MEMBERS

Section 3.1      Members. The name, residence, business or mailing addresses, and the type and number of Units of each Member are set forth on Schedule A, as such Schedule shall be amended from time to time by the Managing Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, any reference in this Agreement to Schedule A shall be deemed to be a reference to Schedule A as amended and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Person listed on Schedule A (as in effect on the date hereof) upon (i) his, her or its execution of this Agreement or counterpart thereto and (ii) receipt by the Company of such Person’s Capital Contributions, if any, is hereby admitted to the Company as a Member and shall own the number and type of Units set forth opposite such Member’s name on Schedule A, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Managing Member may in its discretion issue certificates to the Members representing the Units held by each Member.

Section 3.2      Admission of Additional Members. The Company may admit additional Persons as Members, and such Persons shall make Capital Contributions, and may participate in the profits, losses, distributions, allocations and Capital Contributions upon such terms as are established by the Company. A Person shall be admitted as a Member at the time: (a) all conditions to such Person’s admission pursuant to this Agreement have been satisfied, including any conditions established by the Managing Member pursuant Section 7.2(f) and those set forth in Article IX, as applicable, as determined by the Managing Member, and (b) such Person executes this Agreement or a counterpart signature page to this Agreement.

Section 3.3      Voting Rights. Each Member shall be entitled to ten votes per Class A Unit that it holds with respect to any matters to which the Member holding such Units are entitled to vote.

Section 3.4      Limitation of Liability of Members.

(a)            Except as otherwise expressly required by the Act, a Member, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability in excess of (i) the amount of its Capital Contribution, (ii) its share of any undistributed profits and assets of the Company, (iii) its obligation to make other payments expressly provided for in this Agreement, and (iv) the amount of any distributions from the Company wrongfully distributed to it. It is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any Member shall be deemed a return of any money or other property in violation of the Act. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, a Member is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of the Company or any other Member.

A Member shall have no rights other than those specifically provided herein or the Act.

(c)            A Member or an employee, agent, director or officer of a Member may also be an employee, agent, director or officer of the Company. The existence of these relationships and acting in such capacities will not result in a Member being deemed to be participating in the control of the business of the Company or otherwise affect the liability of such Member or the Person so acting.

OBLIGATIONS, INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION

(a)            No Member (including the Managing Member) shall, in its capacity as a Member or Managing Member, have any duty to the Company or any other Member except as expressly set forth herein or in other written agreements. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and in accordance with applicable law, any and all fiduciary duties of the Members to the Company or to another Member or to another person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement shall be eliminated to the maximum extent permitted by law; provided, that the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing shall not be eliminated. No Member or Officer shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any loss or damage sustained by the Company or to any Member, unless the loss or damage shall have been the result of gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct by the Member or Officer in question. In performing his, her or its duties (if any), each such Person shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid) of the following other Persons or groups: one or more Officers or employees of the Company, any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company or the Managing Member; or any other Person who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Managing Member, in each case as to matters which such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s competence. No Member or Officer shall be personally liable under any judgment of a court, or in any other manner, for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Member, Officer or any combination of the foregoing. The waiver of duties and limitations of liability set forth in this Section 6.1 shall apply to each such Person’s capacity as a Member (including as the Managing Member) or Officer.

(b)            Any Member and any Affiliate of any Member may engage in or possess an interest in other profit-seeking or business ventures of any kind, nature or description, independently or with others, whether or not such ventures are competitive with the Company and the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Member. No Member who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Company shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company, and such Member shall not be liable to the Company or to the other Members for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Member pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby or thereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the activities of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

Section 6.2      Confidential Information. Without limiting the applicability of any other agreement to which any Member may be subject, no Member or Officer, directly or indirectly disclose or use at any time, either during his, her or its association or employment with the Company or for a period of twenty four (24) months thereafter, any Confidential Information of which such Member or Officer is or becomes aware. Each Member and Officer in possession of Confidential Information shall take all appropriate steps to safeguard such information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Notwithstanding the above, a Member or Officer may disclose Confidential Information to the extent (a) the disclosure is necessary for the Member or Officer and/or the Company’s agents, representatives, and advisors to fulfill their duties to the Company pursuant to this Agreement and/or other written agreements, (b) the disclosure is required or requested by any federal, state, provincial or other regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or is reasonably believed by such Member or Officer to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process and (c) necessary to enforce rights hereunder. No Member or Officer shall be prohibited from disclosing any Confidential Information to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to such Member or Officer and known by the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Member or Officer or any of its representatives or agents in violation of this Agreement, (ii) was or becomes available to such Member or Officer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its representatives or agents, provided that such source was not known by such Member or Officer, after reasonable inquiry, to be bound by any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates to keep such information confidential, or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such Member or Officer or any of its representatives or agents by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, or (iii) was in such Member’s or Officer’s possession prior to being furnished by or on behalf of the Company, provided the source of such information was not known by such Member or Officer, after reasonable inquiry, to be bound by any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates to keep such information confidential, or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such Member or Officer or any of its representatives or agents by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

Section 6.3      Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Article VI, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative (each, a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such Person, or a Person of which such Person is the legal representative, is or was a Member (including the Managing Member) or an Officer or an officer or member of the board of a Subsidiary, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (“Damages”), unless such Damages shall have been the result of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by such Person, in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Damage to the extent resulting from such gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Indemnification under this Article VI shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article VI shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals, inquiries or investigations arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 6.4      Advance Payment. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person (other than an Officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereof in respect of claims by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereof against such Officer in such Officer’s capacity as such) entitled to be indemnified under Section 6.3 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Person of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under Article VI and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.

Section 6.5      Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company, at the direction of the Managing Member, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses under Section 6.3 and Section 6.4.

Section 6.6      Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, the Company may pay or reimburse reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by an Officer, employee or agent in connection with his or her appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he or she is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.

Section 6.7      Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Member indemnified pursuant to this Article VI may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory) or under any agreement.

Section 6.8      Insurance. The Company shall obtain and maintain at all times thereafter, at its expense, insurance (with coverage limits customary for similarly situated companies) to protect itself and any Member, Officer or agent of the Company, and any member of the board (or governing body), officer or agent of any Subsidiary of the Company, who is or was serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a manager, representative, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under this Article VI.

Section 6.9      Savings Clause. If this Article VI 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 Person indemnified pursuant to this Article VI as to costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(ii)           at any time there are no members of the Company unless the Company is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Act; or

(iii)          the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under the Act.

(b)            Upon the dissolution of the Company as provided herein, the Company shall be wound up in the manner provided by Section 10.2.

Section 10.2    Winding Up, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets of the Company Upon Dissolution of the Company.

(a)            Upon dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall commence to wind up the Company’s affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities of the Company to its creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation. The Members shall be furnished with a statement prepared by a certified public accountant selected by the Managing Member at the expense of the Company, that shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of termination. The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed in the following order and priority:

(i)            first, to creditors of the Company, including Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of (A) all debts and liabilities of the Company, whether by payment thereof or the making of reasonable provision of payment thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, any loans or advances that may have been made by any of the members to the Company) and (B) the expenses of liquidation not otherwise adequately provided for, whether by payment thereof or the making of reasonable provision of payment thereof, which liabilities set forth in (A) and (B) may be satisfied by the setting up of any reserves that are determined by the Managing Member to be reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of, or in connection with, the Company; and

(ii)           second, to the Members in accordance with Section 8.4.

(b)           [Reserved].

(c)            The Members shall comply with all requirements of applicable law pertaining to the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the final distribution of its assets.

Section 10.3    Certificate of Cancellation.

(a)            If a dissolution of the Company occurs and all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company have been satisfied (whether by payment or reasonable provision for payment) and all of the remaining property and assets of the Company have been distributed, a certificate of cancellation shall be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the Act.

(b)            Upon cancellation of the Certificate by the filing of a certificate of cancellation or otherwise, this Agreement shall terminate, and the existence of the Company shall cease.

Section 10.4    Returns of Contributions Nonrecourse to Members. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, upon dissolution of the Company, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contributions made to the Company, and if the assets of the Company remaining after satisfaction (whether by payment or reasonable provision for payment) of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, such Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any Member, except as otherwise provided by law.
