Section 2.2. Rights and Powers of the Sole LLC Member; Voting. Other than as set forth in this LLC Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this LLC Agreement and the Act, the Sole LLC Member shall not participate in the management or control of the Company’s business nor shall the Sole LLC Member transact any business for the Company, nor shall the Sole LLC Member have the power to act for or bind the Company, said powers being vested solely and exclusively in the Board of Directors. Subject to the right of the Board of Directors to fill any vacancies as provided in the Constitution (as defined below), the Sole LLC Member shall have the sole right to elect each of the Non-Industry Directors (as defined in the Constitution) and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as a director (who shall be elected as the Chief Executive Officer and thereafter nominated by the Board of Directors for a directorship by virtue of his or her office, as provided in Section 4.6 of the Constitution), and shall have no other voting rights, except with respect to those matters specifically set forth in this LLC Agreement and as required by the Act. In particular, the Sole LLC Member shall have no voting rights with respect to any increase in the number of authorized PMM Rights (as defined below) or CMM Rights (as defined below; such voting rights referred to as the “Core Rights”), the election of the Exchange Directors (as defined in the Constitution) or any other matters relating to the Exchange Rights (as defined below).

INTERESTS AND TAX TREATMENT
Section 3.1. Interest. The Company shall be authorized to issue a single class of Limited Liability Company Interest, as defined in the Act (the “Interest”), to the Sole LLC Member, which shall convey all of the rights of the Sole LLC Member under this Agreement, all rights to the profits and losses of the Company and the right to receive distributions of the assets of the Company.

Section 3.3. Tax Characterization; Returns; Distributions in Respect of Taxes. It is the intention of the Sole LLC Member that the Company be disregarded as an entity for tax purposes, so that the Sole LLC Member will be treated as owning all of the Company’s assets directly, as recognizing all of the Company’s income and loss directly, and as being entitled to all distributions for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. All provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Formation and this LLC Agreement are to be construed so as to preserve that tax status. Each of the Directors (as defined below) and officers of the Company and the Sole LLC Member is authorized to file any necessary elections with tax authorities. At the request of the Sole LLC Member, the Company shall make distributions to the Sole LLC Member in amounts sufficient to fund payments of taxes by the Sole LLC Member attributable to the assets, income and losses of the Company.
