15

3.3          Liability to Third Parties; Duties and Obligations.

(a)           Except as may be expressly provided in another separate, written guaranty or other agreement executed by a Member or as required by the Delaware LLC Act, no Member or Director shall be liable for the Liabilities of the Company, including under a judgment, decree or order of a court, solely by reason of being a member or manager of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or Director has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the Company or to incur any expenditures on behalf of the Company.

(b)           The Company and the Members agree that the rights, duties and obligations of the Members in their capacity as members of the Company are only as set forth in this Agreement and, except to the extent this Agreement provides otherwise, under the Delaware LLC Act.  Furthermore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Members agree that the existence of any rights of a Member, or the exercise or forbearance from exercise of any such rights, shall not create any duties or obligations of the Members in their capacities as members of the Company, nor shall such rights be construed to enlarge or otherwise alter in any manner the duties and obligations of the Members.

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

All meetings of the Members will be held at the principal office of the Company or at such other place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as is designated by the Class A Member(s) holding more than 50% of the Class A Membership Interests calling the meeting and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Members eligible to attend any meetings may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or video equipment or similar communications equipment whereby all participants in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting in this manner will constitute presence in person at the meeting.

3.5          Quorum; Voting Requirement.

(a)           The presence, in person or by proxy, of the Class A Member(s) holding more than 50% of the Class A Membership Interests will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by the Members.

A voting Member’s attendance at a meeting:

(a)           waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless such Member, at the beginning of the meeting, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and

(b)           waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the notice of meeting, unless such Member objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

3.7          Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Member under the provisions of this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing signed by such Member, whether before or after the time stated therein, will be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

3.8          Action Without a Meeting. Any action that is required to or may be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice if consented to in writing or by electronic transmission by the Members holding more than 50% of the Membership Interests entitled to vote on such matter (or such other percentage of the Membership Interests held by Members that are entitled to vote on such matter as is required for such action under this Agreement). Such consent will have the same force and effect as a vote at a meeting duly held.

3.9          Proxies. At any meeting of the Members, every Member having the right to vote thereat will be entitled to vote in person or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing signed by such Member and bearing a date not more than three years prior to such meeting.

3.10        Voting by Certain Holders. In the case of a voting Member that is a corporation, its Membership Interest may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. In the case of a voting Member that is a general or limited partnership, its Membership Interest may be voted, in person or by proxy, by such Person as is designated by such Member. In the case of a voting Member that is another limited liability company, its Membership Interest may be voted, in person or by proxy, by such Person as is designated by the governing agreement of such other limited liability company, or, in the absence of such designation, by such Person as is designated by the limited liability company. In the case of a voting Member that is a trust, its Membership Interest may be voted by the trustee of such trust.

17

3.11        Denial of Appraisal Rights. No Member will have any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights with respect to any merger, consolidation, conversion or dissolution of the Company, any sale of assets by the Company or any amendment to this Agreement, the Members’ rights with respect to such matters being limited to those rights, if any, expressly set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

4.1          Capital Contributions.

(a)           The Parties hereto agree that, as of the Effective Time, the respective amounts of the Capital Contributions of the Members with respect to their Membership Interests and the percentage of such class of Membership Interests owned by each Member are as set forth on Exhibit A.  No Member shall be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company, except that the Class A Member(s) shall be obligated to make (i) an additional capital contribution of up to $250,000 to the Company if requested by the Company and (ii) additional capital contributions to the Company as needed to allow the Company to make additional capital contributions to the MLP in order to maintain the Company’s percentage general partner interest in the MLP. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall not be constructed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of, or any Member of, the Company or any creditor of, or any limited partner of, the MLP and no Member shall have any duty or obligation to any creditor of, or any other Member of, the Company or any creditor of, or any limited partner of, the MLP to make any contribution to the Company.

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

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

4.3          Return of Contributions. A Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of its Capital Account or Capital Contributions. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member. No Member will be required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.

ARTICLE 5

(c)           If a Class B Member or Class C Member makes a Special Election, the amount distributable to such Class B Member or Class C Member pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall be reduced by the amount specified in such Special Election, and such amount shall be distributed to the Class A Member pursuant to Section 5.1(a).

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.1, upon the earlier to occur of the liquidation of the Company or the end of the Distribution Period, the Company shall, prior to making distributions to any other Member, distribute to each Class B Member and each Class C Member an amount equal to the Capital Contributions made by such Members.  Such distributions shall be made to the Class B Members and Class C Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Contributions.

(e)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member on account of its Membership Interests if such distribution would violate the Delaware LLC Act or any other Applicable Law.

5.2          General Application. The rules set forth below in this Article 5 shall apply for the purposes of determining each Member’s allocable share of the items of income, gain, loss and expense of the Company comprising Net Income or Net Loss for each Allocation Year, determining special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and expense, and adjusting the balance of each Member’s Capital Account to reflect the aforementioned general and special allocations. For each Allocation Year, the special allocations in Section 5.4 hereof shall be made immediately prior to the general allocations of Section 5.3 hereof.

5.3          General Allocations.

(a)           Hypothetical Liquidation. The items of income, expense, gain and loss of the Company comprising Net Income or Net Loss for a Allocation Year shall be allocated among the Persons who were Members during such Allocation Year in a manner that shall, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of such Allocation Year to equal the excess (which may be negative) of:

(i)            the amount of the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Member would receive if, on the last day of the Allocation Year, (A) all Company assets, including cash and the amount, if any, without duplication, that all Members would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such Allocation Year, (B) all Company liabilities were

20

satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each nonrecourse liability, to the book values of the assets securing such liability), and (C) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 5.1 (taking into account Section 5.1(d) and Section 10.6 hereof) over:

(ii)           the sum of (A) the amount, if any, without duplication, that such Members would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, (B) such Member’ share of Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (C) such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed as of the hypothetical sale described in Section 5.3(a)(i) hereof.

(b)           Loss Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.3, the amount of items of Company expense and loss allocated pursuant to this Section 5.3 to any Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Allocation Year. All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.3(b) shall be allocated first to Members who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata in proportion to their Capital Account balances, adjusted as provided in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, until no Member would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter to the Class A Member.

(c)           No Deficit Restoration Obligation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, at no time during the term of the Company or upon dissolution and liquidation thereof shall a Member with a negative balance in its Capital Account have any obligation to the Company or the other Members to restore such negative balance.

5.4          Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a)           Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Allocation Year, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.4(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b)           Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article

21

5, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Allocation Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.4(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c)           Qualified Income Offset. In the event that any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.4(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d)           Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Allocation Year, each such Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such deficit 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 an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if Section 5.4(c) and this Section 5.4(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e)           Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be allocated to the Class A Member.

(f)            Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(g)           Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset, pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to 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 gain or loss shall be allocated

22

to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

5.5          Regulatory Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.4(a), Section 5.4(b), Section 5.4(c), Section 5.4(d), Section 5.4(e), Section 5.4(f) and Section 5.4(g) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, the Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.5. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Board 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 Section 5.3. In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.5, the Board shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.4(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 5.4(e) and Section 5.4(f).

5.6          Allocations: Oil and Gas Items.

(a)           Income from the sale of oil or gas production (including, without limitation, the Company’s allocable share of such income from the MLP) shall be allocated as part of Net Income and Net Loss and each Member’s allocable share thereof shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(1)(vii).

(b)           Cost or percentage depletion deductions and the gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of property the production from which is subject to depletion (“Depletable Property”) shall be computed separately by the Members rather than the Company. For purposes of Code Section 613A(c)(7)(D), the Company’s adjusted basis in each Depletable Property (including, without limitation, its allocable share of the adjusted basis in each Depletable Property owned by the MLP) shall be allocated in proportion to each Member’s respective share of the costs and expenses which entered into the Company’s adjusted basis for such Depletable Property. The amount realized on the sale or other disposition of each Depletable Property (including, without limitation, the Company’s allocable share of the amount realized on the sale or other disposition of Depletable Property owned by the MLP) shall be allocated for tax purposes to the Members in the same manner as Simulated Basis, Simulated Gain and Simulated Loss were allocated.

(c)           For Capital Account purposes, Simulated Depletion, Simulated Gain and Simulated Loss with respect to each separate Depletable Property shall be allocated as part of Net Income and Net Loss. Each Member shall separately keep records of its share of the adjusted basis in each separate oil and gas property, adjust such share of the adjusted basis for any cost or percentage depletion allowable with respect to such property and use such adjusted basis in the computation of its cost depletion or in the computation of its gain or loss on the disposition of such property by the Company.  Each Member hereto agrees to furnish to the Company within

23

30 days of receipt of written request by the Company, a written statement which contains the amount of that Member’s adjusted basis and depletion deductions with respect to each existing oil and gas property of the Company. In determining depletion deductions for purposes of applying Treasury Regulations §1.613A-3(e)(3)(iii), each Member must treat as actually deducted any amount disallowed and carried over as a result of the 65 percent of income limitation of Code Section 613A(d)(1).

5.7          Other Allocation Rules.

(a)           Net Income, Net Loss, and any other items of income, gain, loss, or deduction will be allocated to the Members pursuant to this Article 5 as of the last day of each Allocation Year; provided that Net Income, Net Loss, and such other items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of Property are adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value.”

(b)           For purposes of determining the Net Income, Net Loss, or any other items allocable to any period, Net Income, Net Loss, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Board using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be made only out of assets of the Company, it being agreed that a Member shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(i)            To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 6.5(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.5.

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

(b)           The indemnification provided by this Section 6.5 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such

31

capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

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

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

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

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

(h)           Any act or omission performed or omitted by an Indemnitee on advice of legal counsel or an independent consultant who has been employed or retained by the Company shall be presumed to have been performed or omitted in good faith without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(i)            THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 6.5 AND 6.6 ARE INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF

No Member shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any action taken by any other Member.

(b)           An Indemnitee shall incur no liability to the Company or any Member in acting in good faith upon any signature or writing believed by such Indemnitee to be genuine, may rely on a certificate signed by an executive officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge, and may rely on an opinion of counsel selected by such Indemnitee with respect to legal matters. Each Indemnitee may act directly or through such Indemnitee’s agents or attorneys. Each Indemnitee may consult with counsel, appraisers, engineers, accountants and other skilled Persons selected by such Indemnitee, and shall not be liable to the Company or any Member for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith in reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons. No Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or employee of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.6, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any mistake of fact or judgment by such Indemnitee in conducting the affairs of the Company or otherwise acting in respect of and within the scope of this Agreement.

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

(d)           The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expressly restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee.  To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated herein or applicable provision of law or equity or otherwise, in causing the Company to make a determination or take or decline to take any action, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall act in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards

33

imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware LLC Act or any other law, rule or regulation, or in equity.  In order for a determination or other action affecting the Company to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnitee must believe that the determination or other action is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

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

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

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

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

34

thereof, the Company will nevertheless indemnify such Person for the portion thereof to which such Person is entitled.

6.9          Omitted.

6.10        Other Business Ventures.

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

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the terms of any other agreement to which a party may be subject, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Member, Director or Officer.  No Member, Director or Officer who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Company or its Subsidiaries shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and such Member, Director or Officer shall not be liable to the Company or any other Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Member, Director or Officer pursues or acquires for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, that such Member, Director or Officer does not engage in such business or activity as a result of or using confidential or proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries to such Person.

DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP AND TERMINATION

9.1          Dissolution.

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

(i)            the decision of the Board of Directors;

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

37

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

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

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

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

9.2          Winding-Up and Termination.

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

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

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

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

(iv)          all remaining assets of the Company (including cash) shall be distributed to the Members in the same manner in which non-liquidating distributions are made in accordance with Section 5.1.

38

(b)           The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member in respect of its Membership Interest and its share of all the Company’s property. No Member shall be required to make any Capital Contribution to the Company to enable the Company to make the distributions described in this Section 9.2 and this Section 9.2 constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

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

9.3          Omitted.

9.4          Allocations and Distributions During Period of Liquidation. During the period commencing on the first day of the Allocation 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 9.2, the Members shall continue to share Net Income, Net Loss and other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in the manner provided in Article 5 but no distributions shall be made pursuant to Section 5.1 after the day on which the Dissolution Event occurs.
