As of the date hereof, Nuveen Investments owns the Class 1 Interests (formerly the Class 1 and Class 4 Interests), and NIHI owns the Class 2 Interests (formerly the Class 3 Interests). The initial capital accounts of Nuveen Investments and NIHI shall be the capital accounts of Nuveen Investments and NIHI immediately prior to the date hereof in respect of their former Class 1, 3 and 4 Interests, as the case may be. As of the date hereof, the other Members own the Class 7, Class 9 and Class 11 Interests set forth opposite their names on the Interest Schedule. The initial capital accounts of such other Members shall be as set forth on the Interest Schedule. The assets and liabilities of the Company shall be held as a whole and shall not be accounted for separately for each class of Interests. The Members shall not be obligated to make any capital contributions to the Company, and all Interests issued to the Members shall be nonassessable.

(b) The Class 1 and 2 Interests are all fully vested as of the date hereof. The Class 7 Interests shall vest in one installment on June 30, 2007. The Class 9 Interests shall vest in one installment on June 30, 2009. The Class 11 Interests shall vest in one installment on June 30, 2011.

made the capital contributions made by the transferor of such Interests (or made by such transferor’s predecessor in interest). In the event the transferor of such Interests retains any Interests, the transferor shall transfer a pro rata portion of the transferor’s capital account associated with such Interests to the transferee. Upon liquidation of the Company or of any Member’s Interest (in each case as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), liquidating distributions shall in all cases be made in accordance with the positive capital account balances of the Members, as determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments for the taxable year of the Company during which such liquidation occurs (other than those made pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) and -1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3)), by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation).

(c) It is the intent of the Members that each Member’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) shall be determined and allocated for federal income tax purposes in accordance with this Section 3.3 to the fullest extent permitted by §§ 704(b) and (c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Managing Member will be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to this Section 3.3 if necessary in order to comply with Section 704 of the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder or to effect the terms, purposes and conditions of this Agreement; provided that no such change has a material adverse effect upon the amount distributable to any Member hereunder.

(d) For purposes of this Section 3.3, Depreciation shall be allocated solely to the Class 1 and Class 2 Members in proportion to their Class 1 and Class 2 Interests, with 51% of such Depreciation allocated to the Class 1 Members, as a group, and 49% of such Depreciation allocated to the Class 2 Members, as a group. A portion of the gain attributable to the sale or other disposition of a Company asset (including any gain treated as recognized upon the upward revaluation of the Gross Asset Value of a Company asset), in a cumulative amount up to the amount of Depreciation previously recognized with respect to such asset, shall be allocated solely to the Class 1 and Class 2 Members in proportion to their Class 1 and Class 2 Interests, with 51% of such Depreciation allocated to the Class 1 Members, as a group, and 49% of such Depreciation allocated to the Class 2 Members, as a group.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (or an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of any Company assets pursuant to subparagraph (2) or (3) of the definition of Gross Asset Value), Net Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, for the Fiscal Year in which such sale is consummated (or such adjustment occurs) will be allocated in a manner that has the effect of reducing the difference between the Capital Account of each Member and the fair market value of the Interests held by each such Member (based on the relative fair market value of all such Interests and the price in such sale), in proportion to such differences. For purposes of this

Section 3.3(e), the fair market value of the Interests shall be determined by an appropriate process established by the Managing Member acting in good faith after consultation with the Executive Committee.

Section 3.4 Distributions.

Except as provided in this Section 3.4, no Member shall be entitled to receive any distribution from the Company without the consent of the Managing Member. The distributions payable under this Section 3.4 with respect to any Interest for a given Fiscal Year shall be payable to the Member who holds such Interests of record as of the end of such Fiscal Year.

(2) for Fiscal Year 2006 and each Fiscal Year thereafter, an amount equal to the sum of the expenses of depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements for such Fiscal Year and the product of (A) fifty-one percent (51%) multiplied by (B) the Adjusted EBITA for the applicable Fiscal Year less the Class 7 Distribution Amount, the Class 9 Distribution Amount and the Class 11 Distribution Amount, if any, for the applicable Fiscal Year.

(2) for Fiscal Year 2006 and each Fiscal Year thereafter, an amount equal to the product of (A) forty-nine percent (49%) multiplied by (B) Adjusted EBITA for the applicable Fiscal Year less the Class 7 Distribution Amount, the Class 9 Distribution Amount and the Class 11 Distribution Amount, if any, for the applicable Fiscal Year.

(c) For Fiscal Year 2006 and for each Fiscal Year thereafter, as promptly as practicable after the close of such Fiscal Year, the holder of each Class 7 Interest shall be entitled to receive a distribution in respect of each Class 7 Interest held by such holder equal to the Class 7 Distribution Percentage for such Fiscal Year multiplied by the Adjusted EBITA Excess Amount for such Fiscal Year (the aggregate of all payments to such holders of Class 7 Interests, the “Class 7 Distribution Amount”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Class 7 Distribution Amount on a per Interest basis exceed the Class 7 Distribution Cap for the applicable Fiscal Year.

(d) For Fiscal Year 2006 and for each Fiscal Year thereafter, as promptly as practicable after the close of such Fiscal Year, the holder of each Class 9 Interest shall be entitled to receive a distribution in respect of each Class 9 Interest held by such holder equal to the Class 9 Distribution Percentage for such Fiscal Year multiplied by the Adjusted EBITA Excess Amount for such Fiscal Year (the aggregate of all payments to such holders of Class 9 Interests, the “Class 9 Distribution Amount”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Class 9 Distribution Amount on a per Interest basis exceed the Class 9 Distribution Cap for the applicable Fiscal Year.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the amount distributable under Sections 3.4(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) would exceed the Net Profit for the Fiscal Year, the Managing Member shall have the authority to reduce such distributions to an amount equal to such Net Profit; provided that such reduction shall be made in the following order: (i) first, to the amount distributable under Section 3.4(a), (ii) second, to the amount distributable under Section 3.4(b), (iii) third, to the amount distributable under Section 3.4(c), (iv) fourth, to the amount distributable under Section 3.4(d), and (iv) fifth, to the amount distributable under Section 3.4(e).

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 5.1 or in Section 5.4, no Permitted Transferee or Member may assign, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, in whole or in part (any such transaction, a “Transfer”), any of its Interests unless the permitted Transferee or Member obtains the Managing Member’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in the Managing Member’s sole discretion (provided that the Managing Member shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any Transfer made by a Member to the spouse, children or grandchildren of that Member, or a trust for their benefit);

provided that any Permitted Transferee and any Member may Transfer his or her Interests pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution following the death of such Permitted Transferee or Member. No Permitted Transferee or non-Managing Member may pledge or encumber, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, in whole or in part, any of its Interests unless the Member obtains the Managing Member’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in the Managing Member’s sole discretion.

(b) Upon any Transfer, the Permitted Transferee must become a party to this Agreement and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 5.3. Any Permitted Transferee whose acquisition of Interests is permitted in accordance with this Section 5.1 shall not become a Member of the Company, but shall instead acquire the rights of an assignee under the provisions of the Act. The right of any Permitted Transferee to receive the distributions contemplated in Article III shall be subject to the vesting and repurchase provisions applicable to the Member to whom the Interests were initially issued.

(c) In no event shall the Transfer by a Member of his or her Interests relieve such Member of any obligations arising under this Agreement, including any obligations under Section 8.1. Until such time as all of the Interests issued to a Member are forfeited or repurchased, the Member who Transfers the Interests shall continue to be a Member and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and shall continue to exercise all voting and consent rights with respect to the Interests transferred.

(d) Every Transfer of Interests permitted under this Section 5.1 shall be subject to the following requirements:

(1) The Member transferring such Interests (or the executor or administrator of his or her estate) or the executor or administrator of the estate of any deceased Permitted Transferee shall establish that the proposed Transfer will not cause or result in a breach of any agreement binding upon the Company or any violation of law, including without limitation, federal or state securities laws, and the proposed Transfer would not cause the Company to be an investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC;

(2) The Member (or the executor or administrator of his or her estate) or the executor or administrator of the estate of any deceased Permitted Transferee transferring such Interests shall have complied with all provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 5.1; and

(3) The transferee shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement and shall deliver such other documents or instruments as may be required by the Managing Member to reflect the provisions hereof, which may include without limitation, a favorable opinion of reputable legal counsel.

(e) Any purported Transfer, pledge or encumbrance of any Interest or any part thereof not in compliance with this Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect.

Section 5.2 Admission of Additional Members. Except as provided in Section 5.1, one or more additional Class 7 Members, Class 9 Members or Class 11 Members may be admitted to the Company only with the consent of the Members holding a majority of the Interests of the Class to which such additional Members are to be admitted; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required if the addition of such Members does not result in any dilution to the distributions that would otherwise be made hereunder with respect to the applicable Class of Interests. Except as provided in Section 5.1, one or more additional Class 1 Members or Class 2 Members may be admitted to the Company upon consent of the Managing Member.

Section 5.3 Forfeiture of Interests.

(a) Forfeiture of Unvested Interests upon Termination of Employment. Upon the Termination of Employment of a Member (other than a termination by the Company without Cause or, to the extent such definition is applicable to the Member, by such Member for Good Reason, or the death or permanent disability (as such term is used in the disability plan of Nuveen Investments applicable to such Members) of such Member), any unvested Interests of such Member shall automatically be forfeited, without any further action by the Company or the former Member, and without the payment of any amounts in respect of such forfeited Interests. Upon the Termination of Employment of a Member due to the death or permanent disability of a Member, a number of unvested Interests of such Member shall automatically vest as is equal to (A) the number of unvested Interests held by such Member as of such Termination of Employment multiplied by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the number of days following the date hereof to the date of such Termination of Employment by (ii) the total number of days between the date hereof and the regularly scheduled vesting date of the applicable Interests (such number of Interests rounded to the nearest whole Interest); any other unvested Interests of such Member shall automatically be forfeited, without any further action by the Company or the former Member, and without the payment of any amounts in respect of such forfeited Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, a Termination of Employment of a Member shall not affect such Member’s vested Interests, and a Termination of Employment of a Member by the Company without Cause or, to the extent such definition is applicable to the Member, by the Member for Good Reason will not result in any forfeiture or otherwise affect the vesting of any unvested Interests; any vested Interests, any unvested Interests that are not forfeited, and a Member’s related status as such, shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Forfeiture of Interests upon an Event of Forfeiture. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Forfeiture by a Member, such action shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement and any Interests of such Member, whether or not vested, shall automatically be forfeited, without any further action by the Company or the former Member, and without the payment of any amounts in respect of such forfeited Interests.

(c) Voluntary Forfeiture. Any Member who, together with his or her Permitted Transferees (if any), does not hold more than forty (40) Interests of any Class of Interests (any such Member, a “Limited Holder”) may, prior to the first date on which the Interests of the applicable Class could have been called, voluntarily forfeit all (but not less than all) of his or her remaining Interests in the Company.

(d) Forfeited Interests. Forfeited Interests shall cease to have any rights or to be entitled to any payments whatsoever hereunder, including in respect of any distribution or Call Right proceeds (other than any distribution under Section 3.4(c), (d) or (e) with respect to the Fiscal Years preceding the forfeiture (calculated without regard to Section 3.4(f)) to the extent not previously distributed); provided, however, that in the event the amount distributable under Section 3.4(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) exceeds the Net Profit for the Fiscal Year preceding the forfeiture, the amount of the distribution with respect to such Forfeited Interest shall be reduced to in the manner, order and priority provided in Section 3.4(f); provided, further, that (A) any such reduction shall be paid to the forfeiting Member in subsequent Fiscal Years until the reduction amount has been fully paid, and (B) with respect to each subsequent Fiscal Year, the amount of the reduction shall be paid in such Fiscal Year to the extent that the Net Profits in such Fiscal Year exceeds the amounts distributable under Section 3.4(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) with respect to such Fiscal Years.

Section 5.4 Call Right.

(a) The Managing Member will have the right (“Call Right”) at its election to require the Non-Managing Members to sell their respective Class 7 Interests, Class 9 Interests and Class 11 Interests to the Managing Member in accordance with this Section 5.4 for a Repurchase Price equal to the Fair Market Value for such Interests to be paid in cash, or if the Managing Member and the applicable Non-Managing Members mutually agree, in a combination of cash and common stock of the Managing Member or its Affiliates. The Managing Member shall be the purchaser in acquisitions pursuant to the exercise of any Call Right.

(b) The Managing Member may exercise its Call Rights once during the first quarter of Fiscal Years 2008, 2009 and 2010 with respect to 100.00% of the Class 7 Interests, once during the first quarter of Fiscal Years 2010, 2011, 2012 with respect to 100.00% of the Class 9 Interests, and once during the first quarter of Fiscal Years 2012, 2013 and 2014 with respect to 100.00% of the Class 11 Interests, in each case upon written notice to the Non-Managing Members delivered no later than February 15 of such Fiscal Year; provided, however, that the Managing Member may not exercise its Call Right with respect to the Class 9 Interests unless it shall first have exercised its Call Right with respect to the Class 7 Interests, and may not exercise its Call Right with respect to the Class 11 Interests unless it shall first have exercised its Call Right with respect to the Class 9 Interests. Such written notice will set forth the Closing Date on which such purchase will occur.

(c) In the event the Managing Member proposes to effect any Change of Control Transaction, the Managing Member shall have the right (the “Change of Control Call Right”), which shall be in addition to its Call Rights under Section 5.4(a), at its election to require the Non-Managing Members to sell 100% of the Class 7 Interests, Class 9 Interests and Class 11 Interests held by such Members as of such time to the Managing Member or to a non-affiliated third party involved in the Change of Control Transaction (an “Acquiror”) in accordance with this Section 5.4 for a per Interest purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value for such Call Interests, with such purchase price to be paid in cash or, in the case of a sale to an Acquiror, to be paid in such other form of consideration as is being paid in respect of the Class 1 Interests and Class 2 Interests. The Managing Member may exercise its Change of Control Call

Right upon written notice to the Non-Managing Members setting forth the Closing Date, which shall be shortly before or substantially simultaneous with the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction, but in any event no earlier than ten business days following the date of delivery of such notice to the Non-Managing Members. In the event the Managing Member proposes to effect any Change of Control Transaction and does not exercise the foregoing Change of Control Call Right, each Non-Managing Member shall have the right to sell its Interests to the Acquiror substantially concurrently with the sale by the Managing Member and any of its applicable Affiliates, and the Managing Member shall require the Acquiror to so purchase such Interests for a per Interest purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value for such Interests, with such purchase price to be paid in cash or to be paid in such other form of consideration as is being paid in respect of the Class 1 and 2 Interests.

(d) The Company shall pay any Repurchase Price to the applicable Member (or his or her permitted transferees) under this Section 5.4 no later than the later of (i) the Closing Date for the Called Interests and (ii) the date on which the applicable Member (and, if applicable, his or her permitted transferees) executes and delivers a Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to the repurchase provided for herein.

(e) For any Interest that is a Call Interest, the “Fair Market Value” of such Interest is equal to the product of the Fair Market Multiple multiplied by the aggregate distributions in respect of such Interest pursuant to Section 3.4(c), (d) or (e), as the case may be, without giving effect to reductions, if any, to such distributions pursuant to Section 3.4(f), for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Call Right is exercised; provided, that in the event of a Change of Control Transaction, Fair Market Value with respect to any Class of Interests that was not yet entitled hereunder to receive distributions as of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Change of Control Call Right is exercised shall be determined in good faith by the Managing Member; provided further that in no event shall the aggregate Fair Market Value for all Interests called in any given Fiscal Year be less than $1,000.

(f) Each repurchase of a Member’s Interests under this Agreement shall be pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement by and between the Company and the selling Member (and, if applicable, his or her transferee), which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). On the Closing Date, upon the request of the Managing Member, the former Members shall execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement and such further instruments and documents and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.4.

(g) As of any Closing Date, the Non-Managing Members shall cease to hold the Interests to be purchased on the Closing Date, and shall cease to hold the portion of their respective capital accounts attributed to such Interests, if any, and shall no longer have any rights with respect to such portion of such Interests, other than the right to receive the applicable Repurchase Price and, if the Closing Date shall occur prior to the date upon which the Non-Managing Members receive their final distributions under Section 3.4(c), (d) or (e) with respect to the preceding Fiscal Years (calculated without regard to Section 3.4(f)) to the extent not previously distributed, the right to receive such final distribution from the Company notwithstanding the repurchase of such Interests; provided, however, that in the event the amount

distributable under Section 3.4(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) exceeds the Net Profit for the Fiscal Year preceding the forfeiture, the amount of the final distribution with respect to such Forfeited Interest shall be reduced to in the manner, order and priority provided in Section 3.4(f); provided, further, that (A) any such reduction shall be paid to the forfeiting Member in subsequent Fiscal Years until the reduction amount has been fully paid, and (B) with respect to each subsequent Fiscal Year, the amount of the reduction shall be paid in such Fiscal Year to the extent that the Net Profits in such Fiscal Year exceeds the amounts distributable under Section 3.4(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) with respect to such Fiscal Years.

Each Member shall hold in confidence for the benefit of the Company and its Affiliates all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company and its affiliates, and their respective businesses (including, without limitation, any information regarding specific client mandates, instructions and guidelines, specific client fee arrangements, trade secrets, research, secret data, business methods, operating procedures or programs), which shall have been obtained by or become known to such Member during the Member’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliates during the term of such Member’s membership in the Company and which shall not be or become public knowledge or generally known within the industry (other than by acts by the Member in violation of this Agreement) (collectively, the “Trade Secrets and Confidential Information”). During and after termination of any Member’s employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, such Member shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, as may be necessary for the Member to perform the Member’s duties to the Company and its Affiliates, or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process (provided the Company has been given notice of and opportunity to challenge or limit the scope of use or disclosure purportedly so required), use, copy, transmit, communicate, divulge, disclose, or publish, or knowingly or negligently permit others to use, copy, transmit, communicate, divulge, disclose, or publish, any Trade Secrets and Confidential Information to anyone other than the Company and its Affiliates. For the purposes of this

Section 8.1(c), particular facts and information shall not be deemed to be publicly available or generally known within the industry merely because such particular facts or information are embraced by general disclosures or knowledge or because individual features or combinations thereof are publicly available or generally known. All records, files, memoranda, reports, customer lists, documents and the like that the Member uses, prepares or comes into contact with during the course of his or her employment or status as a Member shall remain the sole property of the Company and/or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable, and to the extent in such Member’s possession, shall be turned over to the Company or its applicable affiliate upon termination of the Member’s employment. Each Member hereby expressly consents to the use during such Member’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates of his name and/or likeness by the Company and its Affiliates in trade publications and other media for commercial purposes, provided that such use is reasonably related to the services provided by the Member.

(d) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purposes of the foregoing covenants are to protect the goodwill and value of the Company and to prevent the Member from interfering with the business of the Company and its Affiliates as a result of or following Termination of Employment and/or sale of the Member’s Interests; (ii) the Member’s investment in the Company is not a condition to continued employment with the Company and is a voluntary investment on the part of the Member; (iii) because of the nature of the business in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged and because of the nature of the client information and confidential information to which the Member has access, it would be impractical and excessively difficult to determine the actual damages to the Company and its Subsidiaries in the event the Member breached any of the covenants of this Section 8.1; and (iv) remedies at law (such as monetary damages) for any breach of the Member’s obligations under this Section 8.1 would be inadequate. Each Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that his or her agreement to and compliance with the restrictions contained herein are not burdensome to the Member in light of the opportunities that remain open to the Member despite these restrictions. Moreover, each Member acknowledges that he or she has means available for the pursuit of a livelihood that would not result in a violation of this Section 8.1. Each Member therefore agrees and consents that if the Member commits any breach under this Section 8.1 (in such capacity, a “Breaching Member”), such breach shall constitute an Event of Forfeiture and a breach of this Agreement, and all rights with respect to the Interests held by such Member, whether vested or unvested, shall be forfeited. In addition to (and not in lieu of) any other right or remedy that may be available to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise, each Member agrees that the Company will be entitled to the following remedies:

(1) Money damages from the Breaching Member, including; without limitation, the obligation to pay over to the Company compensation received in connection with such activities, and the Company shall have the right to set off any damages incurred by it against any amounts owed to the Member by the Company; and

(2) Injunctive, declaratory or other non-monetary equitable relief to restrain any breach or otherwise to specifically enforce the provisions of this Section 8.1.

(e) In the event that any provision of this Section 8.1 are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, each Member and the Company hereby agree that such court shall have jurisdiction to reform this Section 8.1 or any other provision hereof so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the parties agree to abide by such court’s determination. If any of the covenants of this Section 8.1 are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the rights of the Company to enforce any such covenant in any other jurisdiction.

(f) A Member’s obligations, and any and all rights of the Company, under this Section 8.1 shall terminate at the end of the Restricted Period, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member’s obligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (with the terms thereunder to run commencing effective as of the termination of employment regardless of when such Purchase and Sale Agreement is or is required to be executed and delivered).

Section 8.2 Indemnification. The Company shall, to the fullest extent authorized by the Act, indemnify and hold harmless any Member, Managing Member, officer or employee (including the members of the Managing Member) of the Company from and against any and all claims and demands arising by reason of the fact that such Person is, or was, a Member, Managing Member, officer or employee of the Company.

Section 8.3 Limited Liability. Except as required under the Act or as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the debts, obligation and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member shall be personally liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member of the Company.

Section 8.4 Notices. All notices, requests, elections, consents or demands permitted or required to be made under this Agreement (“Notices”) shall be in writing, signed by the Person or Persons giving such Notice and shall be delivered personally or by confirmed facsimile, or by commercial overnight courier to the other Members, at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B, or at such other addresses as may be supplied by written notice given in conformity with the terms of this Section 8.4. All Notices to the Company shall be made to the Managing Member at the address set forth on Exhibit B, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to the President of the Company at the principal offices of the Company. The date of any such personal or facsimile delivery or the date of delivery by an overnight courier shall be the date of such notice.

Section 8.5 Consents. Any action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by or on behalf of the Member or Members holding sufficient Interests to authorize or approve such action at such meeting.

Section 8.6 Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Managing Member may amend this Agreement without consent of any other Member; provided that (x) no amendment to this Agreement may require any Member to make capital

contributions to the Company or otherwise make such Member liable for the debts and obligations of the Company without such Member’s written consent, (y) any amendment of the terms of this Agreement that would adversely affect the rights or obligations associated with the Class or Classes of Interests held by any Member or group of Members shall, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, require the written consent of the Members holding a majority of each Class or Classes of Interests so affected, and (z) any amendment of the terms of this Agreement that would adversely affect the rights or obligations associated with a Member or its Interests (other than any impact common to all holders of the particular Class of Interests, which is governed by clause (y) above) shall, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, require the written consent of such Members so affected.

Section 8.7 No Partition. No Member, nor any successor-in-interest to any Member, shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have the property of the Company partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have the property of the Company partitioned, and each Member, on behalf of himself, his successors, representatives, heirs and assigns, hereby waives any such right. It is the intent of the Members that during the term of this Agreement, the rights of the Members and their successors-in-interest, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the right of any Member or successors-in-interest to Transfer or otherwise dispose of his interest in the Company shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions of this Agreement.

Section 8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California.

Section 8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 8.10 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. The parties hereto shall negotiate to replace such invalid provision with another provision with similar economic effect.

Section 8.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto supersede the prior understandings and agreements among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 8.12 Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Members, their respective successors, successors-in-title, heirs and assigns, and each and every successors-in-interest to any Member, whether such successor acquires such interest by way of gift, purchase, foreclosure or by any other method, and each shall hold such interest subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the Members and, subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth herein, their respective successors and

permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any part hereof.

Section 8.13 Creditor. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of (i) any Member or (ii) the Company, other than a Member who is also a creditor of the Company.

Section 8.14 Interpretation. All terms herein using the singular shall include the plural; all terms using the plural shall include the singular; in each case, the term shall be as appropriate to the context of each sentence.

Section 8.15 Arbitration of Disputes.

(a) Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, a Purchase and Sale Agreement or the negotiation, breach, termination, performance or validity thereof shall be submitted to binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”), which shall be the exclusive means for the resolution of any such dispute; provided, however, that a party may seek a preliminary injunction or other like provisional judicial relief in any court of competent jurisdiction if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage. If J.A.M.S./Endispute is unable or unwilling to arbitrate the matter, the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted in accordance with the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-administered Arbitration of Business Disputes before a neutral advisor selected by the Center for Public Resources from its National CPR Panel. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California.

(b) In connection with any arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party thereto and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all Persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within forty-five (45) days of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any

other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement or a Purchase and Sale Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.

(d) Each of the parties hereto (A) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (B) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or a Purchase and Sale Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address set forth opposite such party’s name on the Interest Schedule. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto. Final judgment against any party hereto in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

Section 8.16 Tax Treatment and Elections. The Company shall be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, the Members shall be treated as partners for federal income tax purposes and each of the Members agrees to report consistently with such treatment. The Managing Member shall make all elections necessary to give effect to such treatment. The Managing Member shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company within the meaning of § 6231(a)(7) of the Code and shall have the power to cause the Company to make all elections required or permitted to be made for income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managing Member shall make and maintain an election under § 754 of the Code on behalf of the Company, and the Members other than the Managing Member shall provide such information and sign such documents as the Managing Member may request to enable the Managing Member to make and maintain such election on behalf of the Company.

Section 8.17 Liquidation Valuation Safe Harbor. (i) The Company is authorized and directed to elect the liquidation valuation safe harbor provided by proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-3(1) (and any successor provision) and IRS Notice 2005-43 and (ii) the Company and each of its Members (including any person to whom an interest in the Company is transferred in connection with the performance of services) agree to comply with all requirements of such safe harbor with respect to all interests in the Company transferred in connection with the performance of services while such election remains effective.
