WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.05 of the Second A&R Agreement, the Agreement may be amended by a written instrument executed by Supermajority Interest; provided, however, that any amendment or restatement that is materially adverse to any Member in a manner that is disproportionate to such Member’s interest (as compared to the interest of other Members) shall, if the affected Member is not a Founding Member, require the written consent or approval of a majority of all Members similarly adversely affected;

2.    Limited Effect. Except as specified in this Amendment, all provisions, terms and conditions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
3.    Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware govern this Amendment, and this Amendment shall be construed in accordance therewith, regardless of its choice of law principles. Jurisdiction and venue for any proceeding relating to this Amendment shall be as set forth in the Agreement.
4.    Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02(a) of the Second A&R Agreement are repeated by WGL, Vega and Vega Carryco and incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, with all references therein to the Second A&R Agreement referring instead to this Amendment. Without limiting the preceding sentence, each such Party hereby represents and warrants that (a) such Party is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; (b) if required by applicable Law, such Party is duly qualified and in good standing in the jurisdiction of its principal place of business, if different from its jurisdiction of formation; and (c) such Party has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations hereunder, and all necessary actions by the board of directors, management committee, officers, managers, members, partners or other applicable Persons necessary for the due authorization, execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment by such Party have been duly taken.

Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Amendment or any such other document, shall be disregarded in determining the Party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.
