first mailed to Company Shareholders and at the time of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(i) if the Contribution shall not have been consummated on or before September 30, 2013 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that no Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(i) if the failure of the Contribution to be consummated by the Outside Date was caused by such Party’s breach of this Agreement;

In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or the Bylaws, the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, in all cases, to the provisions of the MGCL, the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to any series of Preferred Stock) and the Bylaws; provided, however, that no amendments to the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or the Bylaws hereafter adopted by the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such amendments to the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or the Bylaws had not been adopted.

Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to any series of Preferred Stock) applicable thereto. Notwithstanding this Section 5.1, the number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to this Section 5.1.

Directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

Section 5.2 Extraordinary Actions. Notwithstanding any provision of law requiring any action to be taken or approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitled to cast a greater number of votes, any such action shall be effective and valid if taken or approved by the affirmative vote of holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

Section 5.3 Meetings of Stockholders.

(A) Until such date that Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. (“Tiptree”), its affiliates and any person who is an express assignee or designee of Tiptree in respect of its rights hereunder cease to own, in the aggregate, shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock representing more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock on a combined basis (the “Trigger Date”), any action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock of the Corporation having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prior to the Trigger Date, nominations and other business brought before stockholder meetings by Tiptree shall not be subject to any advance notice or similar procedures that may be set forth from time to time in the Bylaws, including, without limitation, the provisions of Article II, Section 10 or 11 of the Bylaws.

(B) From and after the Trigger Date:

(1) the power of the stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied, except as set forth in Section 5.3(B)(2); and

(2) any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of stock of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders or by a unanimous consent in writing or by electronic transmission by each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class, or, to the extent expressly permitted by the articles supplementary relating to one or more series of Preferred Stock, by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series, may be taken without a meeting by such class or series, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of such class or series entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Maryland, its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

(C) Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Board, the chairman of the Board, the chief executive officer or president of the Corporation.

Section 5.4 Authorization by Board of Stock Issuance. The Board may authorize the issuance from time to time of shares of stock of the Corporation of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, or securities or rights convertible into shares of its stock of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration as the Board may deem advisable (or without consideration in the case of a stock split or stock dividend), subject to such restrictions or limitations, if any, as may be set forth in the Charter or the Bylaws.

Section 5.5 Preemptive and Appraisal Rights. Except as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified shares of stock pursuant to this Section 5.5 or as may otherwise be provided by contract approved by the Board, no holder of shares of stock of the Corporation shall, as such holder, have any preemptive right to purchase or subscribe for any additional shares of stock of the Corporation or any other security of the Corporation which it may issue or sell. No holder of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to the right to fair value of their stock under Subtitle 2 of Title 3 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland unless a majority of the Board determines in advance that such rights will apply to one or more transactions.

Section 5.6 Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others.

(A) General. Each person (and such person’s heirs, executors or administrators) who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (brought in the right of the Corporation or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or a predecessor of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation, or a predecessor of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, nonprofit entity or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by provisions of the MGCL that may not be lawfully waived, as such provisions exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person or such heirs, executors or administrators (including any employee benefit plan,

pension plan or other similar or comparable capacity) in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that, except as may be provided in the Bylaws, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 5.6 shall, subject to the Bylaws, include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings made or commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring before or after its adoption.

(B) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of Maryland, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person described in Section 5.6(A) against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 5.6 or otherwise.

(C) Section 5.6 Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification conferred in this Section 5.6 shall neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise, both as to actions in such person’s official capacity and actions in any other capacity, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of any person whom the Corporation is obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 5.6(A) hereof shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Section 5.6 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to, and purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of, persons other than persons described in Section 5.6(A) hereof.

(D) Savings Clause. If this Section 5.6 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each person entitled to indemnification under Section 5.6(A) hereof to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 5.6 that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 5.7 Competition and Corporate Opportunities.

(A) General. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to Tiptree or any of its partners or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries) or any member of the Board who is not an employee of the Corporation, even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and, except as set forth in Section 5.7(B) hereto, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the foregoing persons shall have any duty to (i) disclose to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries any information related to its

business or opportunities, including acquisition opportunities, (ii) disclose to the Corporation or the Board confidential information regarding any corporate opportunity or other potential investment in such person or entity’s possession even if it is material and relevant to the Corporation and/or the Board, (iii) communicate or offer any such business opportunity to the Corporation or (iv) refrain from or in any respect be restricted in competing against the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in any business or as to any corporate opportunity or other potential investment, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, no such person or entity shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for breach of any duty by reason of (x) any such lack of disclosure or (y) the fact that such person directs any such opportunity to itself or another person or entity or does not communicate information regarding such opportunity to the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

(B) Interest of the Corporation. The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of the Corporation if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Corporation and Section 5.7(A) shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

(C) Notice and Consent; Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Tiptree. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Section 5.7. Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall in any way alter, modify or otherwise amend any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Tiptree.

Section 5.8 Certain Transactions. A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be disqualified by his office from dealing or contracting with the Corporation as a vendor, purchaser, employee, agent, or otherwise. No transaction or contract or act of the Corporation shall be void or voidable or in any way affected or invalidated by reason of the fact that any director or officer, or any entity of which any director or officer is a shareholder, partner, member or director is in any way interested in such transaction or contract or act. No director or officer shall be accountable or responsible to the Corporation for or in respect to any transaction or contract or act of the Corporation or for any gains or profits directly or indirectly realized by him by reason of the fact that he or any entity of which he is a shareholder, partner, member or director is interested in such transaction or contract or act; provided the fact that such director or officer or such entity is so interested shall have been disclosed or shall have been known to the Board or such members thereof as shall be present at any meeting of the Board at which action upon such contract or transaction or act shall have been taken. Any director may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board which shall authorize or take action in respect to any such contract or transaction or act, and may vote thereat to authorize, ratify or approve any such contract or transaction or act, and any officer of the Corporation may take any action within the scope of his authority respecting such contract or transaction or act with like force and effect as if he or any entity of which he is a shareholder, partner, member or director were not interested in such transaction or contract or act. Without limiting or qualifying the foregoing, if in any judicial or other inquiry, suit, cause, or proceeding, the question of whether a director or officer of the Corporation has acted in good faith is material, then notwithstanding any statute or rule of law or of equity to the contrary (if any there be), his good faith shall be presumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary by clear and convincing evidence.

To the extent permitted by Maryland law, the Board of Directors, without any action by the stockholders of the Corporation, may amend the Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Corporation has authority to issue. The Board of Directors may reclassify any unissued shares of Common Stock from time to time in one or more classes or series of stock.

Section 6.2 Preferred Stock.

(A) The Board is hereby expressly authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by applicable law, by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to cause to be filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (“SDAT”) articles supplementary with respect thereto establishing the rights, powers and preferences of each such series of Preferred Stock, including the following:

(2) the voting powers, full or limited, if any, of the shares of such series and the number of votes per share;

(3) the rights in respect of dividends on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on the payment of dividends;

(5) the terms and conditions (including the price or prices, which may vary under different conditions and at different redemption or purchase dates), if any, upon which all or any part of the shares of that series may be redeemed or purchased by the Corporation, and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on such redemption or purchase;

(6) the terms, if any, of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of that series;

The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. All shares of any one series of the Preferred Stock shall be alike in all respects.

(B) Except as otherwise required by law, holders of a series of Preferred Stock, as such, shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to such series). Except as may be provided by the Board in the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to such series) or by applicable law, shares of any series of Preferred Stock that have been redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or purchased by the Corporation, or which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of stock of any other class or series, shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board or as part of any other series of Preferred Stock.

(2) Each holder of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock (or fraction thereof) held by such holder, to a number of votes that is equal to the product of (x) the total number of Common Units held of record by such holder multiplied by (y) the Redemption Rate (as defined in the Operating Company LLC Agreement) on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote; provided, however, that, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6.3(A)(3), holders of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall have no voting power with respect to, and shall not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding classes or series (but not to all outstanding classes or series) of Common Stock (other than the Class B Common Stock) or Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected class or series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such classes or series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Charter (including any articles supplementary relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the MGCL.

(3) The holders of the outstanding shares of each class of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class upon any amendment to the Charter (including by merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar event, except that, it being understood that, any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination in which holders of Class B Common Stock are required to redeem their Common Units by any provision of the Operating Company LLC Agreement shall not be deemed an amendment hereof) that would alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of such class or series so as to affect them adversely.

(4) Except as otherwise required in the Charter or by applicable law, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters on which they are entitled to vote (or, if any holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as a single class with such holders of Preferred Stock).

Section 6.4 Dividends and Distributions. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over, or the right to participate with, the Class A Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and other distributions in cash, stock of any corporation or property of the Corporation, such dividends and other distributions may be declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation that are by law available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board in its discretion shall determine. Dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock.

(A) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and of the preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder. The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(B) Adjustments. The Corporation shall not accomplish any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of any class or series of the Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of all of the other classes or series of Common Stock.

(C) Retirement of Class B Common Stock. In the event that any outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall cease to be held by a holder of a Common Unit, such share shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class B Common Stock be transferred to the Corporation and thereupon shall be retired and cancelled and cease to be outstanding and may not be reissued by the Corporation, and all rights of a holder of such share shall terminate, except, if applicable, for the right of the holder to receive Class A Common Stock issuable upon the redemption of Common Units pursuant to the Operating Company LLC Agreement.

3. Registration Procedures.

3.1 Filings.

3.1.1 Filing of Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) prepare and file with the SEC the Shelf Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the resale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder, which shall comply as to form with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, (b) file the Shelf Registration Statement as provided for in Section 2.1.1, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared and remain effective for the period required by Section 2.1.1, (c) not take any action that would cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to contain a material misstatement or omission or to be not effective and usable for resale of Registrable Securities during the period that the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable, (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement to comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC, (e) cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto not

- 4 -

to contain any untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading during the period that the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable and (f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such other actions as shall enable the Holders to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate the Company to effect an underwritten offering on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities.

Following the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration (in each case in an electronic format, unless otherwise required by applicable law), without charge, such number of copies of the Shelf Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), the Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement shall have the right to request in writing that the Company modify any information contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining solely to such Holder or which such counsel to such Holder may reasonably request in order to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement complies with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such request; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to so modify any information unless the Company reasonably believes that failing to do so would cause the Prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

3.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 2.1.1.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness or qualification of the Shelf Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of any related Prospectus.

3.1.6 Earnings Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to its stockholders, as soon as practicable but not more than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder covering the twelve (12) month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement.

3.1.7 Listing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement to be designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Company are then designated.

3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of any suspension pursuant to Section 2.2 or the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.4(c) or (d), each Holder of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder receives notice that the suspension pursuant to Section 2.2 has been lifted, the stop order contemplated by Section 3.1.4(c) has been lifted or the Prospectus has been supplemented or amended as contemplated by Section 3.1.4(d) and, if so directed by the Company, each such Holder will destroy all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

3.3 Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, the Company shall pay the following costs and expenses (the “Registration Expenses”) incurred in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with

The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in this Section 3.3 shall apply irrespective of whether the Shelf Registration becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended.

3.4 Information. In connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. If a Holder fails to provide such information after reasonably requested, the Company may omit such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus.

4. Indemnification and Contribution.

4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, Affiliates, trustees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) such Holder of Registrable Securities from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or under any Blue Sky Filing, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to any Holder to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such Holder expressly for use therein.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless to the

- 7 -

fullest extent permitted by law the Company, and each of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, trustees and agents, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) against any Losses, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. Each Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds actually received by such Holder from sales of Registrable Securities giving rise to such obligations.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by any Holder.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any Loss or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Loss or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants or if such Indemnified Party or Parties determines in good faith that a conflict of interest exists and that therefore it is advisable for such Indemnified Party or Parties to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party or Parties, there may be legal defenses available to it or them which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party or Parties shall be entitled to separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s or Parties’ expense. If an Indemnifying Party or Parties is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party or Parties will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party or Parties (limited in each jurisdiction to one counsel for all Indemnified Parties under this

- 8 -

Agreement). No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party or Parties, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party or Parties are or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding and does not include any statement of admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party shall, without the prior written consent of any Indemnifying Party or parties, effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnifying Party or Parties are or could have been a party.

4.4 Contribution.

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless in respect of any Loss referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party or Parties, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party or Parties as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

4.4.2 The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnifying Party as a result of any Loss shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no Holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

4.4.4 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 4 are in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties hereunder, under applicable law or at equity, and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or any officer, employee, Affiliate, trustee, director, partner, member, attorney, agent or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

- 9 -

4.4.5 The indemnification required by this Section 4 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when reasonably detailed and itemized bills are received or Losses are incurred.

5. Miscellaneous.

5.1 Registration Rights to Others If the Company shall at any time hereafter provide to any holder of any securities of the Company rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act, such rights shall not be in conflict with or adversely affect any of the rights provided in this Agreement to the Holders.

5.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Any Holder may assign to any transferee of its Registrable Securities (to the extent that such securities continue to be Registrable Securities), its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such transfer or assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company to any such assignee, and no such assignee shall be deemed a Holder hereunder, unless and until the Company shall have received written notice of such transfer or assignment as herein provided and a written agreement of the assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any Persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 5 and this Section 5.2.

5.3 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable overnight courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.

5.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the

- 10 -

provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in multiple counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

5.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions among the parties, whether oral or written.

5.7 Modifications and Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and a Majority-In-Interest or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

5.8 Titles and Headings. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement.

5.9 Waivers and Extensions. Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive, provided, that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof or of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.

5.10 Remedies Cumulative. In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, each Holder of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of

- 11 -

such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

5.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

With respect to any matter, other than a matter for which the affirmative vote of a specified portion of all Units entitled to vote is required by the Delaware Act, the affirmative vote of the Units representing at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Units entitled to be voted at a meeting of Members at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Members. Notice shall be given at least 24 hours prior to any meeting of the Members. Notice may be waived before or after a meeting or by attendance without protest at such meeting. Notice may be by hand, telephone, electronic mail, overnight courier or the U.S. mail and shall be deemed given when received. The Members may conduct meetings by means of telephone and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Members at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if the Members holding at least a majority of the outstanding voting power entitled to vote on such action consent in writing to such action, except that, if, pursuant to the Delaware Act, such action requires the affirmative vote of a specified portion of all Units entitled to vote, the written consent of such specified portion of all Units shall be required. The Managing Member may adopt such other procedures governing meetings and the conduct of business as well as meetings of Members and any procedures to be used in connection with voting by Members (which voting may be by written consent of the percentage necessary to take such action) as it shall deem appropriate.

(e) No current or former Member shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.

(f) Loans by Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Member shall loan funds to the Company, then the making of such loans shall not result in any increase of the Capital Account balance of such Member. The amount of any such loan shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

(a) From and after [ ],¹ each Unitholder shall be entitled at any time and from time to time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to require the

¹	To be one year from date of the Agreement.

- 13 -

Company to redeem Common Units (the “Redeemed Units”), for a redemption price paid to such Unitholder (the “Redeeming Unitholder”) consisting of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that is equal to the product of the number of Common Units surrendered multiplied by the Redemption Rate (such redemption, a “Redemption”); provided, that the Managing Member shall have the right, at its option and sole discretion, to deliver to the Redeeming Unitholder in such Redemption, instead of all or any portion of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as determined above, the Cash Amount or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock as determined by the Managing Member in accordance with this Article IV.

(b)(i) A Unitholder shall exercise its right to Redemption as set forth in Section 4.01(a) above by delivering to Parent and to the Company a written redemption notice in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Redemption Notice”), duly executed by such holder or such holder’s duly authorized attorney, in each case delivered during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of Parent and of the Company. Together with such Redemption Notice, the Redeeming Unitholder shall surrender all of its Redeemed Units (and, if in certificated form, shall deliver the certificates of such Redeemed Units simultaneously with such Redemption Notice or shortly thereafter) and shall transfer to Parent all of its Designated Class B Shares (and, if in certificated form, shall deliver the certificates of such Designated Class B Shares simultaneously with such Redemption Notice or shortly thereafter) for cancellation, each free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances, and the Redeeming Unitholder shall represent in such Redemption Notice that such Redeemed Units and the Designated Class B Shares are free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances.

(ii) As promptly as practicable (but in any event within ten Business Days) following the delivery of such Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Common Stock or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Common Stock, at the principal executive offices of Parent, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon such Redemption, registered in the name of the relevant Redeeming Unitholder, and, if fewer than all Common Units represented by any certificate of Common Units (if in certificated form) and fewer than all shares of Class B Common Stock (if in certificated form) represented by any share certificate are Redeemed Units or Designated Class B Shares, then the Company shall issue and deliver to such Redeeming Unitholder a new certificate representing the Common Units not subject to Redemption and Parent shall issue and deliver to such Redeeming Unitholder a new certificate representing the shares of Class B Common Stock not subject to Redemption, in each case registered in the name of the relevant Redeeming Unitholder; provided, that, if the Common Units or the Class B Common Stock is issued by the Company or by Parent, in book entry form, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall reflect or cause the transfer of the Redeemed Units or the Designated Class B Shares, respectively to be reflected in the applicable books and records of the Company or Parent; provided, further, that if Parent exercised its right to deliver the Cash Amount or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such cash in accordance with this Section 4.01(b) and the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered in accordance with this Section 4.01(b) the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any. To the extent that the Class A Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the Company will, subject to Section 4.01(c) below, upon the written instruction of a Redeeming Unitholder, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such Redeeming Unitholder, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Redeeming Unitholder.

- 14 -

(iii) Parent shall take such actions as may be required to ensure the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Section 4.01(b) and the foregoing Section 4.01(a), including the issuance and sale of shares of Class A Common Stock to or for the account of the Company in Redemption for the delivery to Parent by the Company of a number of Common Units that is equal to the number of Redeemed Units surrendered by a Redeeming Unitholder.

(iv) On the date of the delivery of a Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 4.01(b)(i) (each, a “Redemption Date”), the Redemption will be effective, the Redeeming Unitholder shall cease to have any rights as a holder of such Common Units and the Designated Class B Shares held by the Redeeming Unitholder shall be automatically cancelled and shall have no further rights or privileges and shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose, and such Redeeming Unitholder shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of the Class A Common Stock issued in Redemption for such Common Units or entitled to the payment of the Cash Amount if and to the extent Parent has exercised its right to deliver the Cash Amount in such Redemption.

(c) The Company and each Redeeming Unitholder shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Redemption, whether or not any such Redemption is ultimately consummated, except that the Company shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Redemption; provided, however, that if any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Unitholder that requested the Redemption, then such Unitholder and/or the person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to the Company the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Redemption or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Redemption shall be permitted (and, if attempted, shall be void ab initio) if, in the good faith determination of Parent or of the Company, such a Redemption would pose a material risk that the Company would be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Unitholder shall not be entitled to redeem Units pursuant to this Section 4.01 to the extent Parent determines that such Redemption (i) would be prohibited by law, order or regulation or (ii) would not be permitted under any other agreements with Parent or its subsidiaries to which such Unitholder may be a party or any written policies of Parent related to unlawful or improper trading (including, without limitation, the policies of Parent relating to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Disposition Event is approved and consummated in accordance with applicable law, at the request of the Company (or following such Disposition Event, its successor) or Parent (or

- 15 -

following such Disposition Event, its successor), each Unitholder shall, at any time and from time to time after, or simultaneously with, the consummation of such Disposition Event, be required to effect a Redemption of all of such Unitholder’s Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock, in accordance with Section 4.01(a). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a Disposition Event, in no event shall the holders (other than Parent and its subsidiaries) of Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock be entitled to receive aggregate consideration for each Common Unit and corresponding share of Class B Common Stock that is greater than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock.

Section 4.02 Adjustment. Except as set forth in Section 3.05:

(a) The Redemption Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (i) any subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock; or (ii) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common Units and the Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, respectively.

(b) If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then, upon any subsequent Redemption, a Redeeming Unitholder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Redeeming Unitholder would have received if such Redemption had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, this Agreement shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Agreement shall apply to the Common Units held by the Unitholders as of the date hereof, as well as any Common Units hereafter acquired by a Unitholder. This Agreement shall apply to, mutatis mutandis, and all references to “Common Units” shall be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of the Company which may be issued in respect of, in Redemption for or in substitution of Common Units by reason of any distribution or dividend, split, reverse split, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, redemption (other than a Redemption) or other transaction.

Section 4.03 Reclassification Events. If a Reclassification Event occurs, Parent or its successor, as the case may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary, amend this Agreement,

- 16 -

and enter into any necessary supplementary or additional agreements, to ensure that, following the effective date of the Reclassification Event: (i) the Redemption rights of holders of Common Units set forth in this Agreement provide that each Common Unit is redeemable for the same amount and same type of property, securities or cash (or combination thereof) that one share of Class A Common Stock becomes redeemable for or converted into as a result of the Reclassification Event and (ii) Parent or the successor to Parent, as applicable, is obligated to deliver such property, securities or cash upon such Redemption. Parent shall not consummate or agree to consummate any Reclassification Event unless the successor Person, if any, becomes obligated to comply with the obligations of Parent under this Agreement to the extent that any of the rights or obligations of Parent under this Agreement are assigned or otherwise transferred to the successor Person. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.03 shall not affect the right of the Company or Parent to require a Redemption pursuant to this Agreement upon the consummation of a Disposition Event.

Section 4.04 Class A Common Stock to be Issued. Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon a Redemption, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable upon any such Redemption; provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Redemption of the Common Units by delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock which are held in the treasury of Parent or the Company or any of their subsidiaries or by delivery of purchased shares of Class A Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of Parent or any subsidiary thereof). Parent and the Company covenant that all Class A Common Stock issued upon an Redemption will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 4.05 Distributions With Respect to Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock and/or the cash that a Redeeming Unitholder is entitled to receive under Section 4.01(a) shall not be adjusted on account of any distributions previously made with respect to the Redeemed Units or dividends previously paid with respect to Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that if a Redemption Date occurs subsequent to the record date for any distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units but prior to payment of such distribution, the Redeeming Unitholder shall be entitled to receive such distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units on the date that it is made notwithstanding that the Redeeming Unitholder transferred and surrendered the Redeemed Units to Parent prior to such date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Unitholder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of a single record date, distributions or dividends both on Redeemed Units and on Class A Common Stock received by such member in the Redemption of such Redeemed Units.

Section 4.06 Books and Records. Upon consummation of a Redemption contemplated by this Article IV, each Common Unit transferred to the Company for the account of Parent at such Redemption shall thereafter be registered in the name of Parent as a Common Unit, and the Managing Member shall modify the applicable books and records of the Company and Annex A (Schedule of Members) to this Agreement in accordance with the terms therein to reflect such transfer.

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS

Section 5.01 Management of the Company.

(a) The Members hereby delegate to the Managing Member the sole right to manage the business of the Company and to have all powers and rights necessary, appropriate or advisable to effectuate and carry out the purposes and business of the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall have any authority to act for or bind the Company but shall have only the right to vote on or approve the actions herein specified to be voted on or approved by the Members. The Managing Member shall be the “manager” of the Company for the purposes of the Delaware Act. Any action taken by the Managing Member shall constitute the act of, and serve to bind, the Company. Persons dealing with the Company are entitled to rely conclusively on the power and authority of the Managing Member, as set forth in this Agreement. The Managing Member may not be removed without the consent of the Managing Member.

(b) The Managing Member shall appoint such officers of the Company, who may but need not be Members, to such terms and to perform such functions as the Managing Member shall determine in its sole discretion, and the Managing Member may appoint, employ, or otherwise contract with such other persons or entities for the transaction of the business of the Company or the performance of services for or on behalf of the Company. The Managing Member may delegate to any such officer, person or entity such authority to act on behalf of the Company as the Managing Member may from time to time deem appropriate. In particular, the Managing Member may appoint an officer to execute any contract or other agreement or document on behalf of the Company; provided, that no officer may execute and file on behalf of the Company with the Secretary of State (i) any certificates of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Formation, (ii) one or more restated certificates of formation and certificates of merger or consolidation or (iii) upon the dissolution and completion of winding up of the Company, a certificate of cancellation canceling the Company’s Certificate of Formation, without having obtained the consent of the Members representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Units.

(c) Any action taken by an officer designated by the Managing Member pursuant to authority delegated to such officer shall constitute the act of and serve to bind the Company. Persons dealing with the Company are entitled to rely conclusively on the power and authority of any officer as set forth in this Agreement and any instrument designating such officer and the authority delegated to him or her therein.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in the resolution of the Managing Member electing any officer, each officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Any officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Managing Member. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, and unless otherwise specified therein no acceptance of such resignation shall be necessary to make it effective. The Managing Member may remove any officer with or without cause at any time. Any such removal shall be without prejudice to the contractual rights of such officer, if any, with the Company, but the election of any officer shall not of itself create contractual rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company by death, resignation, removal or otherwise may be filled by the Managing Member.

- 18 -

(e) In connection with the performance of its duties as the manager of the Company, the Managing Member acknowledges that it will owe to the Members the same fiduciary duties as it would owe to the stockholders of a Delaware corporation if it were a member of the board of directors of such a corporation and the Members were stockholders of such corporation. The parties acknowledge that the Managing Member will take action through its board of directors, and that the members of the Managing Member’s board of directors will owe comparable fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Managing Member. The Managing Member will use all commercially reasonable and appropriate efforts and means, as determined in good faith by the Managing Member, to minimize any conflicts of interest between the Members and the stockholders of the Managing Member and to effectuate any transaction that involves or affects any of the Company, the Managing Member, the Members and/or the stockholders of the Managing Member in a manner that does not (i) disadvantage the Members or their interests relative to the stockholders of the Managing Member, or (ii) advantage the stockholders of the Managing Member relative to the Members, or (iii) treats the Members and the stockholders of the Managing Member differently.

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS

Section 6.01 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Company shall establish and maintain a separate “Capital Account” for each Member according to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For this purpose, the Company may, upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such regulation and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company property.

(b) “Profits” and “Losses” mean, for each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss for such Fiscal Year, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments (without duplication):

(i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(1)(B), Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property.

- 19 -

(iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

(iv) Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property’s Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation 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).

(vi) Items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company with respect to any property distributed to a Member shall be computed as if the Company had sold such property on the date of such distribution at a price equal to its Fair Market Value at that date.

(vii) The Members’ Capital Accounts will normally be adjusted on an annual or other periodic basis as determined by the Managing Member, but the Capital Accounts may be adjusted more often if a new Member is admitted to the Company or if circumstances otherwise make it advisable in the judgment of the Managing Member.

Section 6.02 Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to any other Member or the Company any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the Company).

Section 6.03 No Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to receive interest from the Company in respect of any positive balance in its Capital Account, and no Member shall be liable to pay interest to the Company in respect of any negative balance in its Capital Account.

Section 6.04 No Withdrawal. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Section 6.05 Distributions and Allocations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall make distributions of cash or other assets to the Members in respect of their Units at any time and from time to time as determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion; provided, that such distributions are permitted under any lending agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and under applicable law. Except as, and to the extent, provided in the terms and conditions of any new Units authorized and issued by the Company after the date first above written, Distributions shall be made to the Members holding Common Units in the proportion that the number of Common Units held by each such Member bears to the aggregate number of all outstanding Common Units.

- 20 -

(b) The Members shall look solely to the assets of the Company for any Distributions, whether liquidating Distributions or otherwise. If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge, or the provision for payment or discharge, of the debts, obligations, and other liabilities of the Company are insufficient to make any Distributions, no Member shall have any recourse against the separate assets of any other Member (except as otherwise expressly provided herein).

(c) If the Company has, pursuant to any clear and manifest accounting or similar error, paid any Member an amount in excess of the amount to which it is entitled pursuant to this Section 6.05, such Member shall reimburse the Company to the extent of such excess, without interest, within 30 days after demand by the Company.

(d) All amounts withheld and paid pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local, or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or the Members shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld pursuant to this Section 6.05(d) for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations to the Members, and to pay over to any federal, state, local, or foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state, local, or foreign law. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such distributable amounts, then such Member and any successor to such Member’s Interest shall pay the amount of such excess to the Company as a contribution to the capital of the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.05(a), the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, may authorize that (i) the Company pay cash to the Managing Member (which payment shall be made without pro rata distributions to the other Members) in exchange for the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of the Managing Member’s Units to the extent that such cash payment is used to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Interests issued by the Managing Member in accordance with Section 3.04, and (ii) cash distributions be made to the Managing Member (which distributions shall be made without pro rata distributions to the other Members) to the extent that the Managing Member determines that expenses or other obligations of the Managing Member are related to its role as the Managing Member, or to the business and affairs of the Company, or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, including (A) operating, administrative and other similar costs incurred by the Managing Member, including payments in respect of indebtedness and preferred stock (to the extent economically equivalent indebtedness or Units were not issued to the Managing Member) and payments pursuant to any legal, tax, accounting and other professional fees and expenses (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any tax liabilities of the Managing Member), (B) any judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or other costs and expenses in respect of any claims against, or any litigation or proceedings involving, the Managing Member, (C) fees and expenses related to any securities offering, investment or acquisition transaction (whether or not successful) authorized by the board of directors of the Managing Member and (D) other fees and expenses in connection with the

- 21 -

maintenance of the existence of the Managing Member (including any costs or expenses associated with being a public company listed on a national securities exchange). For the avoidance of doubt, distributions made under this Section 6.05(e) may not be used to pay or facilitate dividends or distributions on any Equity Interests of the Managing Member.

Section 6.06 Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.07, Profits and Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

Section 6.07 Special Allocations.

(a) Nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(b)(1)) shall be allocated pro rata to the holders of Common Units. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be specially allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This Section 6.07(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease during any Taxable Year in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 6.07(b) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c) If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, then Profits for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 6.07(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(d) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset, pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Section 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 specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulation Section 1 .704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

- 22 -

(e) The allocations set forth in Sections 6.07(a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits and Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 6.08 Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as provided in Sections 6.08(b), (c) and (d), the income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company will be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts; provided, that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in accordance with the traditional method specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) in accordance with the traditional method specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

(d) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.08 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, Distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

- 23 -

(a) Except for Transfers to Permitted Transferees, no Member may sell, transfer, convey, contribute, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (collectively, a “Transfer”) all or any part of its Units (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law), directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Managing Member. Any Transfer in accordance with this Article VII shall be recognized by and recorded on Annex A hereto. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.01(a), all or any portion of a Member’s Units are Transferred in violation of this Article VII, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, then without limiting any other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, the purported transferee of such Units (or portion thereof) shall not be admitted to the Company as a Member or be entitled to any rights as a Member hereunder, and the transferor will continue to be bound by all obligations hereunder, unless and until the Managing Member consents in writing to such admission, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Managing Member’s sole discretion. Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Units in violation of this Section 7.01(a) shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Section 7.01 shall not apply to the Transfer of any capital stock of the Managing Member; provided, that no shares of Class B Common Stock may be Transferred unless a corresponding number of Common Units are Transferred therewith in accordance with this Agreement and, to the extent that any Member Transfers Common Units, it shall Transfer to the transferee a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock.

(b) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, including the provisions of this Section 7.01, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of Units by any Member be made (i) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own Units; (ii) if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company such Transfer presents a material risk that such Transfer would cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership or to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code for federal income tax purposes; (iii) if such Transfer would constitute a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code); (iv) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise cause the Company to be subject to regulation under ERISA; (v) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Units pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vi) if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, each as amended (or any succeeding law); (vii) to the extent requested by the Managing Member, the Company does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member, as determined in the Managing Member’s sole discretion; or (viii) if such Transfer violates any applicable law.

- 24 -

(c) Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the assignee. Unless and until an assignee becomes a Member pursuant to this Agreement, the assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable law, other than the rights granted specifically to assignees pursuant to this Agreement and to have the other rights granted to assignees pursuant to the Delaware Act; provided, that, without relieving the transferring Member from any such limitations or obligations and as more fully described in Section 7.01(d), such assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Member contained herein by which a Member would be bound on account of the ownership of Units by the assignee (including the obligation, if any, to make Capital Contributions on account of such Units), irrespective of whether such assignee executes a Joinder Agreement.

(d) Any Member who shall Transfer any Units shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Member with respect to such Units, except that unless and until the assignee is admitted as a Member by executing a Joinder Agreement on or after the effective date of such Transfer (the “Admission Date”), (i) such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect to such Units, including the obligation (together with its assignee pursuant to Section 7.01(c)), if any, to make and return Capital Contributions on account of such Units or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and privileges of such Member with respect to such Units for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units in the Company from any liability of such Member to the Company that may exist on the Admission Date from any breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in any other agreements with the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer shall be permitted without a prior determination of the Managing Member that such Transfer would not reasonably be expected to cause the Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b). The Company shall take all actions reasonably available to it under this Agreement as in effect on the date hereof to avoid treatment of the Company as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b).

Section 7.02 Additional Members. The Managing Member shall have the sole right to admit additional Members upon such terms and conditions, at such time or times, and for such Capital Contributions as the Managing Member shall in its sole discretion determine, and after such Person furnishes to the Managing Member an executed Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and such other documents or instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Member; provided, that, irrespective of whether such Person executes a Joinder Agreement, it shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Member contained herein by which a Member would be bound on account of the ownership of Units. Such admission shall automatically become effective on the date on which such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the Company. In connection with any such admission, the Managing Member shall amend Annex A hereof to reflect the name, address, and Capital Contribution of the additional Member.

ARTICLE VIII

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 8.01 Dissolution. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03 of this Agreement, the Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up and terminated upon the first to occur of the following:

(a) the determination by the Managing Member and its recommendation to the Member(s) to dissolve the Company; or

(b) the occurrence of any event causing a dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.

The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional or substitute Members or in the event of a withdrawal, retirement, resignation or expulsion of a Member from the Company or upon the death, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member, and upon and after any such admission, withdrawal, retirement, resignation, expulsion, death, bankruptcy or dissolution the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Liquidation of Company Interests. (a) Upon dissolution, the Company shall be liquidated in an orderly manner. Unless the Managing Member shall otherwise determine, the Managing Member shall act as the liquidator to wind up the affairs of the Company pursuant to this Agreement and terminate the Company. The costs of liquidation shall be borne by the Company. Prior to final distribution and termination, if the liquidator is not the Managing Member, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company and its assets with all of the power and authority of the Managing Member. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(i) the liquidator shall pay, satisfy and discharge all debts, obligations, and other liabilities of the Company to its creditors (including, without limitation, all sales commissions or other expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, establishing cash reserves to be held in escrow for contingent or unforeseen liabilities of the Company, in such amounts and for such holding periods as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

(ii) after payment or provision for payment of all of the Company’s liabilities has been made in accordance with subparagraph (i), (A) a final allocation of all items of income, gain, loss, and expense shall be made to the Members (including the Managing Member) and (B) all remaining cash and other property shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances. Any non-cash assets distributed to the Members shall first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with Sections 6.06 and 6.07.

- 26 -

(b) In making such distributions, the liquidator shall allocate each type of liquidation asset (i.e., cash or cash equivalents, units of a Subsidiary, etc.) among the Members ratably based upon the aggregate amounts to be distributed with respect to the Units held by each such Member.

(c) The distribution of cash and/or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.02 constitutes a complete return to such Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its interest in the Company and the Company’s property. This Section 8.02 constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act.

(d) Upon completion of the distribution of the Company’s assets as provided herein, the Company shall be terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Managing Member (or such other Person or Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take all such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.02.

(e) A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to this Article VIII in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

(f) The liquidator shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to any Member (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets).

Section 8.03 Continuation of the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, the occurrence of any event of dissolution under Section 8.01 above shall not dissolve the Company if within 90 days after the occurrence of such event of withdrawal, the business of the Company is continued by the agreement of all remaining Members.

ARTICLE IX

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.01 Limitation on Liability. 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 (including the Managing Member) of the Company shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member.

Section 9.02 Indemnification of Managing Member, Officers and Agents.

(a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of

- 27 -

any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all claims, damages, judgments, fines, settlements, expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorney fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative that relate to the operation of the Company incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was the Managing Member or is or was serving as an officer, employee or agent of the Company; provided, that (unless the Managing Member otherwise consents) no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, liabilities and losses suffered that are ultimately determined by a final court determination to result from such Indemnified Person’s bad faith or willful misconduct. Expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding shall to the extent of available funds be paid or reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking satisfactory to the Managing Member by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a final court determination that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(b) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 9.02 shall, without duplication, be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, determination of the Managing Member or otherwise and shall extend to such Person’s heirs (in case of an individual), successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(c) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified Person against any expense, liability or loss described in Section 9.02(a) above whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this Section 9.02.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this Section 9.02), any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 9.02 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision from which there is no right of appeal by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company.

(e) If this Section 9.02 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 9.02 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 9.02 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(f) The provisions of this Section 9.02 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons and their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 9.02 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and

- 28 -

shall not in any way affect the Company’s obligations to any Indemnified Person under this Section 9.02 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.

Section 9.03 Other Business of Members. Subject to any agreement entered into by any Member, any Affiliate of a Member, or any director, officer, employee, consultant, agent, member, partner or stockholder of any Member or any of its Affiliates and the Company, any Member, any Affiliate of a Member or any director, officer, employee, consultant, agent, member, partner or stockholder of a Member or any of its Affiliates: (i) shall be permitted to have, and may presently or in the future have, investments or other business relationships with entities engaged in the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than through the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (an “Other Business”), (ii) may have and may develop a strategic relationship with businesses that are and may be competitive or complementary with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) will not be prohibited by virtue of their investments in the Company or the Managing Member or their service on the Managing Member’s board of directors from pursuing and engaging in any such activities, and (iv) will not be obligated to inform, offer or present the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Managing Member of any such opportunity, relationship or investment even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Company or the Managing Member could be taken by the Company or the Managing Member. Furthermore, the other Members will not acquire or be entitled to any interest or participation in any Other Business as a result of the participation therein of any Member, and the involvement of any Member in any Other Business will not constitute a conflict of interest by such Persons with respect to the Company or its Members or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
