(i) The provisions of Section 4.06(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. The Board shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to this Section 4.06 if necessary in order to comply with Section 704 of the Code or applicable Treasury

22

Regulations thereunder; provided, that no such change shall have an adverse effect upon amounts distributable to any Member pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 10.03.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.06, no item of deduction or loss shall be allocated to a Member to the extent the allocation would cause a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account (after taking into account the adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) that exceeds the sum of (A) the amount that such Member would be required to reimburse the Company pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable Law plus (B) the amount that such Member is deemed obligated to reimburse pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5). In the event some but not all of the Members would have such excess Capital Account deficits as a consequence of such allocation of loss or deduction, the limitation set forth in this Section 4.06(b) shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible deduction or loss to each Member under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations. In the event any loss or deduction is specially allocated to a Member pursuant to the preceding sentence, an equal amount of income of the Company shall be specially allocated to such Member prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 4.06(a).

(iii) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate as quickly as possible any deficit balance in its Capital Accounts in excess of that permitted under Section 4.06(b)(ii) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. Any special allocations of items of income or gain pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this Section 4.06 so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.06 if such unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.

(iv) In the event the Company incurs any nonrecourse liabilities, income and gain shall be allocated in accordance with the “minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations.

(v) The Capital Accounts of the Members may be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect the fair market value (as determined by the Board) of Company property whenever permitted under such provision, and shall be adjusted when the Company is liquidated pursuant to Article X in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or in the case of a distribution of any property (other than cash).

(c) Tax Allocations. For federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with

23

the allocations of the corresponding items for Capital Account purposes under this Section 4.06, except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax and book basis will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), using the “remedial allocation” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) (and if applicable similar provisions of state and local Law), unless the Members otherwise agree.

(d) All decisions and other matters concerning the allocation of income, deductions, gains and losses among the Members, and accounting procedures, not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Such determination made by the Board shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive as to all Members.

27

Managers then in office. Meetings of the Board may be held at any time at any location specified in the notice thereof in such place within or without the State of Delaware, when called by any Albany Manager. Managers may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other or by any other means permitted by Law.

(b) Reasonable and sufficient notice of each meeting shall be given to each Manager.

Such written consent shall be filed with the records of the meetings of the Board and treated for all purposes as the act of the Board.

Section 5.06. Deadlock Events. In the case of a Deadlock Event, the Management Committee shall meet and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute to the mutual satisfaction of Albany and Safran.

(together, the “Senior Representatives”) who shall endeavor to resolve the dispute to the mutual satisfaction of Albany and Safran, including by meeting and using commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute. In the event the Senior Representatives are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of its delegation to the Senior Representatives, the chief executive officer of Albany International and the chief executive officer of Safran S.A. shall meet and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute for a period of no less than thirty (30) days.

28

Section 5.09. Business Plans.

(a) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, the Albany Managers shall prepare and deliver to the Board for consideration and approval in accordance with Section 5.02(g) a business plan for the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to the next five (5) years (the “Five Year Business Plan”) which shall be based on the aggregate requirements as set forth in the Long Term Supply Agreement as well as any future long-term supply agreements for new Parts in the Agreed Space. If any proposed Five Year Business Plan is not adopted by the Board in accordance with Section 5.02(g), the Five Year Business Plan, if any, most recently adopted by the Board in accordance with Section 5.02(g) shall remain in effect. If no Five Year Business Plan has yet been so adopted by the Board, then the Five Year Business Plan shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, be deemed to consist of the annual levels of hiring and capital expenditures by the Company, and its Subsidiaries, for the then most recent calendar year (or, solely with respect to the most recent calendar year prior to the Agreement Date, the annual levels of hiring and capital expenditures by Albany and its Subsidiaries), to support activities under the Long Term Supply Agreement.

(b) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, the Albany Managers shall prepare and deliver to the Board for consideration and approval a business plan for such Fiscal Year (each such business plan, an “Annual Business Plan”). Each Annual Business Plan shall include (i) certain material milestones related to minimum hiring and capital expenditure by the Company and its Subsidiaries for the applicable Fiscal Year (such milestones, “Material Milestones”) and (ii) a forecast of revenues, costs (including costs to be incurred under the Services Agreement) and expenses (including capital expenditures) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the applicable Fiscal Year. Annex III sets forth the initial material milestones related to minimum hiring and capital expenditures by the Company and its Subsidiaries for the five (5) Fiscal Years following the Agreement Date, it being understood that such milestones for each Fiscal Year set forth on Annex III shall be considered the Material Milestones for the applicable Fiscal Year until the adoption of an Annual Business Plan for the applicable Fiscal Year.

(c) For the purpose of determining whether a Material Milestone relating to capital expenditures by the Company and its Subsidiaries has been met, any capital expenditure will be deemed to have been made in the Fiscal Year in which the amounts in respect thereof were paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. A Material Milestone in respect of hiring by the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Fiscal Year shall be met if, from and after the Agreement Date and prior to the end of such Fiscal Year, employment offers from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have been accepted by an aggregate number of full-time equivalent employees (net of any such employees that, after the Agreement Date and prior to the end of such Fiscal Year, were hired, and thereafter ceased to be employed, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) that is equal to or in excess of the aggregate number of full-time equivalent employees as are specified as a Material Milestone for such Fiscal Year and each prior Fiscal Year following the Agreement Date.

(d) To the extent reasonably required in order to meet the Material Milestones, the Company shall request funding from Albany International in the form of Intercompany Loans as contemplated in Section 3.09.

29

Section 5.10. Employee Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent reasonably required in order to satisfy the reasonable employment needs of any of Albany, its Affiliates, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, Albany shall have the right to transfer, or cause the transfer of, any employee of Albany or any of its Affiliates to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and to cause the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to transfer any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to Albany or any of its Affiliates; provided, that (a) during any six (6) month period, the aggregate number of managerial and technical employees transferred from the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to Albany or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.10, shall not exceed 20% of the total number of managerial and technical employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries without Safran’s prior written consent and (b) at all times the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ requirements for the services provided by such transferred managerial and technical employees are met or exceeded.

ARTICLE VI

OFFICERS

Section 6.01. Designation; Term; Qualifications. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02, the Board may, from time to time, appoint one or more individuals to be officers of the Company. Any officer so appointed shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to him or her. Unless the Board decides otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any restrictions on such authority imposed by the Board and this Agreement (including Article V). Any number of offices may be held by the same Person. Without regard to the general delegation to the officers as set forth above, each officer who holds the title of “President”, “Senior Vice President” or “Vice President”, acting alone, shall have the authority to make, enter into and perform all contracts, agreements, reports and undertakings of the Company that have been authorized by the Board. Subject to Article V, the execution and delivery of such contracts, agreements or other documents, or the taking of any actions in connection therewith, shall be conclusive evidence of the Company’s approval thereof, and no further approval by the Company shall be required. Each officer shall hold office for the term for which such officer is appointed and until his or her successor shall be duly appointed and shall qualify, or until his or her death, resignation or removal as provided in this Agreement.

Section 6.02. Officers. As of the Agreement Date, the Company shall have such officers as required by and determined in accordance with this Section 6.02.

None of the Albany Officers shall be Managers. Each of the Albany Officers is an agent of the Company, and the actions of any of the Albany Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company. Each of the Albany Officers may be removed, with or without Cause, by unanimous vote of the Albany Managers, such removal to be effective upon such vote, unless otherwise set forth in the vote of the Albany Managers. In

30

the event of the resignation, removal or death of any Albany Officer, the Albany Managers shall appoint a new General Manager, Head of Engineering or CFO, as applicable.

(b) Safran shall have the right to appoint a director of human resources (the “HR Director”). The HR Director shall be consulted by the Company on matters relating to development and training, employee relations, employee safety, welfare, wellness and health, employee services and counseling and the relation of such matters to the common human resources handbook between Safran and the Company. The HR Director shall perform such duties at the reasonable direction of the General Manager consistent with the responsibilities described in this Section 6.02(b). The HR Director shall not be a Manager and, unless expressly authorized by the Board or by this Agreement, shall not have the authority to make, enter into or perform any contracts, agreements or undertakings of the Company. The Company shall (x) provide the HR Director with a copy of its standard form of employment, consulting or other agreements for hiring employees or independent contractors, (y) notify the HR Director of any material changes to the standard form of such agreements, and (z) in each case, consider in good faith any comments to such agreements provided by the HR Director. For avoidance of doubt, Albany Managers and Albany Officers shall be responsible for making and implementing all hiring and compensation decisions relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Within thirty (30) days following the beginning of each Fiscal Year and within thirty (30) days following the beginning of the third (3rd) quarter of each Fiscal Year, the Company shall provide the HR Director a list of all employees of the Company, which list shall set forth for each such employee (i) such employee’s number of years of composites experience, (ii) such employee’s core competencies and (iii) the percentage of hours worked by such employee during the preceding twelve (12) months on Company Services (as such term is defined in the Services Agreement) relative to the total number of hours worked by such employee during the preceding twelve (12) months. The HR Director may be removed (x) with or without Cause, by the Safran Manager or (y) with Cause, by the Board (with or without the approval of the Safran Manager). In the event of the resignation, removal or death of the HR Director, the Safran Manager shall appoint a new HR Director.

Section 6.03. Management Committee. The General Manager, the Head of Engineering, the HR Director and the CFO shall constitute the initial members of a management committee (the “Management Committee”) which shall be responsible for the day-to-day operational management of the Company, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 6.04. Removal and Resignation. Except as set forth in Section 6.02, the Board may remove any officer of the Company as such, with or without Cause, at any time. Any officer of the Company may resign as such at any time upon written notice to the Company. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time is specified therein, at the time of its receipt by the Company. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation.

Section 6.05. Vacancies. Except as set forth in Section 6.02, any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be filled by Board approval in accordance with Section 6.01.

ARTICLE VII

TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP UNITS

Section 7.01. Limitations on Transfer. (a) A Member may Transfer its Membership Units only in accordance with, and subject to the applicable provisions of, this Article VII.

(b) Any purported Transfer of Membership Units other than in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer for any purpose and shall not reflect in its records any change in record ownership of Membership Units pursuant to any such Transfer. Except for Permitted Transfers or Transfers in accordance with Section 7.05, each other Member must consent in writing to any purported Transfer, which Transfer (if any) shall be subject to such other Members’ preemption right on terms to be agreed between the Parties subject to agreement by the Parties on mutually acceptable terms.

(c) The Board or any officer of the Company shall amend Schedule A and Schedule B to reflect the admission of any additional Members and any Transfer, in each case, in accordance with this Article VII.

(d) The Membership Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is then available. To the extent such Membership Units have been certificated, each certificate evidencing Membership Units and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Membership Units shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON _______ AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SPECIFIED IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY OPERATING AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF _______, 2013, AS AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

32

The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates (if any) evidencing Membership Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Membership Units are not certificated, this Agreement will contain a legend in substantially the form stated above.

Section 7.02. Conditions to Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Transfer of Membership Units shall be permitted at any time unless the Board is reasonably satisfied in good faith that such Transfer would not cause the Company to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” as defined under Section 7704 of the Code or cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any Transfer of any Membership Units permitted under this Article VII shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of Transfer has been delivered to the Company, which instrument shall specify the Membership Units being Transferred and shall set forth the intention of the Transferor that the Transferee succeed to the transferor’s Membership Units as a substituted Member in the Transferor’s place;

(b) the Transferor and the Transferee have executed, acknowledged and delivered such other documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, to effect such substitution, including the execution of a counterpart to this Agreement by the transferee;

(c) the Transferee pays or reimburses the Company for any legal, filing and publication costs that the Company incurs in connection with the admission of the transferee as a Member; and

(d) the Transferee makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11.01 to the Company and the other Members as of the date of the Transfer.

Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the transferee shall automatically be admitted as a Member of the Company.

Section 7.03. Permitted Transfers. Subject to Section 7.04:

(a) subject to Section 3.09, a Member may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Membership Units to one of its Affiliates; provided, that such Affiliate is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Albany or Albany International (each such Transferee, an “Affiliate Transferee”); provided, that, if the Affiliate Transferee should at any time thereafter cease to be an Affiliate of such Member, such Membership Units shall be Transferred back to the original Transferor (or to an Affiliate of the original Transferor) prior to the time that such Affiliate Transferee ceases to be an Affiliate, so that at all times the Membership Units shall be held either by Albany, Safran or one of their respective Affiliates (except as otherwise permitted by this Article VII);

(b) subject to Section 7.05(a)(i), Albany may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Membership Units in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of

33

Albany International or Albany, all of the equity of Albany, or any merger or consolidation of Albany International or Albany with or into any Person; and

(c) Safran may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Membership Units in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any merger or consolidation of Safran S.A. with or into any Person.

Section 7.04. Rights and Obligations of Transferees and Transferors.

(a) Any Transferee of Membership Units (including any Affiliate of any Member) shall be required, at the time of and as a condition to such Transfer, to become a party to this Agreement by executing a counterpart to this Agreement and delivering such documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, to make such Person a party hereto, whereupon such Transferee will be treated as a Member for all purposes of this Agreement.

(e) (i) The Member understands that the offering and sale of the Membership Units are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities Laws (A) in the case of “U.S. persons” (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S of the Securities Act), in reliance on the private placement exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and exemptions under applicable U.S. state securities Laws (including Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act), and (B) in the case of persons that are not U.S. persons (each, a “Non-U.S. Person”), in reliance on Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and exemptions under the applicable Laws of the non-U.S. jurisdiction in which the Membership Units are being offered and sold. The Member is aware that the Membership Units cannot be sold or otherwise disposed of unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities Laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of so registering such interests under the Securities Act, and that accordingly such Member is able and is prepared to bear the economic risk of making a Capital Contribution and to suffer a complete loss of investment. The Member further agrees that it shall not engage in any Transfer of the Membership Units it acquires in any manner that would require the registration of the Membership Units under the Securities Act or under the Laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions.

(iv) If the Member is a Non-U.S. Person, the Member shall notify the Board promptly after it ceases to be a Non-U.S. Person.

(f) The Member (i) directly or indirectly, is acquiring the Membership Units in compliance with all applicable Laws and other legal requirements including the legal requirements of jurisdictions in which the Member is resident and in which such acquisition is being consummated, (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Membership Units; and (iii) has consulted with legal counsel and financial, accounting, regulatory and Tax advisors, as necessary, to ensure it is eligible to, directly or indirectly, acquire all or any part of the Membership Units.

(g) The Member has no need for liquidity in this investment, has the ability to bear the economic risk of this investment, and at the present time and in the foreseeable future can afford a complete loss of this investment.

46

(h) The Member agrees to deliver to the Company such information as to certain matters under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act and any Tax Laws as the Company may reasonably request in order to ensure compliance with such acts and Laws and the availability of any exemptions thereunder.

(i) The Member has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of, and other matters pertaining to, this investment, and has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Company as it has considered necessary to make a decision to invest in the Company and has availed itself of this opportunity to the full extent desired.

(j) The Member acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Affiliate thereof has rendered any investment advice or securities valuation advice to the Member, and that the Member is neither subscribing for nor acquiring any interest in the Company in reliance upon, or with the expectation of, any such advice.

(m) The Member understands that the Company intends to be classified and taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes and not as a publicly-traded partnership, and accordingly such Member agrees that it will not Transfer any interest in the Company if it would cause the Company to become a “publicly traded partnership” as such term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Section 13.11. No Partnership. The Members intend that the Company not be a partnership (including a limited partnership), joint venture, association or other co-operative entity and nothing in this Agreement nor any other document entered into by the Company or any Member relating to the subject matter hereof and no actions taken by the Parties under this Agreement or any such other document shall constitute a partnership (including a limited partnership), joint venture, association or other co-operative entity between any of the Parties or constitute any Party the agent of any other Party for any purpose, other than for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes.

All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the Parties; and no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any Party (including any Person negotiating or executing this Agreement on behalf of a Party), unless party to this Agreement, shall have any liability or obligation with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any claim or cause of action (whether in contract or tort) that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including a representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement).

Section 13.15. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their distributees, heirs, legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

Section 13.16. Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the Parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate

55

remedy at law. Any such Party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 13.17. Time of the Essence. The Parties agree that time shall be of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

Section 13.18. Exculpation Among Members. Each Member acknowledges that it is not relying upon any other Person in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company (other than the Company pursuant to any written agreement). Each Member agrees that no Member nor their respective Affiliates, controlling persons, officers, directors, managers, partners, agents or employees of any Member shall be liable to any other Member for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with their purchase or acquisition of any Membership Units, except with respect to breaches of any Transaction Documents.
