ARTICLE 3

MATTERS RELATING TO THE MEMBER

3.1 Membership Interests.

(a) Exhibit A reflects the Member’s ownership of 100% of the Membership Interests as of the Effective Time. Effective as of the Effective Time, the MLP is and shall be the sole Member of the Company.

(b) The rights to distributions with respect to the Membership Interests are set forth in Article 5. Notwithstanding any provision of the Delaware LLC Act, the Member shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by the Company, except to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary.

3.2 Liability to Third Parties; Duties and Obligations.

(a) Except as may be expressly provided in another separate, written guaranty or other agreement executed by the Member or as required by the Delaware LLC Act, the Member shall not be liable for the Liabilities of the Company, including under a judgment, decree or order of a court, solely by reason of being the Member of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Member does not have the authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the Company or to incur any expenditures on behalf of the Company.

(b) The Company and the Member agree that the rights, duties and obligations of the Member in its capacity as a member of the Company are only as set forth in this Agreement and, except to the extent this Agreement provides otherwise, under the Delaware LLC Act. Nothing herein is intended to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or other relationship creating fiduciary or quasi-fiduciary duties or similar duties and obligations or subject the Member to joint and several or vicarious liability or to impose any duty, obligation or liability that would arise therefrom with respect to the Company. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Member has any fiduciary duty to the Company or any other Person bound by this Agreement pursuant to this Agreement or the Delaware LLC Act, such duty is hereby eliminated pursuant to Section 18-1101(c) of the Delaware LLC Act; provided, however, that the foregoing does not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Furthermore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Member agrees that the existence of any rights of the Member, or the exercise or forbearance from exercise of any such rights, shall not create any duties or obligations of the Member in its capacity as a member of the Company, nor shall such rights be construed to enlarge or otherwise alter in any manner the duties and obligations of the Member.

(c) In addition to the powers and authorities expressly conferred on the Board by this Agreement, the Board may exercise all such powers of the Company and do all such acts and things as are not restricted by this Agreement, the Delaware LLC Act or Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 4

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

4.1 Capital Contributions.

(a) A predecessor to the MLP contributed capital to the Company in connection with its formation, as well as in connection with the MLP IPO. As of the Effective Time, the MLP is and shall be the sole Member of the Company. The Member shall not be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company.

(b) The amount of money and the fair market value (less the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by the Company or that are secured by any Property contributed by the Member to the Company) as of the date of contribution of any Property contributed to the Company by the Member in respect of the issuance of a Membership Interest to the Member shall constitute a “Capital Contribution.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Capital Contribution of the Member shall include a Capital Contribution of its predecessor(s) in interest.

4.2 Loans. If the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay its obligations, the Member may, with the consent of the Board, advance all or part of the needed funds for such obligation to or on behalf of the Company. An advance described in this Section 4.2 constitutes a loan from the Member to the Company, may bear interest at a rate not greater than the rate the Company could obtain from third parties, and is not a Capital Contribution.

4.3 Return of Contributions. The Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of its Capital Account or Capital Contributions. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or the Member. The Member will not be required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return the Member’s Capital Contributions.

ARTICLE 5

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

5.1 Distributions. All distributions shall be made to the Member at such times and from time to time as approved by the Board.

5.2 Disregarded Entity. Since the Company is wholly owned by one Member, it is an entity disregarded from its owner for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, all of the items of income, gain, loss and expense of the Company shall flow through to the Member.

ARTICLE 6

MANAGEMENT

6.1 Management.

(a) Management of the MLP. All management powers over the business and affairs of the Company, including the management and control of the MLP (in the Company’s

Each member of the Board of Directors (each, a “Director” and collectively, the “Directors”) shall constitute a “manager” of the Company within the meaning of the Delaware LLC Act. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Member, by virtue of having the status of a Member, shall not have or attempt to exercise or assert any management power over the business and affairs of the Company or shall have or attempt to exercise or assert actual or apparent authority to enter into contracts on behalf of, or otherwise bind, the Company. In addition to the powers that now or hereafter can be granted to managers under the Delaware LLC Act and to all other powers granted under any other provision of this Agreement, the Board shall have full power and authority to do, and to direct the Officers to do, all things on such terms as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company. The Officers shall be vested with such powers and duties as are set forth in this Article 6 and as are specified by the Board from time to time. Accordingly, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of the Board of Directors, and the day-to-day activities of the Company shall be conducted on the Company’s behalf by the Officers, who shall be agents of the Company.

(b) Additional Authority. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred on the Board by this Agreement, the Board may exercise all such powers of the Company and do all such acts and things as are not restricted by this Agreement, the MLP Agreement, the Delaware LLC Act or Applicable Law.

appoint Directors and any other rights afforded to such Limited Partner hereunder and under Section 13.13 of the MLP Agreement shall be solely in such Limited Partner’s capacity as a limited partner of the MLP, and no Limited Partner shall be liable for any debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company by reason of the foregoing.

6.5 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by Law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such person’s status as an Indemnitee; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.5, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be made only out of assets of the Company, it being agreed that the Member shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(i) To the fullest extent permitted by Law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 6.5(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time

to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.5.

(ii) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware LLC Act, pay or reimburse expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnitee’s appearance as a witness or other participation in a proceeding involving or affecting the Company at a time when the Indemnitee is not a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

(b) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.5 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee; provided that the indemnification provided by this Section 6.5 shall be, after any indemnification provided pursuant to the MLP Agreement, the primary source of indemnification with respect to the matters addressed herein, without regard to other potential sources of indemnification, reimbursement or contribution (subject to applicable express provisions of any insurance policy to which the Company is a party).

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

(d) For purposes of this Section 6.5, the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of such Indemnitee’s duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to Applicable Law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 6.5(a); and action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such Indemnitee’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

(e) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.5 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.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.5 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(g) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.5 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair either the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company or the obligation of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.5 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted, provided such Person became an Indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

(h) 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.

(i) THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6.5 ARE INTENDED TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF EXCULPATING THE INDEMNITEE FROM LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PERSON’S NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR OTHER CONDUCT.

6.6 Exculpation.

(a) Subject to Applicable Law, no Indemnitee shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company, the Member or any of their Affiliates for any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them (including any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts, including of legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters of accounting, or of investment bankers or appraisers as to matters of valuation), unless a court of competent jurisdiction has issued a final and non-applicable decision or judgment that such Indemnitee acted in bad faith or was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct or fraud or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with the knowledge that such Indemnitee’s conduct was criminal.

(b) An Indemnitee shall incur no liability in acting in good faith upon any signature or writing believed by such Indemnitee to be genuine, may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge, and may rely on an opinion of counsel selected by such Indemnitee with respect to legal matters. Each Indemnitee may act directly or through such Indemnitee’s agents or attorneys. Each Indemnitee may consult with counsel, appraisers, engineers, accountants and other skilled Persons selected by such Indemnitee, and shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith in reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons. No Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or the Member for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or employee of such Indemnitee or such

Indemnitee’s Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.6, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or the Member for any mistake of fact or judgment by such Indemnitee in conducting the affairs of the Company or otherwise acting in respect of and within the scope of this Agreement.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, no Indemnitee shall be liable for the return of the Capital Contributions or Capital Account of the Member, and such return shall be made solely from available assets of the Company, if any, and the Member hereby waives any and all claims that it may have against such Indemnitee in this regard.

(d) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expressly restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee. In causing the Company to make a determination or take or decline to take any action, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall act in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware LLC Act or any other law, rule or regulation, or in equity. In order for a determination or other action affecting the Company to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnitee must believe that the determination or other action is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership Group (as defined in the MLP Agreement).

(e) Subject to its obligations and duties as set forth in this Article 6, the Board of Directors and any committee thereof may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through the Company’s Officers or agents, and neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such Officer or agent appointed by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof in good faith.

(f) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on liability under this Section 6.6 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may be asserted.

6.7 Amendment and Vesting of Rights. The rights granted or created hereby will be vested in each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder as a bargained-for, contractual condition of such Person’s being or serving or having served as a Director, Officer or representative of the Company or serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise and, while this Article 6 may be amended or repealed, no such amendment or repeal will release, terminate or adversely affect the rights of such Person under this Article 6 with respect to any (a) act taken or the failure to take any act by such Person prior to such amendment or repeal or (b) action, suit or proceeding concerning such act or failure to act filed after such amendment or repeal.

6.8 Severability. If any provision of this Article 6 or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of this Article 6 and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby and, to the fullest extent possible, the court finding such provision invalid, illegal or unenforceable must modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all Persons and to give the maximum possible protection to Persons subject to indemnification hereby within the bounds of validity, legality and enforceability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Member, or any Director, Officer or representative of the Company or any Person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, is entitled under any provision of this Article 6 to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the judgments, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ fees, penalties, ERISA excise taxes, fines or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any such Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company will nevertheless indemnify such Person for the portion thereof to which such Person is entitled.

6.9 Other Business Ventures.

(a) The Member, or any Director or Officer shall have the right to engage in, or possess an interest in, other business ventures of every nature and description, independently or with others, whether or not similar or identical to the businesses engaged in or anticipated to be engaged in by the Company or the MLP, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the business and activities of the Company, the MLP or its Subsidiaries, and none of the same shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty expressed or implied by law or equity to the Company or its Subsidiaries or the Member. Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor the Member, or any Director or Officer will have any right by virtue of this Agreement in or to such other business ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the terms of any other agreement to which a party may be subject, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to the Member, or any Director or Officer. Neither the Member, nor any Director or Officer who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Company or its Subsidiaries shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Member, or such Director or Officer shall not be liable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that the Member, or such Director or Officer pursues or acquires for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, that the Member, or such Director or Officer does not engage in such business or activity as a result of or using confidential or proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries to such person.

(c) The foregoing will not supersede any employment, confidentiality, noncompetition or other specific agreement that may exist between the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company) and the Member (or an Affiliate of the Member) or Officer.

6.10 Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standard of Conduct and Modification of Duties. Any conflicts of interest among the Company, the MLP, the Member, the Directors, the Officers or any of their Affiliates shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.9 of the MLP Agreement.

(a) The Board of Directors shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Company or at such other location approved by the Board of Directors complete and accurate books and records of the Company, supporting documentation of the transactions with respect to the conduct of the Company’s business and minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors and any other books and records as may be necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Company.

ARTICLE 9

DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP AND TERMINATION

9.1 Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following events (each a “Dissolution Event”):

(i) the decision of the Board of Directors;

(ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Delaware LLC Act; and

(iii) at any time there is no Member of the Company, unless the Company is continued in accordance with the Delaware LLC Act or this Agreement.

(b) No other event shall cause a dissolution of the Company.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes there to be no Member of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of the Member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the Member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute Member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the Member in the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of the Member shall not cause the Member to cease to be a member of the Company and, upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.

9.2 Winding-Up and Termination.

(a) On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Board of Directors shall select one or more Persons to act as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware LLC Act. The costs of winding up shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Board of Directors. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(i) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final winding up, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last calendar day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final winding up is completed, as applicable;

(ii) the liquidator shall discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in winding up) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine);

(iii) the liquidator may sell any or all Company property (except cash), including to the Member; and

(iv) all remaining assets of the Company (including cash) shall be distributed to the Member.

(b) The distribution of cash or property to the Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its Membership Interest and its share of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which the Member has consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Delaware LLC Act. The Member shall not be required to make any Capital Contribution to the Company to enable the Company to make the distributions described in this Section 9.2.

(c) On completion of such final distribution, the liquidator shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. Upon the filing of such certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall terminate (and the Term shall end), except as may be otherwise provided by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 10

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Notices. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered to the recipient in person, by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid or mail or by facsimile or other electronic transmission and a notice, request or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the Person to receive it; provided, however, that a facsimile or other electronic transmission that is transmitted after the normal business hours of the recipient shall be deemed effective on the next Business Day. All notices, requests and consents to be sent to the Member must be sent to or made at the addresses set forth on Exhibit A, or to such other address given for the Member as the Member may specify by notice to the Company. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Applicable Law, the Organizational Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

10.2 Entire Agreement; Superseding Effect. Effective as of the Effective Time (but not for any period prior to the Effective Time), this Agreement together with Exhibits hereto, shall constitute the entire agreement of the Member relating to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to such subject matter, whether oral or written.

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