In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of: (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement; and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, then in such circumstance each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been made as if Sections 3.3(c) and 3.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

To the extent 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-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Unit Holder in complete liquidation of such Unit Holder’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment in 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 Unit Holders in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Unit Holder to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(h) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Company Units. Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of Units by the Company to a Unit Holder (the “Issuance Items”) shall be allocated among the Unit Holders so that, to the

extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Unit Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Unit Holder if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

3.4 Regulatory Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(c), 3.3(d), 3.3(e), 3.3(f), 3.3(g) and 3.5 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Unit Holders that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 3.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Governors shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Unit Holder’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Unit Holder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3(h).

3.5 Loss Limitation. Losses allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be allocated without causing any Unit Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Unit Holders would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the limitation set forth in this Section 3.5 shall be applied on a Unit Holder by Unit Holder basis and Losses not allocable to any Unit Holder as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Unit Holders in accordance with the positive balances in such Unit Holder’s Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Unit Holder under Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations.

3.6 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) For purposes of determining Profits, Losses and any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Governors using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(b) The Unit Holders are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article III and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article III in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Unit Holder’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752- 3(a)(3), the Unit Holders’ aggregate interests in Company Profits shall be deemed to be as provided in the Capital Accounts. To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the Governors shall endeavor to treat distributions of Net Cash Flow as having

been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Unit Holder.

(d) Profits and Losses to the Unit Holders shall be allocated among the Unit Holders in the ratio which each Unit Holder’s Units bears to the total number of Units issued and outstanding.

3.7 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Unit Holders so as to take into account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.10(u) of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction 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) and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Governors in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.7 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 Unit Holder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

3.8 Tax Credit Allocations. All income tax credits with respect to the Company’s property or operations shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Membership Interests for the Fiscal Year during which the expenditure, production, sale or other event giving rise to such credits occurs. This Section 3.8 is intended to comply with the applicable tax credit allocation principles of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(4)(ii) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

ARTICLE IV.
DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Net Cash Flow. Subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable loan covenants and restrictions, the Governors, in their sole discretion, shall make distributions of Net Cash Flow, if any, to the Unit Holders in proportion to Units held. In determining Net Cash Flow, the Governors shall endeavor to provide for cash distributions at such times and in such amounts as will permit the Unit Holders to make timely payment of income taxes.

4.2 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or the Unit Holders shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Unit Holders

with respect to which such amount was withheld pursuant to this Section 4.2 for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Unit Holders and to pay over to any federal, state, local or foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld, and shall allocate any such amounts to the Unit Holders with respect to which such amount was withheld.

Unless otherwise required by this Agreement or the Act, any such required consent or approval may be given by a vote of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests.

5.4 Limitation of Liability; Indemnification.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no Governor or Officer shall be indemnified by the Company to the extent prohibited or limited by the Act.

ARTICLE VI.
MEMBERSHIP UNITS; MEMBERS

6.1 Membership Units. The Company is initially organized with one (1) class of Membership Interests, designated in Units, which Units are initially the only class of equity in the Company.

The Company shall have a first lien on the Units of any Member for any debt or liability owed by such Member to the Company.

Additional and different classes of Membership Interests represented by different Units may be created and issued to new or existing Members on such terms and conditions as the Governors may determine. Such additional and different classes may have different rights, powers and preferences (including, without limitation, voting rights and distribution preferences), which may be superior to those of existing Members. Members shall have no preemptive rights to acquire additional or newly created Units.

6.2 Certificates; Surrender for Transfer. Certificates representing Units shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Governors, in their discretion. If a certificate is lost, destroyed or mutilated, a new one may be issued upon such terms and indemnity to the Company as the Governors may prescribe. No new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of Units has been surrendered and canceled.

6.3 Members. Each Person who desires to become a Member must sign this Agreement or complete and execute a signature page to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit “B” attached hereto and such other documents as may be required by the Governors. Membership Interests and Units of the Members shall be set forth on Exhibit “A” to this Agreement, as amended from time to time.

6.4 Additional Members. No Person shall become a Member without the approval of the Governors. The Governors may refuse to admit any Person as a Member in their sole discretion. Any such admission must comply with the requirements described in this Agreement and will be effective only after such Person has executed and delivered to the Company such documentation as determined by the Governors to be necessary and appropriate to effect such admission.

6.5 Members’ Voting Rights. Each Member shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Unit registered in the name of such Member (as shown in the Unit Holder Register) as to any matter for which such Member is entitled to vote under this Agreement or the Act. Members do not have cumulative voting rights as to any matter. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Members shall not have any right or power to take part in the management or control of the Company or its business and affairs or to act for or bind the Company in any way.

6.6 Termination of Membership. If for any reason the membership of a Member is terminated as provided in this Agreement or the Act, the Member whose membership has terminated loses all Membership Voting Interests and shall be considered merely an unadmitted Assignee of the Membership Financial Rights owned before the termination of membership, having only the rights provided for unadmitted Assignees in Section 9.7 hereof.

6.7 No Member Right of Redemption or Return of Capital. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Act, no Member or transferee of any Member shall have any right to demand or receive a return of his/her/its Capital Contribution or to require the redemption of his/her/its Units.

6.9 Loans. Any Member or Affiliate may, with the consent of the Governors, lend or advance money to the Company, in which case the amount of any such loan or advance shall not be treated as a contribution to the capital of the Company but rather shall be a debt due from the Company, repayable out of the Company’s cash, and shall bear interest at a rate not in excess of the prime rate established, from time to time, by any major bank selected by the Governors for loans to its most creditworthy commercial borrowers, plus four percent (4%) per annum. If a Governor or an Affiliate of a Governor is the lending Member, the rate of interest and the terms and conditions of such loan shall be no less favorable to the Company than if the lender had been an independent third party. None of the Members or their Affiliates shall be obligated to make any loan or advance to the Company.

6.10 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting by written action signed by the Members owning the Membership Voting Interests required to take such action at a duly called meeting of the Members.

ARTICLE IX.

TRANSFERS

9.1 Restrictions on Transfers. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Units. In the event that any Member pledges or otherwise encumbers all or any part of such Member’s Units as security for the payment of a Debt, any such pledge or hypothecation shall be made pursuant to a pledge or hypothecation agreement that requires the pledgee or secured party to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all other agreements governing the rights and obligations of Unit Holders in the event such pledgee or secured party becomes a Unit Holder hereunder.

9.2 Permitted Transfers. Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Article IX, a Unit Holder may (a) at any time Transfer all or any portion of such Unit Holder’s Units (i) to the transferor’s personal representative, administrator or trustee to whom such Units are Transferred involuntarily by operation of law, or (ii) without consideration to or in trust for descendants of a Member, or (b) beginning ninety (90) days after Financial Close, Transfer all or any portion of such Unit Holder’s Units (i) to any Person approved by the Governors, in writing. Any such Transfer set forth in this Section 9.2 and meeting the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 below is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transfer”.

9.3 Conditions Precedent to Transfers. In addition to the conditions set forth above, no Transfer of Units shall be effective unless and until all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(a) Except in the case of a Transfer involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor and transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of Transfer as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to the Company to affect such Transfer. In the case of a Transfer of Units involuntarily by operation of law, the Transfer shall be confirmed by presentation to the Company of legal evidence of such Transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the Company. In all cases, the transferor and/or transferee shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses connected with the Transfer and the admission of the Transferee as a Member and incurred as a result of such Transfer, including but not limited to, legal fees and costs.

(b) The transferor and transferee shall furnish the Company with the transferee’s taxpayer identification number, sufficient information to determine the transferee’s initial tax basis in the Units Transferred, and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns. The Company shall not be required to make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any Transferred Units until it has received such information.

(c) Except in the case of a Transfer of any Units involuntarily by operation of law, either (i) such Units shall be registered under the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) the transferor shall provide an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel

shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Governors, to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from all applicable registration requirements and that such Transfer will not violate any applicable laws regulating the Transfer of securities.

(d) Except in the case of a Transfer of Units involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor shall provide an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Governors, to the effect that such Transfer will not cause the Company to be deemed to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

(e) Unless otherwise approved by the Governors and Members representing in the aggregate a 75% majority of the Membership Voting Interests, no Transfer of Units shall be made except upon terms which would not, in the opinion of counsel chosen by the Governors, result in the termination of the Company within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code or cause the application of the rules of Sections 168(g)(l)(B) and 168(h) of the Code or similar rules to apply to the Company. If the immediate Transfer of such Units would, in the opinion of such counsel, cause a termination within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code, then if, in the opinion of such counsel, the following action would not precipitate such termination, the transferor Member shall be entitled to (or required, as the case may be): (i) immediately Transfer only that portion of its Units as may, in the opinion of such counsel, be Transferred without causing such a termination; and (ii) enter into an agreement to Transfer the remainder of its Units, in one or more Transfers, at the earliest date or dates on which such Transfer or Transfers may be effected without causing such termination. The purchase price for the Units shall be allocated between the immediate Transfer and the deferred Transfer or Transfers pro rata on the basis of the percentage of the aggregate Units being Transferred, each portion to be payable when the respective Transfer is consummated, unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the Transfer. In the case of a Transfer by one Member to another Member, the deferred purchase price shall be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account unless another method of securing the payment thereof is agreed upon by the transferor Member and the transferee Member(s).

(f) No notice or request initiating the procedures contemplated by this Section 9.3 may be given by any Member after a Dissolution Event has occurred. No Member may sell all or any portion of its Units after a Dissolution Event has occurred.

(g) No Person shall Transfer any Unit if, in the determination of the Governors, such Transfer would cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code.

The Governors shall have the authority to waive any legal opinion or other condition required in this Section 9.3 other than the Member approval requirement set forth in Section 9.3(e).

9.4 Prohibited Transfers. Any purported Transfer of Units that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever; provided that, if the Company is required to

recognize a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer (or if the Governors, in their sole discretion, elect to recognize a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer): (i) the transferee’s rights shall be strictly limited to the transferor’s Membership Financial Rights associated with such Units; and (ii) the Company may offset against such Membership Financial Rights (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company) any debts, obligations or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee may have to the Company. In the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer of Units that is not a Permitted Transfer, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all cost, liability and damage that such parties may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liabilities, attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result thereof.

9.5 No Dissolution or Termination. The Transfer of Units pursuant to the terms of this Article IX shall not dissolve or terminate the Company. No Member shall have the right to have the Company dissolved or to have such Member’s Capital Contribution returned except as provided in this Agreement.

9.6 Prohibition of Assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, no Transfer of Units may be made if the Units sought to be sold, exchanged or Transferred, when added to the total of all other Units sold, exchanged or Transferred within the period of Twelve (12) consecutive months prior thereto, would result in the termination of the Company under Section 708 of the Code. In the event of a Transfer of any Units, the Members will determine, in their sole discretion, whether or not the Company will elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (or corresponding provisions of future law) to adjust the basis of the assets of the Company.

9.7 Rights of Unadmitted Assignees. A Person who acquires Units but who is not admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 9.8 of this Agreement shall be entitled only to the Membership Financial Rights with respect to such Units in accordance with this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to the Membership Voting Interests with respect to such Units. In addition, such Person shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Company, and shall not have any of the other rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement.

9.8 Admission of Substitute Members. As to Permitted Transfers, a transferee of Units shall be admitted as a substitute Member provided that such transferee has complied with the following provisions:

(a) The Transferee shall, by written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Governors, agree to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and assume the obligations of the transferor Member hereunder with respect to the Transferred Units.

(b) The transferee shall pay for or reimburse the Company for all reasonable legal, filing and publication costs incurred in connection with the admission of the transferee as a Member; and

(c) Except in the case of a Transfer involuntarily by operation of law, if required by the Governors, the transferee shall deliver to the Company evidence of his/her/its authority to become a Member.

(d) The transferee and transferor shall each execute and deliver such other instruments as the Governors reasonably deem necessary or appropriate in connection with such Transfer.

9.9 Representations Regarding Transfers. Each Member hereby covenants and agrees with the Company for the benefit of the Company and all Members, that: (i) it is not currently making a market in Units and will not in the future make a market in Units; (ii) it will not Transfer its Units on an established securities market, a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b) (and any Regulations, proposed Regulations, revenue rulings, or other official pronouncements of the IRS or the Treasury Department that may be promulgated or published thereunder); and (iii) in the event such Regulations, revenue rulings, or other pronouncements treat any or all arrangements which facilitate the selling of Units (commonly referred to as “matching services”) as being a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof, no Member will Transfer any Units through a matching service that is not approved in advance by the Company. Each Member further agrees that it will not Transfer any Units to any Person unless such Person first agrees to be bound by this Article IX.

Each Member hereby represents and warrants to the Company and the Members that such Member’s acquisition of Units hereunder is made as principal for such Member’s own account and not for resale or distribution of such Units. Each Member further hereby agrees that the following legend, as the same may be amended by the Governors in their sole discretion, may be placed upon any counterpart of this Agreement, the Articles, or any other document or instrument evidencing ownership of Units:

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE MEMBERSHIP UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED. SUCH UNITS MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, OR TRANSFERRED, AND NO ASSIGNEE, VENDEE, TRANSFEREE OR ENDORSEE THEREOF WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS HAVING ACQUIRED ANY SUCH UNITS FOR ANY PURPOSES, UNLESS AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION, OR ASSIGNMENT IS PERMITTED BY, AND IS COMPLETED IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH, APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAW AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE MEMBER CONTROL AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

9.10 Distributions and Allocations in Respect of Transferred Units. If any Units are Transferred during any Fiscal Year in compliance with the provisions of this Article IX, Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the Transferred Units for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Governors. All distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee. Solely for purposes of making such allocations and distributions, the Company shall recognize such Transfer to be effective not later than the first day of the month following the month in which all documents to effectuate the Transfer have been executed and delivered to the Company, provided that, if the Company does not receive a notice stating the date such Units were Transferred and such other information as the Governors may reasonably require within thirty (30) days after the end of the Fiscal Year during which the Transfer occurs, then all such items shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the person or entity who, according to the books and records of the Company, was the owner of the Units on the last day of such Fiscal Year. Neither the Company nor any Member shall incur any liability for making allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.10, whether or not the Governors or the Company has knowledge of any Transfer of any Units.

9.11 Additional Members. Additional Members may be admitted from time to time upon the approval of the Governors, and in accordance with such terms and conditions, as the Governors may determine. All Members acknowledge that the admission of additional Members may result in a dilution of a Member’s Membership Interest. Prior to admission as a Member, a prospective Member shall agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement and shall execute and deliver to the Company an Addendum to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit “B” attached hereto. Upon the execution of such Addendum, such additional Member shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement as if such additional Member had executed this Agreement on the original date hereof, and shall be bound by all of the provisions set forth herein.

The Liquidator shall be responsible for overseeing the prompt and orderly winding up and dissolution of the Company. The Liquidator shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and Property and shall cause the Property or the proceeds from the sale thereof (as determined pursuant to Section 10.8 of this Agreement), to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in the following order: (i) first, to creditors (including Members and Governors who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law) in satisfaction of all of the Company’s Debts and other liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), other than liabilities for which reasonable provision for payment has been made; and (ii) second, except as provided in this Agreement, to Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions pursuant to the Act; (iii) third, the balance, if any, to the Unit Holders in accordance with the positive balance in their Capital Accounts calculated after making the required adjustment set forth in clause (ii)(C) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.6 of this Agreement, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

10.3 Compliance with Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts. In the event the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article X to the Unit Holders who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Unit Holder has a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Fiscal Years, including the Fiscal Year during which such liquidation occurs), such Unit Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Unit Holders pursuant to this Article X may be: (i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Unit Holders for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company, in which case the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Unit Holders from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to Section 10.2 of this

Agreement; or (ii) withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Unit Holders as soon as practicable.

10.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, in the event the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704- l(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Dissolution Event has occurred, the Property shall not be liquidated, the Company’s Debts and other liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up.

10.5 Rights of Unit Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Unit Holder shall look solely to the Property of the Company for the return of such Unit Holder’s Capital Contribution and shall have no right or power to demand or receive Property other than cash from the Company. If the assets of the Company remaining after payment or discharge of the debts or liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contribution, the Unit Holders shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Unit Holder or Governors.

10.6 Allocations During Period of Liquidation. During the period commencing on the first day of the Fiscal Year during which a Dissolution Event occurs and ending on the date on which all of the assets of the Company have been distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement (the “Liquidation Period”), the Unit Holders shall continue to share Profits, Losses, gain, loss and other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in the manner provided in Article III of this Agreement.

10.7 Character of Liquidating Distributions. All payments made in liquidation of the interest of a Unit Holder shall be made in exchange for the interest of such Unit Holder in Property pursuant to Section 736(b)(l) of the Code, including the interest of such Unit Holder in Company goodwill.

10.8 The Liquidator. The “Liquidator” shall mean a Person appointed by the Governors to oversee the liquidation of the Company. Upon the consent of a majority in interest of the Members, the Liquidator may be the Governors. The Company is authorized to pay a reasonable fee to the Liquidator for its services performed pursuant to this Article X and to reimburse the Liquidator for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in performing those services. The Company shall indemnify, save harmless, and pay all judgments and claims against such Liquidator and any officers, Governors, agents and employees of the Liquidator relating to any liability or damage incurred by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Liquidator, or any officers, Governors, agents or employees of the Liquidator in connection with the liquidation of the Company, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense of any action based on any such act or omission, which attorneys’ fees may be paid as incurred, except to the extent such liability or damage is caused by fraud, intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of the laws which was material to the cause of action.

10.9 Forms of Liquidated Distributions. For purposes of making distributions required by Section 10.2 of this Agreement, the Liquidator may determine whether to distribute all or any portion of the Property in-kind or to sell all or any portion of the Property and distribute the proceeds therefrom.

ARTICLE XI.

The preceding sentence of this Section 11.5 shall be of no force or effect if the consequence of enforcing the remainder of this Agreement without such illegal or invalid term or provision would be to cause any Member to lose the material benefit of its economic bargain.

11.7 Variation of Terms. All terms and variations thereof used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require.

Accordingly, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which the Company and the non-breaching Members may be entitled hereunder, at law or in equity, the Company and the non-breaching Members shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

11.12 No Third Party Rights. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third parties, including without limitation, any creditors of any Member or the Company.
