occurred as of such time) and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments to the Adjustment Factor will be made for any class or series of Units to the extent that the Company makes or effects any correlative distribution or payment to all of the Members holding Units of such class or series, or effects any correlative split or reverse split in respect of the Units of such class or series.

In the event that any Member is admitted to the Company and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Company, such transaction shall be treated by the Company and the affected Member as if the Company had compensated such Member in cash and such Member had contributed the cash to the capital of the Company in accordance with the principles promulgated in proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1. In addition, with the consent of the Manager, one or more Members (including the Manager) may enter into contribution agreements with the Company which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Company.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.1                                    Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. From time to time, as determined by the Manager, the Manager shall cause the Company to pay distributions, in such amounts as the Manager may determine, to the Holders of Common Units pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as of the close of business on the applicable Company Record Date. Distributions payable with respect to any Units that were not outstanding during the entire period in respect of which any distribution is made (other than any Units issued to a Member in connection with the issuance of Common Shares or Capital Shares by SDC Inc.) shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Units were outstanding.

Section 4.2                                    Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make distributions to each Member, pro rata in accordance with Members’ respective Percentage Interests of Units on the applicable Company Record Date, in an amount equal to (i) an amount that is at least sufficient for each Member to pay the Annual Income Tax Liability attributable to such Member with respect to the portion of the applicable Taxable Year that has elapsed as of the date of such distribution minus (ii) the sum of all distributions previously made pursuant to this Section 4.2 with respect to the Units held by such Member as of the applicable Company Record Date with respect to such Taxable Year. All distributions made to Members pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be treated as advance distributions and shall be taken into account in determining the amount subsequently distributed to Members under Section 4.1. The amounts distributable

23

pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be calculated and distributed (a) quarterly, on an estimated basis, with respect to the portion of the Taxable Year through the end of such quarterly period, at least five (5) days prior to the date on which U.S. federal corporate estimated tax payments are due for such quarter, or (b) with respect to each Taxable Year, as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of such Taxable Year (or as soon as reasonably practicable after any event that subsequently adjusts the taxable income of such Taxable Year), provided, however, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any distribution pursuant to this Section 4.2 with respect to a particular quarter on a date that is at least three (3) business days prior to the Specified Redemption Date for such quarter, if applicable.

Section 4.3                                    Distributions in Kind. No Holder may demand to receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The Manager may cause the Company to make a distribution in kind of Company assets or Units to the Holders, and such assets or Units shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value (as determined by the Manager, whose determination shall be conclusive) is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles IV, V and IX.

Section 4.4                                    Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax Law and Section 9.5 with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Holder shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such Holder pursuant to Section 4.1, except as provided in Section 9.5.

Section 4.5                                    Distributions upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the assets of the Company shall be distributed to the holders of Units in accordance with Section 13.2 and Section 13.3.

Section 4.6                                    Revisions to Reflect Additional Units. In the event that the Company issues additional Units pursuant to the provisions of Article III, the Manager is hereby authorized to make such revisions to this Article IV and to Article V as it determines are necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Units, including making preferential distributions to certain classes of Units.

Section 4.7                                    Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Manager, on behalf of the Company, shall make a distribution to any Holder if such distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable Law.

Section 4.8                                    Calculation of Distributions. In calculating all distributions payable to any holders of Units, the Manager shall round the amount per unit to the nearest whole cent ($0.01), with one-half cent rounded upward.

24

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS

Section 5.1                                    Capital Accounts.

(a)                                 The Company shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member according to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For this purpose, the Company may (as determined by the Manager), upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such Treasury Regulations and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company property.

(b)                                 For purposes of computing the amount of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction to be allocated pursuant to this Article V and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Members, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose); provided, however, that:

(i)                                     The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include those items described in Section 705(a)(l)(B) or Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code and Treasury Regulations 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 U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(ii)                                  If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations 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.

(iii)                               Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Company 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.

(iv)                              Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Company 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 Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v)                                 To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations 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).

Section 5.2                                    Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, Net Profits and Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

25

Section 5.3                                    Regulatory Allocations.

(a)                                 Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Taxable Year in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.3(a) is intended to be a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(b)                                 Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Taxable Year shall be allocated pro rata among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3(a), if there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 2(f). This Section 5.3(b) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c)                                  If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or Distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the application of Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) but before the application of any other provision of this Article V, then Profits for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 5.3(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(d)                                 If the allocation of Net Losses to a Member as provided in Section 5.2 would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Losses as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Losses that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to this Section 5.3(d).

(e)                                  Profits and Losses described in Section 5.1(b)(v) 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 Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j), (k) and (m).

(f)                                   The allocations set forth in Sections 5.3(a) through and including 5.3(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and Section 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. The Manager may modify the manner in which Capital Accounts are computed if the Manager determines such modification is necessary to comply with the Regulatory Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in

26

which the Members intend to allocate Profit and Loss of the Company or make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction and loss shall be reallocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) 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. In addition, if in any Taxable Year there is a decrease in Minimum Gain, or in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, and application of the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b) would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members, the Manager may, if it is not reasonably expected that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such minimum gain chargeback requirements. If such request is granted, this Agreement shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such minimum gain chargeback requirement.

Section 5.4                                    Final Allocations. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement except Section 5.3, the Manager shall make appropriate adjustments to allocations of Profits and Losses to (or, if necessary, allocate items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company among) the Members upon the liquidation of the Company (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), the transfer of substantially all the Units (whether by sale or exchange or merger) or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, such that, to the maximum extent possible, the Capital Accounts of the Members are proportionate to their Percentage Interests. In each case, such adjustments or allocations shall occur, to the maximum extent possible, in the Taxable Year of the event requiring such adjustments or allocations.

Section 5.5                                    Tax Allocations.

(a)                                 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.5, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, each Company item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 5.5(a), each Company item of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value using the traditional method set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

(c)                                  If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.1(b), including adjustments to the Book Value of any Company asset in connection with the execution of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value using the traditional method set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

27

(d)                                 Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members as determined by the Manager, taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e)                                  For purposes of determining a Member’s share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in income and gain shall be determined pursuant to any proper method, as reasonably determined by the Manager in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3).

(f)                                   Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.5 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, Distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

MANAGEMENT

Section 6.1                                    Authority of Manager.

(a)                                 Except for situations in which the approval of one or more Non-Manager Members is specifically required by this Agreement, the Manager shall have full, exclusive and complete discretion to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company, to make all decisions affecting the business and affairs of the Company and to do, or cause to be done, any and all acts at the expense of the Company, as it deems necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes, conduct the business and direct the affairs of the Company. The Manager shall have the power and authority to bind the Company. The Manager may expressly delegate in writing to any other Person the power and authority to bind the Company. No such delegation shall cause the Manager to cease to be a Member or the Manager of the Company. The Manager shall be an agent of the Company, and the actions of the Manager taken in such capacity and in accordance with this Agreement shall bind the Company. The Manager shall at all times be a Member. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, of all such powers and rights conferred on the Members by the Delaware Act with respect to the management and control of the Company. Except as otherwise required by Law or as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Non-Manager Members shall not participate in the control, management, direction or operation of the activities or affairs of the Company and shall have no power to act for or bind the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no Non-Manager Member shall be agent of the Company solely by virtue of being a Non-Manager Member, and no Non-Manager Member shall have the authority to act for the Company solely by virtue of being a Non-Manager Member. Any Non-Manager Member who takes any action or binds the Company in its capacity as a Member in violation of this Section 6.1 shall be solely responsible for any loss and expense incurred by the Company as a result of the unauthorized action and shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless with respect to the loss or expense. The transaction of any such business by or on behalf of the Manager, in its capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitation on the liability of the Members under this Agreement. For the

28

avoidance of doubt, the vote or approval required under this Agreement for any action taken by the Company shall govern and supersede any default voting standard set forth in the Delaware Act, including, without limitation, any default voting standard that requires unanimous consent of the Members.

(b)                                 The Manager on behalf of the Company may, from time to time, employ and retain individuals as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business, including employees, agents and other Persons (any of whom may be a Member) and any of whom may be designated as officers of the Company (each, an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), with such titles as and to the extent authorized by the Manager. Officers need not be Members or residents of the State of Delaware. 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 in the manner hereinafter provided. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by the Manager. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause at any time by the Manager. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to the other provisions in this Agreement, the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the employees, agents or Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager. The employees, agents or Officers shall have the responsibility to carry on the Company’s business and affairs on a day-to-day basis and those other duties, authorities and responsibilities that the Manager may, from time to time, delegate. The existing Officers of the Company as of the Effective Time shall remain in their respective positions and shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Manager.

(c)                                  The Manager shall have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization, conversion or other combination of the Company with or into another entity.

(d)                                 Only the Manager may commence a voluntary case on behalf of, or an involuntary case against, the Company under a chapter of Title 11 U.S.C. by the filing of a “petition” (as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101(42)) with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Any such petition filed by any other Member, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall be deemed an unauthorized and bad faith filing and all parties to this Agreement shall use their best efforts to cause such petition to be dismissed.

Section 6.2                                    Transactions Between Company and Manager or Officers. The Manager may cause the Company to contract and deal with the Manager, any Affiliate of the Manager, any director (or equivalent), officer or employee of the Manager or any Officer, on such terms and for such compensation as the Manager may determine. Persons retained, engaged or employed by the Company may also be engaged, retained or employed by and act on behalf of the Manager or any of its Affiliates.

29

Section 6.3                                    Rights to Engage in Other Business. Subject to Section 7.6, any director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of the Manager or the Company may acquire, own, hold and dispose of Units, for his or her individual account, and may exercise all rights of a Member to the same extent and in the same manner as if he or she were not a director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of the Manager or the Company. Any such director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent may be interested as a director (or equivalent), officer, trustee, stockholder, owner, partner, member, advisor or employee of, or otherwise have a direct or indirect interest in, (a) any Person who may be engaged to render advice or services to the Company, and may receive compensation from such Person as well as compensation as a director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of, or otherwise from, the Manager or the Company or (b) any Person to whom the Company may be engaged to render advice or services, and may receive compensation from such Person as well as compensation as a director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of, or otherwise from, the Manager or the Company. Any director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of the Manager or the Company may buy or sell property or services from or to the Company. Subject to Section 7.6, none of the foregoing positions, ownership interests or activities shall be deemed to conflict with his or her duties and powers as a director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of the Manager or the Company, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.3 is not intended to supersede or modify the express terms of any written agreement between or among any director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of the Manager or the Company, on the one hand, and the Manager or the Company, on the other hand.

Section 6.4                                    Reimbursement for Expenses. The Company shall be liable for, and shall reimburse the Manager on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the Manager may determine, for all sums expended in connection with the Company’s business, including (i) expenses relating to the ownership of interests in and management and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Company, (ii) compensation of officers and employees of the Manager, if any, including payments under future compensation plans of the Manager and the Company that may provide for stock units, or phantom stock, pursuant to which employees of the Manager or the Company will receive payments based upon dividends on or the value of Class A Shares, (iii) costs of indemnifying directors, officers, employees or agents of the Manager (including advancement of expenses), in their respective capacities as such, whether pursuant to the Manager’s governing documents or otherwise, (iv) director fees and expenses, (v) all costs and expenses of the Manager being a public company, including costs of filings with the SEC, reports and other distributions to its stockholders and (vi) all organizational and operational expenses reasonably incurred by the Manager, including all payments, advances and other expenses in connection with any indemnity or similar obligation of the Manager. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of the Manager as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the Manager or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.4 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts. If at any time the Manager is different from SDC Inc., SDC Inc. shall be entitled, so long as there are Common Units outstanding that may be Redeemed pursuant to Article XI, to be reimbursed by the Company in the same manner

30

as the Manager pursuant to this Section 6.4. For the avoidance of doubt, distributions made under this Section 6.4 may not be used to pay dividends or distributions on equity securities of SDC Inc.

Section 6.5                                    Limitation of Liability.

(a)                                 Neither the Manger nor any manager, member, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Manager or the Company shall be liable to the Company or any Member for money damages by reason of their service as such. Subject to its obligations and duties as the Manager set forth in the Agreement and applicable Law, the Manager may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents, and shall not be responsible to the Company or any Member for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such employee or agent. The Manger and the managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agent and representatives of the Manager and the Company shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the Manger or any manager, member, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Manager or the Company, as the case may be, in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Manager any manager, member, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Manager or the Company, as the case may be, to liability to the Company or any Member.

(b)                                 Whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein, the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Manager shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or other Members.

(c)                                  Whenever in this Agreement the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “good faith” or under another express standard, (i) the Manager shall act under such express standard and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be subject to any other or different standards, (ii) any resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Manager shall be presumed to have been made, taken or provided in accordance with the standard set forth in this Section 6.5(c) and (iii) notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the Manager acts in good faith, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Manager shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or impose liability upon the Manager or any of the Manager’s Affiliates.

Section 6.6                                    Outside Activities of the Manager. The Manager shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business or operations, other than in connection with (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Units, (b) the management of the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (c) the operation of the Manager as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in the Exchange Act), (d) the offering, sale,

31

syndication, private placement or public offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (e) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their assets or activities, and (f) such activities as are incidental to the foregoing; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided herein, the net proceeds of any financing raised by the Manager pursuant to the preceding clauses (d) and (e) shall be made available to the Company, whether as Capital Contributions, loans or otherwise, as appropriate, and, provided, further, that the Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time hold or acquire assets in its own name or otherwise other than through the Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Manager takes commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such assets are otherwise vested in the Company or its Subsidiaries, through assignment, loan or otherwise or, if it is not commercially reasonable to vest such economic interests in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to reflect such activities and the direct ownership of assets by the Manager. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Manager from executing any guarantee of indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VII

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

Section 7.1                                    Limitation of Liability and Duties of Members and Officers.

(a)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Delaware Act, no current or former Member (including a current or former Manager) or any current or former Officer shall be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a Member or, with respect to the Manager, acting as the Manager of the Company, or, with respect to an Officer, acting in his or her capacity as an Officer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Manager for liabilities of the Company.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 6.5 with respect to the Manager), to the extent that, at Law or in equity, any Member (including the Manager), any Affiliate of a Member or any manager, managing member, general partner, director (or equivalent), officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any Member or of any Affiliate of a Member) has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, to another Member, to any Person who acquires an interest in one or more Units or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, all such duties (including fiduciary duties) are hereby limited solely to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The limitation of duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in one or more Units and each other Person bound by this Agreement as expressly set forth herein, if any, are approved by the Company, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in one or more Units and each other Person bound by this Agreement.

32

Section 7.2                                    No Right of Partition. No Non-Manager Member shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of Law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.

Section 7.3                                    Indemnification.

(a)                                 The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to such amendment), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether or not by or in the right of the Company, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, in connection with any act or omission performed, or omitted to be performed, by such Indemnified Person by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member (including the Manager), is or was serving as a Partnership Representative or an officer or director (or equivalent) of the Manager or the Company, or is or was an officer or director (or equivalent) of the Manager or the Company serving at the request of the Manager or Company as an officer or director (or equivalent) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other entity or which or which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs; provided, however, that no Person shall be indemnified and held harmless under this Section 7.3(a) in respect of a matter if (i) there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court or arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter, the Indemnified Person engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (ii) such matter was initiated by such Indemnified Person unless such matter was (1) initiated to enforce such Indemnified Person’s rights to indemnification under this Agreement or (2) authorized or consented to by the Manager. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(b)                                 The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 7.3 shall be in addition to any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any insurance, statute, agreement, bylaw, action by the Manager or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person.

(c)                                  The Company may, but shall not be required to, maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, or substantially equivalent insurance, at its expense, to protect any Person against any expense, liability or loss, including any expense, liability or loss described in

33

Section 7.3(a) and whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this Section 7.3.

(d)                                 Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, it being agreed that the Members shall not be directly liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(e)                                  An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.3 solely because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies.

(f)                                   The Company shall have the power, with the approval of the Manager, to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to any Person who is not an Indemnified Person.

(g)                                  The Company shall have the power, with the approval of the Manager, to enter into an agreement providing for the obligation of the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to any Person.

(h)                                 If this Section 7.3 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court or arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold each Indemnified Person harmless pursuant to this Section 7.3 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 7.3 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(i)                                     The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall be applicable to all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings made or commenced after the adoption thereof whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring before or after its adoption.

(j)                                    No amendment or other modification of any subsection of this Section 7.3, nor the inclusion of any provision inconsistent with this Section 7.3 shall adversely affect any right or protection of any Indemnified Person established pursuant to this Section 7.3 existing at the time of such amendment or other modification or inclusion of an inconsistent provision, including without limitation by eliminating or reducing the effect of this Section 7.3, for or in respect of any act, omission or other matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Section 7.3, would accrue or arise), prior to such amendment or other modification or inclusion of an inconsistent provision.

Section 7.4                                    Members’ Right to Act. For matters that require the approval of the Members, the Members shall act through meetings and written consents as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:

(a)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, acts by Consent of the Members, voting together as a single class, shall be the acts of the Members. Any Member entitled to vote at a meeting of Members or to express consent or dissent to Company action in a written transmission without a meeting may authorize another Person or Persons to

34

act for it by proxy in accordance with the Delaware Act. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

(b)                                 The actions by the Members permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the Manager or by a Majority in Interest of the Members on at least forty-eight (48) hours’ prior written notice to the other Members entitled to vote, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. The actions taken by the Members entitled to vote or consent at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Members entitled to vote or consent as to whom it was improperly held execute a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The actions by the Members entitled to vote or consent may be taken by vote of the Members entitled to vote or consent at a meeting or by written consent, so long as such consent is signed by Members having not less than the minimum Percentage Interest that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the action so taken, which shall state the purpose or purposes for which such consent is required and may be delivered via email, without a meeting shall be given to those Members entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent of the Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a meeting thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Non-Manager Member shall have any right to approve any matter or action taken by the Company except those matters for which approval or consent of the Members (or such Member) is expressly provided for in this Agreement.

Section 7.5                                    Inspection Rights. The Company shall permit each Member and each of its designated representatives to (a) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, (b) examine the business and financial records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom, and (c) consult with the Manager, and the managers, officers, employees and independent accountants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries concerning the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 7.6                                    Restrictive Covenants.

(a)                                 Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, each Non-Manager Member and each owner of any such Non-Manager Member agrees that, so long as such Non-Manager Member remains a Member of the Company and for a period of two (2) years immediately following the date on which such Non-Manager Member ceases to be a Member, such Non-Manager Member and such Non-Manager Member’s

35

Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any portfolio company controlled by any such Non-Manager Member or its Affiliates) shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i)                                     Solicit or attempt to entice away the employment of any Company Employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any licensed professional or professional entity for which the Company or any of its Affiliates provide services (each, an “Associated PC”), other than help wanted advertisements or recruitment efforts by any recruitment agency that are not specifically targeted at employees or contract workers of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Associated PC, nor hire any such employee or individual who was an employee or contract worker of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Associated PC at any time during the prior twelve (12) months, other than any individual who responds to such general solicitation or who has been terminated by the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Associated PC;

(ii)                                  Solicit any Person who is a customer, client or patient of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Associated PC to cease doing business with the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Associated PC, or with respect to the provision services by a Competing Business;

(iii)                               Unless such interference is required by applicable Law, interfere with any business relationship between the Company, any of its Affiliates or any Associated PC, on the one hand, and any of their respective customers, clients, patients, vendors, suppliers or other Persons having a business relationship therewith, on the other hand.

(iv)                              Make, publish or communicate to any Person or in any public forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments or statements concerning the Company, any of its Affiliates, any Associated PC or any of their businesses; provided, that this Section 7.6(a)(iv) does not, in any way, restrict or impede any Member from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from responding truthfully and in good faith upon demand pursuant to any investigation or inquiry by a governmental authority or as required by applicable Law, subpoena, court order or other compulsory legal process, or in enforcing or defending such Member’s rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event does the Company, any of its Affiliates, any Associated PC or any of their respective businesses waive any claims or causes of action it may have under applicable Law in connection with the making of such disparaging or defamatory statements by any Member;

(v)                                 Engage in (whether as an owner, proprietor, general or limited partner, member, principal, officer, employee, consultant, director, investor, agent or otherwise), or be employed or contracted by, any Competing Business in any state in which the Company does or intends to conduct business (whether or not compensated for such services); provided, that the restriction in this Section 7.6(a)(v) shall not apply to any Member’s passive ownership of (1) any interests in any exchange traded fund or mutual fund or (2) less than five percent (5%) of the securities in any publicly traded company or lending money to any such publicly traded company; nor

36

(vi)                              Except on behalf of the Company, use or operate any enterprise under the name “SmileDirectClub,” “SDC Financial” or any variants thereof;

provided, that nothing in this Section 7.6 shall, except as hereinafter set forth, restrict any portfolio company that the Pre-IPO Members or their respective Affiliates does not control (each, a “Portfolio Company”) from engaging in any activity, including a Competing Business; provided, further, that the Pre-IPO Members shall not (x) provide any of their respective Portfolio Companies with any Confidential Information, (y) cause any of their respective Portfolio Companies to breach any of the provisions of this Section 7.6, or (z) in the event it has notice of and the power or authority to prevent a Portfolio Company from engaging in such action, fail to prevent a Portfolio Company from taking any of the actions set forth in this Section 7.6(a).

(b)                                 Each Non-Manager Member, subject to this Section 7.6, hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the geographic boundaries, scope of prohibited activities, and time duration set forth in this Section 7.6, as applicable to such Person, are reasonable and are no broader than are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. Each Non-Manager Member acknowledges that its obligations under this Section 7.6 are reasonable in the context of the nature of the Company Business and the competitive injuries likely to be sustained by the Company if any Non-Manager Member were to violate such obligations. Each Non-Manager Member further acknowledges that this Agreement is made in consideration of, and is adequately supported by the agreement of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and by other consideration, which each Non-Manager Member acknowledges constitutes good, valuable and sufficient consideration.

(c)                                  If any provision or clause of this Section 7.6 is found to be in conflict with a mandatory provision of applicable Law, each Non-Manager Member agrees the conflicting provision shall be modified to conform. Each Non-Manager Member covenants and agrees that should any provision of this Section 7.6, under any circumstances, foreseen or unforeseen, including term periods and geographic areas, be deemed too broad for the intended purposes, such provision shall, nevertheless, be valid and enforceable to the extent allowed by applicable Law and such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable Law.

The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, the books of account of the business in conformity with GAAP, together with all other appropriate books and records with respect to the Company’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required pursuant to applicable Law. All matters concerning (a) the determination of the relative amount of allocations and Distributions among the Members pursuant to Articles III and IV and (b) accounting procedures and determinations, and other determinations not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the Manager,

37

whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Members absent manifest clerical error.

Section 8.2                                    Fiscal Year. The Fiscal Year of the Company shall end on December 31 of each year or such other date as may be established by the Manager.

ARTICLE IX

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.1                                    Preparation of Tax Returns. The Manager shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to the Company’s income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Company for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable effort to furnish, within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the close of each Taxable Year, the tax information reasonably required by the Members and for federal and state income tax and any other tax reporting purposes. The Members shall promptly provide the Manager with such information relating to any assets contributed to the Company (excluding cash), including tax basis and other relevant information, as may be reasonably requested by the Manager from time to time.

Section 9.2                                    Taxable Year. The Taxable Year of the Company shall be the Fiscal Year set forth in Section 8.2, unless otherwise required by Section 706 of the Code.

Section 9.3                                    Tax Elections. The Manager shall file (or cause to be filed) an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code for the Company for its first Fiscal Year and shall maintain and keep such election in effect at all times. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Manager shall determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the election under Section 754 of the Code). The Manager shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any election under Section 754 of the Code).

Section 9.4                                    Partnership Representative.

(a)                                 The Manager is hereby designated to serve as the “tax matters partner” under Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (as in effect prior to repeal of such section pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act, Pub.L. 144-74 (2015)) and the “partnership representative” with respect to the Company, as provided in Section 6223(a) of the Partnership Audit Procedures (in such capacities, the “Partnership Representative”) to oversee or handle matters relating to the taxation of the Company. For each Taxable Year in which the Partnership Representative is an entity, the Company shall appoint the “designated individual” identified by the Partnership Representative to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative (the “Designated Individual”) in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations. Each Member expressly consents to such designations and agrees that it will execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.

(b)                                 The Partnership Representative shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Company in connection with and make all relevant decisions regarding application

38

of the Partnership Audit Procedures, including, but not limited to, any elections under the Partnership Audit Procedures or any decisions to settle, compromise, challenge, litigate or otherwise alter the defense of any proceeding before the Internal Revenue Service.

(c)                                  The Members agree to cooperate in good faith to timely provide information requested by the Partnership Representative as needed to comply with the Partnership Audit Procedures, including without limitation to make any elections available to the Company under the Partnership Audit Procedures. Each Member agrees that, upon request of the Company, such Member shall take such actions as may be necessary or desirable (as determined by the Partnership Representative) to (i) allow the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Procedures so that any “partnership adjustments” (as defined in Section 6241(2) of the Partnership Audit Procedures) are taken into account by the Members and former Members rather than the Company; (ii) use the provisions of Section 6225(c) of the Partnership Audit Procedures including, but not limited to, filing amended tax returns with respect to any “reviewed year” (within the meaning of Section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Procedures) or using the alternative procedure to filing amended returns to reduce the amount of any partnership adjustment otherwise required to be taken into account by the Company; or (iii) otherwise allow the Company and its Members to address and respond to any matters arising under the Partnership Audit Procedures.

(d)                                 The Partnership Representative shall keep the Non-Manager Members informed, from time to time, as to the status of any audit of the Company. The Partnership Representative shall provide to the Non-Manager Members reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Company and its advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of any audit of the Company the outcome of which is reasonably expected to materially affect the Non-Manager Members’ rights and obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as such term is defined therein).

(e)                                  Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if any partnership adjustment is determined with respect to the Company, the Partnership Representative may cause the Company to elect pursuant to Section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Procedures to have such adjustment passed through to the Members for the year to which the adjustment relates (i.e., the “reviewed year” within the meaning of Section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Procedures). In the event that the Partnership Representative has not caused the Company to so elect pursuant to Section 6226 of the Partnership Audit Procedures, then any “imputed underpayment” (as determined in accordance with Section 6225 of the Partnership Audit Procedures) or partnership adjustment that does not give rise to an imputed underpayment shall be apportioned among the Members of the Company for the Taxable Year in which the adjustment is finalized in such manner as may be necessary (as determined by the Partnership Representative in good faith) so that, to the maximum extent possible, the tax and economic consequences of the imputed underpayment or other partnership adjustment and any associated interest and penalties (any such amount, an “Imputed Underpayment Amount”) are borne by the Members based upon their Percentage Interests in the Company for the reviewed year. Imputed Underpayment Amounts also shall include any imputed underpayment within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Partnership Audit Procedures paid (or payable) by any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which the Company holds (or has held) a direct or indirect interest other than through entities treated as corporations for U.S.

39

federal income tax purposes to the extent that the Company bears the economic burden of such amounts, whether by Law or contract.

(f)                                   Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any liability with respect to such Member’s share of any tax deficiency paid or payable by the Company that is allocable to the Member as determined in accordance with the second sentence of Section 9.4(e) with respect to an audited or reviewed taxable year for which such Member was a partner in the Company. Any obligation of a Member pursuant to this Section 9.4(f) shall be implemented through adjustments to distributions otherwise payable to such Member as determined in accordance with Section 4.1; provided, however, that, at the written request of the Partnership Representative, each Member or former Member may be required to contribute to the Company such Member’s Imputed Underpayment Amount imposed on and paid by the Company; provided, further, that if a Member or former Member individually directly pays, pursuant to the Partnership Audit Procedures, any such Imputed Underpayment Amount, then such payment shall reduce any offset to distribution or required capital contribution of such Member or former Member. Any amount withheld from distributions pursuant to this Section 9.4(f) shall be treated as an amount distributed to such Member or former Member for all purposes under this Agreement.

(g)                                  All expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in connection with its duties as partnership representative or designated individual, as applicable, shall be expenses of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any claims asserted against the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable, except to the extent the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual is determined to have performed its duties in the manner described in the final sentence of this Section 9.4(g)), and the Company shall reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable, for all such expenses and costs. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual from engaging lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, or other professional advisers or experts to assist the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in discharging its duties hereunder. Neither the Partnership Representative nor Designated Individual shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any Affiliate thereof for any costs or losses to any persons, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of the performance of its duties pursuant to this Section 9.4 absent (i) willful breach of any provision of this Section 9.4 or (ii) bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable.

Section 9.5                                    Withholding. Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Manager determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to Section 1441, Section 1442, Section 1445 or Section 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, with interest assessed at a rate equal to the Applicable Federal Short-Term Rate as published monthly by the Internal Revenue Service plus two percent (2%), compounded annually, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Manager that

40

such payment must be made unless (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Member or (ii) the Manager determines that such payment may be satisfied out of the cash of the Company that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Member. Each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a security interest in such Member’s Units to secure such Member’s obligation to pay to the Company any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.5. In the event that a Member fails to pay any amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 9.5 when due, such amounts shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Member shall take such actions as the Company or the Manager shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

Section 9.6                                    Organizational Expenses. The Manager may cause the Company to elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Company ratably over a one hundred eighty (180)-month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

Section 9.7                                    Survival. The obligations set forth in this Article IX shall survive the termination of any Member’s interest in the Company, the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, and shall remain binding on each Member for the period of time necessary to resolve with the Internal Revenue Service (or any other applicable taxing authority) all income tax matters relating to the Company and for Members to satisfy their indemnification obligations, if any, pursuant to this Article IX.

ARTICLE X

TRANSFERS; WITHDRAWALS

Section 10.1                             Transfer.

(a)                                 No part of the interest of a Member shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.

(b)                                 No Unit shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article X. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of one or more Units not made in accordance with this Article X shall be null and void ab initio.

(c)                                  No Transfer of any Unit may be made to a lender to the Company or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Company whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent of the Manager; provided, that as a condition to such consent, the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Company and SDC Inc. to redeem or exchange for the Class A Shares Amount any Units in which a security interest is held by such lender immediately before the time at which such lender

41

would be deemed to be a member in the Company for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

Section 10.2                             Transfer of Manager’s Units.

(a)                                 Except as provided in Section 10.2(b), and subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Unit Designation, the Manager may not Transfer any of its Units without the Consent of the Members.

(b)                                 Subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Article X, the Manager may Transfer all of its Units at any time to any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer, a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Manager without the consent of any Member, and may designate the transferee to become the new Manager under Article XII.

(c)                                  The Manager may not voluntarily withdraw as a Member of the Company, except in connection with a Transfer all of the Manager’s Units permitted in this Article X and the admission of the Transferee as a successor Manager of the Company pursuant to the Delaware Act and this Agreement.

(d)                                 It is a condition to any Transfer of all of the Manager’s Units otherwise permitted hereunder that (i) coincident or prior to such Transfer, the transferee is admitted as the Manager pursuant to the Delaware Act and this Agreement; (ii) the transferee assumes by operation of Law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Manager under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Units; and (iii) the transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Manager and the admission of such transferee as the Manager.

Section 10.3                             Non-Manager Members’ Rights to Transfer.

(a)                                 General. Except as provided below, no Holder may Transfer any Unit without the consent of the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder may, at any time, without the consent of the Manager, Transfer all or any portion of its Units pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (including, in the case of a Holder that is a Permitted Lender Transferee, any Transfer of Units to a Third-Party Pledge Transferee). Any Transfer by a Holder is subject to Section 10.4 and to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i)                                     Qualified Transferee. Any Transfer of any Units shall be made only to a single Qualified Transferee; provided, however, that for such purposes, all Qualified Transferees that are Affiliates, or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates, shall be considered together to be a single Qualified Transferee; provided, further, that each Transfer meeting the minimum Transfer restriction set forth in Section 10.3(a)(iii) may be to a separate Qualified Transferee.

(ii)                                  Opinion of Counsel. The transferor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Manager an opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Manager to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration

42

under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or violate any state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Units Transferred; provided, however, that the Manager may waive this condition upon the request of the transferor. If the Manager determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk of requiring the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or otherwise violating any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Units, the Manager may prohibit any Transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 10.3.

(iii)                               Minimum Transfer Restriction. Any transferor must Transfer not less than the lesser of (i) ten thousand (10,000) Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Manager) or (ii) all of the remaining Units owned by such transferor; provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction, all Units owned by Affiliates of a Holder shall be considered to be owned by such Holder.

(iv)                              No Further Transfers. The transferee shall not be permitted to effect any further Transfer of the Units, other than to SDC Inc. or the Company.

(v)                                 Exception for Permitted Transfers. The conditions of Section 10.3(a)(ii) and 10.3(a)(iv) shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer.

It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is effected during or after any applicable Lock-Up Period) that the transferee assumes by operation of Law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Units, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of Law) shall relieve the transferor of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Manager. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Member, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Member, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of Law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 10.5.

(b)                                 Incapacity. If a Member is Incapacitated, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Member’s estate shall have all the rights of a Member, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Members, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Member possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Company. The Incapacity of a Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company.

Section 10.4                             Substituted Members.

(a)                                 No Member shall have the right to substitute a transferee other than a Permitted Transferee as a Member in its place. A transferee of the interest of a Member may be

43

admitted as a Substituted Member only with the consent of the Manager; provided, however, that a Permitted Transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to a Permitted Transfer without the consent of the Manager, subject to compliance with the last sentence of this Section 10.4. The failure or refusal by the Manager to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Company or the Manager. Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Member until and unless it furnishes to the Manager (i) an executed Joinder to this Agreement, (ii) Consent by Spouse (if applicable), and (iii) such other documents and instruments as the Manager may require to effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Member.

(b)                                 Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Member, the Manager shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Company to reflect the name, address and number of Units of such Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Member.

(c)                                  A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this Article X shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement.

Section 10.5                             Assignees. If the Manager’s consent is required for the admission of any transferee under Section 10.3 as a Substituted Member, as described in Section 10.4, and the Manager withholds such consent, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited liability company interest under the Delaware Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Company and the share of Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company attributable to the Units assigned to such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Units provided in this Article X, but shall not be deemed to be a Holder for any other purpose under this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Section 11.1 with respect to a Qualifying Party that becomes a Tendering Party), and shall not be entitled to effect a consent or vote with respect to such Units on any matter presented to the Members for approval (such right to consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Delaware Act, fully remaining with the transferor Member). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article X to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make an assignment of Units.

Section 10.6                             General Provisions.

(a)                                 No Member may withdraw from the Company other than: (i) as a result of a Permitted Transfer of all of such Member’s Units in accordance with this Article X with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Member; (ii) pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by SDC Inc.) of all of its Units pursuant to a Redemption under Article X or Section 11.1 and/or pursuant to any Unit Designation; or (iii) as a result of the acquisition by the Company or SDC Inc. of all of such Member’s Units, whether or not pursuant to Section 11.1(b).

44

(b)                                 Any Member who shall Transfer all of its Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article X where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Member, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a redemption of all of its Units pursuant to a Redemption under Section 11.1 and/or pursuant to any Unit Designation, or (iii) to SDC Inc., whether or not pursuant to Section 11.1(b), shall cease to be a Member.

(c)                                  If any Unit is Transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Article X, or is redeemed by the Company, or acquired by SDC Inc. pursuant to Section 11.1, on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Profits, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to such Unit for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the transferor Member or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer or assignment other than a Redemption, to the transferee Member, by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method or methods selected by the Manager. Should the “interim closing of the books” method be used, then solely for purposes of making such allocations, unless otherwise determined by the Manager, each of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Member and none of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer or a Redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Member, or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) if such Transfer occurs on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, otherwise such items shall be allocated to the transferor. All distributions attributable to such Unit with respect to which the Company Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment or Redemption shall be made to the transferor Member or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a Redemption, all distributions thereafter attributable to such Unit shall be made to the transferee.

(d)                                 In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of Units by any Member (including any Redemption, any acquisition of Units by the Manager or any other acquisition of Units by the Company) be made (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own Units; (ii) in violation of applicable Law; (iii) of any component portion of a Unit, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Unit; (iv) if the Manager determines that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Company would become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (v) if the Manager determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk that any portion of the assets of the Company would constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Treasury Regulations Section 2510.2-101; (vi) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Unit pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities Laws; (vii) if the Manager determines that such Transfer creates a material risk that the Company would become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; (viii) if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended; or (ix) if the Manager determines that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Company would become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code, or otherwise cease to be classified as a partnership for

45

U.S. federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by SDC Inc.) of all Units held by all Members (other than SDC Inc.).

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of any Units by any Member (including any Redemption, any acquisition of Units by SDC Inc. or any other acquisition of Units by the Company) result in the Company’s having more than one hundred (100) Members within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1) (determined pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)).

(f)                                   Transfers pursuant to this Article X, other than a Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to the exercise of remedies under a Pledge, may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Company, unless the Manager otherwise agrees.

Section 10.7                             Restrictions on Termination Transactions. SDC Inc. shall not engage in, or cause or permit, a Termination Transaction, other than (i) with Consent of the Members, or (ii) either:

(a)                                 in connection with any such Termination Transaction, each Holder of Common Units (other than SDC Inc. and its wholly owned Subsidiaries) will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Common Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the product of the Adjustment Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Class A Share in consideration of one Class A Share pursuant to the terms of such Termination Transaction; provided, that if in connection with such Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares, each Holder of Common Units (other than SDC Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries) will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property which such Holder of Common Units would have received had it exercised its right to Redemption pursuant to Article XI and received Class A Shares in exchange for its Common Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and then such Termination Transaction shall have been consummated (the fair market value, as determined by the Manager (whose determination shall be conclusive) at the time of the Termination Transaction, of the amount specified herein with respect to each Common Unit is referred to as the “Transaction Consideration”); or

(b)                                 all of the following conditions are met: (i) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the Company prior to the announcement of the Termination Transaction are, immediately after the Termination Transaction, owned directly or indirectly by the Company or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Company (in each case, the “Surviving Company”); (ii) the Surviving Company is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (iii) the Members (other than SDC Inc.) that held Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such Termination Transaction own a percentage interest of the Surviving Company based on the relative fair market value (as determined by the Manager, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the net assets of the Company and the

46

other net assets of the Surviving Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (iv) the rights of such Members with respect to the Surviving Company are at least as favorable as those of Members holding Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction (except to the extent that any such rights are consistent with clause (v) below) and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Company; and (v) such rights include the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Company at any time for cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such interest at the time of redemption, as determined at least once every calendar quarter by an independent appraisal firm of recognized national standing retained by the Surviving Company.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Section 11.1                             Redemption Rights of Qualifying Parties.

(a)                                 After the expiration or earlier termination of any applicable Lock-Up Period, a Qualifying Party shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to redeem all or a portion of the Common Units held by such Qualifying Party (Common Units that have in fact been tendered for redemption being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date (in each case, a “Redemption”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in the Manager’s sole and absolute discretion, redeem Tendered Units at the request of the Tendering Party prior to the end of any applicable Lock-Up Period (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) (a “Special Redemption”); provided, that the Manager first receives a legal opinion to the same effect as the legal opinion described in Section 11.1(e). Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Manager by the Qualifying Party when exercising the Redemption right (the “Tendering Party”). To be effective, such Notice of Redemption must be received by the Company not less than three (3) and not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Specified Redemption Date. The Company’s obligation to effect a Redemption, however, shall not arise or be binding against the Company (i) unless and until SDC Inc. declines to exercise its purchase rights pursuant to Section 11.1(b) hereof following receipt of a Notice of Redemption (a “Declination”) and (ii) until the Business Day following the Cut-Off Date. In the event of a Redemption, the applicable Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Manager’s sole and absolute discretion, by wire transfer of funds on or before the Specified Redemption Date.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1(a) hereof, on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, SDC Inc. may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Directors, elect to acquire some or all (such percentage being referred to as the “Acquired Percentage”) of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Party in exchange for the Class A Shares Amount or the Cash Amount (as determined by SDC Inc. in its sole discretion), calculated based on the portion of Tendered Units it elects to acquire. If SDC Inc. so elects, on the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party shall sell such number of the Tendered Units to SDC Inc. in exchange for (i) a number of Class A Shares equal to the product of the Class A Shares Amount and the Acquired Percentage, (ii) cash in an amount equal to the product

47

of the Cash Amount and the Acquired Percentage, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), with the form and allocation of consideration determined by SDC Inc. in its sole discretion. The Tendering Party shall submit such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in the view of SDC Inc., to effect compliance with the Securities Act. In the event of a purchase of the Tendered Units by SDC Inc. pursuant to this Section 11.1(b), the Tendering Party shall no longer have the right to cause the Company to effect a Redemption of such Tendered Units, and, upon notice to the Tendering Party by SDC Inc., given on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, that SDC Inc. has elected to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 11.1(b), the obligation of the Company to effect a Redemption of the Tendered Units as to which SDC Inc.’s notice relates shall not accrue or arise. If SDC Inc. elects to acquire Tendered Units for Class A Shares, then a number of Class A Shares equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the Class A Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered by SDC Inc. as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Shares and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than restrictions provided in the certificate of incorporation of SDC Inc., the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” Laws. Neither any Tendering Party whose Tendered Units are acquired by SDC Inc. pursuant to this Section 11.1(b), any Member, any Assignee nor any other interested Person shall have any right to require or cause SDC Inc. to register, qualify or list any Class A Shares owned or held by such Person, whether or not such Class A Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 11.1(b), with the SEC, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or with any stock exchange; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be in derogation of any registration or similar rights granted pursuant to any other written agreement between SDC Inc. and any such Person. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such Class A Shares and Rights for all purposes, including rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. Class A Shares issued upon an acquisition of Tendered Units by SDC Inc. pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws as SDC Inc. in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such Laws. If SDC Inc. elects to acquire Tendered Units for cash, then cash equal to the product of the Acquired Percentage and the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or, in SDC Inc.’s sole and absolute discretion, by wire transfer of funds on or before the Specified Redemption Date.

(c)                                  In the event of a Declination, SDC Inc. shall give notice of such Declination to the Tendering Party on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date. The failure of SDC Inc. to give notice of such Declination by the close of business on the Cut-Off Date shall be deemed to be an election by SDC Inc. to acquire the Tendered Units in exchange for Class A Shares or cash. In the event of a Declination, the Company may elect to raise funds for the payment of any applicable Cash Amount (a) solely by requiring that SDC Inc. or its Subsidiaries contribute to the Company funds from (i) the proceeds of a registered public offering by SDC Inc. of Class A Shares sufficient to purchase the Tendered Units or (ii) any other sources available to SDC Inc. or its Subsidiaries or (b) with the consent of the Tendering Party, from any other sources available to the Company. To the extent determined by the Manager, the Company will treat such a transaction as a disguised sale under Section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code. If the Cash Amount is not paid on or before the Specified

48

Redemption Date, interest shall accrue with respect to the Cash Amount from the day after the Specified Redemption Date to and including the date on which the Cash Amount is paid at a rate equal to the Applicable Federal Short-Term Rate as published monthly by the Internal Revenue Service.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption (or any tender of Common Units for Redemption if the Tendered Units are acquired by SDC Inc. pursuant to Section 11.1(b) hereof) pursuant to this Section 11.1:

(i)                                     Without the consent of the Manager, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption for less than five thousand (5,000) Common Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Manager.) or, if such Tendering Party holds less than five thousand (5,000) Common Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Manager), all of the Common Units held by such Tendering Party.

(ii)                                  If (i) a Tendering Party surrenders Tendered Units during the period after the Company Record Date with respect to a distribution payable to Holders of Common Units, and before the record date established by SDC Inc. for a dividend to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Company distribution, and (ii) SDC Inc. elects to acquire any of such Tendered Units in exchange for Class A Shares pursuant to Section 11.1(b), then such Tendering Party shall pay to SDC Inc. on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to the Company distribution paid or payable in respect of such Tendered Units.

(iii)                               The consummation of such Redemption (or an acquisition of Tendered Units by SDC Inc. pursuant to Section 11.1(b) hereof, as the case may be) shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

(iv)                              The Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the case of an Assignee, to the provisions of Section 10.5) all Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Member or an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until the Specified Redemption Date and until such Tendered Units are either paid for by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(a) hereof or transferred to SDC Inc. and paid for by the issuance of Class A Shares or payment of cash pursuant to Section 11.1(b). Until a Specified Redemption Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Units by SDC Inc. for Class A Shares pursuant to Section 11.1(b) hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a stockholder of SDC Inc. with respect to the Class A Shares issuable in connection with such acquisition.

(v)                                 The Manager shall establish a Specified Redemption Date in each quarter of each Fiscal Year, subject to the expiration or earlier termination of any applicable Lock-Up Period, provided, that the Manager may postpone any such date one or more times. The Manager shall provide notice to the Members of each Specified

49

Redemption Date at least forty-five (45) days prior to such date. The Manager may, in its sole discretion, establish additional Specified Redemption Dates on such terms and conditions as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, if it determines that doing so would not create a material risk that the Company would become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code.

(e)           In connection with any Special Redemption, SDC Inc. shall have the right to receive an opinion of counsel for the Tendering Party reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Special Redemption will not cause the Company or SDC Inc. to violate any federal or state securities Laws or regulations applicable to the Special Redemption or the issuance and sale of Class A Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to Section 11.1(b) of this Agreement.

(f)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Member may exchange Common Units only to the extent such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance at the time of the exchange represents at least the same percentage of the aggregate Adjusted Capital Account Balances of all partners of the Company as the percentage interest represented by such Common Units to be exchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, the exchanging Member may designate the portion of his or her Capital Account attributable to one or more Common Units being exchanged.

(g)           Share Offering Funding Option.

(i)            Notwithstanding Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(b) hereof, if (i) a Member has delivered to the Manager a Notice of Redemption with respect to a number of Common Units that, together with any other Tendered Units from other Members (collectively, the “Offering Units”), exceeds twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) gross value, based on a Common Unit price equal to the Value of a Class A Share, and (ii) SDC Inc. is eligible to file a registration statement under Form S-3 (or any successor form similar thereto), then either: (x) the Manager and SDC Inc. may cause the Company to redeem the Offering Units with the proceeds of an offering, whether registered under the Securities Act or exempt from such registration, underwritten, offered and sold directly to investors or through agents or other intermediaries, or otherwise distributed (a “Share Offering Funding”) of a number of Class A Shares (“Offered Shares”) equal to the Class A Shares Amount with respect to the Offering Units pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.1(g); (y) the Company shall pay the Cash Amount with respect to the Offering Units pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(a); or (z) SDC Inc. shall acquire the Offering Units in exchange for the Class A Shares Amount pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(b). The Manager and SDC Inc. must provide notice of its exercise of the election described in clause (x) above to purchase the Tendered Units through a Share Offering Funding on or before the Cut-Off Date.

(1)           If the Manager and SDC Inc. elect a Share Offering Funding with respect to a Notice of Redemption, SDC Inc. may give notice (a “Single Funding Notice”) of such election to all Members and require that all Members elect whether or not to effect a Redemption to be funded through such Share Offering Funding. If a Member elects to effect such a Redemption, it shall give notice thereof and of the

50

number of Common Units to be made subject thereto in writing to SDC Inc. within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Single Funding Notice, and such Member shall be treated as a Tendering Party for all purposes of this Section 11.1(g) as long as the requirements in Section 11.1(d)(iv) are otherwise satisfied.

(ii)           If the Manager and SDC Inc. elect a Share Offering Funding, on the Specified Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem each Offering Unit that is still a Tendered Unit on such date for cash in immediately available funds in an amount (the “Share Offering Funding Amount”) equal to the net proceeds per Offered Share received by SDC Inc. from the Share Offering Funding, determined after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions but no other expenses of SDC Inc. or any other Member related thereto, including without limitation, legal and accounting fees and expenses, SEC registration fees, state blue sky and securities Laws fees and expenses, printing expenses, FINRA filing fees, exchange listing fees and other out of pocket expenses (the “Net Proceeds”).

(iii)          If the Manager and SDC Inc. elect a Share Offering Funding, the following additional terms and conditions shall apply:

(1)           As soon as practicable after the Manager and SDC Inc. elect to effect a Share Offering Funding, SDC Inc. shall use its reasonable efforts to effect as promptly as possible a registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities Laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of the Offered Shares; provided, that if SDC Inc. shall deliver a certificate to the Tendering Party stating that SDC Inc. has determined in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors that such filing, registration or qualification would require disclosure of material non-public information, the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on SDC Inc., then SDC Inc. may delay making any filing or delay the effectiveness of any registration or qualification for the shorter of (a) the period ending on the date upon which such information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (b) an aggregate period of ninety (90) days in connection with any Share Offering Funding.

(2)           SDC Inc. shall advise each Tendering Party, regularly and promptly upon any request, of the status of the Share Offering Funding process, including the timing of all filings, the selection of and understandings with underwriters, agents, dealers and brokers, the nature and contents of all communications with the SEC and other governmental bodies, the expenses related to the Share Offering Funding as they are being incurred, the nature of marketing activities, and any other matters reasonably related to the timing, price and expenses relating to the Share Offering Funding and the compliance by SDC Inc. with its obligations with respect thereto. SDC Inc. will have reasonable procedures whereby the Tendering Party with the largest number of Offering Units (the “Lead Tendering Party”) may represent all the Tendering Parties in connection with the Share Offering Funding by allowing it to participate in meetings with

51

the underwriters of the Share Offering Funding. In addition, SDC Inc. and each Tendering Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, enter into understandings in writing (“Pricing Agreements”) whereby the Tendering Party will agree in advance as to the acceptability of a Net Proceeds amount at or below a specified amount. Furthermore, SDC Inc. shall establish pricing notification procedures with each such Tendering Party, such that the Tendering Member will have the maximum opportunity practicable to determine whether to become a Withdrawing Member pursuant to Section 11.1(g)(iii)(3) below.

(3)           SDC Inc. will permit the Lead Tendering Party to participate in the pricing discussions for the Share Offering Funding and, upon notification of the price per Class A Share in the Share Offering Funding from the managing underwriter(s), in the case of a proposed registered public offering, or lead placement agent(s), in the event of an unregistered offering, engaged by SDC Inc. in order to sell the Offered Shares, shall immediately use its reasonable efforts to notify each Tendering Party of the price per Class A Share in the Share Offering Funding and resulting Net Proceeds. Each Tendering Party shall have one hour from the receipt of such written notice (as such time may be extended by SDC Inc.) to elect to withdraw its Redemption (a Tendering Party making such an election being a “Withdrawing Member”), and Common Units with a Class A Shares Amount equal to such excluded Offered Shares shall be considered to be withdrawn from the related Redemption; provided, however, that SDC Inc. shall keep each of the Tendering Parties reasonably informed as to the likely timing of delivery of its notice. If a Tendering Party, within such time period, does not notify SDC Inc. of such Tendering Party’s election to become a Withdrawing Member, then such Tendering Party shall, except as otherwise provided in a Pricing Agreement, be deemed not to have withdrawn from the Redemption, without liability to SDC Inc. To the extent that SDC Inc. is unable to notify any Tendering Party, such unnotified Tendering Party shall, except as otherwise provided in any Pricing Agreement, be deemed not to have elected to become a Withdrawing Member. Each Tendering Party whose Redemption is being funded through the Share Offering Funding who does not become a Withdrawing Member shall have the right, subject to the approval of the managing underwriter(s) or placement agent(s) and restrictions of any applicable securities Laws, to submit for Redemption additional Common Units in a number no greater than the number of Common Units withdrawn. If more than one Tendering Party so elects to redeem additional Common Units, then such Common Units shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis, based on the number of additional Common Units sought to be so redeemed.

SDC Inc. shall take all reasonable action in order to effectuate the sale of the Offered Shares including, but not limited to, the entering into of an underwriting or placement agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) or placement agent(s) selected for such offering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) or placement agent(s) advises SDC Inc. in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be offered, then SDC Inc. shall so advise all Tendering Parties and the number of Common Units to be sold to SDC Inc. pursuant to the Redemption shall be allocated among all Tendering Parties in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Common Units as to which each Tendering Party elected to effect a Redemption.

52

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if SDC Inc. is also offering to sell shares for purposes other than to fund the redemption of Offering Units and to pay related expenses, then those other shares may in SDC Inc.’s sole discretion be given priority over any shares to be sold in the Share Offering Funding, and any shares to be sold in the Share Offering Funding shall be removed from the offering prior to removing shares the proceeds of which would be used for other purposes of SDC Inc. No Offered Shares excluded from the offering by reason of the managing underwriter’s or placement agent’s marketing limitation shall be included in such offering.

Each of the Company and SDC Inc. shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable upon a Redemption such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of applicable Law, and to the extent deduction and withholding is required, such deduction and withholding may be taken in Class A Shares. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority (or, if taken in Class A Shares, cash in the amount of the fair market value of such shares is paid over to the appropriate taxing authority), such amounts will be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Tendering Party.

(a)           After the Effective Date, a Person (other than a then-existing Member) who makes a Capital Contribution to the Company in exchange for Units and in accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member only upon furnishing to the Manager (i) an executed Joinder to this Agreement, (ii) Consent by Spouse (if applicable), and (iii) such other documents and instruments as the Manager may require to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Member. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of an Additional Member, the Manager shall amend the Register and the books and

53

records of the Company to reflect the name, address, number and type of Units of such Additional Member.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Member without the consent of the Manager. The admission of any Person as an Additional Member shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Company, following the consent of the Manager to such admission and the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 12.2(a).

(c)           If any Additional Member is admitted to the Company on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Profits, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Members for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among such Additional Member and all other Members by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method or methods selected by the Manager. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Member occurs shall be allocated among all the Members including such Additional Member, in accordance with the principles described in Section 10.6(c). All distributions with respect to which the Company Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Members and Assignees other than the Additional Member, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to all the Members and Assignees including such Additional Member.

(d)           For the admission to the Company of any Member, the Manager shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Delaware Act to amend the Register and the books and records of the Company and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement and, if required by Law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Company and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 15.2.

Section 12.3          Limit on Number of Members. Unless otherwise permitted by the Manager, no Person shall be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member if the effect of such admission would be to cause the Company to have a number of Members (including as Members for this purpose those Persons indirectly owning an interest in the Company through another partnership, a limited liability company, a subchapter S corporation or a grantor trust) that would cause the Company to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

Section 12.4          Admission. A Person shall be admitted to the Company as a Member of the Company only upon strict compliance, and not upon substantial compliance, with the requirements set forth in this Agreement for admission to the Company as a Member.

ARTICLE XIII

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 13.1          Events Causing Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members or the attempted withdrawal or resignation of a Member. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Liquidating Event”):

(a)           the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

(b)           the Incapacitation of the Manager; provided, that the Company will not be dissolved or required to be wound up in connection with the Incapacitation of the Manager (and such Incapacitation shall not be considered a Liquidating Event) if, within ninety (90) days after such Incapacitation, the Company, acting by Consent of the Members, appoints a successor Manager effective as of the date of the event;

(c)           an election to dissolve the Company made by the Manager, with the Consent of the Members; or

(d)           the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.

Section 13.2          Distribution upon Dissolution.

(a)           Upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 13.1, unless the Company is continued pursuant to Section 13.1, the Manager (or, in the event that there is no remaining Manager or the Manager has dissolved, become Bankrupt or ceased to operate, any Person elected by Consent of the Members) (the Manager or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company and shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and property, and the Company property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(i)            First, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to creditors, including Members who are creditors (other than with respect to liabilities owed to Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof;

(ii)           Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s liabilities to the Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions, whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof; and

(iii)          The balance, if any, to the Holders in accordance with and in proportion to their positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

The Manager shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII.

(b)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2(a) that require liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or

55

upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Holders, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Holders as creditors) and/or distribute to the Holders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2(a), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

(c)           In the event that the Company is “liquidated,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XIII to the Holders that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the extent of, and in proportion to, positive Capital Account balances. If any Holder has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Holder s pursuant to this Article XIII may be:

(i)            distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Manager and the Holders for the purpose of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Manager arising out of or in connection with the Company and/or Company activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Holders, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Manager, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or

(ii)           withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company; provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Holders in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2(a) as soon as practicable.

Section 13.3          Rights of Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Unit Designation, (a) each Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Holder shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company, and (c) no Holder shall have priority over any other Holder as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.

56

Section 13.4          Termination. The Company shall terminate when all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for in this Article XIII, and the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Delaware Act.

Section 13.5          Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between and among the Members during the period of liquidation.

ARTICLE XIV

VALUATION

Section 14.1          Determination. “Fair Market Value” of a specific Company asset will mean the amount which the Company would receive in an all-cash sale of the asset in an arms-length transaction with a willing unaffiliated third party, with neither party having any compulsion to buy or sell, consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale), as that amount is determined by the Manager (or, if pursuant to Section 13.2, the Liquidators) in its good faith judgment using all factors, information and data it deems to be pertinent.

ARTICLE XV

(a)           Each Member who is an individual hereby constitutes and appoints the Manager (or the Liquidator, if applicable) with full power of substitution, as the Member’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the Member’s name, place and stead, to:

(b)           The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any Member and the transfer any or all of his, her or its Units and shall extend to the Member’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives.

58

secrets, trademarks, tradenames and all intellectual property associated with the Company’s business. With respect to each Member, Confidential Information does not include information or material that: (a) is rightfully in the possession of such Member at the time of disclosure by the Company; (b) before or after it has been disclosed to such Member by the Company, becomes part of public knowledge, not as a result of any action or inaction of such Member in violation of this Agreement; (c) is approved for release by written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company or the Manager, or any other officer designated by the Manager; (d) is disclosed to such Member or their representatives by a third party not to the knowledge of such Member in violation of any obligation of confidentiality owed to the Company with respect to such information; or (e) is or becomes independently developed by such Member or their respective representatives without use or reference to the Confidential Information.

(b)           Each of the Members may disclose Confidential Information to its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, counsel, advisers, consultants, outside contractors and other agents, on the condition that such Persons keep the Confidential Information confidential to the same extent as such disclosing party is required to keep the Confidential Information confidential, solely to the extent it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to fulfill its obligations or to exercise its rights under this Agreement; provided, that the disclosing party shall remain liable with respect to any breach of this Section 15.3 by any such Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, counsel, advisers, consultants, outside contractors and other agents.

(c)           Notwithstanding Sections 15.3(a) and (b), each of the Members may disclose Confidential Information (i) to the extent that such party is legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, (ii) for purposes of reporting to its stockholders and direct and indirect equity holders the performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries and for purposes of including applicable information in its financial statements to the extent required by applicable Law or applicable accounting standards; (iii) to any bona fide prospective purchaser of the equity or assets of a Member, or the Common Units held by such Member, or a prospective merger partner of such Member (provided, that (i) such Persons will be informed by such Member of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree in writing to keep such information confidential in accordance with the contents of this Agreement and (ii) each Member will be liable for any breaches of this Section 15.3 by any such Persons), or (iv) to the extent required to be disclosed by applicable Law.

Section 15.4          Amendments. Except as may be otherwise required by Law or as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified, or the observance of any provision of this Agreement waived, only with the approval of the Manager and Consent of the Members (excluding for purposes of such consent all Units held directly or indirectly by the Manager); provided, however, that except as specifically provided in this Agreement, no amendment or other modification or waiver may:

Section 15.10       Waiver.

Section 15.11       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 15.12       Governing Law; Venue; Arbitration.

(a)           Governing Law. This Agreement and any Dispute, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of Law.

(b)           Venue. Each party hereto agrees that it shall bring any Proceeding in respect of any Dispute exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States, in each case, located in the City of Wilmington, Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”). Solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in those courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of the Proceeding and (v) agrees that service of process upon that party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 15.7. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. A final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a demand for arbitration of a Dispute is made pursuant to Section 15.12(c), this Section 15.12(b) shall not pre-empt resolution of the Dispute pursuant to Section 15.12(c).

(c)           Arbitration.

(i)            Any disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any disputes, claims or controversies brought by or on behalf of the Company or a Member or any holder of equity interests (which, for purposes of this Section 15.12(c), shall mean any holder of record or any beneficial owner of equity interests, or any former holder of record or beneficial owner of equity interests) of the Company or a Member, either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of the Company or a Member or on behalf of any series or class of equity interests of the Company or a Member or holders of equity interests of the Company or a Member against the Company or any Member or any of their respective trustees, directors, members, officers, managers, agents or employees, including any disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration agreement or

62

the governing documents of the Company or any Member (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”) or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute or Disputes, be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 15.12(c). For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against the trustees, directors, officers or managers of the Company or any Member and class actions by a holder of equity interests against those individuals or entities and the Company or any Member. For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party. For purposes of this Section 15.12(c), the term “equity interest” shall mean, (i) in respect of the Company, any Units and (ii) in respect of a Member, any equity interest in that Member. References to a “Member” in this Section 15.12(c) shall be deemed to include any former Member.

(ii)           There shall be three (3) arbitrators. If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the parties. If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the demand for arbitration. The arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be. If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail(s) to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides the list to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA. If the party (or parties) fail(s) to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by that time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first (1st) arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA to be the second (2nd) arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second (2nd) arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third (3rd) and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second (2nd) arbitrator. If the third (3rd) arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

(iii)          The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York unless otherwise agreed by the parties. There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

63

For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that there shall be no depositions and no other discovery other than limited documentary discovery as described in the preceding sentence.

(iv)          In rendering an award or decision (an “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the Laws of the State of Delaware. Any arbitration proceedings or Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. Any Award shall be in writing and shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of Law on which it is based. Any monetary Award shall be made and payable in Dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. Subject to Section 15.12(c)(vi), each party against which an Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

(v)           Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties thereto, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an Award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s Award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third (3rd) appointed arbitrator.

(vi)          Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, any Award, including but not limited to any interim Award, may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (the “Appellate Rules”). An Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Award by filing a notice of appeal with any AAA office.

EXHIBIT A: EXAMPLES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT FACTOR

For purposes of the following examples, it is assumed that (a) the Adjustment Factor in effect on December 31, 2018 is 1.0 and (b) on January 1, 2019 (the “Company Record Date” for purposes of these examples), prior to the events described in the examples, there are 100 Class A Shares issued and outstanding.

Example 1

On the Company Record Date, SDC Inc. declares a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares in Class A Shares. The amount of the dividend is one Class A Share paid in respect of each Class A Share owned. Pursuant to Paragraph (a) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Company Record Date, effective immediately after the stock dividend is declared, as follows:

1.0 * 200/100 = 2.0

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the stock dividend is declared is 2.0.

Example 2

On the Company Record Date, SDC Inc. distributes options to purchase Class A Shares to all holders of its Class A Shares. The amount of the distribution is one option to acquire one Class A Share in respect of each Class A Share owned. The strike price is $4.00 a share. The Value of a Class A Share on the Company Record Date is $5.00 per share. Pursuant to Paragraph (b) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Company Record Date, effective immediately after the options are distributed, as follows:

1.0 * (100 + 100)/(100 + [100 * $4.00/$5.00]) = 1.1111

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the options are distributed is 1.1111. If the options expire or become no longer exercisable, then the retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (b) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor” shall apply.

Example 3

On the Company Record Date, SDC Inc. distributes assets to all holders of its Class A Shares. The amount of the distribution is one asset with a fair market value (as determined by the Manager, whose determination shall be conclusive) of $1.00 in respect of each Class A Share owned. It is also assumed that the assets do not relate to assets received by SDC Inc. or its Subsidiaries pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Company. The Value of a Class A Share on the Company Record Date is $5.00 a share. Pursuant to Paragraph (c) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Company Record Date, effective immediately after the assets are distributed, as follows:

1.0 * $5.00/($5.00 – $1.00) = 1.25

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the assets are distributed is 1.25.
