ARTICLE 2
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
Section 2.1 Capital Contributions. Each Member hereby makes the
Capital Contributions to the Company in cash as set forth on Schedule A annexed
hereto (the "Initial Capital Contributions") pursuant to the terms of a
Subscription Agreement between the Company and such Member in consideration for
their respective Interests. Following the Initial Capital Contributions, the
Interests of the Members shall be fully paid and non-assessable, and the
ownership of the Interests by each Member as represented by their respective
Percentage Interests shall be as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto. The
Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, require the Members to make
additional Capital Contributions, pro rata based upon their Percentage Interests
in order to further the Purpose and to allow the Company to pay the Company
Expenses. Schedule A shall be amended from time to time to reflect appropriately
any additional Capital Contributions that may be made in exchange for Interests
in the Company or changes as otherwise provided in Article 7 hereto. No Member
shall be required to make any additional Capital Contribution except as set
forth herein and in the Subscription Agreement.
Section 2.2 Maintenance of Capital Accounts. A separate capital
account (a "Capital Account") shall be established and maintained for each
Member. The balance of each member's Capital Account shall be calculated as
follows: (a) by crediting the Capital Account of such Member for any capital
contribution (including the Initial Capital Contribution) made by such Member;
(b) by crediting or debiting, as the case may be, the Capital Account of such
Member for that Member's share of the Company's profits and losses, as
determined under Article 3, during the immediately preceding Accounting Period;
(c) by debiting the Capital Account of such Member by the amount of any
distributions made to such Member pursuant to Section 4.1; and (d) by
adjustments made in accordance with the other Capital Account maintenance rules
of section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 2.2 and
the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of capital
accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b),
and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury
Regulations.
Section 2.3 Withdrawals or Loans. A Member shall not be entitled to
withdraw any part of its Capital Account or to receive any distributions from
the Company except as provided in Articles 4 and 9; nor shall a Member be
entitled to make any loan to the Company other than as expressly provided herein
or in the Subscription Agreement. No loan made to the Company by any Member
shall constitute a Capital Contribution to the Company for any purpose.
ARTICLE 3
ALLOCATIONS
Section 3.1 Allocations. The profits and losses of the Company for
each Accounting Period shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests.
Section 3.2 Certain Tax Matters. For U.S. federal, state and local
income tax purposes, the income, gains, losses and deductions realized by the
Company shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items
affected the Members' Capital Accounts. The foregoing allocation is intended to
comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall
be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury
Regulations. The Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, make the election
provided for in Section 754 of the Code.
ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1 Distributions. Subject to Article 9, which shall govern
distributions upon the dissolution of the Company, distributions shall be made
in cash or in kind at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the
Managing Member; provided, however, that upon the receipt of any cash proceeds
by the Company in respect of the Company's ownership of the NAL Membership Units
the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of such receipt, distribute such
proceeds to the Members in a manner consistent with the following sentence;
provided, further, that the Managing Member may in its sole discretion cause the
Company to retain a portion of any such cash distribution to set aside a
reasonably appropriate Company reserve for expenses and contingent liabilities.
Such distributions shall be made to Members in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests at the time of distribution. Any gain or loss on the
in-kind distributions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the
provisions of Article 3 hereof and shall be credited or charged to the Capital
Accounts of such Members accordingly. The amount so credited or charged to the
Members' Capital Accounts for in-kind distributions shall be the fair market
value (as determined in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member) of the
property so distributed.
Section 4.2 Withholding. Any distribution to a Member pursuant to
Section 4.1 or Article 9 shall be deemed to include any applicable tax deducted
or withheld or otherwise payable with respect to such Member, including, in the
event that the Member receives a distribution from or in respect of which tax
has been withheld, the portion of such tax that is attributable to such Member's
Interest in the Company, and each Member hereby authorizes the Company to
withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any such taxes. If and to the extent
that the Company shall be required to pay any such taxes in respect of any
Member, and such Member is not concurrently entitled to a cash distribution from
the Company, the Company shall notify such Member as to the amount of such tax
and such Member shall make a prompt payment to the Company of
such amount. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any such
withholding requirement with respect to any Member exceeds the amount
distributable to such Member under applicable provisions of this Agreement or if
any such withholding requirement was not satisfied with respect to any amount
previously allocated, paid or distributed to such Member, such Member and any
successor or assignee with respect to such Member's Membership Units hereby
indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the other Members and the Company for
such excess amount or such withholding requirement, as the case may be.
Section 4.3 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, distributions shall be made only to
the extent of Available Assets and in compliance with the Act.
ARTICLE 5
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS;
RESTRICTIONS ON MEMBERS
Section 5.1 Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the
Act or herein, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether
arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations
and liabilities of the Company, and the Members shall not be obligated
personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by
reason of being a member of the Company.
Section 5.2 Other Business; Compensation, Etc. The Members and their
Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of
every kind and description, independently or with others. None of the Company or
other Members shall have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the
income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement. To the extent that, at
law or in equity, any Affiliate of a Member or any director, officer,
stockholder, employee, agent or representative of a Member or such Affiliate has
duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities to the Company or to the
Members, no such Person shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for its
good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this
Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict the duties and liabilities
of any such Person otherwise existing at law or in equity (including fiduciary
duties), are agreed by the Members to replace fully and completely such other
duties and liabilities of such Person.
Section 5.3 No Management Fee, Carried Interest or Promotion Fee.
The Members shall not be charged any management fee, carried interest or
promotion fee by any of the Company or the Managing Member with respect to the
investment in the Company by the Members.
ARTICLE 6
MANAGING MEMBER; INVESTMENTS; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 Identity of the Managing Member. The Managing Member
shall be Affirmative Associates LLC ("Affirmative Associates").
Section 6.2 Powers and Authority of Managing Member. The management
of the Company and its assets shall be vested exclusively in the Managing Member
and the Non-Managing Members shall not have the power, authority or right to
bind the Company. The Managing Member need not own an economic interest in the
Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managing Member
shall have the exclusive right to exercise any of the Company's voting, sale or
other rights arising in connection with the NAL Membership Units or, if
applicable, the Affirmative Common Stock. The Managing Member shall devote such
time to the business and affairs of the Company as is necessary for the
performance of its duties, but in any event, shall not be required to devote
full time to the performance of such duties and may delegate its duties and
responsibilities as provided herein. The Managing Member shall have the right to
appoint officers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company
and such officers shall serve at the discretion of the Managing Member.
Section 6.3 Exculpation and Indemnification.
(a) The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by
law the Managing Member from and against all costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements, claims and
other liabilities ("Claims") incurred by or imposed upon the Managing Member in
connection with, or resulting from, investigating, preparing or defending any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative, legislative or otherwise (or any appeal therein), to which the
Managing Member may be made a party or become otherwise involved or with which
the Managing Member may be threatened, in each case by reason of, or in
connection with, the Managing Member's being or having been associated with the
Company or by reason of any action or alleged action, omission or alleged
omission by the Managing Member in any such capacity, to the extent that the
Managing Member is not adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
engaged in willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence.
(b) The personal liability of the Managing Member is hereby
eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the same may be
amended and supplemented. The Managing Member shall not be personally liable to
the Company or its Members for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
(which has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) as the Managing
Member, except as to liability to the extent such exemption from liability or
limitation thereof is not permitted under the Act, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended. If the Act hereafter is amended to further eliminate or
limit the liability of the Managing Member, then the Managing Member, in
addition to the circumstances in which the Managing Member is not personally
liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall not be liable to the
fullest extent permitted by the Act. In furtherance of, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Managing Member shall not be (i) personally
liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company, including any
such debts, obligations or liabilities arising under a judgment, decree or order
of a court; (ii) obligated to cure any deficit in any Capital Account; (iii)
required to return all or any portion of any Capital Contribution; or (iv)
required to lend any funds to the Company. Any repeal or modification of this
Section 6.3(b) by the Members shall not adversely affect any right or protection
of the Managing Member existing at the time of such repeal or modification with
respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall pay
the expenses incurred by the Managing Member in investigating, preparing or
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, in advance of the
final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Managing Member to repay such amount if there is an adjudication or
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to
indemnification as provided herein.
(d) None of the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to
create or grant any rights in favor of any third party, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation in favor of any insurer or surety. The
rights of indemnification granted hereunder shall survive the dissolution,
winding up and termination of the Company.
Section 6.4 Replacement of Managing Member. So long as The Enstar
Group, Inc. ("Enstar") is a Non-Managing Member, Affirmative Associates LLC,
including the managing member thereof (who, as of the date hereof, is J.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇), shall not be replaced or substituted as the Managing
Member (either directly or indirectly, including by Transfer of the interests in
such Managing Member), other than by an Affiliate of J. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
without the prior written consent of Enstar (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) (any such replacement or substitution in violation of this Section
6.4, a "Prohibited Replacement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Prohibited
Replacement shall not be deemed to have occurred in the event that, following a
Key Man Event, the limited partners of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ I LP ("JCF I") require the
removal of the general partner of the Flowers Fund (the "Existing GP") and
appoint a successor general partner (the "Successor GP"), in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership
Agreement of JCF I (as amended from time to time, the "JCF I Agreement"), then
the Managing Member shall transfer its interest as managing member of the
Company to the Successor GP (or an affiliate thereof) at substantially the same
time as the Existing GP transfers its interest as general partner of JCF I to
the Successor GP (a "Successor GP Replacement").
ARTICLE 7
NO TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS; RESIGNATIONS; ADDITIONAL MEMBERS
Section 7.1 Transfer of any Member's Interest; Additional Members.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1(c) hereof, no Member
may Transfer all or any portion of its Interest or any rights therein, except
(x) with the prior written consent of the Managing Member, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (y) to an Affiliate of such Member, or
(z) to another Member (collectively with any transferee pursuant to clauses (x),
and (y), a "Permitted Transferee").
(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.1(a) above and subject to Section
7.1(c) below, in the event that JCF I proposes to Transfer all or a portion of
its Interests to a third party transferee that is not an Affiliate, such that as
a result of such transfer JCF I (or an Affiliate thereof) would, as a result
thereof, no longer beneficially own a majority Interest in the Company (a "JCF I
Transfer"), then (i) JCF I shall promptly notify Enstar of such JCF I Transfer
and (ii) such Transfer shall require the consent of Enstar (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless in connection with such JCF I
Transfer, Enstar is given the option to Transfer all or a portion of its
Interest to such third party transferee upon the same terms and conditions,
including price, pro rata in accordance with its Proportionate Percentage;
provided, that in the event that Enstar elects to participate in any such JCF I
Transfer (A) it shall notify JCF I within 10 business days of the delivery of
notice of such JCF I Transfer pursuant to clause (i) above that it elects to
participate in such JCF I Transfer and the Interest that it proposes to include
in such JCF I Transfers and (B) Enstar shall bear its pro rata share of the
costs and expenses incurred by JCF I in connection with such JCF I Transfer.
(c) JCF I or a Permitted Transferee thereof (so long as such
Permitted Transferee beneficially owns over 70% of the Interests in the Company)
may, at its option, in connection with the Transfer of all but not less than all
of its Interests in the Company, to a third party transferee (which is not an
Affiliate of such member), cause each of the other Members to sell (and each of
the other Members shall agree to sell), in connection with such transfer, all
but not less than all of their Interests in the Company upon the same terms and
conditions, including price, as JCF I. Any costs and expenses incurred by the
Members in connection with such Transfer shall be deemed Company Expenses.
(d) No Permitted Transferee or New Member (as defined below) may be
admitted as a Member unless such Permitted Transferee or New Member first
executes a counterpart of the signature page of this Agreement and any other
agreements, documents or instruments reasonably specified by the Managing
Member, and any transferring Member shall continue to be bound by its
obligations hereunder unless and until such transferee Affiliate executes and
delivers a written assumption of such obligations to the Company. Upon obtaining
such consent and upon the execution of such signature page and such other
agreements, documents and instruments, such
Permitted Transferee or New Member shall have all of the rights and powers and
shall be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member hereunder and
the Managing Member shall thereupon have the authority to amend Schedule A to
reflect such additional Member and such Member's Interest, or in the case of a
transfer to an existing Member, the additional Interest of such Member. Any
purported sale, assignment, pledge or other transfer made in violation of this
Agreement shall be null and void.
(e) Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(b) and 7.1(d)
hereof, new Members ("New Members") shall be admitted, and Interests shall be
issued, only upon the prior written consent of the Managing Member which consent
shall be in the sole discretion of such Managing Member; provided, however, that
in the event that any such New Member is to be admitted, or Interests are to be
issued, in each case, after the Closing Date, each existing Member shall first
be given the opportunity (including reasonable advance notice) to purchase (on
the same terms and at the same price as those being offered to such potential
New Member or such potential purchaser of Interests) such additional Interests
as may be necessary in order to permit each such existing Member to maintain its
Percentage Interest of the Company.
Section 7.2 Resignations. No Member may resign from the Company
prior to the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Article 9; provided,
however, that a Non-Managing Member who transfers 100% of its Interest in
accordance with Section 7.1 may resign if its transferee expressly assumes all
of such Member's obligations hereunder pursuant to an instrument satisfactory to
the Managing Member.
Section 7.3 Additional Members. Neither the Company nor the Managing
Member may admit any additional Members to the Company except as provided in
Section 7.1.
ARTICLE 8
BOOKS; ACCOUNTING; TAX ELECTIONS; REPORTS
Section 8.1 Books and Records. The Managing Member shall keep, or
cause to be kept, complete and accurate books and records of account of the
Company. The Managing Member shall maintain at the principal business office of
the Company a current list of the full name and last known business address of
each Member, set forth in alphabetical order, a copy of the Certificate,
including all certificates of amendment thereto, copies of the Company's U.S.
federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three
most recent years, copies of this Agreement and of any financial statements of

(a) The Managing Member shall cause to be prepared and transmitted
to each Member such financial information with respect to the Company as the
Managing Member shall determine appropriate or as required by law.
(b) Each Member shall have the right, at all reasonable times but in
any event only during usual business hours and upon reasonable written notice
specifying the purpose of such investigation, to audit, examine and make copies
of or extracts from the information and records of the Company described in
Section 18-305(a) of the Act for any purpose reasonably related to its Interest,
provided, however, that the Managing Member shall have the right to withhold any
such information pursuant to Section 18-305(c) of the Act. Such right may be
exercised through any agent or employee of such Member designated by him or by a
certified public accountant designated by such Member. A Member shall bear all
expenses incurred in any investigation made for such Member's account pursuant
to this Section 8.2 or Section 18-305 of the Act.
(c) Upon request of any Member (the "Requesting Member"), the
Managing Member shall use its best efforts to furnish or cause to be furnished
to the Members all unaudited quarterly and audited annual financial statements
with respect to the Company and New Affirmative LLC, each prepared in accordance
with GAAP, within a reasonable period of time, in light of the circumstances,
prior to the filing deadline required by the Securities and Exchange Commission
for accelerated filers. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
Company and/or the Managing Member in connection with the preparation and
delivery of such financial statement shall be borne by the Requesting Member
(and shall not be deemed Company Expenses); provided, that, in connection with
the preparation of the financial statements of New Affirmative LLC (including,
without limitation, any audit thereof) the Managing Member shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the cost and expense thereof,
including by causing (to the extent reasonably practicable) Affirmative
Insurance Holdings, Inc. to prepare such financial statements.
Section 8.3 Filings of Returns and Other Writings; Tax Matters
Partner. (a) The taxable year for the Company shall be December 31. The Managing
Member shall cause the preparation and timely filing of all Company tax returns
and shall, on behalf of the Company, timely file all other filings required by
any governmental authority having jurisdiction to require such filings. Upon the
request of any Member, the Managing Member will furnish it with copies of all
U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns or information returns that the
Company has filed for such taxable year and such additional information as is
necessary for the preparation of such Member's tax returns. The Members agree
that the Managing Member shall cause the Company to file its tax returns as a
partnership for federal, state and local income and other tax purposes.
Accordingly, the Managing Member shall not permit the Company to elect and the
Company shall not elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation
for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes under Treasury Regulation
Section 301.7701-3(a) or any corresponding provision of state or local law. The
Managing Member shall prepare and furnish K-1's to the Members in accordance
with applicable legal requirements.
(b) The "tax matters partner", as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of
the Code, and any similar provision of any state law, shall be the Managing
Member.
(b) Promptly following the written request of the tax matters
partner, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse
and indemnify the tax matters partner for all reasonable expenses, including
reasonable legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages
incurred by the tax matters partner in connection with any administrative or
judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability or items of the Company
except for any liability incurred by such tax matters partner by reason of its
gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
(c) The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the termination
of the Company or the termination of any Member's Interest in the Company and
shall remain binding on the Members for as long a period of time as is necessary
to resolve with the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority any and
all U.S. federal, state and local tax matters of the Company.
ARTICLE 9
