(a) Upon the failure of any Member (a “Defaulting Member”) to pay in full any portion of such Member’s Capital Commitment when due (the “Default Date”), any Member other than a Defaulting Member (a “Non-Defaulting Member”) (or the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Company upon direction by the Non-Defaulting Member) may, in its sole discretion, may elect to use its senior credit facility or other loan facility to fund a Defaulting Member’s unfunded Additional Capital Contribution. Any other Member shall also be permitted (but not obligated) to fund such Defaulting Member’s unfunded Additional Capital Contribution (the “Funding Member”) and receive interest thereon payable by the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i).

Article 4
ALLOCATIONS

Section 4.1 Capital Accounts.

(a) 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent is authorized to make such modifications to the extent that they do not result in a material adverse effect to any Member. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Capital Accounts shall be maintained in a manner consistent with the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

(b) Profit or Loss shall be allocated among Members as of the end of each fiscal year of the Company; 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 increase in Capital Commitment of any Member, (iii) the liquidation of the Company, or (iv) any period which is determined by the Board to be appropriate. Organization Costs shall be amortized over such period deemed appropriate by the Board.

Distributions with respect to membership interests shall be payable to the owner of such membership interests on the date of distribution. For purposes of determining the Profit or Loss allocable to or the distributions payable to a transferee of membership interests in the Company or to a Member whose membership interests have otherwise increased or decreased, Profit or Loss allocations and distributions made to predecessor owners with respect to such Transferred membership interests or increase of membership interests shall be deemed allocated

Article 5
TAX MATTERS

Section 5.1 General.

(a) The Company shall be properly classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and neither the Company nor any Member shall elect to treat the Company as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each Subsidiary shall be properly classified as a disregarded entity or, with Prior Board Approval, a partnership, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Company shall not elect to treat any such Subsidiary as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes without Prior Board Approval.

(a) Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit determined in accordance with the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations shall be allocated in the same manner as such item is allocated pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, as appropriate.

(b) The allocation methodology set forth in this Article 5 is intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. In the event of any variation between the adjusted tax basis and value of any Company property reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts maintained for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such variation shall be taken into account in allocating taxable income or loss for income tax purposes in accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the principles under Section 704 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations; provided, however, that the Company shall utilize the “traditional method” provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) with respect to the property contributed or deemed contributed to the Company by any Member on or about the Effective Date. A decision to use a method to allocate such variation pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3, other than as described above, shall be considered a tax election requiring Prior Board Approval.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Code or Treasury Regulations require an adjustment to be made to a Capital Account of a Member, or some other event or events occurs or occur necessitating or justifying, in the Members’ judgment, an adjustment deemed equitable to the Members, the Board shall make such adjustment in the determination and allocation among the Members of Capital Accounts, or items of income, deduction, gain, or loss for tax purposes, accounting procedures or such other financial or tax items as shall equitably take into account such event and applicable provisions of law, and the determination thereof in the sole discretion of the Board shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Members.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1 General.

(a) The Company shall distribute substantially all of its net investment income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) each quarter, except as otherwise may be determined by the Board or required pursuant to one or more credit facilities of the Company. A reserve amount may also be established by Prior Board Approval that shall be retained by the Company notwithstanding the foregoing requirement to distribute substantially all of its net investment income; provided that the amount of any such distribution may be reduced or adjusted as provided by Section 3.2(b), Section 6.2 and Section 6.3. The Company expects to distribute substantially all of its interest and fee income and capital gains (net of expenses and any amounts required to be held as collateral or prepaid under applicable loan agreements in respect of Investments, if any).

(b) Any distribution under this Section 6.1 shall be shared among the Members as follows:

(i) First, to pay any interest accrued on the Secured Notes in proportion to the outstanding amount on each such Secured Note; and

(ii) Second, to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Proportionate Shares; provided, however, that if any Member is in default in its obligation to make Capital Contributions or to reimburse the Company for any amounts as and when such Capital Contributions are required to be made or amounts are required to be reimbursed, as applicable, distributions pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(ii) shall be withheld and applied against such Capital Contributions or reimbursement obligations, in the manner set forth herein, and treated for all purposes hereof as having been distributed to such Member and contributed to the Company as a Capital Contribution or paid to the Company as a reimbursement, as applicable.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in the discretion of the Board, reinvest repaid principal received by the Company in respect of the Investments in lieu of distributing such amounts.

Section 6.2 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 foreign, U.S. federal, state or local tax, including any interest, penalties or additions with respect thereto (a “Withholding Payment”), imposed on any interest or income of or distributions to such Member, and such withheld amount shall be considered a distribution 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, any amount which the Company is obligated to pay shall be deemed an interest-free advance from the Company to such Member, payable by such Member by withholding from subsequent distributions or within seven (7) Business Days after receiving written request for payment from the Company. If the proceeds to the Company from an Investment are reduced on account of taxes withheld by any other Person (such as an entity in which the Company owns an interest, directly or indirectly), and such taxes are imposed on or otherwise are attributable to one or more Members, the amount of the reduction shall be treated as if it were paid by the Company as a Withholding Payment with respect to the relevant Member. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify the Company for, and hold the Company harmless from, any Withholding Payment that is attributable to such Member (as reasonably determined by the Board), including any interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.2 shall survive a Member’s ceasing to be a Member of the Company, the termination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company and the termination of this Agreement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on behalf of each Member any available exemption from, reduction in, or refund of withholding or other taxes imposed on such Member (or any beneficial owner of such Member) in connection with income or distributions from the Company or otherwise provide a Member, at such Member’s expense, with reasonable assistance and such reasonably available information as may be required by such Member (or any beneficial owner of such Member) to itself obtain any such available exemption, reduction or refund.

Section 6.3 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions:

(a) In no event shall the Company make a distribution to the extent that it would (i) render the Company insolvent or (ii) violate Section 18-607(a) of the Act or other applicable law.

(b) Any distributions shall require Prior Board Approval and shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Members (with Prior Board Approval), in-kind in such Company assets as may be selected by the Members (with Prior Board Approval) in its sole discretion; provided that the Members (with Prior Board Approval) may elect to have any payments made in respect of the principal of any indebtedness of the Company to be made in-kind by redeeming the applicable Member’s membership interests in the Company (or any portion thereof) at its net asset value as determined in accordance with Company’s valuation guidelines pursuant to Section 10.5 of this Agreement; it being agreed that in no event shall any such redemption be permitted if it would cause either Member’s Proportionate Share or total economic ownership of the Company to exceed eighty-seven-and-one-half-of-one percent (87.5%). The value of any asset distributed in-kind shall equal the fair market value of such asset on the date of distribution as determined by Prior Board Approval, and, provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to distribute the same Company assets to each Member in any-kind distribution. 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 10.5 as of the close of business on the day preceding the distribution, and all other securities and non-cash assets shall be valued as determined in the last valuation made pursuant to Section 10.5.

Article 7

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Administrative Agent agreed to provide certain services to the Company, including those services set forth on Annex B. Any amendments to the Administration Agreement shall require Prior Board Approval.

Section 7.2 Board.

(a) For administrative convenience, the Members desire to act through their representatives serving on the Board. The Members may determine at any time by mutual agreement the number of Managers to constitute the Board and the authorized number of Managers may be increased or decreased by the Members at any time by mutual agreement, upon notice to all Managers; provided that at all times each of PFLT and Hamilton Lane has an equal number of Managers on the Board. The initial number of Managers shall be two (2), and each of PFLT and Hamilton Lane shall each have right to appoint one (1) additional Manager. Each Manager appointed by PFLT or Hamilton Lane, as applicable, shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified by PFLT or Hamilton Lane, as applicable, or until such Manager’s earlier death, resignation, expulsion or removal. Each of PFLT and Hamilton Lane agree to make available employees of their Affiliates to serve as Managers, each of whom is experienced and competent to serve in such capacity, and to make all necessary decisions, and handle all issues and other matters that come before the Board regarding the Company and its affairs. The initial Manager designated by PFLT is Arthur Penn and the initial Managers designated by Hamilton Lane is Trevor Messerly.

(b) Matters to be decided by the Board on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary requiring Prior Board Approval are set forth in further detail in Schedule B hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Section 7.3 Meetings of the Board. The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, within or outside the State of Delaware in person, telephonically or by other electronic means. Meetings of the Board may be called by any Manager on not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to each Manager by telephone, facsimile, mail, email or any other similar means of communication, with such notice stating the place, date, time and other necessary details of the meeting (and the means by which each Manager may participate by telephone or video conference) and the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called. Attendance of a Manager at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 7.4 Board Quorum; Acts of the Board.

(a) At all meetings of the Board, (i) the presence of two (2) Managers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, provided that at least one (1) Manager is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each of PFLT and Hamilton Lane. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Managers 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.

(b) Every act or decision done or made by the Board shall require the unanimous approval of all Managers present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present. The Company shall not have the authority without the Board to approve or undertake any item set forth in Section 1 of Schedule B hereto (as such schedule may be amended from time to time by the Board). Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting, without notice and without a vote if: (i) at least two (2) Managers entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof consent thereto in writing (including by e-mail), and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board, provided that one (1) Manager elected, designated or appointed by each of PFLT and Hamilton Lane, provides such consent; or (ii) all Managers entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof consent thereto in writing (including by e-mail), and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board.

Section 7.5 Investment Restrictions. Except with Prior Board Approval, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not incur indebtedness for borrowed money (including entering into guarantees relating to the incurrence of borrowed money by any Person) to the extent such incurrence would cause the Leverage Ratio to exceed one hundred and fifty percent (150%).

Section 7.6 Electronic Communications. Managers may participate in meetings of the Board by means of telephone or video conference, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting to the extent permissible by applicable law.

Section 7.7 Compensation; Expenses. The Managers will not receive any compensation from the Company or its Subsidiaries for their service as Managers. However, the Managers shall be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Board.

Section 7.8 Removal and Resignation; Vacancies. Unless otherwise restricted by law, any Manager may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time solely by the Member(s) that elected, designated or appointed such individual. Any Manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Member(s) who elected, designated or appointed such individual with a copy to the Company. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein and, unless tendered to take effect upon acceptance thereof, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any vacancy caused by removal or expulsion of a Manager or the resignation of a Manager in accordance with this Section 7.8 shall be filled solely by the action of the Member who previously elected, designated or appointed such individual in order to fulfill the Board composition requirements of Section 7.2(a).

Section 7.9 Fiduciary Duties. For the avoidance of doubt, no Member, in its capacity as Member of the Company or Manager, shall owe any fiduciary duty to the Company, to any other Member or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, employees or agents of any of the foregoing, or any of their respective heirs, successors or assigns. Other than the duty to act in accordance with the Administration Agreement, including the obligation to comply with the duties and standard of service set forth therein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or to any Member.

Section 7.10 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any contract, instrument or act on behalf of the Company by an officer or any other Person delegated by Prior Board Approval shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any third party dealing with the Company that such Person has the authority, power and right to execute and deliver such contract or instrument and to take such act on behalf of the Company. This Section 7.10 shall not be deemed to limit the liabilities and obligations of such Person to seek Prior Board Approval.

Section 7.11 Members’ Outside Transactions; Investment Opportunities.

(a) No Member or Manager shall be required to devote any fixed portion of its time to the activities and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, that each of PFLT and Hamilton Lane shall devote such time and effort as is reasonably necessary to diligently conduct the activities and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates manage, advise or administer other investment funds and other accounts and may manage, advise or administer additional funds and other accounts in the future, some of which may have similar mandates as the Company. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates are subject to the provisions of the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereof, with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities among such other investment funds and other accounts and the Company. Neither the Administrative Agent nor its Affiliates shall be obligated to offer any investment opportunity, or portion thereof, to the Company.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.11 and other provisions of this Agreement, each of the Members, the Managers, the Administrative Agent and each of their respective Affiliates and members may engage in, invest in, participate in or otherwise enter into other business ventures of any kind, nature and description, individually and with others, including the formation and management of other investment funds, with or without the same or similar purposes as the Company, and the ownership of and investment in securities, and neither the Company nor any other Member shall have any right in or to any such activities or the income or profits derived therefrom.

(d) No Member, in its capacity as Member of the Company, shall owe any duty (including any fiduciary duty) to the Company, to any other Member or any of their respective Affiliates, officers,

directors, members, partners, shareholders, employees or agents of any of the foregoing, or any of their respective heirs, successors or assigns (other than the duty of good faith and fair dealing).

Section 7.12 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Section 7.12, each Person who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or arbitrative or in the nature of an alternative dispute resolution in lieu of any of the foregoing (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such Person, or a Person of which such Person is the legal representative, is or was a Member, Administrative Agent, Manager, Partnership Representative or a representative, officer, director or employee thereof 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 said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all liabilities and expenses (including judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), losses, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees)) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (each a “Loss”), unless such Loss shall have been primarily the result of bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct by the Person seeking indemnification hereunder (or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, a breach of its duties under the Administration Agreement), in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Loss to the extent resulting from such bad faith, gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, an intentional and willful material breach of its duties under the Administration Agreement). A Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder shall continue to be entitled to indemnity hereunder with respect to acts undertaken in such capacity. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall be contract rights to the indemnified Persons hereunder, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.12 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 such amendment, modification or repeal. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.12 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 bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, a breach of its duties under the Administration Agreement). In addition, any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.12 may consult with legal counsel selected with reasonable care and shall incur no liability to the Company or any Member to the extent that such Person acted or refrained from acting in good faith in reliance upon the opinion or advice of such counsel.

(b) The right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.12(a) shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company for the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.12(a) who was, is or is threatened to be made, a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written undertaking by such Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall be finally adjudicated that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.12 or otherwise; provided, further, that such advancement of expenses by the Company shall not be made to such Person in the event that the Proceeding involves a Member, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and another Member, the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand.

(c) The Company, with Prior Board Approval, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to a Member or the Administrative Agent or their respective representatives under Sections 7.12(a) and (b).

(d) The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Section 7.12 shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Member or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.12 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory) or provision of this Agreement.

(e) The indemnification rights provided by this Section 7.12 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of each Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.12.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide Hamilton Lane with written notice of any indemnification or advancements of fees and expenses to PFLT or any of its Affiliates or representatives pursuant to Section 7.12(a) or (b), as applicable.

(g) An indemnified party may also have certain rights to indemnification by its Affiliates and/or insurance provided by such Affiliates (the “Other Indemnitors”). The Company is the indemnitor of first resort (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligations of the Company hereunder to the indemnified parties are primary, and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification to the indemnified parties are secondary). The Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of advancements or other payments. The Company further agrees that no advancement or other payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of any indemnified party with respect to any claim for which such indemnified party has sought indemnification or advancement from the Company shall affect the foregoing, and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancements or other payments. Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed a limitation on an indemnified party’s right to indemnification.

Section 7.13 Partnership Representative.

(a) PFLT will serve as the “partnership representative” of the Company as provided in Section 6223(a) of the Code (or any successor or similar provision of U.S. federal, state or local law) and a “designated individual” that is subject to the control of PFLT will be appointed by the Company through whom the partnership representative will act (individually and collectively referred to as the “Partnership Representative”). In such capacity, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the Partnership Representative shall have sole discretion to make or refrain from making any election or otherwise act on behalf of the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings. 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. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Partnership Representative and provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative in relation to carrying out its responsibilities under Section 6223 of the Code (and the regulations promulgated thereunder). The Company agrees to indemnify the Partnership Representative and its agents and save and hold them harmless, from and in respect to all Losses incurred by the Partnership Representative in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, or demand against the Partnership Representative or the Company that arise out of or in any way relate to

the Partnership Representative’s status as “partnership representative” of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership Representative shall not take any action requiring Prior Board Approval prior to such Prior Board Approval being obtained.

(b) If the Company is subject to any tax liability imposed under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code, as well as any related interest, penalties, or other charges or expenses (collectively, a “Tax Liability”), the Board (or the Partnership Representative, in consultation with the Board) shall allocate among the Members any Tax Liability in a manner it determines to be fair and equitable and the Capital Accounts hereunder by deducting amounts from Capital Accounts or reducing amounts otherwise distributable to Members, taking into account any modifications attributable to a Member pursuant to Section 6225(c) of the Code and any similar state and local authority. To the extent that a portion of a Tax Liability for a prior tax year relates to a former Member, the Board (or the Partnership Representative, in consultation with the Board) may require a former Member to indemnify the Company for its allocable portion of such tax. Each Member acknowledges that, notwithstanding the Transfer or withdrawal of all or any portion of its interest in the Company, pursuant to this Section 7.13, it may remain liable for Tax Liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Company for the Company’s tax years (or portions thereof) prior to such Transfer or withdrawal, as applicable, under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code or any similar state or local provisions. Any Tax Liability that is payable by the Company shall, to the extent attributable to a Member’s (or a former Member’s) interest in the Company, be treated as distributed or otherwise paid to such Member in the same manner as a withholding tax. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Board or the Partnership Representative shall be permitted to take any actions to avoid Tax Liability being imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Portfolio Companies under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any Tax Liability incurred by the Company or such other Members with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member, except in the event such liability arises due to the Company’s bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, a breach of its duties under the Administration Agreement). Each Member agrees that, notwithstanding the Transfer of all or any portion of its interest in the Company, if requested by the Board, it shall provide an IRS Form W-9, the appropriate IRS Form W-8 or any other certificate or documentation, which, the Board reasonably determines, is necessary.

(c) Company Audits.

(i) The Partnership Representative shall (or with respect to any Applicable Entity other than the Company, PFLT shall cause the applicable general partner or other Affiliate thereof serving in a like capacity to) use commercially reasonable efforts to secure any reduction in any imputed underpayment within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code, and for which any Applicable Entity has not made the election provided in Section 6226 of the Code, that is available by reason of a Member’s status (including by means of any procedures provided pursuant to Section 6225(c)(3) of the Code) and the Company shall apportion the benefit of any such reduction to such Member (or, with respect to any Applicable Entity other than the Company, the entity through which such Member directly or indirectly invests in such entity) pursuant to this Agreement (or, with respect to any Applicable Entity other than the Company, the applicable organizational documents of such Applicable Entity), provided that in no event shall the Partnership Representative be required to take any action under this paragraph to the extent the Partnership Representative determines such action could have an adverse impact on the Company, or any other Member (or, with respect to any Applicable Entity other than the Company, such Applicable Entity or its owners).

(ii) If the Company (or, with respect to any Applicable Entity other than the Company, the applicable general partner or other Affiliate thereof serving in a like capacity) determines, consistent with applicable legal or regulatory requirements to allocate the economic burden (including, but not limited to, the responsibility for funding or payment) of any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed on any Applicable Entity under Sections 6225 and 6232 of the Code, in whole or in part, to a Member (directly or indirectly), then the Company, as promptly as reasonably possible and, to the extent reasonably practicable, prior to payment of any tax, penalty, addition to tax, or interest, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Member with a written notice that sets forth the amount of the liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax, and interest imposed on such Member, and if such notice cannot be provided prior to payment, to provide such notice as promptly as reasonably possible after such payment is made. Each of the Company and the Partnership Representative shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such additional documentation and reasonable assistance to such Member as reasonably requested by such Member, at the Member’s expense, to permit such Member to oppose the imposition of such taxes, penalties, additions to tax, or interest by the IRS or to otherwise use any other reasonably available means to reduce such amount.

(iii) The Partnership Representative shall inform each Member as to the initiation of an audit of the Company’s tax affairs by the IRS. If an audit of any of the Company’s tax returns shall occur, neither the Company nor the Partnership Representative shall settle or otherwise compromise assertions of the auditing agent which may be materially adverse to the Members or their respective investors without first advising such Members in writing of the proposed action.

(iv) This Section 7.13(c) shall apply, to the extent applicable, to any substantively similar and material U.S. state and local tax audit regimes.

(d) Each Member’s obligation to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.13 shall survive such Member’s ceasing to be a Member of the Company, the termination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Article 8
TRANSFERS OF COMPANY INTERESTS; WITHDRAWALS

Section 8.1 [RESERVED].

Section 8.2 Transfers by Members.

(a) Subject to the requirements of this Article 8, any portion of a Member’s membership interests may be Transferred with Prior Board Approval, provided that the Board shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a Transfer by a Member to an Affiliate of such Member, and provided further that any transfer of membership interest must be accompanied by a transfer of a proportionate amount of the Secured Notes as set forth in Section 3.1(c) and any transfer of Secured Notes must likewise be accompanied by a proportionate transfer of membership interests.

(b) The admission of a transferee as a substitute Member shall be conditioned upon the transferee’s written assumption, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board, of all obligations (other than the Capital Commitment to the extent not transferred in such Transfer) and restrictions of the transferor in respect of the Transferred membership interests and execution of an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Board whereby such transferee becomes a party to this Agreement.

Any transferee of the interest of a Member, irrespective of whether such transferee has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of such Transfer to have agreed to be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as its transferor.

(c) The Capital Contribution of a Member that is an assignee of all or a portion of an equity interest in the Company shall include the Capital Contribution of the assignor (or a pro rata portion thereof in the case of an assignment of less than the Entire Interest of the assignor). 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 (including, if applicable, any entity serving as the Member’s bankruptcy trustee, receiver, administrator, or similar role) or successor of such Member shall, upon written notice to the other Member of the happening, become a transferee of such Member’s interest, subject to all of the terms of this Agreement as then in effect.

(d) As additional conditions to the validity of any Transfer of a Member’s membership interests, such assignment shall not:

(i) violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act or the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction;

(ii) cause the Company to cease to be entitled to the exemption from the definition of an “investment company” pursuant to either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;

(iii) cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” subject to tax as a corporation within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code;

(iv) unless each of the other Members waives in writing the application of this clause (iv) with respect to such assignment (which any of the other Members may refuse to do in its absolute discretion), be to a Person which is an employment benefit plan within the meaning of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time; or

(v) 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 law.

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

Section 8.3 Withdrawal by Members. Except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement, a Member may not resign or withdraw from the Company without Prior Board Approval. The remaining Members may, in their sole discretion, cause the Company to distribute to the resigning or withdrawing Member the balance in its Capital Account on the date of such resignation or withdrawal. Upon the distribution to the resigning or withdrawing Member of the balance in such Member’s Capital Account, the resigning or withdrawing Member shall have no further rights with respect to the Company. Any Member resigning or withdrawing in contravention of this Section 8.3 shall indemnify, defend and

hold harmless the Company and all other Members from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by the Company or any such other Member arising out of or resulting from such resignation or withdrawal.

Article 9
TERM, DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF COMPANY

Section 9.1 Term. Except as provided in Section 9.2, the Company shall continue without dissolution until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Term”); provided, however, that the Term may be extended at any time by the Board with Prior Board Approval.

Section 9.2 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) the expiration of the Term;

(b) distribution of all assets of the Company;

(c) (i) the withdrawal of a Member of the Company pursuant to Section 8.2, or (ii) a bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of a Member, or (iii) the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors by a Member, or (iv) a default under Section 3.3 by a Member which remains uncured or unwaived after the expiration of the cure period set forth in Section 3.3, in each case of clauses (ii) through (iv) above unless resolved otherwise by the other Members;

(d) a determination by any regulatory agency to subject a Member’s participation in the Company to an accounting or reporting treatment or other consequence which such Member, in its sole discretion, determines to be materially adverse to it, a change in any accounting rule or guidance that would subject a Member’s participation in the Company to an accounting treatment or other consequence which such Member, in its sole discretion, determines to be materially adverse to it, or a change by any regulatory agency of any assent it may have granted which a Member, in its sole discretion, determines to be materially adverse to it, in each case at the election of such Member by providing written notice of such election to the other Member; or

(e) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to the Act, in which event the provisions of Section 9.3, as modified by said decree, shall govern the winding up of the Company’s affairs.

Section 9.3 Wind-down.

(a) Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article 9 and the Act. The liquidation shall be conducted and supervised by the Board in the same manner provided by Article 6 with respect to the operation of the Company during its term; provided, that in the case of a dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(e), the Member that elects such dissolution and winding up may elect further, by written notice to the other Members, to exercise as liquidating agent all of the rights, powers and authority with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Company in connection with the liquidation of the Company, to the same extent as the Board would have during the term of the Company. In the case of a dissolution and winding up of the Company, subject to and without limiting any provision of this Agreement, the Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete, and to cause the Company and the Administrative Agent to complete, the liquidation as set forth in this Section 9.3 within twelve (12) months from the date on which an event set forth in Section 9.3 becomes effective (which, if such liquidation has not been completed by such time, may be extended by Prior Board Approval for up to an additional twelve (12) months).

(b) From and after the date on which an event set forth in Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall cease to make Investments after that date, except for (i) Investments which the Company was committed to make in whole or in part (as evidenced by a commitment letter, term sheet or letter of intent, or definitive legal documents under which less than all advances have been made) on or before such effective date and (ii) at the election of the Board. Capital calls against the Capital Commitment of the Members shall cease from and after such effective date; provided that capital calls against the Capital Commitment of the Members may continue to fund the allocable share of Investments in which the Company continues to participate (as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), Expenses and all other obligations of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, the Members shall continue to bear an allocable share of Expenses and other obligations of the Company until all Investments in which the Company participates are repaid or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of the Company’s activities.

(c) Distributions to the Members during the winding down of the Company shall be made no less frequently than quarterly to the extent consisting of a Member’s allocable share of cash and cash equivalents, after taking into account reasonable reserves deemed appropriate by the Board, to fund Investments in which the Company continues to participate (as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph), Expenses and all other obligations (including contingent obligations) of the Company. A Member shall remain a member of the Company until all Investments are repaid or otherwise disposed of, the Member’s allocable share of all Expenses and all other obligations (including contingent obligations) of the Company are paid, and all distributions are made hereunder, at which time the Member shall have no further rights under this Agreement.

(d) Upon dissolution of the Company, final allocations of all items of Profit or Loss shall be made in accordance with Section 4.2. Upon dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) To creditors (other than Members) in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or by the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including to establish any reasonable reserves which the Board, in its reasonable judgment, deems necessary or advisable for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liability of the Company;

(ii) To creditors who are Members in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or by the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including to establish any reasonable reserves which the Board, in its reasonable judgment, deems necessary or advisable for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liability of the Company;

(iii) To establish any reserves which the Board, in its reasonable judgment, deems necessary or advisable for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liability of the Company to Members; and

(g) Each Member shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the Company’s accountant, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of complete liquidation, and each Member’s share thereof.
