-9-

Disposition and admission is being made in accordance with Applicable Laws, and (2) the matters set forth in Section 4.03(a)(i) and this Section 4.03(a)(ii) are true and correct.

     (b) Payment of Expenses. The Disposing Member and its Assignee shall pay, or reimburse the Company for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Disposition and admission of the Assignee as a Member.

     (c) No Release. No Disposition of Membership Interests shall effect a release of the Disposing Member from any liabilities to the Company or the Non-Disposing Members arising from events occurring prior to the Disposition.

     SECTION 4.04 Resignation of Directors.

     In the event of a Disposition of Membership Interests that would cause a Change of Control of the Company, each of the Directors of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such Disposition shall deliver in writing to the Company an unconditional letter of resignation, to be effective upon the consummation of such Disposition, which the Members of the Company immediately following such Change of Control may elect to accept in their sole discretion.

-11-

adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to the Allocation Regulations.

     (v) Curative Allocation. The special allocations set forth in Section 6.01(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with the Allocation Regulations.

     SECTION 14.03 Entire Agreement; Superseding Effect.

     This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members, in such capacity, relative to the formation, operation and continuation of the Company.

     SECTION 14.04 Effect of Waiver or Consent.

     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Member in the performance by that Member of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Member of the same or any other obligations of that Member with respect to the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, failure on the part of a Member to complain of any act of any Member or to declare any Member in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Member of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

     SECTION 14.05 Amendment or Restatement.

     This Agreement or the Delaware Certificate may be amended or restated only by a written instrument executed (or, in the case of the Delaware Certificate, approved) by the Members.

     SECTION 14.06 Binding Effect.

     Subject to the restrictions on Dispositions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     SECTION 14.07 Governing Law; Severability.

     This agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the law of the state of Delaware, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or the construction of this agreement to the law of another jurisdiction. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in a limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Member or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Members or circumstances is not affected thereby, and (b) the Members shall negotiate in good faith to replace that provision with a new provision that is valid and enforceable and that puts the Members in substantially the same economic, business and legal position as they would have been in if the original provision had been valid and enforceable.

     SECTION 14.08 Further Assurances.

     Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.

     SECTION 14.10 Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

     Any and all Claims arising out of, in connection with or in relation to (i) the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, or (ii) any relationship before, at the time of entering into, during the term of, or upon or after expiration or termination of this Agreement, between the parties hereto, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction [in Tulsa County] in the State of Oklahoma. Each party hereto unconditionally and irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court over any Claims and waives any objection that such party may have to the laying of venue of any Claims in any such court.
