For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Management Committee calls capital in respect of an Exigent Circumstance the provisions of Section 5.2(a) shall govern such capital call. (c) Intentionally Omitted. (d) If a Member (a "Non-Funding Member") fails to make an Additional Capital Contribution that is required as provided in Section 5.2(b) or Section 9.13 within the time frame required therein (the amount of the failed Additional Capital Contribution shall be the "Default Amount), each other Member, provided that it has made the Additional Capital Contribution required to be made by it, shall have as its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such failure to fund by the Non-Funding Member (such Member exercising such remedy is hereinafter referred to as a "Contributing Member"): (1) to treat its portion of such Capital Contribution as a loan to the Company (rather than a Capital Contribution) and to advance to the Company as a loan to the Company an amount equal to the Default Amount (such loans, each a "Company Loan"). At the election of the Contributing Member, the Company Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in form reasonably satisfactory to the Contributing Member. Each Company Loan shall bear interest at the Default Loan Rate, and (ii) subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, be payable on a first priority basis by the Company from available Cash Flow and prior to any Distributions made to the Non-Funding Member. Interest on a Company Loan, to the extent unpaid, shall accrue and compound on a daily basis. All payments made in respect of any Company Loan shall be applied first to payment of any interest due under such Company Loan and then to principal until all amounts due thereunder are paid in full. Any advance to the Company pursuant to this paragraph shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution made by the Contributing Member or Non-Funding Member and the Capital Account of the Contributing Member and Non-Funding Member shall not be credited with the amount of such Company Loan or any portion thereof. All outstanding Company Loans and Credit Enhancement Loans shall be subordinate in all respects to the Initial Financing and any third party financing obtained by the Company and shall be repaid (in accordance with the terms hereof) on a part passe, pro rata basis in proportion to the outstanding balances of such Company Loans and Credit Enhancement Loans at the time of payment to the extent permitted by the terms of any financing to which the Company is subject; or (2) in lieu of the remedy set forth in subparagraph (1) above, such Contributing Member may revoke its portion of such Additional Capital Contribution, whereupon the portion of such Additional Capital Contribution made by the Contributing Member (together with interest computed at the Default Loan Rate) shall be returned by the Company to such Contributing Member within ten (10) days after such Contributing Member elects to revoke its Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to this paragraph. For purposes of this Section, each Company Loan made by a Contributing Member shall comprise two pads: (A) the amount of the Default Amount advanced by such Contributing NEWYORK &SIM on -7- EFTA00614202 Member (the "Default Amount Allocated Amount"), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (B) the amount of the Additional Capital Contribution required to have been funded by such Contributing Member in connection with the applicable capital call (the "Capital Requirement Allocated Amount"), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Any payments made by the Company on such Company Loan in accordance with paragraph (dX1) above shall be applied to the Default Amount Allocated Amount (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and the Capital Requirement Allocated Amount (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) pro rata in proportion to the outstanding principal balance of the Default Amount Allocated Amount and the Capital Requirement Allocated Amount at the time such payments are made. At any time prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following the date on which a Contributing Member has made a Company Loan to the Company (the "Cure Period"), the Non-Funding Member may make a contribution of capital to the Company in an amount equal to (but not less than) the outstanding principal amount of the Default Amount Allocated Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of the date that such additional contribution of capital is made (a "Curative Contribution"). If a Non-Funding Member shall make a Curative Contribution pursuant to this paragraph, (A) the portion of such Curative Contribution which is equal to the excess of (1) the amount of such Curative Contribution, over (2) the amount of the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Default Amount Allocated Amount as of the date that such Curative Contribution is made, shall be treated as a Senior Preferred Capital Contribution by such Non-Funding Member and shall be credited to the Capital Account of such Non-Funding Member (but such Non-Funding Member shall receive no Capital Account credit for (and shall not be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution in the amount of) the portion of such Curative Contribution that corresponds to or is applied to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Default Amount Allocated Amount), (B) the aggregate amount of such Curative Contribution shall immediately be paid to the Contributing Member and not as a distribution to such Contributing Member, and (C) on the date that such Curative Contribution is made, the outstanding balance of the Capital Requirement Allocated Amount, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of such date, shall automatically be converted to, and be deemed to be, a Senior Preferred Capital Contribution by the Contributing Member to the Company as of such date, at which point such Company Loan shall cease to be a loan by such Contributing Member to the Company and shall automatically be deemed to have been satisfied in full. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, no Additional Capital Contributions shall be required from a Member under Sections 5.2(a) or th) (such Member, an "Exempt Member" and such other Member, a "Non-Exempt Member") and the Exempt Member may elect not to make such Additional Capital Contribution at any time prior to the date such Additional Capital Contribution is required to be made if as of the time such Additional Capital Contribution is required to be made pursuant to Sections 5.2(a) or Oa, (i) the Company or any other Person shall be in default (or with notice or the passage of time or both, would be in default) in any material respect under any loan, indenture, mortgage, lease of real property, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Investment Vehicle is a party or by which the Company (or any Investment Vehicle) or any of its properties or assets is or may be bound, (ii) the Company or any Investment Vehicle (or the Non-Exempt Member) shall be insolvent or bankrupt or in the process of liquidation, termination or dissolution, (iii) there has been a material adverse change in (including, but not limited to, the financial condition of) the Non-Exempt Member which, in the Exempt Member's reasonable NEWYORK6941M (2K) -8- EFTA00614203 judgment, prevents the Non-Exempt Member from performing, or substantially interferes with its ability to perform, its obligations hereunder, or (iv) a Trigger Event has occurred with respect to the Non-Exempt Member. If, pursuant to this Section, the Exempt Member elects not to make an Additional Capital Contribution prior to the date such Additional Capital Contribution is required to be made but after it has already funded such Additional Capital Contribution, then the Company shall return the Additional Capital Contributions made by the Exempt Member in connection with the applicable call for capital. 5.3. Intentionally Omitted. 5.4. Return of Capital Contribution Except as approved by the Management Committee in writing, no Member shall have any right to withdraw or make a demand for withdrawal of the balance reflected in such Member's Capital Account (as determined under Section Le until the full and complete winding up and liquidation of the business of the Company. 5.5.

Interest earned on Company funds shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company, and no interest shall be paid upon any Capital Contributions nor upon any undistributed or reinvested income or profits of the Company. 5.6. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (the "Capital Accounr) shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with Section l.704-1(b)(2Xiv) of the Regulations. Immediately following the funding by the Members of the Initial Capital Contributions required pursuant to Section la, each Member's Capital Account initially will be equal to the amount set forth opposite such Member's name in Exhibit A under the heading Initial Capital Account. Without limiting the foregoing, the Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) the amount of any Capital Contributions made by such Member and (ii) the amount of Income allocated to such Member. The Capital Account of each Member shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any property distributed to the Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to) and (ii) the amount of Loss allocated to the Member. The Capital Accounts of the Members shall not be increased or decreased pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2XivXt) to reflect a revaluation of the Company's assets on the Company's books in connection with any contribution of money or other property to the Company pursuant to Section 52 by existing Members. If any property other than cash is distributed to a Member, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted as if such property had instead been sold by the Company for a price equal to its fair market value, the gain or loss allocated pursuant to Section 2, and the proceeds distributed. No Member shall be obligated to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account. No Member shall be compensated for any positive balance in its Capital Account except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

New Members. The Company, at the written direction of the Management Committee, may issue additional Interests and thereby admit a new member or members, as the NEWVOIUC69411.1 (7K) -9- EFTA00614204 case may be, to the Company, only if such new member (i) has funded to the Company the Capital Contribution required to be made by such new member as determined by the Management Committee, (ii) has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by becoming a party hereto, and (iii) has delivered such additional documentation as the Management Committee shall require to so admit such new member to the Company.
