Exchange Fund Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent, and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(e)) or surrender of ownership of Book Entry Units or L/C Secured Claim Units in exchange for the amount to which such holder of Certificates, Book Entry Units or L/C Secured Claim Units is entitled as a result of the Merger pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i)(A) or Section 2.1(b)(i)(B), as applicable. Following the Effective Time, and upon delivery of a properly executed Exchange Fund Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent and, with respect to Certificates, surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(e)) or surrender of ownership of Book Entry Units or L/C Secured Claim Units, (A) the Person holding such Certificate or Book Entry Unit or L/C Secured Claim Unit shall in exchange therefor be entitled to receive an amount, in immediately available funds and without any interest thereon, equal to the product of (x) the number of Units represented by such Certificate, Book Entry Unit or L/C Secured Claim Unit multiplied by (y) the Per Unit Merger Consideration, and such Certificate, Book Entry Unit or L/C Secured Claim Units, as applicable, shall be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon the surrender of a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(e)) or with respect to a Book Entry Unit or L/C Secured Claim Unit. Until delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2, each Certificate or Book Entry Unit representing any Secured Claim Unit (other than any Excluded Units) and each L/C Secured Claim Unit shall be deemed at any time following the Effective Time to represent for all purposes only the right to receive, as provided by this Agreement, the Per Unit Merger Consideration, and shall have no other rights.

(c)                               Unsecured Claim Units; Unsecured Trust. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Trustee, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, for the benefit of the holders of Unsecured Claim Units and other holders of Unsecured Claims cash in immediately available funds in an amount equal to $250,819,948 (such cash amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Unsecured Trust”). The Trustee shall invest the Unsecured Trust and make payments from the Unsecured Trust in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement.

Section 2.3                       Treatment of Company Options, Restricted Units, Phantom Units and Residual Units.

Each holder of any such outstanding and unexercised Company Option (whether or not then vested) shall, in exchange therefor, be entitled to receive, subject to Section 2.5, a single lump sum cash payment (without any interest thereon), payable on or prior to the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving Company that occurs after the Closing, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the total number of Units subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Unit Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Unit under such Company Option. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Company Option with an exercise price per Unit that is equal to or greater than the Per Unit Merger Consideration shall be canceled at the Effective Time without any cash payment being made or other consideration being delivered in respect thereof.

(b)                              Restricted Units. Subject to Section 2.5, each Restricted Unit that is outstanding shall vest and be canceled immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the Management Equity Plan and the Award Agreement governing such Restricted Units.

Each remaining unvested Restricted Unit shall be automatically canceled at the Effective Time without any cash payment being made or other consideration being delivered in respect thereof.

(c)                               Phantom Units.

Subject to Section 2.5, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a number of fully vested Units having a Fair Market Value equal to the Residual Equity Value shall be granted to a group of employees in accordance with the determination of the Compensation Committee of the Company Board after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (each such Unit, a “Residual Unit”). Each such Unit shall, at the Effective Time, be automatically entitled to receive the Per Unit Merger Consideration in exchange for the cancellation of such Residual Unit. Section 2.3(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the number of Residual Units available, and the number of Residual Units that will be Restricted Units and the number that will be Company Options.

Section 2.4                       Certain Adjustments. In the event that, prior to the Effective Time, the Company changes the number of Units or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Units issued and outstanding, as a result of a reclassification, unit split (including a reverse unit split), unit dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or

8

exchange offer or other similar transaction, the Per Unit Merger Consideration or the Per Unsecured Claim Unit Consideration, as applicable, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Per Unit Merger Consideration or the Per Unsecured Claim Unit Consideration, as applicable.

Section 2.5                       Withholding. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the consideration otherwise payable by it pursuant to this Article II, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld (or caused to be withheld) by Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be timely remitted by Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company or Parent, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) upon remittance shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be.

Section 2.6                       Termination of Exchange Fund.

(a)                               Any portion of the Primary Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Primary Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Secured Claim Units (other than a holder of Excluded Units) for one year after the Effective Time shall be contributed to the Surviving Company. Any holder of Secured Claim Units (other than a holder of Excluded Units) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) only as a general creditor thereof with respect to any amount to which such holder of Secured Claim Units is entitled as a result of the Merger pursuant to Section 2.1 (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5) upon due delivery of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(e)) or Book Entry Units, without any interest thereon.

Any L/C Secured Claim Rights Holder who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) only as a general creditor thereof with respect to any amount to which such L/C Secured Claim Rights Holder is entitled as a result of the Merger pursuant to Section 2.1 (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5) upon due delivery of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(e)) or Book Entry Units or L/C Claim Rights, without any interest thereon.

(c)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, none of the Surviving Company, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any holders of Units for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 4.2                       Acquisition Proposals.

(a)                               Subject to Section 4.2(b) and Section 4.2(c), at all times during the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, the Company shall not, shall cause its Subsidiaries, directors and officers to not, and shall instruct its other Representatives and the Unit holders named on Section 4.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter to not (i) solicit, initiate, propose or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information) or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to the Members) that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives or the Company’s Representatives) any information or data relating to, any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend, consummate or execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) resolve, propose or agree, or authorize any of its Representatives, to do any of the foregoing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the doing of any of the foregoing by any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company of this Section 4.2(a). The Company shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries, directors and officers to, and shall instruct its other Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all discussions and negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and shall deliver a written notice to each such Person to the effect that the Company is ending all discussions and

35

negotiations with such Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, effective on the date hereof. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party and the Company shall, to the extent possible, promptly take all steps necessary to terminate or cause to be terminated any such waiver previously granted with respect to any provision of any such confidentiality or standstill agreement; provided that the Company Board may provide such release or waiver to make an acquisition proposal if it first determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to grant such consent or authorization would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.10(a) of the Operating Agreement). The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of acquiring (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement.

(b)

(i)                                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(a), Section 4.2(b)(i) or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the end of the Minimum Waiting Period, the Company may (subject to compliance with this Section 4.2(b)(i)), in response to an inquiry regarding or constituting an Acquisition Proposal from any Person that the Company Board determines in good faith is reasonably capable of making a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, provide a copy of the Confidential Information Memorandum to such Person pursuant to a Qualifying Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not permit the Company to furnish additional confidential information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries or participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person except in compliance with Section 4.2(b)(i); provided further that the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent of its intent to furnish a copy of the Confidential Information Memorandum to such Person, such notice to include the identity of such Person.

(ii)                              Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b)(i) or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the end of the Minimum Waiting Period, the Company may, subject to compliance with this Section 4.2(b)(i), in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person after the date of this Agreement that did not arise from a breach by the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, officers, directors or employees of this Section 4.2 that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and after the Company Board having determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take the following actions would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.10(a) of the Operating Agreement), (A) furnish confidential information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives) pursuant to a customary standstill and confidentiality agreement (which need not restrict such Person from making a confidential Acquisition Proposal to the

36

Company Board but which shall not include any provision granting such Person exclusive rights to negotiate with the Company or having the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement) on terms no less favorable in any material respect to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (a “Qualifying Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such Person prior to first (with respect to such Person) taking any such action; provided further that the Company shall simultaneously make available to Parent any information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person making such Acquisition Proposal that is given such access and which information was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives and (B) participate in discussions and negotiations with the Person making such unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide or be required to provide any commercially sensitive non-public information to any competitor in connection with the actions permitted or required by clause (A) of this Section 4.2(b)(i), except in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practices in dealing with the disclosure of such information in the context of considering Acquisition Proposals prior to the date of this Agreement.

(iii)                          The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours), advise Parent orally and in writing of the receipt of any proposals, inquiries or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Such notice shall indicate the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making any such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of any such discussions or negotiations, and material details of any such Acquisition Proposal and provide Parent with any documents describing or evidencing any such Acquisition Proposal sent by or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt or delivery thereof). The Company shall provide Parent with at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice of any meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to consider any proposal, inquiry, offer or request with respect thereto (or any lesser advance notice otherwise provided to members of the Company Board in respect of such meeting).

(c)

(i)                                  The Company Board and each committee thereof shall not (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in any manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, the Company Recommendation with respect to this Agreement or the Merger or resolve or agree to take any such action or make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Recommendation, (B) recommend, adopt or approve any Acquisition Proposal, or

37

propose publicly or otherwise to recommend, adopt or approve any Acquisition Proposal or resolve or agree to take any such action, (C) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, or other similar agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal (other than a Qualifying Confidentiality Agreement) or (D) (x) fail to publicly recommend against any Acquisition Proposal or (y) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation, in the case of each of clause (x) and (y), within five (5) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, which request may be made only once (any action described in clauses (A) through (D) referred to herein as a “Change of Recommendation”).

(ii)                              Notwithstanding this Section 4.2(c) or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board may (1) at any time prior to the expiration of the Minimum Waiting Period, in response to an Intervening Event, take or fail to take, as applicable, the actions specified in clauses (A) or (D) of Section 4.2(c)(i) (an “Intervening Event Change of Recommendation”) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that it is required to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.10(a) of the Operating Agreement) or (2) at any time prior to the expiration of the Minimum Waiting Period, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that did not arise from any breach of this Section 4.2 by the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, officers, directors or employees, that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with an independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(a) in order to cause the Company to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal; provided that (x) no Intervening Event Change of Recommendation may be made and (y) the Company shall not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(a) until after (A) the period of five (5) Business Days or, in the case of a material revision to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to which prior written notice to Parent has been provided, the period shall be three (3) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent, in the case of clause (x) above, of the reasons for such Intervening Event Change of Recommendation, including a description of the Intervening Event in reasonable detail, and, in the case of clause (y) above, that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal (or any material modification of a Superior Proposal), specifying the information required to be include in any notice required to be delivered to Parent under Section 4.2(b)(iii) and stating that the Company Board has resolved to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(a) (such notice, a “Match Notice”) (B) the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that such Intervening Event would cease to necessitate an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation or such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided that, in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.2 (including this Section 4.2(c)(ii)) with respect to such new written notice and the revised Superior Proposal contemplated thereby; (C) (1)

38

with respect to clause (x) above, a determination by the Company Board that the Intervening Event described in such written notice continues to necessitate an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation and (2) with respect to clause (y) above, a determination by the Company Board that the Acquisition Proposal described in such written notice constitutes a Superior Proposal, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above after taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such Notice Period and (D) in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing subclause (c)(ii), the Company shall have paid the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.5 to Parent prior to or concurrently with such termination.

Section 4.3                       Information Statement.

As soon as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall distribute, by upload to the secure website maintained for the benefit of holders of Units, to its Members, as appropriate, an information statement and other appropriate documents (including a copy of this Agreement) which contain, subject to Section 4.2, the Company Recommendation (such information statement and other documents, including any amendments or supplements thereto, in each case in the form or forms mailed or delivered to the Members, collectively, the “Information Statement”) if required in connection with obtaining Member Proxies representing the Company Requisite Approval, which Information Statement shall comply with applicable Laws. If the Company distributes the Information Statement, whenever any event occurs which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Information Statement, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, will promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in preparing and distributing to the Members such amendment or supplement (to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the good faith judgment of the Company). Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and distribution of the Information Statement, including furnishing as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Company any and all information relating to it as the Company may reasonably request.

40

advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts or that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate, or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Courts, and the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all claims relating to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts. The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such Chosen Court jurisdiction over the person of such Parties and, to the extent permitted by Law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.6 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid, effective and sufficient service thereof.

(b)                              EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.5.

(c)                               The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take all such actions as are necessary or required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that prior to the valid termination of this

54

Agreement in accordance with Article VII, (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the Chosen Courts without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or at Law or in equity, (b) the provisions set forth in Section 7.5 are not intended to, and shall not be construed to, diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to specific enforcement and (c) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company, Parent nor Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.5(c) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(d)                             For the avoidance of doubt, while either Party may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.5(c) and payment of monetary damages, the payment of the Termination Fee and/or expense reimbursement (as applicable), under no circumstances shall any Party be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance requiring consummation of the Merger and any such payments.

56

warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other Parties, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer of the Company, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another business enterprise at the request of the Company (each of the persons referenced in the foregoing clauses (i) — (iv) hereafter generically referred to as a “Representative”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company (but not by any member individually) to the fullest extent authorized by statutory and decisional law, as the same exists or may hereafter be interpreted or amended (but, in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto) against all expenses incurred or suffered by such person in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing in any Proceeding; provided, however, that (y) except as to actions to enforce indemnification rights pursuant to Article 6.3, the Company shall indemnify any Representative seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board and (z) no person shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent the Proceeding results from such person’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person acted fraudulently or with gross negligence or willful misconduct, or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 6 shall be a contract right.

6.2    Authority to Advance Expenses. Expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Company (acting in his or her capacity as such) in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, provided, however, in each case, that such expenses shall be advanced only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer of the Company to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article 6 or otherwise. Any obligation to reimburse the Company for expense advances shall be unsecured, and no interest shall be charged thereon.

6.3    Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Article 6.1 or Article 6.2 is not paid in full by the Company within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense (including attorneys’ fees) of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that the claimant has been determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under Article 6.1 to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. The burden of proving such a defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that

indemnification of the claimant is proper under the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Article 6.1, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board or independent legal counsel) that the claimant had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

6.4    Provisions Nonexclusive. The rights conferred on any person by this Article 6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Formation, agreement, or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

6.5    Authority to Insure. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any Representative against any expense asserted against or incurred by such person, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify the Representative against such expense under applicable law or the provisions of this Article 6.

6.6    Survival of Rights. The rights provided by this Article 6 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Representative and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.

6.7    Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any Representative under this Article 6 (a) for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (b) for any judicial award, if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity to participate, at its expense, in the defense of such action.

6.8    Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Article 6 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any Representative existing at the time of such amendment, repeal, or modification, whether or not any matter for which indemnification may be sought, shall have occurred.

6.9    Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Article 6, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Representative, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

6.10  No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Article 6 to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Representative to the extent the Representative has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement, vote, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

6.11  Prior Rights. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, (a) pursuant to the Reorganization Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the

Company and each of its subsidiaries is obligated to provide for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of, and advancement of fees and expenses to, Hawker Beechcraft, Inc.’s and its subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, or agents that served prior to February 15, 2013 at least to the same extent as was set forth in the organizational documents of each of Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of May 3, 2012, against any claims or causes of action, whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, (b) that such current and former directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder as Representatives in accordance with the terms hereof in furtherance in of the Company’s satisfaction of such obligations and (c) the Company shall not, and cause its subsidiaries to not, amend and/or restate this Agreement or any of the organizational documents of the Company or its subsidiaries after the date hereof to terminate, or in a manner which would materially adversely affect, any of the Company or its subsidiaries obligations to provide such indemnification rights to such directors, officers, employees, and agent; provided that this Article 6.11 is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 4.9 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December [   ], 2013, among the Company, the Member, Beech and Sky Intermediate Merger Sub, LLC (the “Merger Agreement”) and that this Article 6.11 is not intended to constitute or expand upon, and shall not be construed as constituting or expanding upon, representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement.

ARTICLE 7

Miscellaneous

7.1    Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise determined by the Member, the Company shall be a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as well as for any analogous state or local tax purposes), and the Member and the Company shall timely make any and all necessary elections and filings for the Company treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as well as for any analogous state or local tax purposes).

7.2    Amendments. Amendments to this Agreement and to the Certificate of Formation shall be approved in writing by the Member. An amendment shall become effective as of the date specified in the approval of the Member or if none is specified as of the date of such approval or as otherwise provided in the Act.

7.3    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way unless such invalid or unenforceable provision or clause shall be so significant as to materially affect the expectations of the Member regarding this Agreement. Otherwise, any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by the Member with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

7.4    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

7.5    Limited Liability Company. The Member intends to form a limited liability company and does not intend to form a partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other laws.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed this Agreement as of the day first above written.

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company has, by the unanimous vote of the board members present, (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable to and in the best interests of the Company and the owners of Units (each such owner, a “Member” and, collectively, the “Members”), (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) directed that, following its execution, the Merger Agreement and the Mergers be submitted to the Members necessary to obtain the Company Requisite Approval in accordance with the Act and the Operating Agreement and (iv) established a record date that is fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the Merger Agreement for purposes of obtaining the Company Requisite Approval; and

arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement, voting trust, power-of-attorney, attorney-in-fact, agent or otherwise, with respect to such Units, or (iii) take any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Undersigned Member’s obligations hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Undersigned Member may transfer any such Units to (x) any of its controlled Affiliates so long as such controlled Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this irrevocable proxy with respect to such Units and (y) to any other transferee so long as such third-party transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this irrevocable proxy with respect to such Units.

No Solicitation
