The proxy shall be delivered to any one (1) or more of the remaining Members before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

5.10 Action by Members without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting if the action is evidenced by one or more counterparts of a written consent describing the action taken and signed by each Member entitled to vote, which consent shall be included in the minutes or filed with the Company records. Action taken under this Section is effective when all Members entitled to vote have signed the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. The record date for determining Members entitled to take action without a meeting shall be the date the first Member signs a written consent.

5.11 Waiver of Notice. When any notice is required to be given to any Member, a waiver of the notice in writing signed by the person entitled to the notice, whether before, at, or after the given time stated therein, and delivered to the Company for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the Company records, shall be equivalent to the giving of the notice. A Member's attendance at any meeting shall constitute a waiver: (i) to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the Member at the beginning of the meeting objects to the holding of the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (ii) to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless such person objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

ARTICLE 6
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

6.1 Initial Capital Contributions. A Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member as provided in Section 2.1(b) above, which shall include the initial Capital Account balance of each Member as set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto. The number of Units of Voting Interest and Economic Interest of each Member in each Series shall be as also set forth in Exhibit A. No Member shall have any interest or rights in the capital contributed by any other Member.

6.2 Additional Capital Contributions. The Members and Economic Interest Owners recognize that Series CE or SEL of the Company may require additional capital from time to time in order to accomplish the purposes and the business for which the Company is formed. If by an affirmative vote or consent all of the Members holding Voting Interests in such particular Series determine in good faith that additional Capital Contributions for a particular Series are necessary for the operation of the Company or its Subsidiaries, each Member and Economic Interest Owner of such Series shall within thirty (30) days of such vote or consent contribute their respective share of the additional contribution to the capital of the Company as determined by all of the Members of such Series pursuant to such affirmative vote or consent, which share shall be determined on a pro rata basis with reference to the relationship of each respective Member's or Economic Interest Owner's Economic Interest of such Series to the total of the Economic Interests of all of the Members and Economic Interest Owners of such Series. The Chairman shall make such determination and provide notice to each Member and Economic Interest Owner of such Series within ten (10) days of such vote or consent of the call for such additional contribution, the amount to be contributed by such person, and the date on which such contribution is due. Unless otherwise agreed to by the affirmative vote or consent of all of the Members holding such Series, all such additional Capital Contributions shall be made in cash. No voluntary contributions to capital shall be made by any Member or Economic Interest Owner absent the affirmative vote or consent of all of the Members. Any Additional Capital Contributions made to the Company for the benefit of SEL pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be immediately made to SEL and any Member making an Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 6.2 is hereby authorized to make such Contribution directly to SEL on the Company's behalf. If not all Members make their proportionate contribution, the amount of any Additional Capital Contribution for such particular capital call shall be returned immediately.

6.3 Breach or Violation of Indemnity Obligations.

6.3.1 None of the terms, covenants, obligations or rights contained in Section 6.2 and this Section 6.3 are or shall be deemed to be for the benefit of any Person or entity other than the Members, Economic Interest Owners, and the Company, and no such third person shall under any circumstances have any right to compel any actions or payments by the Members or Economic Interest Owners.

6.3.2 Any breach or violation by a Member (including a Member possessing only voting rights as provided for under this LLC Agreement) of any indemnity obligations contained in this LLC Agreement will result in such Member or Economic Interest Owner being deemed a "Non-Contributing Person" by reason of the failure to make an additional Capital Contribution in the amount of the losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Company or the non-breaching Members by reason of such breach or violation. If the deemed Non-Contributing Person fails to cure such breach or violation to the satisfaction of the Management Committee and the non-breaching Members within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice of such

breach or violation from the Management Committee (which notice shall be sent pursuant to a unanimous vote of the Management Committee determined in good faith, except that any representative of the Non-Contributing Person in the Management Committee shall not be permitted to vote on such action), the deemed Non-Contributing Person shall relinquish all voting rights associated with its Voting and Economic Interest for all Series. Thereafter, the deemed Non-Contributing Person may cure such breach or violation by making a cure contribution; provided, however, that should it ultimately be determined by the affirmative vote or consent of a Majority in Interest or by a court of competent jurisdiction that any such damages were not attributable to a breach or violation of this LLC Agreement by such deemed Non-Contributing Person, such deemed Non-Contributing Person shall immediately be reinvested with any and all voting rights lost on account the operation of this Section 6.3.2 and any economic consequences of the tentative operation of this Section 6.3.2 on the Non-Contributing Person (such as a loss of distributions or payment by such Non-Contributing Person of any Cure Contribution or other payment in respect of such alleged breach or violation) shall be properly cured and reversed.

6.4 Capital Accounts of Members. The amount of any additional Capital Contribution made by any Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be added to the Capital Account of such contributing Member or Economic Interest Owner for the applicable Series as of the date of expiration of the thirty (30) day periods and/or ten (10) day period, as the case may be, set out in Section 6.2 above. Any increase in a Member's or Economic Interest Owner's Preference Contribution Account pursuant to Section 6.3.2 shall not be added to such Member's or Economic Interest Owner's Capital Account for each Series.

6.5 Adjustment of Interests. If additional Capital Contributions are made in accordance with Section 6.2 above, or in conjunction with the admission of a new Member pursuant to Article 11 of this LLC Agreement, the Economic and Voting Interests of each Member and Economic Interest Owner shall be adjusted for the applicable Series (which shall be reflected on a revised Exhibit A) to reflect such additional contributions in accordance with the following formula:

6.5.1 Each Member's and Economic Interest Owner's Economic and Voting Interests shall be adjusted to the same ratio as the Member's or Economic Interest Owner's total Adjusted Capital Account bears to the total Adjusted Capital Accounts of all the Members and Economic Interest Owners as of the adjustment date. The adjustment date shall be the date of the expiration of the thirty (30) day period and/or ten (10) day period, as the case may be, set out in Section 6.2 above or the date a new Member is admitted, as the case may be.

6.5.2 This Economic and Voting Interests adjustment shall be made after every additional Capital Contribution, whether such additional Capital Contribution is the result of the admission of a new Member or a call for additional contributions. In the event that there is any transfer in whole or in part, of a Member's or Economic Interest Owner's Voting or Economic Interests in the Company, then the transferee of such Member or Economic Interest Owner shall stand in the same position as the Member or Economic Interest Owner whose interest they have acquired, unless all of the Members have agreed otherwise.

6.6 Interest and Other Amounts. No Member or Economic Interest Owner shall receive any interest, salary, or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account or for services rendered to or on behalf of the Company or otherwise in its capacity as a Member or Economic Interest Owner, except as otherwise provided in this LLC Agreement or other agreement approved and ratified by all of the Members between the Company and such Member or Economic Interest Owner.

6.7 Amendment of Documents. Except as provided above or pursuant to a Member's or Economic Interest Owner's acquisition of an additional Economic Interest as permitted under this LLC Agreement, any adjustments in Economic or Voting Interests for any Series shall be effectuated by amending this LLC Agreement and the execution and filing of any other documents required by the Delaware Act.

6.8 Withdrawal of Capital Contribution. Except as otherwise provided in this LLC Agreement, the affirmative vote or consent of all of the Members shall be required to modify, compromise or release the amount and/or character of a Member's or Economic Interest Owner's Capital Contribution, or any promise made by a Member as consideration for the acquisition of an interest in the Company. Under circumstances requiring the return of any Capital Contribution, no Member or Economic Interest Owner shall have the right to receive any property of the Company, other than cash, except as may be specifically provided herein.

6.9 Loans of Members. A Member or Economic Interest Owner may loan cash or other property to the Company, should additional funds be required, upon such terms as all of the Members shall agree by affirmative vote or consent. Loans by any Member or Economic Interest Owner to the Company shall not be considered as contributions to the capital of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this LLC Agreement, none of the Members or Economic Interest Owners shall be obligated to make any loan or advance to the Company.

ARTICLE 10
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

10.1 General.

10.1.1 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this LLC Agreement (including but not limited to Section 10.3), neither a Member nor an Economic Interest Owner shall have the right without the affirmative vote or consent of the Management Committee to sell, assign, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, exchange, distribute or otherwise transfer for consideration, gift, bequeath, distribute or otherwise transfer for no consideration (whether or not by operation of law, except in the case of bankruptcy) (each such action a "Transfer") all or part of its interest in the Company, except for transfers of Voting or Economic Interests from one Member to another and transfers of Voting or Economic Interests from one Member to an Affiliate of that Member. The transfer of the Economic Interest of a Bankrupt Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be governed by Sections 12.4 and 12.5 below. Any purported Transfer of any interest in the Company in contravention of this LLC Agreement shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

10.1.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1.1 above and except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 10.1.1, all Transfers shall also be subject to the following rules and conditions: (i) the Transfer shall be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws; (ii) the Transfer shall not result in any materially adverse tax consequence to the Company or any remaining Member; (iii) the Transfer shall not result in the Company being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any regulations promulgated thereunder; and (iv) if the Transfer is to a person or entity that is not a Member or an Affiliate of any Member, such Transfer shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, of this LLC Agreement.

10.2 Transferee Not Member in Absence of Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this LLC Agreement to the contrary, and except for those transfers permitted under Section 10.1 hereof, if the Management Committee does not by affirmative vote or consent approve of the proposed Transfer of a Member's or Economic Interest Owner's Economic Interest in the Company to a transferee or donee who is not a Member immediately before the Transfer and the admission of such transferee as a Member as provided in Article 11 below, the proposed transferee or donee shall have no right to participate in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, including, without limitation, any rights to appoint representatives to the Management Committee, or to become a Member. Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 10.1 above, the transferee or donee shall be merely an Economic Interest Owner. Furthermore, except as agreed upon by the Management Committee or as otherwise provided in this LLC Agreement or the Delaware Act, upon a Member's transfer of its Economic Interest, such Member's rights to participate in the management and affairs of the Company, including, without limitation, its voting rights, and any rights to appoint representatives to the Management Committee, shall cease.

10.3 Right of First Offer.

10.3.1 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including but not limited to Section 10.1.1), if any Member (the "Transferring Member") intends to transfer all or a portion of its Voting Interest or Economic Interest (the "Sale Interest") to any Person or entity who is not a Member or Affiliate of any Member of the Company (a "Third Party"), the Transferring Member shall give written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to the other Members of the same Series (the "Non-Transferring Members") of such intention. The Transfer Notice, in addition to stating the fact of the intention to transfer, shall set forth: (i) the amount of Sale Interest proposed to be transferred; (ii) the name and address of the Third Party; (iii) the proposed amount of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by the Third Party; and (iv) that the Third Party has been informed of the Transfer Notice provided for in this Section 10.3. Each of the Non-Transferring Members may, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a Transfer Notice, exercise an option to purchase its pro-rata portion of the Sale Interest intended to be transferred by the Transferring Member as indicated in the Transfer Notice. Each of the Non-Transferring Members must exercise its option to purchase its pro-rata portion of the Sale Interest on the terms of the Transfer Notice or forfeit its option granted hereunder. The Non-Transferring Member(s), if any, shall exercise its or their, as the case may be, option by delivering written notice (the "Acceptance Notice") to the Transferring Member within the time period specified above.

10.3.2 The purchase price for the Sale Interest purchased pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be as set forth in the Transfer Notice. The closing of the sale and purchase shall take place within sixty (60) days after the delivery to the Transferring Member of the Acceptance Notice.

10.3.3 If not all of the Non-Transferring Members elect to exercise their respective option to purchase its pro-rata interest in the remaining portion of the Sale Interest pursuant to Section 10.3.1 above, then the Transferring Member may transfer the Sale Interest according to the terms of the Transfer Notice at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period specified in Section 10.3.1 above. Such transfer shall not require consent pursuant to Section 10.1.1, but shall be subject to all other terms, covenants and conditions of this LLC Agreement.

10.4 Co-Sale Rights. If any Member other than Holdings (the "Existing Member(s)") desires to transfer a Sale Interest to a Third Party (the "Third Party Sale"), such Existing Member shall first give written notice (a "Third Party Sale Notice") to Holdings, and Holdings may elect, in its sole discretion, to participate in such sale and sell a proportionate share (determined with respect to the ratio of the Sale Interest to the Voting Interest or Economic Interest, as the case may be, owned by the Existing Member) of its Voting Interest or Economic Interest, as the case may be, then owned by Holdings to the same Third Party on the same terms and conditions as the Existing Member (the "Co-Sale Right"). Such Third Party Sale Notice shall set forth: (i) the amount of Sale Interest proposed to be transferred; (ii) the name and address of the Third Party; (iii) the proposed amount of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by the Third Party; and (iv) that the Third Party has been informed of the Co-Sale Right provided for in this Section 10.4. Holdings shall notify the Existing Member within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of the Third Party Sale, whether Holdings shall exercise its Co-Sale Right, and if Holdings does not give such notice in a timely manner, such right shall expire with respect to such instance. Upon the consummation of a sale by Holdings pursuant to its exercise of its Co-Sale Right in connection with a Third Party Sale, Holdings shall make available for transfer the certificate representing the respective Voting Interest or Economic Interest being transferred, as the case may be, and shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of the proceeds of such Third Party Sale simultaneously with such transfer. The Co-Sale Right may be exercised any number of times but may not be transferred by Holdings under any circumstances. To the extent the Third Party refuses to purchase the Voting Interest or Economic Interest, or any part thereof, from Holdings, the Existing Member shall not be permitted to transfer the Sale Interest to such Third Party.

10.5 Come Along Rights. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 10, if all but one of the Members (the "Selling Members") negotiate a bona fide disposition of all the Voting and Economic Interests owned by the Selling Members to a Third Party, which disposition has complied with the procedures of this Article 10, the other Member (the "Other Member") shall, upon the written request of the Selling Members, sell to the Third Party all Voting and Economic Interests owned by the Other Member at the time on the same terms and conditions on which the Voting and Economic Interests of the Selling Members are negotiated to be sold to the Third Party by the Selling Members. The Selling Members shall give the Other Member written notice, executed by each Selling Member, of any proposed disposition under this Section 10.5 at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such disposition is scheduled to be consummated, including the terms and conditions thereof.

ARTICLE 11
ADMISSION OF SUCCESSOR MEMBERS OR NEW MEMBERS

11.1 Admission of Successor Members or New Members. A Person, including a transferee or donee of a Member or other Person owning an Economic Interest, shall be deemed admitted as a Member of the Company only upon the satisfactory completion of the following:

(a) Except for those Transfers permitted pursuant to Section 10.1.1, the Management Committee shall have consented to the admission of the Person as a Member of the Company and, in the case of a new Member, the Management Committee shall have consented to the amount and character of the proposed Capital Contribution of such new Member.

(b) The Person shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this LLC Agreement and such other documents or instruments as the Management Committee may require.

(e) If required by the Management Committee, counsel for the Company or a qualified counsel for the transferee or donee or new Member, which counsel shall have been approved of by the Members, shall have rendered an opinion to the Members that the admission of the Person as a Member is in conformity with the Delaware Act and that none of the actions in connection with the admission will cause the termination or dissolution of the Company or will adversely affect its classification as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes.

(f) The Person, as required by the Management Committee, shall have paid all reasonable legal fees of the Company and the Members and filing costs in connection with its admission as a Member.

11.2 Financial Adjustments. No new Members shall be entitled to any retroactive allocation of losses, income, or expense deductions incurred by the Company. The Company shall, at its option, at the time a Member is admitted, do one of the following (i) close the Company's books (as though the Company's tax year had ended) or (ii) make pro rata allocations of loss, income, and expense deductions to a new Member for that portion of the Company's tax year in which a Member was admitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 706 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

ARTICLE 12
TERM. TERMINATION. AND DISTRIBUTION UPON LIQUIDATION

12.1 Term. The term of the Company commenced on the date the Certificate of Formation for the Company is filed in the Office of the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the Delaware Act and shall continue until December 31, 2047, unless earlier dissolved by the unanimous written consent of all of the Members, or the provisions of the Certificate of Formation, this LLC Agreement or the Delaware Act.

12.2 Withdrawal of a Member. A Member may withdraw, retire or resign from the Company at any time upon giving ninety (90) days prior written notice of such withdrawal to the remaining Members; provided, however, that absent the approval of such withdrawal by the affirmative vote or consent of all of the remaining Members within such ninety (90) day notice period, such a withdrawal shall be deemed a breach of this LLC Agreement allowing the Company to recover from the withdrawing Member damages for such breach as reasonably determined by the remaining Members, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, and offset such damages against the amounts otherwise distributable to the withdrawing Member.

Subject to the remaining provisions of this LLC Agreement, upon the withdrawal of a Member, the withdrawing Member shall be entitled to the "net asset value" of its aggregate Economic Interest in each Series it owns, which amount shall be the value of the Series' assets, net of the debts, liabilities and obligations attributable to the Series; less any deficit balance in the withdrawing Member's Capital Account, such consideration which the Company shall pay in cash at the closing, which closing shall be within thirty (30) days of the date such purchase price is determined at such time and place as designated by the Company. For purposes of this determination, the value of the Company's assets, other than cash, certificates of deposit and other instruments the value of which are readily ascertainable, shall be determined with reference to the fair market value of such assets as determined by the Company's regularly employed independent certified public accountant, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such withdrawal is deemed to be a breach of this LLC Agreement as provided above, then the amount to which the withdrawing Member is entitled for its Economic Interest shall not include any amount attributable to the goodwill of the Company and shall be reduced by an amount equal to any damages attributable to such breach as described above.

12.3 Events of Dissolution. Unless the continuation of the Company's business is approved by the affirmative vote or consent of all of the remaining Members within ninety (90) days of an event of withdrawal, the Company shall immediately dissolve upon an event of withdrawal.

(b) "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (or any corresponding provisions of succeeding law).

(c) "Company Minimum Gain" has the meaning for "partnership minimum gain" set forth in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d).

(d) "Depreciation" means, for each fiscal year, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction allowable under the Code with respect to an asset for such fiscal year, except that (i) with respect to any asset whose Gross Asset Value differs from its adjusted tax basis for federal tax purposes and which difference is being eliminated by use of the "remedial method" defined by Section 1.704-3(d) of the Regulations, Depreciation for such fiscal year shall be the amount of book basis recovered for such fiscal year under the rules prescribed by Section 1.704-3(d)(2) of the Regulations, and (ii) with respect to any other asset whose Gross Asset Value differs from its adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such fiscal year, Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such fiscal year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes of an asset at the beginning of such fiscal year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any reasonable method selected by the Management Committee.

(e) "Gross Asset Value" means, with respect to any asset, the asset's adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes (reduced by the amount of any liabilities that are liens on such asset), except as follows:

(i) The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member or Economic Interest Owner to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset, as determined by the contributing Member or Economic Interest Owner and all of the remaining Members;

(ii) The Gross Asset Values of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined by the Management Committee, as of the following times: (A) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company by any new or existing Member or Economic Interest Owner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (B) the distribution by the Company to a Member or Economic Interest Owner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Company; and (c) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g).

(iii) The Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to any Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be adjusted to equal the gross fair market value of such asset on the date of distribution as determined by the distributee and the Management Committee;

(iv) The Gross Asset Values of Company assets shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and Article 7 hereof; provided, however, that Gross Asset Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section (e)(iv) to the extent the Management Committee determine that an adjustment pursuant to Section (e)(ii) hereof is necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this Section (e)(iv).

If the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to Section (e)(i), Section (e)(ii), or Section (e)(iv) hereof, such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Net Profits and Net Losses.

Special Rules Regarding Allocation of Tax Items. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Article VI, the following special rules shall apply in allocating the Net Profits or Net Losses (or items thereof) of the Company:

(1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of Article 7 or this Exhibit B, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company fiscal year, each Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Member's or Economic Interest Owner's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member or Economic Interest Owner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section (1) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-1(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-1(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of Article 7 or this Exhibit B, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company fiscal year, each Member or Economic Interest Owner who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Member's or Economic Interest Owner's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member or Economic Interest Owner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section (1) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(3) [intentionally omitted]

(4) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Member or Economic Interest Owner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(5) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member or Economic Interest Owner in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, 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) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Member or Economic Interest Owners in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members and Economic Interest Owners to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(6) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) resulting in a Capital Account deficit for such Member in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this LLC Agreement or pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in any amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, such a Capital Account deficit as quickly as possible. The items to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6). This Section (6) is intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such regulation; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (6) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a Capital Account deficit after all other allocations provided for in Article 7 and this Exhibit B have been tentatively made as if this Section (6) were not in this LLC Agreement.

(7) In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any LLC taxable year in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this LLC Agreement or pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of LLC income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of LLC income and gain) as quickly as possible to eliminate such excess Capital Account deficits, provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (7) will be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have such a Capital Account deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in Article 7 and this Exhibit B have been tentatively made as if Section (6) and this Section (7) were not in this LLC Agreement.

(8) No items of loss or deduction will be allocated to any Member to the extent that any such allocation would cause the Member to have a, or increase the amount of an existing, Capital Account deficit in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this LLC Agreement or pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) at the end of any LLC taxable year. All items of loss or deduction in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section (8) shall be allocated among such other Members, which do not have such deficit Capital Account balances, pro rata, in proportion to their Economic Interests, until no Member may be allocated any such items of loss or deduction without having or increasing such a deficit Capital Account balance. Thereafter, any remaining items of loss or deduction shall be allocated to the Members, pro rata, in proportion to their relative aggregate Economic Interests.

(9) The allocations set forth in Sections (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9) hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 7 and this Exhibit B (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of such other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member in each LLC taxable year if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Regulatory Allocations relating to (i) Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and (ii) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Minimum Gain. Allocations pursuant to this Section (9) shall only be made with respect to Regulatory Allocations to the extent the Management Committee determine that such allocations shall otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Members. Further, allocations pursuant to this Section (9) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to (i) and (ii) above to the extent the Management Committee determine that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent Regulatory Allocations.

(10) Other Allocation Rules.

(a) The Members and Economic Interest Owners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by Article 7 and this Exhibit B and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of Article 7 and this Exhibit B in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(b) Consistent with and subject to Section 11.2 of the LLC Agreement, for purposes of determining the Net Profits, Net Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Net Profits, Net Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by a Majority in Interest of the applicable Series using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Member's or Economic Interest Owner's proportionate share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Company, within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members' and Economic Interest Owners' interests in Company Net Profits are in proportion to their Economic Interests in the applicable Series; provided, however, that to the extent possible, such excess nonrecourse liabilities will instead be allocated so as to minimize any recognition of gain of any Member or Economic Interest Owner which would result under Code Section 731 or Section 752 from the restructuring.

(d) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the Members shall endeavor not to treat distributions of Net Profits as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt.

(11) Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members and Economic Interest Owners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with Section (e)(i) above). The Members and Economic Interest Owners hereby agree that the "traditional method" described in Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) shall be used for allocating the disparity between the fair market value of a contributed asset and that asset's adjusted tax basis.

Other than the mandatory use of the traditional allocation method as specified above in this Section (11), any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Management Committee in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this LLC Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section (11) are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Person's Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this LLC Agreement.
