Interests, the Series A Preferred Units and Series B Common Units.
(ii) The total number of Units authorized for issuance by the

Units and 4,721,250 shall be designated Series B Common Units.

---------------------
solely to those Persons identified as Class B Members on Exhibit B. The Company
shall enter into an agreement (the "Zhone Securities Repurchase Agreement") in
the form of Exhibit D, with each of the Class B Members, providing the Company
with the option (the "Repurchase Option") to repurchase all or a portion of the
Class B Member's "Unvested Interest" as defined in that agreement and on the

Interest and Series B Common Units of such Class B Member attributable to such
Unvested Interest immediately prior to the exercise of the Repurchase Option
shall, subject to Section 3.2(b):
(i) if such Class B Member is not a Founder or an Affiliate of a
Founder, be allocated among the remaining Class B Members who are Founders, pro
rata based on their respective Adjusted Percentage Interests at such time; or
(ii) if such Class B Member is a Founder or an Affiliate of a
Founder, be allocated among the Class A Member and the remaining Class B Members
who are Founders, pro rata based on their respective Adjusted Percentage
Interests at such time.
(c) Series A Preferred Units.
------------------------
(i) Series A Preferred Units shall be issued to the Class A
Members as provided on Exhibit A.
(ii) If a Class A Member's commitment to make Capital
Contributions (the "Capital Contribution Commitment") as set forth on Exhibit A
is $1,000,000 or more, such Class A Member shall be a "Major Class A Member" and
one fifth (1/5/th/) of such Commitment shall be paid to Zhone by the Major Class
A Member on behalf of the Company in accordance
10
with Section 2.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The balance of the Major Class
A Member's Capital Contribution Commitment shall be paid by the Major Class A
Member to Zhone in one or more installments on behalf of the Company within
twelve (12) business days of a Stock Purchase Agreement Capital Call given by
the Zhone Board to the Company and the Major Class A Member. Any amounts paid by
the Major Class A Member to Zhone pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement Capital
Call shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as a Capital
Contribution made by the Major Class A Member to the Company.
(iii) If a Class A Member's Capital Commitment as set forth on
Exhibit A is less than $1,000,000, the entire amount of such Capital Commitment
shall be contributed to the Company by the Class A Member on execution of this
Agreement. For purposes of Section 1.3 of this Agreement (relating to the
calculation of Adjusted Percentage Interest) and 1.12 of this Agreement
(relating to Basic Threshold Return) only, the Capital Contributions of Class A
Members described in the first sentence of this Section 3.1(c)(iii) shall be
deemed to be 1/5 of the total Capital Contributions of such Class A Members,
plus the same portion of such Class A Members' Capital Commitment, as such
amount may increase from time to time, that such Class A Member would have been
obligated to contribute to the Company pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
Capital Call given by the Zhone Board to the Company and the Major Class A
Members, if such Class A Member had instead been subject to the same Capital
Contribution funding procedure of Major Class A Members as set forth in Section
3.1(c)(ii). The Capital Contributions of Class A Members described in the first
sentence of this Section 3.1(c)(iii) which are not treated as Capital
Contributions for purposes of Sections 1.3 and 1.12, shall be referred to as a
"Deposit." The Deposit shall be deposited by the Manager in an interest bearing
savings or money market account. The Deposit shall be withdrawn by the Manager
to the extent necessary to satisfy the pro rata obligations of the Class A
Members described in the first sentence of this Section 3.1(c)(iii) pursuant to
a Stock Purchase Agreement Capital Call by the Zhone Board to the Company, and
contributed by the Manager on behalf of such Class A Members to Zhone.
(iv) The Series A Preferred Units shall not be redeemable and
shall not be convertible into any other Class.
(d) Series B Common Units. Series B Common Units shall initially be
---------------------
issued to Class B Members at $.001 per Series B Common Unit. The purchase price
for the Series B Common Units shall be paid by contributions to the Company by
the initial Class B Members of Common Stock as set forth in Exhibit B.
Section 3.2 Issuance of Additional Units; Admission of New Members. No
------------------------------------------------------
Class B Member shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions.
The Class A Members shall make such additional Capital Contributions based on
their respective Series A Preferred Units (the "Additional Contributions") as
determined by a Majority Interest to be necessary for the Company to meet its
ordinary and necessary administrative and accounting expenses. The Company may
at any time:
(a) admit new Members as determined by a Majority Interest, and
11
(b) reissue Series B Common Units reacquired pursuant to the exercise
of a Repurchase Option, on such terms and conditions as may be approved by the
Zhone Board Super Majority and a Class B Majority.
Section 3.3 Delinquency.
-----------
(a) If a Major Class A Member fails to make a payment to Zhone under
Section 3.1(c) by the "Delinquency Date" (which date shall be twelve (12)
business days after notice of the Stock Purchase Agreement Capital Call is
deemed given under the Stock Purchase Agreement), such payment shall thereafter
be a "Delinquent Payment" and the Major Class A Member shall thereafter be
"Delinquent."
(b) If a Major Class A Member is Delinquent:
(i) The Zhone Board shall give all Affiliated Class A Members
notice (the "Affiliated Class A Members Notice") of that fact within five (5)
days of the Delinquency Date;
(ii) Each Major Class A Member grants each Affiliated Class A
Member the option (the "CYA Option") to acquire the same percentage (the "CYA
Percentage") of the Delinquent Percent as of the Delinquency Date of the
Delinquent Major Class A Member's Adjusted Percentage Interest, Series A
Preferred Units, share of the Adjusted Unreturned Class A Member's Capital
Contribution and Basic Threshold Return (collectively the "Delinquent's
Interest") as the amount of such Affiliated Class A Member's capital
contribution commitment to an Affiliated LLC bears to the aggregate capital
contribution commitments of all Affiliated Class A Members to all Affiliated
LLCs;
(iii) Within three (3) business days of the Affiliated Class A
Members Notice, each Affiliated Class A Member shall notify the remaining
Affiliated Class A Members and the Zhone Board whether the Affiliated Class A
Member will or will not exercise its CYA Option. Failure by an Affiliated Class
A Member to give that notification within such three (3) business day period
will be deemed a notice of non-exercise of the Affiliated Class A Member's CYA
Option. Each Affiliated Class A Member giving notice pursuant to this Section
3.3(b)(iii) that it will exercise its CYA Option is referred to as a "CYA
Person";
(iv) If an Affiliated Class A Member does not exercise its CYA
Option, the CYA Persons shall have the right within fifteen (15) business days
after the Affiliated Class A Member Notice to exercise the CYA Option of such
Affiliated Class A Member pro rata based on their respective capital
contribution commitments to an Affiliated LLC or as they may otherwise agree;
(v) Exercise of the CYA Option of a CYA Person shall be by tender
of the CYA Person within the fifteen (15) business day period described in
Section 3.3(b)(iv) of the CYA Person's percentage, as determined pursuant to
Sections 3.3(b)(ii) and/or (iv), (the "CYA Share") of the Delinquent Payment to
Zhone, together with an agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Zhone
Board and a Class B Majority, to assume such CYA Person's CYA Share of the
entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Major Class A
Member (net of the Delinquent Payment);
12
(vi) If the aggregate of the tenders described in Section
3.3(b)(v) equals the Delinquent Payment and the aggregate of the assumptions
described in Section 3.3(b)(v) equals the entire unpaid Capital Contribution
Commitment of the Delinquent Class A Member (net of the Delinquent Payment),
then:
(A) Each CYA Person exercising its CYA Option shall be
admitted to the Company as a Special Class A Member in place of the Delinquent
Major Class A Member with respect to the product of:
(I) the percentage of which such CYA Person's CYA
Share is of all CYA Person's Shares, and
(II) the Delinquent's Interest;
(B) the Capital Contribution Commitment of each CYA Person
as a Special Class A Limited Partner shall be the aggregate amount of its
tender, assumption and CYA Share of the Delinquent Percent of the Delinquent
Major Class A Member's share of the Adjusted Unreturned Class A Members' Capital
Contribution as of the Delinquency Date; and
(C) the Delinquent Major Class A Member's share of the
Delinquent's Interest shall be reduced to reflect the share of that Interest
transferred to all CYA Persons under Section 3.3(b)(vi)(A);
(D) At the direction of one or more of such CYA Persons,
the Manager shall cause the Company to commence action against the Delinquent
Major Class A Member pursuant to Section 10.13 to collect the entire unpaid
Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Major Class A Member as of the
Delinquency Date plus interest at the rate charged from time to time by the Bank
of America for prime corporate borrowers plus two percent (but not in excess of
the maximum rate allowed by applicable law), plus the expenses of collection,
including attorney's fees; and
(E) All of the decision, direction and approval rights
which the Delinquent Major Class A Member was entitled to exercise under this
Agreement immediately before the Delinquency Date shall be exercised by CYA
Persons acquiring a majority of the Series A Units transferred to the CYA
Persons from the Delinquent Major Class A Member pursuant to Section
3.3(b)(vi)(A);
(vii) Not withstanding the prior provisions of this Section
3.3(b), unless the aggregate of the tenders described in Section 3.3(b)(v)
equals the Delinquent Payment and the aggregate of the assumptions described in
Section 3.3(b)(v) equals the entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of
the Major Delinquent Class A Member (net of the Delinquent Payment), Section
3.3(c) shall apply and the prior provisions of this Section 3.3(b) shall not
apply.
(c) If pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(vii), this Section 3.3(c) applies
then a Class B Majority may in its sole discretion, elect any of the following
alternatives by notice to the Delinquent Major Class A Member and to Zhone
within 120 days after the Delinquency Date:
13
(i) To direct the Manager to cause the Company to commence an
action against the Delinquent Major Class A Member pursuant to Section 10.13 to
collect the entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent
Major Class A Member as of the Delinquency Date plus interest at the rate
charged from time to time by the Bank of America for prime corporate borrowers
plus two percent (but not in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable
law), plus the expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees; or
(ii) To cause one or more designees of a Class B Majority to
assume the entire unpaid balance of the Capital Contribution Commitment of the
Delinquent Major Class A Member (in which event the Delinquent Major Class A
Member shall not be permitted to make any further Capital Contributions to the
Company) on such terms and conditions, as determined by a Class B Majority and
the Zhone Board, including but limited to, amending this Agreement to admit such
designee as a Special Class A Member and in any such amendment diluting and
subordinating the priorities of the interest of the Delinquent Major Class A
Member in Company Income and distributions (as reduced pursuant to Section
3.3(b)) to the interests of any or all of such designee and the Class B Members.
(d) The alternatives in Sections 3.3(a), (b) and (c) are in addition
to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of Zhone, the Company, the
Affiliated Class A Members and the Class B Members. Furthermore, if a Major
Class A Member is Delinquent, thereafter notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement:
(i) "Adjusted Post Cover Date Shortfall" under this Agreement
shall be calculated as though the Delinquent Major Class A Member had made no
Capital Contributions to the Company and such Delinquent Major Class A Member
shall not share in any distributions or Income allocations of or related to an
Adjusted Post Cover Date Shortfall;
(ii) "Basic Threshold Return" under this Agreement shall be
calculated as though the Delinquent Major Class A Member had made no Capital
Contributions to the Company and such Delinquent Major Class A Member shall not
share in any distributions or Income allocations of or related to a Basic
Threshold Return;
(iii) "Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall" under this
Agreement shall be calculated as though the Delinquent Major Class A Member had
made no Capital Contributions to the Company and such Delinquent Major Class A
Member shall not share in any distributions or Income allocations of or related
to a Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall;
(iv) "Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall" under this
Agreement shall be calculated as though the Delinquent Major Class A Member had
made no Capital Contributions to the Company and such Delinquent Major Class A
Member shall not share in any distributions or Income allocations of or related
to a Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall; and
(v) If Section 3.3(c) applies:
For all purposes of calculating the Adjusted Percentage
Interest of the Members:
14
(A) the Capital Contributions of the Delinquent Major Class
A Member shall be deemed to be 25% of the amount of the actual Capital
Contributions of the Delinquent Major Class A Member as of the Delinquency Date,
(B) a member of Series A Preferred Units equal to: (I) the
Special Delinquent Percent multiplied by (II) the Major Class A Member's Series
A Preferred Units, shall no longer be outstanding Series A Units, and
(C) the Company shall transfer to Zhone the Special
Delinquent Percent of the Preferred Stock for $100.
Section 3.4 Appropriateness of Remedies. To the extent any of the
---------------------------
remedies available against a Delinquent Class A Member under Section 3.3 results
or is deemed to result in the recovery of damages by the Company and/or the
Class B Members, the Delinquent Class A Member agrees that the damage recovery
is an appropriate amount of liquidated damages for the delinquency. The Members
acknowledge that determining the actual damages now or at the time the Class A
Member becomes Delinquent would be impossible, and the remedies in this Section
represent a reasonable liquidated damage allowance for the failure by the
Delinquent Class A Member to make a Capital Contribution when required.
Section 3.5 No Interest; Return of Contributions. Except as set forth in
------------------------------------
Section 5.6 below, no Member shall be entitled to receive any interest on the
Member's Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
no Member shall have the right to receive the return of any Capital Contribution
or withdraw from the Company, except upon the dissolution of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any remaining Deposit (plus accrued interest)
shall be refunded to the Class A Members described in the first sentence of
Section 3.1(c)(iii), in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions,
upon the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement Capital Call provisions
described in Section 2.2(e) of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
Section 3.6 Capital Account.
---------------
(a) The Company shall establish and maintain a separate account (the
"Capital Account") for each Member. The initial balance of the Capital Account
for each Member shall be such Member's initial Capital Contribution to the
Company. The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) the
dollar amount of any additional cash contributions made by such Member, (ii) the
fair market value of any property (other than cash) contributed to the Company
by such Member (net of liabilities to which such property is subject), and (iii)
allocations to such Member of its share of Income. The Capital Account of each
Member shall be decreased by (i) the dollar amount of any cash distributions
made to such Member, (ii) the fair market value of any property distributed to
such Member (net any liabilities to which such property is subject), and (iii)
allocations to such Member of its share of Losses.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the foregoing provisions of paragraph (a) regarding the maintenance of
Capital Accounts shall be construed so as to comply with the provisions of the
Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to section 704 of the Code. The
Manager is hereby authorized with the approval of a Majority
15
Interest to modify the foregoing provisions to the minimum extent necessary to
comply with such Treasury Regulations.
Section 3.7 Loans. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.6
-----
and with the prior approval of a Majority Interest, a Member may lend money to
and transact other business with the Company; provided that the terms of such
loan are no less favorable to the Company than those that could reasonably be
obtained by the Company in an arms-length transaction negotiated with an
unrelated third party. Any permitted loan to the Company made by a Member shall
not entitle the lending Member to any greater share of Company distributions or
subject the lending Member to any greater proportionate allocation of Company
Income or Losses. The amount of any such loan or advance shall be a debt owed
by the Company to the lending Member on the terms agreed to by the Managers.
Subject to other applicable law, such Member has the same rights and obligations
with respect thereto as a Person who is not a Member.
SECTION IV
MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Section 4.1 Election of the Manager. The Company shall have one (1)
-----------------------
Manager who shall be the Person identified in Section 1.40. Unless the Manager

elected and qualified as provided in Section 4.1(c).
(a) The Manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to
the Members, without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company under any
contract to which the Manager is a party. The resignation of the Manager shall
take effect upon receipt of that notice or at such later time as shall be
specified in the notice. Unless otherwise specified in the notice, the
acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The
resignation of a Manager who is also a Member shall not affect the Manager's
rights as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of a Member.
(b) The Manager may be removed:
(i) at any time, with or without cause, by notice from a Class
A Majority;
(ii) by notice from a Class B Majority for failure of the
Manager to take any action which a Class B Majority alone is entitled to direct
the Manager to take under this Agreement, within two (2) days of such direction.
In the event of any such failure, a Class B Majority shall, whether or not it
gives such notice, have the authority to cause the Company to take the directed
action.
(c) Any vacancy occurring for any reason in the position of Manager
shall be filled by the affirmative vote or written consent of a Majority
Interest.
Section 4.2 Management of the Company by the Manager.
----------------------------------------
(a) Subject to Sections 3.3, 4.1, 4.2(b) and (c), the business and
affairs of the Company shall be managed exclusively by the Manager, as directed
by a Majority Interest, and
16
the Manager shall have the power pursuant to such direction to do any and all
acts necessary or convenient to or for the furtherance of the purposes of the
Company described herein.
(b) (i) All decisions/voting/ control rights which by the terms of
the Preferred Stock, the provisions of any organizational document of Zhone, any
agreement to which Zhone is a party or any applicable law, may be exercised by
the holder of the Preferred Stock, including decisions as to conversion and all
determinations as to the disposition of the Preferred Stock, will (other than on
the occurrence of an event described in Section 8.1(e)) be exercised on behalf
of the Company by a Class A Majority directly or at a Class A Majority's
direction, by the Manager; provided that such Class A Majority may not cause the
Company, without the consent of the Class A Member of Zhone Investors I L.L.C.
(as defined in the Operating Agreement of Zhone Investors I L.L.C.) and the
Class A Member of Zhone Investors II L.L.C. (as delivered in the Operating
Agreement of Zhone Investors II L.L.C.), to dispose of:
(A) a greater percentage of Preferred Stock as of any
date (on a cumulative basis from the date of this Agreement) than
(B) the percentage of "Preferred Stock" ( as defined in
the respective Operating Agreements of Zhone Investors I L.L.C. and Zhone
Investors II L.L.C.) which as of such date has been collectively disposed of by
Zhone Investors I L.L.C. and Zhone Investors II L.L.C..
(iii) All decisions/voting/control rights which by the terms of
the Common Stock, the provisions of any organizational document of Zhone, any
agreement to which Zhone is a party or any applicable law, may be exercised by
the holder of the Common Stock and all determinations as to the disposition of
the Common Stock (other than on the occurrence of an event described in Section
8.1(e)) will be exercised on behalf of the Company by a Class B Majority
directly, or at the direction of a Class B Majority, by the Manager. Such Class
B Majority may not, however, without the consent of the Class A Member of Zhone
Investors I L.L.C. and Zhone Investors II L.L.C. cause the Company to dispose of
a greater percentage of Common Stock as of any date (on a cumulative basis from
the date of this Agreement) than the percentage of the "Preferred Stock" (as
defined in the Operating Agreements of Zhone Investors I L.L.C. and Zhone
Investors II L.L.C.) as of such date on a cumulative basis from the date of this
Agreement which has been disposed of by both of Zhone Investors I L.L.C. and
Zhone Investors II L.L.C. as of such date. In no event, however, may such
percentage of Common Stock exceed the percentage which the aggregate number of
Series B Common Units which have then vested under one or more of the Zhone
Securities Repurchase Agreements between the Company and the Class B Members is
of all Series B Common Units issued pursuant to all such Agreements.
(iv) The Manager shall exercise the voting rights of the
Securities held by the Company in accordance with the directions of the Class A
Majority or a Class B Majority, pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i) or Section
4.2(b)(ii) as applicable.
(c) A Class A Majority shall have the sole right to determine whether
the Company shall exercise any of the registration rights to which the Company
is entitled to exercise with respect to the Preferred Stock under the "Rights
Agreement" in the form of
17
Exhibit E and to make all decisions on behalf of the Company relating to
registration rights, including, but not limited to the amount of Preferred Stock
to be included in any registration pursuant to the Rights Agreement. A Class A
Majority may act directly on behalf of the Company with respect to such exercise
or direct the Manager with respect to such exercise.
Section 4.3 Performance of Duties; Liability of Manager. The Manager
-------------------------------------------
shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for any loss or damage
sustained by the Company or any Member and attributable to any act or failure to
act by the Manager, unless the Manager has failed to comply with the good faith
standard of this Section 4.3 or the loss or damage shall have been the result of
fraud, deceit, reckless or intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of law
by the Manager. The Manager shall perform the Manager's managerial duties in
good faith, in a manner the Manager reasonably believes to be in the best
interests of the Company, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as
an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar
circumstances. A Manager who so performs the duties of Manager shall not have
any liability by reason of being or having been a Manager of the Company.
Section 4.4 Devotion of Time. The Manager, in the capacity as Manager,
----------------
shall devote whatever time, and effort as a Class A Majority reasonably deems
appropriate for the operation of the Company.

----------
dissolution of the Company, the Members, the Manager and any Affiliates of the
Members or the Manager may engage or invest, independently or with others, in

similar to the Company's business or that is in direct or indirect competition
with the Company's business, including by way of example but not by way of
limitation, investing in any Securities.
(b) Business Opportunities. The Members, the Manager and any
----------------------
Affiliates of the Members or the Manager shall not be obligated to present any

business and, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company.

may not, and may not cause the Manager's Affiliates to, and shall cause such
Affiliate to not engage in any transaction (including, without limitation, the

service; the borrowing or lending of money; or the establishment of any salary,
other compensation, or other terms of employment) with the Company or Zhone
unless (i) such transaction is not expressly prohibited by this Agreement, and
(ii) the terms and conditions of such transaction, on an overall basis, are at
least as favorable to the Company or Zhone, as applicable, as those that are
generally available from unrelated Persons capable of similarly performing them
and in similar transactions between similarly situated unrelated parties
negotiated at arm's length.
18
Section 4.7 Salaries and Reimbursement. Unless otherwise determined by
--------------------------
Majority Interest, the Manager, in the Manager's capacity as Manager, shall not
be entitled to a salary and remuneration for services rendered to the Company.
Any salary of any Manager who is also a Member shall be treated as a guaranteed

SECTION V
ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME AND LOSSES
AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1 Allocations of Income and Losses.
--------------------------------
(a) Income for each fiscal year or part thereof of the Company shall
be allocated to the Members as follows:
(i) If there is a disposition described in Section 5.2(a)
whether directly or by application of Section 5.2(c) during such fiscal year or
part thereof, Income from such disposition shall be allocated as follows:
(A) First to the Class A Members as a group to the extent
the amount of the Adjusted Unreturned Class A Members' Capital Contribution
distributed to the Class A Members under Section 5.2(a)(i) for such year from
such disposition would otherwise exceed the aggregate positive Capital Account
balances of the Class A Members as a group (after taking into account the
distribution);
(B) Next to the Class A Members as a group to the extent
that the amount distributed to the Class A Members as a group under Section
5.2(a)(ii) for such year from such disposition would otherwise exceed the
positive Capital Account balances of the Class A Members as a group (after
taking into account the distribution), taking into account the allocation
provided for in Section 5.1(a)(i)(A);
(C) Next 55% to the Class B Member and 45% to the Class A
Members as a group until the Class B Members have been allocated Income under
this Section 5.1(a)(i)(C) equal to the aggregate amounts distributed to the
Class B Members under Sections 5.2(a)(iii) (whether directly or by application
of Section 5.2(c)); and
(D) The balance to the Class A Members as a group and the
Class B Members as a group in proportion to their respective Adjusted Percentage
Interests of the Class A Member and the Class B Members as a group as of the
date of the disposition.
(ii) If there is a disposition described in Section 5.2(b)
during such fiscal year or part thereof, Income from such disposition shall be
allocated as follows:
(A) First to the Class A Members as a group to the extent
the amount distributed to the Class A Members as a group under Section 5.2(b)(i)
for such year from all such dispositions would otherwise exceed the positive
Capital Account balances of the Class A Members as a group;
20
(B) Next to the Class A Members as a group to the extent
that the amount distributed to the Class A Members as a group under Section
5.2(b)(ii) for such year from all such dispositions would otherwise exceed the
positive Capital Account balance of the Class A Members as a group, taking into
account the allocation provided for in Section 5.1(a)(ii)(A);
(C) The balance to the Class A Members as a group.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions (A), (B) and (C) of this Section
5.1(a)(ii), if any distribution from such disposition is made to the Class B
Members as a group under Section 5.2(b)(iii), an amount of such Income equal to
such distribution shall first be allocated to the Class B Members as a group
prior to any allocation of Income to the Class A Members as a group under this
Section 5.1(a)(ii).
(iii) If there is a disposition described in Section 5.2(c)
during such fiscal year or part thereof, Income from such disposition shall be
allocated to the Class B Members as a group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the proceeds of such disposition are governed by the proviso of Section 5.2(c),
such Income shall instead be allocated in accordance with Section 5.1(a)(i).
(iv) If there is a disposition described in Section 5.2(d)
during such fiscal year or part thereof, Income from such disposition shall be
allocated to the Class B Members as a group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent the proceeds of such disposition are distributed to the Class A
Members as a group, the Income from the disposition that generated such proceeds
shall, to such extent, first instead be allocated to the Class A Members as a
group.
(b) Losses for each fiscal year or part thereof of the Company shall
be allocated among the Members as follows:
(i) Losses attributable to costs or expenses of the Company
paid with Additional Contributions made pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be
allocated to the Class A Members as a group to the extent of its Additional
Contributions.
(ii) Losses from a disposition of Preferred Stock described in
Section 5.2(b) shall be allocated to the Class A Members as a group;
(iii) Losses from a disposition of Common Stock described in
either Section 5.2(c) or Section 5.2(d) shall be allocated to the Class B
Members in proportion to their respective Series B Common Units;
(iv) Losses other than as provided in Sections 5.1(b)(i), (ii)
and (iii) shall be allocated as follows:
(A) first to the Members in proportion to and to the
extent of their respective shares of Company Income allocated to them under
Section 5.1(a)(i)(D) and not previously taken into account under this Section
5.1(b)(iv)(A);
21
(B) Next to the Members in proportion to and to the
extent of their respective positive Capital Account balances remaining after any
allocations under Section 5.1(b)(iv)(A); and
(C) The balance to the Class A Members as a group and the
Class B Members as a group based on the respective Adjusted Percentage Interests
of the Class A Members as a group and the Class B Member as a group.
(c) Allocations With Respect to Contributed Property. Allocations of
------------------------------------------------
book and tax items with respect to property contributed by any Member shall be
made solely for Federal income tax purposes as required by section 704(c) of the
Code using the traditional method. Following any revaluation of the Company's
assets and the adjustment of any Member's Capital Account pursuant to
Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect such revaluation, the
Members' Capital Accounts shall be adjusted for various items as computed for
book purposes with respect to such revalued assets as required by Regulations
section 1.704-1(b) and the Members' shares of such items as computed for tax
purposes with respect to such items shall be determined as required by
Regulations section 1.704-1(b). Income or Losses upon the disposition of any
property contributed to the Company shall be determined with respect to the book
basis of such property instead of its income tax basis.
(d) Qualified Income Offset.
-----------------------
(i) If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in Regulations section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Income shall be specially allocated to
such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any deficit in its
Capital Account created by such adjustment, allocation or distribution as soon
as practicable. This Section 5.1(d)(i) is intended to constitute a "qualified
income offset" within the meaning of Regulations section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).
(ii) Any allocations of items of Income pursuant to Section
5.1(d)(i) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of
Income or Losses pursuant to this Article V so that the net amounts of the
allocations under this Article V shall, to the maximum extent possible, be equal
to the net amounts that would have been allocated pursuant to this Article V if
there had been no allocations pursuant to Section 5.1(d)(i).
(e) Allocation of Income and Losses and Distributions in Respect of a
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Transferred Interest. If any Membership Interest is transferred, or is
--------------------
increased or decreased by reason of the admission of a new Member or otherwise,
during any fiscal year, Income or Losses for such fiscal year shall be allocated
among the Members by the Tax Matters Partner (as directed by a Majority
Interest) using any method permitted under the Code.
(f) Adjustment of Allocations. In the event the allocations set forth
-------------------------
above are disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service, such allocations shall be
deemed to be amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform with section 704
of the Code, while preserving the intent of the foregoing allocations to the
maximum possible extent and by making such adjustments to the allocations as are
necessary to allow distributions to be made in accordance with Section 5.2.
22
(g) Additional Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon
----------------------
the final dissolution and termination of the Company and after taking into
account all allocations of Income and Losses (and other tax items) under this
Section 5.1, the distributions to be made in accordance with the positive
Capital Account balances would result in a distribution that would be different
from the Distribution Hierarchy provided for under Section 5.2(a) below, then
gross items of Income (and other tax items) for the taxable year of the final
dissolution and termination (and, to the extent permitted under section 761(c)
of the Code, gross items of Income (and other tax items) for the immediately
preceding taxable year) shall be allocated to the Members to increase or
decrease Capital Account balances, as the case may be, so that the final
distribution will occur in under the Distribution Hierarchy provided for under
Section 5.2(a) below.
(h) Special Rule. Notwithstanding any other provision in Section 5.1,
------------
if Income or Loss arises in a taxable year different from the taxable year in
which the associated cash arising from that sale is distributed under Section
5.2, the allocations of such Income and Loss under Section 5.1 shall, to the
maximum extent possible, be made as if the associated distribution had occurred
in the year the taxable Income or Loss arose, using the principles of Section
5.2 to determine the allocation of such hypothetical distribution.
Section 5.2 Distributions by the Company. Subject to applicable law and
----------------------------
any limitations contained elsewhere in this Agreement, all available proceeds
from the disposition of the Securities (including dividends, interest and sales
proceeds) less reasonable reserves and reasonable costs of the disposition, all
as determined by a Majority Interest, shall be distributed to the Members under
one of the Distribution Hierarchies (the "Distribution Hierarchies") as follows:
(a) Disposition of All Remaining Securities. If the disposition is of
---------------------------------------
all of the Securities remaining in the Company, is pursuant to an event
described in Section 8.1(e), or is not otherwise governed by any of Sections
5.2(b), (c) or (d), the proceeds shall be distributed in accordance with the
following Distribution Hierarchy and priority:
(i) First, to the Class A Members as a group to the extent of
the Adjusted Unreturned Class A Members' Capital Contribution,
(ii) Second, to the Class A Members as a group to the extent of
the sum of:
(A) The Basic Threshold Return attributable to the
portion of the Class A Member's Capital Contribution (determined on a FIFO
basis) attributable to all of the Preferred Stock (such portion to be determined
consistently with Section 1.3(b)A) disposed of in such disposition; and
(B) Any Adjusted Post Cover Date Shortfall as of the date
of such disposition (first in payment of any Post Cover Date Basic Threshold
Return included therein and then in payment of any Post Cover Date Capital
Return Shortfall included therein),
(iii) Third, 55% to the Class B Members as a group and 45% to
the Class A Members as a group until the Class B Members as a group have
received total distributions pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(iii) equal to the
Adjusted Percentage Interest of the
23
Class B Members as a group of all distributions to the Class A Members as a
group and the Class B Members as a group pursuant to Sections 5.2(a)(i) and (ii)
and this Section 5.2(a)(iii), and
(iv) The balance to the Class A Members as a group and the
Class B Members as a group based on the respective Adjusted Percentage Interests
of the Class A Members as a group and the Class B Members as a group.
(b) Disposition of Preferred Stock Not Governed by Section 5.2(a). If
-------------------------------------------------------------
the disposition is of any or all of the Preferred Stock (a "Preferred Stock
Disposition" or "Disposition"), and the Disposition is not otherwise governed by
Section 5.2(a), the proceeds of the disposition shall be distributed in
accordance with the following Distribution Hierarchy and priority:
(i) First, to the Class A Members as a group to the extent of
the Basic Threshold Return remaining unpaid as of the date of the Preferred
Stock Disposition,
(ii) Second, to the Class A Members as a group to the extent of
any of the Class A Members' Capital Contribution remaining unreturned as of the
date of the Preferred Stock Disposition, and
(iii) The balance to the Class A Members as a group, except if
any distributions have been made to the Class A Members as a group under Section
5.2(d), such balance shall first be distributed to the Class B Members as a
group until that group has received an aggregate amount under this Section
5.2(b)(iii) equal to the aggregate amount of such distributions to the Class A
Members as a group under Section 5.2(d).
(c) Disposition of Common Stock Prior to the Cover Date and Not
-----------------------------------------------------------
Governed by Section 5.2(a). If the disposition is of Common Stock prior to the
--------------------------
Cover Date and is not otherwise governed by Section 5.2(a), then the proceeds of
such disposition shall be distributed to the Class B Members as a group;
provided, however, that if such disposition of Common Stock occurs within 90
days of the date of a Preferred Stock Disposition unless all Class A Members are
Delinquent, the proceeds of such disposition of Common Stock shall first be
distributed to the Class A Members as a group to the extent that any Basic
Threshold Return and any of the Class A Members' Capital Contributions as of the
date of the Preferred Stock Disposition remains unpaid and unreturned, as the
case may be, after the proceeds of the Preferred Stock Disposition have been
distributed in accordance with Sections 5.2(b)(i) and (ii). The distribution of
proceeds to the Class A Members as a group hereunder shall be made in accordance
with the Distribution Hierarchy set forth in Section 5.2(b).
(d) Disposition of Common Stock After the Cover Date and Not Governed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
by Section 5.2(a).
-----------------
(i) If as a result of a Preferred Stock Disposition governed
by Section 5.2(b) and occurring after the Cover Date, the Basic Threshold Return
attributable to the portion of the Class A Members' Capital Contribution
(determined on a FIFO basis) attributable to the Preferred Stock disposed of in
such Disposition exceeds the amount distributed to the Class A Member from such
Disposition under Section 5.2(b)(i), there shall be a "Post Cover
24
Date Basic Threshold Shortfall." If the Class A Members' Capital Contributions
(determined on a FIFO basis) attributable to the Preferred Stock disposed of in
such Disposition exceed the amount distributed to Class A Member from such
Disposition under Section 5.2(b)(ii) there shall be a "Post Cover Date Capital
Return Shortfall."
(ii) In the event there is neither a Post Cover Date Capital Return
Shortfall nor a Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall at the time of a
disposition of Common Stock after the Cover Date and such disposition is not
otherwise governed by Section 5.2(a), all proceeds of such disposition shall be
distributed to the Class B Members as a group.
(iii) In the event that there is either, or both, of a Post Cover
Date Basic Threshold Shortfall or a Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall,
the Class B Members as group shall have one year from the date of the
Disposition creating any such Shortfall to as, chosen by a Class B Majority,
either:
(A) Cause the Company to dispose of sufficient Common Stock to
be able to and to distribute to the Class A Member the sum of (I) the amount of
any Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall arising from the Disposition (and
a Basic Threshold Return shall continue to accrue on the amount of such
Shortfall remaining unpaid as though it were a Capital Contribution from the
Class A Member until that Shortfall is paid under this Section 5.2(d)) and (II)
the amount of any Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall arising from the
Disposition. Such distribution shall be treated as made first under (I) of this
Subsection and then under (II) of this Subsection.
(B) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(d)(iii)(A), if the Class B
Members as a group would not receive from such Common Stock disposition and from
all prior dispositions of any assets by the Company an aggregate amount equal to
10% of the cumulative amount of Income of the Company through the date of the
disposition of the Common Stock, then the Class B Members as a group shall first
receive from the proceeds of the Common Stock disposition otherwise
distributable to the Class A Members as a group under Section 5.2(d) (iii)(A)
the amount necessary for the Class B Members as a group to have received that
10% amount. The balance of the proceeds from the disposition shall be
distributed to the Class A Members as a group first to pay the Post Cover Date
Basic Threshold Shortfall and any balance remaining to cover the Post Cover Date
Capital Return Shortfall; or
(C) Cause the Company to distribute to the Class A Members as a
group Common Stock of sufficient value (using for the value of that Common Stock
the average closing price for such stock during the 30 trading days prior to the
date of the distribution) to pay the Class A Members as a group (I) the amount
of any Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall arising from the Disposition
(and a Basic Threshold Return shall continue to accrue on the amount of such
Shortfall remaining unpaid as though it were a Capital Contribution from the
Class A Members as a group until that Shortfall is paid under this Section
5.2(d)) and (II) any Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall arising from the
Disposition. Such distribution shall be treated as made first under (I) of this
Subsection and then under (II) of this Subsection.
25
(D) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C), if the Class B
Members as a group would not receive from a disposition of such Common Stock if
it were disposed of at the value determined under Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C) and
from all prior dispositions of any assets by the Company an amount equal to 10%
of the cumulative amount of Income through the date of the distribution of the
Common Stock, then the Class B Members as a group shall first receive as a
distribution from the Common Stock otherwise distributable to the Class A
Members as a group under Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C) (valued using the average price
value set forth in Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C)) such amount of Common Stock as
necessary for the Class B Members as a group to have received that 10% amount.
The balance of that Common Stock otherwise distributable under Section
5.2(d)(iii)(C) shall be distributed to the Class A Members as a group first to
pay the Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall and any balance remaining to
cover the Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall.
(e) Notwithstanding Sections 5.2(a)-(d), in the event:
(i) the net amount of U.S. federal income tax and state income
tax required to be paid by a Class B Member, on the Income allocated to the
Member (net of all Losses allocated to the Member hereunder and not
previously offset by an allocation of Income hereunder), for any fiscal
year of the Company, assuming the Class B Member were subject to the
maximum individual U.S. federal and state income tax rates, using an
assumed 10% state income tax rate on such Income and taking into account
any deduction of state income taxes for regular U.S. federal income tax
purposes, exceeds
(ii) the cash distributed to the Class B Member pursuant to one
or more of Sections 5.2(a)-(d) for such fiscal year or within 90 days
following the close of such fiscal year, provided that to the extent that
including cash distributed within such 90 day period prevents there from
being an excess, such cash shall not again count for the fiscal year of
distribution for purposes of determining whether there is an excess under
this Section 5.2(e), (such excess being referred to as the "Class B
Member's Tax Deficit"),
then the Class B Member shall receive from Distributable Cash for such fiscal
year or such later fiscal year when Distributable Cash becomes available, an
amount equal to the Class B Member's Tax Deficit. Such distribution shall be
made whether or not the Member is an individual and whether or not such income
is subject to a different tax rate. Such distribution shall be taken into
account in computing subsequent distributions to the Members under Sections
5.2(a)-(d). Accordingly, distributions to a Class B Member pursuant to this
Section 5.2(e) shall be offset to the maximum extent possible each time out of
the first subsequent distributions to which the Class B Member is otherwise
entitled to under this Agreement until the amounts previously distributed to the
Class Member under this Section 5.2(e) have been offset; provided that in the
case of subsequent distributions not pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the Class B
Member must retain sufficient cash from distributions under Section 5.2(b)(iii)
and 5.2(d) to pay the Federal and state taxes attributable to the allocations
related to such distributions, computed consistently with Section 5.2(e)(i). In
the event that more than one Class B Member has a Tax Deficit and there is
insufficient Distributable Cash for the relevant fiscal year to cover all Class
B Members' Tax Deficits, distributions under this
26
Section 5.2(e) shall be made among the Class B Members with Tax Deficits in
proportion to their respective Tax Deficits.
(f) All distributions under this Section 5.2 shall be made only
to the Persons who, according to the Company's books and records, are the
holders of record of the Membership Interests in respect of which such
distributions are made on the actual date of distribution. If a distribution to
any Member is subject to withholding pursuant to the Code, or any other
provision of federal, state or local law, the Company shall withhold all amounts
otherwise distributable to such Member as are required by law and any amounts so
withheld shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Member under this
Agreement. Subject to Section 5.4, neither the Company nor the Manager shall
incur any liability for making distributions in accordance with this Section
5.2.
Section 5.3 Form of Distribution. Except as otherwise provided in this
--------------------
Agreement, a Member, regardless of the nature of the Member's Capital
Contribution, has no right to demand and receive any distribution from the
Company other than pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 5.4 Restriction on Distributions.
----------------------------
(a) No distribution shall be made if, after giving effect to the
distribution, all liabilities of the Company, other than liabilities of the
Company to Members on account of their Membership Interests and liabilities for
which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the Company,
exceed the fair market value of the assets of the Company, except that the fair
market value of the property that is subject to a liability for which the
recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the assets of the Company
only to the extent that the fair market value of that property exceeds that
liability.
(b) A Majority Interest may base a determination that a
distribution is not prohibited on any of the following bases: (i) financial
statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are
reasonable in the circumstances; (ii) a fair valuation; or (iii) any other
method that is reasonable in the circumstances.
(c) Any Member or Assignee who receives a distribution in
violation of Section 5.4(a) who knew at the time of the distribution that the
distribution violated Section 5.4(a) shall be liable to the Company for the
amount of the distribution.
Section 5.5 Distributions in Kind. Any property distributed in kind by
---------------------
the Company shall, subject to Section 8.1(e), be valued at fair market value in
good faith by a Majority Interest and treated as though the property were
disposed of for such value for all purposes of this Agreement. The difference
between such value of the property distributed in kind and its book basis shall
be treated as Income or Loss on the sale of the property and shall be credited
or charged to the Members in proportion to their respective shares of Income and
Losses pursuant to Section 5.1 as though actually recognized by the Company for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Section 5.6 Treatment of the Deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing
------------------------
provisions of Section 5.1-5.5, interest earned on the Deposit shall be allocated
and distributed to the Class A
27
Members described in the first sentence of Section 3.1(c)(iii), in proportion to
their respective Capital Contributions.
SECTION VI
TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT OF INTERESTS
Section 6.1 Restrictions on Transfer of Interests. In addition to other
-------------------------------------
restrictions found in this Agreement, without the consent of a Majority Interest
or as provided in Section 3.3(c), no Member shall transfer, assign, convey,
sell, encumber or in any way alienate all or any part of the Member's Membership
Interest, except:
(a) if the Member is an individual or is treated as an individual
for federal income tax purposes as of the date of this Agreement (and for this
purpose a husband and wife shall be treated as one individual), to such Member's
immediate family or any custodian or trustee for the benefit of any or all of
such Member and the Member's immediate family or upon such Member's death by
testamentary disposition or intestacy, or
(b) if the Member is not described in Section 6.1(a), to an
Affiliate, provided that in the case of an Affiliate, the Member remains jointly
and severally liable with such Affiliate for the performance of all of the
transferring Member's obligations under this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Effective Date of Permitted Transfers. Any permitted transfer
-------------------------------------
of all or any portion of a Membership Interest shall be effective as of the date
following the date upon which the applicable requirements of Section 6.1 have
been met. The Manager shall provide the Members with written notice of such
transfer as promptly as possible after the requirements of Section 6.1 have been
met. Any transferee of a Membership Interest shall take subject to the
restrictions on transfer and all other provisions imposed by this Agreement.
Section 6.3 Substitution of Members. An Assignee of a Membership Interest
-----------------------
shall have the right to become a substitute Member only if (i) the requirements
of Section 6.1 are met, (ii) the Assignee executes an instrument reasonably
satisfactory to a Majority Interest accepting and adopting the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) the Assignee pays any reasonable
expenses in connection with the Assignee's admission as a new Member. The
admission of an Assignee as a substitute Member shall not result in the release
of the Member who assigned the Membership Interest from any liability that such
Member may have to the Company.
Section 6.4 Rights of Legal Representatives. If a Member who is an
-------------------------------
individual dies or is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
incompetent to manage the Member's person or property, the Member's executor,
administrator, guardian, conservator, or other legal representative may exercise
all of the Member's rights for the purpose of settling the Member's estate or
administering the Member's property, including any power the Member has under
this Agreement to give an Assignee the right to become a Member.
Section 6.5 No Effect to Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Upon any
------------------------------------------------
transfer of a Membership Interest in violation of this Article VI, the
transferee shall have no right to vote or
28
participate in the management of the Company's business, property and affairs or
to exercise any rights of a Member. Such transferee shall only be entitled to
become an Assignee and thereafter shall only receive the share of one or more of
the Company's Income, Losses and distributions of the Company's assets to which
the transferor of such Membership Interest would otherwise be entitled.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentences, if, in the determination of
the Tax Matters Partner, a transfer in violation of this Article VI would cause
the tax termination of the Company under Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), the transfer
shall be null and void and the purported transferee shall not become either a
Member or an Assignee.
SECTION VII

------------------------------
records shall be kept, and the financial position and the results of its
