For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction to be reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including, without limitation, any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose), provided that:

(i) All fees and other expenses incurred by the Company to promote the sale of (or to sell) any interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under section 709 of the Code, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, but treated as an item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are required and shall be allocated among the Members pursuant toSections 4.1 and4.2.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company and, as to those items described in section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes.

(iv) In accordance with the requirements of section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Company was equal to the Agreed Value of such property on the date it was acquired by the Company. Upon an adjustment pursuant toSection 3.4(d) or3.4(e) to the Carrying Value of any Company property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined (A) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment and (B) using a rate of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization derived from the same method and useful life (or, if applicable, the remaining useful life) as is applied for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that if the asset has a zero adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any reasonable method that the Company may adopt.

(c) Transferees. A transferee of all or a part of a Member’s Interest shall succeed to all or the transferred part of the Capital Account of the transferring Member.

Company property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such issuance and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant toSection 4.1.

(e) Distributed Unrealized Gains and Losses. In accordance with Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any distribution to a Member of any Company property (other than a distribution of cash or cash equivalents that are not in redemption or retirement of a Member’s Interest), the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Value of each Company property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized in a sale of such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value (which shall be determined by the Company using any valuation method it deems reasonable under the circumstances), and had been allocated to the Members at such time, pursuant toSection 4.1.

(f) Code Compliance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, each Member’s Capital Account shall be maintained and adjusted in accordance with the Code and the Regulations thereunder, including without limitation (i) the adjustments permitted or required by Code Section 704(b) and, to the extent applicable, the principles expressed in Code Section 704(c) and (ii) the adjustments required to maintain capital accounts in accordance with the “substantial economic effect test” set forth in the Regulations under Code Section 704(b).

In addition, with the consent of the other Members, any Member may lend funds to the Company for such purposes as are specified in writing to, and approved by, the other Members, including for purposes of funding capital expenditures or working capital;provided, however, that no Member may make such a loan as an alternative to any capital contribution required underSection 3.2. A loan account shall be established and maintained for such Member separate from such Member’s Capital Account and any loan made to the Company shall be credited to such loan account. Interest on all loans shall accrue at the Default Rate or at such other rate as may be approved by the Members and all advances to the Company from such loan account shall be repaid prior to any distributions to the Members pursuant toSection 4.3. A credit balance in

-12-

ARTICLE 4
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1Allocations for Capital Account Purposes. For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Members among themselves, the Company’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance withSection 3.4(b)) shall be allocated among the Members in each taxable year or portion thereof (an “allocation period”) as provided herein below.

(a) Net Income. All items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Income for such allocation period shall be allocated to each of the Members in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

(b) Net Losses. All items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Losses for such allocation period shall be allocated to each Member in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest;provided, however, that Net Losses shall not be allocated pursuant to thisSection 4.1(b) to the extent that such allocation would cause a Member to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such taxable year (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account).

(c) Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Regulation section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Company Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(d) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of thisSection 4.1, except as provided in Regulation section 1.704-2(f)(2) through (5), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable year, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Regulation sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and (g)(2) and section 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provisions. For purposes of thisSection 4.1(d), each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to thisSection 4.1 with respect to such taxable year (other than an allocation pursuant toSection 4.1(h) or(i)).

(e) Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 4.1 (other than Section 4.1(d), except as provided in Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(4)), if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable period, any Member with a share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Regulation sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of thisSection 4.1,

-13-

each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to thisSection 4.1, other thanSections 4.1(d),(h) and(i), with respect to such taxable period.

(f) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (6) (or any successor provisions), items of Company income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations promulgated under section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant toSection 4.1(d) or4.1(e).

(g) Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Company taxable period which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be specifically allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to thisSection 4.1(g) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided in thisSection 4.1 have been tentatively made as if thisSection 4.1(g) was not in the Agreement.

(h) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the Company determines in its good faith discretion that the Company’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations promulgated under section 704(b) of the Code, the Company is authorized, upon notice to the Members, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio which does satisfy such requirements.

(i) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be allocated 100% to the Member that bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulation section 1.704-2(i) (or any successor provision). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, such Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Members ratably in proportion to their respective shares of such Economic Risk of Loss.

(j) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members

-14-

in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.

4.2Allocations for Tax Purposes. The Members agree as follows:

(a) Allocations of Gain, Loss, etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction which is recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant toSection 4.1 hereof.

(b) Book-Tax Disparities. In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members as follows:

(i) In the case of a Contributed Property, (A) such items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Members in the manner provided under section 704(c) of the Code and section 1.704-3(d) of the Regulations (i.e. the “remedial method”) that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as is correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 4.1.

(ii) In the case of an Adjusted Property, (A) such items shall be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the principles of section 704(c) of the Code and section 1.704-3(d) of the Regulations (i.e. the “ remedial method”) to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant toSection 3.4(d) or(e), unless such property was originally a Contributed Property, in which case such items shall be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent withSection 4.2(b)(i); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant toSection 4.1.

(c) Conventions / Allocations. For the proper administration of the Company, the Company shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; and (ii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Regulations under section 704(b) or section 704(c) of the Code. The Company may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in thisSection 4.2(c) only if such conventions, allocations or amendments are consistent with the principles of section 704 of the Code.

(d) Section 743(b). The Company may determine to depreciate the portion of an adjustment under section 743(b) of the Code attributable to unrealized appreciation in any

-15-

Adjusted Property (to the extent of the unamortized Book-Tax Disparity) using a predetermined rate derived from the depreciation method and useful life applied to the Company’s common basis of such property, despite the inconsistency of such method with Regulation section 1.167(c)-1(a)(6), or any successor provisions. If the Company determines that such reporting position cannot reasonably be taken, the Company may adopt any reasonable depreciation convention that would not have a material adverse effect on the Members.

(e) Recapture Income. Any gain allocated to the Members upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Company asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to thisSection 4.2 be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and the same extent as such Members (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

(f) Section 754. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

Within thirty (30) days following the end of each Distribution Period, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Distribution Period shall, subject to Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act, be distributed in accordance with thisArticle 4 by the Company to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

-18-

“Liabilities”), arising out of or incidental to the business of the Company or such Company Indemnitee’s status as a Member, Management Committee representative or alternate of a Member or an officer of the Company;provided, however, that the Company shall not indemnify and hold harmless any Company Indemnitee for any Liabilities which are due to actual fraud or willful misconduct of such Company Indemnitee.

(a) Rights of Company Indemnitee. Reasonable expenses incurred by a Company Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to thisSection 6.1 shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Company Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such Company Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in thisSection 6.1. The indemnification provided by thisSection 6.1 shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company Indemnitee and his heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

6.2Indemnification by the Members.

Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnitee or a Member Indemnitee (either, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of any pending or threatened claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding or investigation made or instituted by a Person other than another Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Action”), such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made by such Indemnified Party against a Person providing indemnification pursuant toSections 6.1 or6.2 (“Indemnifying Party”), give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying party, at its own expense, may elect to assume the defense of any such Third Party Action through its own counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party (with full right of subrogation to the Indemnified Party’s rights and defenses). The Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Action and participate in the defense thereof; but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for the Indemnified Parties, and such fees shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties. All fees and expenses for any such separate counsel shall be paid periodically as incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Third Party Action effected without its consent unless the Indemnifying Party shall elect in writing not to assume the defense thereof or

-19-

fails to prosecute diligently such defense and fails after written notice from the Indemnified Party to promptly remedy the same, in which case, the Indemnified Party without waiving any rights to indemnification hereunder may defend such Third Party Action and enter into any good faith settlement thereof without the prior written consent from the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any such Third Party Action unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities that are the subject of such Third Party Action. The Members agree to cooperate in any defense or settlement of any such Third Party Action and to give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. The Members will similarly cooperate in the prosecution of any claim or lawsuit against any third party. If, after the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Action, it is determined pursuant to the Dispute Resolution procedures described inSection 12.11 that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification with respect thereto, the Indemnifying Party shall discontinue the defense thereof, and if any fees or expenses for separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party were paid by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for the full amount thereof.

6.4Limited Liability of Members. No Member shall be personally liable for any debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company; provided that each Member shall be responsible (i) for the making of any Capital Contribution required to be made to the Company by such Member pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) for the amount of any distribution made to such Member that must be returned to the Company pursuant to the Delaware Act.

(d) Effect of Prohibited Transfers. Any offer or purported transfer of a Member’s Interest in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be void.

8.2Possible Additional Restrictions on Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of (i) the enactment (or imminent enactment) of any legislation, (ii) the publication of any temporary or final Regulation, (iii) any ruling by the Internal Revenue Service or (iv) any judicial decision that in any such case, in the opinion of counsel, would result in the taxation of the Company for federal income tax purposes as a corporation or would otherwise subject the Company to being taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes, this Agreement shall be deemed to impose such restrictions on the transfer of a Member’s Interest as may be required, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, to prevent

-21-

the Company from being taxed as a corporation or otherwise being taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes, and the Members thereafter shall amend this Agreement as necessary or appropriate to impose such restrictions.

8.3Right of First Offer. The Members agree as follows:

(a) Initial Offer to Members. In the event that a Member (the “Selling Member”) desires to sell or otherwise transfer all or a portion of its Interest (the “Marketed Interest”) other than pursuant to an Internal Transfer, such Selling Member shall submit to each of the other Members (the “Non-Selling Members”) a good faith offer (a “Sale Offer”), which Sale Offer shall include a form of acquisition agreement that specifies the form and amount of consideration to be received and the other material terms on which the Selling Member proposes to sell the Marketed Interest. Upon receipt of a Sale Offer, a Non-Selling Member interested in purchasing all of such Marketed Interest shall deliver written notice (a “Purchase Notice”) to the Selling Member within 20 days of receipt of such Sale Offer (the “Notice Period”). Upon the expiration of such Notice Period, the Selling Member and any Non-Selling Members that timely delivered a Purchase Notice to the Selling Member shall have 45 days (the “Negotiation Period”) to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement pursuant to which such Non-Selling Member(s) will acquire the Marketed Interest. If the parties enter into a definitive agreement within such Negotiation Period, the Non-Selling Member shall acquire the Marketed Interest pursuant to the terms of such definitive agreement. The closing under any such definitive agreement may occur after the expiration of such Negotiation Period. If more the one Non-Selling Member delivers a Purchase Notice to the Selling Member, each such Non-Selling Member shall be entitled to acquire a pro rata portion of the Marketed Interest determined by dividing such Non-Selling Member’s Percentage Interest by the aggregate Percentage Interests of all of the Non-Selling Members that delivered a Purchase Notice.

(b) Negotiation with Third Party. If (i) no Non-Selling Member delivers a Purchase Notice to the Selling Member prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, (ii) the Non-Selling Member(s) and the Selling Member are unable to enter into a definitive agreement prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, or (iii) a definitive agreement is timely entered into but is subsequently terminated prior to closing, then the Selling Member shall have 120-days to market, offer, negotiate and consummate the sale the Marketed Interest to a third party;provided, however, the Selling Member may not consummate any such sale to a third party unless (i) the acquisition consideration to be paid by such third party is at least equal in value to the consideration set forth in the Sale Offer and (ii) the other terms and provisions of such sale are not materially more favorable to such third party than the terms and provisions contained in the Sale Offer. If the Selling Member is unable to consummate the sale of the Marketed Interest to a third party within the 120-day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, such Selling Member must make another Sale Offer to each of the Non-Selling Members, as provided inSection 8.3(a), and otherwise comply with the provisions of thisSection 8.3 in order to sell such Marketed Interest.

(c) Applicability of Transfer Restrictions. All transfers pursuant to thisSection 8.3 must comply with the restrictions on transfers set forth inSections 8.1 and8.2, except that a transfer to a third party after compliance with thisSection 8.3 shall not require the consent of the Non-Selling Members and the restriction inSection 8.1(b)(i) shall not apply.

-22-

8.4Substituted Members. As of the effectiveness of any transfer of an Interest permitted under this Agreement, (i) any transferee acquiring the Interest of a Member shall be deemed admitted as a substituted Member with respect to the Interest transferred, and (ii) such substituted Member shall be entitled to the rights and powers and subject to the restrictions and liabilities of the transferring Member with respect to the Interest so acquired. No purported transfer of an Interest in violation of the terms of this Agreement (including any transfer occurring by operation of Law) shall vest the purported transferee with any rights, powers or privileges hereunder, and no such purported transferee shall be deemed a Member hereunder for any purposes or have any right to vote or consent with respect to Company matters, to inspect Company records, to maintain derivative proceedings, to maintain any action for an accounting or to exercise any other rights of a Member hereunder or under the Delaware Act.

8.5Documentation; Validity of Transfer. No purported transfer of a Member’s Interest shall be effective as to the Company or the other Members unless and until the applicable provisions ofSections 8.1,8.2 and8.3 have been satisfied and such other Members have received a document in a form acceptable to such other Members executed by both the transferring Member (or its legal representative) and the transferee. Such document shall include: (i) the notice address of the transferee and such transferee’s express agreement to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to the Interest being transferred; (ii) the Interests of the transferring Member and the transferee after the transfer; and (iii) representations and warranties from both the transferring Member and the transferee that the transfer was made in accordance with all applicable Laws (including state and federal securities Laws) and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each transfer shall be effective against the Company and the other Members as of the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the Company’s receipt of the document required by thisSection 8.5, and the applicable requirements ofSections 8.1,8.2 and8.3 have been met.

8.6Covenant Not to Withdraw or Dissolve. Notwithstanding any provision of the Delaware Act, each Member hereby agrees that it has entered into this Agreement based on the expectation that all Members will continue as Members and carry out the duties and obligations undertaken by them hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly required or permitted hereby, each Member hereunder covenants and agrees not to (i) take any action to file a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent with respect to itself, (ii) take any action that would cause a Bankruptcy of such Member, (iii) cause or permit an interest in itself to be transferred such that, after the transfer, the Company would be considered to have terminated within the meaning of section 708 of the Code (provided that, each Member may transfer all or part of its Interest to a publicly traded partnership (or its subsidiaries) or an entity that may become a publicly traded partnership, even if such transfer, either considered alone or in the aggregate with prior transfers by the same Member or any other Members, would result in the termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes), (iv) withdraw or attempt to withdraw from the Company, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Delaware Act, (v) exercise any power under the Delaware Act to dissolve the Company, (vi) transfer all or any portion of its Interest, except as expressly provided herein, or (vii) demand a return of such Member’s contributions or profits (or a bond or other security for the return of such contributions or profits), in each case without the consent of the other Members.

(a) Suspension of Distributions in the case of Monetary Default. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no distribution shall be made to any Defaulting Member who is in Monetary Default pursuant toSection 9.1(c). So long as any Monetary Default is continuing, the Defaulting Member assigns to the Nondefaulting Members (in proportion to the Nondefaulting Members’ Percentage Interests) its right to receive any and all distributions under this Agreement and such distributions shall be paid to the Nondefaulting Members. The Defaulting Member shall also compensate the Nondefaulting Members for losses, damages, costs and expenses resulting directly or indirectly from such Monetary Default. If the Defaulting Member shall dispute whether an Event of Default has occurred, or the amount of the loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Nondefaulting Members as a consequence of a Monetary Default, the matter shall be submitted promptly to the dispute resolution procedure provided for inSection 12.11 hereof.

(ii) exercise any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, subject toSection 12.11.

-25-

10.2Liquidation. The Members agree as follows:

(a) Procedures. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Management Committee, or if there are no remaining Management Committee representatives, such Person as is designated by the Members (the remaining Management Committee or such Person being herein referred to as the “Liquidator”) shall proceed to wind up the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the terms hereof and the requirements of the Delaware Act. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the period of winding up in light of prevailing market conditions and so as to avoid undue loss in connection with any sale of Company assets. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up.

(b) Distributions. In connection with the winding up of the Company, the Company Assets or proceeds thereof shall be distributed as follows:

(i) To creditors, including Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by Law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (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 liabilities to Members and former Members under Sections 18-601 and 18-604 of the Delaware Act;

(ii) To Members and former Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions under Sections 18-601 and 18-604 of the Delaware Act; and

(iii) all remaining Company Assets shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(A) the Liquidator may sell any or all Company Assets, including to one or more of the Members (other than any Member in Default at the time of dissolution), and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with Article 4;

(B) with respect to all Company Assets that have not been sold, the fair market value of such Company Assets (as determined by the Liquidator using any method of valuation as it, using its best judgment, deems reasonable) shall be determined and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance withArticle 4 to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in such Company Assets that have not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable disposition of such Company Assets for their fair market value on the date of distribution;

(C) Company Assets shall be distributed among the Members ratably in proportion to each Member’s positive Capital Account balances, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (other than those made by reason of this clause (C)); and in each case, those distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year of the Company during which the

-26-

liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, 90 days after the date of the liquidation); and

(D) All distributions in kind to the Members shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for costs, expenses, and liabilities theretofore incurred or for which the Company has committed prior to the date of termination and those costs, expenses, and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributee pursuant to thisSection 10.2(b)(iii). The distribution of Company Assets to a Member in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 10.2(b)(iii) constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its Interest and all the Company Assets.

(c) Capital Account Deficits; Termination. To the extent that any Member has a deficit in its Capital Account, upon dissolution of the Company such deficit shall not be an asset of the Company and such Members shall not be obligated to contribute any amounts to the Company to bring the balance of such Member’s Capital Account to zero. Following the completion of the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of Company Assets, the Company shall be deemed terminated and the Liquidator shall file a certificate of cancellation in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Delaware Act.
