        and the affiliates of any Member (each an "Indemnified Person") against
        any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities
        (including, but not limited to, any investigation, legal

                                      - 9 -

        and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with, and any
        amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit, proceeding or claim) of
        any kind or nature whatsoever that such Indemnified Person may at any
        time become subject to or liable for by reason of the formation,
        operation or termination of the Company, or the Indemnified Person's
        acting as a Member under this Agreement, or the authorized actions of
        such Indemnified Person in connection with the conduct of the affairs of
        the Company (including, without limitation, indemnification against
        negligence, gross negligence or breach of duty). The indemnities
        provided hereunder shall survive termination of the Company and this
        Agreement. Costs and expenses that are subject to indemnification
        hereunder shall, at the request of any Indemnified Person, be advanced
        by the Company to or on behalf of such Indemnified Person prior to final
        resolution of a matter, so long as such Indemnified Person shall have
        provided the Company with a written undertaking to reimburse the Company
        for all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that the
        Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

               (c)    The contract rights to indemnification and to the
        advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 7.6 shall not be
        exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter
        acquire under any statute, agreement, vote of the Members or otherwise.

               (d)    The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
        protect itself and any Member, employee or agent of the Company or
        another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint
        venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or
        loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such
        person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware Act.

               (e)    The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to
        time by the Members, grant rights to indemnification and to advancement
        of expenses to any officer, employee or agent of the Company to the
        fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 7.6 with respect to the
        indemnification and advancement of expenses of Members of the Company.

               (f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
        7.6, the Company shall indemnify an Indemnified Person in connection
        with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnified Person
        only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Members;
        provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall be entitled to
        reimbursement of his or her reasonable counsel fees with respect to a
        proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnified Person to
        enforce his or her right to indemnity or advancement of expenses under
        the provisions of this Section 7.6 to the extent the Indemnified Person
        is successful on the merits in such proceeding (or part thereof).

                                   TERMINATION

        8.1    EVENTS OF DISSOLUTION.

                                     - 10 -
<Page>

               (a)    In accordance with Section 18-801 of the Act, the Company
        shall be dissolved and the affairs of the Company wound up upon (i) a
        determination of the sole Member to dissolve the Company; or (ii) entry
        of a judicial decree of dissolution.

               (b)    Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day
        on which a determination of the sole Member to dissolve the Company
        occurs or the day on which a judicial decree of dissolution is entered,
        but the Company shall not terminate until the assets of the Company
        shall have been distributed as provided herein and a certificate of
        cancellation of the Company has been filed with the Secretary of State
        of Delaware.

        8.2    APPLICATION OF ASSETS. In the event of dissolution, the Company
shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs
(including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the
assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of
priority, set forth in SECTION 6.2.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        9.1    NOTICES.

               (a)    Any and all notices, consents, offers, elections and other
        communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be
        deemed adequately given only if in writing and the same shall be
        delivered either in hand or by Federal Express or similar expedited
        commercial carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, postage
        prepaid and registered, or with all freight charges prepaid (if by
        Federal Express or similar carrier).

               (b)    All notices, demands and requests to be sent hereunder
        shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement
        upon the date of receipt or refusal.

               (c)    All such notices, demands and requests shall be addressed
        to the address set forth on SCHEDULE A hereto or to such other United
        States address as the Member may have designated for itself by written
        notice to the Company in the manner herein prescribed, except that
        notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

        9.2    WORD MEANINGS. The words such as "herein", "hereinafter", "hereof
and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a
subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.
The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the
feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.

        9.3    BINDING PROVISIONS. The covenants and agreements contained herein
shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives or successors and assigns, as the case
may be, of the party hereto.

        9.4    APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. In the event of a conflict
between any provision of this Agreement and any non-mandatory provision of the
Act, the provision of this Agreement shall control and

                                     - 11 -
<Page>

take precedence.

        9.5    SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Agreement
shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions
herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing
or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair
the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid,
enforceable and legal.

        9.6    COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original of this Agreement.

        9.7    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding of the sole Member and the Company with respect to the
transactions contemplated herein and supersedes all prior understandings or
agreements in respect of such transactions.

        9.8    AMENDMENTS. This Agreement shall not be amended except with the
prior written consent of the sole Member. Any consent may be given subject to
satisfaction of conditions stated therein.

        9.9    INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. The sole Member understands that its
Company Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), on the grounds that its acquisition of such
Company Interest is exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not
involving a public offering.

        9.10   TAX PRINCIPLES. For so long as the Company is owned by a sole
Member, it shall be treated as a disregarded entity for Federal and state income
tax purposes pursuant to Sections 301.7701-2 and 301.7701-3 of the Treasury
Regulations and corresponding provisions of state law. Upon the admission to the
Company of more than one Member, the Company shall be treated as having become,
in the manner prescribed by Sections 301.7701-2 and 301.7701-3 of the Treasury
Regulations and Internal Revenue Service Revenue Rulings 99-5 and 99-6, a
partnership for Federal and state income tax purposes pursuant to Sections
301.7701-2 and 301.7701-3 of the Treasury Regulations and corresponding
provisions of state law, and this Agreement will be amended accordingly to
reflect the same.
