None of the rights or obligations of the Members set forth in this Agreement to make Capital Contributions shall be deemed an asset of the Company for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be Transferred by the Company to secure any debt or other obligation of the Company or of any of the Members.

ARTICLE III

Distributions and Allocations

3.01 General.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.01(b), Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, a Majority in Interest of the Members shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of Distributions to Members, including to decide to forego payment of Distributions in order to provide for the retention and establishment of reserves of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs of the Company (which needs may include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of the Company's obligations, including, but not limited to, present and anticipated debts and obligations, capital needs and expenses, the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses, and reasonable reserves for contingencies).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any Distribution to Members if such Distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other Applicable Law.

3.02 Priority of Distributions. After making all Distributions required for a given Fiscal Year under Section 3.03 and subject to the priority of Distributions pursuant to Section 9.03(c), if applicable, all Distributions determined to be made by a Majority in Interest of the Members pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made in the following manner:

(a) First, to the Members pro rata in proportion to their holdings of Preferred Units, until Distributions under this Section 3.02(a) equal the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions attributable to the Members in respect of their acquisitions of Preferred Units;

(b) Second, to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective amount of Capital Contributions made in connection with their acquisitions of Common Units, until Distributions under this Section 3.02(b) equal the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions attributable to the Members in respect of their acquisitions of Common Units; and

(c) Third, subject to Section 3.02(d), any remaining amounts to the Members holding Common Units pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as of the time of such Distribution.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 3.02(c), all amounts in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) paid to UABRF pursuant to Sections 5.8, 5.9 and 5.11 of the License Agreement (such excess amounts being the “UABRF Excess Payments”) shall be taken into account for, and shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of Distributions that would otherwise be payable by the Company to the holder(s) of the UABRF Units in accordance with Section 3.02(c) or Section 9.03(c)(iii), and shall accordingly reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount of Net Income that would otherwise be allocated to the holder(s) of the UABRF Units under this Agreement. The foregoing reduction in Distributions otherwise payable to holder(s) of UABRF Units shall be applied on a cumulative basis regardless of when any such UABRF Excess Payments were or are to be made. The amount of Distributions equal to the UABRF Excess Payment not otherwise payable to the holder(s) of the UABRF Units pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.02(d) shall be distributed to the other Members holding Common Units pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as of the time of such Distribution.

3.03 Tax Advances.

(a) Subject to any restrictions in any of the Company's and/or any Company Subsidiary's then applicable debt-financing arrangements, and subject to the sole discretion of a Majority in Interest of the Members to retain any other amounts necessary to satisfy the Company's and/or the Company Subsidiaries' obligations, at least five (5) days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar-year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, a Majority in Interest of the Members shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash to each Member in proportion to and to the extent of such Member's Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter (each such Distribution, a “Tax Advance”).

(b) If, at any time after the final Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount has been Distributed pursuant to Section 3.03(a) with respect to any Fiscal Year, the aggregate Tax Advances to any Member with respect to such Fiscal Year are less than such Member's Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (a “Shortfall Amount”), a Majority in Interest of the Members shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash in proportion to and to the extent of each Member's Shortfall Amount. A Majority in Interest of the Members shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute Shortfall Amounts with respect to a Fiscal Year before the 75th day of the next succeeding Fiscal Year; provided, however, that if Distributions other than pursuant to this Section 3.03 have been made with respect to such Fiscal Year, a Majority in Interest of the Members shall cause the Company to apply such Distributions to reduce any Shortfall Amount.

(c) If the aggregate Tax Advances made to any Member pursuant to this Section 3.03 for any Fiscal Year exceed such Member's Tax Amount (an “Excess Amount”), such Excess Amount shall reduce subsequent Tax Advances that would be made to such Member pursuant to this Section 3.03, except to the extent taken into account as an advance pursuant to Section 3.03(d).

(d) Any Distributions made pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as advances on Distributions pursuant to Section 3.02 and shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount otherwise Distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 3.02.

3.04 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.

(a) Tax Withholding. If requested by the Tax Matters Member, each Member shall, if able to do so, deliver to the Tax Matters Member: (i) an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Tax Matters Member that the applicable Member (or its members, as the case may be) is not subject to withholding under the provisions of any federal, state, local, foreign or other Applicable Law; (ii) any certificate that the Tax Matters Member may reasonably request with respect to any such laws; and/or (iii) any other form or instrument reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Member relating to any Member's status under such law. If a Member fails or is unable to deliver the affidavit described in this Section 3.04(a), the Tax Matters Member may cause the Company to withhold amounts from such Member in accordance with Section 3.04(b).

(b) Withholding Advances. The Company is hereby authorized at all times to make payments (“Withholding Advances”) with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as determined by the Tax Matters Member based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (a “Taxing Authority”) with respect to any Distribution or allocation by the Company of income or gain to such Member and to withhold the same from Distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a Distribution by reason of this Section 3.04(b) shall nonetheless be deemed Distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement and, at the option of the Tax Matters Member, shall be charged against the Member's Capital Account.

(c) Repayment of Withholding Advances. Any Withholding Advance made by the Company to a Taxing Authority on behalf of a Member and not simultaneously withheld from a Distribution to that Member shall, with interest thereon accruing from the date of payment at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of payment plus two percent (2.0%) per annum (the “Company Interest Rate”):

(i) be promptly repaid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made (which repayment by the Member shall not constitute a Capital Contribution, but shall credit the Member's Capital Account if the Tax Matters Member shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account); or

(ii) with the consent of the Tax Matters Member, be repaid by reducing the amount of the next succeeding Distribution or Distributions to be made to such Member (which reduction amount shall be deemed to have been Distributed to the Member, but which shall not further reduce the Member's Capital Account if the Tax Matters Member shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account).

Interest shall cease to accrue from the time the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made repays such Withholding Advance (and all accrued interest) by either method of repayment described above.

(d) Indemnification. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Managers, and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties which may be asserted by reason of the Company's failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts Distributable or allocable to such Member. The provisions of this Section 3.04(d) and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 3.04(c) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Units. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 3.04, including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.

(e) Overwithholding. Neither the Company nor any Member shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member's sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority.

3.05 Distributions in Kind.

(a) A Majority in Interest of the Members is hereby authorized, in its sole discretion, to make Distributions to the Members in the form of securities or other property held by the Company; provided, however, that Tax Advances shall only be made in cash. In any non-cash Distribution, the securities or property so Distributed will be distributed among the Members in the same proportion and priority as cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such securities or property would be distributed among the Members pursuant to Section 3.02.

(b) Any Distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as a Majority in Interest of the Members determine are required or advisable to ensure compliance with Applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, a Majority in Interest of the Members may require that the Members execute and deliver such documents as a Majority in Interest of the Members may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state securities laws that apply to such Distribution and any further Transfer of the Distributed securities, and may appropriately legend the certificates that represent such securities to reflect any restriction on Transfer with respect to such laws.

3.06 Allocations. For income tax purposes, all items of income, gain, loss, deductions and credit of the Company for any tax period shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the allocation of Net Income and Net Loss set forth in Schedule B attached hereto.

Any Manager may waive such notice as to himself.

(c) Attendance and Waiver of Notice. Attendance of a Manager at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Nothing contained in this Section 4.08 shall be construed to preclude any Manager from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving reasonable compensation for such services.

(b) This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any Manager any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company, and nothing herein should be construed to have created any employment agreement with any Manager.

The Selling Member shall have thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to consummate the Tag-along Sale, on terms not more favorable to the Selling Member than those set forth in the Tag-along Notice (which such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed forty-five (45) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required approvals or consents from any Governmental Authority). If at the end of such period the Selling Member has not completed the Tag-along Sale, the Selling Member may not then effect a Transfer that is subject to this Section 8.05 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 8.05.

(k) Transfers in Violation of the Tag-along Right. If the Selling Member sells or otherwise Transfers to the Proposed Transferee any of its Common Units in breach of this Section 8.05, then each Tag-along Member shall have the right to sell to the Selling Member, and the Selling Member undertakes to purchase from each Tag-along Member, the number of Common Units of each applicable class or series that such Tag-along Member would have had the right to sell to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 8.05, for a per Common Unit amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Common Units from the Selling Member, but without indemnity being granted by any Tag-along Member to the Selling Member; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.05(k) shall preclude any Member from seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Member as a result of its breach of this Section 8.05. The Selling Member shall also reimburse each Tag-along Member for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Tag-along Member's rights under this Section 8.05(k).

8.06 No Withdrawal. A Member shall not cease to be a Member as a result of the Bankruptcy of such Member or as a result of any other events specified in Section 18-304 of the Act. Except with respect to the LX Withdrawal, so long as a Member continues to hold any Units, such Member shall not have the ability to withdraw or resign as a Member prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company and any such withdrawal or resignation or attempted withdrawal or resignation by a Member prior to the dissolution or winding up of the Company shall be null and void. As soon as any Person who is a Member ceases to hold any Units, such Person shall no longer be a Member.

8.07 Death; Dissolution. The death or dissolution of any Member shall not cause the dissolution of the Company. In such event the Company and its business shall be continued by the remaining Member or Members and the Units owned by the deceased or dissolved Member shall automatically be Transferred to such Member's successors and assigns subject to Section 2.04(c), Section 8.01(b) and Section 8.01(c).

ARTICLE IX

Dissolution and Liquidation

9.01 Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and is affairs wound up only upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) An election to dissolve the Company made by a Majority in Interest of the Members following a determination by the JDC pursuant to Section 4.01(b) that the Company should cease development;

(b) An election by CAPS in accordance with Section 5.08 to dissolve the Company;

(d) The sale, exchange, involuntary conversion, or other disposition or Transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and the receipt of all the proceeds therefrom; or

(e) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

9.02 Effectiveness of Dissolution. Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event described in Section 9.01 occurs, but the Company shall not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been completed, the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in Section 9.03 and the Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled as provided in Section 9.05.

9.03 Liquidation. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 9.01, the Company shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Act and the following provisions:

(a) Liquidator. A Person selected by a Majority in Interest of the Members shall act as liquidator to wind up the Company (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Company's assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.

(b) Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company's assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

(c) Distribution of Proceeds. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company and Distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law:

(i) First, to the payment of all of the Company's debts and liabilities to its creditors (including Members, if applicable) and the expenses of liquidation (including sales commissions incident to any sales of assets of the Company);

(ii) Second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by a Majority in Interest of the Members in their sole discretion to be reasonably necessary for any contingent unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; and

(iii) Third, to the Members in the same manner as Distributions are made under Section 3.02.

(d) Discretion of Liquidator. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.03(c) that require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 9.03(c), if upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company's assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, Distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03(c), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such Distribution in kind will be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such Distribution, any property to be Distributed will be valued at its Fair Market Value.

9.04 Negative Capital Accounts. In the event that any Member shall have a deficit balance in his, her or its Capital Account, such Member shall have no obligation, during the term of the Company or upon dissolution or liquidation thereof, to restore such negative balance or to make any Capital Contributions to the Company by reason thereof, except as may be required by Applicable Law or in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.

9.05 Cancellation of Certificate. Upon completion of the Distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 9.03(c) hereof, the Company shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

9.06 Survival of Rights, Duties and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company for any reason shall not release any party from any Loss which at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination already had accrued to any other party or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall replace, diminish or otherwise adversely affect any Member's right to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.03.

9.07 Recourse for Claims. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all Distributions with respect to the Company, such Member's Capital Account, and such Member's share of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Liquidator, any Manager, or any other Member.

ARTICLE X

Exculpation and Indemnification

10.01 Exculpation of Covered Persons.

(a) Covered Persons. As used herein, the term “Covered Person” shall mean (i) each Member, (ii) each officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, controlling Affiliate, employee, agent or representative of each Member, and each of their controlling Affiliates, and (iii) each Manager, Officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company.

(b) Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in good faith and with the belief that such action or omission is in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Covered Person.

(c) Good Faith Reliance. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income or Net Losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) another Manager; (ii) one or more Officers or employees of the Company; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person's professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person's right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 18-406 of the Act.

10.02 Liabilities and Duties of Covered Persons.

(a) Limitation of Liability. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Covered Person. Furthermore, each of the Members and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by Applicable Law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligation of each Covered Person to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Covered Person has duties and liabilities related thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for such Covered Person's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Duties. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Covered Person's “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), the Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Covered Person desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision in such Covered Person's “good faith” or under another express standard, the Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other Applicable Law.

10.03 Indemnification.

(a) General. To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay and reimburse any Covered Person against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of:

(i) Any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company, any Member or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the foregoing in connection with the business of the Company; or

(ii) The fact that such Covered Person is or was acting in connection with the business of the Company as a partner, member, stockholder, controlling Affiliate, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, any Member, or any of their respective controlling Affiliates, or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any Person including the Company or any Company Subsidiary; provided, however, that (x) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (y) such Covered Person's conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in either case as determined by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person's conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person's conduct constituted fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.03; provided, however, that if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 10.03, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.

(c) Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 10.03 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.03 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Covered Person.

(d) Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may purchase, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person's duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the JDC may determine; provided, however, that the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company in respect of such Losses.

(e) Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 10.03 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.

(f) Savings Clause. If this Section 10.03 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 10.03 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 10.03 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(g) Amendment. The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.03 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.03 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person's entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person's prior written consent.

10.04 Survival. The provisions of this Article X shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Company.

11.04 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Certificate of Formation, the Contribution Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the Budget, each Unit Purchase Agreement, if any, and all related Exhibits and Schedules, and any other agreements or instruments referenced in any of the foregoing constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

11.08 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing executed by a Supermajority in Interest of the Members. Any such written amendment or modification will be binding upon the Company, each Manager, and each Member.

11.09 Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 11.09 shall diminish any of the explicit and implicit waivers described in this Agreement, including in Section 4.05(c), Section 5.04(e), Section 8.04(b)(ii), Section 8.05(f) and Section 11.11 hereof.

11.10 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the application, construction, validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

11.11 Arbitration. All claims, disputes and other matters in controversy (a “Dispute”) regarding any matter set forth in this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively according to the procedures set forth in this Section 11.11.

(a) If a Dispute arises relating to any matter set forth herein between or among the Company, the Members or the Managers (each, a “Party”), it is expected that the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute in an amicable and mutually satisfactory manner.

(b) In the event such efforts are unsuccessful, any Party may serve a notice of arbitration (“Notice of Arbitration”) on any other Party pursuant to Section 11.02. The Notice of Arbitration shall be dated, and without prejudice to any right under the applicable rules of arbitration permitting subsequent modifications, shall specify the claims or issues that are to be subjected to arbitration.

(c) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IN ORDER TO PROMOTE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT REASONABLY POSSIBLE A MUTUALLY AMICABLE RESOLUTION OF THE DISPUTE IN A TIMELY, EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER, THEY WILL WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND SETTLE THEIR DISPUTE BY SUBMITTING THE CONTROVERSY TO ARBITRATION TO AN ARBITRATOR OR ARBITRATION PANEL, AS APPLICABLE, SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.11(d) FOR PROCEEDINGS GOVERNED BY THE COMMERCIAL RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (A.A.A.) EXCEPT THAT ALL PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ALL DISCOVERY RIGHTS ALLOWED UNDER THE DELAWARE RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE.

(d) The Parties shall attempt to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator. If no agreement is reached within ten (10) Business Days of the Notice of Arbitration, then each Party shall select one Person to act as arbitrator, and the two so selected shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of their selection, select a third arbitrator. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within the allotted time, the each Party shall replace the Person selected to act as arbitrator, and the two so replacement arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of their selection, select a third arbitrator. This process shall be repeated until a three person arbitration panel is selected. All arbitrators shall serve as neutral, independent and impartial arbitrators. In all cases, it shall be a condition of such appointment that the arbitrator(s) can conduct all proceedings and render a decision within sixty (60) days after selection of the arbitrator or arbitrator panel, as applicable.

(e) The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq., and the judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any Party may elect to participate in the arbitration telephonically. Any substantive or procedural rights other than the enforceability of the arbitration agreement shall be governed by Delaware law, without regards to Delaware’s conflict of laws principles.

(f) The Parties further expressly agree that (i) the arbitrator(s) shall only reach his or her decision by applying strict rules of law to the facts, (ii) the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, in Maricopa County, Arizona, (iii) the Party in whose favor the arbitration award is rendered shall be entitled to recover costs and expenses of the arbitration including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and the cost and expense of administration of the arbitration proceedings, and any costs and attorney’s fees incurred in executing on or enforcing the arbitration award or, if the decision is not clearly in favor of one Party or other, such costs and expenses shall be borne as determined by the arbitrator, and (iv) the arbitral award shall be issued in Maricopa County, Arizona.

(g) Except as provided in the following sentences, no Party shall be entitled to commence or maintain any action in a court of law upon any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted and determined as provided herein and then only for the enforcement of such arbitration award. Provided that, notwithstanding this dispute resolution policy, either Party may apply to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, to seek injunctive relief before or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. The institution of any action for injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration. Judgment upon the award may be entered by the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or application may be made to any such court for the judicial acceptance of the award and order of enforcement, as the case may be, if the Arbitrator’s award or decision is not complied with within seven (7) Business Days of the Arbitrator’s decision.

(h) Arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for resolution of disputes between the Parties, including any disputes that might arise after termination of this Agreement.

11.12 Equitable Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

11.13 Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any party hereto institutes any legal suit, action or proceeding, including arbitration, against another party in respect of a matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in the suit, action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs.

11.14 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.03 to the contrary.

11.15 Counsel to LX. Counsel to LX may also be counsel to any Members or Managers. LX has engaged Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP as legal counsel to LX (“LX Counsel”). Each member of LX acknowledges that LX Counsel does not represent any such member in its capacity as a member of LX in the absence of a clear and explicit written agreement to such effect between the member and LX Counsel (and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such agreement), and that in the absence of any such agreement LX Counsel shall owe no duties directly to a member of LX. In the event any dispute or controversy arises between any member of LX and LX, then each member of LX agrees that LX Counsel may represent LX or any member of LX in any such dispute or controversy to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and each member of LX consents to such representation. Each member of LX further acknowledges that, whether or not LX Counsel has in the past represented or is currently representing such member of LX with respect to other matters, LX Counsel has not represented the interests of any member of LX in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement.

11.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of Electronic Transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member's Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(a) crediting to such Capital Account any amount which such Member is obligated to restore or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i); and

(b) debiting to such Capital Account the items described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

“Book Depreciation” means, with respect to any Company asset for each Fiscal Year, the Company's depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deductions determined for federal income tax purposes, except that if the Book Value of an asset differs from its adjusted tax basis at the beginning of such Fiscal Year, Book Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Book Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such Fiscal Year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes of an asset at the beginning of such Fiscal Year is zero and the Book Value of the asset is positive, Book Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Book Value using any permitted method selected by the Tax Matters Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(3).

“Book Value” means, with respect to any Company asset, the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

(a) the initial Book Value of any Company asset contributed by a Member to the Company shall be (i) in the case of the assets contributed on the Effective Date pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, as is set forth on Schedule A, and (ii) for all other assets, the gross Fair Market Value of such Company asset as of the date of such contribution;

(b) immediately prior to the Distribution by the Company of any Company asset to a Member, the Book Value of such asset shall be adjusted to its gross Fair Market Value as of the date of such Distribution;

(c) the Book Value of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross Fair Market Values, as determined by a Majority in Interest of the Members, as of the following times:

(i) the acquisition of an additional Membership Interest in the Company by a new or existing Member in consideration of a Capital Contribution of more than a de minimis amount;

(ii) the Distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of property (other than cash) as consideration for all or a part of such Member's Membership Interest in the Company;

B-1

(iii) the grant to a service provider of any incentive Units; and

(iv) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g);provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above need not be made if the Tax Matters Member reasonably determines that such adjustment is not necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members and that the absence of such adjustment does not adversely and disproportionately affect any Member;

(d) the Book Value of each Company asset shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted tax basis of such Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Account balances pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m); provided, however, that Book Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (d) to the extent that an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) above is made in conjunction with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (d); and

(e) if the Book Value of a Company asset has been determined pursuant to paragraph (a) or adjusted pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d) above, such Book Value shall thereafter be adjusted to reflect the Book Depreciation taken into account with respect to such Company asset for purposes of computing Net Income and Net Losses.

“Capital Account” means for each Member a separate capital account maintained by the Company on its books and records which shall be established and maintained in accordance with the Code, the Treasury Regulations and the following provisions:

(a) Each Member's Capital Account shall be increased by the amount of: (i) such Member's Capital Contributions, including such Member's initial Capital Contribution; (ii) any Net Income or other item of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Article III and this Schedule B; and (iii) any liabilities of the Company that are assumed by such Member or secured by any property Distributed to such Member.

(b) Each Member's Capital Account shall be decreased by: (i) the cash amount or Book Value of any property Distributed to such Member pursuant to Article III and Section 9.03(c); (ii) the amount of any Net Loss or other item of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Article III and this Schedule B; and (iii) the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.

In the event that any Units are Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred Units and, subject to Section B.05, shall receive allocations and Distributions pursuant to Article III, Article IX and this Schedule B in respect of such Units. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Tax Matters Member determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases to the Capital Accounts, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Tax Matters Member may authorize such modifications.

B-2

(g) any expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B), including any items treated under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) as items described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B), shall be subtracted from such taxable income or taxable loss, notwithstanding that such expenditures are not deductible for federal income tax purposes;

(h) any gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of the property so disposed, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Book Value;

(i) any items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted tax basis shall be computed by reference to the property's Book Value (as adjusted for Book Depreciation) in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g);

B-3

(j) if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted as provided in the definition of Book Value, then the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain or loss and included in the computation of such taxable income or taxable loss; and

(k) to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company property pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), 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).

“Nonrecourse Liability” has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(3).

“Regulatory Allocations” has the meaning set forth in Section B.03(d).

“Treasury Regulations” means the final or temporary regulations issued by the United States Department of Treasury pursuant to its authority under the Code, and any successor regulations.

B.02 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. For each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (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 Section B.03, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocations, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (i) the Distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 9.03(c) if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were Distributed, in accordance with Section 9.03(c), to the Members immediately after making such allocations, minus (ii) such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

B.03 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of B.02:

(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section B.03(a) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section B.03(b) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

B-4

(c) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or Distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), Net Income shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or Distributions as quickly as possible. This Section B.03(c) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Schedule B (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Income and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(e) The Company and the Members acknowledge that allocations like those described in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) (“Forfeiture Allocations”) result from the allocations of Net Income and Net Loss provided for in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is entitled to make Forfeiture Allocations and, once required by applicable final or temporary guidance, allocations of Net Income and Net Loss will be made in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) or any successor provision or guidance.

B.04 Tax Allocations.

(a) Subject to Section B.04(b) through Section B.04(e), all income, gains, losses and deductions of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses and deductions among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other Applicable Law, the Company's subsequent income, gains, losses and deductions shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other Applicable Law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the traditional method of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.

B-5

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Tax Matters Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) The Company shall make allocations pursuant to this Section B.04 in accordance with the traditional method in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(f) Allocations pursuant to this Section B.04 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, Distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

B.05 Allocations in Respect of Transferred Units. In the event of a Transfer of Units during any Fiscal Year made in compliance with the provisions of Article VIII, Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company attributable to such Units for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using the interim closing of the books method.

B.06 Curative Allocations. In the event that the Tax Matters Member determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction is not specified in this Schedule B (an “Unallocated Item”), or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members' economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “Misallocated Item”), then the Tax Matters Member may allocate such Unallocated Items, or reallocate such Misallocated Items, to reflect such economic interests; provided, however, that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be adversely and disproportionately affected thereby; and provided, further, however, that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.
