(iv) A Share in the Company evidenced by a Certificate shall constitute a security for all

except with the consent of all of the other Shareholders and upon such terms and conditions as may
be specifically agreed upon between such other Shareholders and the resigning Shareholder. The
provisions hereof with respect to distributions upon resignation are exclusive and no Shareholder
shall be entitled to claim any further or different distribution upon resignation under Section

11. Additional Shareholders. The Board of Directors shall have the right to admit
additional Shareholders upon such terms and conditions, at such time or times, and for such Capital
Contributions as shall be determined by the Board of Directors; and in connection with any such
admission, the Board of Directors shall amend Schedule I hereof to reflect the name, address and
Capital Contribution of the additional Shareholder and the number of Shares issued to the
additional Shareholder in respect of its Capital Contribution.
12. Distributions. Distributions of cash or other assets of the Company shall be made

5
solely from the assets of the Company at the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors,
subject to the requirements of the Delaware Act.
14. Title to Company Property. All property owned by the Company, whether real or
personal, tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company, and no Shareholder,
individually, shall have any interest in such property.
15. Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up and
terminated upon the first to occur of the following:
(a) The determination of all of the Shareholders to dissolve the Company; or
(b) The occurrence of any event causing a dissolution of the Company under Section 18-801 of
the Delaware Act, unless the Company is continued as permitted under the Delaware Act.
16. Winding up of the Company. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 15,
the Directors, or if there is no remaining Director, such person as is designated by the
Shareholders (the remaining Directors or such person being herein referred to as the “Liquidator”),
shall proceed to wind up the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the
requirements of the Delaware Act. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the period of
winding up in light of prevailing market conditions and so as to avoid undue loss in connection
with any sale of Company assets. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue
to govern the rights and obligations of the Shareholders and Directors and the conduct of the
Company during the period of winding up the Company’s affairs. The Liquidator, if other than a
Director, shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of Shareholders,
all of the powers conferred upon the Directors under the terms of this Agreement to the extent
necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to carry out the duties and
functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during such period of time as shall be reasonably
required in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to complete the winding up and liquidation of
the Company. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company, and apply and distribute
the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by
mandatory provisions of applicable law:
(a) to creditors, including Shareholders who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted
by law, in satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or by the
establishment of reserves of cash or other assets of the Company for contingent liabilities in
amounts, if any, determined by the Liquidator to be appropriate for such purposes), other than
liabilities for distributions to Shareholders and former Shareholders under Sections 18-601 or
18-604 of the Delaware Act;
(b) to Shareholders and former Shareholders in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions
under 18-601 or 18-604 of the Delaware Act; and
(c) to the Shareholders pro rata based on the number of shares owned by each.
6
17. Distributions in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16 which require
the liquidation of the assets of the Company, if on dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator
determines that a prompt sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would
cause undue loss to the value of Company assets, the Liquidator may defer for a reasonable time (up
to three (3) years) the liquidation of any assets, except those necessary to timely satisfy
liabilities of the Company (other than those to Shareholders), and/or may distribute to the
Shareholders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common undivided interests in such Company assets as
the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such in-kind distributions shall be made in
accordance with the priorities referenced in Section 16 as if cash equal to the fair market value
of the distributed assets were being distributed. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject
to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator
deems reasonable and equitable and to any joint operating agreements or other agreements governing
the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market
value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may
adopt.
18. Cancellation of Certificate of Formation. Upon the completion of the distribution
of Company property as provided in Sections 16 and 17, the Company shall be terminated, and the
Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation and all qualifications of
the Company as a foreign limited liability company and shall take such other actions as may be
necessary to terminate the Company.
19. Limitation of Liability. The debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company,
whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and
liabilities of the Company, and no Shareholder, Director or officer of the Company shall be
obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of
being a Shareholder, Director and/or officer.
20. Standard of Care; Indemnification of Directors, Officers,
Employees and Agents.
(a) No Director or officer of the Company shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the
Company or any Shareholder on account of such Director’s or officer’s status as a Director or
officer or by reason of such Director’s or officer’s acts or omissions in connection with the
conduct of the business of the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
protect any Director or officer against any liability to the Company or the Shareholders to which
such Director or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of (i) any act or omission of such
Director or officer that involves actual fraud or willful misconduct or (ii) any transaction from
which such Director or officer derived improper personal benefit.
(b) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Director and officer and the affiliates
of any Director or officer (each an “Indemnified Person”) against any and all losses, claims,
damages, expenses and liabilities (including, but not limited to, any investigation, legal and
other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any
action, suit, proceeding or claim) of any kind or nature whatsoever that
7
such Indemnified Person may at any time become subject to or liable for by reason of the formation,
operation or termination of the Company, or the Indemnified Person’s acting as a Director or
officer under this Agreement, or the authorized actions of such Indemnified Person in connection
with the conduct of the affairs of the Company (including, without limitation, indemnification
against negligence, gross negligence or breach of duty); provided, however, that no Indemnified
Person shall be entitled to indemnification if and to the extent that the liability otherwise to be
indemnified for results from (i) any act or omission of such Indemnified Person that involves
actual fraud or willful misconduct or (ii) any transaction from which such Indemnified Person
derived improper personal benefit. The indemnities hereunder shall survive termination of the
Company. Each Indemnified Person shall have a claim against the property and assets of the Company
for payment of any indemnity amounts from time to time due hereunder, which amounts shall be paid
or properly reserved for prior to the making of distributions by the Company to Shareholders.
Costs and expenses that are subject to indemnification hereunder shall, at the request of any
Indemnified Person, be advanced by the Company to or on behalf of such Indemnified Person prior to
final resolution of a matter, so long as such Indemnified Person shall have provided the Company
with a written undertaking to reimburse the Company for all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately
determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(c) The contract rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in
this Section 20 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter
acquire under any statute, agreement, vote of the Directors or otherwise.
(d) The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or another limited liability company, corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss,
whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware Act.
(e) The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors,
grant rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the
Company to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 20 with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors and officers of the Company.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 20, the Company shall indemnify
an Indemnified Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
Indemnified Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Company; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall be entitled to
reimbursement of his or her reasonable counsel fees with respect to a proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated by such Indemnified Person to enforce his or her right to indemnity or advancement of
expenses under the provisions of this Section 20 to the extent the Indemnified Person is successful
on the merits in such proceeding (or part thereof).
8

amendments to the Schedules or the Bylaws, this Agreement may be amended only upon the affirmative
vote or written consent of all Shareholders.
22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Bylaws and the Schedules hereto)
contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the
subject matter hereof.
24. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person or entity other than the

remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. The Company is executing this Agreement as a party,
