This OPERATING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered as of November 20, 2012, by APX Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Member”), as the sole and initial Member of 313 Aviation, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Company”) in order to specify the business and operation of the Company.

RECITALS

The Member has formed a limited liability company (the “Company”) under the Laws of the State of Utah;

The Member desires to enter into this Agreement in order to form and provide for the governance of the Company and the conduct of its business.

NOW THEREFORE, the Member hereby agrees as follows:

1.    DEFINITIONS.

All capitalized terms used in this Agreement are equally applicable to both the singular and plural derivations of the defined terms:

“Act” means the Utah Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, codified in the Utah Code, as amended from time to time.

“Member” means the initial member identified above and all new, or substitute Members, pursuant Section 12 of this Agreement.

2.    ORGANIZATION.

2.1    Formation. The Member has formed 313 Aviation, LLC (the “LLC” or sometimes the “Company”), pursuant to the Act, by causing a Limited Liability Company Certificate of Registration to be filed with the office of the Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code of the State of Utah (the “Department”) on November 27, 2012 (the “Certificate”). This Agreement shall govern the Member’s rights and obligations and the Company’s administration to the extent permitted by the Act.

2.2    Name. The Company’s name is “313 Aviation, LLC”. The Company may conduct business under any other name the Member deems necessary or desirable to comply with local law.

2.3    Business Purpose. The purpose of the Company is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which an LLC may be organized under the Act. The primary purpose of the Company shall be to manage the property now or hereafter owned by the Company; to acquire, lease, manage, and hold for investment purposes, stocks, bonds, securities, interests in


 

2

partnerships, real estate, or any other real and personal property (any and all of such property as may from time to time, be owned or used by the Company being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Property”); and generally to engage in any and all business activities that the Manager may, from time to time, deem to be in the best interests of the Company.

2.4    Term. The Company’s existence commenced on the date the Certificate was filed with the Department and shall continue until dissolved pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement.

2.5    Principal Place of Business. The Company’s principal place of business shall be located at 1212 W. Flight Line Drive, Provo, Utah 84601, or at such other location as the Member may determine from time to time. The Company may also have such offices, anywhere within or without the State of Utah, as the Member may determine from time to time.

2.6    Registered Office and Agent. The Company shall continuously maintain a registered agent in the State of Utah as required by the Act. The registered agent shall be as stated in the Certificate, or as otherwise determined by the Member from time to time.

2.7    Filing of Other Certificates. The Member shall execute, file, publish, and record all certificates, notices, statements, and other instruments and amendments thereto for the formation and operation of a limited liability company as the Member deems appropriate. The Member shall register the Company to transact intrastate business in such jurisdictions as the Member deems appropriate and in connection therewith to execute and file statements of information and similar required documents.

2.8    Tax Classification: Requirement of Separate Books and Records and Segregation of Assets and Liabilities. The Member acknowledges that because the Company is formed to have a single Member pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3, the Company shall be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes until the effective date of any election it may make to change its classification for federal income tax purposes to that of a corporation by filing IRS Form 8832, Entity Classification Election, or until the Company has more than one member in which case it would be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (provided that the Company has not elected on Form 8832 to be treated as a corporation). In all events, however, the Company shall keep books and records separate from those of its Member and shall at all times segregate and account for all of its assets and liabilities separately from those of its Member.

3.    MEMBER.

3.1     Member Names. The Member’s name, and current business address are as follows:

The Member may make additional contributions to the capital of the Company in the Member’s sole and absolute discretion.

5.    LIMITED LIABILITY. No Member shall be personally liable for the debts, obligations, losses, liabilities, or expenses of the Company, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or provided by applicable law. Any provision of this Agreement stating circumstances under which a Member may be required to return a distribution from the Company is intended only to state the current law, not to create additional obligations.
