1.04 Term of Company

The term of the Company shall commence on March 7, 2002, and shall continue into perpetuity, unless the Company is wound up and dissolved pursuant to Article VIII. The existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall continue until the cancellation of the Company’s Certificate of Formation.

The term “Unit” means any and all rights and interest of the holder thereof as a member of the Company under this Agreement and the Delaware Act including, without limitation, the right to share in the Net Profits, Net Losses, Cash Flow and capital of the Company, any right to vote or participate in the management of the Company as a member, any right to information concerning the business and affairs of the Company, and any and all other rights and interests of a member of the Company under this Agreement and the Delaware Act.

There shall be three (3) classes of Units: “Class A Units,” “Class B Units” and “Class C Units.” Each class of Units shall have the rights, preferences and privileges set forth for such class in this Agreement.

The Class A Units and the Class B Units (other than the Units held by Broadwing) are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Voting Units.” The Class A Members and the Class B Members exclusive in each case of Broadwing are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Voting Members.” As used herein, the term “Majority Vote” means, with respect to each class of Voting Members, greater than fifty percent (50%) of the votes of the Members entitled to vote in each such class of Members.

(i) Other Matters. Any other matters as the Board of Directors, in its reasonable discretion, may from time to time elect to submit to the vote of the Voting Members;

2.03 Compensation and Reimbursements

(a) Compensation.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Directors shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses incurred in attending any meetings of the Board of Directors including, without limitation, travel, accommodations and other incidental expenses.

(c) Treatment of Compensation. For financial and income tax reporting purposes, any and all compensation paid by the Company to any Member for performing services on behalf of the Company shall be treated as an expense of the Company and as a guaranteed payment within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code. To the extent any accrued portion of any such compensation is not paid in full prior to the liquidation of the Company, such unpaid portion of such compensation shall constitute a debt of the Company payable upon such liquidation.

2.04 Designation of Officers

The Board of Directors may, from time to time, appoint one (1) or more individuals to be officers (“Officers”) of the Company. Any Officers so appointed shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board of Directors may, from time to time, delegate to them. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines, if the title assigned to an Officer of the Company is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authority and duties that are customarily associated with such office pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any number of titles may be held by the same Officer. Any Officer to whom a delegation is made pursuant to the foregoing shall serve in the capacity delegated unless and until such delegation is revoked by the Board of Directors or such Officer resigns. Any Officer may be removed from office for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, by the Board of Directors without prejudice to the rights, if any, of any such Officer under any employment agreement between that Officer and the Company.

2.05 Affiliate Transactions

The Members acknowledge that the Company and/or the Operating Company shall enter into various transactions and/or contracts with one (1) or more of the Members and/or their Affiliates, including, without limitation, the Makewell Guaranty, the A&C Letter Agreement and the Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Affiliate Contracts”). The Members expressly approve the execution and delivery of the Affiliate Contracts and the terms and conditions contained therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Members expressly authorize and approve the payment of any and all fees, compensation or other amounts under the Affiliate Contracts, including, without limitation, the payment of any such fees, compensation or other amounts, to any Member and/or Affiliate thereof.

2.06 Conflicts of Interest

No contract or transaction between the Company and one (1) or more of the Covered Persons shall be void or voidable solely by reason of such contractual relationship, or solely because the interested Covered Person(s) is (are) present at or participate(s) in the meeting of the Board of Directors which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose. In addition, no contract or transaction shall be void or voidable if:

(a) Disclosure of Material Facts to Board of Directors or Investment Committee. The material facts as to his, her or their relationship and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested Directors of the Board of Directors even though the disinterested Directors constitute less than a quorum;

(b) Disclosure of Material Facts to Members. The material facts as to his, her or their relationship and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Members and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by a Majority Vote of the disinterested Voting Members; or

(c) Fair Contract. The contract or transaction is fair to the Company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors.

2.07 Limited Liability

Except as otherwise provided by the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Members shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a member of the Company.

were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.02(b) through 4.02(d) for the current and all prior fiscal years of the Company), less (ii) any Net Losses previously allocated to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) for the current and all prior fiscal years of the Company;

(b) Second Tier Losses. Second, any remaining Net Losses shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to, and to the extent of, their respective positive Adjusted Capital Account balances, if any; and

(c) Third Tier Losses. Thereafter, any remaining Net Losses shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

4.02 Net Profits

Net Profits of the Company for each fiscal year (or part thereof) shall be allocated to the Members at the end of such fiscal year (or part thereof) in the following order of priority:

(a) First Tier Profits. First, to the Members in proportion to, and to the extent of, the excess, if any, of (i) any Net Losses previously allocated to the Members pursuant to Sections 4.01(b) through 4.01(c) for the current and all prior fiscal years of the Company (such Net Profits to be allocated in the reverse order in which such Net Losses were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.01(b) through 4.01(c) for the current and all prior fiscal years of the Company), less (ii) any Net Profits previously allocated to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) for the current and all prior fiscal years of the Company;

(b) Second Tier Profits. Second, any remaining Net Profits shall be allocated to the Class C Members, in proportion to the amount by which the accrued Preferred Allocation of each such Class C Member exceeds the difference between (i) the Net Profits previously allocated to such Class C Member pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) for all fiscal periods since the inception of the Company, and (ii) the Net Losses previously allocated to such Class C Member pursuant to Section 4.01(a) for all fiscal periods since the inception of the Company (that are attributable to this Section 4.02(b)), until the cumulative Net Profits allocated pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) are equal to the aggregate amount of such excess for all Class C Members;

(c) Third Tier Profits. Third, (i) a percentage of any remaining Net Profits equal to the Class C Percentage shall be allocated to the Class C Members in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares and (ii) a percentage of such remaining Net Profits equal to the Class A Percentage shall be allocated to the Class A Members in proportion to the amount by which the accrued Preferred Dividends of each such Class A Member for all fiscal periods since the inception of the Company exceeds the difference between (A) the Net Profits previously allocated to such Class A Member pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) for all fiscal periods since the inception of the Company and (B) the Net Losses previously allocated to such Class A Member pursuant to Section 4.01(a) for all fiscal periods since the inception of the Company (that are attributable to this Section 4.02(c)), until the cumulative Net Profits allocated to the Class A Members pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) are equal to the aggregate amount of such excess for all Class A Members; and

(d) Fourth Tier Profits. Thereafter, any remaining Net Profits shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

4.03 Special Allocations

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Net Losses or item of expense, loss or deduction shall be allocated to any Member to the extent such an allocation would cause or increase a deficit balance standing in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account and any such Net Losses shall instead be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective “interests” in the Company as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). In addition, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with and to the extent required by the qualified income offset provisions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article IV, (i) any and all “partnership nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the Company for any fiscal year or other period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests; (ii) any and all “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) attributable to any “partner nonrecourse debt” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Member that bears the “economic risk of loss” (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2) for such “partner nonrecourse debt” in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(l); (iii) each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in accordance with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(g); and (iv) each Member with a share of the minimum gain attributable to any “partner nonrecourse debt” shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in accordance with the partner minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(5). For purposes of determining the Members’ respective shares of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” pursuant to Code Section 752 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Company profits shall be deemed to equal such Member’s Percentage Interest.

4.04 Curative Allocations

The allocations set forth in Section 4.03 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.04. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Board of Directors shall cause the Company to make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02. In

exercising its discretion under this Section 4.04, the Board of Directors shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under the first two (2) sentences of Section 4.03 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under the provisions of Section 4.03.

4.05 Differing Tax Basis; Tax Allocation

Depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions and other items of income, gain, loss deduction and credit with respect to each item of property treated as contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and for state income tax purposes in accordance with comparable provisions of any applicable state laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value (as determined for purposes of the maintenance of Capital Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)) under such method or methods selected by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS

5.01 Cash Flow

Subject to Sections 5.03 and 8.02, Cash Flow of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in the following order of priority:

(a) Preferred Dividends. First, (i) a percentage of such Cash Flow equal to the Class C Percentage shall be distributed to the Class C Members in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares, and (ii) a percentage of such Cash Flow equal to the Class A Percentage shall be distributed to the Class A Members in proportion to their respective accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends, if any, until the aggregate cumulative distributions made (A) to the Class A Members pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) are equal to their respective accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends, and (B) to the Class C Members are equal to the cumulative distributions made to the Class A Members under clause (A) above multiplied by a fraction the denominator of which is the Class C Percentage and the denominator of which is the Class A Percentage; and

(b) Percentage Interests. Thereafter, any remaining Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

5.02 Tax Distributions

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01, if the amount of any Cash Flow distributed to any Member through the end of any fiscal year of the Company is less than such Member’s Tax Liability for such fiscal year (“Excess Tax Liability”), then the Company shall be obligated to make a distribution of Cash Flow (the “Tax Distribution”) to each such Member in an amount equal to such Member’s Excess Tax Liability. Tax Distributions shall be made on or before March 30 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year that the determination of any Excess

Tax Liability is made. To the extent there is insufficient Cash Flow to make any required Tax Distributions, such Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Excess Tax Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member shall be obligated to contribute additional capital or otherwise advance any funds to the Company in order to enable the Company to make Tax Distributions in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02. Any and all Tax Distributions made to any Member in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02 shall be taken into account in calculating subsequent distributions of Cash Flow to the Members pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 8.02, so that the net amount of Cash Flow distributed to all of the Members shall be equal to the net amount that would have been distributed to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.01 and 8.02 if Tax Distributions had not been made to any Member.

5.03 Cash Flow Override

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.01 and 5.02, no distribution of Cash Flow shall be made to any Class C Member to the extent that any such distribution would cause or increase a deficit in such Class C Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. Any such distributions that would otherwise be made to the Class C Members but for preceding sentence shall instead be made to the other Members in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.01 and/or 5.02, as the case may be.

5.04 Limitations on Distributions

Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution of Cash Flow (or other proceeds) to any Member if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

5.05 In-Kind Distribution

Assets of the Company (other than cash) shall not be distributed in kind to the Members without a Majority Vote of the Voting Members.

ARTICLE VI

INTERESTS OF MEMBERS

6.01 Transfers of Units

(a) General Restriction on Transfers of Units. No Member shall be entitled to sell, exchange, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise grant a security interest in, directly or indirectly (collectively, “Transfer”), all or any part of such Member’s Units without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities law. Any Transfer which requires the registration of the Units being transferred, or otherwise directly or indirectly violates any applicable federal or state securities laws shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, any Transfer described in this Section 6.01(a) shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect if (i) such Transfer causes a termination of the Company for federal or state (if applicable) income tax purposes; (ii) such Transfer causes or will cause the Company to become a “Publicly

Traded Partnership” as such term is defined in Section 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code; (iii) such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended (but, for the sake of clarity, it is recognized that nothing in this clause shall prohibit the Company from engaging in business activities that would cause it to be subject, and therefore subjecting itself, to such regulation); or (iv) such Transfer results in a violation of applicable laws; provided, however, that the Voting Members may by Majority Vote authorize any such Transfer notwithstanding the fact that such transfer is described in any of clauses (i) through (iv) above.

(b) Other Restrictions on Transfers of Units. Except for Permitted Transfers, no Member shall Transfer all or part of such Member’s Units unless approved by a Majority Vote of the Voting Members, which approval may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of such Members. The term “Permitted Transfer” shall mean (i) the Transfer of Units by a Member to an Affiliate (including, without limitation, a family limited partnership or similar entity for estate planning purposes), partner, shareholder, or member of such Member, (ii) the Transfer of Units by a Member who is a natural person to a trust for the benefit of the Member or such Member and/or his spouse and/or children, (iii) the Transfer of Units by a Member to a “family member” as such term is defined in Rule 701 issued pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 15b, et seq., (iv) in the case of the Class A Members and the Class B Members, the Transfer of Units to a successor entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of or ownership interests in such Class A Member and Class B Member, or (v) to another Member.

(c) Tag-Along and Drag-Along Rights. If the Voting Members desire to sell some or all of their Units to a third party in a transaction which is not a Permitted Transfer, then (i) the Voting Members shall have the right to require all of the other Members to sell an equal proportion of their Units to such third party on the same terms and conditions (except as provided below) as those applicable to the sale by the Voting Members to the third party (such terms being referred to as “Approved Terms”), and (ii) the other Members shall have the right to require such third party to simultaneously purchase an equal proportion of their Units on the Approved Terms. The sales proceeds to be received by each of the selling Members (including, without limitation, the Voting Members) upon the sale of such Member’s Units pursuant to this Section 6.01(c) shall equal the amount of Cash Flow each such Member would have received if the aggregate consideration received by all of the Members selling their Units (including, without limitation, the Voting Members) pursuant to this Section 6.01(c) were distributed to such selling Members pursuant to Section 5.01 (without regard to Sections 5.02 and 8.02). For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of Cash Flow any Member would receive with respect to any Units that are not being sold by such Member upon the hypothetical distribution described in the preceding sentence shall not be taken into account in determining the sales proceeds each such selling Member shall be entitled to receive under this Section 6.01(c).

(d) Shareholder Drag-Along and Tag-Along Rights. If any of the Shareholders of CBD Investor, Inc. (the “CBD Investor Shareholders”) desire to sell

some or all of their shares in CBD Investor, Inc. to a third party, in any transaction which is not a Permitted Transfer, then (i) CBD Investor, Inc. shall have the right to require all of the other Members to sell an equal proportion of their Units to such third party generally on the same terms and conditions (except as provided below) as those applicable to the sale by the selling CBD Investor Shareholder(s) to the third party (the “Acceptable Terms”), and (ii) the other Members shall have the right to require such third party to simultaneously purchase an equal proportion of their Units on the Acceptable Terms. In connection with any such sale by the CBD Investor Shareholder(s), the Board of Directors shall reasonably determine the portion of the sales proceeds to be received by such selling CBD Investor Shareholder(s) that is attributable to the ownership interest of CBD Investor, Inc., in the Company (the “Applicable Interest”). The Board of Directors shall also reasonably determine the amount of the sales proceeds to be received by the selling CBD Investor Shareholder(s) and any selling Member(s) from the sale of the shares in CBD Investor, Inc. and the sale of Units in the Company, as the case may be. The Board of Directors’ determination shall be made in accordance with the provisions set forth in the second sentence of Section 6.01(c), by treating the Applicable Interest as if it had been sold directly by CBD Investor, Inc., rather than through the sale of shares in CBD Investor, Inc.

(e) Admission of Substituted Members. If any Member Transfers such Member’s Units to a transferee in accordance with this Section 6.01, then the Company shall recognize such Transfer of Units and the transferee shall be admitted into the Company as a substituted Member only if: (i) any certificates evidencing the Units being transferred are surrendered for registration of transfer and any such certificates are accompanied by a transfer application in the form approved by the Board of Directors (the “Transfer Application”), (ii) if required by the Board of Directors in connection with any Transfer of Units, an opinion of counsel for the Company is obtained with respect to any applicable federal or state securities laws issues, (iii) the transferee in writing accepts, ratifies, adopts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Bylaws, (iv) such other instruments and documents as are reasonably required by the Board of Directors to effectuate such Transfer and the admission of the transferee as a substituted Member are duly executed by the transferor and/or the transferee, as the case may be (or their respective attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing), and (v) the transferor pays, as the Board of Directors may reasonably determine, all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer and admission, including, without limitation, legal fees and costs. Any assignee of Units who does not become a substituted Member shall have no right to require the Company to provide any information regarding or to account for any of the Company’s transactions, to inspect the Company’s books, or to vote on any of the matters as to which a Member would be entitled to vote under this Agreement or the Bylaws. An assignee shall only be entitled to share in such Net Profits and Net Losses, to receive such distributions, and to receive such allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar items to which the assignor was entitled, to the extent assigned.

(f) Transfer Application. A transferee of Units who has completed and delivered a Transfer Application shall be deemed to have (i) accepted, adopted and agreed to comply with and be bound by this Agreement, (ii) executed this Agreement,

and (iii) represented and warranted that the transferee has the right, power and authority and, if an individual, the capacity to enter into this Agreement. No formal amendment to this Agreement executed by the existing Members shall be required in order to admit a Person as a substituted or additional Member; provided, however that an Officer designated by the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, may amend this Agreement to provide for the admission of a substituted or additional Member or the withdrawal of a Member which may include, without limitation, amending Exhibit ”A” attached hereto and any such amendment shall not require the approval of or execution by any of the existing Members. The admission of any Person into the Company as a substituted or additional Member or the withdrawal of a Member in accordance with this Article VI shall not dissolve or terminate the Company; on the contrary, the Company’s business shall continue without any interruption or break in continuity.

6.02 Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee or Additional Members

Upon the Transfer of any Units or the distribution of any property of the Company to a Member, the Company may (but shall not be required to) file, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, an election in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Company property to be adjusted for federal income tax purposes as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code. Upon the Transfer of all or any part of the Units as hereinabove provided or upon the admission of any additional Member, Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated between the transferring Member and transferee and/or to any additional Member on the basis of the computation method which, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, is in the best interests of the Company, provided such method is in conformity with the methods prescribed by Section 706 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii).

6.03 Registration of Units

The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company a register in which the Company will provide for the registration and Transfer of Units. The Company shall not recognize Transfers of Units, unless such Transfers are effected in the manner described in this Article VI and/or in accordance with any other applicable provisions set forth in any agreement to which some or all of the Members are party. Upon the surrender of a certificate evidencing Units for registration and Transfer together with a duly executed Transfer Application and compliance with the provisions of this Article VI, the appropriate Officers of the Company shall execute and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one (1) or more new certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Units as was evidenced by the certificate surrendered. 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.

6.04 Withdrawal

No Member may withdraw, resign or retire from the Company without a Majority Vote of the Voting Members. A Member that withdraws, resigns or retires from the Company shall

not have the right to receive the fair value of its Units from the Company. Moreover, pursuant to Section 18–604 of the Delaware Act, each Member hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to receive the fair value of such Member’s Units in the Company upon such withdrawal, resignation and/or retirement.

6.05 Partition

None of the Members shall have the right to partition any assets of the Company, the Operating Company and/or any interest therein, nor shall any Member make application or proceeding for a partition thereto and, upon any breach of the provisions of this Section 6.05 by any Member, the other Members (in addition to all rights and remedies afforded by law or equity) shall be entitled to a decree or order restraining or enjoining such application, action or proceeding.

6.06 No Appraisal Rights

Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors and a Majority Vote of the Voting Members, none of the Members shall have any appraisal rights with respect to their Units pursuant to Section 18-210 of the Delaware Act or otherwise.

6.07 Regulatory Prohibition

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, no Member shall take or permit any action to be taken with respect to itself (including, without limitation, any change in its shareholders, members or partners, as applicable) that would subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended (but, for the sake of clarity, it is recognized that nothing in this Section 6.07 shall prohibit the Company from engaging in business activities that would cause it to be subject, and therefore subjecting itself, to such regulation) and any such action shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect.

6.08 Purchase of Class C Units by Company

The Class C Units shall be subject to purchase by the Company pursuant to Restricted Units Agreements, dated as of March 7, 2002, entered into by and between the Company and each of the Class C Members upon the occurrence of the events described as a “Conversion Event” in such Restricted Units Agreements (“Conversion Event”). If a Class C Member’s Class C Units are purchased pursuant to such Class C Member’s Restricted Units Agreement, then (i) the Percentage Interests of the Class A Members and the Class B Members shall be increased in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests by the Percentage Interest represented by the Class C Units that are so purchased, and (ii) the Class A Members and Class B Members shall succeed in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests to a portion of such Class C Member’s Capital Account represented by the Class C Units so purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.08, unless and until a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Class C Member, any and all Net Profits, Net Losses and distributions of Cash Flow and/or liquidation proceeds shall be allocated and distributed to such Class C Member in accordance with the provisions of Articles IV and V of this Agreement and without regard to the provisions of this Section 6.08. However, effective upon the occurrence of

a Conversion Event with respect to a Class C Member, the Net Profits, Net Losses and distributions of Cash Flow and liquidation proceeds shall thereafter be allocated or distributed to such Class C Member based upon such Class C Member’s Retained Units (as defined in such Class C Member’s Restricted Units Agreement).

ARTICLE VII

LIABILITY, EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

7.01 Liability

Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, the Delaware Act and/or any other law, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member, Director, Officer or other agent or representative of the Company shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member, Director, Officer, agent or representative of the Company.

7.02 Exculpation

(a) Limitation on Liability. No Covered Person shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or any other Covered Person for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law or for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except in the case of such Covered Person’s gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement.

(b) Reliance upon Information, Opinions, Reports, etc. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company including, without limitation, information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Profits, Net Losses or Cash Flow or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid.

7.03 Fiduciary Duties

(a) Standard of Care. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Member, Director and Officer shall have the standard of care, degree of loyalty and duties (fiduciary or otherwise) similar to those of shareholders, directors and officers, respectively, of business corporations organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Moreover, to the extent that the Board of Directors appoints a manager or managers, each such manager shall adhere to such standard of care, degree of loyalty and duties (fiduciary or otherwise) as if such manager were an Officer under the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Reliance upon Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(c) Liability for Breach of Fiduciary Duties. To the extent that this Agreement provides that a Director has fiduciary duties similar to those of directors of business corporations organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a Director shall not be liable to the Company or the Members for monetary damages for breach of such fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereinafter be amended, and except for gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence by the Members shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director in respect of any act or omission prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

(d) Other Investment Opportunities. No Member shall have any obligations (fiduciary or otherwise) with respect to the Company or to the other Members insofar as making other investment opportunities available to the Company or to the other Members. Each Member may, notwithstanding the existence of this Agreement, engage in whatever activities such Member may choose, whether the same are competitive with the Company or otherwise, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Company or to the other Members. Neither this Agreement nor any activities undertaken pursuant hereto shall prevent any Member from engaging in such activities.

7.04 Indemnification

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any Person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), because such Person, or a person for whom such Person is the legal representative, is or was a Member, Director or Officer or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (an “Indemnitee”), against any and all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee. The Company shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if the initiation of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors or by a Majority Vote of the Voting Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be entitled to be indemnified by the

Company in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Person by reason of such Person’s gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement. Any indemnity under this Section 7.04 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member or other Person shall have any personal liability with respect to such indemnity. The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any Person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Person may collect as indemnification from such other limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or nonprofit enterprise. The Company may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company other than Officers, with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Members, Directors and Officers.

7.05 Expenses

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 7.04 hereof or otherwise.

7.06 Claims

If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Article VII is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the Company, the Indemnitee may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

7.07 Nonexclusivity of Rights

The rights conferred on any person by this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the provisions of this Agreement or the Bylaws, or the Majority Vote of the Voting Members.

7.08 Amendment or Repeal

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

7.09 Insurance

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the Board of Directors shall, in its discretion, deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and

such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 7.04 hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

ARTICLE VIII

DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY

8.01 Events Causing Dissolution of the Company

Upon any Member’s death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution, resignation, expulsion or other cessation to serve or the admission of any additional Member or substituted Member into the Company, the Company shall not dissolve, but the business of the Company shall continue without interruption and without any break in continuity. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of: (i) the affirmative election to dissolve the Company by the Board of Directors and the votes of the Voting Members required under Section 2.02; (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company and/or the Operating Company of all or substantially all of its assets and the collection by the Company of any and all Cash Flow derived therefrom; or (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act. Except as may be permitted in accordance with this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to, and each Member hereby agrees that such Member shall not, seek to dissolve or cause the dissolution of the Company or seek to cause a partial or whole distribution or sale of Company assets whether by court action or otherwise, it being agreed that any actual or attempted dissolution, distribution or sale would cause a substantial hardship to the Company and the remaining Members.

8.02 Winding Up of the Company

Upon the Liquidation of the Company caused by other than the termination of the Company under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code (in which latter case the Company shall remain in existence in accordance with the provisions of such Section of the Code), the Board of Directors shall proceed to the winding up of the affairs of the Company. During such winding up process, the Net Profits, Net Losses and Cash Flow distributions shall continue to be shared by the Members in accordance with this Agreement. The assets shall be liquidated as promptly as consistent with obtaining a fair value therefor, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent available, shall be applied and distributed by the Company on or before the end of the taxable year of such Liquidation or, if later, within ninety (90) days after such Liquidation, in the following order:

(a) Creditors. First, to creditors of the Company, including, without limitation, any Members that are creditors, all in the order of priority as provided by law;

(b) Reserves. Second, to establishing any reserves which the Board of Directors deems necessary in its reasonable discretion for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company; and

(c) Residual Amounts. Thereafter, to the Members in proportion to, and to the extent of, the positive balance in each such Member’s Capital Account (after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year of such Liquidation).

Any amounts withheld for reserves pursuant to Section 8.02(b) shall be distributed to the Members as soon as practicable, as determined in the reasonable discretion the Board of Directors, in proportion to the Members’ respective positive Capital Account balances.

The Members believe and intend that the effect of making any and all liquidating distributions in proportion to their respective positive Capital Account balances will result in such liquidating distributions being made to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01. If the immediately preceding sentence is for any reason inaccurate, then the Board of Directors, upon the advice of tax counsel to the Company, is hereby authorized to make such amendments to the provisions of Article IV as may be reasonably necessary to cause such allocations to be in compliance with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

8.03 Negative Capital Account Restoration

No Member shall have any obligation whatsoever upon the Liquidation of such Member’s Units, the Liquidation of the Company or in any other event, to contribute all or any portion of any negative balance standing in such Member’s Capital Account to the Company, to any other Member or to any other person or entity.

ARTICLE IX

BOOKS AND RECORDS

9.01 Books of Account and Bank Accounts

The fiscal year and taxable year of the Company shall be the year ending December 31. The books and records of the Company shall be maintained by one (1) or more Officers designated by the Board of Directors (the “Designated Officer”). All receipts, funds and income of the Company shall be deposited into a bank account selected by the Board of Directors and disbursements from such account shall be made upon the signature of the Designated Officer. During normal business hours at the principal office of the Company (or at such other location as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time), any Member, upon five (5) business days’ written notice to all of the Directors, may inspect and copy at such Member’s own expense for any purpose reasonably related to each such Member’s interest in the Company, all of the following: (i) a current list of the full name and last known business or residence address of each Member set forth in alphabetical order, together with the contribution and share in Net Profits and Net Losses of each Member; (ii) a copy of the Certificate of Formation and all amendments thereto, together with any powers of attorney pursuant to which the Certificate of Formation or any amendments thereto were executed; (iii) copies of the Company’s federal, state and local income tax or information returns and reports, if any, for the six (6) most recent taxable years;

(iv) a copy of this Agreement, the Bylaws and any amendments thereto, together with any powers of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement or any amendments thereto were executed; and (v) copies of the financial statements of the Company, if any, for the six (6) most recent fiscal years. In addition, each Member may inspect other records of the Company for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest in the Company, subject to such standards as may be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any request by any Member (other than in such Member’s capacity as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) for information concerning the Company or inspection will be made only to a subcommittee of the Company’s Board of Directors designated for such purpose and consisting of at least two (2) of the members of the Board of Directors. Each Member shall keep any information and data such Member receives about the ownership, business, operations and assets of the Company and of its affiliates in strict and utmost confidence, and shall not directly or indirectly disclose such information or data to any third person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company’s Board of Directors or except as required by court order or subpoena, provided that such Member has promptly given the Board of Directors written notice of such court order or subpoena so that the Company may seek appropriate protective orders. Without the approval and authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors, no Member (other than a Member who is an employee or whose beneficial owner is an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) or any of its affiliates will, directly or indirectly, contact or engage in any discussion with any employee of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the officers of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. The Members acknowledge and agree that the foregoing standards regarding access to records, inspection, confidentiality and the other matters set forth above in this Section 9.01 are reasonable given the nature of the Company’s business.

(f) Due Investigation. Before acquiring any Units in the Company, each Member investigated the Company and its business and the Company previously made available to each Member all information necessary for the Member to make an informed decision to acquire Units in the Company.
