3.2 Liability of Members and Holders.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Act, no Member or other Holder shall have any personal liability whatsoever in his, her or its capacity as a Member or Holder, whether to the Company, to any of the other Members or Holders, to the creditors of the Company or to any other third party, for the debts, liabilities, commitments or any other obligations of the Company or for any losses of the Company, and therefore each Member or other Holder shall be liable only to make such Person’s required Initial Capital Contribution to the Company and the payments provided in Section 3.2(b) below. Each Member hereby consents to the exercise by the Board and the Company’s officers of the powers conferred on them by this Agreement.

(b) In accordance with the Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a member of, or other holder of an interest in, a limited liability company may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Person. It is the intent of the Members and the other Holders that no Distribution to any Member or other Holder pursuant to Article V hereof shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act.

(c) Except as provided in this Article III, no Member or other Holder shall make or be required to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company with respect to such Member’s or other Holder’s Units. Except as expressly provided herein, no Member or other Holder, in its capacity as such, shall have the right to receive any cash or other property of the Company.

Initially, the Units shall be comprised of Class A Common Units and Class B Common Units.

Upon the issuance of any Additional Units and the payment of the Capital Contribution with respect thereto, the Capital Account of the Holder thereof shall be adjusted pursuant to Article VI.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that, from time to time after the date hereof, the Board shall have the sole power and discretion to approve the issuance of up to 593,622 Class B Common Units (which amount is inclusive of the 427,643 Class B Common Units issued as of the date hereof) to any employee, officer, director, other service provider or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Management Purchaser”) pursuant to a written agreement with the Company, and to reissue any Class B Common Units that are reacquired by the Company upon exercise of any repurchase right the Company may have in connection with the Holder’s termination of employment. The Board shall have sole and complete power and discretion to approve which Management Purchasers shall be offered Class B Common Units, the number of Class B Common Units to be offered and issued to each such Management Purchaser, the purchase price (if any) for such Class B Common Units and the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the vesting schedule) with respect thereto, provided that the Board shall consult with the Chief Executive Officer in determining the identity of prospective Management Purchasers and the number of Class B Common Units to be issued to such individuals.

(c) In order for a Person to be admitted as a Member with respect to any Additional Units, (i) such Person shall have executed and delivered a Joinder and a purchase or subscription agreement and shall have delivered such other documents and instruments as the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the issuance of such Additional Units to such Person or to effect such Person’s admission as a Member; and (ii) the Board or an authorized officer of the Company shall amend Schedule A without the further vote, act or consent of any other Person to reflect the admission of such Person as a Member. Upon the amendment of Schedule A and the payment of the required Capital Contribution with respect to the Additional Units, such Person shall be deemed to have been admitted as a Member and shall be listed as such on the books and records of the Company and thereupon shall be issued his, her or its Units. If any Additional Units are issued to an existing Member, the Board or an

authorized officer of the Company shall amend Schedule A without further vote, act or consent of any other Person to reflect the issuance of such Additional Unit and, upon the amendment of such Schedule A and the payment of the required Capital Contribution with respect to the Additional Units, such Member shall be issued his, her or its Additional Unit, if any. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule A shall be deemed to be a reference to Schedule A as the same may be amended and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3.6 Vesting of Class B Common Units. Class B Common Units shall become vested in accordance with the provisions set forth in the unit purchase agreement or other agreement pursuant to which such Units are issued.

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

4.1 Establishment and Determination of Capital Accounts. A capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be established for each Holder in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. In accordance with such Treasury Regulations, the Capital Account of each Holder shall equal, as of the date hereof, the amount set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and shall be (a) increased by any additional Capital Contributions made by such Holder and such Holder’s share of items of income and gain allocated to such Holder pursuant to Article V and (b) decreased by such Holder’s share of items of loss, deduction and expense allocated to such Holder pursuant to Article V and any Distributions to such Holder of cash or the fair market value of any other property (as determined by the Board in its reasonable good faith judgment and net of liabilities assumed by such Holder and liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed to such Holder. Any references in this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Holder shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time as set forth above.

4.2 Computation of Amounts. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or expense to be reflected in Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of each such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes; provided that:

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

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

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

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

(e) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis).

(f) To the extent that the Company distributes any asset in kind to the Holders, the Company shall be deemed to have realized Profit or Loss thereon in the same manner as if the Company had sold such asset for an amount equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board in its reasonable good faith judgment) of such asset or, if greater and otherwise required by the Code, the amount of debts to which such asset is subject.

4.3 Interest. No Holder shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution to the Company or on the balance of such Holder’s Capital Account.

4.4 Loans from Holders. With the consent of the Board, any Holder may make loans to the Company, and any loan by a Holder to the Company shall not be considered a Capital Contribution. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Holder and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

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

4.6 Transfer of Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for each transferee Holder shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account of the Holder (or portion thereof) to which such transferee Holder succeeds, at the time such transferee Holder acquires any Units of the Holder to which such transferee Holder succeeds in accordance with Article XII. The Capital Account of any Holder whose interest in the Company shall be increased or decreased by means of (i) the transfer to such Holder of all or part of the Units of another Holder or (ii) the repurchase of Class B Common Units or any other Units shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such transfer or repurchase. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of or Distribution to a Holder that has succeeded any other Holder as a transferee shall include any Capital Contributions or Distributions previously made by or to the former Holder on account of the Units of such former Holder transferred to such Holder.

4.7 Adjustments to Book Value. The Company shall adjust the Book Value of its assets to fair market value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as of the following times: (i) at the Board’s discretion in connection with the issuance of Units; (ii) at the Board’s discretion in connection with the Distribution by the Company to a Holder of more than a de minimis amount of the Company’s assets, including money, if as a result of such

Distribution, such Holder’s interest in the Company is reduced; and (iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g). Any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an asset shall be allocated as a Profit or Loss to the Capital Accounts of the Holders under Section 5.3 (determined immediately prior to the issuance of new Units).

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

5.1 Distributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 18-607 of the Act and to the provisions of this Article V, and except as required by Sections 5.2 and 12.2 of this Agreement, Distributions shall be made to Holders as determined by the Board, which determination may include the imposition on all Holders of certain terms and conditions on the receipt of any Distributions hereunder (including, but not limited to, the repayment or return of all or any portion of such Distributions to the Company in order to satisfy the Company’s indemnification and other obligations in connection with the divestiture of any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries). All Distributions shall be further subject to the retention and establishment of reserves, or payment to third parties, of such funds as the Board deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs and obligations of the Company (which obligations shall include, without limitation, the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses and the obligations under the terms and conditions of any indebtedness for borrowed money incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (except with respect to Tax Distributions pursuant to Section 5.2) shall be made when and as declared by the Board to each Holder in the following order and priority:

(a) first, to the Holders of all Class A Common Units (ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Unreturned Capital with respect to all Class A Common Units held by each such Holder immediately prior to such Distribution), until the aggregate Unreturned Capital with respect to the Class A Common Units has been reduced to zero

(b) second, to the Holders of all vested Class B Common Units (ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Unreturned Capital with respect to all vested Class B Common Units held by each such Holder immediately prior to such Distribution), until the aggregate Unreturned Capital with respect to the vested Class B Common Units has been reduced to zero; and

(c) third, to the Holders of the Common Units, pro rata among such Holders based on the total number of Common Units held by each such Holder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Holders of Class B Common Units shall be entitled to receive priority catch up distributions in respect of Class B Units that have become vested Class B Common Units and which did not participate in earlier distributions. Accordingly, at the time of any distribution pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or (c), a Catch Up Payment (as defined below) shall be paid to each of the Holders of Class B Common Units holding Newly Vested Units (as defined below) as a priority distribution before distributions are made to the other Holders pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or (c), provided that once the applicable Catch Up Payment is paid in

full to a Holder in respect of the applicable Newly Vested Units, such Holder shall no longer have a right to receive any Catch Up Payment under this Agreement in respect of the applicable Newly Vested Units. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Catch Up Payment” means, with respect to Holders of Newly Vested Units, the aggregate incremental amount (in excess of actual distributions) required so that such Holder receives an amount with respect to each Newly Vested Unit equal to the total amount that such Holder would have, prior to such date, received with respect to each vested Class B Common Unit pursuant to any and all prior distributions under Section 5.l(b) and (c) (including distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 to the extent such distributions would have been offsets to distributions that would otherwise have been made under Section 5.1(b) or (c)) and (ii) “Newly Vested Units” shall mean Class B Units (a) that became vested Class B Common Units since the time of any prior distribution pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or (c) (i.e., that were not vested at the time of such prior distribution) and (b) for which the applicable Catch Up Payment has not yet been made.

5.2 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.1, to the extent funds of the Company may be legally available for Distribution by the Company under the Act and subject to any applicable agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party governing the terms of indebtedness for borrowed money and subject to the retention and establishment of reserves, or payment to third parties, of such funds as the Board deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs and obligations of the Company, the Board shall cause the Company to distribute to the Holders of Class A Common Units and vested Class B Common Units, in respect of such Units in the proportions specified herein, for each fiscal quarter an amount (any such amount, a “Tax Distribution”) in cash equal to the product of: (i) the Company Income Amount for the Fiscal Year, multiplied by (ii) the Assumed Tax Rate for such Fiscal Year, divided by (iii) four. The “Company Income Amount” for a Fiscal Year shall be an amount, if positive, equal to the net taxable income of the Company for such Fiscal Year, minus any net taxable loss of the Company for any prior Fiscal Year not previously taken into account for purposes of this Section 5.2 to the extent such loss would be available under the Code to offset income of the Holders (or, as appropriate, the direct or indirect partners or members of the Holders) determined as if income and loss from the Company was the only income and loss of the Holders (or, as appropriate, the direct or indirect partners or members of the Holders) in such Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years. The “Assumed Tax Rate” for a Fiscal Year shall be equal to the sum of the highest marginal federal, state, and local income tax rates applicable to any Holder or its partners or members. Such quarterly Distributions shall be made to such Holder at least five days before such Holder’s estimated quarterly tax payments are due in respect of such Holder’s taxable year in which such Holder’s share of the Company’s taxable income for the applicable Fiscal Year is includable. Tax Distributions shall be made to the Holders of Class A Common Units and vested Class B Common Units in the proportion that the amount of the Company’s taxable income allocated to such Holder pursuant to this Article V for such Fiscal Year (net of any taxable losses previously allocated to such Holder that are taken into account in determining the Company Income Amount for such Fiscal Year) bears to the Company’s total taxable income allocated to all Holders pursuant to this Article V for such Fiscal Year (net of any taxable losses previously allocated to all Holders that are taken into account in determining the Company Income Amount for such Fiscal Year). Tax Distributions shall be considered advances on Distributions to Holders under Section 5.1.

5.3 Allocation of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4, Profits and Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Holders in such manner that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year, the sum of (i) the Capital Account of each Holder, (ii) such Holder’s share of minimum gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)) and (iii) such Holder’s Holder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be equal to the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which would be distributed to them or for which they would be liable to the Company under this Agreement, determined as if the Company were to (A) liquidate all of the assets of the Company for an amount equal to their Book Value and (B) distribute the proceeds of liquidation pursuant to Section 13.2; provided, however, that for this purpose such liquidation will not be treated as a Sale of the Company that triggers an acceleration of vesting for any unvested Class B Units.

5.4 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order and priority:

(a) Loss attributable to Holder Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Fiscal Year in Holder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, Profits for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) shall be allocated to the Holders in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.4(a) is intended to be a “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(b) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Holder shall be allocated Profits for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.4(b) is intended to be a “minimum gain chargeback” provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c) Holder Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated pro rata to all Common Units.

(d) If any Holder who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6) has an adjusted capital account deficit (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) as of the end of any Fiscal Year, then Profits for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated to such Holder in proportion to, and to the extent of, such adjusted capital account deficit. This Section 5.4(d) is intended to be a “qualified income offset” provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(e) Profits and Losses described in Section 4.2(e) shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j),(k) and (m).

(f) The allocations described in Sections 5.4(a), (b), (c) and (d) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations and as such may not be consistent with the manner in which the Holders intend to allocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense or make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding other provisions of this Section 5.4, but subject to the requirements of the Treasury Regulations, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense in subsequent Fiscal Years shall be allocated among the Holders in such a way as to reverse as quickly as possible the effects of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Holders to be in the amounts they would have been if Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations.

(g) The Parties acknowledge that allocations like those described in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) (“Forfeiture Allocations”) result from the allocations of Profits and Losses provided for in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board is entitled to make Forfeiture Allocations and, once required by applicable final or temporary guidance, allocations of Profits and Losses will be made in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) or any successor provision or guidance.

5.5 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld from or offset against any Distribution to a Holder pursuant to Section 15.1 or Section 15.11 shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Holder pursuant to this Article V for all purposes under this Agreement.

5.6 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).

(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Holders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses among the Holders for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Holders so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value at the time of contribution. The Board shall be entitled to adopt any method permissible under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder for taking into account any such variation.

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

(d) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Holder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or Distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

The Board may assign titles to particular officers. Unless the Board otherwise specifies, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office under the laws of the State of Delaware, subject to any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such officer by the Board pursuant to this Section 7.1. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed.

Designation of an officer shall not of itself create any contract rights, except as otherwise set forth herein. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be filled by the Board.

7.6 Duties of Officers Generally. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each officer shall owe to the Company and its Members the same duties of care and loyalty that such individuals would owe to a corporation and its stockholders as an officer thereof under the laws of the State of Delaware.

9.1 Exculpation. No Manager or officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company, any other Manager, any other officer of the Company or to any Member for any loss suffered by the Company unless such loss is caused by such Manager’s or such officer of the Company’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, knowing violation of law or material breach of this Agreement, the Unitholders Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and such Manager or officer of the Company. No Manager or officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company, any other Manager or officer or any Member for errors in judgment or for any acts or omissions that do not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, knowing violation of law or material breach of this Agreement or other agreement with the Company or its Subsidiaries.

9.2 Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Article IX, 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, arbitrative (hereinafter 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 he, or a Person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was an officer or Manager

of the Company or, while an officer or Manager of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, 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 or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted under 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, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding; provided that (a) such Person’s course of conduct was pursued in good faith and believed by him to be in the best interests of the Company and (b) such course of conduct did not constitute gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or knowing violation of law on the part of such Person and otherwise was materially in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Unitholders Agreement. Indemnification under this Article IX shall continue with respect 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 IX shall be deemed contractual rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article IX shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Article IX could involve indemnification for negligence other than gross negligence.

9.3 Advance Payment. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article IX shall, upon approval by the Board in each instance, include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under Section 9.2 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 good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under Article IX 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 IX or otherwise.

9.4 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to any Person, as determined by the Board, by reason of the fact that such Person was an employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, 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 liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in such a capacity or arising out of his or her status as such a Person to the same extent that it shall indemnify and advance expenses to Managers and officers under this Article IX.

9.5 Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX, the Company may pay or reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a Manager, officer or employee in connection with his or her appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding related to or arising out of the business of the Company at a time when he or she is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.

9.6 Non-exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which a Manager, officer or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article IX may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), any provision of the Certificate or this Agreement, any separate contractual arrangement, any vote of Members or disinterested Managers, or otherwise.

9.7 Insurance.

9.8 Savings Clause. If this Article IX 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 Manager, officer or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article IX as to costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article IX that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

TAXES

10.1 Tax Returns. The Board shall cause to be prepared and filed all necessary federal, state, local or foreign income tax returns for the Company, including making any elections the Board may deem appropriate and in the best interests of the Holders. Each Holder shall furnish to the Board all pertinent information in its possession relating to Company operations that is necessary to enable the Company’s income tax returns to be prepared and filed.

10.2 Tax Matters Partner. MDCP shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, unless and until the Board shall designate another “tax matters partner” in its sole discretion. The tax matters partner is authorized (i) to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations by income tax authorities of the Company’s affairs and any Company related items, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, (ii) to sign consents and to enter into settlements and other agreements with such authorities with respect to any such examinations or proceedings, and (iii) to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Member will cooperate with the tax matters partner and do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the tax matters partner with respect to the conduct of such examinations or proceedings. The tax matters partner has sole discretion to determine whether the Company will contest or continue to contest any income tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed by any income taxing authority on the Company.

10.3 Tax Elections. The tax matters partner, in its sole discretion, may make or revoke any available election under the Code or the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (including for this purpose any new or amended Treasury Regulations issued after the date of formation of the Company).

10.4 Code Section 83 Safe Harbor Election.

(a) By executing this Agreement, each Member authorizes and directs the Company to elect to have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43 (the “IRS Notice”), or any successor guidance or provision, apply to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure. For purposes of making such Safe Harbor election, the tax matters

partner is hereby designated as the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the Company and, accordingly, execution of such Safe Harbor election by the tax matters partner constitutes execution of a “Safe Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the IRS Notice. The Company and each Member hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the IRS Notice, including, without limitation, the requirement that each Member shall prepare and file all federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects of each Unit issued by the Company that qualifies for the Safe Harbor in a manner consistent with the requirements of the IRS Notice. A Member’s obligations to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.4 shall survive such Member’s ceasing to be a Member of the Company and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and, for purposes of this Section 10.4, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence.

(b) Each Member authorizes the tax matters partner to amend this Section 10.4 to the extent necessary to achieve substantially the same or similar tax treatment with respect to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company as set forth in Section 4 of the IRS Notice (e.g., to reflect changes from the rules set forth in the IRS Notice in subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance); provided that such amendment does not result in disproportionately adverse treatment of any other Member as compared to the treatment of a Member holding similar Units.

TRANSFERS

12.1 Restrictions on Transfer of Units. THE TRANSFER OF ANY UNITS OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUED BY THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE UNITHOLDERS AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED OR MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHICH RESTRICTIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IN ADDITION, NO HOLDER MAY TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PORTION OF SUCH UNITS OR OTHER INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE BOARD IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD (A) CAUSE THE COMPANY TO HAVE MORE THAN 100 PARTNERS WITHIN THE MEANING OF TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.7704-1(H), (B) WOULD OCCUR AT A TIME WHEN THE COMPANY HAS MORE THAN 100 PARTNERS OR (C) CAUSE THE COMPANY TO BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY FOR PURPOSES OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED.

12.2 Void Transfers. Any Transfer by any Holder of any Units or other interest in the Company in violation of this Agreement or the Unitholders Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure of the transferee to execute a Joinder) or which would cause the Company to not be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be void and ineffective and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other party, and no such purported assignee shall have any right to vote on any matter or any right to any Profits, Losses or Distributions, receive reports or other information or to inspect the records, of the Company. No Holder shall pledge or otherwise encumber all or any portion of his, her or its interest in the Company without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

12.3 Effect of Assignment.

(a) Any Member who shall assign any Units or other interest in the Company (any such Member, an “Assignor”) shall cease to be a Member of the Company with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest, including the power and right to vote (in proportion to the extent of the interest Transferred) on any matter submitted to the Members, and, for voting purposes, such interest shall not be counted as outstanding in proportion to the extent of the interest Transferred unless and until the transferee is admitted as a Member in accordance with Section 12.5.

(b) Subject to the terms of this Section 12.3 any Person who acquires in any manner whatsoever any Units or other interest in the Company (any such Person, an “Assignee”), irrespective of whether such Person has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Unitholders Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of the benefits of the acquisition thereof to have agreed to be subject to and bound by all of the terms, conditions and obligations (but none of the rights or benefits) of this Agreement and the Unitholders Agreement that any transferor of such Units or other interest in the Company of such Person was subject to or by which such transferor was bound.

(c) A Transfer by a Member or other Holder shall not itself dissolve the Company or entitle the Assignee to become a Member or exercise any rights of a Member. An Assignee that is not admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 12.5 shall be entitled only to the Economic Interest with respect to the Units held thereby and shall have no other rights with respect to the interest Transferred, including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, to inspect the books or records of the Company or to any other information to which a Member would be entitled under Section 18-305 of the Act (subject to the terms of this Agreement). If an Assignee becomes a Member in accordance with Section 12.5, the voting and other rights associated with the interest held by the Assignee shall be restored and be held by the Member, along with all other rights attendant to the interest Transferred.

12.4 Deliveries for Transfer.

(a) In connection with the Transfer of any Units, the Holder of such Units shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the Transfer or proposed Transfer. In addition, in the case of any Certificated Units (as defined below), if the Holder of such Units delivers to the Company an opinion of such counsel that such Transfer and any subsequent Transfer of such Units will not require registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon such contemplated Transfer deliver new certificates or instruments, as the case may be, for such Units which do not bear the restrictive legend relating to the Securities Act as set forth below. If the Company is not required to deliver new certificates or instruments, as the case may be, for such Units not bearing such legend, the Holder of such Units shall not Transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section 12.4.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article XII, no Transfer of Units or any other interest in the Company may be made unless in the opinion of counsel (who may but need not be counsel for the Company), satisfactory in form and substance to the Board (which opinion may be waived, in whole or in part, at the discretion of the Board), such Transfer would not violate any federal securities laws or any state or provincial securities or “blue sky” laws (including any investor suitability standards) applicable to the Company or the interest to be transferred, or cause the Company to be required to register as an “Investment Company” under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Such opinion of counsel shall be delivered in writing to the Company prior to the date of the Transfer.

(c) In order to permit the Company to qualify for the benefit of a “safe harbor” under Code Section 7704, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the unit purchase agreements pursuant to which any Unit was issued, no Transfer of any Unit or economic interest shall be permitted or recognized by the Company or the Board (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) if and to the extent that such Transfer would cause the Company to have more than 100 partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)).

(d) In addition to the foregoing, a Transfer shall be valid hereunder only if: (i) the Transferring Holder and the Assignee each execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be reasonably requested by the Board (including, without limitation, a Joinder) to effect such Transfer and to confirm the agreement of the Assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Unitholders Agreement; and (ii) the Transferring Holder and the Assignee provide to the Board the Assignee’s taxpayer identification number and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal, state and local tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns.

(e) Upon any Transfer to an Assignee in accordance with the foregoing, the Board or an authorized officer of the Company shall amend Schedule A without the further vote, act or consent of any other Person to reflect the status of such Assignee as a non-Member Holder.

12.5 Admission of Assignee as Member. Subject to the other provisions of this Article XII, an Assignee may be admitted to the Company as a Member only if: (x) the Board gives prior written consent regarding the admission (which consent may be given or withheld at the Board’s sole discretion), provided that the Board shall automatically be deemed to have consented to the admission of any Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Unitholders Agreement); and (y) the Assignee becomes a party to this Agreement as a Member by executing a Joinder and executing such other documents and instruments as the Board may reasonably request as necessary or appropriate to confirm such Assignee as a Member in the Company and such Assignee’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Unitholders Agreement. Upon admission as a Member, the Assignee shall, to the extent assigned, have the rights and powers, and be subject to the restrictions and liabilities, of a Member under the Act and this Agreement, and shall further be liable for any obligations of the Transferring Member to make future capital contributions (if any). Upon the admission of an Assignee as a Member, the Board or an authorized officer of the Company shall amend Schedule A without the further vote, act or consent of any other Person to reflect the change in status of such Assignee from a non-Member Holder to a Member.

12.6 Effect of Admission of Member on Assignor and Company. Notwithstanding the admission of an Assignee as a Member and except as otherwise expressly approved by the Board, the Assignor shall not be released from any obligations to the Company existing as of the date of the Transfer (other than obligations of the Assignor to make future capital contributions, if any), including without limitation those obligations set forth in Sections 5.1, 8.14 and 15.11, but, if such Assignor has not already ceased to be a Member pursuant to Section 12.3(a), such admission shall cause an Assignor that is a Member to cease to be a Member with respect to the interest Transferred when the Assignee becomes a Member.

12.7 Distributions and Allocations Regarding Transferred Units. Upon any Transfer during any Fiscal Year of the Company made in compliance with the provisions of this Article XII, Profits, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such

Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated between the Assignor and the Assignee by taking into account their varying interests during such Fiscal Year, using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Board. All Distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the Assignor, and all Distributions thereafter shall be made to the Assignee. Solely for purposes of making such allocations and Distributions, the Company shall recognize such Transfer not later than the end of the calendar month during which it is given notice of such Transfer; provided that, if the Company is given notice of a Transfer at least 10 business days prior to the Transfer, the Company shall recognize such Transfer as the date of such Transfer, and provided further that, if the Company does not receive a notice stating the date such interest was Transferred and such other information as the Board may reasonably require within 30 days after the end of the Fiscal Year during which the Transfer occurs, then all such items shall be allocated, and all Distributions shall be made, to the Holder that, according to the books and records of the Company, was the owner of the interest on the last day of the Fiscal Year during which the Transfer occurs. Neither the Company nor the Board shall incur any liability for making allocations and Distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.7, whether or not the Company or the Board has knowledge of any Transfer of any interest.

12.8 Legend. In the event that certificates representing the Units or other interests in the Company are issued (“Certificated Units”), such certificates will bear the following legend:

“THE UNITS OR OTHER INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [DATE OF ISSUANCE], HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (“STATE ACTS”) AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR STATE ACTS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE TRANSFER OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF , 2007, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, GOVERNING THE ISSUER (THE “COMPANY”) AND BY AND AMONG CERTAIN MEMBERS AND A UNITHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF , 2007, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENTS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

12.9 Transfer Fees and Expenses. The transferor and transferee of any Units or other interest in the Company shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any Transfer or proposed Transfer, whether or not consummated.

ARTICLE XIII

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

13.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following:

(a) a majority vote or written consent of the Board (including the affirmative vote of the MDCP Managers);

(b) the vote or written consent of the Members holding a majority of the Common Units entitled to vote; or

The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, withdrawal, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member shall not cause a dissolution of the Company and thereafter the Company shall continue its existence.

13.2 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Members holding a majority of the Common Units entitled to vote shall appoint a Member or Members to act as liquidator(s). The liquidator(s) shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final Distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until all final Distributions are made, the liquidator(s) shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Members. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator(s) are as follows:

(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator(s) shall cause a proper accounting to be made by one of the four largest accounting firms in the United States of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(b) the liquidator(s) shall cause the notice described in the Act to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described thereunder;

(c) the liquidator(s) shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator(s) may reasonably determine); and

(d) all remaining assets of the Company shall be sold and the proceeds therefrom shall be distributed to the Holders in accordance with Section 5.1 by the end of the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, 90 days after the date of the liquidation).

All Distributions to the Holders under this Section 13.2 shall be made in cash and/or securities, and such Distribution of cash and/or securities to a Holder in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.2 shall constitute a complete return to the Holder of its Capital Contributions and a complete Distribution to the Holder of its interest in the Company and all of the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Act. To the extent that a Holder returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Holder for those funds.

13.3 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the liquidating distribution of Company assets as provided above, the Company shall be deemed to have terminated and the Members (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.5 and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

Upon the approval of the Board of a plan to incorporate the Company (the “Incorporation Plan”), each Holder shall transfer such Holder’s Units to, or authorizes the Board to take such actions as are necessary to convert the Company into, a corporation specifically formed for such purpose (the “Corporation”) as a result of which each Holder shall receive shares of the capital stock of the Corporation in exchange for such Holder’s Units in a transaction intended to qualify under Section 351 of the Code (the “Section 351 Transaction”). Alternatively, upon the approval of the Board of a plan to consummate an underwritten initial public offering of equity securities of Yankee Holding Corp. under the Securities Act (the “IPO Liquidation Plan”), the Board shall cause the dissolution of the Company (the “IPO Liquidation Transaction”) as a result of which each Holder shall receive shares of the capital stock of Yankee Holding Corp. in exchange for such Holder’s Units in a transaction intended to be treated as a distribution by the Company of the shares of Yankee Holding Corp. to the Holders for purposes of Section 731 of the Code. The capital stock of the Corporation (or Yankee Holding Corp., as applicable) received in exchange for each Holder’s Units shall preserve the relative rights and preferences of the Units as set forth in this Agreement and any vesting provisions applicable to any particular Holder’s Units; provided that in the case of a Section 351 Transaction effected in order to facilitate a potential IPO or a IPO Liquidation Transaction, each Holder’s Units shall be exchanged for one class of common stock of the Corporation or Yankee Holding Corp. (in each case, the “New Common”) as follows: each Holder of Units shall receive a number of shares of New Common equal to the quotient of: (i) the amount such Holder would have received in respect of such Holder’s Units in a complete liquidation of the Company at the time of the IPO in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, at the valuation accorded to the Company or Yankee Holding Corp. in such IPO, divided by (ii) the price per share at which the New Common is being offered to the public in the IPO, and in the case of each of subsection (i) and (ii), which shall be net of underwriting discounts and commissions; provided that, if the Incorporation Plan (or IPO Liquidation Plan, as applicable) is consummated in advance of or in preparation for a proposed IPO and the price at which the New Common is being offered to the public is not yet known, the Board may select an estimated price

to the public in good faith, in which case the number of shares of New Common issued to any Holder shall be adjusted following final determination of the price to the public in the IPO.

Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

15.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Unitholders Agreement and each Member’s respective purchase agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Members and their Affiliates relating to the Company and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written. The Unitholders Agreement is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein.

15.5 Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person 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 Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

15.6 Amendment, Modification or Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived from time to time only by a written instrument adopted by the Board and executed and agreed to by the Members holding a majority of the Common Units, provided that: (A) an amendment, modification or waiver requiring additional Capital Contributions from any Member shall be effective only with that Member’s written consent, (B) an amendment or modification that would affect any class of Units in a manner materially adverse to any other class of Units or materially adverse solely to such class of Units, shall be effective against the holders of that class of Units so materially adversely affected only with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of such class of Units (it being understood and agreed that an increase in the number of Class B Common Units available for issuance shall not constitute a material adverse effect on the holders of Class B Common Units and therefore shall not require a separate vote of the holders of Class B Common Units) and (C) an amendment, modification or waiver reducing the required interests for any consent or vote in this Agreement shall be effective only with the written consent or vote of that percentage of Members having the interest theretofore previously required; provided further that the Board may amend and modify the provisions of this Agreement and Schedule A from time to time to the extent necessary to reflect (I) the issuance of new Units or other interests in the Company, (II) the admission of new Members and substituted Members or (III) the cancellation or repurchase of Class B Common Units or other Units which have been issued subject to vesting or similar arrangements.

15.7 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

15.8 Governing Law; Severability. The limited liability company law of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues and questions concerning the relative rights of the Company and its Members. All other issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law, rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

15.9 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

15.10 Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Holder irrevocably waives any right such Holder may have to (a) demand any Distributions (other than, before such Holder has resigned or withdrawn from the Company, Distributions required pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof) or withdrawal of property from the Company (whether upon resignation, withdrawal or otherwise) or (b) maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company (including under Section 18-604 of the Act), except upon dissolution of the Company pursuant to Article XIII hereof. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the Company shall not be separated or segmented pursuant to the provisions of Section 18-215 of the Act.

15.11 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Certain Payments. If the Company is obligated under applicable law to pay any amount to a governmental agency because of the status of a Holder as a Holder of the Company or for federal or state withholding taxes on payments made to a Holder or on income allocated to a Holder, including but not limited to personal property replacement taxes and personal property taxes, then such Holder (the “Indemnifying Person”) shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including, without limitation, any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments). A Holder’s obligations to comply with the requirements of this Section 15.11 shall survive such Holder’s ceasing to be a Holder of the Company and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and, for purposes of this Section 15.11, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. The amount to be indemnified shall be charged against the Capital Account of the Indemnifying Person, and, at the option of the Board, either:

(a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company, the Indemnifying Person shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to the full amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid shall be added to the Indemnifying Person’s Capital Account but shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution), or

(b) the Company shall reduce Distributions which would otherwise be made to the Indemnifying Person, until the Company has recovered the amount to be indemnified (and, notwithstanding Section 4.1, the amount withheld shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution).

15.12 Opt-in to Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Members hereby agree that the Units shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction).

15.13 Notice to Members of Provisions. By executing this Agreement, each Member acknowledges that it has actual notice of (a) all of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Article XII) and (b) all of the provisions of the Certificate.

15.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple 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.

15.15 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the area encompassed by the State of Delaware and irrevocably agree that all actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be litigated in such courts. The parties hereto each accept for itself and in connection with its respective properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts and waive any defense of forum non conveniens, and irrevocably agree to be bound by any final, nonappealable judgment rendered thereby in connection with this agreement.

15.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Holders waive their respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the relationship that is being established. The Holders also waive any bond or surety or security upon such bond which might, but for this waiver, be required of any of the other parties. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. The Holders acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. The Holders further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its or his, as the case may be, legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its or his, as the case may be, jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and the waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement or to any other documents or agreements relating to the transaction completed hereby. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

15.17 Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the Company or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement executed by the Company in favor of such creditor) at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in Profits, Losses, Distributions, capital or property other than as a secured creditor.

15.18 Title to Company Assets. The Company assets shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Unitholder, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. Legal title to any or all Company assets may be held in the name of the Company, the Board or one or more nominees, as the Board may determine. The Board hereby declares and warrants that any Company assets

for which legal title is held in its name or the name of any nominee shall be held in trust by the Board or such nominee for the use and benefit of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held.

15.19 Parties in Interest. Except as expressly provided in the Act, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the Members and their respective successors and assigns nor shall anything in this Agreement relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any other Person to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any other Person any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.

15.20 Adjustment of Numbers. Subject to Section 15.6, all numbers set forth herein that refer to unit prices or amounts shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board in good faith to reflect Unit splits, Unit dividends, combinations of Units and other recapitalizations affecting the subject class of equity.
