ARTICLE III

CAPITALIZATION AND UNITS

Section 3.1. Capital Contributions of Members.

(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, each Member shall from time to time make Capital Contributions to the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Capital Commitment of such Member. As of the date hereof, no Member has any outstanding Capital Commitment.

(b) The initial funding of each Member’s Capital Commitment to the Company shall occur as provided in the Contribution Agreement immediately upon the execution date of this Agreement, and each Member shall receive in exchange therefor the Company Interests and Sharing Ratios set forth opposite such Member’s name on Exhibit A, as from time to time may be updated.

(c) The Members have made representations and warranties to the Company in the Contribution Agreement. In the event of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in the Contribution Agreement that shall entitle the Company to receive indemnification from a Member pursuant to the provisions of the Contribution Agreement (the “Indemnification Obligation”), in addition to any remedy that otherwise may be available to the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity, the Company may take the actions provided in Section 3.1(d).

(d) In the event that a Member incurs an Indemnification Obligation, the Company may make a corresponding debit to: (i) the Capital Account of such Member in the amount of the Indemnification Obligation (the “Capital Account Reduction Amount”); and (ii) the Sharing Ratio of such Member in the proportion that the amount of such Indemnification Obligation bears to the Capital Contributions of such Member (the “Sharing Ratio Reduction Percentage”). Each Member whose Capital Account and Sharing Ratio are debited on account of an Indemnification Obligation shall, at the Company’s option, satisfy such obligation by either (x) contributing cash to the Company in the amount of the Indemnification Obligation (thereby causing the Company to correspondingly credit his or its Capital Account and Sharing Ratio); (y) requesting the Company to reduce his or its Capital Account by the Capital Account Reduction Amount and his or its Sharing Ratio by the Sharing Ratio Reduction Percentage; or (z) any combination of the actions set forth in the preceding clauses (x) and (y). If a Member has not taken any of the alternative actions set forth in clauses (x) — (z) of the immediately preceding sentence within 10 business days following the receipt of notice of the debiting of such Member’s Capital Account and Sharing Ratio, then the Company may reduce the Capital

Account and Sharing Ratio of such Member as provided in clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence in full satisfaction of the Indemnification Obligation of such Member.

Section 3.2. Issuances of Additional Securities.

(a) The Board is hereby authorized to cause the Company to issue additional Company Interests, or classes or series thereof, or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating thereto, or any other type of equity security that the Company may lawfully issue (“Additional Company Equity Securities”) if the Board of Managers determines in good faith that the Company has a need for additional Capital Contributions for any proper Company purpose.

(b) The Board is hereby authorized to cause the Company to issue any unsecured or secured debt obligations of the Company or debt obligations of the Company convertible into any class or series of equity securities of the Company (“Additional Company Debt Securities”) (collectively with the Additional Company Equity Securities, “Company Securities”).

(c) Additional Company Equity Securities may be issuable in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers, and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to existing classes and series of Company Securities, all as shall be fixed by the Board in the exercise of its sole and complete discretion, subject to Delaware law and the terms of this Agreement, including (i) the allocations of items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction to each such class or series of Company Securities; (ii) the right of each such class or series of Company Securities to share in Company distributions; (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Company Securities upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company; (iv) whether such class or series of additional Company Securities is redeemable by the Company and, if so, the price at which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such class or series of additional Company Securities may be redeemed by the Company; (v) whether such class or series of additional Company Securities is issued with the privilege of conversion and, if so, the rate at which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such class or series of Company Securities may be converted into any other class or series of Company Securities; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each such class or series of Company Securities will be issued and assigned or Transferred; and (vii) the right, if any, of each such class or series of Company Securities to vote on Company matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of each such class or series.

(d) Company Securities may be issued to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Board in its sole discretion, and the Board shall have sole discretion, subject to the guidelines set forth in this Section 3.2 and the requirements of the Act, in determining the consideration and terms and conditions with respect to any future issuance of Company Securities.

(e) The Board is hereby authorized and directed to take all actions which it deems appropriate or necessary in connection with each issuance of Company Securities pursuant to this Section 3.2 and to amend this Agreement in any manner which it deems appropriate or

necessary without the joinder of any other Member to provide for each such issuance, to admit additional Members in connection therewith and to specify the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Company Securities being so issued. The Board shall do all things necessary to comply with the Act and is authorized and directed to do all things it deems to be necessary or advisable in connection with any future issuance of Company Securities, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any federal, state or other governmental agency.

(f) Upon the issuance of any Additional Company Equity Securities (whether as a result of the sale of such securities to a third party or otherwise), the Company shall recompute the Sharing Ratios of the Members, taking into account the valuation of the Company at such time (as determined by the Board in good faith), the terms and conditions of the Additional Company Equity Securities, the Sharing Ratios as such existed prior to the issuance of such Additional Company Equity Securities, and such other factors as the Board determines, and shall amend Exhibit A to reflect such revised Sharing Ratios. In addition, the Board shall adjust and recompute the Incentive Interest Percentage and the Tier I A, I, II, III and IV Percentages, taking into account all relevant factors which were attributable to the issuance of Additional Company Equity Securities, including the valuation of the Company at such time (as determined by the Board in good faith), the terms and conditions of the Additional Company Equity Securities and such other factors as the Board determines. The Company shall amend Exhibit A to reflect such revised Sharing Ratios, Incentive Interest Percentages and Tier I A, I, II, III and IV Percentages in accordance with this Section 3.2(f).

Section 3.3. Return of Contributions. No interest shall accrue on any contributions to the capital of the Company, and no Member shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any capital contributed by such Member except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.4. Incentive Interests.

(a) The following Incentive Units are hereby created and are hereby granted to the Persons and in the respective amounts set forth on Exhibit A, subject to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.4:

(i) 100 Tier I A Units, all of which have been granted as of the date of this Agreement;

(ii) 960,000 Tier I Units, of which a certain number of such Tier I Units may be granted to Employees after the date of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4 (the “Tier I Subsequent Units”);

(iii) 960,000 Tier II Units, of which a certain number of such Tier II Units may be granted to Employees after the date of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4 (the “Tier II Subsequent Units”);

(iv) 960,000 Tier III Units, of which a certain number of Tier III Units may be granted to Employees after the date of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4 (the “Tier III Subsequent Units”); and

(v) 960,000 Tier IV Units, of which a certain number of Tier IV Units may be granted to Employees after the date of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4 (the “Tier IV Subsequent Units”).

The Company and each Member agree to treat any interest attributable to a holder of Incentive Units as a separate “profits interest” within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343. In accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, the Company shall treat a holder of Incentive Units as the owner of such profits interest from the date it is granted, and shall file its IRS Form 1065, and issue an appropriate Schedule K-1 to such holder of Incentive Units, allocating to such holder of Incentive Units its distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit associated with such profits interest as if it were fully vested. Each such holder of Incentive Units agrees to take into account such distributive share in computing its federal income tax liability for the entire period during which it holds such profits interest. The Company and each Member agree not to claim a deduction (as wages, compensation or otherwise) for the fair market value of such profits interest issued to a holder of Incentive Units, either at the time of grant of such profits interest or at the time it becomes substantially vested. The undertakings contained in this Section 3.4(a) shall be construed in accordance with Section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2001-43. The provisions of this Section 3.4(a) shall apply regardless of whether or not the holder of a profits interest files an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Incentive Units are issued in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the holders for the benefit of the Company, RSP Inc. and RSP LLC in their capacities as Employees. To the extent provided for in Treasury Regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and/or other Internal Revenue Service guidance issued after the date hereof, the Tax Matters Member acting on behalf of the Company is hereby specifically authorized and directed to elect a safe harbor implementing the concepts articulated in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43, 2005-1 C.B. 1221, under which the fair market value of the Incentive Units received by any Member for services (the “Service Interests”) granted after the effective date of such Treasury Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value of such Service Interests (i.e., a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed under Section 8.2(b) with respect to such Service Interests in a Hypothetical Liquidation occurring immediately after the issuance of such Service Interests and assuming for purposes of such Hypothetical Liquidation that all assets of the Company are sold for their fair market values). If the Company makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, the Company and each Member will comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to Transfers of the Service Interests while the safe harbor election remains effective. For purposes hereof, “Hypothetical Liquidation” means, as of any date, a hypothetical liquidation of the Company as of such date, assuming for purposes of any such hypothetical liquidation that (i) a sale of all of the assets of the Company occurs at prices equal to their respective fair market values as of such date and (ii) the net proceeds of such sale are distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 8.2(b), but only after the payment of all actual Company indebtedness, and any other liabilities related to the Company’s assets, limited, in the case of the hypothetical payment of non-recourse liabilities, to the collateral securing or otherwise available to satisfy such liabilities.

(b) All of the Incentive Units are subject to vesting, forfeiture, and termination as follows:

(i) (A) With respect to any Tier I A Units received by an Employee in exchange for the contribution to the Company by such Employee of his RSP LLC Tier I A Units in connection with the Restructuring Transaction (the “Exchanged Tier I A Units”), (1) a portion of such Tier I A Units equal to the portion of such Employee’s RSP LLC Tier I A Units that were fully vested pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4(b) of the RSP LLC Agreement immediately prior to the consummation of the Restructuring Transaction shall be deemed to be vested as of the Effective Date; and (2) a portion of such Tier I A Units equal to the portion of such Employee’s RSP LLC Tier I A Units that were not fully vested pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4(b) of the RSP LLC Agreement immediately prior to the consummation of the Restructuring Transaction in the same manner as such Employee’s RSP LLC Tier I A Units would have vested pursuant to Section 3.4(b) of the RSP LLC Agreement had the Restructuring Transaction not have occurred and such Employee had retained his RSP LLC Tier I A Units. With respect to any Tier I A Units other than the Exchanged Tier I A Units held by each Employee, such Tier I A Units (x) shall vest ratably over a three-year period following the grant of such Tier I A Units to such Employee, with 1/3rd vesting on the first anniversary of such grant, an additional 1/3rd vesting on the second anniversary of such grant, and the remaining 1/3rd vesting on the third anniversary of such grant (with vesting between such anniversaries occurring pro rata determined by multiplying the number of Incentive Units that would vest on the next annual vesting date by a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of full months that have then elapsed since the last vesting date and a denominator of 12, and rounding to the closest whole number), and (y) shall vest in full (if not previously vested pursuant to clause (x)) upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change.

(B) With respect to any Tier I Units received by an Employee in exchange for the contribution to the Company by such Employee of his RSP LLC Tier I Units in connection with the Restructuring Transaction (the “Exchanged Tier I Units”), (1) a portion of such Tier I Units equal to the portion of such Employee’s RSP LLC Tier I Units that were fully vested pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4(b) of the RSP LLC Agreement immediately prior to the consummation of the Restructuring Transaction shall be deemed to be vested as of the Effective Date; and (2) a portion of such Tier I Units equal to the portion of such Employee’s RSP LLC Tier I Units that were not fully vested pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4(b) of the RSP LLC Agreement immediately prior to the consummation of the Restructuring Transaction shall vest in the same manner as such Employee’s RSP LLC Tier I Units would have vested pursuant to Section 3.4(b) of the RSP LLC Agreement had the Restructuring Transaction not have occurred and such Employee had retained his RSP LLC Tier I Units. With respect to any Tier I Units other than the Exchanged Tier I Units held by each Employee, such Tier I Units (x) shall vest ratably over a three-year period following the grant of such Tier I Units to such Employee, with 1/3rd vesting on the first anniversary of such grant, an additional 1/3rd vesting on the second anniversary of such grant, and the remaining 1/3rd vesting on the third anniversary of such grant (with vesting between such anniversaries occurring pro rata determined by multiplying the number of Incentive Units that would vest on the next annual vesting date by a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of full months that have then elapsed since the last vesting date and a denominator of 12, and rounding to the closest whole number), and (y) shall vest in full (if not previously vested pursuant to clause (x)) upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change.

(D) The Tier III Units held by each Employee shall vest only upon and concurrently with the occurrence of Tier III Payout.

(E) The Tier IV Units held by each Employee shall vest only upon and concurrently with the occurrence of Tier IV Payout.

(ii) All Incentive Units that have not yet vested in accordance with the vesting requirements set forth in clause (b)(i) above that are held by a Person who is an Employee will automatically, without any action required of any Person, be forfeited and thereby become null and void, if and when such Person’s status as an Employee is terminated for any reason or without reason, including by resignation or termination, other than a termination that results from such Person’s death or Disability (as defined below), and any vested, unforfeited Incentive Units held by such Person shall, upon such termination, remain non-voting and shall not be counted in the determination of a Majority Interest of the Members. “Disability” shall be defined as (i) the Person’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months; or (ii) the Person’s receipt of income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under the Company’s or the Company’s Affiliate’s accident and health plan, by reason of the Person’s medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of the death or Disability of a Person holding Incentive Units, all vested and unvested Incentive Units held by such Person shall be retained by such Person or such Person’s estate or representative, as applicable.

(iii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all Incentive Units held by a Person who is an Employee (regardless of whether vested or unvested) shall automatically, without any action required of any Person, be forfeited and thereby become null and void if and when such Person’s status as an Employee is terminated:

(A) for “cause,” which shall mean by reason of such holder’s: (I) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony or to any crime or offense causing substantial harm to the Company or its Affiliates or involving acts of theft, fraud, embezzlement, moral turpitude, or similar conduct, (II) repeated intoxication by alcohol or drugs during the performance of such holder’s duties in a manner that materially and adversely affects the holder’s performance of such duties, (III) malfeasance, in the conduct of such holder’s duties, including, but not limited to, (1) misuse or diversion of funds of the Company or its Affiliates, (2) embezzlement, or (3) material and intentional misrepresentations or concealments on any written reports submitted to the Company or its Affiliates, (IV) violation of any material provision of the Voting and Transfer Restriction Agreement or of such Person’s Confidentiality and Noncompete Agreement, and such Person has failed to cure such violation, if capable of being cured, within a reasonable period of time after such Person has received notice of such violation, or (V) failure to perform the duties of such holder’s employment or service

relationship with the Company or its Affiliates, or failure to follow or comply with the reasonable and lawful written directives of the Board of Managers or the managers or directors of a Company Affiliate by which such holder is employed or in a service relationship, and such Person has failed to cure such failure, if capable of being cured, within a reasonable period of time after such Person has received notice of such failure; or

(B) with respect to vested Incentive Units only, by such Person’s resignation or voluntary early termination of service relationship (other than a termination that results from such Person’s death or Disability), unless such forfeiture is waived by the Board.

(iv) The Company in its sole discretion, taking into account such factors as it determines from time to time, may issue Tier I Subsequent Units, Tier II Subsequent Units, Tier III Subsequent Units and Tier IV Subsequent Units (collectively, “Subsequent Units”). Upon issuance of any Subsequent Units of a given Tier, such Units may, at the election of the Board, have a benchmark value equal to the fair market value of the assets of the Company, net of debt, on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by the Board, and will be entitled to participate in those distributions allocated to the Units of that Tier pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Section 8.2(b), as the case may be, only after holders of all the Units that were outstanding on the date of grant (the “Pre-existing Incentive Units”) have received distributions pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Section 8.2(b), as the case may be, in the aggregate equal to the benchmark value (such limitation on distributions, the “Benchmark Value Payout”). Holders of Pre-existing Incentive Units of a given Tier will continue to be entitled to receive all of the profit distributions payable with respect to the Incentive Units of that Tier pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Section 8.2(b), as the case may be, until the applicable Benchmark Value Payout occurs, at which time future profit distributions will be shared among the holders of the Pre-existing Incentive Units in that Tier and the holders of Subsequent Units in that Tier pro rata.

(c) If any Incentive Units are forfeited pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(ii) or Section 3.4(b)(iii), then such forfeited Incentive Units shall be available to be re-granted, as determined by the Board, in the form of newly awarded, newly issued Incentive Units in the same Tier and in the same amount as the forfeited Incentive Units (any such re-granted Incentive Units, “Re-grant Incentive Units”), subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) each Re-grant Incentive Unit in a given Tier may, at the election of the Board, have a benchmark value equal to the fair market value of the assets of the Company, net of debt, on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by the Board, and will be entitled to participate in distributions made to holders of the Incentive Units of that Tier pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Section 8.2(b), as the case may be, only after holders of all the Units that were outstanding on the date of such re-grant (the “Pre-grant Incentive Units”) have received distributions in the aggregate equal to the benchmark value (such limitation on distributions, the “Benchmark Value Re-grant Payout”); and

(ii) following issuance of such Re-grant Incentive Units in a given Tier, holders of Pre-grant Incentive Units of that Tier will continue to be entitled to receive all of the distributions payable with respect to the Incentive Units of that Tier pursuant to

Section 4.3(a) or Section 8.2(b), as the case may be, until the applicable Benchmark Value Re-grant Payout occurs, at which time future distributions will be shared among the holders of the Pre-grant Incentive Units and the Re-grant Incentive Units in that Tier pro rata.

(d) If all of the Incentive Units available hereunder have not been granted to Employees before the earlier of (i) a Fundamental Change, or (ii) a payout event for the corresponding series of Incentive Units (e.g., a Tier I A Payout for Tier I A Units), then in such case such available Tier I A, Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, Tier IV or the applicable Subsequent Units, as the case may be, shall automatically, without any action required of any Person, be cancelled. The Board shall reflect all changes contemplated by this Section 3.4(d) in an amended Exhibit A.

(e) Upon any forfeiture or other termination of Incentive Units and upon any issuance of Re-grant Incentive Units resulting therefrom, the Company shall amend Exhibit A to reflect such occurrence. In the case of the issuance of Re-grant Incentive Units in lieu of such forfeited Units, the Tier I A, I, II, III or IV Percentages will not be reduced as a result of such forfeiture, but appropriate notation shall be made to reflect the issuance of the Re-grant Incentive Units. The Board shall reflect all changes contemplated by this Section 3.4(e) in an amended Exhibit A.

ARTICLE IV

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.1. Allocations of Profits and Losses. The Members shall share Company Net Profits and Net Losses and all related items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal income tax purposes as follows:

(a) Net Profits and Net Losses for each fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in such manner as shall cause the Capital Accounts of each Member to equal, as nearly as possible, the difference of (i) the amount such Member would receive if (A) all assets on hand at the end of such year were sold for cash at the Carrying Values of such assets, (B) all liabilities were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited in the case of Member Nonrecourse Debt and Company Nonrecourse Liabilities to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liabilities), and (C) any remaining cash was distributed to the Members under Section 4.3(a), minus (ii) an amount equal to such Member’s allocable share of Minimum Gain as computed immediately before the hypothetical sale.

(b) The Board shall make the foregoing allocations as of the last day of each fiscal year; provided, however, that if during any fiscal year of the Company there is a change in any Member’s Company Interest, the Board shall make the foregoing allocations as of the date of each such change in a manner which takes into account the varying interests of the Members and in a manner the Board reasonably deems appropriate.

Section 4.2. Special Allocations.

(a) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 4.1 to the contrary:

(i) If during any fiscal year of the Company there is a net increase in Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt that gives rise to Member Nonrecourse Deductions, each Member bearing the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated items of Company deductions and losses for such year (consisting first of cost recovery or depreciation deductions with respect to property that is subject to such Member Nonrecourse Debt and then, if necessary, a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of deductions and losses, with any remainder being treated as an increase in Minimum Gain attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt in the subsequent year) equal to such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Deductions, as determined in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.

(ii) If for any fiscal year of the Company there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to Company Nonrecourse Liabilities, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (consisting first of gain recognized from the Transfer of Company property subject to one or more Company Nonrecourse Liabilities and then, if necessary, a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain, and if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to such Member’s share of such net decrease (except to the extent such Member’s share of such net decrease is caused by a change in debt structure with such Member commencing to bear the economic risk of loss as to all or part of any Company Nonrecourse Liability or by such Member contributing capital to the Company that the Company uses to repay a Company Nonrecourse Liability), as determined in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.

(iii) If for any fiscal year of the Company there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, each Member bearing the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (consisting first of gain recognized from the Transfer of Company property subject to Member Nonrecourse Debt, and then, if necessary, a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain, and if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to such Member’s share of such net decrease (except to the extent such Member’s share of such net decrease is caused by a change in debt structure such that the Member Nonrecourse Debt becomes partially or wholly a Company Nonrecourse Liability or by the Company’s use of capital contributed by such Member to repay the Member Nonrecourse Debt) as determined in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.

(b) The Net Losses allocated pursuant to this ARTICLE IV shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be allocated to a Member without causing or increasing a deficit balance in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance. All Net Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 4.2(b) shall be allocated to Members with positive Adjusted Capital Account balances remaining at such time in proportion to such positive balances. In the event an allocation of Net Losses has been made to any Member(s) pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2(b), Net Profits shall be allocated to such Member(s), in proportion to the amount of such allocation of Net Losses, until such Member(s) receive an allocation of Net Profits equal to such amount of Net Losses allocated pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2(b).

(c) In the event that a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases a deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account, items of Company income and gain shall be allocated to that Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance as quickly as possible.

(d) If any holder of Incentive Units forfeits all or a portion of such Units, such holder shall be allocated items of loss and deduction in the year of such forfeiture in an amount equal to the portion of such holder’s Capital Account attributable to such forfeited Units.

(e) The allocations set forth in subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 4.2 (collectively, the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations that are made be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations pursuant to this Section 4.2(e). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this ARTICLE IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Board shall make such offsetting special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Adjusted Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and the remaining subsections of this Section 4.2.

(f) In the event Units are issued to a Person and the issuance of such Units results in items of income or deduction to the Company, such items of income or deduction shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to the positive balances in their Capital Accounts immediately before the issuance of such Units.

Section 4.3. Distributions.

(a) The Board may cause the Company to distribute Distributable Funds at such times and in such amounts as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate. All such distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.3(a) shall be made to the Members as follows and in the following order of priority:

(iii) Third: in the event that Tier I A Payout and Tier I Payout both occur, following both Tier I A Payout and Tier I Payout and until Tier II Payout: the Tier I A Percentage to the Members holding Tier I A Units, the Tier I Percentage to the Members holding Tier I Units (allocated among the holders of Tier I Units pro rata, in accordance with the number of Tier I Units of each holder, including, if applicable, taking into account Section 3.4(b)(iv) and Section 3.4(c)), and the remainder to the Members (pro rata, in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios);

(vi) Sixth: following Tier IV Payout, if any: the Tier I A Percentage to the Members holding Tier I A Units, the Tier I Percentage to the Members holding Tier I Units (allocated among the holders of Tier I Units pro rata, in accordance with the number of Tier I Units of each holder, including, if applicable, taking into account Section 3.4(b)(iv) and Section 3.4(c)), the Tier II Percentage to the Members holding Tier II Units (allocated among the holders of Tier II Units pro rata, in accordance with the number of Tier II Units of each holder, including, if applicable, taking into account Section 3.4(b)(iv) and Section 3.4(c)), the Tier III Percentage to the Members holding Tier III Units (allocated among the holders of Tier III Units pro rata, in accordance with the number of Tier III Units of each holder, including, if applicable, taking into account Section 3.4(b)(iv) and Section 3.4(c)), the Tier IV Percentage to the Members holding

Tier IV Units (allocated among the holders of Tier IV Units pro rata, in accordance with the number of Tier IV Units of each holder, including, if applicable, taking into account Section 3.4(b)(iv) and Section 3.4(c)), and the remainder to the Members (pro rata, in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios).

(b) In addition to distributions made to the Members pursuant to Section 4.3(a), and subject to applicable law, to the extent that the Board determines that the Company has Distributable Funds, the Board shall cause the Company to pay to the Members within 90 days after the end of each year, through a distribution of cash and/or a distribution in kind, an amount the fair market value of which is equal to the lesser of (i) the Distributable Funds, or (ii) an amount equal to the highest marginal federal and applicable state income tax rate for individuals (taking into account the character of the taxable income (e.g., long-term capital gain, qualified dividend income, ordinary income, etc.) multiplied by the taxable income of the Company, if any, for such year, such payment to be made among the Members in the same percentages as the taxable income for such year was allocated. Any such payments to a Member under this Section 4.3(b) shall be deemed to be a draw against such Member’s share of future distributions under Section 4.3(a) and Section 8.2(b), so that such Member’s share of such future distributions shall be reduced by the amounts previously drawn under this Section 4.3(b) until the aggregate reductions in such distributions equal the aggregate draws made under this Section 4.3(b).

Section 4.4. Income Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 4.4, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for Capital Account purposes under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.

(b) The Members recognize that with respect to Adjusted Property, there will be a difference between the Carrying Value of such property at the time of revaluation and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time. All items of tax depreciation, cost recovery, amortization, amount realized and gain or loss with respect to such Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Members to take into account the disparities between the Carrying Values and the adjusted tax basis with respect to such properties in accordance with the provisions of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations under those sections; provided, however, that any tax items not required to be allocated under Sections 704(b) or 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code shall be allocated in the same manner as such gain or loss would be allocated for Capital Account purposes under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2. In making such allocations, the Board shall use such method or methods of allocation as it shall determine, in its absolute discretion, to be reasonable and in accord with the applicable Treasury Regulations.

(c) All recapture of income tax deductions resulting from the Transfer of Company property shall, to the maximum extent possible, be allocated to the Member to whom the deduction that gave rise to such recapture was allocated hereunder to the extent that such Member is allocated any gain from the Transfer of such property. For this purpose, deductions that were allocated as a component of Net Profit or Net Loss shall be treated as if allocated in the same manner as the allocation of the related Net Profit or Net Loss.

Section 4.5. Distributions in Kind.

(a) The Board may cause the Company to distribute, and may compel the Members to accept, securities or other property held by the Company at such times and in such amounts as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate; provided, that in any non-cash distribution, the securities or property so distributed will be distributed among the Members in the same proportion and priority as cash equal to the fair market value of such securities of property would be distributed among the Members pursuant to Section 4.3. Securities or other property distributed in-kind to the Members by the Company shall be valued on the basis of the fair market value thereof as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion, acting in good faith, as of the date of distribution.

(b) Any distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Board determines are required or advisable to ensure compliance with applicable law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board may require that the Members execute and deliver such documents as the Board may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state securities laws that apply to such distribution and any further Transfer of the distributed securities, and may appropriately legend the certificates that represent such securities to reflect any restriction on Transfer with respect to such laws.

(a) The Company’s officers, the Board, the Members and their Affiliates, and their partners, officers, directors, employees and agents, shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or the other Members for any acts or omissions that do not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, a breach of fiduciary duty or a breach of the express terms of this Agreement, and the Company shall indemnify to the maximum extent permitted under the Act and save harmless the Company’s officers, the Board and the Members and their Affiliates, and their partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (individually, an “Indemnitee”) from all liabilities for which indemnification is permitted under the Act. Any act or omission performed or omitted by an Indemnitee on advice of legal counsel or an independent consultant who has been employed or retained by the Company shall be presumed to have been performed or omitted in good faith without gross negligence or willful misconduct. THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL RELIEVE ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DUTIES, CLAIMS, ACCOUNTS AND CAUSES OF ACTION WHATSOEVER ARISING OR TO ARISE OUT OF ANY ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE BY ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, AND SUCH INDEMNITEE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION FROM ACTS OR OMISSIONS THAT MAY CONSTITUTE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE.

(e) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Members to personal liability by reason of this indemnification provision.

(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 5.5 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.

The Tax Matters Member may be removed and replaced by action of a Majority Interest of the Members. The Tax Matters Member is authorized to take such actions and to execute and file all statements and forms on behalf of the Company which may be permitted or required by the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. The Tax Matters Member shall have full and exclusive power and authority on behalf of the Company to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Tax Matters Member shall keep the Members informed as to the status of any audit of the Company’s tax affairs, and shall take such action as may be necessary to cause any Member so requesting to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Internal Revenue Code. Without first obtaining the approval of a Majority Interest of the Members, the Tax Matters Member shall not, with respect to Company tax matters: (a) enter into a settlement agreement with respect to any tax matter which purports to bind Members, (b) intervene in any action pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 6226(b)(5), (c) enter into an agreement extending the statute of limitations, or (d) file a petition pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 6226(a) or 6228. If an audit of any of the Company’s tax returns shall occur, the Tax Matters Member shall not settle or otherwise compromise assertions of the auditing agent which may be adverse to any Member as compared to the position taken on the Company’s tax returns without the prior written consent of each such affected Member.

Section 5.12. Section 83(b) Election. Each Member who acquires Incentive Units and who is a United States person within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 7701(a)(30) may file a timely election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) with respect to such Incentive Units and consult with such Member’s tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of such acquisition and of filing an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b). Each such Member acknowledges that it is the sole responsibility of such Member, and not the Company, to file the election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) even if such Member requests the Company or its representative to assist in making such filing.

Section 5.13. Subsidiaries of the Company. The Board may determine to conduct any Company operations indirectly through one or more subsidiaries.

Section 5.14. Tax Reimbursement. If Texas law requires the Company and NGP both to participate in the filing of a Texas franchise tax combined group report, and if NGP pays the franchise tax liability due in connection with such combined report, the parties agree that the Company shall promptly reimburse NGP for the franchise tax paid on behalf of the Company as a combined group member. The franchise tax paid on behalf of the Company shall be equal to the franchise tax that the Company would have paid if it had computed its franchise tax liability for the report period on a separate entity basis rather than as a member of the combined group. In such event, the parties agree that NGP shall be considered as paying such amount on behalf of the Company and the Company shall deduct for federal income tax purposes 100% of the Texas franchise tax attributable to the Company; provided that in the event that such deduction may not be properly taken by the Company, the Company shall reimburse NGP for the after-tax cost of such payment of Texas franchise tax paid on the Company’s behalf.

ARTICLE VII

BOOKS, REPORTS, MEETINGS AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 7.1. Capital Accounts, Books and Records.

(a) The Company shall keep books of account for the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such books shall be maintained at the principal office of the Company.

(b) An individual capital account (the “Capital Account”) shall be maintained by the Company for each Member as provided below:

(i) The Capital Account of each Member shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be increased by the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property contributed to the Company by such Member (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code) and by such Member’s share of the Net Profits of the Company and special allocations under Section 4.2, and shall be decreased by such Member’s share of the Net Losses of the Company and special allocations under Section 4.2 and by the amount of cash or the fair market value of any property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue

Code). The Capital Accounts shall also be increased or decreased to reflect a revaluation of Company property pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of Carrying Value.

(ii) Any adjustments of basis of Company property provided for under Sections 734 and 743 of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable provisions of state law (resulting from an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code or comparable provisions of state law) shall not affect the Capital Accounts of the Members (unless otherwise required by applicable Treasury Regulations), and the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be debited or credited pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.1 as if no such election had been made.

(iii) Capital Accounts shall be adjusted, in a manner consistent with this Section 7.1, to reflect any adjustments in items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction that result from amended returns filed by the Company or pursuant to an agreement by the Company with the Internal Revenue Service or a final court decision.

(iv) Immediately before the exercise of an Incentive Option to acquire Units (the “Exercise”), the Capital Accounts of the existing Members shall be adjusted by assuming that the assets of the Company were sold by the Company for cash at their respective fair market values as of the date of Exercise, and crediting or debiting each Member’s Capital Account with its respective share of the hypothetical gains and losses resulting from such assumed sales in the same manner as gains or losses on actual sales of such properties would be credited or debited to such Member’s Capital Account. Thereafter, the Company shall be deemed to have distributed to the person exercising the option (the “Optionee”) cash in an amount equal to the Distributed Asset Amount (as defined below) and, thereafter, the Optionee shall be deemed to have contributed such cash and the Exercise price to the Company. “Distributed Asset Amount” shall be the excess of (a) the product of (x) the sum of the Exercise price plus the fair market value of the net assets of the Company immediately before the Exercise, multiplied by (y) the percentage obtained by dividing the number of Units issued to the Optionee by the total number of Units outstanding (taking into account the Units issued to the Optionee) over (b) the Exercise price. The initial Capital Account attributable to the Company Interest received by a Person exercising an Incentive Option shall be an amount equal to the portion of the Capital Accounts (which Capital Accounts shall at that point already reflect the payment of the exercise price) of all Members that is equal to the ratio that the Sharing Ratio received by the Person exercising an Option bears to the Sharing Ratios of all of the Members immediately after the Incentive Option exercise.

(v) It is the intention of the Members that the Capital Accounts of each Member be kept in the manner required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). To the extent any additional adjustment to the Capital Accounts is required by such regulation, the Board is hereby authorized to make such adjustment after notice to the Members.

(vi) In accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), upon a Member’s contribution to the Company of cash or properties in exchange for a Company Interest, the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying

Values of all Company properties shall, immediately prior to such issuance, be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to the Company properties, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual Transfer of each such property immediately prior to such contribution for an amount equal to its fair market value and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.

(vii) Any Person who acquires a Company Interest directly from a Member, or whose Company Interest shall be increased by means of a Transfer to it of all or part of the Company Interest of another Member, shall have a Capital Account (including a credit for all Capital Contributions made by such Member Transferring such Company Interest) which includes the Capital Account balance of the Company Interest or portion thereof so acquired or Transferred.

Section 7.2. Bank Accounts. The Board shall cause one or more Company accounts to be maintained in a bank (or banks) which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or some other financial institution, which accounts shall be used for the payment of the expenditures incurred by the Company in connection with the business of the Company, and in which shall be deposited any and all receipts of the Company. The Board shall determine the number of and the Persons who will be authorized as signatories on each such bank account. The Company may invest the Company funds in such money market accounts or other investments as the Board shall determine to be of high quality.

Section 7.3. Reports. The Company shall provide each Member with copies of such financial reports as shall be reasonably requested from time to time by the Members and any such other reports and financial information as the Board shall determine from time to time, including periodic consolidated financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries (including income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements) and copies of all engineering reserve reports and other financial reports that the Company or its subsidiaries provides to any financial institution that provides debt or equity financing to the Company or its subsidiaries.

Section 7.4. Meetings of Members. The Board may hold meetings of the Members from time to time to inform and consult with the Members concerning the Company’s assets and such other matters as the Board deems appropriate, provided that nothing in this Section 7.4 shall require the Board to hold any such meetings. Such meetings shall be held at such times and places, as often and in such manner as shall be determined by the Board. The Board at its election may separately inform and consult with the Members for the above purposes without the necessity of calling and/or holding a meeting of the Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, the Members shall not be permitted to take part in the business or control of the business of the Company; it being the intention of the parties that the involvement of the Members as contemplated in this Section 7.4 is for the purpose of informing the Members with respect to various Company matters, explaining any information furnished to the Members in connection therewith, answering any questions the Members may have with respect thereto and receiving any ideas or suggestions the Members may have with respect thereto; it being the further intention of the parties that the Board shall have full and exclusive power and authority on behalf of the Company to acquire, manage, control and administer the assets, business and

affairs of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.5. Confidentiality. No Member shall use, publish, disseminate or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information that should come into the possession of such Member for other than a proper Company purpose. No Member shall disclose any such Confidential Information except as expressly authorized by this Agreement or by the Board, or as required by law or governmental or regulatory authority. Each Member shall instruct all Affiliates (including their representatives, agents and counsel) to comply with this Section 7.5. If a Member is required by law or court order to disclose information that would otherwise be Confidential Information under this Agreement, such Member shall immediately notify the Company of such notice and provide the Company the opportunity to resist such disclosure by appropriate proceedings. The terms of this Section 7.5 shall survive with respect to each Member until the earlier to occur of (a) the date following one year from the date of the liquidation of the Company and (b) the date following two years from the date of termination of such Member’s Company Interest.

ARTICLE VIII

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 8.1. Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) December 31, 2019;

(b) The sale, disposition or termination of all or substantially all of the property then owned by the Company; or

Section 8.2. Liquidation and Termination. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board or, if the Board so desires, a Person selected by the Board, shall act as liquidator or shall appoint one or more liquidators who shall have full authority to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distribution as provided herein. The liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Board. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(a) As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator, if requested by any Member, shall cause a proper accounting to be made by the Company’s independent accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as appropriate.

(b) The liquidator shall pay all of the debts and liabilities of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision therefor (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine). After making payment or provision for all

debts and liabilities of the Company, the liquidator shall sell all properties and assets of the Company for cash as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the best price therefor; provided, however, that upon the consent of a Majority Interest of the Members, the liquidator may distribute such properties in kind. All Net Profit or Net Loss (or other items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocable under Section 4.2) realized on such sales shall be allocated to the Members as provided in this Agreement, and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted accordingly. In the event of a distribution of properties in kind, the liquidator shall first adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members by the amount of any Net Profit or Net Loss (or other items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocable under Section 4.2) that would have been recognized by the Members if such properties had been sold at then fair market values. The liquidator shall then distribute the proceeds of such sales or such properties to the Members in the manner provided in Section 4.3. If the foregoing distributions to the Members do not equal the Member’s respective positive Capital Account balances as determined after giving effect to the foregoing adjustments and to all adjustments attributable to allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss realized by the Company during the taxable year in question and all adjustments attributable to contributions and distributions of money and property effected prior to such distribution, then, the allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss provided for in this Agreement shall be adjusted, to the least extent necessary, to produce a Capital Account balance for each Member which corresponds to the amount of the distribution to such Member. Each Member shall have the right to designate another Person to receive any property which otherwise would be distributed in kind to that Member pursuant to this Section 8.2.

(c) Except as expressly provided herein, the liquidator shall comply with any applicable requirements of the Act and all other applicable laws pertaining to the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the final distribution of its assets.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Member shall be obligated to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account at any time.

The distribution of cash and/or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall constitute a complete return to the Members of their Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Members of their Company Interest and all Company property.

ARTICLE IX

ASSIGNMENTS OF COMPANY INTERESTS

(a) No Member’s Company Interest or rights therein shall be Transferred, or made subject to an Indirect Transfer, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Board; provided, however, that any Member may assign its Company Interest without obtaining such consent pursuant to (i) an Excluded Affiliate Transfer or (ii) a Transfer that is otherwise permitted pursuant to the Voting and Transfer Restriction Agreement. Any attempt by a Member to assign its Company Interest in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be void ab initio. If an interest in a Unit or other Company Interest is required by law to be Transferred to a spouse of a holder thereof pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction in a divorce proceeding (notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE

IX(a)), then such holder shall nevertheless retain all rights with respect to such interest and any interest of such spouse shall be subject to such rights of such holder. In addition, if it is determined that the holder will be required to pay any taxes attributable to such interest of the spouse in the Company, then any tax liability of such holder that is attributable to such spouse’s interest shall be taken into account, and shall reduce such spouse’s interest in the Company; in no event shall the Company be required to provide any financial, valuation or other information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective assets to the spouse or former spouse of such holder.

(b) Unless an assignee of a Company Interest becomes a substituted Member in accordance with the provisions set forth below, such assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder, other than the right to receive allocations of income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and similar items and distributions to which the assignor would otherwise be entitled, to the extent such items are assigned.

(c) An assignee of a Company Interest shall become a substituted Member entitled to all of the rights of a Member if, and only if, (i) the assignor gives the assignee such right, (ii) the Board consents in writing to such substitution, the granting or denying of which shall be in the Board’s sole discretion, (iii) the assignee executes and delivers such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board, as the Board may deem necessary or desirable to effect such substitution and to confirm the agreement of the assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (iv) if the Board so requires, the assignee reimburses the Company for any costs incurred by the Company in connection with such assignment and substitution. Upon the satisfaction of such requirements, such assignee shall be admitted as of such date as shall be provided for in any document evidencing such assignment as a substituted Member of the Company.

(d) The Company and the Board shall be entitled to treat the record Member of any Company Interest as the absolute Member thereof in all respects and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such Member until such time as a written assignment of such Company Interest that complies with the terms of this Agreement has been received by the Board.

ARTICLE X

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a), but subject to amendments made pursuant to Section 3.2, with respect to any change, modification, or amendment to this Agreement that would (i) increase the liability or duties of any of the Members, (ii) change the contributions required of any of the Members, (iii) cause the Company to be taxed as a corporation, or (iv) otherwise result in any disproportionate and material adverse consequences for any Member, such change, modification, or amendment shall not be binding on such Member unless contained in a written instrument duly executed by such Member; provided, however, that any amendment which is made to facilitate a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, to convert the Company into another entity, or to cause the Company to participate in an exchange of interests or some type of business combination with any other entity, shall require the approval only of the Board and a Majority Interest of the Members, if each of the material terms

Section 11.3. Partition. Each of the Members hereby irrevocably waives for the term of the Company any right that such Member may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to the Company property.

Section 11.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby constitute the full and complete agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 11.5. Severability. Every provision in this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement.

Section 11.6. No Waiver.

No consent or waiver, express or implied, to or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder shall constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligation hereunder.

Section 11.7. Applicable Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to rules or principles of conflicts of law requiring the application of the law of another State.

Section 11.8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Member may Transfer all or any part of its rights or Company Interest or any interest under this Agreement except in accordance with ARTICLE IX.

Section 11.9. Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the Company, including claims sounding in contract, tort, statutory or otherwise (a “Dispute”), shall be settled exclusively and finally by arbitration in accordance with this Section 11.9.

(a) Rules and Procedures. Such arbitration shall be administered by JAMS/Endispute, Inc., a Delaware corporation and national dispute resolution company (“JAMS”), pursuant to (i) the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, if the amount in controversy is $250,000 or less, or (ii) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000 (each, as applicable, the “Rules”). The making, validity, construction, and interpretation of this Section 11.9, and all procedural aspects of the arbitration conducted pursuant hereto, shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). For purposes of this Section 11.9, “amount in controversy” means the stated amount of the claim, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, plus the stated amount of any counterclaim, not including interest or attorneys’ fees. If the claim or counterclaim seeks a form of relief other than damages, such as injunctive or declaratory relief, it shall be treated as if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, unless all parties to the Dispute otherwise agree.

(b) Discovery. Discovery shall be allowed only to the extent permitted by the Rules.

(c) Time and Place. All arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas or such other location as all parties to the Dispute may agree. Unless good cause is shown or all parties to the Dispute otherwise agree, the hearing on the merits shall be conducted within 180 days of the initiation of the arbitration, if the arbitration is being conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules, or within 270 days of the initiation of the arbitration, if the arbitration is being conducted under the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. However, it shall not be a basis to challenge the outcome or result of the arbitration proceeding that it was not conducted within the specified timeframe, nor shall the failure to conduct the hearing within the specified timeframe in any way waive the right to arbitration as provided for herein.

(d) Arbitrators.

(i) If the amount in controversy is $250,000 or less, the arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator selected by JAMS in accordance with the Rules.

(ii) If the amount in controversy is more than $250,000, the arbitration shall be before a panel of three arbitrators, selected in accordance with this paragraph. The party initiating the arbitration shall designate, with its initial filing, its choice of arbitrator. Within 30 days of the notice of initiation of the arbitration procedure, the opposing party to the Dispute shall select one arbitrator. If any party to the Dispute shall fail to select an arbitrator within the required time, JAMS shall appoint an arbitrator for that party. In the event that the Dispute involves three or more parties, JAMS shall determine the parties’ alignment pursuant to Rule 15 and each “side” shall have the right to appoint one arbitrator as provided above. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, failing agreement on which, the third arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with JAMS Rule 15. Notwithstanding that each party may select an arbitrator, all arbitrators (whether selected by the parties, JAMS or otherwise) shall be independent and shall disclose any relationship that he or she may have with any party to the Dispute at the time of their respective appointment. All arbitrators shall be subject to challenge for cause under JAMS Rule 15. In the event that any party-selected arbitrator is struck for cause, JAMS shall appoint the replacement arbitrator.

(e) Waiver of Certain Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Members expressly agree that the arbitrators shall have absolutely no authority to award consequential, incidental, special, treble, exemplary or punitive damages of any type under any circumstances regardless of whether such damages may be available under Delaware law, or any other laws, or under the Federal Arbitration Act or the Rules, unless such damages are a part of a third party claim for which a Member is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(f) Limitations on Arbitrators. The arbitrators shall have authority to interpret and apply the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to order any remedy allowed by this Agreement, including specific performance of the Agreement, but may not change any term or condition of this Agreement, deprive any Member of a remedy expressly provided hereunder, or provide any right or remedy that has been excluded hereunder.

(g) Form of Award. The arbitration award shall conform with the Rules, but also contain a certification by the arbitrators that, except as permitted by Section 11.9(e), the award does not include any consequential, incidental, special, treble, exemplary or punitive damages.

(h) Fees and Awards. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s) shall be borne equally by each side to the Dispute, but the decision of the arbitrator(s) may include such award of the arbitrators’ expenses and of other costs to the prevailing side as the arbitrators may determine. In addition, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its attorneys’ fees and interest.

(i) Binding Nature. The decision and award shall be binding upon all of the parties to the Dispute and final and nonappealable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and judgment thereon may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforced by any party to the Dispute as a final judgment of such court.

Section 11.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same document.
