As of the date hereof, the Company shall have two classes of Membership Interests: (a) Class A Membership Interests and (b) Class B Membership Interests, which shall be the sole limited liability company interests issued and outstanding on the date hereof. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Class B Membership Interests will not entitle the Class B Members to have, and Class B Members, in their capacities as such, shall not have (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), any voting, consent or approval rights whatsoever with respect to the Company, whether arising under the Act, at law, in equity or otherwise.

3.5 Loans and Capital Contributions by Members. No Member, as such, shall be required to lend any funds to the Company or to make any contribution of capital to the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, this Agreement or any other written agreement between such Member and the Company explicitly requiring the making of capital contributions. Any Member may, with the approval of the Conflicts Committee, make loans to the Company, and any loan by a Member to the Company shall not be considered to be a Capital Contribution. Such loans shall be on such terms as shall be specified and agreed to by the Member making such loans and as shall be approved by the Conflicts Committee.

3.6 No Liability of Members.

(a) No Liability. The Members shall not be required to perform any act on behalf of the Company, incur any expense, obligation or indebtedness of any nature on behalf of the Company, or in any manner participate in the management of the Company, except as specifically contemplated hereunder. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever in such Member’s capacity as a Member, whether to the Company, to any of the other Members, to the creditors of the Company or to any other third party, for the debts, liabilities, commitments or any other obligations of the Company or for any losses of the Company.

(b) Distributions. In accordance with the Act and the Laws of the State of Delaware, a member of a limited liability company may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such member. It is the intent of the Members that no distribution to any Member pursuant to Article 5 hereof shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act. The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Member shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of the Act, and the Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return to any Person any such money or property. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

ARTICLE 4. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Initial Capital Contributions.

(a) The amount of money and the fair market value (as of the date of contribution) of any property (other than money) contributed to the Company by a Member shall constitute a Capital Contribution. Any reference in this Agreement to the Capital Contribution of a Member shall include a Capital Contribution of its predecessors in interest.

(b) Enogex Operating or its predecessor in interest has made certain Capital Contributions on or prior to the date hereof.

(c) OGE Enogex Holdings or its predecessor in interest has made certain Capital Contributions on or prior to the date hereof.

(d) No Member shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions.

4.2 Return of Contributions. Except as expressly provided herein, a Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of its Capital Contributions. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member. No Member will be required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.

4.3 Capital Accounts.

(a) A capital account shall be established and maintained for each Member. Each Member’s capital account (i) shall be increased by (A) the amount of money contributed by that Member to the Company, (B) the fair market value of property contributed by that Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code), and (C) allocations to that Member of Company income and gain (or items of income and gain), including income and gain exempt from tax and income and gain described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding income and gain described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), and (ii) shall be decreased by (A) the amount of money distributed to that Member by the Company, (B) the fair market value of property to that Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the distributed property or to which the property is subject that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code), (C) allocations to that Member of expenditures of the Company described in section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (D) allocations of Company loss and deduction (or items of loss and deduction), including loss and deduction described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding items described in clause (ii)(C) above and loss or deduction described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) or § 1.704-1(b)(4)(iii). The Members’ capital accounts also shall be maintained and adjusted as permitted by the provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and as required by the other provisions of Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-1(b)(4), including adjustments to reflect the allocations to the Members of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss as computed for book purposes rather than the allocation of the corresponding items as computed for tax purposes, as required by Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). A Member that has more than one Membership Interest shall have a single capital account that reflects all its Membership Interests, regardless of the class of Membership Interests owned by that Member and regardless of the time or manner in which those Membership Interests were acquired.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, none of the Members shall have any obligation to the Company or to any other Member to restore any negative balance in its capital account. None of the Members may withdraw capital or receive any distributions except as specifically provided in this Agreement. No interest shall be paid by the Company on any Capital Contributions except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

(c) If any Membership Interest is transferred in accordance with this Agreement, the transferee or other recipient of all or any portion of such Membership Interest shall succeed to the capital account of the transferor to the extent such capital account relates to the Membership Interest or a portion thereof so transferred.

(d) Any Member that resigns or withdraws from the Company without the prior approval of all other Members shall forfeit such Member’s interest in its capital account, and the balance of such capital account shall be allocated to the remaining Members in accordance with their Sharing Ratios calculated after taking into account the removal of the resigning or withdrawing Member.

ARTICLE 5. ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1 Allocations.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.1(b), for purposes of maintaining the capital accounts and in determining the rights of the Members among themselves, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Sharing Ratios.

(b) The following special allocations shall be made prior to making any allocations provided for in 5.1(a) above:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain (as generally defined under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1 or § 1.704-2) for a taxable year (or if there was a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a prior taxable year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior years to allocate among the Members under this subsection 5.1(b)(i)), then items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(g)(2)). It is the intent of the Members that any allocation pursuant to this subsection 5.1(b)(i) shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5, except subsection 5.1(b)(i), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as generally defined under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1 or § 1.704-2), during any taxable year, any Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated such amount of income and gain for such year (and subsequent years, if necessary) determined in the manner required by Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(i)(4) as is necessary to meet the requirements for a chargeback of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. Except as provided in subsection 5.1(b)(i) and (ii) hereof, in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Allocation Regulations, the deficit balance, if any, in its adjusted capital account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.

(iv) Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its adjusted capital account at the end of any Company taxable period in excess of the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement and the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this subsection 5.1(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its adjusted capital account after all other allocations provided in this Section 5.1 have been tentatively made as if subsection 5.1(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

(v) Company Nonrecourse Deductions. Company Nonrecourse Deductions (as determined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(c)) for any fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Membership Interests.

(vi) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions (as defined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) shall be allocated pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i) to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt to which it is attributable.

(vii) Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to the Allocation Regulations, to be taken into account in determining capital accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the capital accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to the Allocation Regulations.

(viii) Curative Allocation. The special allocations set forth in subsections 5.1(b)(i)-(vi) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with the Allocation Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.1, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members such that, to the extent possible, the net amount of allocations of such items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(c) For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise required by the Code, the Allocation Regulations or the following sentence, each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as corresponding items are allocated in Section 5.1(a). Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, solely for federal income tax purposes, items of income, depreciation, gain or loss with respect to property contributed or deemed contributed to the Company by a Member or whose value is adjusted pursuant to the Allocation Regulations shall be allocated among the Members so as to take into account the variation between the Company’s tax basis in such property and its Carrying Value in the manner provided under section 704(c) of the Code and Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3(d) (i.e. the “remedial method”).

5.2 Distributions.

(a) At least once each fiscal quarter prior to the dissolution of the Company under Article 10, the Managing Member shall determine in its reasonable judgment to what extent (if any) the Company’s cash on hand exceeds its current and anticipated needs, including, without limitation, for operating expenses, debt service, acquisitions and a reasonable contingency reserve. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2, if such an excess exists, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute to the Members, in accordance with their Sharing Ratios, an amount in cash equal to that excess.

(b) From time to time the Managing Member also may cause property of the Company other than cash to be distributed to the Members, which distribution must be made in accordance with their Sharing Ratios and may be made subject to existing liabilities and obligations. Immediately prior to such a distribution, the capital accounts of the Members shall be adjusted as provided in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to a Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law.

Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Law, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.5(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 7.5.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.5 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of Law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity.

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.5, the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of such Indemnitee’s duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable Law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.5(a); and action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such Indemnitee’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

(j) THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7.5 ARE INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF EXCULPATING THE INDEMNITEE FROM LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PERSON’S NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR OTHER CONDUCT.

7.6 Liability of Indemnitees.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company, the Members, the Managing Member or any other Person for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered in a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was criminal.

taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, 90 Days after the date of the liquidation).

ARTICLE 12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Notices. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered to the recipient in person, by courier or mail or by facsimile or other electronic transmission and a notice, request or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the Person to receive it; provided, however, that a facsimile or other electronic transmission that is transmitted after the normal business hours of the recipient shall be deemed effective on the next Business Day. All notices, requests and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the addresses given for that Member as that Member may specify by notice to the other Members. Any notice, request or consent to the Company must be given to the Managing Member. Whenever any notice is required to be given by applicable Law, the Certificates or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law, the Certificates or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

12.2 Entire Agreement; Supersedure. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their respective Affiliates relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to such subject matter, whether oral or written.

12.3 Effect of Waiver or Consent. Except as provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Except as provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or

superseded in the limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed varied or superseded if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter.
