The amounts so allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be distributed to DuPont no later than five (5) business days following the end of the quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining DuPont’s Capital Account, the foregoing distribution shall be deemed to have been made at the time the special allocation was made pursuant to this Section 3.3(bb). The Members hereby acknowledge and agree that the clauses of this Section 3.3(bb) shall also apply to any other loans from DuPont to the Company, unless the Members otherwise agree.

(cc) No Allocations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no allocations shall be made to the Capital Accounts of DuPont or Central Soya for any amounts contributed or distributed to DuPont or Central Soya, as the case may be, as a result of Section 3.03 of the Central Soya Contribution Agreement or Section 3.03 of the DuPont Indemnity Agreement, as the case may be.

(dd) To the extent any allocation made under this section 3.3 may be more properly classified for income tax purposes as having occurred at the Member level, the characterization of such allocation as an item of “income”, “expense”, or “loss” of the Company shall not necessarily control the characterization of such item for income tax purposes.

3.4 Curative Allocations.

The allocations set forth in Sections 3.3(a) through (g) and 3.5 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 3.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Board of Managers shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3(h).

3.5 Loss Limitation.

Losses allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Allocation Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 3.5 shall be applied on a Member by Member basis and Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such Member’s Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations.

3.6 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily basis pro-rata to Allocation Year pursuant to Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(b) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 3 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a) (3), the Members’ interests in Company profits are in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h) (3) of the Regulations, the Managers shall endeavor to treat distributions of Net Cash Flow as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member.

3.7 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).

The Members will work together in good faith to eliminate, to the extent reasonably possible, any adverse impact to both Members for allocations under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder on an agreed-to net present value, and, to the extent practical, on a year-over-year basis. The Members in good faith mutually will make these allocation determinations by August 1, 2003. If the Members are unable to agree to these allocations by August 1, 2003, each Member will appoint two (2) representatives who will meet by August 15, 2003, with appropriate representatives, to finalize any unresolved determinations relating to Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.7 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 Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations to the Members, and to pay over to any federal, state and local government or any foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state or local law or any foreign law, and shall allocate any such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld.

5.7 Members Liability.

No Member shall be liable under a judgment, decree, or order of a court, or in any other manner for the Debts or any other obligations or liabilities of the Company.

5.9 Confidentiality.

Except as contemplated hereby or required by a court of competent authority, so long as the Company remains in existence and for a period of five (5) years following any termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the Company, each Member shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to others and shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent its Affiliates and any of its, or its Affiliates’, present or former employees, agents, and

representatives from disclosing to others without the prior written consent of the Members any confidential information which (i) pertains to this Agreement or the Related Agreements, any negotiations pertaining hereto or thereto, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the Business, or (ii) pertains to confidential or proprietary information of any Member or the Company. No Member shall use, and each Member shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent any Affiliate of such Member from using, any information which (i) pertains to this Agreement or the Related Agreements, any negotiations pertaining hereto or thereto, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the Business, or (ii) pertains to the confidential or proprietary information of any Member or the Company, except in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Related Agreements.

Information which (i) is available, or becomes available, to the public through no fault or action by such Member, its agents, representatives or employees, (ii) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from any source other than the Company, any other Member, or such Persons’ agents, representatives or employees and such source is not prohibited from disclosing such information, or (iii) is already known to the receiving party before receipt from the other party as evidenced by the receiving party’s written records, shall not be deemed confidential information.

A Member, any Affiliate thereof or any employee, stockholder, agent, director or officer of any Member or any Affiliate thereof, may also be an employee or be retained as an agent of the Company. The existence of these relationships and acting in such capacities will not result in a Member being deemed to be participating in the control of the business of the Company or otherwise affect the limited liability of such Member.

5.11 Other Instruments.

Each Member hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company within five (5) days after receipt of a written request therefor, such other and further reasonable documents and instruments, statements of interest and holdings, designations, powers of attorney and other instruments and to take such other action as the Board of Managers deems necessary, useful or appropriate to comply with any laws, rules or regulations as may be necessary to enable the Company to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement.

(b) The number of Managers on the Board of Managers shall be four (4) unless otherwise provided herein. DuPont and Central Soya, by signing this Agreement, hereby appoint the Persons identified on Exhibit B hereto as the Managers of the Company until their successors are appointed, each such Manager being deemed appointed by the Member set forth opposite the name of such Manager.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, during the Initial Period and the Grace Period, each of DuPont and Central Soya shall have the right to appoint one-half (1/2) of the Managers to serve on the Board of Managers. DuPont and Central Soya shall appoint Managers, other than the Managers identified on Exhibit B as provided in Section 6.1(b) above, by delivering to the Company a written statement appointing their Manager or Managers and setting forth such Manager’s or Managers’ business address and telephone number. Each of DuPont and Central Soya shall have the right to appoint one (1) non-voting advisor to the Board of Managers (the “Advisor”), with the consent of the other Members. In no event shall an Advisor be considered or deemed to be a “Manager” (as that term is used in this Agreement) and the Advisors shall not have any right to vote on, consent to or otherwise approve any activity or policy of the Company or any activity or policy taken or adopted by the Members or the Board of Managers with respect to the Company.

Any vacancy on the Board of Managers created as a result of a reduction in Central Soya’s Percentage Interest pursuant to this Section 6.1(h) shall be filled by a Manager appointed by DuPont.

(i) In performing his or her duties as a Manager, each Manager shall have a fiduciary duty to act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Such fiduciary duties shall include, but not be limited to, the duty to safekeep all of the Property of the Company and to use the same for the exclusive benefit of the Company generally, and to otherwise act in good faith with respect to the Company generally, which shall be construed to prohibit a Manager from acting in any manner intentionally or specifically directed at harming the Company. In performing his or her duties as a Manager, the fiduciary duties of each Manager to a Member or the Members (whether existing by statute, in equity, at common law or otherwise) are hereby restricted and modified to the fullest extent permitted by law to consist of the duty to safekeep all of the Property of the Company and to use the same for the benefit of the Company and to otherwise act in good faith with respect to the Company generally, which shall be construed to mean and to permit acting in any manner and considering or not considering any interests or factors in connection with any transaction or matter whatsoever as such Manager desires with no duty to consider the interests of any Member so long as such Manager acts in a manner that he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company and does not act in a manner intentionally or specifically directed solely at harming a Member. A Manager of the Company who performs his/her duties in accordance with this Section 6.1(i) shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been a Manager of the Company. A Manager does not, in any way, guarantee the return of the Members’ Capital Contributions or a Profit for the Members from the operations of the Company.

(j) The Board of Managers shall have the power to create committees of the Board of Managers with such powers and authority as shall be delegated to such committees by the Board of Managers, provided that no such delegation shall prevent the Board of Managers from acting with respect to delegated matters. In addition, the Board of Managers shall have the power to delegate authority to such officers, employees, agents, and representatives of the Company as it may from time to time deem appropriate and any action taken by such Persons or Persons must be approved in the same manner as would be required for the Board of Managers to approve such action directly.

If the Board of Managers receives written notice from a Member prior to any modification of the Accounting Policies that such modification as proposed would have a material adverse effect on such Member, the Board of Managers shall reconsider such proposed modification in light of such material adverse effect;

(v) To approve from time to time the location of the Company’s headquarters;

(vi) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.3, to approve any changes to the name of the Company or any names under which it shall do business;

Upon the occurrence of a Deadlock, the Chairman shall have the power and right in his or her sole and absolute discretion to resolve the Deadlock by approving or disapproving the Deadlock Matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Deadlock shall exist when an express unanimous consent of the Board of Managers is required hereunder or under the Related Agreements.

The Board of Managers shall determine the powers and duties of the Chief Financial Officer; provided, however, that the powers and duties of the Chief Financial Officer shall be substantially consistent with those powers and duties of similarly situated Persons that are customary to the industry in which the Company operates.

(iv) If, after the Initial Period, the Business is not operating within eighty percent (80%) of the Company’s business plan with respect to the Company’s operating income and return on investment (as those terms are defined in the business plan), the Board of Managers shall remove and replace the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer unless the Board of Managers unanimously agrees to retain such Officers. Upon the removal of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Board of Managers shall search for successors to such Officers and may, in its discretion, engage the services of a search firm to assist with its search efforts.

The search for such successors shall not be limited to employees of DuPont, Central Soya, or their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that DuPont, Central Soya and their respective Affiliates may nominate and recommend to the Board of Managers candidates to replace such removed Officers.

(b) At all meetings of the Board of Managers, the presence of at least one Manager appointed by Central Soya and one Manager appointed by DuPont shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.1(k)(i) hereof), the Board of Managers shall act by the majority vote of the Managers at any meeting at which a quorum is present. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Managers, the Managers present thereat may adjourn and reschedule the meeting to a date no earlier than five (5) days thereafter with notice in accordance with Section 6.2(c). At the rescheduled meeting, the Managers present thereat shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

Each such notice shall state (i) the time, date, place (which shall be at the principal office of the Company unless otherwise agreed to by all Managers) or other means of conducting such meeting and (ii) the purpose of the meeting to be so held. No actions other than those specified in the notice may be considered at any special meeting unless unanimously approved by the Managers.

(d) Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Managers, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Board of Managers, may be taken at a meeting held by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

Section 11: Transfers.

11.1 Restrictions on Transfers.

Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest. For the avoidance of any doubt, no Member may pledge or otherwise encumber all or any part of its Membership Interest as security for the payment of a Debt except with the unanimous consent of the Members. During the Initial Period, no Member shall Transfer its Membership Interest to any Person without the prior written consent of the Members; provided, however, that, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in Sections 11.3

and 11.4 hereof, such consent shall not be required in connection with a Member’s Transfer of its Membership Interest to one or more of its Affiliates, provided that in the case of Central Soya such Affiliate must also be an Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇ Limited.

11.2 Permitted Transfers.

Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in Sections 11.3 and 11.4 hereof, a Member may, after the Initial Period, Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest to (a) any other Member or Affiliate of another Member, (b) any Affiliate of the transferor; provided, however, that if the transferor is Central Soya, such Affiliate must also be an Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇ Limited, (c) the transferor’s administrator or trustee to whom such Membership Interest is transferred involuntarily by operation of law, or (d) any Purchaser in accordance with Section 11.4 hereof, without the consent of the Members (any such Transfer being referred to in this Agreement as a “Permitted Transfer”). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, at no time shall any Member Transfer its Membership Interest to one or more of the Persons listed in Exhibit D (or the Affiliates of such listed Persons) attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Prohibited Transferees”) without the prior written consent of all of the Members.

11.3 Conditions to Permitted Transfers.

A Transfer of a Membership Interest shall not be treated as a Permitted Transfer under Section 11.2 hereof unless and until the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) Except in the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor and transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to the Company to effect such Transfer. In the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest involuntarily by operation of law, such Transfer shall be confirmed by presentation to the Company of legal evidence of such Transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the Company. In all cases, the Company shall be reimbursed by the transferor and/or transferee for all costs and expenses that it reasonably incurs in connection with a Transfer of a Membership Interest.

(b) The transferor and transferee shall furnish the Company with the transferee’s taxpayer identification number, sufficient information to determine the transferee’s initial tax basis in the Membership Interest transferred, and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any transferred Membership Interest until it has received such information.

(c) Except in the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest involuntarily by operation of law, either (i) a transferred Membership Interest shall be registered under the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) the transferor shall

provide an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers, to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from all applicable registration requirements and that such Transfer will not violate any applicable laws regulating the Transfer of securities.

(d) Except in the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor shall provide an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers, to the effect that such Transfer will not cause the Company to be deemed to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

11.4 Right of First Offer; Certain Transfers; Buy-Out Interest and Change of Control.

In addition to the other limitations and restrictions set forth in this Section 11, except as permitted by Section 11.2 hereof, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest (the “Offered Membership Interest”) unless such Member (the “Seller”) first offers to sell the Offered Membership Interest pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.4.

(a) Offer Notice. Prior to making any Transfer of a Membership Interest that is subject to the terms of this Section 11.4, the Seller shall give to the Company and each other Member written notice of such proposed Transfer (the “Offer Notice”), which notice shall include an offer (the “Firm Offer”) to sell the Offered Membership Interest to the other Members (the “Offerees”) for a purchase price equal to the purchase price (the “Offer Price”) offered by or to a prospective purchaser (the “Purchaser”) with respect to the Offered Membership Interest, upon the same terms as (or more favorable terms than) those offered by or to the Purchaser; provided that the Firm Offer shall be made without regard to the requirement of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money or similar deposit required of the Purchaser prior to closing, and without regard to any security (other than the Offered Membership Interest) to be provided by the Purchaser for any deferred portion of the Offer Price.

(b) Offer Period. The Firm Offer shall be irrevocable for a period (the “Offer Period”) ending at 11:59 P.M., local time at the Company’s principal place of business, on the ninetieth (90^th) day following the day of the Offer Notice.

(c) Acceptance of First Offer. At any time during the Offer Period, any Offeree may accept the Firm Offer as to all or any portion of the Offered Membership Interest, by giving written notice of such acceptance to the Seller and each other Offeree, which notice shall indicate the maximum portion of the Offered Membership Interest that such Offeree is willing to purchase. In the event that Offerees (“Accepting Offerees”), in the aggregate, accept the Firm Offer during the Offer Period with respect to all of the Offered Membership Interest, the Firm Offer shall be deemed to be accepted and each Accepting Offeree shall be deemed to have accepted the Firm Offer as to that portion of the Offered Membership Interest agreed to by the Accepting Offerees or, without such agreement, such portion of the Offered Membership Interest that corresponds to the product of each Accepting Offeree’s Percentage Interest multiplied by the Offered Membership Interest; provided, however, that for purposes of this

Section 11.4(c), the term “Percentage Interest” shall be calculated without reference to or inclusion of the Capital Account of the Seller. If the Offerees, in the aggregate, do not accept the Firm Offer as to all of the Offered Membership Interest during the Offer Period, the Firm Offer shall be deemed to be rejected in its entirety.

(d) Closing of Purchase Pursuant to Firm Offer. In the event that the Firm Offer is accepted, the closing of the sale of the Offered Membership Interest shall take place within thirty (30) days after the Firm Offer is accepted. The Seller and all Accepting Offerees shall execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the Offered Membership Interest pursuant to the terms of the Firm Offer and this Section 11.

(e) Sale If Firm Offer Rejected. If the Firm Offer is not accepted during the Offer Period in the manner hereinabove provided, the Seller may sell the Offered Membership Interest to the Purchaser at any time within sixty (60) days after the last day of the Offer Period; provided that such sale shall be made on terms no more favorable to the Purchaser than those contained in the Firm Offer; and provided further that such sale complies with the other terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Agreement. In the event that the Offered Membership Interest is not sold in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Offered Membership Interest shall again become subject to all of the conditions and restrictions of this Section 11.

(f) Certain Transfers. In the event a Member (a “Transferring Member”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest to a Purchaser (other than an Affiliate of such Member) and the other Members (the “Non-Transferring Members”) do not exercise their right to purchase such Membership Interest as provided for above in this Section 11.4, the Non-Transferring Members shall notify the Transferring Member within the Offer Period of their election to Transfer or not to Transfer all or any portion of their Membership Interests to such Purchaser (“Election Notice”). If the Non-Transferring Members so elect to Transfer all or any portion of their Membership Interests, then the Transferring Member and the Non-Transferring Members shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to sell the sum of the Percentage Interests of the Transferring Member and the Non-Transferring Members desired to be sold by the Transferring Member and the Non-Transferring Members to such Purchaser. If, despite using their commercially reasonable best efforts, the Transferring Member and the Non-Transferring Members are unable to sell such sum to such Purchaser, the Transferring Member and the Non-Transferring Members shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Members, use their commercially reasonable best efforts to sell all of the Membership Interests of the Company as provided in Section 11.4(h) below. If Central Soya, as a Non-Transferring Member, elects not to Transfer any portion of its Membership Interest and the Transferring Member has actually sold the proposed portion of its Membership Interest (plus or minus ten percent (10%) of the proposed portion of its Membership Interest) as provided in this Section 11.4(f), Central Soya shall not exercise its right to make a Purchase Request as provided in Section 11.4(g) below for a period of three (3) years from that date of the Election Notice.

(g) Buy-Out Interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.4(f) above, if, following the Initial Period, Central Soya elects to sell its entire Membership Interest

and Central Soya is unable, despite using its commercially reasonable best efforts, to sell all of its Membership Interest (the “Buy-Out Interest”) to a Purchaser, Central Soya may, on each December 31st following the Initial Period, request that any current Member purchase the Buy-Out Interest (the “Purchase Request”); provided that such Member’s then-current Percentage Interest (including the Percentage Interest of Affiliates of such Member) is at least forty-five percent (45%) (such Member being hereinafter referred to as the “Buy-Out Member”). Following a Buy-Out Member’s receipt of the Purchase Request, the Buy-Out Member and Central Soya shall negotiate in good faith for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the Purchase Request to enter into a written purchase agreement for such purchase, which purchase agreement shall allow the Buy-Out Member to defer the closing of such purchase for up to one (1) year following the execution of such agreement.

(h) Forced Sale. If the Buy-Out Member and Central Soya are unable to agree upon a purchase price for the Buy-Out Interest within the time period set forth in Section 11.4(g) above or if the Buy-Out Member elects not to purchase the Buy-Out Interest at any price or if the Transferring Member and the Non-Transferring Members are unable to sell the sum of Percentage Interests to a Purchaser as provided in Section 11.4(f) above, and unless otherwise agreed to by the Buy-Out Member and the holder of the Buy-Out Interest, the Members shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to sell all of the Membership Interests of the Company and shall work together in good faith for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days for the sale of such Membership Interests (the “Forced Sale Period”). If, during the Forced Sale Period, any Member receives a bona-fide offer from a Purchaser (other than a Prohibited Transferee) for the purchase of all of the Membership Interests of the Company (the “Forced Sale Offer”), the Members shall either (i) sell all of the Membership Interests pursuant to the Forced Sale Offer or (ii) the Member(s) unwilling to sell its Membership Interest pursuant to the Forced Sale Offer shall offer to purchase the Membership Interest of the Member(s) willing to sell its Membership Interest pursuant to the Forced Sale Offer at a price equal to the price offered in the Forced Sale Offer times the then-current Percentage Interest of such willing Member(s). If, during the Forced Sale Period, the Members are unable to sell all of the Membership Interests to a Purchaser or no Member(s) receives a Forced Sale Offer, then the Members shall cease efforts to sell such Membership Interests until such time as the procedures set forth in Section 11.4(f) or Section 11.4(g) above are recommenced; provided, however, that Central Soya shall not recommence the procedures set forth in Section 11.4(g) above prior to December 31^st of the next succeeding year.

(i) Change of Control. Upon the Change of Control of a Member (the “Change of Control Member”), the other Members shall have the right to purchase the Change of Control Member’s Membership Interest for an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Interest, and thus increase their Percentage Interests as a result of such purchase; provided that such Members notify the Change of Control Member of their desire to so acquire the Change of Control Member’s Interest within sixty (60) days of such Members becoming actually aware of such Change of Control; and provided further that the Members shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to consummate such acquisition within one hundred eighty (180) days of such Members becoming actually aware of the such Change of Control.

11.5 Prohibited Transfers.

Any purported Transfer of a Membership Interest that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever; provided that, if the Company is required by law to recognize a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer, the Membership Interest transferred shall be strictly limited to the transferor’s rights to allocations and distributions as provided by this Agreement with respect to the transferred Membership Interest, which allocations and distributions may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company) to satisfy any debts, obligations, or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee of such Interest may have to the Company.

In the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer of a Membership Interest that is not a Permitted Transfer, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all cost, liability, and damage that any of such indemnified Persons may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liabilities, lawyers’ fees and expenses) as a result of such Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.

11.6 Rights of Unadmitted Assignees.

A Person who acquires a Membership Interest but who is not admitted as a substituted Member pursuant to Section 11.7 hereof shall be entitled only to allocations and distributions with respect to such Membership Interest in accordance with this Agreement, and shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Company, and shall not have any of the rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement.

11.7 Admission of Substituted Members.

Subject to the other provisions of this Section 11, a transferee of a Membership Interest may be admitted to the Company as a substituted Member only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 11.7:

(a) The Membership Interest with respect to which the transferee is being admitted was acquired by means of a Permitted Transfer and such Transfer is not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement;

(b) The transferee of the Membership Interest (other than, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) below, a transferee that was a Member prior to the Transfer) shall, by written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers (and, in the case of clause (iii) and (iv) below, the transferor Member), (i) make representations and warranties to each non-transferring Member equivalent to those set forth in Section 8, (ii) accept and adopt the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 11, (iii) accept the provisions of the Related Agreements and any other transaction contemplated by or referenced in Section 1.10(c), (iv) assume the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Membership Interest and (v) accept, adopt and become a party to the Covenant Not to Compete. The transferor Member shall be released from all such assumed

obligations except (A) those obligations or liabilities of the transferor Member arising out of a breach of this Agreement, (B) in the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest to any Person other than a Member or any of its Wholly Owned Affiliates, those obligations or liabilities of the transferor Member based on events occurring, arising or maturing prior to the date of such Transfer, and (C) in the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest to any of its Wholly Owned Affiliates, any Capital Contribution or other financing obligation of the transferor Member under this Agreement;

(c) The transferee pays or reimburses the Company for all reasonable legal, filing, and publication costs that the Company incurs in connection with the admission of the transferee as a Member with respect to the transferred Membership Interest; and

(d) Except in the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest involuntarily by operation of law, if required by the Board of Managers, the transferee (other than a transferee that was a Member immediately prior to such Transfer) shall deliver to the Company evidence of the authority of such Person to become a Member and to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the transferee and transferor shall each execute and deliver such other instruments as the Board of Managers reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to effect, and as a condition to, such Transfer, including amendments to the Certificate or any other instrument filed with the State of Delaware or any other state or governmental authority.

11.8 Representations Regarding Transfers; Legend.

(a) Each Member hereby represents, covenants and agrees with the Company for the benefit of the Company and all Members, that (i) it is not currently making a market in Membership Interests and will not in the future make a market in Membership Interests, (ii) it will not Transfer its Membership Interest on an established securities market, a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b) (and any Regulations, proposed Regulations, revenue rulings, or other official pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service or Treasury Department that may be promulgated or published thereunder), and (iii) in the event such Regulations, revenue rulings, or other pronouncements treat any or all arrangements which facilitate the selling of Company interests and which are commonly referred to as “matching services” as being a secondary market or substantial equivalent thereof, it will not Transfer any Membership Interest through a matching service that is not approved in advance by the Company. Each Member further agrees that it will not Transfer any Membership Interest to any Person unless such Person agrees to be bound by this Section 11.8(a) and to Transfer such Membership Interest only to Persons who agree to be similarly bound.

(b) Each Member hereby represents and warrants to the Company and the Members that such Member’s acquisition of a Membership Interest hereunder is made principally for such Member’s own account and not for resale or distribution of such Membership Interest. Each Member further hereby agrees that the following legend may be placed upon any counterpart of this Agreement, the Certificate, or any other document or

instrument evidencing ownership of a Membership Interest, in the event the Board of Managers determines to cause Membership Interests to be certificated:

The Company Membership Interest represented by this document has not been registered under any securities laws and the transferability of such Membership Interest is restricted. Such Membership Interest may not be sold, assigned, or transferred, nor will any assignee, vendee, transferee, or endorsee thereof be recognized as having acquired any such Membership Interest by the issuer for any purposes, unless (1) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such Membership Interest shall then be in effect and such transfer has been qualified under all applicable state securities laws, or (2) the availability of an exemption from such registration and qualification shall be established to the satisfaction of counsel to the Company.

The Membership Interest represented by this document is subject to further restriction as to its sale, transfer, hypothecation, or assignment as set forth in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company and agreed to by each Member. Said restriction generally provides, among other things, that no Membership Interest may be transferred without first offering to transfer such Membership Interest to the other Members.

11.9 Distributions and Allocations in Respect of Transferred Membership Interest.

If any Membership Interest is transferred during any Allocation Year in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11, Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the transferred Membership Interest for such Allocation Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying Percentage Interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Board of Managers. All distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee. Solely for purposes of making such allocations and distributions, the Company shall recognize such Transfer not later than the end of the calendar month during which it is given notice of such Transfer, provided that, if the Company is given notice of a Transfer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Transfer, the Company shall recognize such Transfer as of the date of such Transfer, and provided further that if the Company does not receive a notice stating the date such Membership Interest was transferred and such other information as the Board of Managers may reasonably require within

thirty (30) days after the end of the Allocation Year during which the Transfer occurs, then all such items shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Person who, according to the books and records of the Company, was the owner of the Membership Interest on the last day of such Allocation Year. Neither the Company nor any Manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company, nor any Member, shall incur any liability for making allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.9, whether or not such Person has knowledge of any Transfer of ownership of any Membership Interest.

11.10 DuPont Transfers; Certain Rights.

Subject to the other provisions of this Section 11, in the event DuPont Transfers (i) all of its Membership Interests to a substituted Member or (ii) a portion of its Membership Interests to a substituted Member and as a result of such Transfer such substituted Percentage Interest shall be in excess of forty-five percent (45%), such substituted Member shall have the right to exercise all of DuPont’s rights as provided in this Agreement. In the event DuPont transfers a portion of its Membership Interests to a substituted Member and, as a result of such transfer, DuPont’s and its Affiliates’ Percentage Interest falls below forty-five percent (45%) and such substituted Member’s Percentage Interest is less than forty-five percent (45%), (i) the number of Managers on the Board of Managers shall increase to five (5), or such higher odd number as the Members may agree (the “Restructured Board”), and each Member shall be entitled to appoint the number of Managers equal to such Member’s then-current Percentage Interest times the total number of Managers to constitute the Restructured Board, rounded to the nearest whole number, (ii) the Managers of the Restructured Board shall select the Chairman of the Restructured Board by a majority vote and the power of the Chairman to resolve a Deadlock shall be terminated and (iii) the Restructured Board shall select the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by a majority vote.

Section 12: Dissolution And Winding Up

12.1 Dissolution Events.

(a) Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve and shall commence winding up and liquidating upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Dissolution Event”):

(i) The unanimous consent of the Members to dissolve, wind up, and liquidate the Company;

(ii) A judicial determination that an event has occurred that makes it unlawful, impossible or impractical to carry on the Business; or

(iii) At any time there are no Members.

The Members hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Act, the Company shall not dissolve prior to the occurrence of a Dissolution Event.

(b) Reconstitution. If it is determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Company has dissolved prior to the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, then within an additional ninety (90) days after such determination (the “Reconstitution Period”), the Members may elect to reconstitute the Company and continue its business on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by forming a new limited liability company on terms identical to those set forth in this Agreement. Unless such an election is made within the Reconstitution Period, the Company shall liquidate and wind up its affairs in accordance with Section 12.2 hereof. If such an election is made within the Reconstitution Period, then:

(i) The reconstituted limited liability company shall continue until the occurrence of a Dissolution Event as provided in Section 12.1(a);

(ii) Unless otherwise agreed to by a majority of the Members, the Certificate and this Agreement shall automatically constitute the Certificate and Agreement of such new limited liability company. All of the assets and liabilities of the dissolved Company shall be deemed to have been automatically assigned, assumed, conveyed, and transferred to the new limited liability company. No bond, collateral, assumption or release of any Member’s or the Company’s liabilities shall be required; provided that the right of the Members to select successor Managers and to reconstitute and continue the Business shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel that the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Member and neither the Company nor the reconstituted limited liability company would cease to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of such right to continue.

12.2 Winding Up.

Upon the occurrence of (i) a Dissolution Event or (ii) the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Company has dissolved prior to the occurrence of a Dissolution Event (unless the Company is reconstituted pursuant to Section 12.1(b) hereof), the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members, and no Member shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs, provided that all covenants contained in this Agreement and obligations provided for in this Agreement shall continue to be fully binding upon the Members until such time as the Property has been distributed pursuant to this Section 12.2 and the Certificate of Cancellation has been filed in accordance with this Agreement and the Act. The Liquidator shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company, which winding up and dissolution shall be completed as promptly as possible following the occurrence of the Dissolution Event or the last day on which the Company may be reconstituted pursuant to Section 12.1(b) hereof. The Liquidator shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and Property and shall cause the Property or the proceeds from the sale thereof (as determined pursuant to Section 12.9 hereof), to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in the following order:

(a) First, to creditors (including Members and Managers who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law) in satisfaction of all of the Company’s Debts and other liabilities (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 for distribution to members under Section 18-601 or 18-604 of the Act;

(b) Second, except as provided in this Agreement, to Members and former Members of the Company in satisfaction of liabilities for distribution under Sections 18-601 or 18-604 of the Act; and

(c) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with the positive balance in their Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon the dissolution and winding up of the Company, (i) if the “Solae” trademark has not been transferred to the Company in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, the License Agreement and any sublicenses thereunder shall terminate or (ii) if the “Solae” trademark has been transferred to the Company in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, the Company shall transfer and distribute all right, title and interest in and to the name “Solae” to DuPont and neither Central Soya nor any other Member shall have the right to use the name “Solae” or any name confusingly similar thereto; provided, however, that in either case, DuPont shall not use the name “Solae” in any soy ingredients business (other than in connection with the use of the name “Solae” by the 8^th Continent Joint Venture; provided that such name is not used by the 8^th Continent Joint Venture in the Business) for a period of one (1) year following such dissolution and winding up. No Member or Manager shall receive additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Section 12, unless such Member or Manager is appointed by the Board of Managers to serve as Liquidator pursuant to Section 12.9.

12.3 Compliance with Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts.

In the event the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (2) (ii) (g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Section 12 to the Members who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b) (2) (ii) (b) (2). If any Member has a deficit balance in his Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Allocation Years, including the Allocation Year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Section 12 may be:

(a) Distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company. The assets of any

such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof, or

(b) Withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company; provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Members as soon as practicable.

12.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12, in the event the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Dissolution Event has occurred, the Property shall not be liquidated, the Company’s Debts and other liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for federal income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have distributed the Property in-kind to the Members, who shall be deemed to have taken subject to all Debts of the Company and other liabilities all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. Immediately thereafter, the Members shall be deemed to have recontributed the Property in-kind to the Company, which shall be deemed to have taken subject to all such liabilities.

12.5 Rights of Members.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Member shall look solely to the Property of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution and has no right or power to demand or receive Property other than cash from the Company. If the assets of the Company remaining after payment or discharge of the debts or liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contribution, the Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member or Manager.

12.6 Notice of Dissolution/Termination.

(a) In the event a Dissolution Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for the provisions of Section 12.1, result in a dissolution of the Company, the Board of Managers shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Members and to all other parties with whom the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the Board of Managers) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the Board of Managers).

(b) Upon completion of the distribution of the Company’s Property as provided in this Section 12, the Company shall be terminated, and the Liquidator shall cause the filing of the Certificate of Cancellation pursuant to Section 18-203 of the Act and shall take all such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

12.7 Allocations during Period of Liquidation.

During the period commencing on the first day of the Fiscal Year during which a Dissolution Event occurs and ending on the date on which all of the assets of the Company have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof (the “Liquidation Period”), the Members shall continue to share Profits, Losses, gain, loss and other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in the manner provided in Section 3 hereof.

12.8 Character of Liquidating Distributions.

All payments made in liquidation of the interest of a Member in the Company shall be made in exchange for the interest of such Member in Property pursuant to Section 736(b)(1) of the Code, including the interest of such Member in Company goodwill.

12.9 The Liquidator.

(a) Definition. The “Liquidator” shall mean a Person or Persons appointed by the Board of Managers to oversee the liquidation of the Company. If the Board of Managers does not appoint a Liquidator within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Board of Managers shall be the Liquidator.

(b) Fees. The Company is authorized to pay a reasonable fee to the Liquidator (if the Liquidator is not a Member, an Affiliate of a Member or the Board of Managers) for its services performed pursuant to this Section 12 and to reimburse the Liquidator for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in performing those services.

(c) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify, save harmless, and pay all judgments and claims against the Liquidator or any officers, directors, agents or employees of the Liquidator relating to any liability or damage incurred by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Liquidator, or any officers, directors, agents or employees of the Liquidator in connection with the liquidation of the Company, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Liquidator, officer, director, agent or employee in connection with the defense of any action based on any such act or omission, which attorneys’ fees may be paid as incurred, except to the extent such liability or damage is caused by the fraud, intentional misconduct of, or a knowing violation of the laws by the Liquidator which was material to the cause of action.

12.10 Form of Liquidating Distributions.

For purposes of making distributions required by Section 12.2 hereof, the Liquidator may determine whether to distribute all or any portion of the Property in-kind or to sell all or any portion of the Property and distribute the proceeds therefrom; provided, however, that all right, title and interest in and to the name “Solae” shall be distributed to DuPont in accordance with Section 12.2 hereof.

Section 13: Miscellaneous

13.2 Notices.

Any notice, payment, demand, or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been delivered, given, and received for all purposes (i) if delivered personally to the Person or to an officer of the Person to whom the same is directed, or (ii) when the same is actually received, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service or by registered or certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, or by facsimile, if such facsimile is followed by a hard copy of the facsimile communication sent promptly thereafter by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service or by registered or certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, addressed as follows, or to such other address as such Person may from time to time specify by notice to the Members and Managers:

13.5 Time.

In computing any period of time pursuant to this Agreement, the day of the act, event or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included, but the time shall begin to run on the next succeeding day.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all of the Members had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement.

13.13 Specific Performance.

Each Member agrees with the other Members that the other Members would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which the nonbreaching Members may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, the nonbreaching Members shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and specifically to enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having subject matter jurisdiction thereof.
