with that section. The Company may assess a special charge against the
Member contributing non-cash assets equal to the actual costs the Company incurs in connection
with accepting such assets, including the costs of liquidating those assets, adjusting the Company's
portfolio to accommodate them, or performing special tax-related accounting functions. Any such
special charge may be assessed as of the Call Date on which the assets are contributed or as of the
end of the Period in which the Company incurred them. Such special charge shall not be treated as a
Capital Contribution and shall not reduce the contributing Member's Unfunded Capital
Commitment. Each Member's Capital Commitment may be used for all Company purposes
permitted herein. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c) below, no Capital Calls shall be
issued after the expiration of the Investment Period.
(b) A Capital Call shall be in the form of a written notice given to all Members
in any manner permitted by Section 13.10 at least 10 Business Days before the Call Date, provided,
that such prior written notice shall not be required in connection with any Capital Contribution to be
made at a Closing. A Capital Call shall specify, the dollar amount required to be contributed by the
relevant Member, and the Call Date, and each Member shall be required to make a Capital
Contribution in the amount specified on that Call Date. The Managing Member may amend, delay
or rescind Capital Calls at any time prior to the relevant Call Date. The amendment, delay or
rescission of a Capital Call shall not affect or abridge the right of the Managing Member to issue any
subsequent Capital Call. The Managing Member will generally be entitled to determine each
Member's share of each Capital Call in its discretion; provided, that (for the avoidance of doubt, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement) no Member will be required
to contribute more than his, her or its Unfunded Capital Commitment in response to any Capital
Call. In addition, the Managing Member generally intends to "normalize" the Members' Capital
Contributions so that the aggregate amount of capital contributed by the Members over the
Investment Period will be in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests by the end of the
Investment Period. Accordingly, any Member who, as of any Call Date, has contributed aggregate
amounts in excess of his, her or its Percentage Interest of all Capital Contributions previously made
by the Members may be excused (by the Managing Member, in its discretion) from making additional
Capital Contributions until that excess is eliminated; similarly, any Member who has contributed less

than his, her or its Percentage Interest of all such Capital Contributions may be required to make
Capital Contributions in excess of his, her or its Percentage Interest until that shortfall is eliminated.
(c) During the Harvesting Period, the Managing Member may only issue
Capital Calls for the purpose of: (i) paying ongoing Organizational Expenses, Company Expenses
and liabilities (or the establishment of reserves for such amounts); (ii) making investments that are in
process as of the end of the Investment Period; (iii) making follow-on investments in existing
Portfolio Investments; or (iv) enabling the Company to acquire a Defaulting Member's Interest
pursuant to Section 4.2(b) below.
4.2 Co-investment with Para/lel Fund. For so long as the Investment Period and
Harvesting Period coincide with the investment period and harvesting period of the Parallel Fund,
respectively, the Managing Member will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company
to make Portfolio Investments, and to dispose of Portfolio Investments, contemporaneously and on
part pasta terms with the Parallel Fund (with the understanding that the Company and the Parallel
Fund will, to the extent practicable, participate in each such Portfolio Investment pro rata based on
their available capital at the time of investment, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member).
4.3 Noncontributing Members.
(a) The Company shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Member
to make cash contributions up to the total amount of such Member's Capital Commitment and to
pay back distributions as required herein, and the Company shall have all remedies available at law or
in equity in the event any such contribution or payment is not so made, including the right for the
Company to apply proceeds that otherwise would be distributed to a noncontributing Member
toward any delinquent contributions or required return of distributions (the "Wendt Amount'), or any
costs or expenses described below. The Members agree that the Company's choice of remedies,
including the remedies set forth in Sections 4.3(b) and 4.3(d) below, shall be at the Managing
Member's sole discretion and shall be binding upon the other Members and the Company without
any liability to the Managing Member. A noncontributing Member may, at the Managing Member's
discretion, be required to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing such
Member's contribution obligation, including attorneys' fees. Amounts so paid pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall not be treated as Capital Contributions and shall not reduce the
noncontributing Member's Unfunded Capital Commitment.
(b) Without limiting any right of the Company pursuant to Section 4.3(a)
above, if any Member fails to make any of the contributions or payments when due, the Managing
Member may, at its option, declare the Member to be in default (such event, an "Event of Default' and
such Member, a "Defaulting Member"). The Managing Member shall provide such Defaulting Member
notice of its default, which may give rise to the consequences set forth in this Section 4.3(b) and
Section 4.3(d). In such case, the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, may elect one or more of
the following remedies (or any combination thereof):
(i) cause the Defaulting Member to forfeit its right to participate in
any Portfolio Investments made after the Event of Default•,
cause the Defaulting Member to transfer all of its Interest to one or
more Non-Defaulting Members selected by the Managing Member, which have agreed to purchase
such Interest, effective immediately, at a transfer price equal to the lesser of (A) 50% of such
Defaulting Member's Capital Account or (B) 50% of the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting
Member's Interest, determined by the Managing Member in accordance with Section 12.1. In such
case, the Defaulting Member shall be treated as having no further Interest, and shall no longer be a
Member;

cause the Defaulting Member to sell all of its Interest to one or
more third parties at a price determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion to be fair and
reasonable under the circumstances (which determination shall be final and binding on the
Defaulting Member). Such Person or Persons shall, after executing such instruments and delivering
such opinions and other documents as are in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing
Member, be admitted to the Company as a substituted Member or Members with respect to such
Interest, and shown as such on the books and records of the Company. In the case of a forced sale
pursuant to this Section 4.3(b)(iii), the Defaulting Member shall be entitled to receive 50% of the
proceeds of such forced sale, after deduction for any expenses incurred by the Company resulting
from its default, and the Company shall be entitled to receive the remaining portion of such proceeds
for distribution to the Non-Defaulting Members in a fair and equitable manner as determined in
good faith by the Managing Member. After giving effect to any forced sale pursuant to this
Section 4.3(b)(iii), the Defaulting Member shall be treated as having no further Interest, and shall
no longer be a Member; and/or
(iv) cause the Defaulting Member to (x) forfeit up to 50% of its Capital
Account balance and (y) limit any future distributions of Current Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds
to the Defaulting Member to amounts attributable to that reduced Capital Account balance and any
future Capital Contributions. The amount of the Capital Account balance forfeited (and the right to
future distribution of Capital Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds attributable thereto) shall be
reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
If the Managing Member exercises its remedies under this Section 4.3(b)(iv) in respect of an Event
of Default, the Defaulting Member shall not be relieved of its obligation to make Capital
Contributions subsequent to such Event of Default.
(c) Any distribution or payment to a Defaulting Member pursuant to
Section 4.3(b) may, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, be made in cash, in the form of
a promissory note of the Company (bearing no interest), or any combination thereof.
(d) At any time after an Event of Default, the Managing Member may, in its
sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions with respect to the Default Amount•.
(i) cause the Members to make additional Capital Contributions (not
in excess of their Unfunded Capital Commitment) in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests to fund the Default Amount•,
cause the Company to borrow funds to cover the Default Amount
(including from the Managing Member);
Oil) increase its own Capital Contribution to fund the Default Amount;
or
(iv) institute proceedings on behalf of the Company to recover the
Default Amount, in which case the Defaulting Member shall be liable for all costs and expenses
incurred by the Company in enforcing such the Default Amount, including attorneys fees.
(e) If the Managing Member elects to take the action specified in
Section 4.3(d)(i), the Managing Member shall make an additional Capital Call in accordance with
Section 4.1 to the Non-Defaulting Members.
(1) Each Member hereby agrees that the charging of expenses to a Defaulting
Member and/or the buy-out or transfer of a Defaulting Member's Capital Account pursuant to the

above provisions of this Section 4.3 represent liquidated and agreed upon current damages to the
Non-Defaulting Members for the default (it being agreed that it would be difficult to fix the actual
damages to the Non-Defaulting Members). Each Member further agrees that the aforesaid
liquidated damages provision constitutes reasonable compensation to the Company and its Non-
Defaulting Members for the additional risks and damages sustained by them when and if any
Member shall default on an obligation to pay any Capital Contribution when due.
4.4 Barbi Termination of the Investment Period. The Managing Member at any time
may terminate the Investment Period if, in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member,
changes in applicable law, regulation, case law, judicial or administrative order or decree or
governmental license or permit, or any interpretation thereof by any governmental or regulatory
authority or court of competent jurisdiction, or in business conditions, make such termination
necessary or advisable in the interests of the Company or any of the Members.
ARTICLE V

Section 5.2 and any items of income or gain that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.3 or
otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Member

provided for in the preceding sentence, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted and
maintained in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(v), as the
same may be amended or revised, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted

material adverse effect on the economic interests of the Members. Any references in any section of
this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member shall be deemed to refer to such Capital
Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the event
of any transfer of any Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall
succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Interest.
(b) Except as may arise solely by reason of the operation of Section 13.6(b),
no Member shall be required to pay to the Company or to any other Member the amount of any
negative balance that may exist from time to time in such Member's Capital Account, including at the
time of liquidation of the Company.
5.2 Allocation of Profit and Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss and deduction)
for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital
Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocation and after taking into account
amounts specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.3 or any other provision of this Agreement, is, as
nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made to such
Member pursuant to Section 7.5 if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets
sold for cash equal to their Adjusted Asset Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with
respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Adjusted Asset Value of the assets securing such liability),

and the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 7.5 to the Members
immediately after making such allocation, mimes 00 such Member's share of Company Minimum
Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the
hypothetical sale of assets. The Managing Member shall be entitled to adjust the allocations of Profits
and Losses (and items thereof) to take into account any of the economic provisions of this
Agreement, including the timing and amount of actual distributions to the Members; provided, &mem
that any such adjustment shall not affect the amount distributable to a Member pursuant to this
Agreement.
5.3 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allocations provided in
this Article V shall be subject to the following exceptions:
(a) Minimum Gain Chmgeback. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Article V, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations

allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an
amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant
to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2® and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(0. This Section 5.3(a) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations
Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be
required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-20) and
1.704-2(i)(4).
(b) Quabfied Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such
Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in his Capital Account
created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible. This
Section 5.3(b) is intended to comply with the "qualified income offset" requirement in such
Regulation section shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital
Account at the end of any Fiscal Period that is in excess of the sum of: (i) the amount such Member

items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided,
however that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a
Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Section 5.3(c) have been tentatively made as if Section 5.3(b) and this
Section 5.3(c) were not in this Agreement.

Curative Allocations. If any special allocations are made under
Sections 5.3(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) (the "Regulate°, Allocations') the Managing Member may take
such Regulatory Allocations into account in making subsequent allocations of Profits or Losses (or
items thereof), and may make such further special allocations as may be necessary or appropriate so
as to prevent such Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Company
distributions will be divided among the Members pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) Managing Member Expenses. To the extent, if any, that Managing Member
Expenses and any items of loss, expense or deduction resulting therefrom are deemed to constitute
items of Company loss or deduction rather than items of loss or deduction of the Managing

allocated 100% to the Managing Member.
(h) Psyee Allocation. In the event any payment to any person that is treated by
the Company as the payment of an expense is recharacterized by a taxing authority as a Company
distribution to the payee as a partner, such payee shall be specially allocated an amount of Company
