meeting, whether regular or special (and, if special, how authorized and the
notice given), the names of those present at Board meetings, the number of Votes
present or represented at Members' meetings, and the proceedings
thereof. The Secretary shall perform such other duties as may be

his or her duties by any Assistant Secretary who shall have the same powers of

SECTION
6. Members.
(a) Members. The
Members of the Company shall be set forth on Exhibit B hereto as
amended from time to time. At the date hereof, CCHI is the sole
Member. CCHI is not required to make any capital contribution to the Company;
however, CCHI may make capital contributions to the Company at any time in its
sole discretion (for which its capital account balance shall be appropriately

the balance of which is to be determined in accordance with the principles of
Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The provisions of this
Agreement, including this Section 6, are intended to benefit the Members and, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any
benefit upon any creditor of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, CCHI shall not have any duty or obligation to
any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the
Company.
6
(b) Admission of
Members. Other persons may be admitted as Members from time to
time pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. If an admission of
a new Member results in the Company having more than one Member, this Agreement
shall be amended in accordance with the provisions of Section 15(b) to establish
the rights and responsibilities of the Members and to govern their
relationships.
(c) Limited
Liability. Except as required by the Act, no Member shall be
liable for the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, including
without limitation any debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company under a
judgment, decree or order of a court, solely by reason of being a member of the
Company.
(d) Competing
Activities. Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law
or in equity, (i) neither a Member nor a Manager of the Company, or any of their
respective affiliates, partners, members, shareholders, directors, managers,
officers or employees, shall be expressly or impliedly restricted or prohibited
solely by virtue of this Agreement or the relationships created hereby from
engaging in other activities or business ventures of any kind or character
whatsoever and (ii) except as otherwise agreed in writing or by written Company
policy, each Member and Manager of the Company, and their respective affiliates,
partners, members, shareholders, directors, managers, officers and employees,
shall have the right to conduct, or to possess a direct or indirect ownership
interest in, activities and business ventures of every type and description,
including activities and business ventures in direct competition with the
Company.
(e) Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the bankruptcy (as defined in the Act) of
a Member shall not cause the Member to cease to be a member of the Company and,
upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without
dissolution.
SECTION
7. Percentage
Interests. For purposes of this Agreement, "Percentage
Interest" shall mean with respect to any Member as of any date the proportion
(expressed as a percentage) of the respective capital account balance of such
Member to the capital account balances of all Members. So long as
CCHI is the sole member of the Company, CCHI’s Percentage Interest shall be 100
percent.
SECTION
8. Distributions. The
Company may from time to time distribute to the Members such amounts in cash and
other assets as shall be determined by the Members acting by simple majority of
the Votes. Each such distribution (other than liquidating
distributions) shall be divided among the Members in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests. Liquidating distributions shall be
made to the Members in accordance with their respective positive capital account
balances. Each Member shall be entitled to look solely to the assets
of the Company for the return of such Member's positive capital account
balance. Notwithstanding that the assets of the Company remaining
after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities, and obligations of
the Company may be insufficient to return the capital contributions or share of
the Company's profits reflected in such Member's positive capital account
balance, a Member shall have no recourse against the Company or any other
Member. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to
7
make a
distribution to the Members on account of their interest in the Company if such
distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable
law.
SECTION
9. Allocations. The
profits and losses of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in
accordance with their Percentage Interests from time to time.
SECTION
10. Dissolution; Winding
Up.
(a) Dissolution. The
Company shall be dissolved upon (i) the adoption of a plan of dissolution by the
Members acting by unanimity of the Votes and the approval of the Manager or (ii)
the occurrence of any other event required to cause the dissolution of the
Company under the Act.
(b) Effective Date of
Dissolution. Any dissolution of the Company shall be effective
as of the date on which the event occurs giving rise to such dissolution, but
the Company shall not terminate unless and until all its affairs have been wound
up and its assets distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Act and
the Certificate is cancelled.
(c) Winding Up. Upon
dissolution of the Company, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes
of winding up its business and affairs as soon as reasonably
practicable. Promptly after the dissolution of the Company, the
Manager shall immediately commence to wind up the affairs of the Company in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Act. In
winding up the business and affairs of the Company, the Manager may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, take any and all actions that it determines in
its sole discretion to be in the best interests of the Members, including, but
not limited to, any actions relating to (i) causing written notice by registered
or certified mail of the Company's intention to dissolve to be mailed to each
known creditor of and claimant against the Company, (ii) the payment, settlement
or compromise of existing claims against the Company, (iii) the making of
reasonable provisions for payment of contingent claims against the Company and
(iv) the sale or disposition of the properties and assets of the
Company. It is expressly understood and agreed that a reasonable time
shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and
the satisfaction of claims against the Company so as to enable the Manager to
minimize the losses that may result from a liquidation.
SECTION
11. Transfer. At such
time as the Company has more than one Member, no Member shall transfer (whether
by sale, assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or
otherwise) all or any part of his, her or its limited liability company interest
in the Company to any other person without the prior written consent of each of
the other Members; provided,
however, that this Section 11 shall not restrict the ability of any
Member to transfer (at any time) all or a portion of its limited liability
company interest in the Company to another Member. Upon the transfer
of a Member's limited liability company interest, the Manager shall provide
notice of such transfer to each of the other Members and shall amend Exhibit B hereto to
reflect the transfer.
SECTION
12. Admission of Additional
Members. The admission of additional or substitute Members to
the Company shall be accomplished by the amendment of this Agreement, including
Exhibit B, in accordance with the provisions of Section l5(b), pursuant to which
8
amendment
each additional or substitute Member shall agree to become bound by this
Agreement.
SECTION
13. Tax Matters. As of
the date of this Agreement, the Company is a single-owner entity for United
States federal tax purposes. So long as the Company is a single-owner
entity for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that for federal, state
and local income tax purposes the Company be disregarded as an entity separate
from its owner for income tax purposes and its activities be treated as a
division of such owner. In the event that the Company has two or more
Members for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that (i) the Company
shall be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax
purposes, and the Members shall not take any position or make any election, in a
tax return or otherwise, inconsistent therewith and (ii) this Agreement will be
amended to provide for appropriate book and tax allocations pursuant to
subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
SECTION
14. Exculpation and
Indemnification.
(a) Exculpation. Neither
the Members, the Manager, the directors of the Company, the officers of the
Company, their respective affiliates, nor any person who at any time shall
serve, or shall have served, as a director, officer, employee or other agent of
any such Members, Manager, directors, officers, or affiliates and who, in such
capacity, shall engage, or shall have engaged, in activities on behalf of the
Company (a "Specified Agent") shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the
Company or to any Member for, and neither the Company nor any Member shall take
any action against such Members, Manager, directors, officers, affiliates or
Specified Agent, in respect of any loss which arises out of any acts or
omissions performed or omitted by such person pursuant to the authority granted
by this Agreement, or otherwise performed on behalf of the Company, if such
Member, Manager, director, officer, affiliate, or Specified Agent, as
applicable, in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in the
best interests of the Company and within the scope of authority conferred on
such person by this Agreement or approved by the Manager. Each Member
shall look solely to the assets of the Company for return of such Member's
investment, and if the property of the Company remaining after the discharge of
the debts and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return such
investment, each Member shall have no recourse against the Company, the other
Members or their affiliates, except as expressly provided herein; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not relieve any Member or the Manager of any fiduciary duty,
duty of care or duty of fair dealing to the Members that it may have hereunder
or under applicable law.
(b) Indemnification. In
any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding to which
a Member, a Manager, a director of the Company, any officer of the Company,
their respective affiliates, or any Specified Agent was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was
engaged in activities on behalf of the Company, including without limitation any
action or proceeding brought under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
against a Member, a Manager, a director of the Company, any officer of the
Company, their respective affiliates, or any Specified Agent relating to the
Company, the Company shall to the fullest extent permitted by law indemnify and
hold harmless the Members, Manager, directors of the Company, officers of the
Company, their respective affiliates, and any such Specified Agents against
losses, damages, expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or in connection with
such
9
claim,
action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that none of the
Members, Managers, directors of the Company, officers of the Company, their
respective affiliates or any Specified Agent shall be indemnified for actions
constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, or fraud. Any act or
omission by any such Member, Manager, director, officer, or any such affiliate
or Specified Agent, if done in reliance upon the opinion of independent legal
counsel or public accountants selected with reasonable care by such Member,
Manager, director, officer, or any such affiliate or Specified Agent, as
applicable, shall not constitute bad faith, willful misconduct, or fraud on the
part of such Member, Manager, director, officer, or any such affiliate or
Specified Agent.
(c) No
Presumption. The termination of any claim, action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that any act or failure to act by a Member, a Manager, a director of
the Company, any officer of the Company, their respective affiliates or any
Specified Agent constituted bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud under this
Agreement.
(d) Limitation on
Indemnification. Any such indemnification under this Section
14 shall be recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the
Members.
(e) Reliance on the
Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Member,
Manager, director of the Company, officer of the Company or any Specified Agent
has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Company or to any Member or other person bound by this Agreement, such Member,
Manager, director, officer or any Specified Agent acting under this Agreement
shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member or other person bound by
this Agreement 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 Member, Manager, director of the
Company, officer of the Company or any Specified Agent otherwise existing at law
or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and
liabilities of such Member, Manager, director or officer or any Specified
Agent.
SECTION
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) Certificate of Limited Liability
Company Interest. A Member's limited liability company interest may be
evidenced by a certificate of limited liability company interest executed by the
Manager or an officer in such form as the Manager may approve; provided that
such certificate of limited liability company interest shall not bear a legend
that causes such limited liability company interest to constitute a security
under Article 8 (including Section 8-103) of the Uniform Commercial Code as
enacted and in effect in the State of Delaware, or the corresponding statute of
any other applicable jurisdiction.
(b) Amendment. The
terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement may be amended, and compliance
with any term or provision set forth herein may be waived, only by a written
instrument executed by each Member. No failure or delay on the part
of any Member in exercising any right, power or privilege granted hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege granted
hereunder.
10
(c) Binding
Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Members and their respective successors and assigns.
(d) Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any
conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of
any other jurisdiction.
(e) Severability. In
the event that any provision contained in this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability thereof shall not affect any other provision
hereof.
(f) Multiple
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
(g) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and
replaces any prior or contemporaneous understandings.
(h) Relationship between the Agreement
and the Act. Regardless of whether any provision of this
Agreement specifically refers to particular Default Rules (as defined below),
(i) if any provision of this Agreement conflicts with a Default Rule, the
provision of this Agreement controls and the Default Rule is modified or negated
accordingly, and (ii) if it is necessary to construe a Default Rule as modified
or negated in order to effectuate any provision of this Agreement, the Default
Rule is modified or negated accordingly. For purposes of this Section
15(h), "Default Rule" shall mean a rule stated in the Act which applies except
to the extent it may be negated or modified through the provisions of a limited
liability company's Limited Liability Company Agreement.
