The Members acting through the Management Committee shall have the authority to make all decisions affecting the business and affairs of the Company as fully and completely as if the Members were themselves making such decisions. Each Member recognizes and agrees, however, that the representatives on the Management Committee are acting exclusively on behalf of the Member they represent, respectively, and that such representatives shall not, therefore, have any personal liability by reason of serving as a representative of such Member.

(c) Decisions. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any actions required or permitted to be taken by the Management Committee shall be so taken only either (i) with the approval of a Majority of Representatives at a meeting of the Management Committee or (ii) by Unanimous Written Consent without a meeting pursuant to Section 2.01(i).

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Member hereby agrees and covenants that it shall direct its representatives on the Management Committee to execute any minutes relating to actions that were taken in accordance with this Section 2.01(c) regardless of whether such Member voted in favor of the action.

(d) Meetings. Regular meetings of the Management Committee shall be held at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place(s) as are designated by the Management Committee) at such times as shall be designated from time to time by the Management Committee.

(e) Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Management Committee may be called by or at the request of any representative and shall be held at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place(s) as may be designated by the Management Committee). The representative calling any special meeting of the Management Committee may designate any reasonable time for the holding of the special meeting.

another. Participation in a meeting pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement.

(g) Notice and Attendance. Notice of any meeting of, or of any action taken without a meeting pursuant to Section 2.01(i) by, the Management Committee shall be given as far in advance of the meeting as is reasonably practicable. Representatives, absent exigent circumstances, shall use their best efforts to give any such notice at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such meeting, unless otherwise agreed by the representatives, and to attend all meetings of the Management Committee.

(h) Quorum. A quorum shall be required to conduct any business at any meeting of the Management Committee, and shall be deemed present at any such meeting so long as at least one representative of each Member is in attendance (whether in person or otherwise).

(i) Actions Without Meetings. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Management Committee may be taken without a meeting with Unanimous Written Consent, which consent shall set forth the actions to be so taken. Any such Unanimous Written Consent shall have the same effect as an act of a Majority of Representatives at a properly called and constituted meeting of the Management Committee. Copies of any such written consent shall be delivered promptly to all representatives.

(j) Execution of Documents. Except as provided in Section 2.03 below, all contracts, agreements and other documents or instruments affecting or relating to the business and affairs of the Company may be executed on the Company’s behalf only by the Members, or such other person(s) as may be designated by the Management Committee and without execution by any other Member.

(k) Unauthorized Actions. None of the Members or officers of the Company, without the prior consent of the Management Committee, shall take any action on behalf of or in the name of the Company, or enter into any commitment or obligation binding upon the Company, except for (i) actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, (ii) actions by any Member (or officer) within the scope of such Member’s (or officer’s) authority expressly granted hereunder, and (iii) actions authorized by the Management Committee in the manner set forth herein. Each Member hereby indemnifies, defends, protects and holds wholly harmless the other Members and each such other Member’s Affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, constituent members, Members, employees, agents, and representatives (including the representative(s) to the Management Committee appointed by such Member) from and against any and all losses, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of the breach of any of the foregoing provisions by such indemnifying Member, any representative of the Management Committee selected by such Member or such Member’s Affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, constituent members, Members, employees, agents, or representatives.

Except as otherwise provided within any Operating Budget, the Operating Budget may not be materially modified without the prior approval of the Management Committee.

2.06

Removal of the Operating Member

(a) Upon Removal Event. Upon the occurrence of a Removal Event, then at any time until the Removal Event has been cured by the Operating Member, the Management Committee shall have the right to remove Buckingham as the Operating Member of the Company by delivering written notice (“Removal Notice”) thereof at any time following the occurrence of a Removal Event in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06. As used herein, the term “Removal Event” means the occurrence of any of the Buy-Sell Events set forth in Section 7.01 with respect to which the Operating Member is the Defaulting Member (regardless of whether Paladin, as the Non-Defaulting Member, exercises any of its rights under Article 7 in connection therewith). Any removal of Buckingham as the Operating Member shall be effective upon the Effective Date of the Removal Notice relating to any Removal Event (or such later time as may be provided in the Removal Notice).

(b) Effect of Removal Upon Removal Event. If Buckingham is removed as the Operating Member of the Company pursuant to Section 2.06(a), then (i) a Cash Flow Bonus Forfeiture Event shall exist for purposes of Sections 5.01(c) and 5.02(g), (ii) Buckingham shall retain the remaining portion of its Interest in the Company (unless Paladin purchases such Interests as a result of the exercise of the Buy-Sell provisions set forth in Article 7), (iii) neither Buckingham nor its Affiliates shall be entitled to receive any further fees to which it would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 2.12; and (iv) the Management Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, designate any person or entity as a replacement Operating Member or as a manager who shall fulfill the duties and obligations of the Operating Member, that may be (but need not be) a Member of the Company (including, without limitation, Paladin (or any Affiliate thereof). From and after any such removal: (1) the replacement Operating Member (and not Buckingham or its Affiliates) shall be entitled to exercise all the rights, duties and obligations, and to receive any and all fees of the Operating Member under this Agreement, (2) Buckingham shall have no further obligations under Section 2.03, Section 2.04 or Section 2.05, and (3) Buckingham shall no longer have any right to appoint any representative to the Management Committee and any previously appointed representatives of Buckingham shall be replaced by one (1) or more representatives to be appointed by the Management Committee. In the event there is a dispute as to whether a Removal Event occurred, then Buckingham shall cease to be the Operating Member and shall no longer have any right to appoint any representative to the Management

-11-

Committee, and, if it shall be later determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that a Removal Event did not occur, then Buckingham shall be deemed to have been terminated pursuant to Section 2.06(c).

(c) Other Removal. For any reason, the Management Committee may elect (in its sole and absolute discretion) at any time after June 1, 2009, without cause and for any or no reason, to remove Buckingham as the Operating Member and to designate any Person as a replacement Operating Member or as a manager who shall fulfill the duties and obligations of the Operating Member, which election may be made by written notice to Buckingham not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such removal, provided that, the Management Committee agrees to meet and confer with Buckingham during such fifteen (15) day period, at the request of Buckingham, in connection with such removal. In such event, Buckingham (or its Affiliates, as applicable) shall: (i) have no further obligations under Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, and (ii) otherwise retain its Interest in the Company, including its interests in the Net Income and Net Losses or similar items of, and to receive distributions from, the Company as provided in Articles 4 and 5 of this Agreement. If Buckingham is removed as Operating Member pursuant to this Section 2.06(c), then (A) any such replacement Operating Member shall not receive any additional fees or “carried interest” or other profits interest in the Company unless such interest is paid from Paladin’s Interest in the Company and (B) Buckingham may elect, by written notice to Paladin within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such removal, to require Paladin to purchase all of Buckingham’s Interest in accordance with the procedures set forth in the last two sentences of Section 7.02, and in Section 7.03(a), (b) and (d) and Section 7.05, Section 7.06, Section 7.07, Section 7.08 and Section 7.10 as if Buckingham were a Defaulting Member as a result of one of the Buy-Sell Events referenced in Section 7.01(e)-(g) and Buckingham were the Selling Member and Paladin the Purchasing Member under such provisions of this Agreement. If Buckingham fails to make such election by written notice to Paladin at or before the end of such thirty (30) day period, then Buckingham shall be deemed to have waived its rights under clause (B) immediately above.

(d) Contracts. If Buckingham is removed as the Operating Member (whether pursuant to either Section 2.06(a) or Section 2.06(c)), then Paladin (acting alone and outside of the Management Committee), on behalf of the Company, shall also have the right to terminate Buckingham’s right to provide the services provided for in Section 2.12 and to terminate any other agreement between the Company and Buckingham or any Affiliate of Buckingham (including, without limitation, the Property Management Agreement described in Section 2.12), without penalty. If Buckingham is removed as the Operating Member pursuant to Section 2.06(c) and Paladin elects to terminate Buckingham’s right to provide the services provided for in Section 2.12 or to terminate any contract between the Company and Buckingham or an Affiliate of Buckingham, then the Company shall be obligated to engage a third party other than an Affiliate of Paladin to undertake the services previously provided by Buckingham or the Affiliate of Buckingham and which were terminated. If Buckingham is removed as the Operating Member pursuant to Section 2.06(a) as a result of the occurrence of a Removal Event, then the Company may engage either an Affiliate of Paladin or a third party to complete the services that were being provided under the terminated contract or other arrangement.

2.07

Liability and Indemnity

(a) Indemnification. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member, officer of the Company, representative on the Management Committee or other authorized representative of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to the other Members for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law or for anything that such Indemnified Party may do or refrain from doing hereafter, except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing or failing to perform such Indemnified Party’s duties for the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company hereby indemnifies, defends, protects and agrees to hold each Indemnified Party wholly harmless from and against any and all loss, expense or damage suffered by such Indemnified Party by reason of anything which such Indemnified Party may do or refrain from doing hereafter for and on behalf of the Company and in furtherance of its interest; provided, however, (i) no Indemnified Party shall be indemnified, defended, protected or held harmless from any loss, cost, expense or damage which such Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of such Indemnified Party’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing or in failing to perform such Indemnified Party’s duties for the Company, and (ii) any such indemnity shall be recoverable only from the assets of the Company. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member (or representative thereof) otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such duties and liabilities of such Member (or such representative).

(b) No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Person.

2.08

Limited Liability

Except as otherwise required hereunder or pursuant to any non-waivable provision of the Indiana Act, 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 the Members shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member of the Company.

2.09

Other Activities

Buckingham, as the Operating Member, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to carry out the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall devote all such time to the Company as is necessary for the efficient operation of the business and affairs of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of this Agreement or any

-13-

Operating Budget, or as otherwise approved by the Management Committee, the Operating Member shall not be paid any compensation by the Company for providing such services to the Company. No Member shall have any obligations (fiduciary or otherwise) with respect to the Company or to the other Member insofar as making other investment opportunities available to the Company or to the other Members. Each Member may engage in whatever activity such Member may choose without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such activity to the Company or to the other Members.

2.10

Brokers Indemnity

Each Member represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in connection with this Agreement or the relationship contemplated hereby, and each Member hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other Member and the Company wholly harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) which the other Member or the Company may suffer or incur by reason of any claim by any broker or agent for any compensation with respect to such indemnifying Member’s dealings in connection with this Agreement or the transactions described herein.

2.11

Reimbursement; Compensation

(a) Compensation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as provided in any applicable Operating Budget, no Member or any constituent partner, member, shareholder, officer, director, employee, agent, representative or Affiliate thereof shall receive any remuneration for services rendered to or in connection with the Company or be reimbursed for general administrative and overhead expenses.

(b) Reimbursement of Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member shall be reimbursed from the initial contributions made by the Members pursuant to Section 3.01 for any and all costs (including legal fees) reasonably and actually incurred by such Member in connection with the transactions contemplated herein (including the formation of the Company, and the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement) up to and including (but only up to and including) the closing date of the transactions contemplated herein.

2.12

Property Management

Buckingham Management, L.L.C., an Indiana limited liability company, which is an Affiliate of Buckingham, initially shall be the Property Manager of the Project and manage and operate the Project in accordance with a Property Management Agreement between the Company and such Property Manager in the form approved by the Management Committee (the “Property Management Agreement”). The Property Management Agreement shall provide for (i) an initial one year term with automatic one year renewals, (ii) termination by either the Company or the Property Manager for cause or upon a sale of the Project, and (iii) a management fee payable monthly, in arrears, to

-14-

the Property Manager with respect to the Project equal to four percent (4%) of the monthly gross revenues from the Project; provided, however, that if during any month for which such management fee is due and payable, there is insufficient Cash Flow to fund payment to Paladin of its Unpaid Preferred Return accrued and owing through the end of such month, then such portion of the management fees payable to the Property Manager for such month up to, but not exceeding, three quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the monthly gross revenues of the Project for such month shall be forfeited by the Property Manager and paid to Paladin to the extent (but only to the extent) of its Unpaid Preferred Return.

ARTICLE 3

MEMBERS’ CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

3.01

Initial Contributions of the Members

(a) Initial Capital Contributions. Buckingham has previously contributed to the Company cash and property that the parties agree have the aggregate amount of the agreed upon net fair market value as shown on Exhibit A hereto and shall be deemed Buckingham’s Initial Capital Contribution for purposes of this Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Paladin shall be deemed to have contributed as its Initial Capital Contribution cash in the amount shown on Exhibit A hereto. The Initial Capital Contributions and current Capital Account balances of the Members are identified on Exhibit A hereto.

(b) Credit to Capital Accounts. Any and all Capital Contributions made by each Member pursuant to this Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 and Section 3.03 shall be credited to the Capital Account and Unrecovered Contribution Account of each such Member as of the date any such Capital Contribution is made.

3.02

Additional Contributions

(a) Need for Contributions. Except as otherwise required by law or pursuant to this Section 3.02 or Section 3.03, no Member shall be required or permitted to make any additional capital contributions to the Company.

(b) Required Additional Contributions. From time to time, the Management Committee may require the Members to make Additional Contributions to the capital of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) in connection with the Project to fund Project Shortfalls by delivering written notice (“Contribution Notice”) of such Additional Contribution to the Members, which Contribution Notice shall include a contribution date (“Contribution Date”) (which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) Business Days following the Effective Date of such notice), upon which each Member

-15-

shall be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company its pro rata share of such Additional Contribution (measured by such Member’s Contribution Percentage).

3.03

Remedy For Failure to Contribute Capital

(a) Failure to Contribute. If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails timely to make all or any portion of any Additional Contribution such Member is required to contribute pursuant to Section 3.02 (the “Delinquent Contribution”) and such failure continues for five (5) days following the Effective Date of notice thereof from the other Member, such other Member (the “Contributing Member”), in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Contributing Member under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity (including, without limitation, instituting a legal proceeding to collect the Delinquent Contribution), shall have the right, but not the obligation, to proceed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 3.03 and, in addition, if Buckingham is the Non-Contributing Member, a Cash Flow Bonus Forfeiture Event shall exist for purposes of Sections 5.01(c) and 5.02(g).

(b) Default Loan. The Contributing Member may advance to the Company, in cash, within thirty (30) days following the Contribution Date, an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, and such advance by the Contributing Member shall be treated as a non-recourse loan by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member (a “Member Loan”), bearing interest at a rate equal to eight and one quarter percentage points (8.25%). Each Member Loan shall be due and payable upon the earlier of six (6) months from the date such Member Loan is advanced or the dissolution of the Company. If Paladin is the Contributing Member, then both Members shall take all actions and execute all documents (including a written promissory note evidencing the obligation of the Non-Contributing Member) necessary to ensure that the obligation meets the “straight debt safe harbor” described in Section 856(m) of the Code.

As of the Effective Date of any advance of a Member Loan, the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to have contributed an amount equal to the principal amount of such Member Loan to the capital of the Company, and the Capital Account and Unrecovered Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member shall be credited with a like amount. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 5 and 8, until any and all Member Loans are repaid in full, the Non-Contributing Member shall draw no further distributions from the Company, and all cash or property otherwise distributable with respect to the Non-Contributing Member’s Interest (or fees payable to the Non-Contributing Member or any of its Affiliates including, without limitation, any fees payable under Section 2.12) shall be distributed to the Contributing Member in repayment of the outstanding balance of the Member Loan, with such funds being applied first to reduce any and all interest accrued on such Member Loan and then to reduce the principal amount thereof. Any amounts so applied shall be treated, for all purposes under this Agreement, as having actually been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member and applied by the Non-Contributing Member to repay the outstanding Member Loan.

If, upon the maturity of a Member Loan (taking into account any agreed upon extensions thereof), any principal thereof or accrued interest thereon remains

-16-

outstanding, the Contributing Member shall elect one of the following options: (i) to renew such Member Loan (or portion thereof) pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 3.03(b) for an additional term of six (6) months; (ii) to contribute all or any portion of such outstanding principal of and accrued, unpaid interest on such Member Loan (or portion thereof) to the capital of the Company and dilute the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(c); or (iii) elect to exercise the buy-sell provisions contained in Article 7 in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(d), in which event the Member Loan shall remain if effect until the closing of the buy-sell transaction contemplated under Article 7. The Contributing Member may elect any of the options set forth in the immediately preceding sentence by giving written notice of such election to the Non-Contributing Member within thirty (30) days prior to such maturity date of the Member Loan. Failure of the Contributing Member to timely give such written notice to the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to constitute an election to renew such Member Loan for an additional term of six (6) months on the terms set forth herein.

(c) Dilution. The Contributing Member may contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, within thirty (30) days following the Contribution Date, an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, and the Capital Account and Unrecovered Contribution Account of the Contributing Member shall be credited with the amount so contributed. In the alternative, if the Contributing Member elected to make a Member Loan, then upon the maturity of a Member Loan that is not fully repaid on or before the maturity date thereof, the Contributing Member also may contribute to the capital of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b) above, all or any portion of the outstanding principal of and accrued, unpaid interest on such Member Loan (or portion thereof) and (i) the amount of such outstanding principal and interest so contributed shall be deemed repaid and satisfied, (ii) the amount of such outstanding principal and interest shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member, and debited from the Capital Account and Unrecovered Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member, and (iii) the Capital Account and Unrecovered Contribution Account of the Contributing Member shall be increased by the amount of such outstanding principal and interest so contributed.

Upon the contribution of any Delinquent Contribution (or the contribution of the principal and interest of any Member Loan by the Contributing Member pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)), the Percentage Interest and the Contribution Percentage of the Non-Contributing Member shall be decreased by the Dilution Percentage. The “Dilution Percentage” shall equal the amount expressed in percentage points (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percentage point) calculated based upon the following formula:

Dilution Percentage = 200% x

Delinquent Contribution (or the outstanding balance of any Member Loan (including interest) contributed by the Contributing Member)

Aggregate amount of the balances standing in all of the Members’ respective Unrecovered Contribution Accounts (including the Additional Contribution contributed by the Contributing Member(s) and the Delinquent Contribution or the outstanding balance of any Member Loan (including interest) contributed by the Contributing Member)

-17-

The Percentage Interest and the Contribution Percentage, of the Contributing Member shall be increased by the amount of the reduction in the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member.

The application of the provisions of this Section 3.03(c) is illustrated by the following example: Assume that (i) the Unrecovered Contribution Amount of the Members was equal to $8,000,000, (ii) an Additional Contribution of $500,000 was required to be contributed by the Members to the capital of the Company, (iii) the Non-Contributing Member whose Percentage Interest is 30% failed to contribute its share of such contribution of $150,000 (i.e., 15% x $500,000), and (iv) pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), the Contributing Member whose Percentage Interest is 70% made the Delinquent Contribution of $150,000 to the capital of the Company on behalf of such Non-Contributing Member pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).

The Dilution Percentage applicable to the Non-Contributing Member would be equal to 3.53 percentage points as calculated in accordance with the following formula:


	$	150,000
3.53% = 200% x	$	8,500,000

The Percentage Interest and the Contribution Percentage of the Non-Contributing Member therefore would be reduced by 3.53 percentage points from 30% to 26.47%, and the Percentage Interest and the Contribution Percentage of the Contributing Member would be increased by a like amount of percentage points from 70% to 73.53%.

(d) Implementation of Buy-Sell. In addition to the options set forth in Sections 3.03(b) and 3.03(c) above, the Contributing Member may elect to implement the buy-sell provisions contained in Article 7 for a Default Buy-Sell Event by delivery of written notice of such election to the Non-Contributing Member in accordance with the provisions thereof (and in which case the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to be the Defaulting Member and the Contributing Member shall be deemed to be the Non-Defaulting Member for purposes of Article 7); provided, however, that if the Contributing Member so elects to implement the buy-sell provisions contained in Article 7 and the Contributing Member also exercises its rights under Section 3.03(c), then in computing the Dilution Percentage in Section 3.03(c) in connection with the contribution of the Delinquent Contribution or any portion of the outstanding principal of and/or accrued, unpaid interest on any Member Loan that is the subject of the Default Buy-Sell Event, the 200% number used in the dilution formula in Section 3.03(c) above shall be 100%.

(e) Application of Provisions. Any and all adjustments to the Non-Contributing Member’s Percentage Interest shall be rounded to the nearest .01% and

-18-

(except as provided otherwise in the first paragraph of Section 3.03(b)) the Contributing Member shall not succeed to all or any portion of the Capital Account or Unrecovered Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member as the result of any such adjustment. In addition, notwithstanding any provision contained in this Article 3, the Non-Contributing Member’s Percentage Interests shall in no event be reduced below .01% by operation of Section 3.03(d). As a result of any contribution to the capital of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Contributing Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Capital Accounts of the Members to be booked-up or booked-down in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect the fair market value of the Company’s assets (as reasonably determined by the Contributing Member) at the time of such contribution.

3.04

Debt Financing

The Members acknowledge that the Management Committee may cause the Company to obtain debt financing from one or more third-party lenders in order to fund all or any portion of any actual or projected financial requirements of the Company or in connection with other costs that may be incurred by the Company. Any such financing shall be obtained on the best available market rates and terms, all as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Management Committee. In connection with obtaining any financing, it is expected that Buckingham and its Affiliates shall provide such repayment and “carve-out” guarantees that are customarily requested, and on such terms and conditions as are customarily requested, by lenders with respect to similar projects of similar size, type and location. Paladin shall not be required to personally guarantee any financing obtained by the Company.

3.05

Loans from Members

The Management Committee may elect, in its discretion, to cause the Members to fund Project Shortfalls and other financial requirements of the Company as loans to the Company in lieu of making Additional Contributions to the Company, on such terms and conditions as it shall determine from time to time.

3.06

Capital Contributions in General

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) no part of the contributions of any Member to the capital of the Company may be withdrawn by such Member, (ii) no Member shall be entitled to receive interest on such Member’s contributions to the capital of the Company, (iii) no Member shall have the right to demand or receive property other than cash in return for such Member’s contributions to the Company, and (iv) no Member shall be required or be entitled to contribute additional capital to the Company other than as permitted or required by this Article 3.

No portion of Net Profits or Net Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to a Member, in the case of Net Profits, whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than its Target Capital Accounts or, in the case of Net Losses, whose Target Capital Account is greater than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such Fiscal Year.

4.03

Other Special Allocations

(a) If the Company has Net Profits for any Fiscal Year (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 4.03) and the balance of any Member’s Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than the balance of its Target Capital Account, then the Member with such excess balance shall be specially allocated items of Company deduction or loss (to the extent available) equal to the difference between its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and its Target Capital Account;

(b) If the Company has Net Losses for any Fiscal Year (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 4.03) and the balance of any Member’s Partially Adjusted Capital Account is less than the balance of its Target Capital Account, then the Member with such deficit balance shall be specially allocated items of Company income or gain for such Fiscal Year (to the extent available) equal to the difference between its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and its Target Capital Account; and

(c) If the Company has neither Net Profits nor Net Losses for any Fiscal Year (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 4.03) and, notwithstanding the application of Section 4.01, the balance of any Member’s Partially Adjusted Capital Account differs from the balance of its Target Capital Account, then the Member with an excess or deficit balance, as the case may be, shall be specially allocated items of Company deduction or loss or income or gain, as the case may be, for such Fiscal Year (to the extent available) to eliminate the difference between its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and its Target Capital Account; provided, however, that no Member shall be allocated any Net Losses or items in the nature of deduction or loss pursuant to Section 4.01 or this Section 4.03 to the extent that such allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to such Member. Allocations of Net Losses that would be made to a Member but for the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 4.03(c) shall be made to the other Member to the extent not inconsistent with such proviso. To the extent allocations of Net Losses cannot be made to either Member because of such proviso, such allocations shall be made to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, notwithstanding such proviso.

4.04

Other Allocation Rules

(a) Tax/Book Differences. In the event that any Company property has a book value which differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then allocations with respect to such property for income tax purposes shall be made in a manner which takes into consideration differences between such book value and such adjusted tax basis in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(4). Such allocations for income tax purposes shall be made using the traditional method or such other method as may be agreed to by the Members. Such tax allocations shall neither affect, nor in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

-21-

(b) Variations in Interests During any Fiscal Year. For purposes of determining the Net Profits, Net Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Net Profits, Net Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, interim closing of the books or other basis, as determined by the Management Committee using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Allocations of Items. Any allocation to a Member of Net Profit or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation to such Member of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss. Unless otherwise specified herein to the contrary, any allocation to a Member of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or item thereof) shall be treated as an allocation of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or item thereof).

Permitted Transfers

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Member may Transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Interest to any of the following (collectively, “Permitted Transferees”) without complying with the provisions of Section 6.01:

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, any Transfer described in this Section 6.02 shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect if such Transfer would otherwise violate the provisions of Section 6.04.

6.03

Admission of Substitute Members

If any Member Transfers such Member’s Interest to a transferee in accordance with Sections 6.01 or 6.02, then such transferee shall only be entitled to be admitted into the Company as a substitute Member if (i) the books and records of the Company are amended to reflect such admission; (ii) the Management Committee

Any such transferee shall only be entitled to share, as an assignee, in such Net Profits and Net Losses, to receive such distributions, and to receive such allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar items to which the transferor was entitled, to the extent assigned. A Member that Transfers its Interest shall not cease to be a member of the Company until the admission of the transferee as a substituted member of the Company and, except as provided in the preceding sentence, shall continue to be entitled to exercise, and shall continue to be subject to, all of the rights, duties and obligations of such Member under this Agreement.

6.04

Additional Restrictions on Transfer

6.05

Buckingham Put Right

(a) Grant of Put Right. Paladin grants to Buckingham the right to require Paladin to purchase all or any portion of the Buckingham Put Interest (the “Put Right”) upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:

(1) The Put Right may be exercised at any time and from time to time after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement by written notice from Buckingham to Paladin specifying the portion of the Buckingham Put Interest (but which shall include no fractional percentage interests) that Buckingham requires Paladin to purchase (the “Designated Put Interest”), provided that at the time of the exercise of the Put Right the following conditions shall have been

-25-

satisfied: (i) no Cash Flow Bonus Forfeiture Event shall then exist; (ii) there shall then exist no Unpaid Preferred Return to Paladin or Buckingham shall agree that any Unpaid Return may be offset against the purchase price; and (iii) during the twelve (12) calendar months preceding the month in which the Put Right is exercised, there shall have been, as verified by Paladin, Ordinary Cash Flow sufficient to have made distributions pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and Section 5.01(b) of all Paladin’s Preferred Return and all of Buckingham’s Preferred Return that has accrued with respect to the Designated Put Interest during such twelve (12) month period.

(2) The purchase price for the Designated Put Interest shall be the Sixty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($67,500.00) multiplied by each one percent (1%) Percentage Interest (but which shall not include any fractional percentage interests) in the Company included in the Designated Put Interest.

(b) Closing. Each closing of the purchase of any Designated Put Interest shall occur on a date designated by Paladin on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date of Buckingham’s exercise of the Put Right with respect to the applicable Designated Put Interest. At the closing of each such Designated Put Interest, Buckingham shall execute such instruments of conveyance and make such representations and warranties as Paladin shall reasonably request to deliver good title to the Designated Put Interest, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, security interests or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (other than restrictions on transfer arising under federal and state securities laws). Additionally, the parties agree to execute and deliver to each other any and all additional documents necessary or appropriate to consummate the closing of the purchase of the Designated Put Interest pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.05. Each party shall bear its own expenses in connection with the closing of any Designated Put Interest contemplated in this Section 6.05. Upon the closing of any Designated Put Interest under this Section 6.05, (i) the Percentage Interest and the Contribution Percentage of Buckingham shall be reduced, and the Percentage Interest and the Contribution Percentage of Paladin shall be increased, by the Percentage Interest in the Company included in the Designated Put Interest so purchased by Paladin and (ii) the amount of the purchase price paid for the Designated Put Interest shall be deemed to have been distributed to Buckingham and debited from the Capital Account and Unrecovered Contribution Account of Buckingham, and (iii) the amount of the purchase price paid for the Designated Put Interest shall be deemed to have been contributed by Paladin to the capital of the Company and credited the Capital Account and Unrecovered Contribution Account of Paladin. If Paladin fails to close the purchase of any Designated Put Interest pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.05 on or before the closing date provided for above for any reason other than the default of Buckingham, then, in addition to any other remedy available in law or equity, Buckingham shall be entitled to implement the provisions of Section 3.03(c) and the amount of the purchase price that was payable for such Designated Put Interest shall be deemed to be a “Delinquent Contribution” due from Paladin under Section 3.03(c) for such purposes.

6.06

Buckingham Pre-Emptive Put Right

(a) Institution of Procedures. Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of any Paladin Sale Notice, Paladin shall deliver to Buckingham an offer to sell all of Paladin’s Interest in the Company (the “Paladin Sale Offer”). The offer to sell Paladin’s Interest set forth in the Paladin Sale Offer shall specify the purchase price (which shall be based on the purchase price that a Majority of Representatives proposes to sell the assets of the Company pursuant to the action approved by them pursuant to Section 2.02(b) (the “Paladin Valuation”)) and a determination of the amount of cash which would be distributable to each Member pursuant to Section 5.02 if (i) the Company (including all of its assets) were sold for the Paladin Valuation as of the Effective Date of the Paladin Sale Notice; (ii) the remaining liabilities of the Company were liquidated pursuant to Section 8.02(a); (iii) reserves in an amount reasonably determined by Paladin were established for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 8.02(b); and (iv) the Company distributed any remaining amounts to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02.

Buckingham shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date of the Paladin Sale Offer to elect, by written notice to Paladin, to purchase Paladin’s Interest at the price specified in the Paladin Sale Offer. Failure of Buckingham to make such election with such fifteen (15) Business Day period shall be deemed to be an election not to purchase Paladin’s Interest. Paladin agrees that for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days from the Effective Date of the Paladin Sale Offer, Paladin shall refrain from causing the Management Committee, on behalf of the Company, to implement any decision described in Section 2.02(b) that resulted in the institution of the procedures pursuant to this Section 6.06, and in the event that Buckingham, within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, elects to purchase Paladin’s Interest in the Company, then Paladin shall thereafter refrain from causing the Management Committee, on behalf of the Company, to implement any such decision unless Buckingham fails to close the purchase of Paladin’s Interest pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.06 on or before the closing date provided for below for any reason, other than the default of Paladin. Otherwise, the Management Committee, on behalf of the Company shall be entitled to implement any such decision, unless within the fifteen (15) Business Day period described above, Buckingham elects to purchase Paladin’s Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 6.06.

(c) Closing. If Buckingham so elects to purchase Paladin’s Interest in the Company, the closing shall occur on or before the date that is ninety (90) days after the Effective Date of Buckingham’s election. Buckingham shall pay, in cash, to Paladin on the closing date the amount offered sale price set forth in the Paladin Sale Offer. At the closing of such transfer of Paladin’s Interest, Paladin shall execute such instruments of conveyance and make such representations and warranties as Buckingham shall reasonably request to deliver good title to all of Paladin’s Interest, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, security interests or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (other than restrictions on transfer arising under federal and state securities laws).

-27-

(d) Failure to Close. If Buckingham fails to close the purchase of Paladin’s Interest pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.06 on or before the closing date provided for above for any reason, other than the default of Paladin, then Paladin shall be entitled to implement any decision described in Section 2.02(b) that resulted in the institution of the procedures pursuant to this Section 6.06 or shall otherwise be entitled to cause any sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company (including the Project) as may approved by a Majority of Representatives without any further duty or obligation to implement the provisions of this Section 6.06.

6.07

Election; Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee

Upon the Transfer of the Interest of any Member or the distribution of any property of the Company to a Member, the Company may file, with the approval of the Management Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, an election in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Company property to be adjusted for federal income tax purposes as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

6.08

Partition

No Member shall have the right to partition any assets of the Company or any interest therein, nor shall a Member make an application or proceeding for a partition thereto and, upon any breach of the provisions of this Section 6.08 by any Member, the other Member (in addition to all rights and remedies afforded by law or equity) shall be entitled to a decree or order restraining or enjoining such application, action or proceeding. Upon the Transfer of all or any part of the Interest of a Member as hereinabove provided, Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee on the basis of the computation method which with the approval of the Management Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, is in the best interests of the Company, provided such method is in conformity with the methods prescribed by Section 706 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii).

6.09

Waiver of Withdrawal

No Member may voluntarily withdraw, resign or retire from the Company without the prior written consent of the Members, which consent may be granted or withheld in each such Member’s sole and absolute discretion. Each Member hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to withdraw or resign from the Company pursuant to the Indiana Act or otherwise and hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to receive the fair value of such Member’s Interest in the Company upon such withdrawal, resignation or retirement pursuant to the Indiana Act. No admission or withdrawal of a Member, whether in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise, shall cause the dissolution of the Company except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01. Any purported admission, withdrawal or removal which is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void and, in addition to other rights and remedies at law and in equity, the other Member(s) shall be entitled to injunctive relief

-28-

enjoining the prohibited action. The Members expressly acknowledge that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the foregoing restrictions.

-30-

to constitute a waiver of any Default Buy-Sell Event or any rights and remedies (and the provisions of Section 7.09 shall apply to the Defaulting Member). For a period of fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date of any Default Notice, the Members shall attempt to agree upon a purchase price for the Defaulting Member’s Interest (the “Buyout Purchase Price”) in the event the Non-Defaulting Member desires to purchase the Interest of the Defaulting Member. If the Members are unable to agree on a Buyout Purchase Price, then the Default Purchase Price shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.03(a) based on the Appraised Value as determined pursuant to Section 7.03(b).

7.03

Determination of Purchase Price

(a) Member Buyout. Within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Buyout Purchase Price or, in the absence thereof, the determination of the Appraised Value of the Company pursuant to Section 7.03(b), the accountants regularly employed by the Company shall determine the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member pursuant to Section 5.02 if (i) the Company (including all of its assets) were sold (as applicable) for the Buyout Purchase Price or Appraised Value thereof (as applicable) as of the Effective Date of the Default Notice (after deducting therefrom an amount equal to reasonable and customary closing costs that would be payable in connection with any such sale); (ii) the remaining liabilities of the Company were liquidated pursuant to Section 8.02(a); (iii) reasonable reserves were established for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 8.02(b); (iv) if (and only if) the Defaulting Member is Buckingham, a Cash Flow Bonus Forfeiture Event existed for purposes of Sections 5.01(c) and 5.02(g); and (v) the Company distributed any remaining amounts to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02. Upon such determination, the accountants regularly employed by the Company shall give each Member a notice thereof (the “Price Determination Notice”). The determination by the accountants of such amounts, including all components thereof, shall be deemed conclusive absent any material computational error. If the Non-Defaulting Member purchases the Interest of the Defaulting Member, ninety-five percent (95%) of the amount that would be distributed to the Defaulting Member pursuant to clause (v) above shall be deemed to be the “Default Purchase Price” for purposes of this Article 7; provided, however, that if the Buy-Sell Event applicable to the Defaulting Member is not one of the Buy-Sell Events referenced in Sections 7.01(a), (b), (c) or (d), then one hundred percent (100%) of the amount that would be distributed to the Defaulting Partner pursuant to clause (v) above shall be deemed to be the “Default Purchase Price” for purposes of this Article 7.

(b) Determination of Appraised Value. For purposes of this Article 7, the appraised value (“Appraised Value”) of the assets of the Company shall be determined by one (1) or more independent Qualified Appraisers. The Non-Defaulting Member shall select one (1) Qualified Appraiser and shall include such selection in the Default Notice. Within fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date of the Default Notice, the Defaulting Member shall either agree to the Qualified Appraiser selected by

-31-

the Non-Defaulting Member or select a second (2nd) Qualified Appraiser and give written notice to the Non-Defaulting Member of the person so selected. If either the Non-Defaulting Member or the Defaulting Member fails to appoint a Qualified Appraiser within the time period specified and after the expiration of five (5) days following the Effective Date of written demand that a Qualified Appraiser be appointed, the Qualified Appraiser duly appointed by the Member making such demand to appoint such Qualified Appraiser shall proceed to make the appraisal as herein set forth, and the determination thereof shall be conclusive on all the Members. If two (2) Qualified Appraisers are selected, then such selected Qualified Appraisers shall thereafter appoint a third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser. If the two (2) selected Qualified Appraisers fail to appoint a third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser within ten (10) days following the Effective Date of written notice from the Defaulting Member notifying the Non-Defaulting Member of the selection of the second (2nd) Qualified Appraiser, either Member may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser.

The Qualified Appraiser or three (3) Qualified Appraisers, as the case may be, shall promptly fix a time for the completion of the appraisal, which shall not be later than thirty (30) days from the Effective Date of the appointment of the last Qualified Appraiser.

The Qualified Appraiser(s) shall determine the Appraised Value by determining the fair market value of the assets of the Company, such being the fairest price estimated in the terms of money which the Company could obtain if the assets of the Company were sold, for all cash, in the open market allowing a reasonable time to find a purchaser.

Upon submission of the appraisals setting forth the opinions as to the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company, the two (2) such appraisals which are nearest in amount shall be retained, and the third (3rd) appraisal shall be discarded. The average of the two (2) retained appraisals shall constitute the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company for purposes of this Article 7; unless one (1) appraisal is the mean of the other two (2) appraisals, in which case such appraisal shall constitute the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company for purposes of this Article 7.

(c) Sale to Third Party. Within ten (10) days after the closing of any sale of the Company or its assets to any third party pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.02, the accountants regularly employed by the Company shall determine the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member pursuant to Section 5.02 after (i) the sale of the Company (including all of its assets) to the third party for the Third-Party Purchase Price as of the closing of the sale of the Company or its assets (after deducting therefrom an amount equal to reasonable and customary closing costs and any prepayment fees on any indebtedness that would be payable in connection with any such sale); (ii) the liquidation of the remaining liabilities of the Company pursuant to Section 8.02(a); (iii) the establishment of reserves in an amount reasonably determined by the Non-Defaulting Member for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 8.02(b); (iv) if Buckingham is the

-32-

Defaulting Member, the existence of a Cash Flow Bonus Forfeiture Event for purposes of Sections 5.01(c) and 5.02(g); and (v) the distribution by the Company of any remaining amounts to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02. Upon such determination, the accountants regularly employed by the Company shall give each Member a Price Determination Notice thereof. The determination by the accountants of such amounts, including all components thereof, shall be deemed conclusive absent any material computational error. In the event of any such third party sale, ninety-five percent (95%) of the amount that would be distributed to the Defaulting Member pursuant to clause (v) above shall be deemed to be the “Default Purchase Price” for purposes of this Article 7.

(d) Payment of Costs. The Non-Defaulting Member shall pay for the services of the Qualified Appraiser appointed by such Member, and the Defaulting Member shall pay for the services of the Qualified Appraiser appointed by such Member. The cost of the services of the third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser, if any, shall be paid one-half (¹/2) by the Non-Defaulting Member and one-half (¹/2) by the Defaulting Member. The costs of the services of the accountants and, in the event only one (1) Qualified Appraiser is required, the cost of the services of such Qualified Appraiser, shall be paid one-half (¹/2) by the Non-Defaulting Member and one-half (¹/2) by the Defaulting Member.

7.04

Member’s Option

(a) Non-Defaulting Member’s Option. For a period of thirty (30) days following the determination of the Default Purchase Price pursuant to Section 7.03(a), the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to (i) purchase the entire Defaulting Member’s Interest for the Default Purchase Price thereof (as determined pursuant to Section 7.03(a)), and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 7, (ii) elect to sell the Company or cause the Company to sell its assets to a third party in accordance with the provisions set forth above in this Article 7 or (iii) waive the right to purchase the Defaulting Member’s Interest or cause such third party sale with respect to the particular Default Buy-Sell Event, in each case by delivering written notice thereof to the Defaulting Member within such thirty (30)-day period. The failure of the Non-Defaulting Member to timely give any such written notice pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be deemed an election by such Member to waive such rights with respect to the particular Buy-Sell Event that resulted in the implementation of the provisions of this Article 7. If the Non-Defaulting Member elects to sell the Company or cause the Company to sell its assets to a third party in accordance with the provisions set forth above in this Article 7, then, in lieu of electing to purchase the Defaulting Member’s Interest, at the Non-Defaulting Member’s option, the Non-Defaulting Member may cause the sale to such third party to occur. If the Non-Defaulting Member causes the sale to such third party to occur, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 5 and 8 (and any other provision contained in this Agreement), the aggregate amount of Cash Flow to be distributed to the Defaulting Member from such sale shall be equal to the Default Purchase Price for the Defaulting Member’s Interest determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.03(c) and the balance of such proceeds shall be distributed to the Non-Defaulting Member.

-33-

(b) Defaulting Member’s Option Prior to Sale to Third Party. Prior to accepting an offer to sell the Company or its assets to any third party pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.02 at the Third-Party Purchase Price, the Non-Defaulting Member shall give the Defaulting Member written notice and a copy of the offer (“Third Party Offer Notice”). The Defaulting Member then shall have five (5) days after receipt of the Third Party Offer Notice to elect, by written notice to the Non-Defaulting Member, to purchase the Non-Defaulting Member’s Interest at a purchase price equal to the amount that the Non-Defaulting Member would have received pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7.04(a) from the sale to the third party (the “Defaulting Party Purchase Price”). If the Defaulting Member fails to make such election by written notice to the Non-Defaulting Member at or before the end of such five (5) day period, then the Defaulting Member shall be deemed to have waived such its rights under this Section 7.04(b) and the provisions of this Section 7.04(b) shall thereafter be null and void, even if the transaction to sell the Company or its assets to any third party pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.02 at the Third-Party Purchase Price is not consummated. If the Defaulting Party fails to close the purchase of Non-Defaulting Party’s Interest pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.04(b) on or before the closing date provided for above for any reason, other than the default of the Non-Defaulting Party, then the Non-Defaulting Member may once again exercise its rights as the Non-Defaulting Member under this Article 7 from and after such date; provided, however, that in connection therewith the percentages of “ninety-five percent (95%)” and “one hundred percent (100%),” respectively, set forth in the last sentence of Section 7.03(a) shall thereafter be “ninety percent (90%)” and “ninety-five percent (95%),” respectively, and the percentage of “ninety-five percent (95%)” set forth in the last sentence of Section 7.03(c) thereafter be “ninety percent (90%).”

7.05

Closing of Purchase and Sale

The closing of any purchase and sale of the Interest of any Member selling its Interest (the “Selling Member”) pursuant to this Article 7 shall be held at the principal office of the Member that is purchasing the Interest of the Selling Member (the “Purchasing Member”) Member (or its counsel) on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day after the expiration of the applicable thirty (30)-day period set forth in Section 7.04 (if applicable), or, if earlier, the forty-fifth (45th) day after the Effective Date of the Default Notice or Buy-Sell Notice, as applicable (provided, however, that the closing date for any closing under Section 7.04(b) shall be as set forth in Section 7.04(b)). The Selling Member shall transfer to the Purchasing Member (or such Member’s nominee(s)) the entire Interest of the Selling Member free and clear of all liens, security interests, and competing claims and shall deliver to the Purchasing Member (or such Member’s nominee(s)) such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution, and delivery, and of the absence of any such liens, security interests, or competing claims as such Purchasing (or such Member’s nominee(s)) shall reasonably request.

-34-

7.06

Payment of Purchase Price

The Purchase Price for the purchase of the Selling Member’s Interest shall be paid by the Purchasing Member (or such Member’s nominee(s)) at the closing, in cash or one (1) or more certified or bank cashier’s checks drawn and made payable to the order of the Selling Member. If the Company or its assets are sold to a third party pursuant to this Article 7, then the entire Third Party Purchase Price shall be paid concurrently with such closing.

7.07

Release and Indemnity

On or before the closing of a purchase held pursuant to this Article 7, the Purchasing Member shall use such Member’s reasonable efforts to obtain written releases of the Selling Member (and such Member’s Affiliates) from all liabilities of the Company and from all guarantees of such liabilities of the Company previously executed by the Selling Member (and its Affiliates). To the extent such releases cannot be obtained by the Purchasing Member, Paladin or Buckingham, as the case may be, or such Affiliate entity satisfactory to the Selling Member shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the Selling Member (and such Affiliates) wholly free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, causes of action, liens, charges, and all other matters arising from such liabilities or guarantees, arising subsequent to the Effective Date of such closing. The Members acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 7.07 shall only apply if the applicable Buy-Sell Event is that referenced in Section 7.01(b) or Section 7.01(d) and is not attributable to the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Selling Member.

7.08

Repayment of Member Loans

The Purchase Price to be paid by the Purchasing Member for the Interest of the Selling Member shall be offset at the closing of such purchase by the then outstanding principal balance (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) of any and all (i) Member Loans made by the Purchasing Member to the Selling Member and (ii) loans or advances of funds made by the Company to the Selling Member (each a “Seller Loan”). Such Member Loans and Seller Loans (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) shall be deemed paid to the extent of such offset, with such deemed payment to be applied first to the accrued interest thereon and thereafter to the payment of the outstanding principal amount thereof. If the Purchase Price for the Defaulting Member’s Interest is insufficient to fully offset the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Member Loans and Seller Loans (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon), then the portion of any such Member Loans and Seller Loans (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be due and payable in full at the closing of the purchase of the Selling Member’s Interest pursuant to this Article 7. Also, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the unpaid principal balance of any and all Member Loans and Seller Loans (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) shall be due and payable in full at the closing of the purchase of the Selling Member’s Interest pursuant to this Article 7.

-35-

7.09

Voting Rights Following Default Buy-Sell Event

From and after the occurrence of a Default Buy-Sell Event (unless and until the Non-Defaulting Member waives in writing any Default Buy-Sell Event or fails to timely consummate the applicable transactions described in this Article 7 as described in Section 7.05), (i) the Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to participate in the management of, or otherwise vote upon, any matter affecting the business and affairs of, the Company or any matter that such Member is entitled to vote upon under this Agreement, (ii) the Defaulting Member shall no longer have any right to appoint any representative to the Management Committee and any previously appointed representatives of the Defaulting Member shall be replaced by one (1) or more representatives to be appointed by the Non-Defaulting Member, and (iii) the rights of the Defaulting Member shall be limited solely to those of an assignee.

7.10

Withdrawal of the Selling Member

If the Interest of the Selling Member is purchased by the Purchasing Member pursuant to this Article 7, then, effective as of the closing for such purchase, (i) the Selling Member shall withdraw as a Member of the Company, and (ii) if the Selling Member is Buckingham, then Buckingham shall be automatically removed as the Operating Member of the Company. In connection with any such withdrawal of the Selling Member, the Purchasing Member may cause any nominee designated in the sole and absolute discretion of the Purchasing Member to be admitted as a substitute partner of the Company.

ARTICLE 8

DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY

8.01

Events Causing Dissolution of the Company

Upon any Member’s bankruptcy, retirement, resignation, expulsion or other cessation to serve, or the admission or substitution of a new Member, the Company shall not be dissolved but its business shall continue without interruption or break in continuity. Upon the bankruptcy, retirement, resignation, expulsion or other cessation to serve of any Member, the other Member shall continue to serve as a Member of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of: (a) the expiration of the term of the Company, unless such term has been extended by the unanimous agreement of the Members; (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets and the collection by the Company of its distributive share of any and all cash proceeds delivered therefrom; or (c) the affirmative election of the Management Committee to dissolve the Company. Except as may be permitted in accordance with this Section 8.01 or other terms of this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to, and each Member hereby agrees that it shall not, seek to dissolve or cause the dissolution of the Company or seek to cause a partial or whole distribution or sale of Company assets whether by court action or otherwise, it being agreed that any actual or attempted dissolution, distribution or sale would cause a substantial hardship to the Company and the remaining Members.

-36-

8.02

Winding Up of the Company

Upon the Liquidation of the Company caused by other than the termination of the Company under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code (in which latter case the Company shall remain in existence in accordance with the provisions of such Section of the Code), the Members shall proceed to the winding up of the affairs of the Company. During such winding up process, the Net Profits, Net Losses and Cash Flow distributions shall continue to be shared by the Members in accordance with this Agreement. The assets shall be liquidated as promptly as consistent with obtaining a fair value therefor, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent available, shall be applied and distributed by the Company on or before the end of the taxable year of such Liquidation or, if later, within ninety (90) days after such Liquidation, in the following order: (a) first, to creditors of the Company (including Members who are creditors), in the order of priority as provided by law, (b) second, to the setting up of any reasonable reserves which the Management Committee deems reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company (which shall be distributed as soon as reasonably practicable to the Members in proportion to their respective positive Capital Account balances), and (c) thereafter, to the Members in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof.

8.03

No Negative Capital Account Restoration
