3.1 Members. The Members of the Company shall be listed on Exhibit 3.1, as from time to time amended and supplemented in accordance with this Agreement. Each Member shall be treated as having contributed to the Company on the Initial Contribution Date the amounts indicated on Exhibit 3.1 as such Member’s aggregate initial capital contribution (“Initial Capital Contribution”) (which amounts shall be the Capital Accounts with respect to such Units as of the date of issuance) and shall receive the number of Units set forth in Exhibit 3.1. Exhibit 3.1 shall be amended from time to time so that it sets forth, the then current list of members, the total amount of Capital Contributions made by each such Member and the number of Units held by such Member, and the Member’s Percentage Interest.

3.2 Member Interests and Units. The Interests of the Members of the Company shall be divided into units of one class (“Units”).

3.3 Additional Members and Units. Subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the Board of Managers may issue Units and admit Persons as Members in exchange for such contributions to capital (including commitments to make contributions to capital) or such other consideration (including past or future services) and on such terms and conditions (including in the case of Units issued to employees and consultants such vesting and forfeiture provisions) as the Board determines to be appropriate. If additional Units are subsequently issued by the Company, the Capital Account (if any) with respect to those Units as of the date of issuance and the Capital Contributions (if any) that shall be deemed to be made by the Member receiving such Units as of the date of issuance shall be set forth in the agreement pursuant to which the additional Units are issued. Promptly following the issuance of Units, the Board shall cause the books and records of the Company, and an amended Exhibit 3.1 hereto, to reflect the number of Units issued, any Members or additional Members holding such Units and in the case of Units issued other than in connection with the performance of services, the Capital Contribution per Unit, and the Company shall promptly provide the amended Exhibit 3.1 to each Member. Upon the receipt of approvals as required under this Agreement, execution of this Agreement or a counterpart of this Agreement, together with any other documents or instruments required by the Board in connection therewith, and the making of the Capital Contribution (if any) specified to be made at such time, a Person shall be admitted to the Company as a Member of the Company.

3.4 Capital Contributions. Each Member’s Capital Contribution, if any, whether in cash or in-kind, and the number of Units issued to such Member shall be as set forth in Exhibit 3.1. Any Member making an in-kind Capital Contribution agrees from time to time to do such further acts and execute such further documents as the Board may direct to perfect the Company’s interest in such in-kind Capital Contribution.

3.5 Termination of Governance Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, without the other Members’ consent, at any time after the Effective Date a Competing Business shall acquire (whether effected by merger, purchase of assets, lease, equity exchange or otherwise) Control of a Member (or a Member shall Control, be Controlled by or under common Control with a Competing Business), then upon the occurrence of such event the Governance Rights of such Member and associated with such Member’s Interests shall automatically terminate, subject to Section 11.8; provided that this Section 3.5 shall not apply to

Leucadia or any of its Permitted Transferees and shall not be construed to prohibit the transactions by NBPCo in Sections 6.8 and 6.9.

3.6 Additional Issuances of Units.

(a) The Board shall not offer to sell or otherwise issue additional Units to any Person, including to any other Member, unless (i) (x) the Board’s resolutions authorizing the sale or issuance of such additional Units describe in reasonable detail the Company’s business purpose for undertaking, and the terms of, such proposed issuance or (y) the Board shall have determined that such issuance of Units is, in their good faith judgment, advisable for the Company; and (ii) the Board shall have complied with Section 3.6(b).

(b) Prior to offering to sell or otherwise issue additional Units, the Board shall first offer to the Members the opportunity to purchase such offered Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Percentage Interests at the same price, and on the same terms and conditions, as the Board is prepared, or proposes, to offer or issue such additional Units to any other Member or to any Person who, prior to such sale or issuance, is not a Member of the Company. The Members shall have a period of thirty (30) days to accept such offer (or, in the case of a sale or issuance to any Person who is not, prior to such sale or issuance, a Member of the Company, ten (10) days). This Section 3.6(b) may not be amended without the consent of each Member that would be adversely impacted by such amendment.

(c) The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall not apply to: (i) Units which are issued in order to acquire the assets or business of another Person; or (ii) Units which are issued to employees or consultants pursuant to compensation plans or agreements approved by the Board.

4. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

4.1 Allocations. The Net Profits and Net Loss of the Company and any items of income, gain, deduction or loss that are specially allocated in any Fiscal Year or other fiscal period shall be allocated among the Members as provided in Article 5.

4.2 Capital Accounts. A separate account (each a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained on the books of the Company for each Member which:

(a) shall be increased by (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any other property contributed by such Member to the Company as a Capital Contribution (net of liabilities secured by such property or that the Company assumes or takes the property subject to) and (ii) such Member’s distributive share of the Net Profit of the Company, and

(b) shall be reduced by (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any other property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such property or that the Member assumes or takes the property subject to) and (ii) such Member’s distributive share of the Net Loss of the Company.

It is the intention of the Members that the Capital Accounts of the Company be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder and that this Agreement be interpreted consistently therewith. No Member shall have an obligation to the Company or to any other Member to restore any negative balance in the Capital Account of such Member.

4.3 Revaluations of Assets and Capital Account Adjustments. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers, (i) immediately preceding the issuance of additional Units in exchange for cash, property or services to a new or existing Member, (ii) upon the redemption of the Interest of a Member or a portion thereof, (iii) upon the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) and (iv) at such other times as are necessary or advisable, as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers, in order to comply with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, the then-prevailing Asset Values of the Company shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined in good faith by the Board, and any increase in the net equity value of the Company (Asset Values less liabilities) shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the same manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.6.2 (or any decrease in the net equity value of the Company shall be charged in the same manner as Net Losses are charged under Section 5.6.2). Accordingly, as of the date of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, the Capital Accounts of Members will reflect both realized and unrealized gains and losses through such date and the net fair market value of the equity of the Company as of such date.

4.4 Additional Capital Account Adjustments. Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the same manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.6.2 when such income is realized. Any expenses or expenditures of the Company which may neither be deducted nor capitalized for tax purposes (or are so treated for tax purposes) shall be charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the same manner as Net Losses are charged under Section 5.6.2. If the Company is subject to an election under Section 754 of the Code to provide a special basis adjustment upon the transfer of an Interest in the Company or the distribution of property by the Company in accordance with Code Section 734(b) or 743(b), Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to the limited extent required by the Regulations under Section 704 of the Code following such transfer or distribution, as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers.

4.5 Additional Capital Account Provisions. No Member shall have the right to demand a return of all or any part of such Member’s Capital Contributions. Any return of the Capital Contributions of any Member shall be made solely from the assets of the Company and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No interest shall be paid to any Member with respect to such Member’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account. In the event that all or a portion of the Units of a Member are transferred in accordance with this Agreement, the transferee of such Units shall also succeed to all or the relevant portion of the Capital Account of the transferor. Units held by a Member may not be transferred independently of the Interest to which the Units relate.

5. DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS

5.1 Board of Managers Determination. The Board of Managers shall determine the timing and the aggregate amount of any Distributions to Members; provided, however, that:

5.1.1 The Company shall make a Tax Distribution not later than the dates specified in Section 5.2.1, unless the Members each consent otherwise.

5.1.2 The Board may make any additional Distributions to the Members, pro rata in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest, in such aggregate amounts and on such occasions as the Board may determine. No distributions shall be made by the Board to Members other than pro rata in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest.

5.1.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the provisions of the Act, no Person shall have any claim or right of enforcement with respect to or arising out of a Tax Distribution (whether under Article 5 or otherwise) against (i) any member of the Board, (ii) any Member or (iii) any Affiliate of a member of the Board or a Member, and such Person’s sole recourse therefor shall be against the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent any such claim or right exists or may be deemed to exist, each member of the Board, Member, and any of their respective Affiliates (and any Person claiming by or through any such member of the Board, Member or Affiliate) hereby waives any such claim or right against any member of the Board, any Member and each Affiliate of any such member of the Board or Member, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5.1.3, “Affiliates” of a Person shall exclude the Company and its Subsidiaries.

5.2 Distributions. Distributions from the Company to its Members shall be made only after allocating the Net Profit or Net Loss of the Company through the date as of which the Distribution is being charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members. Such Distributions shall be charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members and made in the following order (except that no Member shall be entitled to receive a Distribution that would create or increase a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account unless the Capital Accounts of all Members have previously been reduced to zero):

5.2.1 Tax Distributions. The Company shall distribute to all Members prior to the tenth (10th) day before the due date of the federal quarterly estimated tax payments an aggregate amount equal to the Base Tax Rate times the allocations of taxable income made or expected to be made pursuant to this Article 5 for such quarter (the “Tax Distribution”). The Board of Managers shall determine the amount to be distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 5.2.1 in its reasonable discretion based on such reasonable assumptions as the Board of Managers determines in good faith to be appropriate. Tax Distributions shall be divided among the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests. The “Base Tax Rate” shall be equal to fifty-four percent (54%). The Board of Managers shall consider adjusting the Base Tax Rate to be above 54% if requested by a Member upon a determination that the federal and state tax rates affecting the Member (or the Member’s taxpayers) have increased by more than

1%; provided, however, the Board of Managers shall have no obligation to increase the Base Tax Rate. For purposes of computing taxable income under this Section 5.2.1, taxable income shall be determined without taking account the effect of any benefit to a Member under Section 743(b) or 734(b) of the Code.

5.3 No Violation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a Distribution to any Member on account of such Member’s Interest in the Company if such Distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law.

5.4 Withholdings. The Board of Managers is authorized to withhold from Distributions to Members, or with respect to allocations to Members and in each case to pay over to the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts required by law to be so withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any federal, state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company shall be treated as amounts paid to the Company and each Member shall be treated as having received a distribution pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof equal to the portion of the withholding tax allocable to such Member, as determined by the Board of Managers. Any taxes withheld on a payment to the Company or a payment by the Company to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be treated as if distributed to the relevant Member to the extent that an amount equal to such withheld taxes would then be distributable to such Member, and, to the extent in excess of such distributable amounts, as a demand loan payable by the Member to the Company with interest at the prime rate in effect from time to time plus two percent (2%), compounded annually. The Board of Managers may, in its sole discretion, either demand payment of the principal and accrued interest on such demand loan at any time, and enforce payment thereof by legal process, or withhold from one or more distributions to a Member amounts sufficient to satisfy such Member’s obligations under any demand loan payable to the Company. In the event that the Company receives a refund of taxes previously withheld by a third party from one (1) or more payments to the Company, the economic benefit of such refund shall be apportioned among the Members in a manner reasonably determined by the Board of Managers to offset the prior operation of this Section 5.4 in respect of such withheld taxes. Promptly upon request, each Member shall provide the Company with any information related to such Member that is necessary (i) to allow the Company to comply with any tax reporting, tax withholding, or tax payment obligations of the Company or (ii) to establish the Company’s legal entitlement to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax, including U.S. federal withholding tax under Sections 1471 and 1472 of the Code. As a security for any withholding tax or other liability or obligation to which the Company may be subject as a result of any act or status of any Member, or to which the Company may become subject with respect to the Interest of any Member, the Company shall have (and each Member hereby grants to the Company) a security interest in all distributable assets of the Company distributable to such Member to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other liability or obligation. Neither the Company nor the Board of Managers shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Member’s Interest, and, in the event of overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate governmental authority. If the Company, the Board of Managers, the Tax Matters Member, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, members and, as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole and absolute discretion, consultants or agents (the “Withholding Indemnified Parties” and each a

“Withholding Indemnified Party”), becomes liable as a result of failure to withhold and remit taxes in respect of any Member, then, in addition to, and without limiting, any indemnities for which such Member may be liable under this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Board of Managers in writing, such Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Withholding Indemnified Parties, in respect of all taxes, including interest and penalties, and any expenses incurred in any examination, determination, resolution and payment of such liability, except with respect to any penalties or expenses which arise as a result of any act or omission with respect to which a court of competent jurisdiction has issued a final, nonappealable judgment that such applicable Withholding Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct or fraud. The provisions contained in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of the Company and the Transfer of any Interest.

5.5 Property Distributions and Installment Sales. If any assets of the Company shall be distributed in kind pursuant to this Article 5, such assets shall be distributed to the Members entitled thereto in the same proportions as the Members would have been entitled to cash Distributions. The amount by which the fair market value of any property to be distributed in kind to the Members exceeds or is less than the then prevailing Asset Value of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Company, be taken into account in determining Net Profit and Net Loss and determining the Capital Accounts of the Members as if such property had been sold at its fair market value immediately prior to such Distribution. If any assets are sold in transactions in which, by reason of Section 453 of the Code, gain is realized but not recognized, such gain shall be taken into account when realized in computing gain or loss of the Company for purposes of allocation of Net Profit or Net Loss under this Article 5 and, if such sales shall involve substantially all the assets of the Company, the Company shall be deemed to have been dissolved and terminated notwithstanding any election by the Members to continue the Company for purposes of collecting the proceeds of such sales.

5.6 Net Profit or Net Loss.

5.6.1 The “Net Profit” or “Net Loss” of the Company for each Fiscal Year or relevant part thereof shall mean the Company’s taxable income or loss for federal income tax purposes for such period (including all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code) with the following adjustments:

(a) Gain or loss attributable to the disposition of property of the Company with an Asset Value different from the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes shall be computed with respect to the Asset Value of such property, and any tax gain or loss not included in Net Profit or Net Loss shall be taken into account and allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members pursuant to Section 5.8.

(b) Depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions with respect to any property with an Asset Value that differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes shall be computed in accordance with Asset Value, and any depreciation allowable for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.8.

(c) Any items that are required to be allocated pursuant to Section 5.7 shall not be taken into account in determining Net Profit or Net Loss.

5.6.2 General Allocations.

(a) Hypothetical Liquidation. The items of income, expense, gain and loss of the Company comprising Net Profit or Net Loss for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members that were Members during such Fiscal Year in a manner that will, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of such Fiscal Year to equal the excess (which may be negative) of:

(i) the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Member would receive if, on the last day of the Fiscal Year, (w) all Company assets, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their then-prevailing Asset Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such Fiscal Year, (x) all Company liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability, to the then-prevailing Asset Value of the assets securing such liability) and (y) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof; over

(ii) the sum of (x) the amount, if any, which such Member is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, (y) such Member’s share of the Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (z) such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale described in Section 5.6.2(a)(i) above.

For purposes of the foregoing hypothetical sale described in Section 5.6.2(a)(i) above, all assets and liabilities of any entity that is wholly-owned by the Company and disregarded as an entity separate from the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be treated as assets and liabilities of the Company.

(b) Loss Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6.2(b), the amount of items of Company expense and loss allocated pursuant to this Section 5.6.2(b) to any Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, unless each Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.6.2(b) shall be allocated first, to Members who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata, in proportion to their Capital Account balances, adjusted as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, until no Member would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter, to all voting Members, pro rata, in proportion to their ownership of voting Interests.

5.6.3 Interpretation. The Members intend for the allocation provisions set forth in this Agreement to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and to appropriately reflect the Members’ rights to Distributions

as set forth in Sections 5.2 and 13.3, and the Board of Managers shall interpret the provisions in accordance with such intent and make such adjustments as may be necessary to effect such intent; provided, however, that any such interpretation or adjustment shall affect only Capital Accounts and allocations and shall not affect any Member’s rights to Distributions as set forth in this Agreement.

5.7 Regulatory Allocations. Although the Members do not anticipate that events will arise that will require application of this Section 5.7, provisions governing the allocation of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (and items thereof) are included in this Agreement as may be necessary to provide that the Company’s allocation provisions contain a so-called “Qualified Income Offset” and comply with all provisions relating to the allocation of (i) Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain and the chargeback thereof as set forth in the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code and (ii) so-called “Nonrecourse Deductions” and “Member Nonrecourse Deductions” (clauses (i) and (ii) together, the “Regulatory Allocations”); provided, however, that the Members intend that all Regulatory Allocations that may be required shall be offset by other Regulatory Allocations or special allocations of items so that each Member’s share of the Net Profit, Net Loss and capital of the Company will be the same as it would have been had the events requiring the Regulatory Allocations not occurred. For this purpose the Board of Managers, based on the advice of the Company’s auditors or tax counsel, is hereby authorized to make such special curative allocations of tax items as may be necessary to minimize or eliminate any economic distortions that may result from any required Regulatory Allocations.

5.8 Tax Allocations. Code Section 704(c) and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation.

5.8.1 Contributed Assets. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company with an adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes different from the initial Asset Value at which such property was accepted by the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account such difference in the manner required by Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Regulations.

5.8.2 Revalued Assets. If upon the acquisition of additional Units in the Company by a new or existing Member the Asset Value of any the assets of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.3, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such assets shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account such adjustment in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Regulations.

5.8.3 Elections and Limitations. The allocations required by this Section 5.8 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect the allocation of Net Profits or Net Losses as between Members or any Member’s Capital Account. All tax allocations required by this Section 5.8 shall be made using any method that is described in the Section 1.704-3 Regulations, as decided by the Board of Managers.

5.8.4 Allocations. Except as noted above, all items of income, deduction and loss shall be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner as such items are allocated for purposes of calculating Net Profits and Net Losses.

6. STATUS, RIGHTS AND POWERS OF MEMBERS AND

CERTAIN MEMBER AGREEMENTS

6.1 Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, expenses, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member or Indemnified Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, expense, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or Indemnified Person. All Persons dealing with the Company shall have recourse solely to the assets of the Company for the payment of the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company. In no event shall any Member be required to make up any deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account upon the liquidation of such Member’s Interest or otherwise.

6.2 Return of Distributions of Capital. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, a Member, in such capacity, shall have no liability for obligations or liabilities of the Company in excess of (a) the amount of such Member’s Capital Contributions, (b) such Member’s share of any assets and undistributed profits of the Company and (c) to the extent required by law, the amount of any Distributions wrongfully distributed to such Member. Except as required by law, no Member shall be obligated by this Agreement 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; provided, however, that if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding this Agreement, any Member is obligated to return or pay any part of any Distribution, such obligation shall bind such Member alone and not any other Member or any Manager. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are solely for the benefit of the Members and shall not be construed as benefiting any third party. The amount of any Distribution returned to the Company by a Member or paid by a Member for the account of the Company or to a creditor of the Company shall be added to the account or accounts from which it was subtracted when it was distributed to such Member.

6.3 No Management or Control. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member shall take part in or interfere in any manner with the management of the business and affairs of the Company or have any right or authority to act for or bind the Company notwithstanding Section 18-402 of the Act.

6.4 Specific Limitations. No Member shall have the right or power to: (a) withdraw or reduce such Member’s Capital Contribution except as a result of the dissolution of the Company or as otherwise provided by law or in this Agreement; (b) make voluntary Capital Contributions or to contribute any property to the Company other than cash; (c) bring an action for partition against the Company or any Company assets; (d) cause the termination and dissolution of the Company, except as set forth in this Agreement; or (e) upon the Distribution of its Capital Contribution require that property other than cash be distributed in return for its Capital Contribution. Each Member hereby irrevocably waives any such rights.

6.5 Member Voting. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all powers of the Members shall be exercised in accordance with Section 7.3 by the appointment of the Board of Managers.

6.6 Required Consents.

6.6.1 None of the following actions shall be taken by the Company without prior written Member Consent:

(a) Entering into any contracts, agreements or transactions with any of the Members or their Affiliates, other than (i) the issuance of Units or Interests to Members in compliance with Section 3.6(b) hereof or (ii) contracts, agreements or transactions entered into on an arms’ length basis, with the terms and conditions thereof disclosed to the Board and other Members prior to the commencement date of any such contract, agreement or transaction; provided that any such contract, agreement or transaction with a Member or their Affiliates must be on a basis that is at least as favorable to the Company as a contract, agreement or transaction reasonably available from any third party or an existing provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member Consent shall be required (x) for any loan from Leucadia or any of its Affiliates which, taken together with all other loans from Leucadia or any of its Affiliates, do not exceed $25 million in the aggregate, provided that the interest rate charged in respect of such loan shall not exceed the interest rate charged to the Company on its most senior credit facility or (y) to effectuate any transaction set forth on Schedule 1.2(d) of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, which transactions have been approved by the Members pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. This Section 6.6.1 shall not apply to any contracts, agreements or transactions between the Company and its Subsidiaries, including any loans or financing transactions.

(b) Except as required by the Credit Documents, actions that contractually restrict (i) the making of distributions to Members as provided for in this Agreement or (ii) any required or mandatory repurchases of any Units as provided for in this Agreement.

6.6.2 The Company shall not modify or alter the rights, preferences or privileges of any Units, including by way of an amendment to this Agreement, which modification or alteration would adversely affect the economic entitlements of a holder of a Unit under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each such affected holder; provided, however, that the Company may issue Units as provided in Section 3.6(a).

6.7 Restrictions on Member Competition. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the Company and the Members set forth in this Agreement, the Members set forth below hereby covenant and agree as follows:

(a) Certain Activities of USPB Prohibited. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for so long as USPB and its Affiliates own or Control any Units of the Company but in any event not less than ten (10) years after the Effective Date, USPB or any entity controlled by USPB shall not, directly or indirectly, singularly or in the aggregate, own or Control any Ownership Interests of, or otherwise run, manage, operate, direct, Control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or Control of, any Competing Business or any Competing Facility other than an Ownership Interest of not more than two percent (2.0%) in the aggregate in any publicly traded entity that is a Competing Business or that owns or Controls a Competing Business or a Competing Facility.

(b) Certain Activities of NBPCo Prohibited.

(i) Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for so long as NBPCo or its Affiliates owns or Controls any Units of the Company, NBPCo and its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, singularly or in the aggregate, own or Control more than five percent (5%) of the Ownership Interests of, or otherwise run, manage, operate, direct or Control, any Competing Business or any Competing Facility.

(ii) The members acknowledge and agree that NBPCo and its Affiliates directly and indirectly compete with the Company in segments of the beef market not constituting a Competing Business or a Competing Facility and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit NBPCo or its Affiliates ability to compete with the Company, subject to clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 6.7(b).

(iii) Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for so long as NBPCo or its Affiliates owns or Controls any Units of the Company, if at any time NBPCo or its Affiliates commences a venture on its own that directly or indirectly competes with the Company in a segment of the beef market, then NBPCo will offer the Company an opportunity to supply beef as a raw material to such business activity, on arms length terms and conditions.

(iv) Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for so long as NBPCo or its Affiliates owns or Controls any Units of the Company, if at any time NBPCo or its Affiliates commences a venture in conjunction with a Competitor of the Company, or a Competing Business or Competing Facility that directly or indirectly competes with the Company in a segment of the beef market, then NBPCo or its Affiliates will offer the Company an opportunity to participate in a comparable venture on terms and conditions that are at least as favorable as the terms and conditions offered to and agreed with such Competitor. If the opportunity is offered to the Company, and the Company fails, within thirty (30) days after being so presented with such opportunity, to accept such opportunity, or otherwise fails to pursue such opportunity with reasonable diligence, then the Company will waive its right to require NBPCo to continue such offer and shall likewise waive any claim that NBPCo’s engagement in such activity with a

Competitor violates this Section 6.7(b) or constitutes a breach of the fiduciary duties of NBPCo’s Manager designee, if applicable.

(v) NBPCo will not use its Ownership Interest in the Company, to gather Confidential Information from the Company or to block competitive projects of the Company, and NBPCo agrees not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose not related to the Company’s conduct of its business or otherwise in a manner detrimental to the Company.

A Manager need not be a Member.

The Managers designated by Leucadia collectively (as evidenced by the vote of a majority of the Leucadia-designated Managers present at a meeting), and each other Manager shall have such vote as reflects the percentage of outstanding Units held by the Member that elected or appointed the Manager(s).

There shall be no requirement that any action of the Board be approved by the Managers elected or appointed by a certain group of Members. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Managers may be taken by written action signed by all of the Managers comprising the Board provided that with respect to the Leucadia-designated Managers only one such Manager’s signature shall be required to evidence the unanimous consent of the Leucadia-designated Managers and such writing or writings shall be filed with the records of the meetings of the Board. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as the act of the Board.

7.11 Waiver. Whenever any notice is required to be given to a Manager under the provisions of this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the Manager, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

The covenants and undertakings contained in Section 9.6.1 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of Section 9.6.1 will cause irreparable injury to the Company, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of Section 9.6.1 may be inadequate. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of any provision of Section 9.6.1 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by Section 9.6.1 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Company may have hereunder or at law or in equity.

9.6.3 Each Member is aware that (i) Leucadia is an “issuer” of securities under United States securities laws and (ii) that United States securities laws prohibit any individual who has received from an issuer or any of its Affiliates (including with respect to Leucadia, the Company) any material, non-public information regarding such issuer or any of its Affiliates from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other individual under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such individual is likely to purchase or sell securities of such issuer. As a consequence of its respective investments in the Company, each Member will from time to time receive confidential information concerning the Company that will constitute material, non-public information concerning Leucadia. Each Member acknowledges this prohibition and agrees to advise its respective Affiliates of this prohibition.

9.7 Restrictions on Receipt. The rights of Members to receive reports or to request information pursuant to this Article 9 shall be subject to Section 3.5.

10. TAX MATTERS MEMBER

10.1 Tax Matters Member. The Board of Managers shall designate a qualifying Member to act as the tax matters partner within the meaning of and pursuant to Regulations Sections 301.6231(a)(7)-1 and -2 or any similar provision under state or local law; provided, however, that the Tax Matters Member shall not have any right to settle or compromise any material matter raised by the IRS without the approval of the Board of Managers, and the other Members shall be kept informed of, and shall be given an opportunity to discuss with the Tax Matters Member, all such matters which the Tax Matters Member deems to be material; provided, however, that if a tax settlement proposed by the Tax Matters Member (A) involves an income inclusion and/or a denial of deduction for the Company that in the aggregate exceeds $10 million and (B) relates to (i) a taxable period that includes the Effective Date or begins on or after the Effective Date or (ii) any other taxable period of the Company that could have an effect on Leucadia (including for this purpose an effect that occurs in a later taxable period), then such proposed settlement shall be subject to each Member’s review and consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to tax settlements in respect of a tax period of the Company ending prior to the Effective Date that is not described in clause (B)(ii) of the preceding sentence and as to which USPB is the Tax Matters Member, no approval of the Members is required. In the event that the consent of a Member is required and such Member does not consent to such proposed settlement (a “Non-Consenting Member”), the Non-Consenting Member shall indemnify and hold harmless each other Member on an after tax basis to the extent that the final outcome of the tax controversy for a Member is more adverse than the proposed settlement (including, without limitation, for this purpose the amount and timing of utilization of a Member’s net operating losses and a Member’s share of any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such controversy occurring after the proposed settlement date). Unless and until another Member is designated as the tax matters partner by the Board, Leucadia shall be the tax matters partner of the Company and in such capacity is referred to as the “Tax Matters Member”.

10.2 Indemnity of Tax Matters Member. The Company shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters Member for all expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred as Tax Matters Member pursuant to this Article 10 in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Members attributable to their respective interests in the Company.

10.3 Tax Returns. Unless otherwise agreed by the Board of Managers, all returns of the Company shall be prepared by the Company’s independent certified public accountants.

10.4 Tax Elections. The Board of Managers shall, without any further consent of the Members being required (except as specifically required herein), cause the Company to make any and all elections for federal, state, local, and foreign tax purposes including, without limitation, any election, if permitted by applicable law: (i) to make the election provided for in Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) or take any other action necessary to cause the provisions of Code Sections 6221 through 6231 to apply to the Company (ii) to take any action necessary or

appropriate to continue the election made by the Partnership pursuant to Code Section 754 as in effect on the Effective Date, including making a new or a protective Section 754 election, to ensure that such Section 754 election is and remains effective and that the Section 754 election is not revoked without the consent of all Members, and to adjust the basis of Property pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) and 743(b), or comparable provisions of state, local or foreign law, in connection with Transfers of Interests and Company distributions; (iii) to extend the statute of limitations for assessment of tax deficiencies against the Members with respect to adjustments to the Company’s federal, state, local or foreign tax returns; and (iv) to the extent provided in Code Sections 6221 through 6231 and similar provisions of federal, state, local, or foreign law, to represent the Company and the Members before taxing authorities or courts of competent jurisdiction in tax matters affecting the Company or the Members in their capacities as Members, and to file any tax returns and execute any agreements or other documents relating to or affecting such tax matters, including agreements or other documents that bind the Members with respect to such tax matters or otherwise affect the rights of the Company and the Members.

10.5 Tax Information. Necessary tax information shall be delivered to each Member as soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company but not later than five (5) months after the end of each Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Tax Matters Member shall, upon receipt of notice from the IRS, give notice of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Company to all Members in accordance with, and as if such Members were each a “notice partner” pursuant to, Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code.

11. TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

11.1 Restricted Transfer. Except for Transfers pursuant to Section 11.2 to a Permitted Transferee and pursuant to Section 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 or 12.5, no Member shall Transfer all or any part of its Units, or the economic or other rights that comprise such Member’s Interest, unless such Transfer is first approved by the Board of Managers, which approval may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Board of Managers. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence and any other provisions of this Agreement, neither Leucadia nor USPB shall Transfer all or any part of its Units, or the economic or other rights that comprise such Member’s Interest, other than, in the case of Leucadia, to a Permitted Transferee (to which transfer the Applicable Holding Period shall not apply), prior to expiration of the Applicable Holding Period without the consent of the other. In no event will a Member other than Leucadia or its Permitted Transferees be permitted to Transfer all or any of its Units, or all or any part of the economic or other rights that comprise such Member’s Interest, to a Competing Business. The Company shall maintain a record of the ownership of Units which shall, initially, be as set forth on Exhibit 3.1 and which shall be amended from time to time to reflect permitted Transfers of ownership of Units. Subject to restrictions on the transferability of Units as set forth herein, Units shall be Transferred by delivery to the Company of an instruction by the registered owner of a Unit requesting registration of Transfer of such Units and the recording of such Transfer in the records of the Company.

11.2 Permitted Transferees. Subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, a Member shall be entitled to Transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Units to a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Member, or in the case of a Member that is a Subsidiary of Leucadia, to another Subsidiary of Leucadia, holding the Units being Transferred (such Subsidiary referred to as a

“Permitted Transferee”). In no event shall all or any part of a Unit be Transferred to a minor or incompetent except in trust or pursuant to the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act.

11.3 Transfer Requirements. No Person to whom any of a Member’s Units are Transferred (including a Permitted Transferee) shall be admitted to the Company as a Member (as limited under certain circumstances in accordance with Section 11.8) unless the following conditions are satisfied or such conditions are waived by the Board of Managers.

(a) A duly executed written instrument of Transfer is provided to the Board, specifying the Units being Transferred and setting forth the intention of the Member effecting the Transfer that the transferee succeed to a portion or all of such Member’s Units;

(b) an opinion of responsible counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Board to the effect that:

(i) such Transfer would not violate the Securities Act or any state securities or blue sky laws applicable to the Company or the Interest to be Transferred;

(ii) such Transfer would not cause the Company to be considered a publicly traded partnership under Section 7704(b) of the Code;

(iii) such Transfer would not cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; and

(iv) such Transfer would not cause a termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes.

(c) The Member effecting the Transfer and the transferee execute any other instruments that the Board of Managers deems reasonably necessary or desirable for admission of the transferee, including the written acceptance by the transferee of this Agreement and such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and comply with the provisions hereof and execution and delivery to the Board of a special power of attorney as provided in Section 18.3; and

(d) The Member effecting the Transfer or the transferee pays to the Company a transfer fee in an amount sufficient to cover the reasonable expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the admission of the transferee.

11.5 Withdrawal of Member. If a Member Transfers all of its Units pursuant to Section 11.1 and the transferee of such interest is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 11.3 (whether or not such Member’s status is limited pursuant to Section 11.8), such transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a Member effective on the effective date of the Transfer or such

other date as may be specified when the transferee is admitted and, immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company. Upon the transferor Member’s withdrawal from the Company, the withdrawing Member shall not be entitled to any Distributions, or any other rights associated with an Interest in the Company, from and after the date of such withdrawal or Transfer.

11.6 Noncomplying Transfers Void. Any Transfer in contravention of this Article 11 shall be void and of no effect, and shall not bind nor be recognized by the Company.

In the event of the admission of any transferee as a Member of the Company, the Board of Managers shall promptly amend Exhibit 3.1 to reflect such Transfer or admission, as the case may be, and it shall deliver promptly to each Member a copy of such amended Exhibit 3.1.

11.8 Limited Interests. If the Interests with respect to Units held by a Member have been limited as required by Section 3.5 and such Member shall wish to Transfer, or shall have Transferred, Units in accordance with this Article 11, the limitations imposed by Section 3.5 on such Interests shall be removed only with the consent of the Board of Managers.

12. FIRST OFFER; TAG-ALONG, TAKE-ALONG

RIGHTS; LIQUIDITY OPTION

12.1 Offers to Leucadia.

12.1.1 Right of First Offer/Refusal. If, after the Applicable Holding Period, any Member other than Leucadia or its Permitted Transferees (for purposes of this Section 12.1, the “Selling Member”) wishes to Transfer all or any portion of its Units, whether on its own initiative or in response to a bona fide offer from any Person, it shall give written notice (the “Notice of Sale”) to Leucadia (with a copy to the other Members) of the Units subject to such proposed Transfer (the “Offered Units”), the proposed offer or sale price (subject to Section 12.1.5), the terms of the proposed Transfer and the name and address of the proposed transferee (if applicable); provided, however, that no proposed transferee may be a Competing Business or Control a Competing Facility. The receipt of the Notice of Sale by Leucadia shall constitute an offer by the Selling Member to sell the Offered Units to Leucadia. Such offers, unless revoked by written notice given by the Selling Member to Leucadia prior to acceptance by Leucadia shall remain outstanding for a period of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Sale by Leucadia (the “Offer Period”). Leucadia may accept such offer as to all of the Offered Units by giving written notice to the Selling Member (with a copy to the other Members) (a “Notice of Purchase”) of its intention to purchase such Offered Units at the same price and on the same terms specified in the Notice of Sale.

12.1.2 Closing. If Leucadia gives a Notice of Purchase for the Offered Units pursuant to this Section 12.1, the closing of the purchase by Leucadia of the Offered Units shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 60 days after the date of such Notice of Purchase or such longer period of time as may be required to obtain final regulatory approval, which Leucadia and the Selling Member agree to use

their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine at the same price and on terms identical in all material respects to the terms as specified in the Notice of Sale.

12.1.3 Transfer. If, at the close of the Offer Period, Leucadia has not given a Notice of Purchase for all of the Offered Units, or if payment therefor has not been made within 60 days (or such longer period of time as may be required to obtain any final regulatory approvals, which Leucadia and such Selling Member agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) after receipt of the Notice of Purchase (or such longer period as authorized under Section 12.1.2) from Leucadia, the Selling Member shall have 90 days (the conclusion of such period, the “Final Transfer Date”) in which to Transfer the Offered Units to the purchaser specified in the Notice of Sale, if one was specified, at a price not less than 100% of the price specified in the Notice of Sale and on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the transferee than the terms and conditions specified in the Notice of Sale; provided, however, that the identity of the transferee must be reasonably satisfactory to the Board.

12.1.4 New Notice of Sale Required if Reduction in Price. If (a) after the close of the Offer Period and prior to the consummation of the Transfer permitted by Section 12.1.3, the Selling Member wishes to Transfer the Offered Units at a price that is lower than 100% of the price stated in the Notice of Sale or on terms and conditions materially more favorable to the transferee than the price and other terms and conditions contained in the Notice of Sale or the identity of the proposed transferee shall change, or (b) the Selling Member shall not have completed the proposed Transfer on or before the Final Transfer Date, then the Notice of Sale shall be null and void, and the Selling Member shall be required to separately comply with the provisions of this Section 12.1 (including re-offering the Offered Units to Leucadia on such new terms and conditions, if applicable.)

12.1.5 Remain Subject. Units transferred pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement (including this Section 12.1), and such Transfers shall be subject to Section 11.3.

12.1.6 Right to Delegate. Leucadia shall have the right to delegate all or part of its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 12.1 to any Permitted Transferee or to the Company; provided, however, that in the event that after any such delegation from Leucadia to such Permitted Transferee or the Company, such Permitted Transferee or the Company fails to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.1, Leucadia shall be responsible to perform and complete such Permitted Transferee’s or the Company’s obligations contained in this Section 12.1.

12.2 Tag-Along Rights.

12.2.1 Tag-Along Right. With respect to any proposed Transfer before or after the Applicable Holding Period (for purposes of this Section 12.2, a “Sale”) by Leucadia (or its Permitted Transferees) as the Seller (for purposes of this Section 12.2,

the “Initiating Seller”) of Units held by it (each such percentage, for purposes of this Section 12.2, a “Sale Percentage”) to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee (for purposes of this Section 12.2, the “Proposed Transferee”), each other Member shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”) to include in the Sale a number of Units equal to the Sale Percentage of the total number of Units held by such other Member (for purposes of this Section 12.2, each Member so electing being referred to herein as a “Selling Member”). Any Units purchased from a Selling Member pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be purchased at the same price per Unit and for the same form of consideration, and shall be purchased on the same terms and conditions, as the Units being transferred by the Initiating Seller.

12.2.2 Notice of Proposed Sale. The Initiating Seller shall, not less than 30 days prior to a proposed Sale to which Section 12.2.1 is applicable, give written notice to each other Member of such proposed Sale. Such notice (the “Notice of Proposed Sale”) shall set forth: (a) the number of Units proposed to be Transferred, (b) the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, (c) the maximum and minimum per Unit purchase price or, if not in cash, proposed consideration and the other principal terms and conditions of the proposed Sale, (d) that the Proposed Transferee has been informed of the Tag-Along Right provided for in Section 12.2.1 and has agreed to purchase Units in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.2 and (e) that the Initiating Seller has agreed to consummate the Sale, subject only to any required regulatory approvals, this Section 12.2 and Article 11 of this Agreement.

12.2.3 Exercise of Tag Along Right. The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by a Selling Member by giving written notice to the Initiating Seller (the “Tag-Along Notice”) within 15 days following such Selling Member’s receipt of the Notice of Proposed Sale to Members (the “Tag-Along Period”). Each Member who does not deliver a Tag-Along Notice to the Initiating Seller within the Tag-Along Period shall be deemed to have waived all of such Member’s rights under this Section 12.2 with respect to inclusion of such Member’s Units in such proposed Sale, and the Initiating Seller, subject to the participation of the Selling Members, if any, shall have the right, for a 180- day period after the expiration of the Tag-Along Period (or for such longer period of time as may be required to obtain any final regulatory approvals, which the Initiating Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) to Transfer the Units specified in the Notice of Proposed Sale to the Proposed Transferee at a per Unit purchase price no greater than the maximum (and no less than the minimum) per Unit purchase price set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale and on other principal terms which are not materially more favorable to the Initiating Seller and the Selling Members than those set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale.

12.2.4 Default by Proposed Transferee. In the event that the Proposed Transferee does not agree to purchase or the Proposed Transferee does not purchase the portion of each Selling Member’s Interest specified in any Tag-Along Notice on the same terms and conditions as specified in the applicable Notice of Proposed Sale, then the Initiating Seller shall not be permitted to sell its Units to the Proposed Transferee unless the Initiating Member shall acquire from the Selling Members such of the Selling

Member’s Interest as should have been but was not purchased by the Proposed Transferee on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 12.2.3.

12.2.5 Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each Selling Member contained in such Selling Member’s Tag-Along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Selling Member shall be bound and obligated to Transfer in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, as the Initiating Seller, up to such amount of Units as such Selling Member shall have specified in such Selling Members Tag-Along Notice; provided, however, that (a) if the principal terms of the proposed Sale change with the result that the per Unit purchase price shall be less than the minimum per Unit purchase price set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale to Members or the other principal terms shall be materially less favorable to the Initiating Seller and the Selling Members than those set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale to Members, each Selling Member shall be permitted to withdraw the offer contained in such Selling Members Tag-Along Notice and shall be released from such Selling Member’s obligations thereunder, (b) the Selling Members shall be obligated to sell only the Sale Percentage of total Units held by the Selling Members equal to the percentage of total Units being sold by the Initiating Seller and (c) if at the end of the 180th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Notice of Proposed Sale (or for such longer period of time as may be required to obtain any final regulatory approvals, which the Initiating Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) the Initiating Seller has not completed the proposed Sale, each Selling Member shall be released from the obligations under such Member’s respective Tag-Along Notice, any related Notice of Proposed Sale shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for separate such notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 12.2 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Sale pursuant to this Section 12.2.

12.2.6 Additional Compliance. If, prior to consummation, the terms of the proposed Sale shall change with the result that the per Unit purchase price shall be greater than the maximum per Unit purchase price set forth in any Notice of Proposed Sale or the other principal terms shall be materially more favorable to the Initiating Seller and the Selling Members than those set forth in such Notice of Proposed Sale, then, unless all Members have exercised their Tag-Along Rights, such Notice of Proposed Sale shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate such Notice of Proposed Sale to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 12.2 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 12.2.

12.3 Take-Along Rights.

12.3.1 Take-Along Right. Each Member other than Leucadia hereby agrees, if requested by Leucadia or its Permitted Transferees (for purposes of this Section 12.3, the “Initiating Seller”) at any time after expiration of the Applicable Holding Period (including after a Put Notice has been delivered in accordance with Section 12.5), to Transfer for value (for purposes of this Section 12.3, a “Sale”) the same percentage of the Units held by such Member as is being sold by the Initiating Seller (for purposes of this Section 12.3, the “Sale Percentages”) to a Person other than an Affiliate of the Initiating Seller (for purposes of this Section 12.3, the “Proposed Transferee”) in the manner and

on the terms set forth in this Section 12.3 in connection with the Sale by the Initiating Seller of the Sale Percentage of Units by the Initiating Seller.

12.3.2 Take-Along Notice. If the Initiating Seller elects to exercise its rights under Section 12.3.1 (the “Take-Along Right”), a notice (a “Take-Along Notice”) shall be furnished by the Initiating Seller to each Member (for purposes of this Section 12.3, the “Selling Member”). A Take-Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to the Interest to be purchased from the Initiating Seller, the Sale Percentage, the per Unit purchase price and the name and address of the Proposed Transferee. If the Initiating Seller consummates the Sale referred to in the Take-Along Notice, the Selling Member shall be bound and obligated to sell the appropriate proportion of such Selling Member’s Units in the Sale on the same terms and conditions as the Initiating Seller shall sell its Units in the Sale. If at the end of 120 days following the date of the effectiveness of the Take-Along Notice (or such later date as may be required to obtain any final regulatory approvals, which the Initiating Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) the Initiating Seller has not completed the Sale, the Selling Member shall be released from its obligation under the Take-Along Notice, and it shall be necessary for a new and separate Take-Along Notice to be furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 12.3.2 to be separately complied with in order to consummate such Sale pursuant to this Section 12.3, unless the failure to complete such Sale resulted from any failure by the Selling Member to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Section 12.3. A Take-Along Notice delivered pursuant to Section 12.3 shall have precedence over any Put Notice or Call Notice delivered pursuant to Section 12.5, and if the Initiating Seller exercises its Take-Along Rights after a Put Notice or Call Notice has been delivered under Section 12.5, all time frames in Section 12.5 shall be tolled to accommodate such Take-Along Rights for a period not to exceed 120 days.

12.4 Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applied to any Transfer to which Section 12.2 or 12.3 applies:

12.4.1 Consideration. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Units in the proposed Sale pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 includes any securities and the receipt thereof by any Selling Member would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any Selling Member of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to Accredited Investors, the Initiating Seller shall be obligated only to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such requirements to be complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Selling Member to receive such securities, it being understood and agreed that the Initiating Seller shall not be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar statutes. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 12.4, if use of commercially reasonable efforts by the Initiating Seller shall not have resulted in such requirements being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Selling Member to receive such securities, or if regulatory restrictions prevent a Selling Member from holding such securities and the Initiating Seller, after using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable

to structure the transaction in a way that meets such regulatory requirements, the Initiating Seller shall cause to be paid to such Selling Member in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Interest which would have otherwise been sold by such Selling Member to the Proposed Transferee in the Sale, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board in good faith) of the securities which such Selling Member would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for Members’ Units. The obligation of the Initiating Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Selling Member to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Selling Member executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions (including without limitation, if required by the Initiating Seller, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that such Selling Member was so represented), as the Initiating Seller shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to be complied with. Unless the Selling Member in question shall have taken all actions reasonably requested by the Initiating Seller in order to comply with the requirements under Regulation D, such Selling Member shall not have the right to require the payment of cash in lieu of securities under this Section 12.4.1.

12.4.2 Cooperation. Each Selling Member in a Sale pursuant to Section 12.2 or 12.3, as the case may be, whether in its capacity as such or as a Member, member of the Board of Managers, officer or agent of the Company, or otherwise, shall to the fullest extent permitted by law take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably requested in order expeditiously to consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 hereof and any related transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Initiating Seller and the Proposed Transferee; provided, however, that the Selling Members shall be obligated to become liable (severally and not jointly) in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Proposed Transferee solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Selling Member agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Initiating Seller to which the Initiating Seller will also be party, including, without limitation, agreements to (a) make individual representations as to the title to its Interest and the power, authority and legal right to transfer such Interest to the extent such agreements are also made by the Initiating Seller and (b) be liable in respect of any purchase price escrow or adjustment provisions or reduction in purchase price as may apply to Members generally resulting from representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in respect of the Company to the extent that the Initiating Seller is also liable; provided, however, that, (i) except with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of holders of Units, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the lesser of (a) such Selling Member’s pro rata portion of any such liability, in accordance with such Selling Member’s portion of the total value of Interests included in the Sale or (b) the proceeds to such Selling Member as a result of

such Sale and (ii) with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of holders of Interests, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the proceeds to such Selling Member as a result of such Sale.

12.4.3 Closing. The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 shall take place at such time and place as the Initiating Seller shall specify by reasonable advance notice to each Selling Member. It is understood and agreed that the Initiating Seller shall not have any liability to any other Member arising from, relating to or in connection with any proposed transaction which has been the subject of a Tag-Along Notice or a Take-Along Notice, whether or not such proposed transaction is consummated, other than liability for breach of the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

12.4.4 Remain Subject. Units transferred pursuant to Sections 12.2 and 12.3 shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

12.5 Liquidity Options.

12.5.1 Put.

(a) Put Notice. Each of USPB, New Kleinco and NBPCo (including for the purposes of this Section 12.5, their respective Permitted Transferees that have become Members) may, by giving written notice (the “Put Notice”) to Leucadia at any time during the Put Election Periods with respect to that portion of such Member’s Units as is set forth in Section 12.5.1(b) below, elect to sell to Leucadia all or any portion of the Units held by such Member specified in the Put Notice (each such Member delivering a Put Notice, for purposes of this Section 12.5, a “Putting Member”). All Units identified in a Put Notice with respect to a particular Member shall be referred to as “Put Units”. All Put Units referred to in a Put Notice shall be valued pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.5.3 below. Putting Members with respect to a particular Put Date are referred to herein as the “Put Member(s)”. By delivering a Put Notice, the Putting Member is irrevocably committing to sell to Leucadia (or the Company, as provided in Section 12.5.4.2 below) the Put Units specified in the Put Notice. Each Member hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of any Put Notice delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Put Period.

With respect

to USPB, USPB shall also have the right to deliver a Put Notice to Leucadia at any time during the period commencing on the date on which USPB is no longer obligated to deliver cattle to the Company pursuant to the Cattle Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Cattle Agreement Trigger”) and ending 180 days thereafter. With respect to New Kleinco, New Kleinco shall also have the right to deliver a Put Notice to Leucadia at any time during the period commencing on the date on which Xxxxx is no longer employed by the Company (the “Xxxxx Non-employment Trigger”) and ending 180 days thereafter. Such fifth, seventh and tenth anniversary dates, the date of the Cattle Agreement Trigger and the date of the Xxxxx Non-employment Trigger are individually referred to herein as a “Put Date” and are collectively referred to here as the “Put Dates.” The thirty (30) day period beginning on the fifth, seventh and tenth anniversary dates, the one hundred eighty (180) day period beginning on the Cattle Agreement Trigger and the one hundred eighty (180) day period beginning on the Xxxxx Non-employment Trigger shall be referred to as a “Put Election Period;” provided that, if the Initiating Seller has notified USPB, NBPCo and New Kleinco and their respective Permitted Transferees that the Initiating Seller has, in good faith, taken steps to sell the Company, the applicable Put Election Period shall be tolled for a period not to exceed 120 days to permit the Initiating Seller to implement such sale.

12.5.2 Call.

(a) Call Notice. Leucadia (including for the purposes of this Section 12.5, its Permitted Transferees that have become Members) may, by giving written notice (the “Call Notice”) to each of USPB, New Kleinco and/or NBPCo (including for purposes of this Section 12.5, their respective Permitted Transferees that have become Members) at any time during the respective Call Election Period applicable to such Member, elect to purchase from such Member, all or any portion of the Units held by such Member specified in the Call Notice (each such Member to which Leucadia delivers a Call Notice, for purposes of this Section 12.5, a “Called Member”). All Units identified in a Call Notice with respect to a particular Member shall be referred to as “Call Units”. All Call Units referred to in a Call Notice shall be valued pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.5.3 below. Called Members with respect to a particular Call Date are referred to herein as the “Call Member(s)”. By delivering a Call Notice, Leucadia is irrevocably committing to purchase the Call Units from the Called Member. Each Member hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of any Call Notice delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Call Period. Leucadia shall be eligible to deliver a Call Notice in accordance with Section 12.5.2(a) with respect to all or any portion of the Units held by such Member (i) in the case of USPB, at any time (x) during the period commencing on the date of the Cattle Agreement Trigger and ending 180 days thereafter and (y) during the period commencing on the date USPB owns less than twenty (20%) of USPB’s Aggregate Units and ending 180 days thereafter, (ii) in the case of any Member other than USPB, after the ten (10) year anniversary of the Effective Date, at any time during the period commencing on the date such Member owns less than fifty percent (50%) of such Member’s Aggregate Units and ending 180 days thereafter, and (iii) in the case of New Kleinco, also at any time during the period commencing on the date of the Xxxxx

Non-employment Trigger and ending 180 days thereafter. The beginning dates of such periods are individually referred to herein as a “Call Date” and are collectively referred to here as the “Call Dates.” The 180 day periods beginning on the Call Dates shall be referred to as a “Call Election Period”; provided that, if Leucadia has notified USPB and NBPCo and their respective Permitted Transferees that Leucadia has, in good faith, taken steps to sell the Company, the applicable Call Election Period shall be tolled for a period not to exceed 120 days to permit Leucadia to implement such sale.

12.5.3 Determination of Fair Value; Appraisal. The Fair Value of the Put/Call Units shall be as of the applicable Put/Call Date, which shall be determined by agreement between Leucadia, on the one hand, and the Put/Call Member(s) on the other hand, and shall be determined within twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery of the Put Notice or Call Notice, as the case may be. If Leucadia and the Put/Call Member(s) are unable to agree on the Fair Value of the Put/Call Units as of the applicable Put/Call Date within such period, the Put/Call Member(s) as a group on the one hand and Leucadia on the other hand will each designate an appraiser to determine the Fair Value of the Put/Call Units as of the applicable Put/Call Date, such appraisals to be delivered no later than forty-five (45) Business Days after the delivery of the Put Notice or Call Notice, as the case may be. If the lower of the two initial appraisals is equal to or greater than 90% of the higher of the two initial determinations, the Fair Value of the Put/Call Units shall be the average of the two determinations. If the lower of the two initial appraisals is less than 90% of the higher of the initial appraisals with respect to any Put/Call Units, Leucadia and the Put/Call Member(s) shall attempt in good faith for a period of ten (10) Business Days following the later of the dates on which the two initial appraisals were delivered to determine a mutually acceptable Fair Value of the Put/Call Units. If an agreement is not reached during such period, Leucadia and the Put/Call Member(s) shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the completion of such ten Business Day period) direct the appraisers to designate a third appraiser to determine, within ten Business Days after such designation, which appraisal of the Fair Value of such Put/Call Units by the initial two appraisers is the more accurate appraisal of Fair Value of such Put/Call Units in the sole discretion of such third appraiser (who shall be limited to choosing one of the two initial determinations of Fair Value of the Put/Call Units). The determination of Fair Value by such third appraiser shall be final and binding on all parties. Each party shall pay the cost of its initially appointed appraiser, and if a third appraiser is necessary, the appraisal costs of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by the Put/Call Member(s) (pro rata in accordance with the number of Put/Call Units), on the one hand, and Leucadia, on the other hand. The “Fair Value” with respect to a Unit shall be the fair market value of a Unit, determined on the basis of the aggregate equity value of the Company, valuing such Unit as a proportionate interest in a going concern with reference to the relative economic rights and preferences of each Unit as set forth in Article 5, but without discount for marketability, lack of liquidity, minority status or otherwise. The Fair Value shall not take into account the value of the Company or Leucadia’s Interests, in each case, reflected on Leucadia’s books and records or financial statements.

12.5.4 Sale Notice; Assumption of Obligations.

12.5.4.1 Following the establishment of the Fair Value of the Put/Call Units, as of the applicable Put/Call Date, the Put/Call Member(s) shall sell, and Leucadia shall purchase, all of the Put/Call Units for the Fair Value of the Put/Call Units, without interest, on a date mutually agreed by Leucadia and the applicable Put/Call Members (the “Pay Date”) that is no later than 180 days following the date that the Put Notice or Call Notice, as the case may be, was received by the applicable Party, subject to Sections 12.5.4.2 and 12.5.5.

12.5.4.2 Leucadia shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations under Section 12.5 to the Company. Following any such assignment, the Company shall assume such obligations and rights of Leucadia (an “Assumption”) and the Company and Leucadia shall be jointly and severally liable to the Put/Call Member(s). In the event of an Assumption, the purchase and sale of all of the Put/Call Units shall occur on the Pay Date, and Leucadia and the Company shall be obligated to pay the aggregate Fair Value thereof in cash (without interest), with each Put/Call Member receiving the same price per Unit.

12.5.5 Financing; Sale. If, following an Assumption, Leucadia and the Company, acting jointly or severally, are not able to complete the purchase of any Put/Call Units pursuant to a Put Notice or Call Notice, as case may be, the Company shall be required, and each Member that has designated a Manager shall cause such Manager, to use its commercially reasonable efforts for the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the purchase of the Put/Call Units pursuant to a Put Notice or Call Notice, as the case may be. If Leucadia and the Company are unable to consummate the purchase of the Put/Call Units within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Pay Date, then the Put/Call Members may, at their option, require the Company to retain a financial advisor to sell the Company at such price and upon such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Put/Call Members. If requested by the Put/Call Members in connection with such Sale, each Member shall be bound and obligated to Transfer its entire Interest in the Company (for purposes of this Section 12.5, a “Sale”) to a transferee proposed by the Put/Call Members (for purposes of this Section 12.5, the “Proposed Transferee”) at the same price per Unit, in the same form of consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the Put/Call Members. All costs and expenses of the Company and the Put/Call Members with respect to any such Sale shall be paid by the Company.

12.5.6 Cooperation. The Company and each Member, whether in its capacity as such or as a member of the Board of Managers, officer or agent of the Company, or otherwise (the “Other Members”), shall to the fullest extent permitted by law take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Put/Call Members in order expeditiously to consummate the transactions contemplated by Section 12.5.5 and any related transactions, including, without limitation: executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Put/Call Members; provided, however, that the Other Members shall be obligated to become liable (severally and not jointly) in respect of any

representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Proposed Transferee solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Other Member agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Put/Call Members to which the Put/Call Members will also be party, including, without limitation, agreements to (a) make individual representations as to the title to its Interest and the power, authority and legal right to transfer such Interest to the extent such agreements are also made by the Put/Call Members and (b) be liable in respect of any purchase price escrow or adjustment provisions or reduction in purchase price as may apply to Members generally resulting from representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in respect of the Company to the extent that the Put/Call Members are also liable; provided, however, that, (i) except with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of holders of Units, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the lesser of (a) such Other Member’s pro rata portion of any such liability, in accordance with such Other Member’s portion of the total value of Interests included in the Sale or (b) the proceeds to such Other Member as a result of such Sale and (ii) with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of holders of Interests, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the proceeds to such Other Member as a result of such Sale. It is understood and agreed that the Put/Call Members shall not have any liability to any other Member arising from, relating to, or in connection with, any transaction proposed pursuant to Section 12.5.5, whether or not such proposed transaction is consummated, other than liability for breach of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any.

12.5.7 Closing. The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 12.5.5 shall take place at such time and place as the Put/Call Members shall specify by reasonable advance notice to each Other Member.

12.5.8 Required Members. All actions required or permitted to be taken, or consents or approvals required or permitted to be given, by the Put/Call Member(s), pursuant to this Section 12.5 shall only require the approval in writing of the taking of such action or giving of such consent or approval by Put/Call Member(s) holding a majority of the outstanding Units that are Put/Call Units held by the Put/Call Member(s). Any action, consent or approval taken or given pursuant to this Section 12.5 shall be binding on all other Put/Call Member(s).

12.5.9 Precedence of Take-Along Notice. A Take-Along Notice delivered pursuant to Section 12.3 shall have precedence over any Put Notice or Call Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 12.5, and if the Initiating Seller exercises its Take-Along Rights after a Put Notice or Call Notice has been delivered under this Section 12.5, all time frames in this Section 12.5 shall be tolled to accommodate such Take-Along Rights for a period not to exceed 120 days.

13. DISSOLUTION OF COMPANY

13.1 Termination of Membership. No Member shall resign or withdraw from the Company except that, subject to the restrictions set forth in Article 11, any Member may

Transfer its Interest in the Company to a transferee and a transferee may become a Member in place of the Member assigning such Interest.

13.2 Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of the following events: (a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18 802 of the Act, (b) the written determination of the Members holding two-thirds of the outstanding Units or (c) the disposition of all of the Company’s assets.

13.3 Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company for any reason, the Company shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs. A reasonable period of time shall be allowed for the orderly termination of the Company’s business, discharge of its liabilities, and distribution or liquidation of the remaining assets so as to enable the Company to minimize the normal losses attendant to the liquidation process. After the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the establishment of reasonable reserves, any property or assets of the Company, including proceeds from the liquidation thereof, remaining upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company shall be Distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest, after taking account of any adjustment of their Capital Accounts to reflect all Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company through the date of distribution. A full accounting of the assets and liabilities of the Company shall be taken and a statement thereof shall be furnished to each Member promptly after the distribution of all of the assets of the Company. Such accounting and statements shall be prepared under the direction of the Board of Managers.

13.4 No Action for Dissolution. 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 13.2. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the Interests of all Members. Accordingly, except where the Board of Managers has failed to liquidate the Company as required by Section 13.3 and except as specifically provided in Section 18 802 of the Act, each Member hereby waives and renounces its right to initiate legal action to seek dissolution or to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company.

13.5 No Further Claim. Upon dissolution, each Member shall have recourse solely to the assets of the Company for the return of such Member’s capital, and if the Company’s property remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company, including debts and liabilities owed to one or more of the Members, is insufficient to return the aggregate Capital Contributions of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Company, the Board of Managers or any other Member.

14. INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 General. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Board of Managers and each member of the Board, each Member, including the Tax Matters Member in such Member’s capacity as such, and the officers of the Company (all indemnified persons being referred to as “Indemnified Persons” for purposes of this Article 14), from any liability, loss or damage incurred by the Indemnified Person by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Indemnified Person in connection with

the business of the Company, from liabilities or obligations of the Company imposed on such Person by virtue of such Person’s position with the Company, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and any amounts expended in the settlement of any such claims of liability, loss or damage; provided, however, that if the liability, loss, damage or claim arises out of any action or inaction of an Indemnified Person, indemnification under this Section 14.1 shall be available only if (a) either (i) the Indemnified Person, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith that its course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or (ii) in the case of inaction by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person did not intend its inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Company and (b) the action or inaction did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by the Indemnified Person; provided, further, however, that indemnification under this Section 14.1 shall be recoverable only from the assets of the Company, and not from any assets of the Members. The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable attorneys’ fees of an Indemnified Person as incurred, provided that such Indemnified Person executes an undertaking, with appropriate security if requested by the Board, to repay the amount so paid or reimbursed in the event of a final non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 14. The Company may pay for insurance covering liability of the Indemnified Persons for negligence in operation of the Company’s affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless USPB, New Kleinco or NBPCo, or any of their respective Affiliates, for any liability, loss or damage relating to the indemnification obligations of USPB, New Kleinco and NBPCo pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement.

14.2 Exculpation. No Indemnified Person shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company or to any Member for any loss that arises out of any act performed or omitted to be performed by it, him or her pursuant to the authority granted by this Agreement if (a) either (i) the Indemnified Person, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith that such Indemnified Person’s course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, or (ii) in the case of inaction by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person did not intend such Indemnified Person’s inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Company and (b) the conduct of the Indemnified Person did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Person.

14.3 Persons Entitled to Indemnity. Any Person who is within the definition of “Indemnified Person” at the time of any action or inaction in connection with the business of the Company shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article 14 as an “Indemnified Person” with respect thereto, regardless of whether such Person continues to be within the definition of “Indemnified Person” at the time of such Indemnified Person’s claim for indemnification or exculpation hereunder.

14.4 Procedure Agreements. The Company may enter into an agreement with any of its officers, or the Managers, setting forth procedures consistent with applicable law for implementing the indemnities provided in this Article 14.

14.5 Duties of Board of Managers. Without limiting applicability of any other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation the other provisions of this Article 14, which shall control notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.5, the following

provisions shall be applicable to the Board of Managers and the members thereof in their capacity as members of the Board:

(a) The Board and the members thereof and the decisions of the Board shall have the benefit of the business judgment rule to the same extent as the Board, such members and such decisions would have the benefit of such rule if the Board were a board of directors of a Delaware corporation.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 14.7.3, the members of the Board shall have the same duties of care and loyalty as such Persons would have if such Persons were directors of a Delaware corporation but in no event shall any member of the Board be liable for any action or inaction for which exculpation is provided under Section 14.2.

14.6 Interested Transactions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no member of the Board of Managers shall be deemed to have breached his duty of loyalty to the Company or the Members (and such member of the Board of Managers shall not be liable to the Company or to the Members for breach of any duty of loyalty or analogous duty) with respect to any action or inaction in connection with or relating to any transaction that was approved in accordance with Section 6.11.

14.7 Fiduciary and Other Duties.

14.7.1 An Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Indemnified Person for his, her or its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

14.7.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable law, whenever in this Agreement an Indemnified Person is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in his, her or its discretion or under a grant of similar authority, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Indemnified Person desires, including his, her or its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (b) in his, her or its good faith or under another express standard, the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

14.7.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable law, other than corporate opportunities belonging to the Company, which shall include in all cases Competing Businesses and Competing Facilities (unless such corporate opportunity is waived by a vote of the Board of Managers, which vote shall include a majority of the Managers not appointed by Leucadia), Leucadia (or any of its Affiliates) may each engage in any other business activities whatsoever and engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently

or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates, and none of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other Member (including such other Member’s Affiliates) shall have any rights in, with respect to, or to be informed of such other business activities or ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom. Other than corporate opportunities belonging to the Company, which shall include in all cases Competing Businesses and Competing Facilities (unless such corporate opportunity is waived by a vote of the Board of Managers, which vote shall include a majority of the Managers not appointed by Leucadia), Leucadia (or any of its Affiliates) shall not be obligated to present any business or investment opportunity to the Company or its Affiliates even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company or such Affiliates, could be taken by the Company or such Affiliates, and Leucadia (or any of its Affiliates) shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner, member, shareholder, fiduciary or otherwise) or to recommend to any other Person any such particular business or investment opportunity.
