Any such Additional Fundings shall be made in such form (whether debt, equity or otherwise) as both GE and Woodward shall mutually agree in writing, taking into account tax, accounting and other considerations.

Section 10.02. Duties and Liabilities. Without limiting Article VI, Officers and employees of the Company shall, in their capacities as such, be expected to perform their duties and make decisions in furtherance of the best interests of the Company, regardless of whether such Officers or employees are designated or seconded by a particular Member or Director or any Affiliates thereof.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, but subject to Section 10.04, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Covered Persons and the Officers and may indemnify, defend and hold harmless employees, Secondees, consultants and other agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any Damages incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by that Indemnified Person in connection with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and from and against all liabilities and obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries imposed on such Indemnified Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by virtue of such Indemnified Person’s position with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and any amounts expended in the settlement of any such Proceedings for Damages. Indemnification under this Section 10.03 will be recoverable only from the assets of the Company and not from any assets of the Members. To the extent any Indemnified Person

is entitled to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by any Member or any Affiliate, the Company is the indemnitor of first resort under this Agreement and any rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person pursuant to any indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by any Member or any Affiliate is secondary to the primary obligation of the Company as provided herein.

ARTICLE XI
DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 11.01. Distributions. Subject to Section 4.05(c) and Section 5.10(d), (a) on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, the Company shall distribute to the Members the Net Available Cash as of the last day of the second calendar month of such quarter, and (b) subject to Section 5.07(f), any distribution to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be made to each of the Members in accordance with the respective Percentage Interests of the Members on the date of such distribution.

Section 11.02. Distribution in Kind. In the event that the Company makes a distribution to the Members of property other than cash, any such distributions shall be made as nearly as practicable in accordance with the respective Percentage Interests of the Members on the date of such distribution as agreed by the Members and based on the Asset Fair Market Value of such property.

Section 11.03. Restrictions on Distributions. The foregoing provisions of this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, no distribution may be made if such distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party, the Act or any other Law then applicable to the Company.

Section 11.04. Withholding Tax Payments and Obligations. If withholding taxes are paid or required to be paid in respect of payments made to or by the Company, such payments or obligations shall be treated as follows:

(a) Payments to the Company. If the Company receives proceeds in respect of which a tax has been withheld, the Company shall be treated as having received cash in an amount equal to the amount of such withheld tax, and, for all purposes of this Agreement, subject to Section 11.04(d), each Member shall be treated as having received a distribution pursuant to this Article XI equal to the portion of the withholding tax allocable to such Member and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Member shall be allocated any expense item arising from such withheld taxes. In the event that the Company receives a refund of taxes previously withheld by a third party from one (1) or more payments to the Company, the economic benefit of such refund shall be apportioned among the Members in a manner that offsets the prior operation of this Section 11.04(a) in respect of such withheld taxes.

(b) Payments by the Company. The Company is authorized to withhold from any payment made to, or any distributive share of, a Member any taxes required by law to be withheld. If, and to the extent, the Company is required to make any such tax payments with respect to any distribution to a Member, either (i) such Member’s proportionate share of such distribution shall be reduced by the amount of such tax payments (which tax payments, subject to Section 11.04(d), shall be treated as a distribution to such Member pursuant to this Article XI), or (ii) such Member shall pay to the Company prior to such distribution an amount of cash equal to such tax payments (which payment of cash shall not be deemed a Capital Contribution for purposes hereof). In the event a portion of a distribution in kind is retained by the Company pursuant to clause (i) above, such retained property may, in the discretion of the Board, either

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(A) be distributed in accordance with this Article XI, or (B) be sold by the Company to generate the cash necessary to satisfy such tax payments. If property is sold pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company and the relevant Member shall treat the sale as if such property is distributed to such Member in kind and sold by such Member and not by the Company.

(c) Overwithholding. Neither the Company, the Tax Matters Partner, nor the Board shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Member’s Membership Interest, and, in the event of overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Company will notify a Member if it becomes aware that amounts were erroneously withheld and assist such Member in recovering such amounts.

(d) Certain Withheld Taxes Treated as Demand Loans. Any taxes withheld pursuant to Section 11.04(a) or Section 11.04(b) shall be treated as if distributed to the relevant Member to the extent an amount equal to such withheld taxes would then be distributable to such Member, and, to the extent in excess of such distributable amounts, as a demand loan payable by the Member to the Company with interest at the LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time [***]. The Board may, in its discretion, either demand payment of the principal and accrued interest on such demand loan at any time, and enforce payment thereof by legal process, or may withhold from one (1) or more distributions to a Member amounts sufficient to satisfy such Member’s obligations under any such demand loan.

ARTICLE XII
BOOKS, RECORDS, AUDIT, ACCOUNTING AND OTHER INFORMATION

Section 12.01. Books and Records. Appropriate books and records in accordance with and as required by the Act or any other applicable Law shall be kept by the Company.

In addition, such books and records shall at all times be kept at Woodward, Inc., Rock Cut Campus, One Woodward Way, Loves Park, Illinois 61111 or such other locations as approved by the Board.

(c) The Board shall, and shall cause the Company to, prepare and furnish to the Members, within forty-five (45) days prior to the final due date (taking applicable extensions into account) for the filing of any U.S. federal income tax return on IRS Form 1065 with respect to the Company, a proposed final draft of an IRS Form 1065 for the Company for the Members’ review and approval. If so requested by a Member, the Company shall arrange for the individuals who had primary responsibility for preparing the proposed final draft of the IRS Form 1065 to meet (in person or by telephone as requested by the Member) representatives of the Member (at a place and a time, within thirty (30) days after the draft is furnished to the Member, as are reasonably satisfactory to the Company) for the purpose of discussing the positions taken on such tax returns.

Section 12.04. Accounting Matters. The Company’s books and records shall be kept in accordance with the accrual method of accounting for income tax, consistent with the Company Accounting Methodology for other reporting purposes, except, in each case as may otherwise be required by applicable Law.

Section 12.05. Tax Matters.

(a) Woodward is hereby designated, and agrees to act, at the direction of the Board, as the “tax matters partner” (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) (the “Tax Matters Partner”) for the Company. In carrying out its duties as Tax Matters Partner, Woodward agrees: (i) to not take any material action in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner on behalf of the Company without prior Unanimous Member Approval; and (ii) to deliver to GE in a timely manner, but no later than seven (7) Business Days following receipt of any material notices, documents or correspondence, copies of any and all material notices, material documents or other material correspondence addressed to the Company that Woodward receives in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner, or to the Tax Matters Partner on the Company’s behalf, from any taxing jurisdiction.

In its capacity as Tax Matters Partner, Woodward shall (A) have only the duties applicable to tax matters partners specified in the Code, (B) not be held liable for Liabilities for any actions or omissions other than for Liabilities arising out of its actions or omissions that constitute fraud or willful disregard of the provisions of the Code applicable to tax matters partners, and (C) be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for any Liabilities reasonably incurred by it in

connection with its actions, omissions, and status as Tax Matters Partner so long as such Liability is not attributable to its fraud or willful disregard of the provisions of the Code applicable to tax matters partners. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Woodward as a Tax Matters Partner shall be borne by the Company.

(b) The Members agree to cooperate with the Company and with each other in connection with the examination of the Company’s returns pertaining to sales and use taxes, property taxes and all other taxes, including any resulting administrative and judicial Proceedings. With respect to any issues that arise in connection with the examination of the Company’s returns pertaining to sales and use taxes, property taxes and all other taxes neither the Company nor any Member shall take any action relating to such taxes without prior Unanimous Member Approval. The reasonable costs and expenses of any such administrative and judicial Proceedings, including the cost of any representative or counsel, shall, in all events, be borne by the Company.

The Designated Return Preparer shall not be the principal auditor of any Member. Any payment required to be made to the Designated Return Preparer shall be at the full cost and expense of the Company.

(d) Election into TEFRA. The Members intend that the Company be subject to the consolidated audit rules of Sections 6221 through 6234 of the Code during each Taxable Year.

ARTICLE XIII
BOOK ALLOCATIONS

Section 13.01. General Application. The rules set forth in this Article XIII shall apply for the purposes of determining each Member’s general allocable share of the items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company comprising Net Income or Net Loss of the Company for each Taxable Year, determining special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and deduction, and adjusting the balance of each Member’s Capital Account pursuant to the definition of Capital Account to reflect the aforementioned general and special allocations. For each Taxable Year, the special allocations in Section 13.03 shall be made immediately prior to the general allocations of Section 13.02.

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of such Taxable Year to equal the excess (which may be negative) of:

(i) the amount of the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Member would receive if, on the last day of the Taxable Year, (A) all Company assets were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such Taxable Year, (B) all Company liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability or any Member Nonrecourse Debt in respect of such Member, to the Gross Asset Values of the assets securing such liability), and (C) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Article XI over;

(ii) the sum of (A) the amount, if any, without duplication, that such Member would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, (B) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (C) such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704 2(i)(5), all computed as of the hypothetical sale described in Section 13.02(a)(i);

All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 13.02(b) shall be allocated first to Members who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata, in proportion to their Capital Accounts, adjusted as provided in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit,” until no Member would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter to the Members in accordance with their interest in the Company as determined by the Board.

(c) No Deficit Restoration Obligation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, at no time during the term of the Company or upon Liquidation thereof shall a Member with a negative balance in its Capital Account have any obligation to the Company or the other Members to restore such negative balance, except as may be required by law or in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.

Section 13.03. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease during a Taxable Year in either Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII, each Member shall receive such special allocations of items of Company income and gain as are required in order to conform to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2.

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) Qualified Income Offset. Subject to Section 13.03(a), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner that complies with the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).

(c) Deficit Capital Accounts Generally. If a Member has a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of any Taxable Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is then obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is then deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income and gain of the Company for such Taxable Year in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided, that any allocation under this Section 13.03(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of such sum after all allocations provided for in this Article XIII have been tentatively made as if this Section 13.03(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Deductions Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated to the Members in the manner in which they share the economic risk of loss (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752 2) for such Member Nonrecourse Debt.

Section 13.04. Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 13.05. Tax Allocations.

(a) Section 704(b) Allocations. Subject to Section 13.05(b), each item of income, gain, loss, or deduction for federal income tax purposes that corresponds to an item of income, gain, loss or expense that is either taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss or is specially allocated pursuant to Section 13.03 (a “Book Item”) shall be allocated among the Members in the same proportion as the corresponding Book Item is allocated among them pursuant to Section 13.02, Section 13.03 or Section 13.04.

(i) If the Company recognizes Depreciation Recapture in respect of the sale of any Company asset,

(A) the portion of the gain on such sale which is allocated to a Member pursuant to Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 shall be treated as consisting of a portion of the Company’s Depreciation Recapture on the sale and a portion of the balance of the Company’s remaining gain on such sale under principles consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1245-1, and

(B) if, for federal income tax purposes, the Company recognizes both “unrecaptured Section 1250 gain” (as defined in Code Section 1(h)) and gain

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

treated as ordinary income under Code Section 1250(a) in respect of such sale, the amount treated as Depreciation Recapture under Section 13.05(a)(i) shall be comprised of a proportionate share of both such types of gain.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 13.05(a), “Depreciation Recapture” means the portion of any gain from the disposition of an asset of the Company which, for federal income tax purposes, (a) is treated as ordinary income under Code Section 1245, (b) is treated as ordinary income under Code Section 1250, or (c) is “unrecaptured Section 1250 gain” as such term is defined in Code Section 1(h).

In the event any property of the Company is credited to the Capital Account of a Member at a value other than its tax basis (whether as a result of a contribution of such property or a revaluation of such property pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”), then allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deductions with respect to such property shall be made in a manner which will comply with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Company shall elect to use the “traditional method” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) unless all Members agree pursuant to Unanimous Member Approval to make, “curative” or “remedial” allocations (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(c)) including:

(i) “curative” allocations which offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” for a prior Taxable Year (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑3(c)(3)(ii)); and

(ii) “curative” allocations from dispositions of contributed property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B)).

(c) Certain Adjustments. If by reason of Section 482 of the Code both the Company and a Member are required to recognize tax items (the “Adjustment”), the items so recognized by the Company shall be specially allocated to such Member (and such Member’s Capital Account shall be adjusted as necessary to properly reflect both aspects of the Adjustment) so that (i) the amounts of net taxable income (or loss) recognized by each Member (attributable to the Member’s distributive share of the Company’s taxable income (or loss) and any portion of the Adjustment made to the Member’s taxable income (or loss)) and (ii) the Capital Account balances of each Member are, to the maximum extent possible, the same as would have been the case if the Adjustment had not been made.

(d) Credits. All tax credits shall be allocated among the Members as determined by the Board, consistent with applicable Law.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.05(c), the tax allocations made pursuant to this Section 13.05 shall be solely for tax purposes and shall not affect any Member’s Capital Account or share of non-tax allocations or distributions under this Agreement.

Section 13.06. Transfer of Interest. In the event of a Transfer of all or any portion of a Membership Interest (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) at any time other

than the end of a Taxable Year, the shares of items of Company Net Income or Net Loss and specially allocated items allocable to the interest Transferred shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee under an interim closing of the Company’s books in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions of the Code.

Section 13.07. Covenants.

(a) It is the intention of the Members that the Company be treated as a partnership for Federal, state and local income tax purposes. Without prior Unanimous Member Approval, the Members agree not to take any action or fail to take any action (including by amendment of this Agreement) which action or inaction would be inconsistent with such treatment.

(iii) The Company will not at any time have more than 100 Members (or persons treated as partners) within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h).
