Company, engage any Member or an Affiliate of any Member or Manager to render services
or provide goods to the Company.

Duty of Loyalty. A Manager shall owe a fiduciary duty of loyalty to the Company; provided that
such duty of loyalty shall not include the aspects of the duty of loyalty set forth in Sections

or a knowing violation of law.
Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. A Manager shall also discharge the duties and obligations
under the Act or under this Agreement and exercise any rights consistently with the contractual
obligation of good faith and fair dealing.
● Notwithstanding the above, a Manger does not violate a duty or obligation under the Act or
under this Agreement solely because such Manager’s conduct furthers such Manager’s own
interest.
○ Limited Liability. The debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising
in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the
Company and a Manager shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation
or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Manager of the Company.
○ Devotion of Time by Manager. The Company is not the principal business of the
Members, and the Members agree and acknowledge that they shall not be required to
devote full time to Company business, but shall devote sufficient time to assure
appropriate management and conduct of Company business.
○ Other Business of Manager. A Manager and its agents, Affiliates, employees or any of
their respective representatives of agents may engage or possess any interests in other
business ventures whether or not directly competing with the Company, or to exploit
business opportunities whether or not arising from the conduct of Company business of
any kind, independently or with others. Neither the Company or any Manager nor the
holder of any interest in the Company shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or
the relationship created hereby in, or to, such ventures or activities or to the income or
profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the
business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.
○ Company Indemnification of Manager. The Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold
a Manager and its Affiliates, shareholders, directors, members, managers, employees,
agents and the officers of the Company, or any of their respective successors, executors,
administrators or personal representatives (each, a “Manager Indemnitee Party”)
harmless from and against any claim or demand against any Manager Indemnitee Party
9
and any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
sustained or incurred as a result of any act or omission concerning the business or
activities of the Company or due to such Manager Indemnitee Party’s former or present
capacity as a Manger of the Company or other Manager Indemnitee Party (each, a
“Claim”); provided that such Claim does not arise from a Manager Indemnitee Party’s
breach of Sections 405, 407 or 409 of the Act. The Company may advance reasonable
expenses incurred by a Manager Indemnitee Party in connection with a Claim against
such Manager Indemnitee Party so long as such Manager Indemnitee Party promises to
repay the Company if such Manager Indemnitee Party is determined to not be entitled to
indemnification under this Section 10.11.
○ Exculpation of Managers. Any act or the failure to do any act by a Manager or, if such
Manager is not an individual, any stockholder, officer, manager, member, director or
employee of such Manager, the effect of which results in loss or damage to the Company,
shall not give rise to any liability to such Manager so long as such Manager’s conduct did
not involve bad faith, willful misconduct or recklessness.
○ Insurance. At the sole discretion of the Managers, the Company may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of a Manager against any liability asserted against or
incurred by such Manager in any such capacity or arising out of his, her or its status as a
Manager, whether or not the Company would have the power to eliminate or limit such
Manager’s liability to the Company for the conduct giving rise to the liability under
Section 10.12 or Section 112(3)(g) of the Act.
○ Salary and Expenses. The Members may, in their sole discretion, elect to compensate a
Manager for services rendered to, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company shall
reimburse a Manager for any payments made by such Manager, its Affiliates, employees

duties of such Manager so long as such Manager complies with Sections 407 and 409 of
the Act in making such payment.
10
■ Duty of Care. The Members shall owe no fiduciary duty of care to the Company.
■ Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. The Members shall discharge the duties
and obligations under the Act or under this Agreement and exercise any rights
consistently with the contractual obligation of good faith and fair dealing.
Notwithstanding the above, a Member does not violate a duty or obligation under
the Act or under this Agreement solely because such Member’s conduct furthers
such Member’s respective interests.
○ Voting of Members. The Members shall have the right to vote only on those matters
specifically reserved for their approval or consent set forth in this Agreement or pursuant to
unwaivable provisions of the Act. Any action or vote by Majority Consent of the Members
shall be deemed to be the action or vote of all Members.
○ Meetings of Members; Written Consent. The Members may, but are not required, to have
meetings of Members. Meetings of the Members may be called by one or more Members
whose aggregate Membership Interests are in excess of thirty (30) percent. All Members
must be given notice of all Member meetings at least five (5) days but not more than sixty

meeting is called. Any meeting of the Members may be convened using electronic means of
communication so long as all Members participating in such meeting are able to
communicate one with another. A quorum of Members must be present for any business to
be transacted at any such meeting. For purposes of this Section 11.5, a quorum consists of
Members holding at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Membership Interests of the
Company. Any action of the Members may be taken without a meeting in accordance with
the Act.
○ Company Indemnification of the Members. The Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold
a Member and its Affiliates, shareholders, directors, members, managers, employees, agents
and the officers of the Company, or any of their respective successors, executors,
administrators or personal representatives (each, a “Member Indemnitee Party”) harmless
from and against any Claim sustained or incurred as a result of Member Indemnitee Party’s
former or present capacity as a Member of the Company or other Member Indemnitee Party;
provided that such Claim does not arise from a Member Indemnitee Party’s breach of
Sections 405, 407 or 409 of the Act. The Company may advance reasonable expenses
incurred by a Member Indemnitee Party in connection with a Claim against such Member
Indemnitee Party so long as such Member Indemnitee Party promises to repay the Company

operation of law, order of any court, contract, gift, will, intestacy, financial insolvency,
12
division of property in the context of a divorce or separation proceeding, or otherwise
(“Transfer”), without the unanimous consent of the Members, absent which consent any

such required consent of the other Members, any lifetime disposition of a Membership
Interest is also subject to the Company’s right of first refusal set forth in Section 14.2 hereof.

■ Notice of Offer. If a Member proposes to sell or otherwise dispose of such Member’s
Membership Interest (or any portion thereof) to any unrelated entity or person, such
Member will obtain a bona fide, executed written offer (the “Offer”) for the proposed
sale or other disposition and will, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Offer, submit
to the Company and the other Members a true and complete copy of such Offer. The
Offer shall specify the nature of the transfer, the consideration to be received therefor
(which shall be expressed in dollars), the identity of the proposed purchaser (and the
individuals ultimately owning or controlling the purchaser, directly or indirectly), and all
of the terms upon which such Member intends to undertake such sale or other
disposition. The Company and such other Members shall have the first right to purchase
such Membership Interest as set forth in this Section 14.2.
■ Option to Company. The Managers by Majority Consent of the votes shall have thirty
(30) days from receipt of the Offer (the “Company Option Period”) to accept or reject
the Offer in full on behalf of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Offer. The Company may elect the payment terms as set forth in the Offer or those
payment terms set forth in Section 15.3 hereof.
■ Option to other Members. If the Managers decline to accept said offer on behalf of the
Company, the other Members (other than the transferring Member) may assign the Offer
to those Members who desire to accept it, pro rata in proportion to such Members’
Membership Interests or as such Members may otherwise agree among themselves.
Such other interested Members must accept the Offer in writing within thirty (30) days
after expiration of the Company Option Period (the “Member Option Period”). Such
other interested Members may elect the payment terms as set forth in the Offer or those
payment terms set forth in Section 15.3 hereof.
■ Transfer to Third Party. If the other Members decline to accept the Offer or otherwise
waive their rights hereunder, and the other Members have consented to the Transfer
pursuant to Section 14.1 above, the transferring Member shall be free to accept the Offer
from said third party, provided he or she does so within thirty (30) days after the earlier
of the end of the Member Option Period or receipt of the other Members’ waiver and
provided he or she consummates the sale of his or her Membership Interest, or portion
thereof, without any material variation in the terms and conditions stated in said offer. If
the thirty (30) day period for acceptance expires or if such Member desires to materially
13
vary any of the terms and conditions of the offer, he or she must follow the procedure set
forth above as if he or she were receiving a new offer of purchase.
○ Transferring Member’s Capital Account Balance. That portion of the Capital Account
balance of a Member who transfers all or any portion of his or her Membership Interest in the
Company, as permitted hereunder, which is attributable to such transferred interest, shall
carry over to the transferee as set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l) of the Regulations;
provided, however, if such portion is a negative amount, it shall constitute a liability of the
transferring Member to the Company and shall be paid in full within ninety (90) days after
such sale or other transfer, unless the other Members consent to the assumption of such
liability by the transferee.
○ Internal Revenue Service Reporting Requirements. In the event of a sale or exchange of an
interest in the Company, the Members shall comply with the reporting requirements of Code
§ 6050K.
○ Optional Buy-Out Upon Certain Events. Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of an
Optional Buy-Out Event (defined below), the Company shall have sixty (60) days in which it
may (but is not obligated to) exercise an option to purchase the entire interest in the
Company of the Member to whom or by whom an Optional Buy-Out Event has occurred (the
“Liquidating Member”). An 80% Majority Consent of the votes of the Managers shall be
required to exercise such option.
■ Optional Buy-Out Event Defined. An “Optional Buy-Out Event” shall consist of any of
the following events or circumstances:
■ a Withdrawal Event described in Section 1.1(n) hereof;

breach remains uncured after reasonable notice and opportunity to cure.
■ Exercise. Exercise of said option by the Company shall be made by giving written notice
thereof to the Liquidating Member or the personal representative, trustee or other
successor-in-interest of the Liquidating Member, effective as of the date of notice of such
election. Valuation of the Membership Interest in the Company of the Liquidating
Member shall be pursuant to Section 15.2, below, and payment for such interest shall be
pursuant to Section 15.3 below.
○ Purchase Price for Liquidating Member’s Membership Interest. The purchase price for a
Liquidating Member’s Membership Interest shall be determined by Majority Consent of the
votes of the Managers. If the Managers cannot agree upon a purchase price for such
Liquidating Membership Interest or if the Liquidating Member objects to the purchase price
14
determined by the Managers, the purchase price shall be made by and independent qualified
appraiser mutually agreeable to, and selected by, the Managers. The Liquidating Member
shall pay all costs associated with the determination of the redemption price.
○ Payment Schedule. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Company and the Liquidating
Member, the Company will have the right to pay the purchase price for the Liquidating
Member’s Membership Interest by providing an unsecured promissory note for the amount of
the purchase price with (a) a term of up to seven (7) years, (b) a per annum interest rate equal
to 6% and (c) that is payable in equal monthly, quarterly or annual installments (as elected by
the Company in its sole discretion) of principal and accrued interest. The Company shall
have the right to prepay all or any portion of such obligation at any time without notice or
penalty. In the event the Company terminates under ARTICLE 17 below, prior to the
payment in full of the foregoing obligation, the entire remaining balance of principal and
accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable by the Company, as set forth in
Section 17.3 below.
○ Insurance.

Membership Interest of a deceased Member, the Company or the other Members may
purchase a policy or policies of life insurance on any Member’s life to effectuate their
respective obligations under this Agreement.

Membership Interest of a disabled Member, the Members may purchase a policy or
policies of disability insurance on the Members to effectuate their respective obligations
under this Agreement.

in this Section 15.4, shall have the right to purchase any or all of such policies from the
owner thereof within ninety (90) days after any of the following:

■ a permitted lifetime Transfer of all of such Member’s Membership Interest.
The foregoing right of purchase shall be exercised as to each policy by written notice delivered
to the owners thereof within the time specified. Within ten (10) days after giving such notice,
the insured shall pay to the policy owners an amount equal to the cash surrender value as defined
in the policy, adjusted to the date of transfer of ownership of the policy to the purchaser. The
parties agree to execute such releases and assignments as may be reasonably necessary to any
such policy transfer.

for any reason, the Managers shall commence to wind up the affairs of the Company and (a)
convert all of the Company’s assets to cash or cash equivalents within such reasonable period
of time as may be required to receive fair value therefor, (b) discharge the Company’s debts,
obligations and other liabilities as set forth herein, (c) settle and close the Company’s
activities and affairs and (d) marshal and distribute the assets of the Company as set forth
herein. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit during the period of liquidation
shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as before the dissolution.
○ Liquidation. Upon the termination of the Company, the Managers (or a liquidating trustee or
agent appointed by the Managers) shall apply and distribute the remaining property of the
Company, together with the proceeds of any sales of same, as follows:
16
● first, all Company debts and liabilities shall be paid and discharged to creditors in priority
required by applicable law (which may include debts for loans made by the Members);
● second, to a reserve which the Managers may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent
or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company. Such funds may be placed in escrow
by the Managers for the purposes of disbursing such funds in payment of any of the
contingencies, liabilities or obligations, and, at the expiration of such period as the Managers
shall deem advisable, the balance then remaining shall be distributed pursuant to Section
17.4(c); and
● third, any balance thereof to the Members in the amount of the final balances in their
respective Capital Accounts (after the allocation of all Profits and Losses).
● Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of such Member’s
investment in the Company, and if such assets or the proceeds from the liquidation of such
assets are insufficient to return said investment, such Member shall have no recourse against
any other Member. Liquidating distributions to Members shall be made by the later of (x)
the end of the Company taxable year in which liquidation occurs, or (y) ninety (90) days after
liquidation.
○ Return of Capital Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to the return of specific
property contributed to the Company or to any payments in liquidation of such Member’s
interest in the Company other than in cash.
○ Negative Capital Account Balance. Notwithstanding the last paragraph of Section 17.4, a
debit (negative) balance in any Member’s Capital Account which, but for this provision,
would exist upon termination of the Company (after the allocation of all Company Profits or
Losses) shall constitute a liability of such Member to make an additional capital contribution
to the Company equal to such debit balance, which liability shall be paid in full by the later
of (a) the end of the Company taxable year in which liquidation occurs or (b) ninety (90)
days after liquidation.
○ Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement (other than Schedule A or Schedules 10.4(a) or
10.4(b) as described below) may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by
85% of the Membership Interest. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
amended, waived or terminated except as provided in the preceding sentence. No course of
dealing between the parties will modify, amend, waive or terminate any provision of this
Agreement or any rights or obligations of any party under or by reason of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall amend Schedule A or Schedules 10.4(a)
or 10.4(b) without having to obtain the consent of any Member, as appropriate to reflect
accurately the Members of the Company, their respective Membership Interests or addresses
or any other information contained therein.
17
○ Amendment of Certificate. If this Agreement shall be amended pursuant to this ARTICLE
18, the Members shall cause the Certificate to be amended, to the extent required by
applicable law, to reflect such change.
