shall determine the Oregon FCF for each calendar year, and the Company shall
notify the Class B Members of any such determinations on or prior to February 28
following the applicable Fiscal Year.
(c) In the event that all Class B Members disagree with the
calculation of Oregon FCF determined by the LLC Accountants, the Class B Members
may elect, by written notice delivered to the LLC within 15 days after receipt
of the LLC's calculation of Oregon FCF, to engage independent accountants
("Class B Accountants") at the Class B Members' expense, to review the LLC's

cooperate, with the Class B Accountants, and shall make available to the Class B
Accountants the LLC's relevant work papers used in the calculation of Oregon
FCF. The Class B Members shall deliver the Class B Accountant's calculation of
Oregon FCF to the LLC within 60 days of the delivery of the LLC's calculation of
Oregon FCF. If, within 30 days after the Class B Members' delivery of the Class
B Accountant's calculation of Oregon FCF, the LLC and the Class B Members have
not reached an agreement as to the Oregon FCF for such preceding Fiscal Year,
the LLC and the Class B Members shall engage a third, unaffiliated independent
accounting firm ("Independent Accountants") to calculate the Oregon FCF. The
decision of the Independent Accountants shall be final and binding. The LLC and
the Class B Members shall share the costs and expenses associated with the
engagement of the Independent Accountants. If the Independent Accounts determine
that the Oregon FCF is more than 105% of the determination of the LLC
Accountants, then the LLC shall be responsible for the costs of the Independent
Accountants, and shall reimburse the Class B Members for the reasonable costs of
the Class B Accountants.
(d) Within 10 business days after the end of each calendar
quarter, the Board shall cause to be distributed to the Class B Members, pro
rata in accordance with their respective holdings of outstanding Class B
Membership Points, not less than forty percent (40%) of the estimated
undistributed Oregon Manager FCF (if any) applicable to such quarter of each
Fiscal Year.
(e) Within 75 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the
Board shall cause to be distributed to the Class B Members, pro rata in
accordance with their respective holdings of outstanding Class B Membership
Points, the theretofore undistributed portion of Oregon Manager FCF (if any)
applicable to such Fiscal Year. If the distributions to Class B Members during
any Fiscal Year exceed the Oregon Member
4
FCF applicable to such Fiscal Year, then the Class B Members shall return any
such excess to the LLC within 75 days after the end of such Fiscal Year.
(f) The LLC shall not make any distributions to the Class B
Members that violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law.
(g) There shall be allocated to the Class B Members, pro rata
with respect to their holdings of Class B Membership Points, profits equal to
the Oregon Manager FCF. No other profits or losses shall be allocated to the
Class B Members. All other profits and losses of the LLC, including the other
fifty percent (50%) of the Oregon Surplus FCF, shall be allocated as otherwise
provided in Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of this Agreement.
(h) Section 6.7 of this Agreement shall apply to the Class B
Members and their respective Class B Membership Points on the same terms as set
forth in respect of the Common Members and their respective Common Membership
Points.
15.3 Put Right. At any time and from time to time during each Put
Window, each Class B Member shall have the right to sell to Wilmington, and
Wilmington shall have the obligation to purchase, for the B Put Price (payable
to such Class B Member within 15 days after the end of the applicable Put
Window, such amount to accrue simple interest at the prime rate if unpaid at the
end of such 15-day period until such amount is paid) a portion of the Class B
Membership Points then held by such Class B Member; provided, however, that no
Class B Member shall sell pursuant to this Section 15.3 more than fifty percent
(50%) of the aggregate Class B Membership Points issued initially to such Class
B Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total number of Class B
Membership Points elected to be sold during any Put Window pursuant to this
Section 15.3 by all Class B Members (the "Total Class B Election") exceeds
twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of Class B Membership Points
issued initially to all Class B Members (the "Yearly Limit"), then each Class B
Member may sell pursuant to this Section 15.3 that number of his Class B
Membership Points equal to the Yearly Limit multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of Class B Membership Points elected to be sold
by such Class B Member, and the denominator of which is the Total Class B
Election during such Put Window.
15.4 Transfer. Class B Members shall be permitted to make Transfers of
Class B Membership Interests as provided in Section 7.1(b) of the Agreement.
15.5 Reorganization. If at any time or from time to time there shall be
a reorganization or other change in the business structure of the LLC, including
without limitation a conversion to a subchapter "C" corporation (a "Structure
Change") approved by the Board, then each Class B Member shall exchange such
Class B Member's Class B Membership Interest for the applicable interest in the
resulting entity (the "Exchange Interest") as determined by the Board; provided,
however, that any such Exchange Interest shall have economic rights and
characteristics substantially equivalent to the applicable Class B Membership
Interest (including with respect to distributions of Oregon Manager FCF and
sales of Class B Membership Interests).

(a) If (i) the LLC terminates the employment of any Class B
Member (x) without Cause, (y) pursuant to either Sections 5.1(e) or 5.1(f) of

such Class B Member within 15 days after any such event occurs, such amount to
accrue simple interest at the prime rate if unpaid at the end of such 15-day
period until such amount is paid) price equal to [ * ] multiplied by the
Oregon Manager FCF for the twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the
effective date of such termination, or the closing of such sale or deemed sale
(as the case may be), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total number of Class B Membership Points then owned by such Class B Member, and
the denominator of which is the total number of Class B Membership Points then
outstanding.
(b) If (i) the LLC terminates the employment of any Class B
Member for Cause, or if (ii) such employment is terminated by such Class B
Member (x) without Good Reason, or (y) pursuant to such Class B Member's
election not to renew the Term in accordance with Section 1 of such Class B
Member's Employment Agreement prior to the Outside Termination Date, then such
Class B Member shall sell, and Wilmington shall purchase, all of such Class B
Member's Class B Membership Points for a purchase price (payable to such Class B
Member within 15 days after any such event occurs, such amount to accrue simple
interest at the prime rate if unpaid at the end of such 15-day period until such
amount is paid) equal to [ * ] multiplied by the Oregon Manager FCF for the
twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the effective date of such
termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number
of Class B Membership Points then owned by such Class B Members, and the
denominator of which is the total number of Class B Membership Points then
outstanding.

Reason", "Term", and "Disability", shall all have the meanings set forth in the
applicable Employment Agreement between any Class B Member and the LLC (the
"Employment Agreement"). Any and all determinations concerning any such
termination of employment of a Class B Member shall be made pursuant to such
applicable Employment Agreement.
