8.1 General.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Manager and Named Officer, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners, shareholders, assigns, representatives and agents (individually, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and other amounts paid in settlement, incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee, as a party or otherwise, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, arising out of or in connection with the business or the operation of the Company if the Indemnitee’s conduct (collectively, “Claims”):

(i) was not a breach of the Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or the Members,

(ii) did not involve acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, and

(iii) did not involve any transaction from which the Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit.

(b) An Indemnitee shall provide prompt notice to the Company of any pending or threatened Claims as to which indemnification may be sought under this Article 8 to permit the Company to timely assume the defense thereof and employ counsel in relation thereto.

(c) An Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action as to which indemnification may be sought under any provision of this Article 8 and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Company has failed to assume the defense thereof and employ counsel within a reasonable period of time after being given the notice required above or (iii) the Indemnitee has been advised by its counsel that representation of such Indemnitee and other parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with any one such 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 only one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnitees having actual or potential differing interests with the Company, unless but only to the extent the Indemnitees have actual or potential differing interests with each other.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 8.1(b), expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Article 8 shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company before 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 unless it is determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to this Article 8. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Article 8 merely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies, if the transaction was not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and the conduct of the Indemnitee satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a).

8.2 No Member Liability. Any indemnification provided under this Article 8 shall be satisfied solely out of assets of the Company, as an expense of the Company. No Member shall be subject to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.

8.3 Settlements. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnitee in any such action, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee to the extent provided above from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.

8.4 Amendments. Any amendment of this Article 8 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnitee who was serving at the time of such amendment or repeal, and such rights and protections shall survive such amendment or repeal with respect to events that occurred before such amendment or repeal.

The Company may treat any Person in whose name Units are recorded on Schedule A to this Agreement as the absolute owner of such Units.

(b) Subject to compliance with Section 9.4, if a Member transfers one or more Units to a Permitted Transferee, the Permitted Transferee shall become a Member without any further action on the part of the Company or the Members.

(c) If by operation of law or pursuant to the final decree of a competent court any Unit is transferred to any Person in violation of the restrictions on transfer imposed by this Article 9 and such transferee is not admitted as a Member pursuant to the terms of

this Agreement, such transferee shall be merely an assignee with the rights described in Section 18-702(b) of the Act. To the limited extent of the rights described in Section 18-702(b) of the Act, references in this Agreement to Members shall be extended, where relevant, to include assignees.

(i) The transfer will not cause the Company’s status as a partnership to terminate for federal income tax purposes under Code Section 708 or cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704;

(ii) The transfer is exempt from all applicable registration requirements and such transfer will not violate any applicable federal and state laws regulating the transfer of securities; and

(iii) The transfer will not cause the Company to be deemed to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

table at Exhibit E, that additional contributions to the capital of the Company are necessary to conduct the Company’s activities following the additional cash contributions contemplated to be made by TRER in accordance with Section 11.6 below, the Board of Managers shall first determine the total amount of additional funding reasonably needed by the Company at that time and each of the Members shall thereafter promptly make a cash contribution to the capital of the Company equal to that Member’s share (determined in proportion to the number of Units held by each Member) of such additional funds; provided, however, that the maximum cumulative amount of contributions to the capital of the Company that may be requested by the Board of Managers pursuant to this Section 11.3(a) from all Members, without the consent of all Members, in the aggregate is $1,000,000.

(b) Any requests for financing of the Company pursuant to Section 11.3(a) shall be made at the same time to the Members in writing following agreement by the Board of Managers on the terms of the funding (“Funding Notice”). The Funding Notice shall specify the total amount required for the Company, each Member’s proportional share thereof (which shall be on the same terms for all Members), and the date on which the funding is required (“Funding Date”). The Members shall make available to the Company any required funding in cash or readily available funds on the Funding Date.

(c) If a Member is unable to provide the funding on the Funding Date, the non-paying Member shall immediately inform the Board of Managers and the Board shall immediately inform all other Members.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not prohibit the Board of Managers from authorizing the Company to enter a transaction upon reasonably commercial terms by which a secured creditor, upon an event of default by the Company, could participate in the profits of operation or gross or net sales of the Company or in the gain on sale or refinancing of the Company, all as may be provided in its loan or security agreements.

Upon the receipt of any additional cash contribution from TRER upon reaching each Milestone, the Company shall automatically adjust the Units owned by TRER by amending Schedule A such that TRER owns a percentage ownership in the Units that is calculated as the cumulative amount of capital contributed to the Company to that point by TRER divided by $7.0 million multiplied by 0.499. TRER shall have no obligation to make any additional cash contributions to the Company pursuant to this Section if Phase 1 Milestones as set forth in the Business Plan are not met to TRER’s satisfaction.

Article 12

Allocation of Profits and Losses

12.1 Capital Account Allocations.

(a) The Profits or Losses of the Company shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members with respect to each Fiscal Year as of the end of such Fiscal Year in the proportion that the Units held by each Member bear to the Units held by all Members. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, every item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation of Profits or Losses shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as the allocation of Profits or Losses for that period.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 12.1(a), the Board of Managers shall not allocate any item of loss or deduction to a Member that would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account in excess of any limited dollar amount of such deficit balance that such Member is obligated to restore as of the end of any Fiscal Year, taking into account the amounts and adjustments set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4)-(6) and shall make special allocations of the Profits or Losses of the Company among the Members as necessary to cause the allocations under this Section 12.1 to be respected under Code Section 704(b) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(1). The Board of Managers shall, to the extent possible and in whatever manner it deems appropriate, make subsequent curative allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to offset any such special tax allocations.

(c) Allocations under this Section 12.1 are intended to meet the alternate test for economic effect under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and, with

respect to any allocations of nonrecourse deductions, are intended to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e). A “qualified income offset,” a “minimum gain chargeback,” each as defined in the Treasury Regulations, and any such other provision that is necessary to cause the allocations under this Section 12.1 to meet such test and requirements are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

(d) The Board of Managers’ determination of allocations shall be binding upon all parties.

12.2 Tax Allocations. The Board of Managers shall allocate the items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes among the Members in the same manner that such items are allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts.

12.4 Code Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c), income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for income tax purposes and its book value for Capital Account purposes, in the same manner as such variations are treated under Code Section 704(c). Any elections or other decisions related to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Managers in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 12.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

12.5 Varying Interests During Fiscal Year. If any changes in Units during a Fiscal Year, all Profits and Losses from operations of the Company during such Fiscal Year, using such methods of accounting for depreciation and other items as the Board of Managers determines to use for federal income tax purposes, shall be allocated to each Member based on its varying interest in the Company during such operating year in accordance with Code Section 706. The Board of Managers shall determine in accordance with Code Section 706 whether to prorate items of income and deduction according to the portion of the Fiscal Year for which a Member held Units or whether to close the books on an interim basis and divide such operating year into two or more segments.

(b) The amount distributed to the Members shall be determined by the Board of Managers using a good faith approximation of the Taxes on Pass-Through Income applicable to the Members.
