A failure to advise the Selling Party in writing before the expiration of the ROFR Option Period as to whether or not the ETE Parties will acquire all of the Subject Interest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to constitute an election not to acquire the Subject Interest.

C-5

(b) If, during the ROFR Option Period, the ETE Parties elect to acquire the Subject Interest at the price and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice (upon such election, the “ROFR Accepting Party”), then such ROFR Accepting Party and the Selling Party shall close such transaction no later than the later to occur of (A) the closing date set forth in the Sale Notice and (B) ninety (90) days after the Selling Party receives the ROFR Acceptance Notice.

(c) The right of first refusal created in this Section 2.01 is an option to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Subject Interest offered for sale by the Selling Party. If the ETE Parties elect not to acquire the Subject Interest or the ETE Parties fail to make an election before the expiration of the ROFR Option Period, the Selling Party may Transfer the Subject Interest to the proposed Transferee named in the Sale Notice upon the terms and conditions described in the Sale Notice and in accordance with this Section 2.01(c). If such Transfer does not occur on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, or if such Transfer is not consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the ETE Parties’ election not to acquire the Subject Interest, then such Transfer shall be null and void ab initio and the Selling Party must again satisfy all of the requirements of this Section 2.01.

(d) Upon consummation of any Transfer of any Subject Interest in accordance with this Section 2.01 (whether to an ETE Party or any other Person), such Transferee shall enter into a joinder agreement to become a Party to and be bound by this Agreement and shall thereafter have all of the rights and obligations as a Selling Party hereunder other than with respect to this Section 2.01 and Section 2.02; provided, however, that this Agreement shall be amended as necessary to provide that only the Parties who collectively own a controlling interest in the SXL GP Interest (whether directly or indirectly by owning membership interests of Sunoco GP) will be obligated to provide ETE the governance rights set forth in Section 2.03 that relate to SXL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Transfers pursuant to this Section 2.01 must comply with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.02. SXL GP Interest Purchase Right.

(a) If a Selling Party receives a bona fide offer from a third party for a Transfer of 50% or more of the SXL IDRs and the ETE Parties have elected to acquire all of such SXL IDRs in accordance with Section 2.01, the ETE Parties shall also have the option to acquire all, but not less than all, of the SXL GP Interest, provided that such interest is then owned by ETP or any of its Subsidiaries (the owner of the SXL GP Interest at such time referred to as the “SXL GP Interest Owner”). The ETE Parties shall advise the SXL GP Interest Owner in writing (the “Purchase Right Acceptance Notice”) of their intent to purchase the SXL GP Interest prior to the expiration of the ROFR Option Period. A failure to advise the SXL GP Interest Owner of its election prior to the expiration of the ROFR Option Period shall be deemed to constitute an election not to acquire the SXL GP Interest.

(b) If the ETE Parties elect to acquire the SXL GP Interest, the transaction shall close within ninety (90) days after the SXL GP Interest Owner receives the Purchase Right Acceptance Notice. The purchase price for the SXL GP Interest shall be the fair market value of such

C-6

interest. For purposes of this Section 2.02(b), the fair market value of the SXL GP Interest shall be determined by agreement among the SXL GP Interest Owner and the ETE Parties or, failing agreement within thirty (30) days following the date on which the SXL GP Interest Owner receives the Purchase Right Acceptance Notice, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the SXL GP Interest Owner and the ETE Parties, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be conclusive as to such matter. If the SXL GP Interest Owner and the ETE Parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within forty-five (45) days following the date on which the SXL GP Interest Owner receives the Purchase Right Acceptance Notice, then the SXL GP Interest Owner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert and the ETE Parties shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert within ten (10) days following the date of designation, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the SXL GP Interest.

(c) ETP shall use its best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries (including Sunoco GP and SXL) to comply with Section 2.01 and Section 2.02 as if such Subsidiaries were parties hereto and bound hereby.

Section 2.03. Governance Rights.

References in this Article IV to Dispositions of a Membership Interest shall also refer to Dispositions of a portion of a Membership Interest. Any attempted Disposition of a Membership Interest, other than in strict accordance with this Article IV, shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio. The Members agree that a breach of the provisions of this Article IV may cause irreparable injury to the Company and to the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedies at law) are inadequate in view of (a) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with such provisions and (b) the uniqueness of the business and the relationship among the Members. Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Article IV may be enforced by specific performance.

Section 4.2 Admission of Assignee as a Member.

An Assignee has the right to be admitted to the Company as a Member, with the Membership Interests (and attendant Sharing Ratio) so transferred to such Assignee, only if (a) the Member making the Disposition (a “Disposing Member”) has granted the Assignee either (i) all, but not less than all, of such Disposing Member’s Membership Interests or (ii) the express right to be so admitted; and (b) such Disposition is effected in strict compliance with this Article IV.

Section 4.3 Requirements Applicable to All Dispositions and Admissions.

Any Disposition of Membership Interests and any admission of an Assignee as a Member shall also be subject to the following requirements, and such Disposition (and admission, if applicable) shall not be effective unless such requirements are complied with; provided, however, that the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive any of the following requirements:

(a) Disposition Documents. The following documents must be delivered to the Board and must be satisfactory, in form and substance, to the Board:

(i) Disposition Instrument. A copy of the instrument pursuant to which the Disposition is effected.

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 5.1 Capital Contributions.

Contemporaneously with the adoption by the Members of this Agreement, each Member, as a result of its Capital Contributions, shall be deemed to have a Membership Interest in the Company with the Sharing Ratio as set forth next to the Member’s name on Exhibit A.

Section 5.2 Loans.

If the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay its obligations, any Member(s) that may agree to do so with the consent of the Board may advance all or part of the needed funds to or on behalf of the Company. An advance described in this Section 5.2 constitutes a loan from the Member to the Company, bears interest at a rate determined by the Board from the date of the advance until the date of payment and is not a Capital Contribution.

Section 5.3 Return of Contributions.

Except as expressly provided herein, no Member is entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member. A Member is not required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.

Section 5.4 Capital Accounts.

An individual Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). A Member that has more than one class or series of Membership Interest shall have a single Capital Account that reflects all such class, classes or series of Membership Interests, regardless of the classes or series of Membership Interests owned by such Member and regardless of the time or manner in which such Membership Interests were acquired. Upon the Disposition of all or a portion of a Membership Interest, the Capital Account of the Disposing Member that is attributable to such Membership Interest shall carry over to the Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l).

ARTICLE VI

Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2, the Company shall distribute to the Members, within 45 days following the end of each Quarter, all funds of the Company, except for funds that all of the Members determine are needed for the payment of existing or foreseeable Company obligations and expenditures. All such distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be made to all Members simultaneously in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios (at the time the amounts of such distributions are determined) at such times as shall be determined by all of the Members, subject to this Section 6.1; provided, however, any loans from Members pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be repaid prior to any distributions to Members pursuant to this Section 6.1.

D-17

Section 6.2 Distributions on Dissolution and Winding Up.

Upon the dissolution and winding up of the Company, after adjusting the Capital Accounts for all distributions made under Section 6.1 and all allocations under this Article VI, all available proceeds distributable to the Members as determined under Section 13.2 shall be distributed to all of the Members in amounts equal to the Members’ positive Capital Account balances.

Section 6.3 Allocations.

(a) Allocations of Net Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.3:

(i) Net Profits (and items thereof) for any fiscal period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios.

(ii) Net Losses (and items thereof) for any fiscal period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios.

(b) Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 6.3(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year, then each Member who has a share of the 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 taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 6.3(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

D-18

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of the type contemplated by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), then items of income and gain shall be allocated to all such Members (in proportion to the amounts of their respective deficit Adjusted Capital Accounts) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of such Member as quickly as possible. It is intended that this Section 6.3(b)(iii) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. If the allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) to a Member as provided in Section 6.3(a)(ii) would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit, then there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit. The Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.3(b)(iv).

(v) Certain Additional Adjustments. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest, 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 such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(vi) Nonrecourse Deductions. The Nonrecourse Deductions for each taxable year shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios.

(vii) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. The Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated each year to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-2) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.

(viii) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2(i). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3(a), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

D-19

(i) Except as provided in Section 6.3(c)(ii), for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each Company item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is allocated pursuant to this Section 6.3.

(ii) Tax items with respect to any Company asset that is contributed to the Company with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. The Company shall account for such variation using any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Board. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Gross Asset Value” herein, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in a manner consistent with Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations using any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Board. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.3(c)(ii) 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 Net Profits, Net Losses and any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(d) Other Tax Provisions.

(i) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Members as of the last calendar day of the period for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any taxable year there is a change in any Member’s Sharing Ratio, the Members agree that their allocable shares of such items for the taxable year shall be determined on any method determined by the Board to be permissible under Code Section 706 and the related Treasury Regulations to take account of the Members’ varying Sharing Ratios.

(ii) In the event that the Code or any Regulations require allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit different from those set forth in this Section 6.3, the Board is hereby authorized to make new allocations in reliance on the Code and such Regulations, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Member.

(iii) For purposes of determining a Member’s proportional share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Net Profits shall be such Member’s Sharing Ratio.

D-20

(e) Withholding. The Company may withhold distributions or portions thereof if it is required to do so by any applicable rule, regulation, or law, and each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Board determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member as an advance against the next distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member, and such amount shall be satisfied by offset from such next distributions. Each Member will furnish the Board with such information as may reasonably be requested by the Board from time to time to determine whether withholding is required, and each Member will promptly notify the Board if such Member determines at any time that it is subject to withholding.

Section 6.4 Limitation on Distributions.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate any Applicable Law.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,

OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

Section 10.1 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee; provided, that in each case the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 10.1(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 10.1.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 10.1 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Company, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the Company shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 10.1, (i) the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; (ii) excise taxes assessed on

D-29

an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 10.1(a); and (iii) action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 10.1 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(g) The provisions of this Section 10.1 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(h) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.1 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 10.2 Liability of Indemnitees.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company or any other Persons who have acquired membership interests in the Company, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission if such Indemnitee acted in good faith.

(b) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, such Indemnitee acting in connection with the Company’s business or affairs shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee.

(c) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.2 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability to the Company, and the Company’s directors, officers and employees under this Section 10.2 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

If such consent is not obtained within 30 Days from such notice, or within the period required to timely file the request for administrative adjustment, if shorter, any Member may file a request for administrative adjustment on its own behalf. Any Member intending to file a petition under Sections 6226, 6228 or other Section of the Code with respect to any item involving the Company shall notify the other Members of such intention and the nature of the contemplated proceeding.

Section 14.3 Entire Agreement; Superseding Effect.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their Affiliates relating to the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby, and supersedes all provisions and concepts contained in all prior contracts or agreements among the Members or any of their Affiliates with respect to the Company, whether oral or written.

Section 14.4 Effect of Waiver or Consent.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Member in the performance by that Member of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Member of the same or any other obligations of that Member with respect to the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, failure on the part of a Member to complain of any act of any Member or to declare any Member in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Member of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

Section 14.5 Amendment or Restatement.

This Agreement or the Pennsylvania Certificate may be amended or restated only by a written instrument executed (or, in the case of the Pennsylvania Certificate, approved) by all Members.

Section 14.6 Binding Effect.

Subject to the restrictions on Dispositions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 14.7 Governing Law; Severability.

THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in a limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Member or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Members or circumstances is not affected thereby, and (b) the Members shall negotiate in good faith to replace that provision with a new provision that is valid and enforceable and that puts the Members in substantially the same economic, business and legal position as they would have been in if the original provision had been valid and enforceable.

D-36

Section 14.8 Further Assurances.

In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions.

Section 14.9 Waiver of Certain Rights.

Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.

Section 14.10 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

Section 14.11 Jurisdiction.

Any and all Claims arising out of, in connection with or in relation to (i) the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, or (ii) any relationship before, at the time of entering into, during the term of, or upon or after expiration or termination of this Agreement, between the parties hereto, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Each party hereto unconditionally and irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court over any Claims and waives any objection that such party may have to the laying of venue of any Claims in any such court.
