Section 3.01 Units. Equity ownership in the Company shall be divided into Units as described in this Agreement. There shall initially be one Class of Units in the Company, Common Units issued and outstanding. The Common Units shall carry the rights, privileges, and burdens in the Company as outlined in this Agreement and, where applicable, the Delaware Act. A single Person may hold more than one Class of Units and when referred to in its capacity as the holder of a specific Class of Units such Person shall be treated as a separate Member with respect to the applicable Class of Units, as applicable.

Section 3.02 Capital Contributions. As of the Effective Date, each Member has made an initial Capital Contribution and is deemed to own Units in the Class and number set forth opposite such Member's name under Initial Capital Contribution (the "Initial Capital Contribution") on Schedule A attached hereto (the "Members Schedule"); [**]. Each of the

GECC Member and the Green Member agrees, upon no less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to each Member by the Administrative Agent, to fund its pro rata share (based on each Member's Percentage Interest) of any additional Capital Contributions that may be requested by the Board for the purpose of making an investment that satisfies the investment criteria set forth in Section 7.01(b)(i); provided that in no event shall the aggregate Capital Contributions of any Member (including such Member's Initial Capital Contribution) exceed the Total Commitment (the "Total Commitment") set forth opposite such Member's name on Schedule A hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent shall maintain and update the Members Schedule upon the issuance or Transfer of any Units to any new or existing Member in accordance with this Agreement or the issuance of new Units or Classes of Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.03 Maintenance of Capital Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain for each Member a separate capital account (a "Capital Account") on its books and records in accordance with this Section 3.03. Each Capital Account shall be established and maintained in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Each Member's Capital Account shall be increased by the amount of:

(i) such Member's Capital Contributions, including such Member's initial Capital Contribution;

(ii) any Net Income or other item of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Article V; and

(iii) any liabilities of the Company that are assumed by such Member or secured by any property distributed to such Member.

(b) Each Member's Capital Account shall be decreased by:

(i) the cash amount or Book Value of any property distributed to such Member pursuant to Article VI and Section 12.03(c);

(ii) the amount of any Net Loss or other item of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Article V; and

(iii) the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or that are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.

Section 3.04 Succession Upon Transfer. In the event that any Units are Transferred 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 Units and, subject to Section 5.04, shall receive allocations and distributions pursuant to Article V, Article VI and Article XII in respect of such Units.

Section 3.05 Negative Capital Accounts. In the event that any Member shall have a deficit balance in its Capital Account, such Member shall have no obligation, during the term of

the Company or upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to restore such negative balance or make any Capital Contributions to the Company by reason thereof, except as may be required by Applicable Law or in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.

Section 3.06 No Withdrawals From Capital Accounts. No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Company, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. No Member shall receive any interest, salary, management or service fees or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Capital Accounts are maintained for the sole purpose of allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members and shall have no effect on the amount of any distributions to any Members, in liquidation or otherwise.

Section 3.07 Modifications. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases to the Capital Accounts, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Board may authorize such modifications without the consent of any Member.

Section 3.08 Defaulting Members.

(a) Upon the failure of any Member (a "Defaulting Member") to pay in full any portion of such Member's Capital Contribution by the last day of the five-day (or other longer) period specified in the written notice from the Administrative Agent (or any Person with the power and authority to call Capital Contributions) pursuant to Section 3.02 and such failure is continuing on the second day following demand by the Administrative Agent for cure of such default (the "Default Date") such that such payment remains overdue, the other Member, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to pursue one or more of the following remedies on behalf of the Company if such failure has not been cured in full within such specified 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) Upon thirty (30) days' written notice (which period may commence during the demand notice period provided above), and provided that the overdue payment has not been made, dissolve and wind down the Company in accordance with Article XII; and

(iii) Upon thirty (30) days' written notice (which period may commence during the demand notice period provided above) and if such failure has not been cured in full within such thirty-day period, compel the Defaulting Member to transfer all of a portion of its interest in whole or in part subject to the following:

(A) If the non-Defaulting Member notifies the Defaulting Member to transfer all of a part of its interest, such Defaulting Member shall do so within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such thirty-day period; provided, however, that the non-Defaulting Member must consent, in its sole discretion, to such transfer and such transfer must otherwise be in accordance with Section 8.01.

(B) Upon any failure of the Defaulting Member, for any reason, to transfer all or part of its interests that are required to be sold within such sixty (60) day period, the non-Defaulting Member may purchase such interest or direct the transfer of such interest to a third party or, subject to applicable law, to an Affiliate of the non-Defaulting Member or the Company. The price for such transfer shall be not less than the minimum cash purchase price for the Defaulting Member's interest in the Company as determined by an independent valuation firm selected by the non-Defaulting Member for a hypothetical sale of such interest to an unaffiliated third party willing to purchase such interest within a ninety (90) day time period; provided, however, that if no such buyer is found within such ninety (90) day period to purchase the Defaulting Member's interest at such minimum price or a higher price, then the non-Defaulting Member may direct the transfer of the Defaulting Member's interest at a price and subject to such terms and conditions as the non-Defaulting Member deems commercially reasonable in its good faith judgment and sole discretion, which terms and conditions may include the acceptance by the Defaulting Member of a promissory note issued by the purchaser thereof.

(C) To the extent any amounts are owed by a Defaulting Member to the non- Defaulting Member with respect to a Default Loan (as defined below), any purchase price that would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Member under this Section 3.08(a)(iii)(C) shall instead first be paid to the non-Defaulting Member pursuant to the terms of Section 3.08(b)(iii) until each such Default Loan (and accrued interest thereon) has been repaid in full with the remainder of such purchase price, if any, payable to the Defaulting Member.

Except as set forth below, the non-Defaulting Member's election to pursue any one of such remedies shall not be deemed to preclude such Member 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 not be entitled to distributions made after the Default Date until the default is cured and any such distributions to which such Defaulting Member would otherwise have been entitled if such default had not occurred shall be credited against the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Member so as to reduce the remaining amount of the default;

(ii) the Company shall not seek Capital Contributions from Members after the Default Date until the default is cured except for the purposes of (i) making protective investments (including making protective advances and/or exchanges), which may require capital commitments and ongoing obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) making, at the Members' election, Capital Contributions to avoid or cure any borrowing base deficiency, default, event of default, potential termination event or termination event relating to any indebtedness incurred by the Company or a Subsidiary and repaying such indebtedness, or (iii) paying Company expenses and such other costs and expenses as set forth herein; and

(iii) the non-Defaulting Member, in its sole discretion, may elect to fund all or any portion of the defaulted amount on behalf of the Defaulting Member or recall its own Capital Contribution with notice to the Defaulting Member, if applicable. The Members agree and acknowledge that any amount funded by the non-Defaulting Member pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be treated as a loan from the non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member (a "Default Loan"), the proceeds of which are used by the Defaulting Member to make a Capital Contribution to the Company which, if in a sufficient amount, may cure a related default by such Defaulting Member. A Default Loan shall (A) bear interest from the date of such funding until repaid by the Defaulting Member at a rate equal to the lower of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, (B) be pre-payable by the Defaulting Member at any time and (C) be fully recourse to the Defaulting Member. Until such time that any Default Loan (including any accrued interest thereon) has been fully repaid, (x) any amounts that would otherwise be distributable to the Defaulting Member under Section 6.01 shall instead be distributed to the non-Defaulting Member and (y) any purchase price payable to the Defaulting Member in connection with any sale of its interests in the Company shall first be payable to the non-Defaulting Members until the repayment in full of the Default Loan (including any accrued interest thereon) proportionate to the amount of Default Loan so extended by the non-Defaulting Member to such Defaulting Member. Any amounts distributed to the non-Defaulting Member pursuant to the previous sentence shall be treated as for all purposes of this Agreement and for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes as having been made by the Company to the Defaulting Member notwithstanding the Company's distribution of such amounts to the non-Defaulting Member and any amounts distributed or payable to the non-Defaulting Member pursuant to the previous sentence shall reduce the amounts owed to the non-Defaulting Member under the related Default Loan, first as to interest and then as to principal.

Section 4.01 Admission of New Members.

(a) New Members may be admitted from time to time (i) in connection with the issuance of Units by the Company as approved by the Board and (ii) in connection with a Transfer of Units (including to an Affiliate of a Member), subject to compliance with the

provisions of Article VIII, and in either case, following compliance with the provisions of Section 4.01(b).

(b) In order for any Person not already a Member of the Company to be admitted as a Member, whether pursuant to an issuance or Transfer of Units, such Person shall have executed and delivered to the Company a written undertaking substantially in the form of the Joinder Agreement, whereby such Person agrees to be treated as (i) the GECC Member, if such Person acquires Units from the GECC Member or (ii) a Green Member, if such Person acquires Units from the Green Member, and whereupon, in each case, such Person shall be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the GECC Member or the Green Member, as the case may be. Upon the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, including, as applicable, the receipt by the Company of payment for the issuance of Units, such Person shall be admitted as a Member and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Company. The Administrative Agent shall adjust the Members Schedule in connection with any such admission and shall also adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members as necessary in accordance with Section 3.03.

Section 4.02 No Personal Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act, by Applicable Law or expressly in this Agreement, no Member will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or other Members, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Member.

Section 4.03 No Withdrawal. So long as a Member continues to hold any Units, such Member shall not have the ability to withdraw or resign as a Member prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company and any such withdrawal or resignation or attempted withdrawal or resignation by a Member prior to the dissolution or winding up of the Company shall be null and void. As soon as any Person who is a Member ceases to hold any Units, such Person shall no longer be a Member. A Member shall not cease to be a Member as a result of the bankruptcy of such Member or as a result of any other events specified in § 18-304 of the Delaware Act.

Section 4.04 Death. The death of any Member shall not cause the dissolution of the Company. In such event, the Company and its business shall be continued by the remaining Member or Members and Units owned by the deceased Member shall automatically be Transferred to such Member's heirs, provided, that within a reasonable time after such Transfer, the applicable heirs shall sign a written undertaking substantially in the form of the Joinder Agreement.

Section 4.05 Power of Members. The Members shall have the power to exercise any and all rights or powers granted to Members pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement and the Delaware Act. Except as otherwise specifically provided by this Agreement or required by the Delaware Act, no Member, in its capacity as a Member, shall have the power to act for or on behalf of, or to bind, the Company.

Section 4.06 No Interest in Company Property. No real or personal property of the Company shall be deemed to be owned by any Member individually, but shall be owned by, and title shall be vested solely in, the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, each Member hereby

irrevocably waives during the term of the Company any right that such Member may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to the property of the Company.

Section 4.07 Unit Certificates.

(a) The Board may, but shall not be required to, issue certificates to the Members representing the Units held by such Member ("Unit Certificates").

(b) If the Board shall issue Unit Certificates in accordance with Section 4.07(a), then in addition to any other legend required by Applicable Law, all Unit Certificates shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND ITS MEMBERS, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT. THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (A) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT AND LAWS, OR (B) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.

Section 4.08 No Conflicting Agreements. Each Member agrees that it shall not enter into any agreements or arrangements of any kind with any Person with respect to any Units or other securities of the Company that prohibit such Member from complying with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (whether or not such agreements or arrangements are with other Members or with third parties).

Section 4.09 Representations. As of the date hereof, each Member makes each of the representations and warranties applicable to such Member in this Section 4.09 and acknowledges and agrees that such representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Agreement:

(a) If such Member is a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, or other legal entity, it is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and has the power and authority to own property and carry on its business as owned and carried on as of the date hereof and as contemplated hereby and such Member is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which the failure to be so licensed or qualified would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement

has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership or company action. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Member.

(b) The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by such Member of the transactions contemplated hereby (i) will not conflict with, violate, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination, or award of any court, any governmental department, board, agency, or instrumentality, or any arbitrator, applicable to such Member, and (ii) will not conflict with, violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of the articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, or other organizational documents of such Member, or of any material agreement or instrument to which such Member is a party or by which such Member is or may be bound or to which any of its material properties or assets are or may be subject.

(c) Any registration, declaration or filing with, or consent, approval, license, permit or other authorization or order by, any Governmental Authority that is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery, acceptance and performance by such Member under this Agreement or the consummation by such Member of any transaction contemplated hereby has been completed, made or obtained on or before the effective date of this Agreement.

(d) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of such Member, threatened against or affecting such Member or any of such Member's properties, assets or businesses in any court or before or by any governmental department, board, agency, instrumentality or arbitrator which, if adversely determined, could (or in the case of an investigation could lead to any action, suit or proceeding which, if adversely determined, could) reasonably be expected to materially impair such Member's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Article V
Allocations

Section 5.01 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. For each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.02, Net Income and Net Loss of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner as to give economic effect, as closely as possible, to the provisions of Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may make such allocations as it deems reasonably necessary to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into account such facts and circumstances it deems reasonably necessary for this purpose.

Section 5.02 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01:

(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary,

subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.02 is intended to comply with the "minimum gain chargeback" requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.02(b) is intended to comply with the "minimum gain chargeback" requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Units.

(d) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 5.02(d) is intended to comply with the "qualified income offset" requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of Net Income and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 5.03 Tax Allocations.

(a) Subject to Section 5.03(b), Section 5.03(c) and Section 5.03(d), all income, gains, losses and deductions of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses and deductions pursuant to Section 5.01 and Section 5.02,

except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other Applicable Law, the Company's subsequent income, gains, losses and deductions shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other Applicable Law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth in Section 5.01 and Section 5.02.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members under any reasonable method in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, as determined by the Board, 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 Book Value; provided that the Board shall obtain the prior written consent of the Green Member and/or the GECC Member, as applicable, if such method could reasonably be expected to result in a disproportionate and adverse effect to such Member.

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value in Section 1.01, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and consistent with the method set forth in Section 5.03(b).

(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.03 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.04 Allocations in Respect of Transferred Units. In the event of a Transfer of Units during any Fiscal Year made in compliance with the provisions of Article VIII, Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company attributable to such Units for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using any method (and employing such conventions) permitted under Section 706 of the Code as may be selected by the Board (including a "closing of the books" or "proration" method); provided that the Board shall obtain the prior written consent of the Green Member and/or the GECC Member, as applicable, if such method could reasonably be expected to result in a disproportionate and adverse effect to such Member.

Article VI
Distributions

Section 6.01 General.

(a) Subject to Section 6.01(b) and Section 6.02, distributions of Distributable Cash (1) other than resulting from any sale of securities, shall be made to the Members on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to substantially all of the Company's net income measured on a U.S. GAAP basis, earned in the preceding quarter as determined by the Board, or such other amount as may be necessary for GECC to maintain its status as a RIC and comply with Section 852 of the Code, shared among the Members as set forth below; provided, that the amount of any such distribution may be reduced and limited as provided by Section 6.03 and Section 6.04, on such dates as may be determined by the Board but not later than five (5) Business Days following the end of such quarter or (2) resulting from any sale of any securities, shall be made to Members within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of proceeds in connection with any sale of any securities. Subject to Section 6.01(b) and after making all distributions required under Section 6.02, Distributable Cash shall be paid to the Members pari passu in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any distribution to Members if such distribution would violate § 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other Applicable Law with respect to the Company.

Section 6.02 Tax Advances.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar-year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute cash to each Member in proportion to and to the extent of such Member's Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter (each such distribution, a "Tax Advance"), subject to there being sufficient Distributable Cash available to make such distribution.

(b) If, at any time after the final Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount has been distributed pursuant to Section 6.02(a) with respect to any Fiscal Year, the aggregate Tax Advances to any Member with respect to such Fiscal Year are less than such Member's Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (a "Shortfall Amount"), then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute cash in proportion to and to the extent of each Member's Shortfall Amount, subject to there being sufficient Distributable Cash available to make such distribution. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute Shortfall Amounts with respect to a Fiscal Year before the 75^th day of the next succeeding Fiscal Year; provided, that if the Company has made distributions other than pursuant to this Section 6.02, the Board may apply such distributions to reduce any Shortfall Amount.

(c) If the aggregate Tax Advances made to any Member pursuant to Section 6.02 for any Fiscal Year exceed such Member's Tax Amount, such excess shall reduce

subsequent Tax Advances that would be made to such Member pursuant to this Section 6.02, except to the extent taken into account as an advance pursuant to Section 6.02(d).

(d) Any distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as advances on distributions pursuant to Section 6.01 and shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 6.01.

Section 6.03 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.

(a) Tax Withholding. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall be reasonably requested by the Board to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.

(b) Withholding Advances. The Company is hereby authorized at all times to make payments on behalf of or with respect to each Member, including pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code, in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as determined by the Partnership Representative based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to any Taxing Authority with respect to any distribution or allocation by the Company of income or gain to such Member ("Withholding Advances") and to withhold the same from distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a distribution by reason of this Section 6.03(b) shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company makes any Withholding Advance in respect of a Member hereunder that is not immediately withheld from actual distributions to the Member, then the Member shall promptly reimburse the Company for the amount of such payment, plus interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate, compounded annually, on such amount from the date of such payment until such amount is repaid (or deducted from a distribution) by the Member (any such payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution). Each Member's reimbursement obligation under this Section 6.03(b) shall continue after such Member transfers its Units.

(c) Indemnification. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties that may be asserted by reason of the Company's failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Member. The provisions of this Section 6.03(c) and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 6.03(b) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Units. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 6.03(c), including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.

(d) Overwithholding. Neither the Company nor the Managers shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member's sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority.

Section 6.04 Distributions in Kind.

(a) The Board is hereby authorized, as it may reasonably determine, to make distributions to the Members in the form of securities or other property held by the Company; provided, that Tax Advances shall only be made in cash. In any non-cash distribution, the securities or property so distributed will be distributed among the Members in the same proportion and priority as cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such securities or property would be distributed among the Members pursuant to Section 6.01.

(b) Any distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Board determines is required or advisable to ensure compliance with Applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board may require that the Members execute and deliver such documents as the Board may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state securities laws that apply to such distribution and any further Transfer of the distributed securities, and may appropriately legend the certificates that represent such securities to reflect any restriction on Transfer with respect to such laws.

Article VII

Section 7.01 Establishment of the Board; Management of the Company.

(a) A board of managers of the 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 7.02. The management of the Company and its business and affairs shall be vested exclusively in the Board; provided, that the Board has delegated the matters set forth in the Administrative Services Agreement to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) invest in a commingled investment vehicle sponsored and managed by [**] with the investment objective of making investments in [**] CLOs (the

(iii) sell investments in [**] CLOs, exercise rights to initiate or approve optional redemptions in [**] CLOs, direct the refinancing or re-pricing of an [**] CLO's liabilities, approve or consent to any modification of the governing documents for any [**] CLO or for the [**] Fund or any other actions typically taken by equity holders in CLOs;

(iv) invest or sell any investments not related to CLOs that do not meet the investment guidelines in Schedule C hereto;

(a) Covered Persons. As used herein, the term "Covered Person" shall mean: (i) each Member; (ii) each officer, director, stockholder, partner, member, Affiliate, employee, agent or representative of each Member, and each of their Affiliates; and (iii) and each Manager, Officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be a Covered Person.

(b) Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in his, her, or its capacity as a Covered Person, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Covered Person.

(c) Limitation of Liability and Duties. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand, restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of any Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to modify to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Covered Persons to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or applicable provisions of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action or omit to do any of the foregoing (i) in his, her or its "sole discretion" or "discretion" or under a similar grant of authority or latitude or without any express standard being stated (including, without limitation, standards such as "reasonable" or "good faith"), such Covered Person will be entitled to consider such interests and factors, including his, her or its own interests, as such Covered Person desires and will have no duty or obligation to consider any other interests or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (ii) with an express standard of behavior (including, without limitation, standards such as "reasonable" or "good faith"), then the Covered Person will comply with such express standard and will not be subject to any other or different standard.

Section 10.02 Indemnification of Covered Persons.

(a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement, only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay and reimburse any Covered Person against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, "Losses") to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of:

(i) any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company, any Member or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the foregoing in connection with the business of the Company; or

(ii) such Covered Person being or acting in connection with the business of the Company as a member, stockholder, Affiliate, manager, director, officer, administrator, employee or agent of the Company, any Member, or any of their respective Affiliates, or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any Person including the Company; provided, that (x) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and within the scope of such Covered Person's authority conferred on him, her or it by the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his, her or its conduct was unlawful, and (y) such Covered Person's conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person's conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person's conduct constituted fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Control of Defense. Upon a Covered Person's discovery of any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.02, the Covered Person shall give prompt written notice to the Company of such claim, lawsuit or proceeding; provided, that the failure of the Covered Person to provide such notice shall not relieve the Company of any indemnification obligation under this Section 10.02, unless the Company shall have been materially prejudiced thereby. Subject to the approval of the disinterested Members, the Company shall be entitled to participate in or assume the defense of any such claim, lawsuit or proceeding at its own expense. After notice from the Company to the Covered Person

of its election to assume the defense of any such claim, lawsuit or proceeding, the Company shall not be liable to the Covered Person under this Agreement or otherwise for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any such claim, lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Company does not elect (or fails to elect) to assume the defense of any such claim, lawsuit or proceeding, the Covered Person shall have the right to assume the defense of such claim, lawsuit or proceeding as it deems appropriate, but it shall not settle any such claim, lawsuit or proceeding without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.02; provided, that if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 10.02, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses. In connection with any request for reimbursement or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section 10.02, the requesting Covered Person shall execute and deliver to the Company a certification or other undertaking, in a form specified by the Company, to repay any amounts reimbursed, advanced or otherwise paid by the Company for such expenses to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 10.02.

(d) Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 10.02 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.02 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Covered Person.

(e) Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may purchase, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person's duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the Board may propose with the approval by all of the Members; provided, that the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company in respect of such Losses.

(f) Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 10.02 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.

(g) Savings Clause. If this Section 10.02 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 10.02 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 10.02 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(h) Amendment. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.02 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.02 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person's entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person's prior written consent.

Section 10.03 Survival. The provisions of this Article X shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Company.

To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make an election under Code Section 6221(b) or Code Section 6226, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any modifications available under Code Section 6225(c)(3), (4), and (5), to the extent such modification would reduce any taxes payable by the Company.

(e) Indemnification. The Company shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Partnership Representative and the Designated Individual against any and all liabilities sustained as a result of any act or decision concerning Company tax matters and within the scope of the Partnership Representative's or Designated Individual's responsibilities, so long as such act or decision was done or made in good faith and does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

i.	For all investments in which a pricing feed or broker quote is available, such fair value shall be determined by the bid side of such pricing feed or broker quote (average of bid side if multiple); and

ii.	For all investments in which a pricing feed or broker quote is not available, such fair value shall be determined by the Administrative Agent or, if recommended by the Administrative Agent, by an independent valuation firm retained by the Company with prior Board approval.

(b)

Liabilities of the Company shall be taken into account at the amounts at which they are carried on the books of the Company, and provision shall be made in accordance with GAAP for contingent or other liabilities not reflected on such books and, in the case of the liquidation of the Company, for the expenses (to be borne by the Company) of the liquidation and winding up of the Company's affairs.

(c)	No value shall be assigned to the Company name and goodwill or to the office records, files, statistical data, or any similar intangible assets of the Company not normally reflected in the Company's accounting records.

In the event that the Company derives any income that is non-qualifying for purposes of Section 851(b)(2) of the Code as a result of a Business, the Administrative Agent shall notify GECC Member within sixty (60) days thereof.

Section 12.03 Liquidation. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 12.01, the Company shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Delaware Act and the following provisions:

(a) Liquidator. A Person selected by the Board (which may, with Board approval, be the Administrative Agent), acting at the Board's direction, shall act as liquidator to wind up the Company (the "Liquidator"). The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Company's assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.

Section 13.13 Arbitration.

(a) In recognition of the mutual benefits to the Members of a voluntary system of alternative dispute resolution that involves binding confidential arbitration of all disputes of any kind that may arise between them, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all disputes, controversies or claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or relating to this Agreement or to the Company's affairs or the rights or interests of the Members, including the validity, interpretation, performance, breach, alleged or threatened breach or termination of this Agreement, or specific performance hereunder, and the arbitrability of any such dispute, shall be resolved by mandatory binding confidential arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules") then in effect. The seat of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole, neutral arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") selected either by agreement of the parties, or if the parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days of the service of the demand for arbitration, then appointed under the JAMS Rules. The Arbitrator shall have the right to award any and all legal and equitable remedies or relief that would be available to any party under Applicable Law, including equitable or injunctive relief (whether preliminary, interim, mandatory, temporary or permanent), damages (subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement), and attorneys' fees and costs. The Arbitrator shall render a written award that contains his or her factual and legal reasoning and findings. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, expert fees, consulting fees and other litigation costs (if any) ordinarily associated with legal proceedings taking place in a judicial forum, subject to the Arbitrator's reassessment in favor of the prevailing party but

only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. The costs of the arbitration (other than any costs that are specific to a particular party, such as the fees and expenses of counsel, fact witnesses or experts), including any JAMS administration fee and filing fee, arbitrators' fees and the costs of the use of facilities during the hearings, will be initially borne equally by the parties, and promptly following the issuance of an award, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for such costs (and any award of the arbitration panel shall contain a specific provision providing for the reimbursement of such costs by the non-prevailing party). Each party understands, acknowledges and agrees that by agreeing to arbitration, it is giving up any right that it may have to a trial by judge or jury with regard to the matters that are required to be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration. Each party further understands, acknowledges and agrees that there is no right to an appeal or a review of an Arbitrator's award as there would be a right of appeal or review of a judge or jury's decision, except as specifically prescribed by Applicable Law. Each party hereto shall keep confidential (a) the fact that any arbitration occurred, (b) any awards awarded in the arbitration, (c) all materials used, or created for use in, the arbitration by any other Person or that reflect or incorporate information provided by any other Person, and (d) all other documents produced by any other Person in the arbitration and not otherwise in the public domain (collectively, "Confidential Arbitration Information"). If disclosure of Confidential Arbitration Information as permitted by this Agreement is required by Applicable Law or requested by a Governmental Authority, the applicable party shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and, prior to making any such disclosure, allow the other parties hereto a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or to take any other action it deems appropriate, and the party required to disclose the Confidential Arbitration Information shall only disclose as much information as is required and shall take all reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information including by filing the Confidential Arbitration Information under seal to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. The parties hereby acknowledge that any decision by the Arbitrator may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction as an arbitral award pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 13.13(a) above, the parties hereto agree that, in the event that any party hereto seeks a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in connection with its efforts to enforce this Agreement, it may file and prosecute injunctive proceedings in furtherance of arbitration in the state or federal courts of the state of Delaware.

(c) Except as may be otherwise required by Applicable Law in connection with the winding-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company, each Member hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights that it may have to maintain an action for judicial accounting or for partition of any of the Company's property.

Section 13.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto also waives any bond or surety or security upon such bond that might, but for this waiver, be required of any other party hereto. The

scope of this waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Each party hereto further represents and warrants that it has reviewed or had the opportunity to review this waiver with its respective legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

Section 13.15 Equitable Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief (including seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales or other Transfers not made in strict compliance with this Agreement) that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

Section 13.16 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

Section 13.17 Independence of Agreements and Covenants. All agreements and covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain agreement or covenant, the fact that such action or condition is permitted by another agreement or covenant shall not affect the occurrence of such default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to such initial agreement or covenant.

Section 13.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of Electronic Transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Section 14.19 Amendment and Restatement. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Existing Agreement is hereby amended and restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement.
