Subject to the remainder of this Section 4.3, Administrative Member shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use reasonable efforts to promptly in accordance with the determination of the Board, sell or dispose of all of the Company Assets held by the Company and its Subsidiaries or engage in any other liquidation transactions with respect to such Company Assets (it being understood that any such sales or disposals of Company Assets may be in tranches for all or a portion of the Company Assets and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or otherwise, the sale of any Retained Assets may only be undertaken to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and securitization documents, and distribute the net cash proceeds from any such sales, dispositions, or other liquidation transactions of Company Assets (after payment of applicable
26

expenses and providing for reserves agreed upon by the Members pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(xxx)) to the Members in accordance with Section 10.6(a) and Administrative Member and the Board shall in good faith seek to maximize the value to be received by the Members in any such transaction or transactions, including taking into account the potential tax exposure to a REIT from such transactions (including the tax implications of a sale through a taxable REIT subsidiary); provided, that prior to marketing all or any of the Company Assets for sale or other disposition, (i) Figure shall provide (acting on behalf of the Company in the case of a ROFO Notice for Company Assets), a ROFO Notice to Investor and either (x) Investor shall have declined or deemed to have declined to provide a ROFO Response Notice, pursuant to Section 4.3(c), or (y) Figure shall have declined or deemed to have declined to provide a ROFO Acceptance Notice pursuant to Section 4.3(c) (the occurrence of any of the foregoing in this clause (i), a “ROFO Waiver”) and (ii) Figure and the Company shall have complied with the provisions of Section 4.3(d).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time on or after the Run-Off Commencement Date, either Member, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to Transfer their respective Membership Interests (in whole but not in part) to any Person, without the approval or consent of any other Member, the Company, the Board, or any Manager, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and subject to a ROFO with respect to such Member’s Membership Interest, which shall be exercised in accordance with Section 4.3(c).
(c) With respect to any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(b) or the final proviso of the final sentence of Section 4.3(a), the Member that desires to Transfer its Membership Interests (or in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a), Figure, for itself or, in the case of a ROFO with respect to Company Assets, on behalf of the Company, as applicable), shall first offer such Member’s Membership Interests (or in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a), Figure’s Membership Interest or all of the Company Assets, as applicable) to the other Member (the “Buying Member”) for purchase by providing written notice (the “ROFO Notice”; and such Member (including Figure in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a), delivering the ROFO Notice), the “Selling Member”) to the Buying Member, and the Buying Member shall have the right to offer to purchase the Selling Member’s Membership Interests (or in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a), all of Figure’s Membership Interest or all of the Company Assets), at the Buyout Price calculated based on a Proposed Value reasonably proposed by Buying Member (each, a “ROFO”). In order to exercise the ROFO, the Buying Member must, no later than thirty (30) days after its receipt of the ROFO Notice, provide written notice to the Selling Member (the “ROFO Response Notice”), stating that it desires to purchase the Selling Member’s Membership Interests (or in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a), all of Figure’s Membership Interest or all of the Company Assets), which notice shall set forth the Proposed Value, as reasonably determined by Buying Member, of all of the Company Assets then owned by the Company and the Subsidiaries, and therefore the basis on which the Buyout Price payable to the Selling Member (or in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a), to Figure or the Company, as applicable) would be calculated. In the event the Buying Member fails to deliver a ROFO Response Notice within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the ROFO Notice, the Buying Member shall be deemed to have waived its right to exercise the ROFO. The Selling Member (including on behalf of the Company in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a)) shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the Buying Member (the “ROFO Acceptance Notice”) within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the ROFO Response Notice, to elect to sell to the Buying Member or its designee the Selling Member’s Membership Interest (or in the case of any ROFO undertaken pursuant to Section 4.3(a), all of Figure’s Membership Interest or all of the Company Assets) at the Buyout Price calculated based on the Proposed Value set forth in the ROFO Response Notice, in which event the Members, and the Company, as applicable, shall consummate the closing of such sale at such Buyout Price as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event, within thirty (30) days after the Selling Member’s delivery of the ROFO Acceptance Notice (subject to extension for up to an additional sixty (60) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required Governmental Entity approvals or clearances or required
27

lender consents). If Selling Member fails to provide a ROFO Acceptance Notice within such thirty (30) days period, then the Selling Member shall be deemed to have elected not to accept the terms of the ROFO Response Notice. Except with respect to a sale of the Company Assets, at the closing of any sale to the Buying Member pursuant to a ROFO Acceptance Notice, the adjustments set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of Section 4.2(b)(ii) shall be made to the Proposed Value and the Buyout Price, as applicable, to arrive at the final Buyout Price payable to the Selling Member pursuant to this Section 4.3(c). If Buying Member does not timely elect to exercise such ROFO, or if the Selling Member rejects the ROFO Response Notice or declines to provide a ROFO Acceptance Notice, then the Selling Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, to sell all but not less than all of its Membership Interests or to cause the Company to sell all but not less than all of the Company Assets (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or otherwise, the sale of any Retained Assets may only be undertaken to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and securitization documents) to a third party at a price calculated based on a Proposed Value greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the Proposed Value set forth in any ROFO Response Notice given in accordance with this Section 4.3(c). If Selling Member (or in the case of Section 4.3(a), Figure) fails to sell (or cause to be sold) its Membership Interests (or in the case of Section 4.3(a), Figure’s Membership Interests or all of the Company Assets) within such one hundred and twenty (120) day period in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Selling Member must once again provide a ROFO Notice to Buying Member before it elects to sell its Membership Interests pursuant to Section 4.3(b) or in the case of Section 4.3(a), before Figure elects to sell its Membership Interests or cause the Company to sell, all of the Company Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Buying Member elects to exercise the ROFO, and the Selling Member elects to exercise its ROFO Acceptance, and the closing thereof fails to occur for any reason (except for any reason solely or primarily attributable to the action or inaction of the Selling Member), then the Selling Member shall thereafter have the right to market and sell its Membership Interest (or in the case of Section 4.3(a), Figure’s Membership Interest or the Company Assets) to a third party that is not a Sixth Street Competitor (if the Defaulting Member is any Member other than Investor) or Competitor (if the Defaulting Member is a Member other than Figure), at any price (including at a price calculated based on less than 100% of the Proposed Value set forth in the ROFO Notice); provided, that, the Buying Member may in its sole discretion waive any condition to such Buying Member’s obligation to close other than the payment of the purchase price and the release of any full recourse guarantees. If any full recourse guaranties have been provided by any Selling Member or its Affiliates in connection with any warehousing facilities, financings or securitizations for the benefit of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, it shall be a condition precedent that the Members and the Company obtain the release of the Selling Member or its Affiliates from any such guaranties simultaneously with the closing of any ROFO.
(d) If a ROFO Waiver occurs, prior to marketing less than all of the Company Assets (the “Subject Assets”) for sale to third parties (it being agreed that a sale of all of the Company Assets shall be governed by Sections 4.3(a) and (c)), Figure, acting on behalf of the Company, shall offer to sell such Company Assets to Investor (either directly or through its designee) in exchange for a purchase price equal to a proposed value for such Subject Assets as reasonably determined by Figure (a “Company Offer”). If Investor receives a Company Offer, Investor shall have the right to elect (by written notice delivered to the Company and Figure) to purchase such Subject Assets within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Company Offer; provided, that if Investor fails to provide written notice of such election within such thirty (30) day period, Investor shall be deemed to have elected not to accept the Company Offer. If Investor declines or is deemed to have declined to purchase the applicable Subject Assets pursuant to a Company Offer, Figure, acting on behalf of the Company, shall have the right but not the obligation, for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days thereafter, to sell all but not less than all of the Subject Assets to a third party at a price greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the proposed value of the Subject Assets set forth in the Company Offer given in accordance with this Section 4.3(d) (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or otherwise, the sale of any Retained Assets may only be undertaken to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and securitization
28

documents). If the Company fails to consummate a sale of the Subject Assets within such one hundred and twenty (120) day period in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Figure must once again provide a Company Offer to Investor with respect to such Subject Assets before the Company can sell the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Investor elects to exercise its right to purchase any Subject Assets pursuant to a Company Offer but the closing thereof fails to occur for any reason (except for any reason solely or primarily attributable to the action or inaction of Figure), then Figure, acting on behalf of the Company, shall thereafter have the right to market and sell such Subject Assets to a third party that is not a Sixth Street Competitor at any price; provided, that, Investor may in its sole discretion waive any condition to Investor’s obligation to close other than the payment of the purchase price and the release of any full recourse guarantees.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not all of the Company Assets have been disposed within two (2) years after the Run-Off Commencement Date, either Member shall have the right to unilaterally cause the Company to sell the remaining Company Assets (excluding, however, any Retained Assets the sale of which is not permitted by applicable laws and regulations and securitization documents) in a dealer-auction participated in with a minimum of three (3) nationally recognized dealers; provided, that either Member shall have the right to participate in such dealer-auction as a bidder. Each Member shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including in their capacity as the Seller and Servicer) to, cooperate with and provide assistance to the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Board, and each other Member in connection therewith, including executing and delivering documents, agreements, instruments, and certificates, providing information and reports and doing such other things, as may be reasonably requested by the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Board, and each other Member in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Section 4.3; provided, that the same does not increase the liabilities or obligations, or decrease the rights and benefits, of such Member by more than a de minimis extent.

The term “Restricted Period” shall mean the period from and after the Effective Date until, (A) if a Run-Off Commencement Date has occurred and at such time as Figure is not a Pre-Defaulting Member, such Run-Off Commencement Date, (B) if a Run-Off Commencement Date has occurred and at such time Figure is a Pre-Defaulting Member (x) if following such Run-Off Commencement Date, Figure becomes a Defaulting Member in respect of the Bad Act Termination Event that caused Figure to then become a Pre-Defaulting Member, the two-year anniversary of such Run-Off Commencement Date, or (y) if following such Run-Off Commencement Date, Figure does not become a Defaulting Member in respect of the Bad Act Termination Event that caused Figure to then become a Pre-Defaulting Member, such Run-Off Commencement Date, or (C) if a Run-Off Commencement Date has occurred and at such time Figure is a Defaulting Member, the two-year anniversary of such Run-Off Commencement Date.

7.5 Cooperation.
(a) Each Member shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Subsidiaries to, at the Company’s expense, provide commercially reasonable assistance to the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with any hedging, financing (including a warehouse facility), securitization or loan sale transaction pursued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with this Agreement, if any, including to (i) form (or cause a securitization depositor to form) each securitization borrower and/or issuer, (ii) provide information reasonably requested in connection therewith by lenders, initial purchasers, trustees or other contractual counterparties, (iii) provide information for inclusion in any disclosure materials to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws, (iv) provide information, documents, agreements, opinions, certificates, or other instruments reasonably requested in support of the Company’s sponsorship or participation in any such transaction and for the establishment and maintenance of the website required by Rule 17g-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and post any requisite ABS 15E on such website, (v) cooperate in preparation and filing of requisite Form ABS-15G filings and any ABS 15E, and (vi) participate in and help prepare any roadshows.

(c) Investor and Figure will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to obtain the best advance rate for each warehouse facility. To the extent that any warehouse financer requires a recourse guarantee from Investor, and without such financing the Company would not have monthly Net Cash Flow (without regard to Net Cash Flow from any prior months) sufficient to make distributions to the Members pursuant to Section 10.6(a)(iii) in full on a monthly basis (assuming for the purposes of this Section 7.5(c) that no Superpriority Contributions have been made by the Members), and Investor does not agree to provide such guarantee, then Investor and Figure agree to renegotiate in good faith the Preferred Hurdle Rate solely to the extent there is a decrease in the Company’s ability to make distributions to the Members in full on a monthly basis pursuant to Section 10.6(a)(iii) from monthly Net Cash Flow (without regard to Net Cash Flow from any prior months and assuming for the purposes of this Section 7.5(c) that no Superpriority Contributions have been made by the Members) as a direct result of any actual diminution of warehouse economics to the Company.

(d) With the approval of the Board, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding with respect to which such Covered Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.6, may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Covered Person engaged in any Unindemnifiable Act.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members and their respective Covered Persons from and against any and all actual direct Indemnifiable Losses incurred by such Person arising out of or attributable to such Member’s (or its Affiliate’s) Unindemnifiable Acts.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section 8.6 are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement or document, vote of the Board or the Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Covered Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Covered Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Covered Person is indemnified, it being agreed that indemnification and advancement of expenses of the Covered Persons as specified in this Section 8.6 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except as otherwise provided herein. The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any Person who is not specified herein but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Act.
50

(g) Each of the Covered Persons may, in the performance of such Covered Person’s duties arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the business and affairs of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, consult with legal counsel and accountants, and any act or omission by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Covered Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the officers or employees of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or by any other Person as to matters such Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence.
(h) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 8.6 shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of any Covered Person under this Section 8.6 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became a Covered Person hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal. If this Section 8.6 or any portion of this Section 8.6 shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Covered Person as to actual direct Indemnifiable Losses to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 8.6 that shall not have been invalidated. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year from the date of dissolution of the Company, provided that (i) if at the end of such period there are any actions, proceedings or investigations then pending, any Covered Person may so notify the Company and the other Members at such time (which notice shall include a brief description of each such action, proceeding or investigation and the liabilities asserted therein) and the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive with respect to each such action, proceeding or investigation set forth in such notice (or any related action, proceeding or investigation based upon the same or similar claim) until such date that such action, proceeding or investigation is finally resolved and (ii) the obligations of the Company under this Section 8.6 shall be satisfied solely out of Company assets.
(i) A Covered Person seeking indemnification under this Section 8.6 will give prompt written notice to the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, of any third party claim that may give rise to indemnification under this Section 8.6, provided that any failure or delay in providing such notice shall not affect the rights of such Covered Person or obligations of the Company except to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, shall have been prejudiced by the Covered Person’s failure to give such notice, in which case the Company shall be relieved from its obligations under this Section 8.6 only to the extent of such prejudice, unless approved by the Board. If the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, elects to conduct the defense of the third party claim, the Covered Person will cooperate with and make available to the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, such assistance, personnel, witnesses and materials as the Company may reasonably request. The Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, may elect at any time to settle or compromise any such action or claim or to defend such action or claim, in each case at its sole cost and expense and with its own counsel. If, within thirty (30) days of receipt from a Covered Person of the notice referred to above, the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, (i) advises the Covered Person in writing that it shall not elect to defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or (ii) fails to make such an election in writing, the Covered Person may (subject to the Company’s or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, continuing right of election in the preceding sentence), at such Covered Person’s option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim; provided that any such settlement or compromise by any Covered Person shall be
51

permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable. The Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, shall not settle any third party claim subject to indemnification under this Section 8.6 against a Covered Person where the Covered Person is not released from liability resulting from such third party claim without the Covered Person’s consent.
(j) If a Covered Person is entitled under any provision of this Section 8.6 to indemnification by the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, for some or a portion of the expenses or Indemnifiable Losses incurred by such Covered Person in the preparation, investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any action or claim, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company or the other indemnifying Member, as applicable, shall indemnify the Covered Person for the portion of such expenses or Indemnifiable Losses to which the Covered Person is entitled.
(k) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Persons who are Covered Persons hereunder may be involved with the Company and its Subsidiaries in other capacities in addition to being a Member, Administrative Member, Partnership Representative or Manager of the Company, or their respective Related Parties, agents or representatives. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the indemnification, exculpation, advancement of expenses and other rights and obligations set forth in this Section 8.6 shall not apply or be available to any Covered Person with respect to any actions or omissions of such Covered Person in any capacity other than as a Member, Administrative Member, Partnership Representative or Manager of the Company, or their respective Related Parties, agents or representatives, unless approved by the Board, or in the case of an Affiliated Party, by the Members. The amount of any recovery by a Covered Person pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be reduced by any indemnification and similar payments actually recovered by any Covered Person or such Covered Person’s Affiliates under any Basic Document.
8.7 Manager’s Discharge of Duties.
In discharging its duties, Administrative Member and each Manager shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements by any Person as to matters Administrative Member or such Manager reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits or Losses of the Company or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to Members might properly be paid.
8.8 Resignation; Removal of Manager.
(a) In the event of the vacancy on the Board, at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without cause) of a Manager, then, subject to Section 8.1(b), and so long as such Member is not a Defaulting Member, the Member that appointed such Manager shall have the right to appoint a replacement Manager to fill such vacancy at any time and from time to time; provided, that any replacement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.1(b).
(b) A Manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Company. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified in such notice or, if not so specified, immediately upon receipt of such notice by the Company.
(c) Any Manager may be removed, with or without cause, only with the consent of the Member or Members that appointed such Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Members agree to take any action required to cause any Manager appointed by such Member to resign, or be removed, as needed, to effect the intent of Section 8.1(b).
52

8.9 Distributions.
Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all Distributions and a share of any Profits or Losses and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Board, any Manager, or any Member. No Member shall have any right to demand or receive assets other than money upon dissolution and termination of the Company.
8.10 Reimbursable Expenses.
To the extent not paid directly by the Company, the Company shall reimburse Manager, Members, Administrative Member and their respective Affiliates for any Company Expenses or other out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by any Manager, Member, Administrative Member or their respective Affiliates on behalf of the Company or any Manager connection with the management the Company or the business and operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Reimbursable Expenses”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) no Manager shall be entitled to be paid any compensation, out of the assets of the Company, in respect of his or her service on the Board, and (ii) no Member shall be entitled to a reimbursement for any internal or overhead costs and (iii) Administrative Member shall not be entitled to reimbursement for any costs or expenses that are not expressly contemplated by the Company Budget (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Administrative Member be required to pay for Company Expenses directly from its own account).
ARTICLE IX
CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
9.1 Capital Contributions.
Except as set forth in Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 and as otherwise required by law, at no time shall any Member be required or permitted to make any Capital Contributions to the Company; provided that any Member shall be permitted (but not required) to make Capital Contributions (but not Superpriority Contributions) from time to time if approved by the Board. The cumulative Capital Contributions made to the Company by each Member at any given point in time shall be set forth in the Company’s books and records.
9.2 Initial Capital Contributions.
Figure and Investor agree to make their respective Initial Capital Contributions in cash no later than immediately prior to such Member making its Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to the first Capital Call Notice issued by the Company.
9.3 Additional Capital Contributions.
(a) By no later than the tenth (10th) day (or if such date is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day) of each calendar month, commencing with the first month after Side Letter Effective Date, the Board shall determine the amount of Additional Capital Contributions required to be made by each Member to fund Company expenses anticipated for such month (which shall in any event include funds necessary to make Call Option Payments and funds necessary for the Company and its Subsidiaries to perform obligations under matters approved as a Material Decision or Fundamental Decision as the case may be) and Administrative Member shall provide notice thereof in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C (each, a “Capital Call Notice”) to each Member (each, a “Capital Call”). The Capital Call Notice shall specify (i) (x) the minimum aggregate amount of the Additional Capital Contributions required to be made by of all Members pursuant to such Capital Call, and (y) the maximum
53

aggregate amount of the Additional Capital Contributions that may be required to be made by all of the Members pursuant to such Capital Call, which maximum aggregate amount shall not be greater than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the minimum aggregate amount specified in such Capital Call Notice, and (z) and the pro rata portion thereof required to be contributed by each Member in accordance with the respective Capital Contribution Percentage, (ii) the date on which such Additional Capital Contributions are to be made (which shall be the twenty-fifth (25th) day (or if such date is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day) of such calendar month, and (iii) the account details for the bank account to which such Additional Capital Contributions are to be paid. Not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such Additional Capital Contributions are to be made by the Members (as designated in the Capital Call Notice), the Board shall determine the exact aggregate amount of the Additional Capital Contributions to be made by of all Members pursuant to such Capital Call (which aggregate amount may not be less than the minimum amount or greater than the maximum amount set forth in the Capital Call Notice), and Administrative Member shall deliver written notice to each Member (each, a “Supplemental Capital Call Notice”) specifying such exact aggregate amount of the Additional Capital Contributions to be made by of all Members pursuant to such Capital Call (which aggregate amount may not be less than the minimum amount or greater than the maximum amount set forth in the Capital Call Notice) and the pro rata portion thereof required to be contributed by each Member in accordance with their respective Capital Commitment Percentages, which shall be calculated as set forth below. In the event of a Capital Call, each Member shall be required to make, no later than the applicable date designated in the Capital Call Notice, an Additional Capital Contribution to the Company by wire transfer of funds to the specified account in an amount equal to the product of (A) such Member’s Capital Contribution Percentage multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of the Additional Capital Contributions to be made pursuant to such Capital Call as set forth in the Supplemental Capital Call Notice; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, other than Additional Capital Contributions required to fund Call Option Payments approved as a Fundamental Decision pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(vi), which the Members shall be obligated to fund even in excess of their respective Capital Contribution Caps, no Member shall be required to make any portion of (which may be all) of any Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to a Capital Call to the extent that it would result in the amount of Capital Contributions (excluding Superiority Contributions) made by such Member to exceed such Member’s Capital Contribution Cap.
(b) The obligations of the Members to fund Additional Capital Contributions are several (and not joint), and (i) no Member shall be responsible for any other Member’s failure to fund any Additional Capital Contribution as so required and (ii) it shall be a condition precedent to the funding of an Additional Capital Contribution by a Member that each other Member funds its required portion of such Additional Capital Contributions. In the event any Member fails to fund an Additional Capital Contribution in accordance with Section 9.3(a) within the time period required therefor, and the other Members have funded their required Additional Capital Contribution, then each other Member may elect (by written notice to the Company) to require the Company to return the amount funded by such Member.
9.4 Failure to Contribute.
(a) Upon the failure of any Member (a “Non-Contributing Member”) to pay in full all or any portion of an Additional Capital Contribution required under Section 9.3 by the date such Capital Contribution is due, if any such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after such due date then, in addition to its other rights and remedies set forth herein or otherwise provided by law, the other Member who has timely funded its Additional Capital Contribution in full (a “Contributing Member”) and has not required the Company to return its corresponding Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 9.3(b) shall be permitted (but not obligated to) fund all or a portion of the Non-Contributing Member’s Additional Capital Contribution (the “Supplemental Funding”) as set forth in this Section 9.4.
54

(b) If both (x) Figure or Investor (but not any other Member) is the Non-Contributing Member, and (y) in respect of such failure to fund described in clause (x), Figure or Investor (but not any other Member) is the Contributing Member, then the Contributing Member shall have the right to elect (by written notice to the Company) to treat the Supplemental Funding that it makes as a contribution of capital to the Company (a “Superpriority Contribution”). Any Superpriority Contribution shall earn and accrue the Superpriority Return and shall be payable from any distributions made by the Company pursuant to Section 10.6(a). No Member shall be personally obligated to repay a Superpriority Contribution, and a Superpriority Contribution shall be payable or collectible only out of the assets of the Company. If multiple Superpriority Contributions are outstanding at any time, all payments in respect of such Superpriority Contributions and the accrued and unpaid Superpriority Return thereon shall be made in reverse order based on the date when each such Superpriority Contribution was made so that the most recent Superpriority Contribution that was made as of the date that a distribution is made by the Company (together with all accrued and unpaid Superpriority Return thereon) shall be paid first and then the next most recent Superpriority Contribution (together with all accrued and unpaid Superpriority Return thereon) shall be paid and so forth. All distributions to a Contributing Member hereunder in respect of any Superpriority Contributions shall be applied first to payment of any accrued and unpaid Superpriority Return on such Superpriority Contribution and then to return such Superpriority Contribution until all amounts due thereunder or in respect thereof are paid in full.
(c) Contributing Member shall have the right to treat the Supplemental Funding as a loan (a “Member Default Loan”) to the Non-Contributing Member. Except as otherwise provided by the next sentence below, the Capital Account and Capital Contributions balance of the Non-Contributing Member shall be credited with the Defaulted Amount funded as a Member Default Loan, and such Member Default Loan shall constitute a debt owed by the Non-Contributing Member to the Contributing Member. Any Default Loan shall (i) bear interest at the Default Rate, (ii) be due on the one year anniversary of the date on which such Member Default Loan is advanced (the “Maturity Date”), (iii) be prepayable, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time without penalty, (iv) be a personal obligation of Non-Contributing Member, and (v) be payable from any distributions otherwise payable to Non-Contributing Member pursuant to Section 10.6(a) and Section 13.3(c) before any distributions are made to such Non-Contributing Member pursuant to Section 10.6(a) and Section 13.3(c). Interest on a Member Default Loan to the extent unpaid shall accrue and compound quarterly. All payments or distributions to a Contributing Member hereunder in respect of any such Member Default Loan shall be applied first to payment of any interest due under any such Member Default Loan and then to principal until all amounts due thereunder are paid in full. If a Member Default Loan remains unpaid after its maturity date set forth above, the Contributing Member who made such loan shall have the right, exercisable by providing written notice thereof to the Non-Contributing Member to convert the outstanding principal amount of such Member Default Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as a Superpriority Contribution (and in such case, (A) such Member Default Loan shall be deemed repaid on the date of such conversion and (B) the Capital Account and Capital Contributions balance of the Non-Contributing Member shall be debited with such converted amount); provided, that whether or not the Contributing Member exercises such right, the Non-Contributing Member shall not be deemed to be a Defaulting Member hereunder or to have otherwise default under the Member Default Loan as a result of any failure repay a Member Default Loan in full by the initial maturity date; provided, further, that if the Contributing Member does not elect such right, the Maturity Date shall be deemed extended by an additional one (1) year period, it being understood that any time during such one (1) year extension period, the Non-Contributing Member shall have the right to convert the outstanding principal amount of such Member Default Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as a Superpriority Contribution, in accordance with this Section 9.4(c).
(d) No Non-Contributing Member shall be entitled to receive any distributions pursuant to this Agreement unless and until (x) each Member Default Loan made to such Non-Contributing Member has been paid in full (including accrued interest thereon) and (y) each Contributing Member who
55

has made a Superpriority Contribution in respect to amounts which such Non-Contributing Member failed to fund has received the full amount of such Unreturned Superpriority Contribution and the related Superpriority Return. Distributions that otherwise would be payable to the applicable Non-Contributing Member under this Agreement shall instead be paid to the applicable Member who made a Member Default Loan to such Non-Contribution Member for application towards the repayment of any outstanding Member Default Loan (first to interest, then to principal); provided, further that such amounts repaid to the Contributing Member shall be deemed distributed to such Non-Contributing Member for all purposes under this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of reducing such Non-Contributing Member’s Capital Account, Unreturned Preferred Return, Unreturned Capital Contributions, Unreturned Superpriority Return and Unreturned Superpriority Contributions, as applicable).
9.5 Capital Account.
A separate capital account shall be maintained for each Member throughout the term of the Company in accordance with the rules of section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations (“Capital Account”) as in effect from time to time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, to which the following provisions apply:
(a) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be credited with (i) such Member’s Capital Contributions (including Additional Capital Contributions and Superpriority Contributions, if any); (ii) such Member’s share of Profits and items of income and gain as determined under the definition of “Profits” that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Article X; and (iii) to the extent not taken into account in determining the amount of such Member’s Capital Contributions under clause (i) above, the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member (other than liabilities described in Section 9.5(b)(ii) below that are assumed by such Member).
(b) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be debited with: (i) the amount of money distributed to such Member by the Company (including liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company as provided in section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c) of the Regulations) other than amounts which are in repayment of debt obligations of the Company to such Member; (ii) the Gross Asset Value of property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code); and (iii) such Member’s share of Losses and items of loss and deduction as determined under the definition of “Losses” that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Article X.
(c) All such contributions, allocations and Distributions shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, to the appropriate Capital Accounts of the respective Members to whom they apply, as of the time the contributions, allocations or Distributions are made.
(d) The Capital Account of a transferee Member shall include the appropriate portion of the Capital Account of the Member from whom the transferee Member’s interest was obtained.
(e) In determining the amount of any liability, there shall be taken into account section 752(c) of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations.
The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with section 1.704-1(b) of the Regulations, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. Consistent with such intention, the value of any property (other than cash) (i) contributed to the Company by a Member, (ii) distributed to a Member from the Company or (iii) owned by the Company and subject to a revaluation upon the occurrence of certain events shall be the Fair Market Value of such property (net of liabilities secured by such property
56

that the Company or such Member, as the case may be, is considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code) on the date of contribution, Distribution or revaluation, as applicable.
9.6 No Obligation to Restore Deficit Balance.
No Member shall be required to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account.
9.7 Interest.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to interest or other return on such Member’s Capital Contribution or on any Profits retained by the Company.
9.8 Repayment of Capital Contribution.
(a) The Board and the Company shall have no liability for the repayment of any Capital Contributions of any Member, and no Member or any of its Affiliates (or their respective Related Parties) shall have liability for the repayment of any Capital Contributions of any other Member. The repayment of any Capital Contribution shall be made only to the extent of available Company assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of its Capital Contribution or as to Distributions of cash made by the Company.
(c) No Member shall have the right to withdraw or be repaid any Capital Contribution except as provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Member shall not be entitled to (i) demand or receive assets other than cash in return for its Capital Contribution or (ii) receive any funds or assets of the Company.
ARTICLE X

10.1 Allocations of Profits and Losses.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction, of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal proportionally to the following net amount (positive or negative): (i) the Distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 10.6 or the amount for which such Member would be liable to the Company under this Agreement, if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and all of the assets owned by the Company were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 13.3(c) to the Members immediately thereafter, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.1, either Member may propose an alternative allocation of items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into account the Regulations promulgated Section 704(b) of the Code, and if agreed to by the Members, such items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company shall be allocated in accordance with such alternative allocation.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 10.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article X have been made as if Section 10.2(c) and this Section 10.2(d) were not in this Agreement.

(a) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other item allocable to any period (including allocations to take into account any transfer of any interest in the Company), Profits,
59

Losses and any such other item shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Board using any permissible method under section 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.
(b) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article X and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article X in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.
(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, the Members’ interests in Company Profits are in proportion to their respective outstanding unreturned Capital Contributions.
(d) To the extent permitted by section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the Board shall endeavor to treat Distributions as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Partner Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such Distributions would not cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Article X, an allocation of Company Profits or Losses to a Member shall be treated as an allocation to such Member of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing such Profits or Losses.
(f) For purposes of determining the character (as ordinary income or capital gain) of any Profits allocated to the Members pursuant to this Article X, such portion of Profits that is treated as ordinary income attributable to the recapture of depreciation shall, to the extent possible, be allocated among the Members in the proportion which (i) the amount of depreciation previously allocated to each Member bears to (ii) the total of such depreciation allocated to all Members. This Section 10.5(f) shall not alter the amount of allocations among the Members pursuant to this Article X, but merely the character of income so allocated.
(g) Except for arrangements expressly described in this Agreement or authorized under any Basic Securitization Document, no Member shall enter into (or permit any Affiliate of that Member to enter into) any arrangement with respect to any liability of the Company that would result in such Member (or a person related to such Member under section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) bearing the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of section 1.752-2 of the Regulations) with respect to such liability unless such arrangement has been approved by the Board. To the extent a Member is permitted to guarantee the repayment of any Company indebtedness under this Agreement, each of the other Members shall be afforded the opportunity to guarantee such Member’s pro rata share of such indebtedness, determined in accordance with the Members’ respective outstanding unreturned Capital Contributions.
10.6 Distributions.
(a) Subject to Section 13.3 and the other provisions of this Section 10.6, the Company shall make distributions of all Net Cash Flow on a monthly basis in accordance with the order of priority set forth in this Section 10.6(a).
(i) First, to each Member, pro rata, in respect of and in proportion to their respective Unreturned Superpriority Return, until each Member’s Unreturned Superpriority Return has been reduced to zero;
60

(ii) Second, to each Member, pro rata, in respect of and in proportion to their respective Unreturned Superpriority Contributions, until each Member’s Unreturned Superpriority Contributions has been reduced to zero;
(iii) Third, to each Member, pro rata, in respect of and in proportion to their respective Unreturned Preferred Return, until each Member’s Unreturned Preferred Return has been reduced to zero;
(iv) Fourth, (A) from and after a Run-Off Commencement Date, or (B) following the sale of all or any of the Company Assets pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, or (C) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, to each Member, pro rata, in respect of and in proportion to their respective Unreturned Capital Contributions, until each Member’s Unreturned Capital Contributions has been reduced to zero; and
(v) Fifth, (A) from and after a Run-Off Commencement Date, or (B) following the sale of all or any of the Company Assets pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, or (C), in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, to each Member, (x) [***] to Investor and (y) [***] to Figure.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.6(a), upon the dissolution and winding-up of the Company, the proceeds of sale and other assets of the Company distributable to the Members under Section 13.3 shall be distributed in accordance with Section 10.6(a). With the approval of the Members, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members (pro rata in proportion to the amounts otherwise distributed to the Members) under the preceding sentence may be distributed to a trust reasonably established, for a reasonable period of time, for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company Property, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any trust established under this Section 10.6(b) will be distributed to the Members from time to time by the trustee of the trust, upon approval of the Board in the same proportions as the amount distributed to the trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members under this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a Distribution (i) to any Member if such distribution would violate the Act or any other law, rule, regulation, order or directive of any Governmental Entity then applicable to the Company, (ii) to any Member if such distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party, (iii) to any Member to the extent that the Board, in its reasonable discretion, determines that any amount otherwise distributable should be retained by the Company to pay, or to establish a reserve for the payment of, any liability or obligation of the Company, whether liquidated, fixed, contingent or otherwise, or (iv) to any Member to the extent that the Board, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the cash available to the Company is insufficient to permit such distribution.
(d) The Company shall distribute to each Member, out of available Net Cash Flow of the Company, with respect to each fiscal quarter of the Company, an amount equal to such Member’s Tax Distribution for such fiscal quarter. A Member’s Tax Distribution with respect to any Fiscal Year is equal to (i) the excess of (A) the taxable income allocated to the Member for such Fiscal Year over (B) any taxable losses allocated to the Member in prior Fiscal Years that have not previously been taken into account in computing a Member’s Tax Distribution, multiplied by (ii) the Assumed Tax Rate thereafter (the “Member’s Tax Distribution”). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.6(d), if a Member has not received cumulative distributions as of the end of any Fiscal Year pursuant to this Section 10.6(d) of an amount at least equal to the Member’s Tax Distribution for such Fiscal Year, the Member shall receive, as
61

soon as practicable after the end of such Fiscal Year out of available Net Cash Flow of the Company, as determined by the Board, in priority to distributions to any other Member, the amount of such shortfall. The amount of a Member’s Tax Distribution distributed pursuant to this Section 10.6(d) shall serve as an advance against future distributions to the Member pursuant to Section 10.6. If more than one Member is entitled to a Member’s Tax Distribution, and available Net Cash Flow of the Company is insufficient to pay each Member its Member’s Tax Distribution, the Members shall share the amount available for Member’s Tax Distributions pro rata in proportion to the aggregate Member’s Tax Distributions to which they are otherwise entitled.
10.7 Amounts Withheld.
All amounts required to be withheld or tax payments required to be made by the Company pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or the Members (including, but not limited to, any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules that the Board determines is attributable to a Member and any amounts paid by the Company pursuant to section 1446(f) of the Code that the Board determines is attributable to a Member) shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 10.7 for all purposes under this Agreement. The Board is authorized to withhold from Distributions (or otherwise, including pursuant to section 1446(f)(4) of the Code), or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to any federal, state or local government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state or local law, and shall allocate any such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld. To the extent that the aggregate amount required to be withheld with respect to a Member for any period exceeds the Distributions that such Member would have received for such period but for such withholding, the Partnership Representative shall notify such Member as to the amount of such excess and such Member shall make a prompt payment to the Company of such amount, which payment shall be not be treated as a Capital Contribution.

Each Member shall give prompt notice to the Partnership Representative and to each other Member of any and all notices it receives from the United States Internal Revenue Service concerning the Company, including any notice of a thirty (30) day appeal letter and any notice of deficiency in tax concerning the Company’s federal income tax returns. The Partnership Representative shall serve in a similar capacity (or in a capacity similar to being the tax matters partner) with respect to any similar tax related or other election provided by state or local laws. The Partnership Representative shall not cause the Company to make an election under section 6221 of the Code if the Company is then eligible to make such election.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Member shall be required to (A) file amended tax returns in accordance with section 6225(c)(2) of the Code (or any similar provisions under state or local law), or (B) take any action in accordance with the “alternative procedure” pursuant to section 6225(c)(2)(B) of the Code (or any similar provisions under state or local law).

(c) The Partnership Representative shall promptly give notice to the Members of the commencement of any administrative or judicial proceeding involving the tax treatment or amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company and will use commercially reasonably efforts to keep the Members fully informed of all material developments in such proceedings. The Partnership shall not settle any administrative or judicial proceeding involving the tax treatment or amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company if such settlement would result in a materially and disproportionately adverse effect on Figure, in which event such matter shall require Figure’s prior written consent.

(vi) The Transferor and the Transferee shall have provided to the Board and/or the Member entitled to consent to such Transfer any information, documents, agreements, certificates, or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Board or the Member entitled to consent to such Transfer in order for the Board or the Member entitled to consent to such Transfer to determine whether such Transfer is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such information, documents, agreements, certificates or instruments may be reasonably requested to the extent necessary to confirm (as determined in the Board’s and/or Member’s sole and reasonable discretion) the Transferor’s and/or Transferee’s compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 7.3, and, to the extent the Transferor or Transferee is not permitted to provide (as determined in such Person’s sole and reasonable discretion) any such reasonably requested information, documents, agreements, certificates or instruments, the Transferor or Transferee (as applicable) shall provide to the Board or the Member a certification, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Board or the Member, certifying to its compliance with the requirements of Section 7.3.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior approval of the Board and the non-Transferring Member, no Transfer will be made (directly or indirectly) that, in the reasonable discretion of the Board and/or such non-Transferring Member, would or would be reasonably likely to (i) violate or conflict with the Act or any applicable law, including any federal or state securities laws (or trigger any registration requirements thereunder), (ii) cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of section 7704(b) of the Code or section 1.7704-1 of the Regulations, (iii) cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, (iv) require the Company to withhold under section 1446(f)(4) of the Code, (v) violate the terms of any financing documents or any Basic Securitization Document, (vi) cause any Subsidiary that is classified as “real estate investment trust” within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code to lose its status as “real estate investment trust”), (vii) cause the Company or any Subsidiary to be regulated under the

The Members expressly acknowledge that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the provisions concerning Transfer set forth in this Agreement. The giving of consent or approval by the Members required under this Article XII in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the need for such consent or approval in any other or subsequent instances. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XII or this Agreement to the contrary, without the prior approval of the other Members, no Member shall have the right to effect any Transfer of its Membership Interest if such Transfer would cause the Company to terminate under applicable law.
12.3 Substitute Members.
(a) No Transferee of all or any part of a Membership Interest of a Member in the Company shall be admitted to the Company as a substitute member (a “Substitute Member”) unless and until (i) the Transferee has executed a counterpart of this Agreement (as modified or amended from time to time) and such other instruments as the Board may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to confirm the undertaking of the Transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such assignment and substitution to the extent not paid by the Transferor, and (iii) the Board approves the admission of such Transferee as a member of the Company if required under Section 12.2. Unless and until a Transferee of a Membership Interest becomes a Substitute Member, such Transferee shall not be entitled to exercise any vote, consent or any other right or entitlement with respect to such Membership Interest. A Person shall be deemed admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member at the time that the foregoing provisions are satisfied. No substitution shall be recognized by the Company unless effected in accordance with and as permitted by this Agreement. Membership Interests held by a direct or indirect transferee of a Member that is not admitted to the Company as a Member with respect to such Membership Interests shall be deemed to be owned by the transferor (to the extent that the transferor is a Member as of such time).
(b) In the event of the admission of a Transferee as a Substitute Member, all references herein to the transferring Member shall be deemed to apply to such Substitute Member, and such Substitute Member shall succeed to all rights and be subject to all obligations of the transferring Member hereunder with respect to the transferred Membership Interest.
12.4 Register.
(a) Administrative Member shall cause the Company to maintain a record in its books for the purpose of registering the ownership and transfer of Membership Interests (the “Register”). The Membership Interest of each Member in the Company as of the date hereof is set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, and will be recorded in the Register. Members may make Capital Contributions to the Company from time to time as agreed to by the Board, and the Register shall be updated to reflect such activity. Upon any direct transfer of Membership Interests in the Company, Administrative Member shall cause the Company to register such transfer in the Register, to the extent, with respect to any transfer by a Member that is not Figure, Administrative Member is provided written notice thereof by the Transferring Member.
66

The Register shall include the names and addresses of the Members that are the holders of the Membership Interests. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and no transfer or assignment of a Membership Interest is effected unless such the transferee or assignee is reflected as the new holder of the transferred or assigned Membership Interest. Similarly, no new Member shall be respected as an owner of a Membership Interest unless such Member is reflected in the Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Administrative Member shall not be deemed to be in breach of an obligation to maintain and update the Register unless and until it has been notified in writing by a Member of any such non-compliance and it fails to cure such non-compliance with thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice.
(b) The Company shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered in the Register as the owner of a Membership Interest to receive distributions and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for Capital Calls a person registered on its books as the owner of a Membership Interest, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Membership Interest on the part of any other person, regardless of whether it shall have received actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

Without limitation on, but subject to, the other provisions hereof, the assignment of all or any part of a Member’s Membership Interest permitted hereunder will not result in the dissolution of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member agrees that, without the consent of all of the other Members, no Member may withdraw from or cause a voluntary dissolution of the Company. If any Member withdraws from or causes a voluntary dissolution of the Company in contravention of this Agreement, such withdrawal or the causing of a voluntary dissolution shall not affect such Member’s liability for obligations of the Company.
