“Valuation Price” shall mean, with respect to any Units that are the subject of a valuation for purposes of this Agreement, the fair market value of such Units, determined jointly by the Company and the Transferor; provided that if they are unable to reach agreement on such value within ten (10) Business Days following the relevant date of determination of such fair market value, such value shall be determined by an independent qualified appraiser selected by the Transferor and the Company within ten (10) Business Days thereafter; the determination of fair market value by such appraiser shall be final and binding on the Company and the Transferor, and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be paid by the Company. If the Transferor and the Company cannot agree upon a single appraiser, such fair market value shall be equal to the average of two appraisals (one made by an independent qualified appraiser selected and paid for by the Transferor and one by an independent qualified appraiser selected and paid for by the Company); however, if the two appraisals differ from each other by more than ten percent (10%) of the lower appraisal, either the Company or the Transferor may, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of both appraisals, direct the two appraisers to select a third independent qualified appraiser (the cost of whom shall be shared one-half by Company and one-half by Transferor), in which case the fair market value shall be the appraisal by such third appraiser. All appraisers shall be experienced in valuing businesses similar to those engaged in by the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company. The determination of fair market value of such Units should consider discounts for lack of marketability or liquidity, restrictions on Transfer, minority interests or lack of voting power, except that no such discounts shall be considered if the Transferor is selling Class B Units pursuant to Section 12.2 as a result of a Termination Event.

1.2 Rules of Construction. The following provisions shall be applied wherever appropriate herein:

(a) terms defined in Section 1.1 have the meanings assigned to them in that Section for purposes of this Agreement;

(b) “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto” and other equivalent words shall refer to this Agreement as an entirety and not solely to the particular portion of this Agreement in which any such word is used;

(d) all definitions set forth herein shall be deemed applicable whether the words defined are used herein in the singular or the plural;

(e) unless otherwise expressly provided, any term defined herein by reference to any other document shall be deemed to be amended herein to the extent that such term is subsequently amended in such document;

(f) references herein to other documents and agreements shall mean such documents and agreements as amended and restated from time to time;

(g) wherever used herein, any pronoun or pronouns shall be deemed to include both the singular and plural and to cover all genders;

(h) neither this Agreement nor any other agreement, document or instrument referred to herein or executed and delivered in connection herewith shall be construed against any Person as the principal draftsperson hereof or thereof;

(i) the section headings appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such Section, or in any way affect this Agreement; and

(j) any references herein to a particular Section, Article, Exhibit or Schedule (other than in connection with the Code, the Regulations or the Act) means a Section or Article of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless another agreement is specified.

CAPITAL AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

3.1 Membership Interests and Units. The Membership Interests in the Company shall be divided into, and represented by, two classes of units (“Units”) that are referred to herein as “Class A Units” and “Class B Units,” with each such class having the rights, powers and privileges as set forth in this Agreement.

3.2 Initial Capital Contribution. CFSI LLC has made the initial capital contribution to the Company as described in and set forth in the Contribution Agreement.

3.3 Initial Members. Following the initial capital contribution of CFSI LLC as provided in Section 3.2, the Company issued Class A Units to CFSI LLC as reflected in Schedule A and admitted CFSI as a Class A Member.

3.4 Transfer of Units and Admission of Substitute Members. Units may be Transferred and Substitute Members may be admitted to the Company only in accordance with Article 11.

3.5 Issuance of Additional Units.

(a) Subject to the approval of the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Class A Units, the Company may issue an unlimited number of additional Class A Units to any Person at any time for such consideration as the Board deems appropriate

(b) Additional Class B Units may be issued only to executive officers of the Company and all such issuances shall be subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee. If, immediately following any such issuance, there would be more than an aggregate of 100 Class B Units outstanding then any such issuance shall also be approved by (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, for so long as he is serving as an executive officer of the Company and is a Class B Member and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, for so long as he is serving as an executive officer of the Company and is a Class B Member. If neither ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ is both an executive officer of the Company and a Class B Member, then any such issuance shall also be approved by holders of a majority of the Class B Units then outstanding.

(c) If any additional Units are issued hereunder to any Person who is not already a Member, any such Person (and such Person’s spouse, as applicable) shall, as a condition to admission as an additional Member (an “Additional Member”), execute and acknowledge such instruments as the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate to effect the admission of such Person as an Additional Member, including, without limitation, the written agreement by such Person (and such Person’s spouse, as applicable) to

become a party to, and be bound by, the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the admission of any Additional Member, the Schedule of Members attached hereto as Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the admission of such Additional Member.

3.7 Loans to the Company. Any Member, directly or through an Affiliate, may at any time or from time to time lend funds to the Company with the consent of the Board. Any such loan shall be repayable by the Company to the Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable) at such date or dates as they may agree, and shall bear interest and carry such other terms as they may agree at a fair market interest rate and terms for similar loans between unaffiliated parties. The Members expressly agree and acknowledge that nothing in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to require or otherwise obligate any Member to make any such loan to the Company. A loan by a Member to the Company shall not increase the interest of the lending Member in the capital of the Company and shall not entitle such Member to any increased share in the Company’s capital, Profits or Losses.

3.8 Capital Accounts.

(a) A Capital Account shall be established for each Member and shall be determined and maintained in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 704 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. A Member that has more than one class or series of Units shall have a single Capital Account that reflects all such classes or series of Units and regardless of time or manner in which such Units were acquired. In addition to such other adjustments as may be required under this Agreement or pursuant to such Treasury Regulations, each Member’s Capital Account shall be (a) increased by (i) such Member’s Capital Contribution to the Company, plus (ii) the amount of any Profits and Liquidating Gains allocated to such Member and items of Capital Account Gross Income specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 5, and (b) decreased by (i) the amount of any Losses and Liquidating Losses allocated to such Member and items of Capital Account Deduction specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 5, (ii) the amount of any cash or other assets distributed to such Member by the Company, and (iii) the fair market value, as determined by the Board, of any property distributed, or deemed hereunder to be distributed, to such Member by the Company (net of any liabilities that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752 upon any such distribution of property).

(b) In accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e), immediately prior to the actual or deemed distribution of any Company asset in kind, the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Company’s book carrying value of such Company asset shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any unrealized gain or unrealized loss attributable to such Company asset as if such unrealized gain or unrealized loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of such Company asset immediately prior to such distribution and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to Article 5. For purposes of determining such unrealized gain or unrealized loss, the fair market value, as determined by the Board, of Company assets shall be used.

(c) Upon any event described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5), the Board may determine to restate the Capital Accounts in connection with a revaluation of the assets of the Company in order to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, or deduction inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable sale of such assets for their fair market value as determined by the Board.

(d) Upon any Transfer of Units, the Transferee shall be credited on the Company’s books with the portion of the Transferor’s Capital Account that corresponds to the Transferred Units.

3.9 General Provisions regarding Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (a) no Member shall have the right to demand or receive a return of its Capital Contribution, (b) under circumstances requiring hereunder a return of any Capital Contribution, no Member shall have the right to demand or receive property other than cash, and (c) no Member shall receive any interest, salary or draw with respect to its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member. No Member shall be required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return the Capital Contribution of any Member.

3.10 Limitation on Liability. Except as otherwise required under the Act, 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 no Member or Assignee shall be personally liable for or otherwise obligated with respect to any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company by reason of being a Member or Assignee. The Members and Assignees agree that the rights, duties and obligations of the Members and Assignees in their capacities as such are only as set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise arise under the Act. Furthermore, the Members and Assignees agree that the existence of any rights of a Member or Assignee, or the exercise or forbearance from exercise of any such rights shall not create any duties or obligations of the Member or Assignees in their capacities as such, nor shall such rights be construed to enlarge or otherwise alter in any manner the duties and obligations of the Members or Assignees.

ARTICLE 4

DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Distributions Generally. Except as provided in Section 4.4, distributions of GP Available Cash and IDR Available Cash shall be made to all Members simultaneously in accordance with Section 4.2; provided, however, that any loans from Members pursuant to Section 3.7 that are then due and payable shall be repaid prior to any distributions to Members. Any distributions by the Company will be made only to Persons who, according to the books and records of the Company, were the holders of record of Units on the date determined by the Board as of which the holders of Units are entitled to the distribution in question.

The amount of any such Tax Liability Distribution shall be equal to 40% of the amount of net taxable income and gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 5 with respect to the year for which the amount of any Tax Liability Distribution is being determined; provided, however, that if the Company has made any distributions pursuant to Section 4.2 with respect to the year for which the amount of any Tax Liability Distribution is being determined, the amount of such Tax Liability Distribution shall be reduced by the amount of such distributions.

4.4 Distributions on Dissolution and Winding Up. Upon the dissolution and winding up of the Company, the proceeds of liquidation after the payment of creditors as specified in Section 15.2 shall be distributed to all of the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances as properly adjusted through the time of such distribution.

5.4 Additional Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 5, the following special allocations shall be made for each taxable period:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.4, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable period, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-2(f)(6), (g)(2), and (j)(2)(i).

(d) In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Company taxable period, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account after all other allocations provided in this Section 5.4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.4(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Class A Members, Pro Rata.

(g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such provisions.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5 other than the Required Allocations, the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under the Agreed Allocations if the Required Allocations had not otherwise been provided for in this Section 5.4.

5.5 Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members agree that “Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities” of the Company, as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated to the Members as follows:

(a) 75% to the Class A Members, Pro Rata; and

(b) 25% to the Class B Members, Pro Rata.

5.6 Income Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 5.6, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

(b) The Members recognize that with respect to any property contributed to the Company, there may be a difference between the basis of the property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of the contribution. In such case, all items of tax depreciation, cost recovery, amortization, and gain or loss with respect to such properties shall be allocated among the Members to take into account such disparities in accordance with the provisions of sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations under those sections.

(c) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof and basis allocations recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company; provided, however, such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account the adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

5.7 Negative Capital Accounts. In no event shall any Member be obligated to pay to the Company, any other Member or any creditor of the Company any deficit balance in its Capital Account.

6.4 Record Date for Determination of Membership. In order that the Board may determine the Members (i) entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members, (ii) entitled to express consent to action in writing without a meeting, (iii) entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of Units (iv) entitled to receive a distribution with respect to any Units, or (v) for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. The record date for determining the Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the Members or any adjournment thereof shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. The record date for determining the Members entitled to consent to action in writing without a

meeting pursuant to Section 6.10 shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. The record date for any other action shall not be more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, (a) the record date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting shall be at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived by all Members, at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which the meeting is held, (b) the record date for determining Members entitled to express consent to action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or to be taken is delivered to the Company and, when prior action by the Board is required, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action, and (c) the record date for determining Members for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating to such other purpose.

6.5 Notice to Members. Written notice stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, except as otherwise required by the Act.

6.6 Waiver. Attendance of a Member, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting, whether annual or special, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. A written waiver of notice of any such meeting signed by a Member or Members entitled to such notice, whether before, at or after the time for notice or the time of the meeting, shall be equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

6.7 Quorum. The holders of a majority of the outstanding of Class A Units entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Members for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by the Act; provided, however, that at any meeting at which a matter is presented for which the Class B Members or Executive Management Members are entitled to vote, the establishment of a quorum shall also require the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Units or a majority of the Executive Management Votes, as applicable, entitled to vote on such matter.

TRANSFER OF UNITS;

ADMISSION OF SUBSTITUTE MEMBERS

11.1 Restrictions on Transfers of Units.

(a) No Member or Assignee may Transfer any Units held by such Member or Assignee to any other Person except in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of a Unit in violation of this Agreement shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio, and the purported Transferee shall (a) not be admitted as a Member, (b) not be deemed to be an Assignee of the Units purported to be Transferred, and (c) have no rights to share in Profits or Losses, to receive any distributions, or to receive any allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or other similar items with respect to the Units purported to be Transferred. If, notwithstanding the prohibition hereunder, applicable law requires that a Transfer of Units in violation of this Agreement must be given effect, the Transferee of such noncomplying Transfer shall have only the rights of an Assignee, the Units so Transferred shall be subject to the repurchase provisions of Section 11.10, and shall also be subject to such legal and equitable remedies as may be available to the Company and the other Members.

(b) The Members acknowledge and understand that interests in the Company cannot be readily purchased or sold in the open market, and that each of the Members has entered into this Agreement in substantial reliance upon the strict enforcement of the

covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Because of such limited marketability of interests, such substantial reliance on the covenants and conditions hereof, and the unique relationship that exists among Members entering into a common business venture, among other reasons, it is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Members will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Should any dispute arise concerning the Transfer of Units, an injunction may be issued enjoining such Transfer pending the determination of such controversy. Such remedy shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the parties may have at law or in equity.

11.2 Rights of Certain Class A Members to Transfer Units. Subject to Sections 11.4 and 13.1, but otherwise notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any Class A Member who, together with its Affiliates, holds at least 50.1% of the outstanding Class A Units shall have the right to transfer Class A Units to any Person without the approval of the Board or any other Member provided that such Member, together with its Affiliates, continues to hold at least 50.1% of the outstanding Class A Units immediately following such Transfer. Subject to Section 11.5, the Transferee of such Class A Units shall be admitted as a Substitute Member.

11.3 Certain Permitted Transfers.

(a) The provisions of Section 11.1(a) shall not apply to any of the following Transfers (each, a “Permitted Transfer”):

(i) to a Member’s Immediate Family Member or to a trust, partnership, custodianship or other fiduciary account for his or for their benefit;

(ii) if the Member is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, to the respective shareholders of such corporation, partners in such partnership or members of such limited liability company, or to Affiliates of such shareholders, partners or members, provided that such shareholders, partners or members are not being used as a device to avoid the restrictions on Transfer provided in this Agreement;

(iii) to an Affiliate of the Member, provided that such Affiliate is not being used as a device to avoid the restrictions on Transfer provided in this Agreement;

(iv) following a liquidation of CFSI LLC, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ De Leeuw to an MDC Permitted Transferee, or by an MDC Permitted Transferee to another MDC Permitted Transferee, provided, that such MDC Permitted Transferee is not being used as a device to avoid the restrictions on Transfer provided in this Agreement; or

(v) a Transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.4 or Articles 12 or 13.

Any Person to which Units are Transferred pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) above is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee” and any Member effecting a such a Transfer is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferor.”

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including this Section 11.3, for so long as any Subsidiary that is a corporation has a net operating loss carryover for federal income tax purposes, no Transfer of any Unit shall be permitted if the effect of such Transfer would be to subject such net operating loss carryover to the limitations contained in Section 382 of the Code unless prior to such Transfer the Board has made an express determination that such limitation would not have a material adverse effect on the ability to use such net operating loss carryover.

(b) Upon any Transfer of Units under this Section 11.3, the Permitted Transferee shall become a party to this Agreement as an Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7 and, unless the Board shall determine otherwise, such Permitted Transferee shall not be admitted as a Member. Following the Transfer of any Units under this Section 11.3, the Permitted Transferor shall not be deemed to have withdrawn as a Member and shall remain a Member and shall continue to be entitled to all rights pertaining to such Units other than the rights of an Assignee as provided under Section 11.6.

(c) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, upon the death or Total Disability of any Permitted Transferor that is a natural person, any Permitted Transfer effected by such Permitted Transferor shall be deemed to be an Involuntary Transfer under Section 11.10.

(d) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if any Permitted Transferee, other than an MDC Permitted Transferee, that is an Affiliate of the Permitted Transferor ceases to be an Affiliate of such Permitted Transferor, then any Permitted Transfer effected by such Permitted Transferor to such former Affiliate shall be deemed to be an Involuntary Transfer under Section 11.10.

11.4 Right of First Offer.

(a) For so long as CFSI LLC is the sole Class A Member, if CFSI LLC desires to Transfer all or a portion of any Class A Units held by it (the “CFSI Units”) to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee, then each Class B Member shall have a right of first offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of the CFSI Units, all in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) CFSI LLC shall send written notice (the “CFSI Offering Notice”) to the Company and the Class B Members of its desire to Transfer all or a portion of the CFSI Units to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee, and the price and other terms and conditions of a sale that CFSI LLC believes is material and is willing to accept (the “CFSI Proposed Terms”). The CFSI Offering Notice shall be dated and delivered on that date to each party entitled thereto.

(ii) For a period of 30 calendar days after the date of the CFSI Offering Notice, the Class B Members shall have the exclusive right and option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the CFSI Units on the CFSI Proposed Terms. Each Class B

Member that desires to exercise its option shall give CFSI LLC written notice to that effect within such 30-day period. If a Class B Member timely exercises its option, settlement will be consummated within 40 calendar days after the date of the CFSI Offering Notice and in accordance with the CFSI Proposed Terms. If more than one Class B Member shall exercise its option, then the CFSI Units shall be allocated proportionately among such Class B Members in the ratio that the number of Class B Units owned by each such Class B Member bears to the total number of Class B Units owned by all such Class B Members.

(iii) If and to the extent that the Class B Members fail to notify CFSI LLC or decline to purchase all of the CFSI Units within 30 days of the date of the CFSI Offering Notice, then CFSI LLC shall be free to Transfer the CFSI Units to any third party at a price that is no less than 90% of the price contained in the CFSI Offering Notice and otherwise on terms and conditions no less favorable to CFSI LLC than the CFSI Proposed Terms for a period of 180 days thereafter. If a sale of the CFSI Units is not consummated by CFSI LLC within such 180-day period, then CFSI LLC shall again be subject to this Section 11.4(a) prior to a Transfer of all or a portion of its Class A Units to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee.

(b) Following a liquidation of CFSI LLC, if one or more Persons holding 50% or more of the outstanding Class A Units (each, an “Offering Member”) desires to Transfer all or a portion of any Class A Units held by such Offering Members (the “Offered Units”) to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee, then the Company shall have a right of first offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Offered Units, all in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) The Offering Members shall send written notice (the “Offering Notice”) to the Company and each of the Class B Members of its desire to Transfer all or a portion of the Offered Units to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee, and the price and other terms and conditions of a sale that the Offering Members believe are material and are willing to accept (the “Proposed Terms”). The Offering Notice shall be dated and delivered on that date to each party entitled thereto.

(ii) For a period of 30 calendar days after the date of the Offering Notice, the Company shall have the exclusive right and option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units on the Proposed Terms. If the Company desires to purchase the Offered Units, it shall give the Offering Members written notice to that effect within such 30-day period. If the Company timely exercises its option, settlement shall be consummated within 40 calendar days after the date of the Offering Notice and in accordance with the Proposed Terms. A majority of the Independent Directors shall determine whether the Company desires to purchase the Offered Units for purposes of this Section 11.4(b).

(iii) If and to the extent that the Company declines to purchase all of the Offered Units or fails to timely notify the Offering Members of its election, then the Class B Members shall have the exclusive right and option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units in accordance with the Proposed Terms. Each Class B Member that desires to exercise its

option to purchase the Offered Units shall deliver written notice to the Offering Members to that effect within 40 calendar days after the date of the Offering Notice. If a Class B Member timely exercises its option, settlement shall be consummated within 50 calendar days of the date of the Offering Notice and in accordance with the Proposed Terms. If more than one Class B Member shall exercise its option, then the Offered Units shall be allocated proportionately among such Class B Members in the ratio that the number of Units owned by each such Class B Member bears to the total number of Units owned by all such Class B Members.

(iv) If and to the extent that the Company and the Class B Members, as applicable, fail to timely notify the Offering Members or decline to purchase all of the Offered Units within the applicable notice periods specified above, then the Offering Members shall be free to Transfer all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units to any third party at a price that is no less than 90% of the price terms contained in the Offering Notice and otherwise terms and conditions no less favorable to the Offering Members than the Proposed Terms for a period of 180 days thereafter. If a sale of the Offered Units is not consummated by the Offering Members within such 180-day period, then the Offering Members shall again be subject to the procedures of this Section 11.4(b) prior to a Transfer all or a portion of any Class A Units held by the Offering Members to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee.

11.5 Substitute Members. If a Member Transfers any of its Units to a Transferee who is not already a Member, such Transferee shall not be admitted as a Substitute Member except in accordance with Section 11.7. A Transferee who has been admitted as a Substitute Member in accordance with Section 11.7 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities under this Agreement of a Member holding the same class of Units and shall be deemed a party hereto.

11.6 Assignees. Unless admitted as a Substitute Member, no Transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in this Section 11.6. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a Member’s interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Company and the share of Profits and Losses attributable to the Units Transferred to such Assignee, and the right to transfer the Units as provided in this Article 11, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Units for any other purpose under this Agreement and shall not be entitled to vote or consent with respect to such Units on any matter presented to the Members for approval (such power and right to so vote and consent remaining with the Transferor). In the event any Assignee desires to further Transfer any Units, such Assignee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make a Transfer of Units.

11.7 Requirements Applicable to All Transfers. Any Transfer of Units under this Article 11 and any admission of an Assignee as a Substitute Member shall also be subject to the following requirements, and such Transfer shall not be effective unless such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that the Board may waive any of the following requirements:

Any attempted grant of a security interest in any Units by a Member in violation of this Agreement shall be a breach of this Agreement and such attempted grant shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio.

If, notwithstanding the prohibition set forth in Section 11.1, applicable law requires that a Transfer of Units in breach of this Article 11 must be given effect (an “Involuntary Transfer”), the Company shall have, for a period of five years following the effective date of such Transfer (the “Involuntary Transfer Date”), the right to purchase from the Transferee of such Units any Units so Transferred. The purchase price for such Units shall be the Valuation Price of such Units. If the Company exercises the right to repurchase Units pursuant to this Section 11.10, the purchase price shall be paid by the Company in cash to such Transferee within 60 days after giving notice to the Transferee of its election to repurchase such Units.

MISCELLANEOUS

17.1 No Registration of Units.

Each Member represents and warrants to the Company that it has acquired or is acquiring its Units for investment purposes only and without any view toward or intent to dispose of or distribute such Units or any interest therein. Each Member also agrees that, in the absence of an applicable exemption from registration and qualification, neither the Units, nor any interest therein may be transferred without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

17.2 Exhibits. Each of the Exhibits attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and expressly made a part of this Agreement for all purposes. References to any Exhibit in this Agreement shall be deemed to include this reference and incorporation.

17.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof, or the application of such provision or portion thereof to any Person or circumstance, shall be held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or portion thereof to Persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.

17.4 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs executors, administrators and successors, and all other persons hereafter having or holding an interest in this Company, whether as Assignees, Transferees, Substitute Members, Additional Members or otherwise.

17.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws, and not the laws pertaining to choice or conflict of laws, of the State of Delaware. Each Member consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware with respect to any litigation arising under or related to this Agreement.

17.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by original or facsimile signature in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

17.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be for the benefit of, nor shall they be enforceable by, any Person who is not an Assignee or a party to this Agreement.

17.8 Notices. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all notices, requests, or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either by depositing that writing in the United States mail, addressed to the Person, postage prepaid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested, or by delivering that writing to the Person in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission. If mailed or delivered by courier, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, or when deposited with a reputable overnight courier, addressed to the Person at its address as it appears in the records of the Company. If given by facsimile transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given when upon receipt of confirmation of a successful facsimile transmission to the facsimile number of the Person as it appears in the records of the Company. If given personally or otherwise than by mail, courier or facsimile transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given when either handed to the Person or delivered to the Person’s address as it appears in the records of the Company. All notices, requests, and consents to be given to a Member must be sent or delivered to the address given for that Member as reflected in this Agreement or such other address as that Member may specify by written notice to the Company and to the other Members. Whenever any notice is required to be given by law or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

17.9 Spouses. The Spouses signatory hereto hereby acknowledge that they are fully aware of, understand, and fully consent and agree to the provisions of this Agreement and its binding effect on any interest that each Spouse may have by reason of marriage to a Member in any Units held by that Member. Any obligation of a Member or his estate or legal representative to sell of offer to sell his Units under the terms of this Agreement includes an obligation on the part of that Spouse to sell or offer to sell any interest she may have in the same manner.

17.10 Entire Agreement; Interpretation. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings between them with respect to said subject matter, and specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, supercedes and replaces that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of StoneMor GP LLC dated as of April 2, 2004.
