under this Section
20 shall be payable from amounts allocable to any other Person pursuant

transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a member of the Company upon its
execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature

under the Basic Documents and if the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied. If the Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this
Section 22, an
additional member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company, subject to
Section 23,
upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the

Agency Condition is satisfied.
Section
24. Dissolution.
(a) Subject
to Section
9(j), the Company shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up
upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the termination of the legal
existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any

member of the Company in the Company unless the Company is continued without
dissolution in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act or (ii) the entry
of a decree of judicial dissolution under § 18-802 of the Act. Upon
the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company
to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the Member to cease to be

of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of

member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence
of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the
Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission
of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be,
as a substitute member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the
event that terminated the continued membership of the last remaining member of
the Company or the Member in the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of the Member or the
Special Member shall not cause the Member or Special Member, respectively, to
cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event,
the Company shall continue without dissolution.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Member and the Special Member
waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company
14
upon the
Bankruptcy of the Member or the Special Member, or the occurrence of an event
that causes the Member or the Special Member to cease to be a member of the
Company.
(d) In
the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are
necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the
Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in
the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in § 18-804 of the
Act.
(e) The
Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment
of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company
shall have been distributed to the Member in the manner provided for in this
Agreement and (ii) the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled in the
manner required by the Act.
Section
25. Waiver of Partition; Nature
of Interest.

otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, each of the Member and the Special Member hereby irrevocably waives any
right or power that such Person might have to cause the Company or any of its
assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any
portion of the assets of the Company, to compel any sale of all or any portion
of the assets of the Company pursuant to any applicable law or to file a
complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the
dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the
Company. The Member shall not have any interest in any specific
assets of the Company, and the Member shall not have the status of a creditor
with respect to any distribution pursuant to Section 16
hereof. The interest of the Member in the Company is personal
property.
Section
26. Benefits of Agreement; No
Third-Party Rights.
None of
the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by
any creditor of the Company or by any creditor of the Member or the Special
Member. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right
in any Person (other than Covered Persons) not a party hereto, and this
Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in
part for the benefit of any third Person (except as provided in Section
29).
Section
27. Severability of
Provisions.
Each
provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable and if for any reason
any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable
or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability
or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this
Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.
Section
28. Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.
Section
29. Binding
Agreement.

any other provision of this Agreement, the Member agrees that this Agreement,
including, without limitation, Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 29 and 31, constitutes a

Subject
to Section 9(j), this Agreement may be modified, altered, supplemented or

one and the same instrument.
Section
33. Notices.
Any
notices required to be delivered hereunder shall be in writing and personally
delivered, mailed or sent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of
rapid transmission, and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt (a)
in the case of the Company, to the Company at its address in Section 2, (b) in the

Pursuant
to § 18-201 (d) of the Act, this Agreement shall be effective as of the time of
the filing of the Certificate of Formation with the Office of the Delaware
Secretary of State on November 22, 2004.
Section
35. Tax
Treatment.
(a) It
is the intention of the Member that, for United States federal income tax
purposes, (i) at all times that the Member is the sole equity member of the
Company, the
16
Company
shall be disregarded as an entity separate from the Member and (ii) if at any
time there is more than one equity member of the Company, the Company shall be
treated as a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation. At
no time will any Member make an election to treat the Company as an association
taxable as a corporation. The Board of Directors and the officers of
the Company shall take no action pursuant to this Agreement that is inconsistent
with this treatment of the Company.
(b) In
the event that the Company is treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, the Member will serve as “tax matters person” (the “Tax Matters Person”)
of the Company pursuant to Section 6231(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.
The Tax
Matters Person shall prepare or cause to be prepared all federal, state, and
local income or other tax returns that the Trust is required to file. Within 75
days after the end of the calendar year, the Tax Matters Person shall send or
deliver to each other Member such tax information as shall be reasonably
necessary for the preparation by such Member of such Member’s federal income tax
return and state income or other tax returns.
