Notice need not be given to any Manager if a written waiver of notice is given by such Manager before or after such meeting and the presence of any Manager at a meeting in person or telephonically shall constitute waiver of notice.

(c)                                  Quorum. A quorum for the transaction of business by the Board shall consist of a majority of the Managers and a quorum for the transaction of business by a Board committee shall consist of a majority of such committee members.

(d)                                 Presence and Proxy.

4.5                               Conversion to Corporation.

(a)                                 At any time, in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s securities, the Board shall have the power and authority to, and shall, effect (a) the conversion of the Company’s business form from a limited liability company to a Delaware corporation, (b) the merger of the Company with or into a new or previously-established but dormant Delaware corporation having no assets or liabilities, debts or other obligations of any kind whatsoever other than those associated with its formation and initial capitalization, or (c) the contribution of the assets and liabilities of the Company to a Delaware corporation in exchange for one or more classes of common stock in such corporation, followed by a liquidation of the Company and a distribution of such corporation’s common stock to the Members (such a conversion, merger or liquidation is referred to as a “Conversion” and such Delaware corporation is referred to as the “Public Vehicle”). In connection with a Conversion, the Units held by each Member shall be converted into or exchanged for a number of shares of the Public Vehicle’s capital stock based on the then fair market value of the Company (determined by reference to the actual offering price of the Public Vehicle’s common stock and the number and classes of shares of capital stock to be outstanding after such offering). As long as such decision satisfies the requirements of the foregoing sentence, the Board’s determination of the number of shares of the Public Vehicle’s capital stock that each Member receives upon a Conversion shall be final and binding on the Members absent manifest arithmetic error. The Board shall use reasonable efforts to undertake any Conversion in such manner as would provide for no gain or loss to be recognized by the Members solely as a result of the Conversion.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any provision of Section 4.5(a) to the contrary, in lieu of a Blocker Corp. receiving shares of capital stock of the Public Vehicle in exchange for its Units, an Indirect Member may transfer the Blocker Stock to the Public Vehicle in exchange for the number of shares that Blocker Corp. would otherwise have received in the Conversion, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to structure such exchange so as to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 351 of the Code, if and only if, prior to the transfer of its Blocker Stock as set forth in this Section 4.5(b), the Indirect Member has not breached the provisions of Section 4.5(c) hereof and all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below are met:

(3)                                 other than the ownership of certain Citation debt as described in the recitals of the Conversion and Contribution agreement and the subsequent equity conversion of such debt, the Blocker Corp.’s sole assets consist of, and have since its inception consisted of, its corporate records, the Units, and cash or cash equivalents or property distributed to Blocker Corp. as an in-kind distribution, in each case, derived from owning the Units;

(4)                                 the Blocker Corp. has timely filed (or has filed and has paid all assessed penalties and interest), including extensions thereof, all material federal, foreign, state and local tax returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Blocker Corp. prior to the date on which the Blocker Stock is transferred to the Public Vehicle pursuant to Section 4.5(b), and the Blocker Corp. has paid in full or accrued for all income and other taxes, and any interest or penalties with respect thereto shown to be due on such tax returns;

(5)                                 the Blocker Corp.’s sole liabilities consist of such taxes, interest, and penalties resulting from the ownership of the Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by Sections 4.5(b) (the “Unpaid Taxes”) or obligations under this Agreement, the Securityholders Agreement or those immaterial liabilities incidental to the preparation of any tax returns and other corporate records and the maintenance of the Blocker Corp. as a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Other Liabilities”);

(6)                                 the Blocker Stock represents all of the issued, outstanding and authorized securities of the Blocker Corp.; and

(7)                                 the Indirect Member will provide the Company or the Public Vehicle with access to the corporate records, financial statements, tax returns and other documents of the Blocker Corp. reasonably requested by the Company or the Public Vehicle.

(ii)                                  The Indirect Member shall covenant and agree in writing to indemnify, defend and hold the Company, the Public Vehicle and each Member harmless from and against (1) any Unpaid Taxes (but only to the extent such Unpaid Taxes are attributable to time periods prior to the Conversion) and any Other Liabilities, and (2) all liabilities, damages, losses, obligations, actions and similar amounts (and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of such amounts) resulting from or arising out of a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements made by Indirect Member pursuant to Sections 4.5(b) and (c).

(c)                                  Each Indirect Member covenants and agrees to make available to the Company and the Public Vehicle, from time to time, (I) all information, records, or documents of the Blocker Corp. relating to taxes for all taxable periods or portions thereof from the date of the Blocker

15

Corp.’s incorporation and ending on the date on which the Blocker Stock is transferred to the Public Vehicle pursuant to this Section 4.5, and (2) all financial statements and related information of the Blocker Corp. for the same period referenced in clause (1), and the Indirect Member further covenants and agrees to preserve all such information, records, and documents and to deliver all such information, records, and documents to the Public Vehicle upon the consummation of the transfer of the Blocker Stock by the Indirect Member to the Public Vehicle pursuant to this Section 4.5.

Unless approved by the Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement, as applicable, no additional Capital Contribution by a Member (other than any Capital Contribution made at the time of and in connection with a Member’s purchase of additional Units) shall affect the number of Units to which such Member is entitled.

ARTICLE 7

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

7.1                               Initial Capital Contributions; Capital of the Company. The Initial Capital Contributions will be valued at the amounts specified on Schedule 1, which amounts shall be reflected as the opening Capital Account of each of the Members as of the effective date hereof. The capital of the Company shall be the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions of the Members.

7.2                               Capital Account. A Capital Account shall be established for each Member and shall be maintained in accordance with Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Consistent with such Treasury Regulations, there shall be credited to each Member’s Capital Account (a) the amount of any cash or the Gross Asset Value of any property contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company (net of any liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to), (b) such Member’s share of

18

Net Income (as determined in accordance with Section 8.1), (c) any items of income or gain allocated to a Member pursuant to Section 8.2, and there shall be debited to each Member’s Capital Account, (d) the amount of any cash or the Gross Asset Value of any property distributed by the Company to such Member (net of any liabilities secured by such distributed property that the Member is deemed to assume or take subject to), (e) such Member’s share of Net Losses (as determined in accordance with Section 8.1), and (f) any items of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 8.2.

Any such loans shall be repaid at such times and with such interest (at rates not to exceed the maximum permitted by law) as the Board and the lending Member shall reasonably agree.

ARTICLE 8

ALLOCATIONS

8.1                               Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses. The Net Income and Net Losses for any fiscal year or partial fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Accounts of the Members are in proportion to their respective number of Units.

19

8.2                               Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1, the following allocations of items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be made:

(a)                                         If in any taxable year there is a net decrease in the amount of the Company’s Minimum Gain, each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain for that year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(j). This Section 8.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b)                                         If, during any taxable year a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), then items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 8 have been tentatively made as if this Section 8.2(b) were not in the Agreement. This Section 8.2(b) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c)                                          If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any fiscal year that is in excess of the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 8 have been tentatively made as if Section 8.2(b) and this Section 8.2(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d)                                         Nonrecourse deductions (as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1) and 2(c)) for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective number of Units.

(e)                                          To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a Distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to 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) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company if Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the

20

Member to whom such distribution was made if Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

8.3                               Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 8.2 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. The Members intend that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 8.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Board shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 8.1. In exercising its discretion under this Section 8.3, the Board shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 8.2(a) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 8.2(c).

8.4                               Other Allocation Rules.

(a)                                 For purposes of determining the Net Income, Net Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Net Income, Net Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Board using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b)                                 Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Company profits are in proportion to their respective Units.

(c)                                  To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Board shall endeavor to treat Distributions of Net Cash Flow as having been made from the proceeds of a nonrecourse liability only to the extent that such Distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member.

8.5                               Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members 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 initial Gross Asset Value. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction 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 Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made in a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this

21

Agreement and using any method selected by the Board from among those authorized by Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.5 are solely for the purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, other items, or Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9

DISTRIBUTIONS

9.1                               Distributions. Except as provided in Section 9.2 (with respect to tax advances) and Section 15.3(c) (with respect to a Dissolution Event), Net Cash Flow may be, but shall not be required to be, distributed from time to time by action of the Board to the Members in proportion to their respective number of Units.

9.2                               Tax Advances. As soon as practicable after the close of each calendar quarter (but in no event less than 15 days after the end of such calendar quarter), the Board shall estimate the amount of the Company’s taxable income allocable to each Member for federal income tax purposes for the period beginning on the first day of the fiscal year through the end of such calendar quarter. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.3, the Company shall advance to the Members at such time an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 46% of the Company’s taxable income estimated to be allocable to the Members from the beginning of the fiscal year containing such calendar quarter through the end of such calendar quarter over (b) the total Distributions pursuant to Section 9.1 or advances pursuant to Section 9.2 previously or contemporaneously made to the Members for the fiscal year containing such calendar quarter. All advances to Members pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be made to the Members in proportion to their respective number of Units. The 46% rate assumed in the immediately preceding sentence may be adjusted by the Board to reflect changes in overall tax rates. If, pursuant to Section 9.3, the Company is unable to make all advances required by this Section 9.2 to be made in any given calendar quarter, then the advance to each Member shall be reduced in proportion to such Member’s respective number of Units. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.3, the amount of such reduction shall be advanced to each such Member in each succeeding calendar quarter until paid in full. All advances made to a Member pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall constitute an advance of amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to such Member at a later time pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 15.3(c) and as such shall be governed by Section 9.1 or Section 15.3(c), as appropriate, and subject to any limitations set forth therein.

9.3                               General Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 9, the Company shall not make a Distribution to any Member with respect to such Member’s Membership Interest if (i) such Distribution would be prohibited under, or by its payment would result in an event of default under, any agreement pursuant to which indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is issued, (ii) such Distribution would be prohibited under Section 18-607 of the Act (Limitations on Distribution) or other applicable law, (iii) the Board resolves not to make a Distribution, which resolution must include the affirmative consent of the Manager elected by the Majority GSC Holders, as applicable, which consent may be withheld in such Manager’s sole discretion, or (iv) the Company is unable at the time of the proposed Distribution, or would become unable immediately following such proposed Distribution, to pay its debts as they become due. In no event shall the Company be obligated to make any Distribution if

22

it does not have cash available (including under a line of credit or revolver) to make such Distribution.

ARTICLE 10

ASSIGNMENT OR TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP INTEREST

10.1                        Prohibition on Transfer Generally.

(a)                                 Except as may be provided in a Securityholders Agreement, no Member shall sell, transfer, assign, give or otherwise dispose of, pledge or encumber the Membership Interest of such Member or any part thereof whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise without the consent of the Board (a “Transfer”).

(b)                                 Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, upon the death or legal incapacity of an individual holding Units, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect

10.2                        Rights of Assignees of Membership Interest. If an assignment of a Membership Interest (whether permitted pursuant to the terms hereof or of any applicable Securityholders’ Agreement or in breach of such terms) occurs, the assignee of such Membership Interest shall not have the right to become a Substitute or Additional Member except upon admission to the Company as a Member pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.1. An assignment of a Membership Interest shall only transfer to the assignee thereof the assignor’s right to the profits, losses, Distributions and capital of the Company with respect to the related Membership Interest and shall not transfer to such assignee any interest in the voting rights formerly associated with such Membership Interest or any other rights hereunder until and unless such assignee is admitted as a Member hereunder. Units held by an assignee who is not admitted as a Member of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of determining the number of Units voted on any matter. Any notice required to be given to an assignee who is not admitted as a Member of the Company may be given to the Member who transferred such Membership Interest in lieu of giving such notice to such assignee.

10.3                        Transfer During Taxable Year. In the case of the Transfer of a Member’s Membership Interest (or portion thereof or interest therein) at any time other than the end of an accounting year of the Company, the distributive share of the various items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or allowance in respect of the Membership Interest so transferred as computed for federal income tax purposes or for purposes of the tax laws of any state or jurisdiction shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee to take into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company during the taxable year in accordance with Code Section 706(d) using any convention permitted by law and selected by the Board. The effective date of a Transfer shall be (a) in the case of voluntary Transfer, the effective date stated in the assignment or such other date as is mutually agreed between transferor and transferee or (b) in the case of an involuntary Transfer, the date of the operative event, but, unless the transferor, transferee and the Company otherwise agree, such effective date shall not affect any Distribution made by the Company to the transferor or contributions made by the transferor to the Company prior to the date of notice to the Company of such Transfer.

23

10.4                        Further Restrictions on Transfer. The other provisions of this Article 10 notwithstanding, and in addition to any restrictions on Transfer set forth in any Securityholders Agreement, no Transfer of any Membership Interest of any Member in the Company shall be made unless the Company shall, if it so requests, receive an opinion of the Company’s counsel that such Transfer, (a) would not violate the then applicable federal and state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over such Transfer, (b) would not result in the Company being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes (including Code Section 7704) or being terminated under Code Section 708(b), unless in the case of a termination under Code Section 708(b), such termination would not have a material adverse effect on any non-transferring party’s present or future allocable share of the Company’s taxable income or loss with respect to its Membership Interest as compared to its present or future allocable share of the Company’s taxable income or loss if there had not been such a termination, or (c) would not cause a dissolution of the Company or otherwise affect the Company’s existence or qualification as a limited liability company under the Act.

ARTICLE 11

PARTITION; WITHDRAWAL

27

meeting of the Board or committee which authorized the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose if (a) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board or committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction; or (b) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board.
