It is expected that no capital contributions to the Company will be necessary after the purchase of the Phase-In-Recovery Property. On or prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds, the Sole Member shall make an additional contribution to the Company in an amount equal to at least 0.50% of the initial principal amount of the Bonds or such greater amount as agreed to by the Sole Member in connection with the issuance by the Company of the Bonds, which amount the Company shall deposit into the Capital Subaccount (as defined in the Bond Indenture) established by the Bond Trustee as provided under Section 8.02(a) of the Bond Indenture. Except to the extent set forth in the preceding sentence, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Sole Member is not required to make any additional capital contributions to the Company. No capital contribution by the Sole Member to the Company will be made for the purpose of mitigating losses on Phase-In-Recovery Property that has previously

been transferred to the Company, and all capital contributions shall be made in accordance with all applicable limited liability company procedures and requirements, including proper record keeping by the Sole Member and the Company. Each capital contribution will be acknowledged by a written receipt signed by any one of the Directors. The Directors acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such additional contribution will be managed by an investment manager selected by the Bond Trustee who shall invest such amounts only in Eligible Investments (as defined in the Bond Indenture), and all income earned thereon shall be allocated or paid by the Bond Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Bond Indenture. The amounts so contributed by the Sole Member shall be credited to the Sole Member’s capital account, as provided in Section 4.3 below. The Sole Member shall have a Membership Interest of 100% of the Company.

4.3 Capital Account. The Company shall establish and maintain an individual Capital Account for the Sole Member (the “Capital Account”).

4.4 Interest on and Return of Capital Account. The Sole Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution and to receive the return of its Capital Contribution to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with the terms of, the Bond Indenture and any other applicable Basic Documents. Without limiting the intent and scope of the preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 8.02(e) of the Bond Indenture and subject to the priority of payments thereof and availability of funds, the Sole Member is entitled to receive, as a return on capital, an annual amount equal to 6.85% of 0.50% of the initial principal amount of the Bonds. Except as provided in the applicable Basic Documents, no interest shall be paid or credited to the Sole Member on its Capital Account or upon any undistributed profits left on deposit with the Company. Except as provided herein and in the applicable Basic Documents or by law, the Sole Member shall have no right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution.

ARTICLE V. ALLOCATIONS; BOOKS

5.1 Allocations of Income and Loss.

(a) Book Allocations. The net income and net loss of the Company shall be allocated entirely to the Capital Account of the Sole Member.

(b) Tax Allocations. Because the Company is not making (and will not make) an election to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Section 301.7701-3(a) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations, and because the Company is a business entity that has a single owner and is not a corporation, it shall be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes under Section 301.7701-3(b)(1) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company for all taxable periods will be treated for federal income tax purposes, and for state and local income and other tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable law, as realized or incurred directly by the Sole Member. To the extent not so permitted, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated entirely to the Sole Member as permitted by applicable tax law, and the Sole Member shall pay (or indemnify the Company, the Bond Trustee and each of their officers, managers, employees or agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against its payment of) any taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Company’s property or assets based on existing law as of the date hereof, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, personal property, privilege, franchise or license taxes (but excluding any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of such Person to properly withhold or remit taxes imposed with respect to payments on any Bond). The Bond Trustee (on behalf of the secured parties provided in the Granting Clause of the Bond Indenture) shall be a third party beneficiary of the Sole Member’s obligations set forth in this Section 5.1(b), it being understood that Bondholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights against the Sole Member under this Section 5.1(b) solely through a cause of action brought for their benefit by the Bond Trustee.

(c) Company to be Disregarded for Tax Purposes. The Company shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Code and the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder in the manner necessary to effect the intention of the parties that the Company be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a disregarded entity that is not separate from the Sole Member pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-1 et seq. and that the Company be accorded such treatment until its dissolution and termination pursuant to Article VII hereof and shall take all actions, and shall refrain from taking any action, required by the Code or U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder in order to maintain such status of the Company. In addition, for federal income tax purposes, the Company

may not claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or premium, if any, or interest payable in respect of, the Bonds (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or other tax laws) or assert any claim against any present or former Bondholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Phase-In-Recovery Property Collateral.

5.1 Books of Account. At all times during the continuance of the Company, the Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained full, true, complete and correct books of account in accordance with GAAP, using the fiscal year and taxable year of the Sole Member. In addition, the Company shall keep all records required to be kept pursuant to the Act.

5.2 Distributions. To the extent permitted under the Bond Indenture and subject to the terms thereof, the Company may make distributions to the Sole Member from time to time upon the unanimous vote of the Management Committee. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to the Sole Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or any other applicable law or any of the Basic Documents.

5.3 Access to Accounting Records. All books and records of the Company shall be maintained at any office of the Company or at the Company’s principal place of business, and the Sole Member and its duly authorized representative shall have access to them at such office of the Company and the right to inspect and copy them at reasonable times.

5.4 Annual Tax Information. The Directors shall cause the Company to deliver to the Sole Member all information necessary for the preparation of the Sole Member’s federal income tax return.

ARTICLE VI. MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

6.1 Management of Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the property and business of the Company shall be controlled and managed by the Management Committee provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Officers acting alone can bind or execute any instrument on behalf of the Company, and may sign all checks, drafts, and other instruments obligating the Company to pay money. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 18-402 of the Act, except as provided in this Agreement, a Director may not bind the Company. The initial directors shall be those individuals listed on Schedule 6.1 from time to time attached hereto. The Sole Member may revise Schedule 6.1 in its sole discretion at any time. Prior to the entry into any Sale Agreement and the acquisition of any Phase-In-Recovery Property, the Sole Member shall appoint two Independent Directors. In the event that an Independent Director resigns or is removed as Independent Director, the Sole Member shall appoint, as soon as reasonably practicable, a successor Independent Director. No resignation or removal of an Independent Director, and no appointment of a successor Independent Director, shall be effective until such successor (i) shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Director by a written instrument, and (ii) shall have executed a counterpart to the Management Agreement. The Company shall give written notice to each applicable Rating Agency of any resignation or replacement of any Independent Director promptly following such resignation or replacement. The Company shall pay each Independent Director an annual fee totaling not less than $[ ] and not more than $[ ] per year. Each Director, including each Independent Director, is hereby deemed to be a “manager” within the meaning of Section 18-101(10) of the Act.

6.2 Powers of the Directors. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Directors shall have the right and authority to take all actions which the Directors deem incidental, necessary, suitable or convenient for the day-to-day management and conduct of the Company’s business.

No Independent Director may delegate his or her duties, authorities or responsibilities hereunder. If any Independent Director resigns, dies or becomes incapacitated, or such position is otherwise vacant, no action requiring the affirmative vote of all of the Directors shall be taken until a successor Independent Director is appointed by the Sole Member and qualifies and approves such action.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, and notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the Independent Directors shall consider only the interests of the Company, including its creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Section 2.7. Except for

duties to the Company as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (including duties to the Sole Member and the Company’s creditors solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in the Company but excluding (i) all other interests of the Sole Member, (ii) the interests of other Affiliates of the Company, and (iii) the interests of any group of Affiliates of which the Company is a part), the Independent Directors shall not have any fiduciary duties to the Sole Member, any Director or any other Person bound by this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, an Independent Director shall not be liable to the Company, the Sole Member or any other Person bound by this LLC Agreement for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties), unless the Independent Director acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct.

No Independent Director shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Directors may exercise all powers of the Company and do all such lawful acts and things as are not prohibited by the Act, other applicable law or this Agreement or directed or required to be exercised or done by the Sole Member. All duly authorized instruments, contracts, agreements and documents providing for the acquisition or disposition of property of the Company shall be valid and binding on the Company if executed by one or more of the Directors.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (x) no meeting or vote with respect to any action described in clauses (b), (c) or (h) of Section 2.7 or any amendment to any of the Special Purpose Provisions (defined below) shall be conducted unless each Independent Director is present and (y) neither the Company nor the Sole Member, any Director or any officer on behalf of the Company shall (i) take any action described in clauses (b), (c) or (h) of Section 2.7 or (ii) adopt any amendment to any of the Special Purpose Provisions unless each Independent Director has consented thereto. The vote or consent of an Independent Director with respect to any such action or amendment shall not be dictated by the Sole Member or any other Director or officer of the Company.

6.3 Withdrawal of Director. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Independent Director may not withdraw or resign as a Director of the Company without the consent of the Sole Member.

6.4 Removal of Director. Subject to Section 6.1, a Director (including an Independent Director) may be removed or replaced at any time, with or without cause, upon the written election of the Sole Member.

6.5 Quorum: Acts of the Management Committee. At all meetings of the Management Committee, a majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided in any other provision of this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Management Committee. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Management Committee, the Directors present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. The Directors may participate in meetings of the Management Committee by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment that allows all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. If all the participants are participating by telephone conference or similar communications equipment, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the principal place of business of the Company. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Management Committee or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the Directors having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Directors are present. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, on any matter that is to be voted on by Directors, the Directors may vote in person or by proxy.

6.6 Officers. The Management Committee may, from time to time as it deems advisable, appoint officers of the Company (the “Officers”) and assign in writing titles (including President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) to any such person. Unless the Management Committee decides otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 6.6 may be revoked at any time by the Management Committee.

The Officers shall be those individuals listed on Schedule 6.6 from time to time attached hereto. The Management Committee may revise Schedule 6.6 in its sole discretion at any time.

ARTICLE VII. DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND WINDING-UP

7.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (i) subject to Section 2.7, the election to dissolve the Company made in writing by the Sole Member and each Director, including each Independent Director, as permitted by the Basic Documents, (ii) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining 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 (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 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 Sole Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon an assignment by the Sole Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the prior admission of the transferee pursuant to Article VIII), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such 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 Sole Member in the Company.

7.2 Accounting. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation and winding-up of the Company, a proper accounting shall be made of the Capital Account of the Sole Member and of the net income or net loss of the Company from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of dissolution.

7.3 Certificate of Cancellation. As soon as possible following the dissolution of the Company, and the completion of the winding up of the Company, the Person winding up the business and affairs of the Company shall cause to be executed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate in such form as shall be prescribed by the Secretary of State and file the Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate as required by the Act.

7.4 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Sole Member shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall take full account of the liabilities of the Company and its assets, shall either cause its assets to be sold or distributed, and if sold as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as provided in Section 7.5.

7.5 Order of Payment of Liabilities Upon Dissolution. After determining that all debts and liabilities of the Company, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities of the Company, and including, debts and liabilities to the Sole Member in the event it is a creditor of the Company to the extent otherwise permitted by law, have been paid or adequately provided for, the remaining assets shall be distributed in cash or in kind to the Sole Member.

7.6 Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Sole Member shall be entitled to look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its positive Capital Account balance and shall have no recourse for its Capital Contribution and/or share of net income (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any Director or the Management Committee.

ARTICLE VIII. TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT

8.1 Transfer of Membership Interests.

(a) The Sole Member may transfer its Membership Interest, but the transferee shall not be admitted as a member of the Company except in accordance with Section 8.2. Until the transferee is admitted as a

member of the Company, the Sole Member shall continue to be the sole member of the Company and to be entitled to exercise any rights or powers of the Sole Member with respect to the Membership Interest transferred.

(b) Any purported transfer of any Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be wholly void and shall not effectuate the transfer contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Sole Member may not transfer any Membership Interest in violation of any provision of this Agreement or in violation of any applicable Federal or state securities laws.

8.2 Admission of Transferee as Member. A transferee of a Membership Interest desiring to be admitted as a member of the Company must execute a counterpart of, or an agreement adopting, this Agreement and shall not be admitted without the unanimous affirmative vote of the Management Committee, which vote must include the affirmative vote of the Independent Directors. If the Sole Member transfers all of its Membership Interest pursuant to this Article VIII, such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. Upon admission of the transferee as a member, the transferee shall have, to the extent of the Membership Interest transferred, the rights and powers and shall be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of the Sole Member under this Agreement and the Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to the Sole Member by merger or consolidation in compliance with the Basic Documents shall, without further act, be the Sole Member hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute a transfer for purposes of this Agreement.

9.4 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

ARTICLE X. EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Exculpation and Indemnification.

(a) Neither the Member nor the Special Member nor any Officer, Director, employee or agent of the Company nor any employee, representative, agent or Affiliate of the Sole Member or the Special Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be personally liable to the Company or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act taken or omission made by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions. Any indemnity under this Article X by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Sole Member and the Special Member shall not have personal liability on account thereof; provided, however, that so long as any Bonds are Outstanding, no indemnity payment from funds of the Company (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this Article X shall be payable from amounts allocable to any other Person pursuant to the Basic Documents.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person 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 Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article X.

(d) 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 presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Sole Member might properly be paid.

(e) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sole Member, the Springing Member and the Special Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

10.2 Consolidation/Merger. For purposes of this Article, references to “the Company” shall include, in addition to the Company, any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its members, partners, managers, directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent company as a member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving company as he would have with respect to such constituent company if its separate existence had continued.

10.3 Heirs, Executors, and Administrators. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Covered Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Covered Person.
