Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Except to the extent necessary with maintaining its status as not being an βinvestment
companyβ within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (based upon written advice to the
Manager from Outside Counsel), the Manager shall not, without KRH Approval, directly or
indirectly, enter into or conduct any business other than (i)Β in connection with the ownership,
acquisition or disposition of Units as a Member, (ii)Β the management of the business of the Company
as provided herein, (iii)Β RHI Inc.βs operation as a public reporting company with a class of

For the purposes of clarification, the provision by the Manager of guarantees, credit support or
entering into other obligations or agreements in support of obligations or operations of the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed for purposes of this SectionΒ 4.3 to be βin
connection with or incidentalβ to the management of the business of the Company and βin connection

Approval Rights shall continue until the earlier of (x)Β the date on which the conditions that gave
rise to KRH Approval Rights no longer exist, or (y)Β the delivery of written notice waiving KRH
Approval Rights by KRH. KRH may waive KRH Approval Rights with respect to a particular matter by
delivering written notice to the Company and KRH. Any waiver by KRH of its KRH Approval Rights
shall only serve as a waiver with respect to the specific conditions that gave rise to KRH Approval
Rights being waived and shall not constitute a waiver with respect to any other rights under this
Agreement and any KRH Approval Rights that KRH may have in the future as a result of the existence
of a condition giving rise to KRH Approval Rights subsequent to such waiver. The matters provided
for in this SectionΒ 4.3(b) are not intended to modify the Managerβs responsibilities for managing
the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company. Subject to the foregoing and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not take, cause to be taken, or agree

Β Β Β Β Β 4.4 Duties. The Manager shall carry out its duties in good faith, in a manner that it believes
to be in the best interests of the Company and each of its Members and shall act as a fiduciary to
the other Members in respect of the Companyβs business. The Manager shall devote such time to the
business and affairs of the Company as it may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary
for the efficient carrying on of the Companyβs business.
Β Β Β Β Β 4.5 Reliance by Third Parties. No third party dealing with the Company shall be required to
ascertain whether the Manager is acting in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All
third parties may rely on a document executed by the Manager as binding the Company. The foregoing
provisions shall not apply to third parties who are Affiliates of the Manager. If the Manager acts
without authority it shall be liable to the Members for any damages arising out of its unauthorized
actions.
Β Β Β Β Β 4.6 Resignation. The Manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Members. Unless otherwise
specified in the notice, the resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the Members, and

upon request, the Manager shall supply to a Member (i)Β any information required to be available to
the Members under the LLC Act, and (ii)Β any other information requested by such Member regarding
the Company or its activities, provided that obtaining the information described in this
clause (ii)Β is not unduly burdensome to the Manager. During ordinary business hours, each Member
and its authorized representative shall have access to all books, records and materials in the
Companyβs offices regarding the Company or its activities.

and deal with any Affiliate of the Manager, provided such contracts and dealings are on terms
comparable to and competitive with those available to the Company from others dealing at armβs

Subscription Agreement, the Director Designation Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Tax Receivable Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β 4.12 Officers.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β The Manager may, from time to time, designate one or more Persons to fill one or more
officer positions of the Company. Any officers so designated shall have such
27
Β
titles and authority
and perform such duties as the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them. If the title
given to a particular officer is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation, the
assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and
duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any specific delegation of
authority and duties made to such officer, or restrictions placed thereon, by the Manager. Each
officer shall hold office until his or her successor is duly designated, until his or her death or

Manager. Any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Manager whenever in its
judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby; provided,
however, that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of
the Person so removed. Designation of an officer shall not, by itself, create contract rights.
Β Β Β Β Β 4.13 Management Fee; Reimbursement of Expenses. The Manager shall not be entitled to
compensation for performance of its duties hereunder unless such compensation has been approved by
a Majority Member Vote. The Manager shall be reimbursed by the Company for any reasonable

associated with the Initial Public Offering. In the case of Shares sold to underwriters in
connection with the Initial Public Offering (or any subsequent public offering) at a price lower
than the price for which such Shares are sold in the Initial Public Offering (or such subsequent
public offering), as applicable (such difference, the βDiscountβ), the Company shall
reimburse the Manager for such Discount by treating such Discount as an Additional Contribution
Amount made by the Manager to the Company and increasing the Managerβs Capital Account by such
Discount.

this Agreement).

law or equity, whenever in this Agreement a Member (other than RHI Inc.) is permitted or required
to make a decision (i)Β in its βsole discretionβ or βdiscretion,β with βcomplete discretionβ or

entitled to consider only such

permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest
of or factors affecting the Company or the other Members, or (ii)Β in its βgood faithβ or under
another expressed standard, such Member shall act under such express standard and shall not be

opinions, reports, or statements presented by another Manager, Member, Liquidator or officer, or
employee of the Company, or committees of the Company, Manager or Members, or by any other Person
(including, without limitation, legal counsel and public accountants) as to matters that the
Manager, Member, Liquidator or officer reasonably believes are within such other Personβs
professional or expert competence, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the
value and amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income or Net Losses of the Company, or the value
and amount of assets or reserves or contracts, agreements or other undertakings that would be
sufficient to pay claims and obligations of the Company or to make reasonable provision to pay such
claims and obligations, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from
which distributions to Members or creditors might properly be paid.
Β Β Β Β Β 4.15 Indemnification.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a) Indemnification Rights. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each
Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities,
expenses of any nature (including attorneysβ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements
(whether on an individual or joint and several basis) and other amounts arising from any and all
claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitral
or investigative, in which the Indemnitee was involved or may be involved, or threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the business of the
Company, this Agreement, any Personβs status as a Manager, Member or officer of the Company or any
action taken by any Manager, Member or officer of the Company or under this Agreement or otherwise
on behalf of the Company (collectively, βLiabilitiesβ), regardless of whether the
Indemnitee continues to be a Manager, Member or officer of the Company, or an Affiliate, officer,
director, employee, trustee, member or partner or agent of a Manager, Member or officer of the
Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the LLC Act and all other applicable laws;
provided that an Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder only to the
extent that such Indemniteeβs conduct did not result from gross negligence or willful misconduct
and, if the Indemnitee is or was the Manager, the conduct did not breach this Agreement. The
termination of any proceeding by settlement, judgment, order, conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption
that such Indemniteeβs conduct resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b) Expenses. Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending against any Liability
or potential Liability subject to this SectionΒ 4.15 shall, from time to time, be advanced by the
Company prior to the final disposition of such Liability upon receipt by the Company of
29
Β
an
undertaking reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Manager by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Person is not entitled to be
indemnified as authorized in this SectionΒ 4.15.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c) Indemnification Rights Non-Exclusive; Rights of Indemnified Parties. The
indemnification provided by this SectionΒ 4.15 shall be in addition to any other rights to which
those indemnified may be entitled under any agreement, by a Majority Member Vote, as a matter of
law or equity, or otherwise. Such indemnification shall continue with respect to an Indemnitee
even though it has ceased to serve in any particular capacity and shall inure to the benefit of its
heirs, executors, successors, assigns and other legal representatives.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d) Assets of the Company. Any indemnification under this SectionΒ 4.15 shall be
satisfied solely out of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall be subject to personal
liability or required to fund or cause to be funded any obligation by reason of these
indemnification provisions.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e) Other Liability Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at
the Companyβs expense, on behalf of such Persons as the Manager shall reasonably determine, against
any liability that may be asserted against, or any expense that may be incurred by, such Person in
connection with the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates regardless of
whether the Company would have the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under
the provisions of this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β 4.16 Title to Assets. Unless specifically licensed or leased to the Company, title to the
assets of the Company, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be
deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Members, individually or collectively, shall
have any ownership interest in such assets (other than licensed or leased assets) or any portion
thereof.

Β
Β Β Β Β Β 5.2 Loans from Members. Loans by Members to the Company shall not be considered contributions
to the capital of the Company hereunder. If any Member shall advance funds to the Company in
excess of the amounts required to be contributed to the capital of the Company, the making of such
advances shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Member and
shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which advances are
made; provided that the terms of any such loan shall not be less favorable to the Company,
taken as a whole, than would be available to the Company from unrelated lenders and such loan shall
be approved by the Manager (or a Majority Member Vote in the event the Manager is making the loan
to the Company). Such Loans made by the Manager shall be unsecured and bear interest at the same
rate as the lowest rate of the Companyβs (or its Subsidiaries) revolving credit facilities.
Β Β Β Β Β 5.3 Loans from Third Parties. The Company may incur Indebtedness, or enter into other similar
credit, guarantee, financing or refinancing arrangements for any purpose with any Person upon such
terms as the Manager determines appropriate; provided that the Company shall not incur any
Indebtedness that is recourse to any Member, except to the extent otherwise agreed to in writing by
the applicable Member in its sole discretion.
Β Β Β Β Β 5.4 Distributions. All distributions made by the Company, if any, shall be made in accordance
with this SectionΒ 5.4.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a) Nonliquidating Distributions. The Manager will cause the Company to make
distributions in the following manner:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β At least quarterly (and, in any event on or before the applicable quarterly federal filing
date for estimated federal income taxes), the Company shall distribute, to the extent there is cash
available, to the Members, pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests, an amount so
that each Member receives at least its Tax Distribution Amount with respect to such quarter by wire
transfer in immediately available funds; provided that if, in the event that the income tax
liability of the Company (or any of its Members with respect to taxes attributable to the income of
the Company) is increased pursuant to an audit or challenge by a taxing authority (including if a
voluntary payment is made to limit the accrual of interest on audit
issues) or the filing of an amended tax return, the Manager shall increase the Tax
Distribution Amount, by an amount sufficient to satisfy for each Member such tax liability
increase, for the quarter during which (a)Β a settlement with respect to such matters is entered
into with the taxing authority, (b)Β a decision of a court having jurisdiction with respect to such
matters becomes final, (c)Β the applicable Member(s) make a voluntary tax payment to such taxing
authority or (d)Β the amended tax return is filed; provided, however, that so long
as there are any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, in the event that there is a
conflict between the provisions of this SectionΒ 5.4(a)(i) and the terms of the Credit Agreement
with respect to the amount or the timing of the distributions required to be made under this
SectionΒ 5.4(a)(i), the amount of the distribution required to be made under this SectionΒ 5.4(a)(i)
shall be no greater than the maximum amount permitted as a βTax Distributionβ as defined in
Amendment No.Β 2 to the Credit Agreement for the relevant period under the Credit Agreement and the
timing of such payment shall be as set forth in Amendment No.Β 2 to the Credit Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, all distributions made pursuant to this SectionΒ 5.4(a) shall be made pro rata
in accordance with Percentage Interests.

Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β The Manager, in its sole discretion, from time to time, may (but shall not be required
to) declare and make additional distributions of Available Cash among all the Members, pro rata in
accordance with their Percentage Interests.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b) Liquidating Distributions. All distributions made in connection with the sale,
exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Companyβs assets, or with respect
to the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall be made among the Members as provided in
ArticleΒ 7 hereof.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c) Sole Discretion of the Manager. Except as specified in SectionsΒ 4.3, 5.4(a),
5.4(b) or 7.3, (i)Β the Company shall have no obligation to distribute any cash or other property of
the Company to the Members, (ii)Β the Manager shall have sole discretion in determining whether to
distribute any cash or other property of the Company, when available, and in determining the
timing, kind and amount of any and all distributions, and (iii)Β no Member is entitled to receive
any distribution unless and until declared by the Manager.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d) Distributions in Kind. No Member has any right to demand or receive property
other than cash. However, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, elect to make distributions,
entirely or in part, in property of the Company other than cash. Property distributed in kind
shall be deemed to have been sold for their valuation determined in accordance with SectionΒ 5.5.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e) Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, no distribution shall be made in violation of the LLC Act.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f) Exculpation. The Members hereby consent and agree that, except as expressly
provided herein or required by applicable law and except for distributions not made in compliance
with this Agreement, no Member shall have an obligation to return cash or other property paid or
distributed to such Member by the Company, whether such obligation would have arisen under
§ 18-502(b) of the LLC Act or otherwise.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (g) Manager to Cause Funds to be Available for Tax Distribution. The Manager shall
use its best efforts to operate the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries in
such manner as to cause the Company to have available the funds necessary to make the distributions
under SectionΒ 5.4(a)(i) in the amounts and at the times required under SectionΒ 5.4(a)(i), subject,
however, in all cases, to compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and other third party
contractual obligations.
Β Β Β Β Β 5.5 Valuation. All valuation determinations to be made under this Agreement (unless otherwise
expressly provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation, in the definitions of
βDeemed Partnership Interest Valueβ or βDeemed Value of the Membership Interestsβ) shall be made
pursuant to the terms of this Section, which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the
Company, all Members, former Members, their successors, assigns, legal representatives and any
other Person, except for computational errors or fraud, and to the fullest extent permitted by law,
no such Person shall have the right to an accounting or an appraisal of the assets of the Company
or any successor thereto except for computational errors or fraud. Valuations shall be determined
by a reasonable method of valuation determined by the
32
Β
Manager, which may include an independent
appraisal, a reasonable estimate by the Manager or some other reasonable method of valuation; and
provided, further, that with respect to any valuation of the Company, RHI Inc. or
any Subsidiary thereof, that such valuation shall be based upon (i)Β to the extent applicable, the
RHI Market Price if the Shares are publicly traded, and (ii)Β no discount shall be taken in respect
of a minority interest or due to the illiquidity of any Membership Unit. Distributions of
property in kind shall be valued at fair market value; provided that any valuation under
this Section shall be determined by an independent appraiser selected by the Manager if so
requested by KRH.

Fiscal Year) its federal, state and local income tax returns and such other financial or other
statements and reports that the Manager deems appropriate.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β The Manager shall keep or cause to be kept books and records pertaining to the Companyβs
business showing all of its assets and liabilities, receipts and disbursements, Net Income and Net
Losses, Membersβ Capital Accounts and all transactions entered into by the Company. Such books and

other access and information as may be reasonably required to enable such Member to account for the
investment in the Company and otherwise comply with the requirements of applicable laws, generally
accepted accounting principles and requirements of any Governmental Authority.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.2 Certain Tax Matters. The βtax matters partnerβ for purposes of SectionΒ 6231(a)(7) of the
Code shall be RHI Inc. (the βTax Matters Memberβ). The Tax Matters Member shall have all
the rights, duties, powers and obligations provided for in SectionsΒ 6221 through 6232 of the Code
with respect to the Company. The Tax Matters Member shall inform each other Member of all
significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as such by giving notice thereof
within ten days after becoming aware thereof and, within such time, shall forward to each other
Member copies of all significant written communications it may receive in such capacity. KRH shall
be entitled to participate in any tax proceeding relating to the Company and the Tax Matters Member
shall not settle any such proceeding without KRHβs consent not to be unreasonably withheld. This
provision is not intended to authorize the Tax Matters Member to take any action left to the
determination of an individual Member under SectionsΒ 6222 through 6231 of the Code.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.3 Allocations.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a) General. Except as provided in SectionΒ 6.3(b) and as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Net Income and Net Losses, and, to the extent necessary, individual items of Company
income, gain, loss and deduction, shall be allocated to the Members in such amounts,
to the maximum extent possible, to make the Adjusted Capital Account Balances of the Members
(after the application of this SectionΒ 6.3(a)) to be in proportion to the Membersβ Percentage
Interests.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b) Special Allocations.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β Qualified Income Offset. If any Member receives an unexpected adjustment,
allocation, or distribution described in Sections l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4-6) of the Treasury
Regulations in any Fiscal Year or other period which would cause such Member to have a deficit
Adjusted Capital Account Balance as of the end of such Fiscal Year or other period, items of
Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including
gross income and gain) shall be specifically allocated to such Member in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit in such
Memberβs Adjusted Capital Account Balance as quickly as possible. This SectionΒ 6.3(b)(i) is
intended to comply with the qualified income offset provision in Section l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) of
the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β Gross Income Allocation. If any Member would otherwise have a deficit Adjusted
Capital Account Balance as of the last day of any Fiscal Year or other period, individual items of
income and gain of the Company shall be specifically allocated to such
34
Β
Member (in the manner
specified in SectionΒ 6.3(b)(i)) so as to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum
Gain during a Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and
gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such
Memberβs share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section
1.704-2(g)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This SectionΒ 6.3(b)(iii) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirement of SectionsΒ 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iv)Β Member Non-recourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in
Member Non-recourse Debt Minimum Gain during a Fiscal Year or other period, then each Member shall
be allocated items of Company gross income or gain equal to such Memberβs share of such net
decrease, except to the extent such allocation would not be required under Sections l.704-2(i)(4)
or 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The amounts referred to in this SectionΒ 6.43(b)(iv)
and the items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with SectionΒ 1.704-2 of the
Treasury Regulations. This SectionΒ 6.3(b)(iv) is intended to comply with the minimum gain
chargeback requirement contained in SectionΒ 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (v)Β Limitations on Net Loss Allocations. With respect to any Member, notwithstanding
the provisions of SectionΒ 6.4(a), the amount of Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or other period that
would otherwise be allocated to a Member under SectionΒ 6.4(a) shall not cause or increase a deficit
Adjusted Capital Account Balance. Any Net Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this
SectionΒ 6.3(b)(v) shall be allocated among the Members, pro rata, to
the extent each, respectively, is liable or exposed with respect to any debt or other
obligations of the Company.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (vi)Β Member Non-recourse Deductions. Member nonrecourse deductions (as described in
SectionΒ 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be
specifically allocated to the Members who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to Member
Non-recourse Debt to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with
SectionΒ 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Treasury Regulations.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (vii)Β Non-recourse Deductions. Non-recourse deductions (as described in Section
1.704-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to
the Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (viii)Β Excess Non-recourse Liabilities. If the built-in gain in Company assets
subject to Non-recourse Debts exceeds the gain described in SectionΒ 1.752-3(a)(2) of the Treasury
Regulations, the Excess Non-recourse Liabilities shall be allocated (i)Β first, to KRH up to the
amount of built-in gain that is allocable to KRH on Section 704(c) Property, other than built-in
gain already taken into account under
SectionsΒ 1.752-3(a)(1) and (2), (ii)Β second, among the
Members other than KRH up the amount of built in gain that is allocable to such other Members on
Section 704(c) Property, other than built-in gain already taken into account under
35
Β
Sections
1.752-3(a)(1) and (2)Β and (iii)Β last, any remaining Excess Non-recourse Liabilities shall be
allocated among the Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ix)Β Ordering Rules. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, allocations for any Fiscal Period or other period of nonrecourse deductions (as
described in SectionΒ 1.704-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations) or partner nonrecourse deductions (as
described in SectionΒ 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations), or of items required to be allocated
pursuant to the minimum gain chargeback requirements contained in SectionsΒ 6.3(b)(iii) and
6.3(b)(iv), shall be made before any other allocations hereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c) Curative Provisions. The allocations set forth in SectionsΒ 6.3(b)(i)-(viii) (the
βRegulatory Allocationsβ) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections
1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be
consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Net Income and Net Losses or
make Company contributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement,
but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, Members shall reallocate items of income, gain,
deductions and loss among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations
and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close
thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Income and Net Losses (and such other items of
income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory
Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially
allocating other Net Income and Net Losses (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and
loss) among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special
allocations to each such Member is zero. In addition, if in any Fiscal Year or other period there
is a decrease in Company Minimum Gain, or in Member Non-recourse Debt Minimum Gain, and application
of the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in this SectionΒ 6.4 would cause a distortion
in the economic arrangement among the Members, the
Members may, if they do not expect that the Company will have sufficient other income to
correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such
minimum gain chargeback requirements. If such request is granted, this Agreement shall be applied
in such instance as if it did not contain such minimum gain chargeback requirements.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.4 Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses for Federal Income Tax Purposes. The Companyβs
ordinary income and losses and capital gains and losses as determined for federal income tax
purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof)
shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as the corresponding βbookβ items are
allocated pursuant to SectionΒ 6.4 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
federal income tax items relating to any Section 704(c) Property shall be allocated among the
Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to take into account the difference between the fair market value and the tax
basis of such Section 704(c) Property using any method approved by the Manager and prescribed under
Treasury Regulations corresponding to Section 704(c) of the Code. Items described in this
SectionΒ 6.4 shall neither be credited nor charged to the Membersβ Capital Accounts.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.5 Elections. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all elections required or
permitted to be made by the Company under the Code or other applicable tax law, and all
36
Β
decisions
with respect to the calculation of its taxable income or tax loss under the Code or other
applicable tax law, shall be made in such manner as may be reasonably determined by the Manager;
provided that the Company shall make the election to amortize organizational expenses
pursuant to SectionΒ 709 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder provided,
further, that the Company shall not file any election pursuant to SectionΒ 301.7701-3(c) of
the Treasury Regulations to be treated as an entity other than a partnership.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.6 Tax Year. The taxable year of the Company shall be the same as its Fiscal Year.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.7 Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Manager is authorized to take any and all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate
to ensure that the Company satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under
SectionsΒ 1441, 1445, 1446 or any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Manager may withhold from distributions the amount
that it determines is required to be withheld from the amount otherwise distributable to any Member
pursuant to ArticleΒ 5; provided, however, that such amount shall be deemed to have
been distributed to such Member for purposes of applying ArticleΒ 5 and this ArticleΒ 6. The Manager
will not withhold any amounts from cash or other property distributable to any Member to satisfy
any withholding and tax payment obligations to the extent that such Member demonstrates to the
Managerβs satisfaction that such Member is not subject to such withholding and tax payment
obligation. In the event that the Manager withholds or pays tax in respect of any Member for any
period in
excess of the amount of cash or other property otherwise distributable to such Member for such
period (or there is a determination by any taxing authority that the Company should have withheld
or paid any tax for any period in excess of the tax, if any, that it actually withheld or paid for
such period), such excess amount (or such additional amount) shall be treated as a recourse loan to
such Member that shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent per annum and be payable on demand.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.8 Reports to Members.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β If requested by KRH, the books of account and records of the Company shall be audited as
of the end of each Fiscal Year by the Companyβs independent public accountants.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Within 45Β calendar days after the end of each Fiscal Period of each Fiscal Year of the
Company (or if the Company or the Manager files reports under the Exchange Act, such earlier date
as the quarterly report for such Fiscal Period would be due under the Exchange Act), the Company
shall send to each Person who was a Member during such period an unaudited report setting forth the
following as of the end of such Fiscal Period:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β unless such Fiscal Period is the last Fiscal Period of the Fiscal Year, an unaudited
balance sheet as of the end of such period;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β unless such Fiscal Period is the last Fiscal Period of the Fiscal Year, an unaudited
income statement of the Company for such period;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β a statement of each Memberβs Capital Account;
37
Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iv)Β a summary of the Companyβs activities during such period; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (v)Β a cash flow statement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Within 100Β calendar days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company (or the next
Business Day if the 100th calendar day is not a Business Day), the Company shall send to
each Person who was a Member during such period an audited report setting forth the following as of
the end of such Fiscal Year:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β an audited balance sheet as of the end of such Fiscal Year;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β an audited income statement of the Company for such Fiscal Year;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β a statement of each Memberβs Capital Account; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iv)Β a cash flow statement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β The Company shall provide each Member with monthly reports containing the monthly
information that is provided to senior management.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β With reasonable promptness, the Manager will deliver such other information available to
the Manager, including financial statements and computations, as any Member may from time to time
reasonably request in order to comply with regulatory requirements, including reporting
requirements, to which such Member is subject.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.9 Auditors. The auditors of the Company shall be KPMG LLP, unless otherwise
determined by the audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Manager.
Β Β Β Β Β 6.10 Transfers During Year. In order to avoid an interim closing of the Companyβs
books, the allocation of Net Income and Net Losses under this ArticleΒ 6 between a Member who

Membership Units by KRH, such transferee shall not have the rights and powers of KRH to designate

become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement to the same extent as the
Transferring Member, and (ii)Β assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the
obligations of the Transferring Member under this Agreement or to which such Transferring Member is

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Units or other Equity Interests in
the Company shall be subject to any and all ownership
40
Β
limitations contained in this Agreement or
any other agreement with the Company to which such Transferring Member is a party. Any transferee,

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit
plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a βparty-in-interestβ (as defined in SectionΒ 3(14) of ERISA) or a
βdisqualified personβ (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code);
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of
the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department
of Labor Regulations SectionΒ 2510.3-101;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iv)Β if such Transfer requires the registration of such Units pursuant to any applicable
federal, state or foreign securities laws or would otherwise violate any federal, state or foreign
securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Units;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (v)Β unless waived by the Manager after consulting with tax counsel, if such Transfer would
result in the Company being unable to satisfy at least one of the βlack of actual tradingβ safe
harbor of SectionΒ 1.7704-1(j) of the Treasury Regulations or the βprivate placementβ safe harbor of
SectionΒ 1.7704-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (vi)Β if such Transfer subjects the Company to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of
1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (vii)Β if such Transfer may cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership for
U.S. federal or state income tax purposes;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (viii)Β if such Transfer violates any applicable laws; or
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ix)Β if the Company does not receive written instruments (including without limitation, copies
of any instruments of Transfer and such assigneeβs consent to be bound by this Agreement as an
assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Manager (in its sole and absolute discretion).
Β Β Β Β Β 8.2 Substituted Members.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β No Member shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Member in his or her place
with respect to any Units or other Equity Interests in the Company so Transferred (including any
transferee permitted by SectionΒ 8.1) unless (i)Β such Transfer is made
41
Β
in compliance with the terms
of this Agreement and any other agreements with the Company or other Members to which such
transferor Member is a party and (ii)Β such transferee assumes, by
written instrument satisfactory to the Company pursuant to SectionΒ 8.l(b)(ix) above, all the
rights and powers and is subject to all the restrictions and liabilities that were applicable to
the transferor by virtue of the transferorβs ownership of the Units or other Equity Interests in
the Company being Transferred.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Except as provided in SectionΒ 8.2(c) and otherwise in this Agreement, a transferee who has
been admitted as a Member in accordance with SectionΒ 8.2(a) shall have all the rights and powers
and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement holding the
same Units or other Equity Interests in the Company. The admission of any transferee as a Member
shall be subject to the provisions of SectionΒ 3.1.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β In the event of a Transfer by KRH, the transferee shall not have the rights and powers of
KRH under this Agreement unless the transferee is a Permitted Transferee of KRH prior to and
following the Transfer.
Β Β Β Β Β 8.3 Effect of Void Transfers. No Transfer of any Units owned by a Member in violation hereof
shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company, and any such purported Transfer shall be
void and of no effect.
ARTICLE 9
EXCHANGE RIGHT OF MEMBER
Β Β Β Β Β 9.1 Exchange Right of a Member.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Subject to compliance with the conditions to exchange set forth in this ArticleΒ 9,
beginning on DecemberΒ 23, 2008, each Member (other than RHI Inc.) shall be entitled to exchange any
or all of its Membership Units (the βExchange Rightβ) for the consideration set forth in
(b)Β and cause RHI Inc. to purchase such units for such consideration. A Member desiring to
exercise its Exchange Right (the βExchanging Memberβ) shall exercise such right by giving
written notice (the βExchange Noticeβ) to RHI Inc. The Exchange Notice shall specify the
number of Membership Units (the βExchanged Unitsβ) that the Exchanging Member intends to
have RHI Inc. acquire for the consideration set forth in SectionΒ 9.1(b) and a date, which is not
less than seven (7)Β Business Days nor more than 10 Business Days after delivery of the Exchange
Notice, on which exercise of the Exchange Right shall be completed (the βExchange Dateβ).
Unless the Exchanging Member has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in Section
9.1(b), on the Exchange Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the
Exchange Date) (i)Β the Exchanging Member shall transfer and surrender the Exchanged Units to RHI
Inc., free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and (ii)Β RHI Inc. shall transfer to the
Exchanging Member the consideration to which the Exchanging Member is entitled under
SectionΒ 9.1(b).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β In exercising its Exchange Right, an Exchanging Member, at RHI Inc.βs option, shall be
entitled to receive from RHI Inc. the Cash Amount, Shares with an aggregate RHI Market Price equal
to the Cash Amount or a combination of cash and Shares with an
42
Β
aggregate RHI Inc. Market Price equal to the Cash Amount less cash to be received in the Exchange.
Within three (3)Β Business Days of delivery of the Exchange Notice, RHI Inc. shall give written
notice (the βOption Noticeβ) to the Exchanging Member of its intended settlement method;
provided that if RHI Inc. does not timely deliver an Option Notice, RHI Inc. shall be
deemed to have elected to pay the consideration entirely in Shares. If RHI Inc. elects to pay any
amount of the consideration in cash, the Exchanging Member may retract its Exchange Notice by
giving written notice (the βRetraction Noticeβ) to the Company (with a copy to RHI Inc.)
within two (2)Β Business Days of delivery of the Option Notice. The timely delivery of a Retraction
Notice shall terminate all of the Exchanging Memberβs, Companyβs and RHI Inc.βs rights and
obligations under this SectionΒ 9.1 arising from the Exchange Notice.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β The number of Shares and the cash that an Exchanging Member is entitled to receive under
SectionΒ 9.1(b) shall not be adjusted on account of any distributions previously made with respect
to the Exchanged Units or dividends previously paid with respect to RHI Inc. common stock;
provided, however, that if a Exchanging Member causes RHI Inc. to exchange
Exchanged Units and the Exchange Date occurs subsequent to the record date for any distribution
with respect to the Exchanged Units but prior to payment of such distribution, the Exchanging
Member shall be entitled to receive such distribution with respect to the Exchanged Units on the
date that it is made notwithstanding that the Exchanging Member transferred and surrendered the
Exchanged Units to RHI Inc. prior to such date.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Upon consummation of a closing of an Exchange contemplated by this SectionΒ 9.1, each
Membership Unit transferred to RHI Inc. at such closing shall thereafter be registered in the name
of RHI Inc. as a Membership Unit, and the Manager shall modify the register and ExhibitΒ A to
reflect such transfer. In the event that, as a result of an Exchange, KRH shall hold zero
Membership Units, KRH shall cease to be a Member of the Company for any purpose under this
Agreement or the Act.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β The parties shall report an Exchange consummated pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.1 as a taxable
sale of Membership Units by KRH (or such other Exchanging Member) to RHI Inc. and no party shall
take a contrary position on any tax return. At the time of an Exchange, the consideration paid for
the Exchanged Units shall be allocated among the assets of the Company (and any subsidiary of the
Company that is a flow-thru or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) in
accordance with SectionsΒ 755 and 743(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, as reasonably determined by the Manager.
Β Β Β Β Β 9.2 Effect of Exercise of Exchange Right. This Agreement shall continue notwithstanding
the exercise of an Exchanging Memberβs Exchange Right and all governance or other rights set forth
herein shall be exercised by the remaining Members and the Exchanging Member (to the extent of such
Exchanging Memberβs remaining Interest in the Company). No exercise of an Exchanging Memberβs
Exchange Right shall relieve such Exchanging Member of any prior breach of this Agreement.

with applicable law.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.2 Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including as
provided in SectionsΒ 4.3(b)(vi) and 4.3(b)(xix)), amendments to this Agreement shall require a
Majority Member Vote. Amendments to specified provisions require the additional consent of the

amendment that would materially impair the voting power or economic rights of any member in
relation to the other members may be made without the consent of the affected member.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.3 Confidentiality. For a period of three years after the earlier of (x)Β the dissolution
of the Company and the termination of this Agreement or (y)Β the date upon which such Member ceases
to be a Member of the Company:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a) (i)Β Each Member shall use and cause its Affiliates to use the same degree of care it uses
to safeguard its own Confidential Information (as defined below) and to cause its and its
Affiliatesβ directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential all
Confidential Information, including but not limited to Intellectual Property and other Proprietary
Information of the other Members and the Company, and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β Each Member shall hold and shall cause its Affiliates to hold and shall cause its and its
Affiliatesβ directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives to hold in confidence,
unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of counsel,
by the requirements of law, all documents and information concerning any other party hereto
furnished it by such other party or its representatives in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (together with the information referred to in clauseΒ (i) above, the
βConfidential Informationβ), except to the extent that any such information can be shown to
have been (A)Β previously known by the party to which it is
furnished lawfully and without breaching or having breached an obligation of such party or the
disclosing party to keep such documents and information confidential, (B)Β in the public domain
through no fault of the disclosing party, or (C)Β independently developed by the disclosing party
without using or having used the Confidential Information.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Each Member agrees that the Confidential Information of the Company shall only be
disclosed in secrecy and confidence, and is to be maintained by them in secrecy and
44
Β
confidence
subject to the terms hereof. Each Member shall (i)Β not, directly or indirectly, use the
Confidential Information of the Company, except as necessary in the ordinary course of the
Companyβs business, or disclose the Confidential Information of the Company to any third party and
(ii)Β inform all of its employees to whom the Confidential Information of the Company is entrusted
or exposed of the requirements of this Section and of their obligations relating thereto.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β The Company shall preserve the confidentiality of all Confidential Information supplied by
the Members and their Affiliates (βMember Informationβ) to the same extent that a Member
must preserve the confidentiality of Confidential Information pursuant to SectionsΒ 10.3(a) and (b).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Member Information shall not be supplied by the Company or its Subsidiaries to any Person
who is not an employee of the Company or the Manager, including any employee of a Member who is not
an employee of the Company or the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Member Information may
be disclosed to authorized third-party contractors of the Company if the Company determines that
such disclosure is reasonably necessary to further the business of the Company, and if such
contractor executes a non-disclosure agreement preventing such contractor from disclosing such
Member Information for the benefit of each provider of Member Information in a form reasonably
acceptable to KRH. Member Information disclosed by any Member to the Company or the Manager shall
not be shared with any other Member that is not the Manager without the disclosing Memberβs written
consent.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.4 Injunctive Relief. The Company and each Member acknowledge and agree that a violation
of any of the terms of this Agreement will cause the other Members and the Company, as the case may
be, irreparable injury for which an adequate remedy at law is not available. Accordingly, it is
agreed that each of the Members and the Company will be entitled to an injunction, restraining
order or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in
addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or, equity. Nothing stated
herein shall limit any other remedies provided under this Agreement or available to the parties at
law or in equity.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.5 Successors, Assigns and Transferees. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding
upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
Permitted Transferees, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall
confer upon any other Person, including but not limited to any creditor of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, any right, benefit, or remedy of any nature by reason of this Agreement. An
assignment of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, including but not limited to an
assignment by operation of law, shall be null and void unless a provision of this Agreement
specifically provides otherwise or the Company gives its prior written consent therefor.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.6 Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given under or by reason
of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by facsimile,
electronic mail or nationally recognized overnight delivery service and shall be deemed given when
received if delivered on a Business Day during normal business hours of the recipient or, if not so
delivered, on the next Business Day following receipt. Notices to the Company or any
45
Β
Member shall

from time to time. Any party to this Agreement may change its address or fax number for notices,
demands and other communications under this Agreement by giving notice of such change to the other
parties hereto in accordance with this SectionΒ 10.6.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.7 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Joint Venture Agreements and the
documents referred to herein or therein, or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contain the
exclusive entire and final understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and thereof. There are no agreements, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof other than those expressly set forth herein and
therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement together with the other Joint
Venture Agreements supersede all other prior agreements, discussions, negotiations, communications
and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter hereof and thereof. No
party has relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or promise not expressly contained in
this Agreement or another Joint Venture Agreement in connection with this transaction.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.8 Severability. If one or more of the provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases
or sentences contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, then such provision, paragraph, word,
clause, phrase or sentence shall be deemed restated to reflect the original intention of the
parties as nearly as possible in accordance with applicable law and the remainder of this
Agreement. The legality and enforceability of any such provision, paragraph, word, clause, phrase
or sentence in every other respect and of the remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses,
phrases or sentences hereof will not be in any way impaired, it being intended that all
obligations, rights, powers and privileges of the Company and the Members will be enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law. Upon such determination of invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability, the Company and the Members shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement
to effect the original intent of the Members.

different parties on separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which will constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be
legally binding upon the electronic transmission, including by facsimile or email, by each party of
a signed signature page hereof to the other party.
Β Β Β Β Β 10.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of
