CAPITAL

Units.





Membership interests in the Company shall be designated as Units (“Units”). There shall be one class of Units referred to as Common Units. The Company is authorized to issue a total of one thousand (1,000) Common Units. The Company may issue to its Members a certificate representing the Units owned by each Member. Such certificate shall be signed on behalf of the Company by the President or a Vice President of the Company and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, certifying the number of Units owned by each Member. The certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Company or the records of a registrar or transfer agent, if the Company elects to retain the services of a registrar or transfer agent, as they are issued. If any Officer of the Company shall have ceased to be such Officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he or she were such Officer at the date of issue.
Each Unit and the related membership interest will constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8.103 thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Texas. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Texas (the “UCC”), such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control.
The Board of Directors or any Officer authorized by the Board of Directors for such purposes may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors or such authorized Officer may, in his or her discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, prescribe such terms and conditions as they, he or she deems expedient and may require such indemnities as he or she deems adequate to protect the Company from any claim that may be made against it with respect to any such certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.
Units shall be transferable only on the books of the Company by the holder thereof in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney. Upon surrender to the Company or the transfer agent of the Company of a certificate for Units duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, a new certificate shall be issued to the person entitled thereto and the old certificate cancelled and the transaction recorded upon the books of the Company.
2.
Registered Holders as Owners.
1.
The Company may regard the person in whose name any Units issued by the Company are registered in the transfer records of the Company at any particular time as the owner of those Units at that time for purposes of voting those Units, receiving distributions thereon or notices in respect thereof, transferring those Units, exercising rights relating thereto, or giving proxies with respect to those Units; and
2.
Neither the Company nor any of its Officers, Directors, employees, or agents shall be liable for regarding that person as the owner of those Units at that time for those purposes, regardless of whether that person possesses a certificate for those Units.
3.
Record Dates.
For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive a distribution by the Company, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose (other than determining Members entitled to consent to action by Members proposed to be taken without a meeting of Members), the Board





of Directors may provide that the transfer records shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, sixty (60) days. If the transfer records shall be closed for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members, such records shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the transfer records, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of Members, such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days and, in the case of a meeting of Members, not less than ten (10) days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of Members is to be taken. With respect to any record date, the record ownership of Units as of such date shall be determined as of the opening of business on such date. If the transfer records are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members, or Members entitled to receive a distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such distribution is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the closing of the transfer records and the stated period of closing has expired.
Whenever action by Members is proposed to be taken by consent in writing without a meeting of Members, the Board of Directors may fix a record date for the purpose of determining Members entitled to consent to that action, which shall not precede, and shall not be more than ten (10) days after, the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action of the Board of Directors is not required by the Act, the record date for determining Members entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company by delivery to its registered office, registered agent, principal place of business, an Officer or agent having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of Members are recorded, or any transfer agent, registrar, or exchange agent, if applicable. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Delivery to the Company’s principal place of business shall be addressed to the Secretary or principal executive officer of the Company. If no record date shall have been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action of the Board of Directors is required by the Act, the record date for determining Members entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts a resolution taking such prior action.

Except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing, no arrangement or relationship between a Member and the Company or between that Member and another Member will create for any other Member in its capacity as such a fiduciary duty toward the Member having such an arrangement or relationship.

Subject to Section 10.3 of this Article 10, the Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or Officer of the Company, or is or was a Director or Officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee or agent or similar functionary of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (hereinafter referred to as a “Delegate”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are reasonable and actually incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, to be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) in all other cases was not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, to be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) in all other cases was not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
In the event that a person is found liable to the Company or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by such person, the indemnification (i) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding (ii) shall not include a judgment, penalty, fine, or any excise or similar tax, including excise tax assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, and (iii) shall not be made (even as to expenses) in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, for breach of his or her duty of loyalty owed to the Company, or for an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by him or her to the Company.
2.
Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.
Subject to Section 10.3 hereof and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or Officer of the Company or a Delegate against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official





capacity, to be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) in all other cases was not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
3.
Authorization of Indemnification.
Any indemnification of a Director or Officer under this Article 10 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company upon a determination that indemnification of the Director or Officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 of this Article 10, as the case may be and with respect to expenses, the amount of expenses other than a judgment is reasonable. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of those Directors who at the time of the vote are disinterested and independent regardless of whether such directors constitute a quorum, or (ii) by majority vote of a committee of the Directors duly designated by a majority vote of the directors who at the time of the vote are disinterested and independent, regardless of whether the Directors who are disinterested and independent constitute a quorum and consisting solely of one or more Directors who are disinterested and independent, or (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the Directors or a committee by vote in accordance with (i) or (ii) above in a written opinion, or (iv) by the Members of the Company in a vote that excludes the Units held by each Director who is not disinterested and independent; or (vi) by a unanimous vote of the Members. To the extent, however, that current or former Director or Officer of the Company or Delegate has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by him or her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
Any indemnification under this Article 10 shall be made promptly and, in any event, to the extent practicable, within sixty days of receipt by the Company of the written request of the person to be indemnified.
4.
Good Faith Defined.
For purposes of any determination under Section 10.3 of this Article 10, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, to be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) in all other cases was not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the Officers of the Company or the officers of another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 10.4 shall mean any other limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee,





employee or agent or similar functionary. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 10.1 or 10.2 of this Article 10, as the case may be.
5.
Indemnification by a Court.
Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 10.3 of this Article 10 and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any current or former Director or Officer or Delegate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Texas for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of this Article 10. Such court may order indemnification to the extent the court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If such application is successful, in whole or in part, the Director or Officer or Delegate seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of securing the indemnification.

6.
Expenses Payable in Advance.

7.
Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article 10 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any governing document, agreement, contract, vote of members or disinterested Directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action taken (or omitted to be taken) in his or her official capacity and as to action taken (or omitted to be taken) in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of this Article 10 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article 10 shall not be deemed to prelude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 10.1 or 10.2 of this Article 10 but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Act, or otherwise.
8.
Insurance.
The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Company or a Delegate against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Act or the provisions of this Article 10. The Company may also obtain a letter of credit, act as self-insurer, create a reserve, trust, escrow, cash collateral or other fund or account,





enter into indemnification agreements, pledge or grant a security interest in any assets or properties of the Company, or use any other mechanism or arrangement whatsoever in such amounts, at such costs, and upon such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall deem appropriate for the protection of any or all such persons.
9.
Certain Definitions.

For purposes of this Article 10, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a Director or Officer of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Director or Officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; a person who acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Article 10; and an action taken or omitted by a Delegate for a purpose reasonably believe by the person to be in the interest of the other enterprise or its owners or members is for a purpose that is “not opposed to the best interest of the enterprise” as referred to in this Article 10.
10.

11.
Limitation on Indemnification.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 10.5 hereof), the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Director or Officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.
12.
Indemnification of Advisory Directors, Employees and Agents.
The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to Directors, Advisory Directors, Officers, employees and agents of the Company or of its wholly or partially owned, direct or indirect affiliated or subsidiary companies similar to those conferred in this Article 10 to Directors and Officers of the Company.
13.
Repeal or Modification.





All rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses under this Article 10 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each Director and Officer who serves or has served in any such capacity, and each other person as to whom the Company has agreed to grant indemnity at any time while this Article is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Article or any repeal or modification of relevant provisions of the Act or any other applicable law shall not in any way diminish any right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses of such Director, Officer or other person as to whom the Company has agreed to grant indemnity, or the obligations of the Company, arising hereunder for claims relating to matters occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
14.
Separability.
If this Article 10 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Director and Officer, and each employee, agent and other person as to whom the Company has agreed to grant indemnity to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article 10 that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

Action Without Meetings.

14.
