ARTICLE 6

ALLOCATIONS OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES

6.1 Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss.

6.1.1 Net Profits. All Net Profit shall be allocated to the Holders in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

6.1.2 Net Loss. Net Loss shall be allocated to the Holders in proportion to their Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, losses allocated to a Holder shall not exceed the maximum amount of losses that can be allocated without causing a Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event that any Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit as a consequence of an allocation of losses in proportion to Percentage Interests (the "Deficit Holder"), the amount of losses that would be allocated to the Deficit Holder but for such allocation shall be allocated to the other Holders in proportion to their revised Percentage Interests ("Revised Percentage Interests"), determined by subtracting the Deficit Holder's Units from both the numerator and denominator of the Percentage Interests calculation, to the extent that such allocations would not cause such other Holders to have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit. In the event that no Holder can receive any loss allocation without having an Adjusted Capital Account deficit, any remaining Net Losses shall be allocated among the Holders in proportion to their Percentage Interests. Any allocation of items of loss pursuant to this Section 6.1.2 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this Article 6, and prior to any allocation of items in such Section, so that the net amount of any items allocated to each Holder pursuant to this Article 6, shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Holder pursuant to this Article 6 if no reallocation of losses had occurred under this Section 6.1.2.

6.2 Taxation Acts Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article 6, in accordance with Taxation Acts and the regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for income tax purposes and its fair market value on the date of contribution. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state, commonwealth, and local taxes. As such, they shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing a Member's Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, or other items of Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

6.3 Allocation of Net Profits 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 of the Company, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company for such Fiscal Year allocable, and cash which is distributable, to the holder of the Membership Interest for the then Fiscal Year shall be allocated and distributed based on a method consistent with the Taxation Acts.

ARTICLE 7

DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Distributions by the Company. Subject to applicable law and the provisions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to mandatory and preferred Distributions to be made to Holders of the Preferred Units, the Board may elect from time to time to make Distributions from net cash flow, as set forth in this Article. All such Distributions shall be made only to the Persons who, according to the

books and records of the Company, are the holders of record of the Economic Interests in respect of which such Distributions are made on the actual date of Distribution. Neither the Company nor the Board shall incur any liability for making Distributions in accordance with this Article 7, so long as such Distributions are in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.1.1 Non-Liquidating Distributions. Distributions other than Liquidating Distributions shall be distributed to the Holders of Common Units pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests after Distributions are made to any Holders of Preferred Units.

7.1.2 Liquidating Distributions. Distributions resulting from a Liquidating Transaction ("Liquidating Distributions") shall be distributed to the Holders in the following order and priority:

(a) First, to the Holders who then hold Preferred Units in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus any declared but unpaid dividends ("Liquidation Payments");

(b) Thereafter, all Liquidating Distributions shall be distributed to the Holders of Common Units, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Written notice of a Liquidating Transaction that gives rise to a Liquidating Distribution, stating a payment date, the amount of the Liquidation Payments to be made pursuant hereto and the place where said Liquidation Payments shall be payable shall be given by overnight courier and otherwise in accordance with section 14.12, not less than 90 days prior to the payment date stated therein to the Holders, such notice to be addressed to each such Holder at his post office address as shown by the records of the Company. After giving notice of a Liquidating Transaction, the Company shall respond to all reasonable requests for information by the Holders with respect to determining their rights hereunder.

7.2 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding the preceding, before any Distribution is made pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall make Distributions to the Holders in an amount intended to enable the Holders to discharge their federal, state, commonwealth, and local income tax liabilities arising from the allocations of any items of income of the Company made to the Holders by the Company for any Fiscal Year. The amount payable to each Holder for any Fiscal Year shall be equal to the product of such Holder's allocation of such items of income multiplied by a rate equal to the highest marginal personal income tax rate for such Fiscal Year (the "Income Tax Rate"). Estimated tax Distributions of a Holder's tax liability shall be made in four cash installments not later than fifteen (15) days before taxes are due, based upon the Board's good faith estimate of the Company's income and such Holder's distributive share thereof. The Board shall distribute to each Holder, not later than April 10th of the year following the close of each taxable year of the Company, the balance of all amounts required to be distributed under this Section.

7.3 Form of Distribution. A Holder, regardless of the nature of such Holder's Capital Contribution, has no right to demand and receive any Distribution from the Company in any form other than money. No Holder may be compelled to accept from the Company a Distribution of any asset in kind in lieu of a proportionate Distribution of money being made to other Holders. No Holder may be compelled to accept a Distribution of any asset in kind.

7.4 Restriction on Distributions. No Distribution (including tax Distributions pursuant to Section 7.2) shall be made if, after giving effect to the Distribution: (i) the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or (ii) the Company's total assets would be

less than the sum of its total liabilities plus, unless otherwise prohibited by law, the amount that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of the Distribution, to satisfy the Liquidation Payments and other preferential rights of other Members, if any, upon dissolution that are superior to the rights of the Member receiving the Distribution.

7.5 Return of Distributions. Except for Distributions made in violation of the Act or this Agreement, no Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be obligated to return any Distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any Distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company.

ARTICLE 8

TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT OF UNITS

8.1 Transfer and Assignment of Interests. No Member shall be entitled to transfer, assign, convey, sell, encumber or in any way alienate (collectively “Transfer”) all or any of his, her or its Units, except for (a) Transfers in connection with the exercise of Exchange Rights, (b) Transfers in connection with a Liquidity Event, (c) Transfers among Members, (d) Transfers in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, (e) Transfers to Permitted Transferees, or (f) Transfers with the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be given or withheld, conditioned or delayed (as allowed by this Agreement or the Act), as the Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion (individually, a “Permitted Transfer” and collectively, “Permitted Transfers”). Transfers in violation of this Article 8 shall only be effective to the extent set forth in Section 8.6. After the consummation of any Transfer of Units, the Units so transferred shall continue to be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any further Transfers shall be required to comply with all the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

8.2 Further Restrictions on Transfer of Units. In addition to other restrictions found in this Agreement, no Member shall Transfer all or any of his, her or its Units: (i) without compliance with Section 8.3, and (ii) if the Units to be Transferred, assigned, sold or exchanged, when added to the total of all other Units sold or exchanged in the preceding twelve (12) consecutive months prior thereto, would cause the termination of the Company as a limited liability company.

8.3 Substitution of Members. A transferee of Units shall have the right to become a substitute Member only if (i) the requirements of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof have been met, (ii) such Person executes an instrument satisfactory to the Board accepting and adopting the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (iii) such person pays any reasonable expenses in connection with its admission as a new Member, and (iv) the Board consents to the substitution, which consent may be given or withheld in the Board's sole and absolute discretion. Admission of a substitute Member shall not result in the release of the Member who assigned the Units from any liability such Member may have to the Company.

8.4 Effective Date of Permitted Transfers. Any Permitted Transfer of Units shall be effective as of the date upon which the requirements of Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 have been met. The Board shall provide the Members with written notice of such Permitted Transfer as promptly as possible after such requirements have been met.

8.5 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 the Certificate or this Agreement to give an assignee the right to become a Member. If a Member is a corporation, trust, or other entity and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor.

8.6 No Effect to Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Upon any Transfer of a Unit in violation of this Article 8, the Transferee shall have no right to vote or participate in the management of the business, property and affairs of the Company or to exercise any rights of a Member. Such transferee shall only be entitled to become an Economic Interest Owner and thereafter shall only receive the share of the Company's Net Profits, Net Losses and Distributions of the Company's assets to which the transferor of such Economic Interest would otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in the determination of the Board, a Transfer in violation of this Article 8 would cause the termination of the Company under the Taxation Acts, in the sole discretion of the Board, the Transfer shall be null and void and the purported transferee shall not become either a Member or an Economic Interest Owner. Upon and contemporaneously with any Transfer, assignment, conveyance or sale (whether arising out of an attempted charge upon that Member's Economic Interest by judicial process, a foreclosure by a creditor of the Member or otherwise) of a Member's Economic Interest which does not at the same time Transfer the balance of the rights associated with the Units transferred by the Member (including, without limitation, the rights of the Member to vote or participate in the management of the business, property and affairs of the Company), the Company shall purchase from the Member, and the Member shall sell to Company for a purchase price of $100, all remaining rights and interests retained by the Member that immediately before the Transfer, assignment, conveyance or sale were associated with the transferred Economic Interest. Such purchase and sale shall not, however, result in the release of the Member from any liability to the Company as a Member.

8.7 Permitted Transferees. The Membership Interests of the Members may be transferred to a Permitted Transferee of such Member provided that any such Permitted Transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by, and to comply with, all applicable provisions of this Agreement, in which case such Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to be a Member thereafter, for purposes of this Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Member may not sell, pledge or Transfer all or any portion of the securities representing Units held by him or it to a competitor of the Company.

8.8 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Initial Members or the Board receive a bona fide written offer for a Fundamental Transaction from any Person, other than from a Permitted Transferee (a “Prospective Purchaser”), then the other Members holding Class A Units or (if applicable) Class C Units shall, provided that the conditions in Section 8.8(b) are satisfied, (i) vote for, consent to and/or not raise objections against such Fundamental Transaction, (ii) waive (to the extent applicable) any rights of dissent or appraisal or similar rights arising in connection with the Fundamental Transaction and (iii) take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction as may be reasonably requested by the Initial Members and the Board.

By their execution of this Agreement each Holder of Class A Units agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section and vote all of their Class A Units IN FAVOR of such Fundamental Transaction. This voting agreement shall remain in full force and effect throughout the time that this Section is in effect.

(b) Procedure. The Initial Member agrees that upon the transmittal of the Tag-Along Notice, they shall be obligated to sell to the Prospective Purchaser the Membership Interests of the Tag-Along Member in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer made by the Prospective Purchaser. If a Tag-Along Notice has been delivered, the Other Members shall participate in such sale and shall receive, in the event of such sale, an amount of consideration in respect of their Membership Interests that the Other Members would receive if the Company’s assets were sold for the proposed aggregate consideration, such associated gain or loss was allocated among the all Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests and then such consideration was distributed to the Tag-Along Member in accordance with the amount by which the Percentage Interest and number of Units owned by the Tag-Along Member bears to 100% of all Percentage Interests and the total number of all outstanding Units in the Company. Any sale pursuant to this Section shall close pursuant to the terms set forth in the final agreement with the Prospective Purchaser. The closing of such purchase and sale shall occur within 30 days after the delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (is applicable) or at such other time as such Initial Members and the Prospective Purchaser may agree. In the event that a Fundamental Transaction subject to this Section is to be made to a Prospective Purchaser that is not a Member, the Initial Members shall notify the Prospective Purchaser that the Transfer is subject to this Section and shall ensure that no Transfer is consummated without the Prospective Purchaser first complying with this Section. It shall be the responsibility of each transferring Member to determine whether any transaction to which it is a party is subject to this Section.

8.10 Assignee’s Rights. Any purported assignment of a Membership Interest in the Company that is not in compliance with this Agreement is hereby declared to be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever. A permitted assignee of any Membership Interest in the Company is entitled to receive distributions of cash or other property from the Company and to receive allocations of the income, gains, credits, deductions, Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company attributable to the Membership Interest after the effective date of the assignment.

8.11 Satisfactory Written Assignment Required. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, both the Company and the Initial Members will be entitled to treat the assignor of a Membership Interest in the Company as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and will incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to him, until a written assignment that conforms to the requirements of this Article has been received by, accepted and recorded on the books of, the Company.

8.12 Death, Bankruptcy or Incapacity of a Member. The death, bankruptcy or adjudicated incompetency of a Member will not cause a dissolution of the Company, but the rights of the Member to share in the Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company and to receive Distributions devolve to his successor, executor, administrator, guardian or other legal representative for the purpose of settling his estate or administering his or its property, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Company will continue as a limited liability company. The estate of the Member is liable for all the obligations of the deceased, bankrupt or incapacitated Member.

8.13 Issuance of Certificates. The Company may issue to each Member one or more certificates in such Member’s name representing, in aggregate, the Membership Interests held by such Member, and certifying that such Member is in fact a Member on the Company’s books and records. Each certificate shall be numbered and registered in the order in which it is issued. Upon issuance, the name in which each certificate has been issued, together with the Membership Interests represented thereby and the date of issuance, shall be entered into the books and records of the Company.

8.14 Transfer of Membership Interests. Upon the Transfer of one or more Membership Interests in accordance and compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall, upon receipt of the existing certificate representing the Membership Interests transferred (or an affidavit of loss with appropriate indemnity), issue replacement certificates, one to the transferring Member representing the Membership Interests remaining after such Transfer, if any, and one to the transferee of the transferred Membership Interests representing such transferred Membership Interests.

8.15 Members of Record. The Company shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any certificates as the holder in fact thereof, and accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in the Membership Interests represented thereby on the part of any other Person, whether or not the Company shall have actual, express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise specified by any applicable law, statute, rule, or regulation.

8.16 Legend. Each certificate issued will be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

The Tax Matters Partner shall oversee the Company’s tax affairs in the overall best interests of the Company.

ARTICLE 10

DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

10.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved, its assets shall be disposed of, and its affairs wound up on the first to occur of the following:

10.1.1 Upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Article 19.48 of the Act;

10.1.2 Upon the vote of Initial Members or Members holding not less than eighty (80%) percent of all outstanding Common Units of Membership Interest of the Company entitled to vote; or

10.1.3 Following the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Company or a Fundamental Transaction resulting in the merger of consolidation of the Company with or into another Person.

10.2 Certificate of Dissolution. As soon as possible following the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.1, the Board (if the Board has not wrongfully dissolved the Company) or the Members, shall execute a Certificate of Dissolution in such form as shall be prescribed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and file the Certificate of Dissolution as required by the Act.

10.3 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 10.1, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Board (if the Board has not wrongfully dissolved the Company) or the Members, shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of Company, shall take full account of the liabilities of Company and assets, shall either cause its assets to be sold or distributed, and if sold as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as provided in Section 10.5. The Persons winding up the affairs of the Company shall give written notice of the commencement of winding up by mail to all known creditors and claimants whose addresses appear on the records of the Company. The Board or Members winding up the affairs of the Company shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for such services.

10.4 Distributions in Kind. Subject to the allocation of R&D Tax Credits solely to Holders of Class A Units, any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Holders shall first be valued at its fair market value to determine the Net Profit or Net Loss that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value, such Net Profit or Net Loss shall then be allocated pursuant to Article 6, and the Holders' Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect such allocations. The amount distributed and charged to the Capital Account of each Holder receiving an interest in such distributed asset shall be the fair market value of such interest (net of any liability secured by such asset that such Member assumes or takes subject to). The fair market value of such asset shall be determined by the Manager or by the Members or, if any Member objects, by an independent appraiser (any such appraiser must be recognized as an expert in valuing the type of asset involved) selected by the Manager or liquidating trustee and approved by a Super Majority Approval of the Board.

10.5 Order of Payment of Liabilities Upon Dissolution.

10.5.1 After determining that all known debts and liabilities of the Company in the process of winding-up, including, without limitation, debts and liabilities to Members who are creditors of the Company, have been paid or adequately provided for, the remaining assets shall be distributed as Liquidating Distributions to the Holders. Liquidating Distributions shall be made by the end of the Company's taxable year in which the Company is liquidated, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation.

10.5.2 The payment of a debt or liability, whether the whereabouts of the creditor is known or unknown, has been adequately provided for if the payment has been provided for by either of the following means:

(a) Payment thereof has been assumed or guaranteed in good faith by one or more financially responsible persons or by the United States government or any agency thereof, and the provision, including the financial responsibility of the Person, was determined in good faith and with reasonable care by the Members or Manager to be adequate at the time of any Distribution of the assets pursuant to this Section.

(b) The amount of the debt or liability has been deposited.

This Section 10.5.2 shall not prescribe the exclusive means of making adequate provision for debts and liabilities.

10.6 Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Holder shall only be entitled to look solely at the assets of the Company for the return of its positive Capital Account balance and shall have no recourse for its Capital Contribution and/or share of Net Profits (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Manager or any other Member except as provided in Article 11.

10.7 No Action for Dissolution. Except as expressly permitted in Section 10.1, a Member shall not take any voluntary action under the Act to cause the Company to dissolve. The Members acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Company if any Member should bring an action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section 10.1. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the Economic Interests. Accordingly, except where the Board has failed to liquidate the Company as required by this Article 10, each Member hereby waives and renounces its right to initiate legal action to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company or to seek a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company on the ground that (a) it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business of the Company in conformity with the Certificate or this Agreement, or (b) dissolution is reasonably necessary for the protection of the rights or interests of the complaining Member. Damages for breach of this Section shall be monetary damages only (and not specific performance), and the damages may be offset against Distributions by the Company to which such Member would otherwise be entitled.

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

11.1 Indemnification of Agents. For the purposes of this Section 11.1, "agent" shall mean any Person who was or is (i) a Member, (ii) a Manager or member of the Board, (iii) an Affiliate of a Member or Manager, (iv) any member, officer, shareholder, director, attorney, agent, representative or employee of a Member or Manager or their Affiliates, or (iv) an officer of the Company; "proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or investigative; and "expenses" includes without limitation attorneys' fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under this Section 11.1.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify each agent, and to save and hold him or it harmless, from and in respect of (a) all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with or resulting from any demand, claim, action or proceeding against such agent or the Company which arises out of or in any way relates to the Company or its properties, business or affairs, and (b) all such demands, claims, actions and proceedings and any losses or damages resulting therefrom, including judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement or compromise of any such demand, claim, action or proceeding; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not extend to conduct by an agent proved to constitute actual fraud or willful malfeasance. Unless the Manager otherwise determines, the Company shall pay the expenses incurred by any agent in connection with any proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking of such agent to repay such payment if there shall be a final adjudication or determination that such agent is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein.

11.2 Insurance. The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an agent of the Company against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person's status as an agent, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of Section 11.1 or under applicable law.

11.2 Indemnification between Growblox and the Company.

(a) Growblox hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the Company, the Board, the Manager, its employees and representatives, and each of its other Members (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any cost, expense, claim or liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (each a “Claim”) arising out of the conduct of the Company Business or the Growblox Business on or prior to the Effective Date, and Growblox shall pay to the corresponding payee in full when due, all Claims incurred or assumed by Growblox or any Affiliate thereof (excluding the Company) on behalf of or for the account of the Company Indemnified Parties.

(b) Growblox hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the Company Indemnified Parties from and against any Claim arising out of any activity engaged in by Growblox in connection with its conduct of the Growblox Business following the Effective Date.

(c) Except for Claims that Growblox is otherwise required to indemnify the Company under the Commercialization Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Growblox and each of its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, employees and representatives (collectively, the “Growblox Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Claim arising out of any activity engaged in by the Company in connection with its conduct of the Company Business following the Effective Date.

12.1.1 the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act; and

13.2 Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means all trade secrets, "know-how," customer lists, pricing policies, operational methods, programs, and other business information of the Company, created, developed, produced, or otherwise arising before the date of the sale or other Transfer.

Each Member expressly waives any claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law might exist for any such breach.

13.4 Waiver of Fiduciary Duty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on the Manager, any member of the Board or their Affiliates. Further, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or equity, the Members and the Company hereby waive any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by law or in equity, and in doing so, recognize, acknowledge and agree that the duties and obligations of the members of the Board and the Manager to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Additionally, each Member and the Company acknowledges that the members of the Board, the Manager and their respective Affiliates own and/or manage other businesses, including businesses that may compete with the Company and the other Members.

(ii) neither the Company nor any other Member shall have any right in or to such other business opportunities of the members of the Board, the Manager and their respective Affiliates or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom; and

(iii) the members of the Board, the Manager and their respective Affiliates shall not be obligated to present any business opportunity to the Company or any other Member (even if the opportunity is of the character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, or if presented to any other Member, could be taken by such Persons), and the members of the Board and the Manager shall have the right to hold any such business opportunity for his, its or their own account or to recommend such opportunity to Persons other than the Company or any other Member (including, without limitation, any opportunity that may be within the scope and investment objectives of the Company and/or that may be otherwise competitive with the business of the Company and/or the Company Business).

The provisions of this Section are equally applicable to the members of the Board and the Manager, whether acting in their capacity as a Board member or the Manager or (as to the Manager) in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.
