Each Manager shall be appointed from time to time by the Member. A Manager shall hold office until such Manager’s successor shall have been appointed, or until the earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification of such Manager. The Member may increase the number of Managers at any time or from time to time. At any time at which there is more than one Manager, each Manager shall have one vote in all matters to come before the Board of Managers. The provisions of Section 6.4 through Section 6.11 apply (i) when more than one Manager is serving and (ii) with respect to any committee established by the Board of Managers.

6.3 Initial Board. The initial Board of Managers shall be appointed by the Member.

6.4 Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held at the Principal Office or at such other place as may be agreed by the Managers from time to time.

6.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of the Board of Managers may be adjourned from time to time to another date, time and place. If any meeting of the Board of Managers is so adjourned, no notice as to such adjourned meeting need be given if the date, time and place at which the meeting will be reconvened are announced at the time of adjournment.

6.8 Notice of Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of each meeting of the Board of Managers, stating the date, time and place and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes, shall be given at least five days and not more than 90 days prior to the meeting to every member of the Board of Managers. A member of the Board of Managers may waive notice of the date, time, place and purpose or purposes of a meeting of the Board of Managers. A waiver of notice is effective whether given before, at or after the meeting, and whether given in writing, orally or by attendance. Attendance by a Manager at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, unless the Manager objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or objects before a vote on an item of business because the item may not lawfully be considered at that meeting and does not participate in the consideration of the item at that meeting.

6.9 Quorum. A majority of the members of the Board of Managers constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at each meeting of the Board of Managers.

6.10 Absent Managers. A member of the Board of Managers may give advance written consent or opposition to a proposal to be acted on at a meeting of the Board of Managers. If such member is not present at the meeting, such consent or opposition to a proposal does not constitute presence for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but such consent or opposition shall be counted as a vote in favor of or against the proposal and shall be entered in the minutes or other record of action at the meeting, if the proposal acted on at the meeting is substantially the same or has substantially the same effect as the proposal to which the member has consented or objected.

6.11 Conference Communications. Any or all of the Managers may participate in any meeting of the Board of Managers, or of any duly constituted committee thereof, by any means of communication through which the participating Managers may simultaneously hear each other during such meeting. For the purposes of establishing a quorum and taking any action at the meeting, Managers participating pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be deemed present in person at the meeting; and the place of the meeting shall be the place of origination of the conference telephone conversation or other comparable communication technique.

6.12 Removal. Any Manager may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the action of the Member.

6.13 Acts of Managers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Managers shall take action by the affirmative vote of (i) the sole Manager or (ii) those Managers who have the power to vote 51% of all votes held by the Managers, as the case may be, and any such act shall be deemed to be the action of the Board of Managers for all purposes of this Agreement and the Act.

6.14 Written Action. Any action which might be taken by the sole Manager or at a meeting of the Board of Managers, or any duly constituted committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if done in writing and signed by, as the case may be, the sole Manager or a number of Managers, or committee members, whose approval would be sufficient to approve the action at a meeting at which all of the Managers (or such committee) were present.

6.15 Proxies. A Manager may cast or authorize the casting of a vote by filing a written appointment of proxy with the Chief Executive Officer at or before the meeting at which the appointment is to be effective. Any copy of the original of such appointment may be filed in lieu of the original if it is a complete and legible reproduction of the entire original and the filing may be made by any means of transmission so long as the transmission contains information sufficient to determine that the Manager authorized such transmission.

6.16 Committees. (a) A resolution approved by the Board of Managers may establish committees having the authority of the Board of Managers in the management of the business of the Company to the extent provided in the resolution. A committee shall consist of one or more Persons, who need not be members of the Board of Managers. Committees are subject to the direction and control of, and vacancies in the membership thereof shall be filled by, the Board of Managers.

(b) A majority of the members of a committee present at a meeting is a quorum for the transaction of business, unless a larger or smaller proportion or number is provided in the resolution of the Board of Managers creating the committee.

6.17 Compensation. Managers shall not be compensated by the Company for serving in such capacity. The Company shall bear the expenses, if any, incurred by each Manager’s attendance at meetings of the Board of Managers and shall reimburse Managers for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the course of providing services for the Company.

Article 8

Indemnification

8.1 Indemnification. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Manager and Named Officer, and the Member and each of the directors, employees, partners, agents and Affiliates of the Member (individually, an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified, held harmless and defended by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and other amounts paid in settlement, incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee, as a party or otherwise, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, arising out of or in connection with the business or the operation of the Company and by reason of the Indemnitee’s status as a Manager, Named Officer, Member or director, employee, partner, agent or Affiliate of the Member, regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to be a Manager or Named Officer of the Company or a Member or director, employee, partner, agent or Affiliate of the Member at the time any such loss, claim, damage, liability or other expense is paid or incurred if

(i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful;

(ii) the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute intentional misconduct or a material breach of the terms of this Agreement; and

(iii) the Indemnitee’s conduct did not involve a transaction from which the Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to the standards specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 8.1(a). To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Section 8.1 shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the

Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount unless it is determined that such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to this Section 8.1.

(b) The indemnification provided by this Section 8.1 shall be in addition to any other rights to which any Indemnitee may be entitled under any other agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Managers, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitees.

(c) Any indemnification under this Section 8.1 shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Company and no Indemnitee shall have any recourse against the Member with respect to such indemnification.

(d) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 8.1 merely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies, if the transaction was not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and the conduct of the Indemnitee satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a).

(e) The Company may, but shall have no obligation to, purchase and maintain insurance covering any potential liability of the Indemnitees for any actions or omissions for which indemnification is permitted hereunder, including such types of insurance (including extended coverage liability and casualty and workers’ compensation) as would be customary for any person engaged in a similar business, and may name the Indemnitees as additional insured parties thereunder.

8.2 Indemnification Procedures; Survival. (a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action that may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, the Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing within 15 days thereafter; provided, however, that any omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it of any liability for indemnification hereunder as to the particular item for which indemnification may then be sought (except to the extent that the failure to give notice shall have been materially prejudicial to the Company) nor from any other liability that it may have to any Indemnitee.

(b) An Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action as to which indemnification may be sought under any provision of this Agreement and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Company has failed to assume the defense thereof and employ counsel within a reasonable period of time after being given the notice required above or (iii) the Indemnitee has been advised by its counsel that representation of such Indemnitee and other parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with any one

such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnitees having actual or potential differing interests with the Company, unless but only to the extent, the Indemnitees have actual or potential differing interests with each other.

(c) The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnitee in any such action, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee to the extent provided above from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) Any amendment or repeal of this Article 8 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnitee who was serving at the time of such amendment or repeal, and such rights and protections shall survive such amendment or repeal with respect to events that occurred before such amendment or repeal.

(e) The indemnification obligations set forth in this Article 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

the Company for any purpose hereunder, but the Company shall be obligated to the Member for the amount of any such loans pursuant to the terms thereof.

11.3 Creditor’s Interest in the Company. No creditor who makes a loan to the Company shall have or acquire at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in the profits, capital or property of the Company, other than such interest as may be accorded to a secured creditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not prohibit in any manner whatsoever a secured creditor from participating in the profits of operation or gross or net sales of the Company or in the gain on sale or refinancing of the Company, all as may be provided in its loan or security agreements.

Article 12

Liability; Tax Status

12.1 Liability of the Member. Except as otherwise provided in the Act, the Member, as such, shall have no personal liability whatsoever to the Company or any of the creditors of the Company for the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the Company or any of the Company’s losses beyond the Member’s Capital Contribution and, solely to the extent and for the period required by applicable law, the amount of the Member’s Capital Contribution, if any, which is returned to it.

12.2 Tax Status. The Member intends that the Company will be classified solely for federal income tax purposes as an “eligible entity” that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(a).

Article 13

Allocation of Income, Gains and Losses; Distributions

The income, profits, gains, losses, tax credits of the Company and distributions of cash or property of the Company to the Member shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as if the Company were a division of the Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-2(a). Distributions shall be made to the Member at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Board of Managers.

Article 14
