if any, in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving
effect to the following adjustments:
Add to such Capital Account the following items:
(a) The amount that such Member is obligated to contribute to the Company; and
(b) The amount that such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore to the Company pursuant
to the penultimate sentence of each of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(5) and 1.704-2(g); and
Subtract from such Capital Account such Member’s share of the items described in Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),(5) and (6).
1.2 “Board of Advisors” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 8.

Member on the Company’s books and records in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) To each Member’s Capital Account there shall be added (a) such Member’s Capital
Contributions, and (b) such Member’s distributive share of (i) Profits and (ii) any items in the
nature of income or gain that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement and
(c) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or that are secured by any Company
property distributed to such Member.
-1-
(b) From each Member’s Capital Account there shall be subtracted (a) the amount of (i) cash
and (ii) the Gross Asset Value of any Company property, that in either case is distributed to such
Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (other than amounts paid as interest or in
repayment of principal on any loan by a Member to the Company), and (b) such Member’s distributive
share of (i) Losses and (ii) any items in the nature of expenses or losses that are specially
allocated pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement, and (c) the amount of any liabilities of such
Member that are either assumed by the Company or secured by any property contributed by such Member
to the Company.
(c) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of determining a Member’s Capital
Account, there shall be taken into account Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions
of the Code and the Regulations.
(d) If any Membership Interest is transferred, the transferee shall succeed to a pro rata
share of the transferor’s Capital Account, based on the ratio that the portion of the Interest
transferred bears to the total Interest of the transferor immediately before the transfer.
(e) The Managers shall increase or decrease the Capital Accounts of the Members to reflect
adjustments to the Gross Asset Values of all Company assets. The adjustments shall reflect the
manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss or deduction inherent in such property (that has
not been reflected in Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Members under
Section 12 of this Agreement if there were a taxable disposition of such property for such fair
market value on such date. The Members’ shares of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and gain
or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to
take account of the variation of the adjusted tax basis and book value of such property in the same
manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations.
(f) Additional adjustments shall be made to the Members’ Capital Accounts as required by
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 or, as permitted but not required by such Regulations,
in the discretion of the Managers. Adjustments to Capital Accounts in respect of Company income,
gain, loss, deduction and non-deductible expenditures (or items thereof) shall be made with
reference to the federal tax treatment of such items (and, in the case of book items, with
reference to the federal tax treatment of the corresponding tax items) at the Company level,
without regard to any required or elective tax treatment of such items at the Member level.
(g) The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are
intended to comply with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted and
applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. If the Managers shall determine that it is
prudent to modify the manner in which Capital Accounts, or any additions or subtractions thereto
(including, without limitation, adjustments relating to liabilities that are secured by contributed
or distributed property or that are assumed by the Company or the Members), are computed to comply
with such Regulations, the Managers shall be entitled to make such modification; provided, however,
that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member pursuant
to Section 17 of this Agreement upon dissolution of the Company. The Managers shall also make (a)
any adjustments that are necessary or
-2-
appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of
Company capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and (b) any appropriate modifications if
unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2.

obligations with respect to the Company are represented by that Member’s Membership Interests.
There shall be two classes of Interests — “Class A Interests” and “Class B Interests.” A Member’s
relative rights, privileges, preferences and obligations with respect to the Company will be
determined under this Company Agreement.
7.2 Class A Interests. Class A Interests have all the rights, privileges,
preferences, and obligations generally provided to a Member under applicable law, and as are
otherwise
-8-
applicable to Class A Interests pursuant to this Agreement. Except as specifically provided
in this Agreement, the holder of the Class A Interests will be entitled to share in distributions
of Distributable Cash based on the percentage of total Membership Interests issued and outstanding
at such time held by the holder of the Class A Interests (the “Class A Member”) as of the relevant
date, which percentage is set forth on Exhibit A and may be amended or adjusted from time
to time. Notwithstanding Section 13, the Class A Member may choose to forgo all, or any portion
thereof, of its share of any distribution of Distributable Cash (the “Declined Distribution”) in
favor of a Common Stock Distribution; provided the Class B Member agrees to accept such Declined
Distribution. Prior to making a distribution of Distributable Cash to the Members, the Managers
must notify the Members of such distribution. The Class A Member shall have two (2) business days
from the date of such notification to notify the Managers whether it shall accept or decline such
distribution. Failure to notify the Managers within such time period shall be deemed an acceptance
of such distribution by the Class A Member. In the event the Class A Member declines such
distribution in favor of the Common Stock Distribution, the Managers shall notify the Class B
Member, and the Class B Member shall have two (2) business days from the date of such notification
to notify the Managers in writing whether it will accept or decline the Declined Distribution.
Failure to notify the Managers in writing within such time period shall be deemed an acceptance of
such Declined Distribution by the Class B Member. “Common Stock Distribution” shall mean the
number of shares of common stock of Firepond, Inc., initially contributed by the Class B Members as
set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Initial Shares”), equal to the quotient of (i) the
total amount of the Declined Distribution by the Class A Member divided by (ii) for any time prior
to the Bridge Notes and Cap Notes being paid in full, 1.40 and thereafter, the higher of (A) the
product of (x) 0.8 times (y) the arithmetic average of the closing price for the Common Stock for
each of the twenty (20) trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of
the Declined Distribution and (B) 1.40.
7.3 Class B Interests. Class B Interests have only the rights, privileges,
preferences, and obligations specifically provided for in this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Class B Interests shall have no voting rights other than those voting rights
specifically required under the TLLCL. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the
holder of the Class B Interests shall be entitled to share in distributions of Distributable Cash
based on the percentage of total Membership Interests issued and outstanding at such time held the
holder of the Class B Interests (the “Class B Member”) as of the relevant date, which percentage is
set forth on Exhibit A as it may be amended or adjusted from time to time, except that the
Class B Member may be entitled to more than its share of such distribution of Distributable Cash in
the event the Class B Member accepts a Declined Distribution in accordance with Section 7.2. The

repurchase rights and other terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other written agreement
entered into between the Class B Member and the Company.

by the Members. The initial number of Managers shall be one (1), and shall be Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx,

decreased, provided such decrease does not shorten the term of any incumbent Manager, from time to
time by the vote or approval of a majority of the outstanding Class A Interests. Removal of any
Manager from office and the appointment of any Manager to fill any vacancies shall likewise be
determined by the vote or approval of a majority of the outstanding Class A Interests.
The Managers shall be advised by a board of advisors (the “Board of Advisors”), such Board of
Advisors to consist of the Managers, an individual designated by Firepond, Inc., and an appointee
of TechDev Holdings, LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power and authority of the Managers
shall not be superseded or limited by the Board of Advisors.

other officer may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Managers. The removal of any

Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability to the
Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and $10,000 plus 90% of the Remaining
Shares were distributed to the Initial Class B Member and the remaining net assets of the Company
were distributed to the Class A Member immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such
Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed
immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.
12.2 Regulatory Allocations and Curative Provisions. The following special
allocations shall be made in the following order and priority:
12.2.1 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section 12, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company fiscal year,
each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of:
(a) the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined
in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2), that is allocable to the disposition of
Company property subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4); and
(b) if such Member would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such
fiscal year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.
The items of income and gain to be so specially allocated pursuant to this Section 12.2.1
shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 12.2.1 is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f), and for purposes of this Section 12.2.1 only, each Member’s Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Section 12 with
respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during
such fiscal year.
12.2.2 Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Section 12 to the contrary (except Section 12.2.1), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum
Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company fiscal year, each Member who
has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined
in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of
Company income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount
equal to the greater of:
(a) the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable
to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5),
that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to such Member Nonrecourse Debt,
determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and
-13-
(b) if such Member would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such
fiscal year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.
The items of income and gain to be so specially allocated pursuant to this Section 12.2.2
shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 12.2.2 is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 12.2.2, each
Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations
pursuant to this Section 12 with respect to such fiscal year, other than allocations pursuant to
Section 12.2.1 of this Agreement.
12.2.3 Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any
adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as
possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 12.2.3 shall be made if
and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all
other allocations provided for in this Section 12 have been tentatively made as if this
Section 12.2.3 were not in this Agreement. It is intended that this Section 12.2.3 qualify and
be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
12.2.4 Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit at the end of any Company fiscal year that is in excess of the sum of (a) the amount
such Member is obligated to contribute to the Company upon liquidation of such Member’s
Interest, and (b) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore to the Company
pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be specially
allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible;
provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 12.2.4 shall be made if and only
to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such
sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 12 have been tentatively made as if
Section 12.2.3 and this Section 12.2.4 were not in this Agreement.
12.2.5 Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other
period shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocation set forth
in Section 12.1.
12.2.6 Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal
year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of
loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are
attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
12.2.7 Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted
tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code
-14-
Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be
taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital
Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the
asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset), and such gain or loss shall
be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their
Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
12.2.8 Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. Solely for purposes of determining a
Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company
within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Member’s Interest in Company
Profits are as provided for in Section 12.1.
12.2.9 Best Efforts Regarding Distributions. To the extent permitted by
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(h) and 1.704-2(i)(6), the Managers shall use their best efforts to
treat distributions of Distributable Cash as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse
Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would not
cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member.
12.2.10 Curative Allocations. The Members acknowledge that all distributions of
Distributable Cash (including distributions upon liquidation of the Company) are intended to be
made in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement and that the
Members’ Capital Accounts are intended to reflect the manner in which such distributions are
intended to be made. The allocations set forth in Sections 12.2.1, 12.2.2, 12.2.3, 12.2.4,
12.2.5 and 12.2.6 of this Agreement (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with
pertain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, but may result in
distortions of the Member’s Capital Accounts in relation to the distributions that each Member
is intended to receive from the Company. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 12.2
(other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account
in allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Members
so that, to the maximum extent possible, at any time the Members’ Capital Accounts shall reflect
the manner in which distributions would be made to the Members, if the Company were liquidated
and the proceeds of such liquidation were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section
13 of this Agreement.
12.2.11 Other Allocations. If, and to the extent that, in any fiscal years, (a)
any item of constructive or imputed income is deemed recognized for federal income tax purposes
by the Company or (b) any item of constructive or imputed expense or payment is deemed incurred
or made, as the case may be, by the Company, for federal income tax purposes, in respect of any
transaction (including a Loan) between a Member (or any Affiliate or Person related to such
Member) and the Company, any such item of constructive of imputed income or any such item of
constructive or imputed expense or payment, as the case may be, shall be allocated to such
Member to the extent that the Managers, acting reasonably, determine such allocation to be
consistent with the Interests of the Member in the Company. Any allocations made to a Member
pursuant to this Section 12.2.11 shall be reflected as an increase (or reduction) in such
Member’s Capital Account.
-15-
12.3 Tax Allocations — Code Section 704(c).
12.3.1 Except as provided in Section 12.2, the income, gains, losses, deductions and
expenses of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes,
among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions
and expenses among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such
allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent
income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Members so as to
reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital
Accounts.
12.3.2 In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain,
loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the
Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of
any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax
purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution using the method determined by
the Managers.
12.3.3 If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to this
Agreement, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense
with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of
such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under
Code Section 704(c) using the method determined by the Managers.
12.3.4 Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the
Managers in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
Allocations pursuant to this Section 12.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local
taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s
Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any
provisions of this Agreement.
| 13. | Distributions. |
Subject to the provisions of Section 7, Section 17 and Section 18 of this Agreement:
13.1 The Managers shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of distributions
of Distributable Cash to the Members, in each case subject to the retention of, or payment to third
parties of, such Distributable Cash as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business
needs of the Company which shall include (but not be limited to) the payment or the making of
provision for the payment when due of the Company’s obligations and expenses.
13.2 All distributions shall be made among the Members ratably based on their respective
percentage interests as set forth on Exhibit A.
-16-
| 14. | Governing Law. |
This Company Agreement shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of
Texas, all rights and remedies being governed by said laws.
| 15. | Indemnification. |
15.1 No Member, Manager or officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company for any act
or omission based upon errors of judgment or other fault in connection with the business or affairs
of the Company if such Member’s, Manager’s or officer’s conduct shall not have constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
15.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Members, Managers and officers of the Company
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, settlements and other amounts (collectively, “Indemnified Losses”) arising from any and
all claims (including attorneys’ fees and expenses, as such fees and expenses are incurred),
demands, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), in which
he may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of the management of the affairs of the
Company, whether or not he continued to be a Member, Manager or officer of the Company or involved
in management of the affairs of the Company at the time any such liability or expense is paid or
incurred; provided that a Member, Manager or officer of the Company shall not be entitled to the
foregoing indemnification if a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined that such
Indemnified Losses resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Member, Manager or officer. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or
conviction under a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create any
presumption that such Indemnified Losses resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of a Member, Manager or officer of the Company or that the conduct giving rise to such
liability was not in the best interest of the Company. The Company shall also indemnify each of
the Members, Managers and officers of the Company if he is or was a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Company to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such Member, Manager or officer of the
Company is or was an agent of the Company, against any Indemnified Losses incurred by such Member,
Manager or officer of the Company in connection with the defense or settlement of such action;
provided that such Member, Manager or officer of the Company shall not be entitled to the foregoing
indemnification if a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined that any such
Indemnified Losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Member, Manager
or officer. The Company may advance a Member, Manager or officer of the Company any expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred as a result of any demand,
action, suit or proceeding referred to in this paragraph (b) provided that (i) the legal action
relates to the performance of duties or services by such Member, Manager or officer of the Company
on behalf of the Company; and (ii) such Member, Manager or officer of the Company provides a
written undertaking to repay to the Company the amounts of such advances in the event that such
Member, Manager or officer of the Company is determined to be not entitled to indemnification
hereunder.
-17-
15.3 The indemnification provided by this Section 15 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of
any other rights to which a Member, Manager or officer of the Company may be entitled under any
agreement, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors and administrators of such Member, Manager or officer.
15.4 Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 15 will be payable only from the assets of
the Company.

security interest in or lien on, place in trust (voting or otherwise), assign or in any other way
encumber or dispose of, directly or indirectly and whether or not by operation of law or for value,
any Interest.

Company. Any attempted Transfer of a Class B Interest that is not made in accordance with these
terms shall be null and void and shall have no effect. In addition, without the prior consent of
the Managers, no Class B Member that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company may
cause or permit a Class B Interest to be Transferred in connection with a Change in Control of such
Class B Member. Any such Transfer shall be null and void and shall have no effect. The Class A
Member may transfer Interests without the consent of the Managers.
16.3 Operation of Transfer. Notwithstanding that a Member has the right to Transfer
any Interest in any manner provided in this Section 16 or otherwise, such Transfer shall not be
permitted unless and until the purchaser, assignee, donee or transferee thereof agrees in writing
to take and accept such Interest subject to all of the restrictions, terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement, the same as if it were a signatory party hereto. The Company will not be
required to recognize any permitted assignment of an Interest until the instrument conveying such
Interest and assuming all obligations under this Agreement has been delivered to the Company and is
satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable discretion.
16.4 Admission of New Members. A person may become a new Member of the Company upon
(i) receiving the consent of the Managers to such admission and to the amount of the Capital
