ARTICLE III.
MANAGEMENT
MANAGEMENT
3.01 Management. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable law, the power
and authority to manage, direct and control the Company will be vested in the Board of Managers.
The Board of Managers will have full, complete and exclusive authority to manage, direct and
control the business, affairs and properties of the Company, and to perform any and all other acts
or activities customary or incident to the management of the Company’s activities. The Board of
Managers shall have the power, right and authority on behalf and in the name of the Company to
carry out any and all of the objects and purposes of the Company and to perform all acts which
the Board of Managers, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable. Unless expressly
authorized to do so by the provisions hereof or by action of the Board of Managers, no Member may
claim or exercise any authority to act, or to enter into any contract or agreement, on behalf of
the Company.
3.02 Board of Managers.
(a) Composition. There will be six (6) members of the Board of Managers. Managers
need not be Members of the Company. Three (3) Managers shall be appointed by Member and designated
as “Riverstone Managers,” and three (3) Managers shall be appointed by the Member and
designated as “Executive Managers.” As of the Effective Date, the Managers of the Company
are Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, who shall serve as the Riverstone Managers,
and Xxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxx X. Arms and I. Xxx Xxxxxxx, who shall serve as the Executive Managers.
Subject to Section 3.02(f), each Manager will hold office until his or her successor is
elected and qualified.
2
(b) Meetings; Quorum. Regular meetings of the Board of Managers may be held at such
place or places (which need not be in the State of Delaware) and at such times as may be determined
from time to time by the Board of Managers. Special meetings of the Board of Managers may be
called by any Manager on at least twenty-four (24) hours notice (which notice may be in writing or
by any oral or telephonic means which conveys actual notice) to each other Manager. At every
meeting of the Board of Managers, the presence (in person, by telephone or by proxy, which proxy
must be revocable at any time) of a majority of the total number of Managers will be necessary to
constitute a quorum; provided that the attendance of at least two Executive Managers and two
Riverstone Managers shall be required to constitute a quorum. Meetings may be held in person, by
telephone, or any other means by which the Managers can hear each other. Any Manager attending or
participating in a meeting of the Board of Managers will be deemed to have waived any notice
requirement unless his presence at such meeting was for the sole purpose of objecting to the
failure of notice.
(c) Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting. Any action permitted or required by
applicable law or this Agreement to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Managers may be taken
without a meeting if a unanimous consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is
signed by all of the Managers. Such consent will have the same force and effect as an affirmative
vote at a duly constituted meeting which is cast by those Managers who have signed the consent, and
the execution of such consent will constitute attendance or presence in person at a meeting of the
Board of Managers.
(d) Decisions Made by Vote. Each Manager shall have one vote at any meeting of the
Board of Managers. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the affirmative vote of a majority of the
Managers present at any meeting at which a quorum is present will be necessary for the adoption of
any resolution, the making of any decision, the delegation of any authority, or the taking of any
action by the Company; provided, however that, at least one Executive Manager must have voted in
favor of any action taken and at least one Riverstone Manager must have voted in favor of any
action taken.
(e) Vacancies. Vacancies in the Board of Managers occurring for any reason will be
filled by the Member. A Manager elected to fill any vacancy will hold office until the end of the
term of his predecessor and thereafter until his successor has been elected and qualified.
(f) Removal and Resignation. Any Manager may be removed, with or without cause, at
any time, by the Member. Any Manager may resign at any time, such resignation to be made in
writing and to take effect immediately on such later date as may be specified therein without
acceptance.
(g) Committees. The Board of Managers may appoint an executive committee or any other
committee or committees for any purpose or purposes to the extent permitted by law, which committee
or committees will have such powers as specified in the resolution of appointment; provided that an
equal number of Executive Managers and Riverstone Managers should be appointed to each such
committee.
3
(h) Reimbursement and Remuneration. Managers will not be compensated for acting in
such capacity, but will be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in furtherance of the business or management of the Company.
(i) Designated Observers. The Member may designate two individuals to attend the
meetings of the Board of Managers to serve as observers. Such observers are permitted to attend
meetings and receive related materials of the Board of Managers, but are not entitled to vote in
such meetings of the Board of Managers. Such observers will be entitled to reimbursement from the
Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees incurred with respect to any of their monitoring responsibilities, incurred in attending
meetings of the Board of Managers. Such observers shall maintain the confidentiality of all
information received in such capacity. The parties agree that the observers will leave for that
portion of any meeting in which legal counsel, in its reasonable opinion, deems that discussing
certain matters in the presence of the observers is likely to void the attorney client privilege
with respect to such matters.
(j) Officers. The Member may delegate its authority to act on behalf of the Company
and to manage the business affairs of the Company to one or more officers of the Company. The
officers of the Company on the date hereof are set forth on Schedule A, which is attached hereto
and made a part hereof. The Member may remove any officer at any time and may create, empower and
appoint such other officers of the Company as the Member may deem necessary or advisable to manage
the business affairs of the Company, and may do so with or without amending Schedule A.
ARTICLE IV.

4.01 Capital Contributions. The Member may make capital contributions to the Company from time to
time, but will not be required to make any capital contributions.

LIABILITY
LIABILITY
5.01 Limited Liability of the Member. The Member will have no liability for any obligations or
liabilities of the Company unless such obligations or liabilities are expressly assumed by the
Member in writing.
5.02 Indemnification. The Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Member and its
managers, members, officers and employees (the “indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, expenses and other obligations arising from proceedings in which an indemnitee is
involved by reason of the Member being the member of the Company or the managers, officers or
employees of the Member serving in such capacity, as long as (1) the indemnitee acted in good
faith, (2) there has not been a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that the indemnitee engaged in fraud, intentional
4
misconduct, knowing and willful
breach of its obligations herein or in bad faith or (3) in the case of a criminal matter, the
indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was lawful. Any indemnification shall
be satisfied solely out of property of the Company, and the Member and its members are not subject
to personal liability. The right to indemnification shall include the right to have the Company
pay, in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, the expenses incurred by the indemnitee
who is defending a proceeding, as long as the indemnitee undertakes to repay those advances if it
is determined or adjudicated to be ineligible for indemnification. The Company will purchase and
maintain manager and officer liability insurance, on terms and in an amount approved by the Board
of Managers, on behalf of any Person who is or was a manager, member or officer of the Company
against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any capacity identified in this
Agreement.
ARTICLE VI.
DISSOLUTION
DISSOLUTION
The Company will dissolve and its business and affairs will be wound up upon (1) the approval
of the Member to dissolve the Company, as long as the approval and dissolution would not constitute
an event of default under the terms of any agreement of the Company or (2) the occurrence of an
event that would cause the dissolution of the Company under the Act. Upon dissolution of the
Company, a liquidator or liquidating committee approved by the general partner, which may include
the Member or any of its officers, will wind up the affairs and make a final distribution. The
liquidator will continue to operate the properties of the Company with all of the power and
authority of the Member necessary or appropriate to liquidate the assets of the Company and apply the proceeds of the liquidation to pay or provide for the payment of all of
the debts of the Company with the balance being distributed to the Member. Upon written request of
the Member, the liquidator shall sell the Company’s leases and other properties and assets that
otherwise would be distributable to the Member at the best cash price available and distribute that
cash (after deducting all expenses reasonably relating to such sale) to the Member.

Company, whether oral or written.
8.04 Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or

Company. Unless otherwise provided herein, failure on the part of a person to complain of any act
