ARTICLE 4
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, MEMBER INTERESTS,
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

(a) Initial Capital Contributions. On or prior to January 1, 2012, MWE Operating Company and EMG shall have made the respective Capital Contributions (each, an "Initial Capital Contribution") to the Company in the amounts set forth on Exhibit B in exchange for the initial Percentage Interest and the type of Interest set forth on Exhibit B.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be subject to adjustment (upward and downward) pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), based upon the Members' respective Investment Balances giving effect to such additional Capital Contributions. If elections to contribute capital by the Members are less than the total amount of capital required by the Company consistent with the applicable Approved Budget pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), then the Company may seek to obtain the requested capital from third parties, which may include issuing additional Interests in the Company pursuant to Sections 5.3 and subject to Section 5.6, if applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be subject to adjustment (upward and downward) pursuant to this Section 4.1(d), based upon the Members' respective Investment Balances giving effect to such additional Capital Contributions. If elections to contribute capital by the Members are less than the total amount of capital required by the Company consistent with the applicable Approved Budget pursuant to this Section 4.1(d), then the Company may

seek to obtain the requested capital from third parties, which may include issuing additional Interests in the Company pursuant to Sections 5.3 and subject to Section 5.6, if applicable.

If a Member fails to contribute any capital to the Company that is required to be so contributed pursuant to Section 4.1, such Member shall be considered in default (a "Defaulting Member"), but shall remain fully obligated to contribute such capital to the Company. The Company shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity against the Defaulting Member, including any one or more of the following:

(a) the Company may take all actions, including court proceedings, as the other Members may deem appropriate, to obtain payment by the Defaulting Member of the required amount of the Capital Contribution remaining unpaid, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date that the required Capital Contribution was required to be contributed to the Company until the date it is so contributed, at the cost and expense of the Defaulting Member; and

(b) the non-defaulting Members may advance the portion of the Defaulting Member's Capital Contribution that is in default, in accordance with the non-defaulting Members' respective Percentage Interests, and, at the option of the non-defaulting Members, the non-defaulting Members making such advance may be deemed to have made a loan to the Defaulting Member in the amount of the Capital Contribution so advanced, which loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date that such advance is made until the loan is repaid in full, and until such loan is repaid in full, the non-defaulting Members making such loan to the Defaulting Member shall be entitled to receive all distributions of Available Cash that would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Member hereunder, in accordance with the non-defaulting Members' respective Percentage Interests.

A Member's Interest shall for all purposes be personal property. Title to the Company's assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, Manager, Operator or officer of the Company shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member, or the successor or assign of a Member, may demand a return of its Capital Contributions, in whole or in part. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member.

(b) No Member or Affiliate of any Member shall receive any interest, return, compensation or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be required to lend any funds or make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company. No Member shall have any personal liability for the repayment of any other Member's Capital Contribution or be required to contribute or lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to repay any Member's Capital Contributions.

(d) The Company and the Board will use commercially reasonable efforts to not initiate Capital Calls more frequently than once per calendar month; provided that the Members acknowledge that more frequent Capital Calls may be required in the case of events outside of the ordinary course of business, including in response to emergencies or similar situations.

(a) A separate Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The original Capital Account established for any Member who acquires an Interest by virtue of an assignment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be in the same amount as and shall replace the Capital Account of the assignor of such Interest. To the extent such Member acquires less than all of the Interest of the assignor of the Interest so acquired by such Member, the original Capital Account of such Member and its Capital Contributions shall be in proportion to the Interest it acquires, and the Capital Account of the assignor who retains an Interest shall be reduced in proportion to the Interest it retains.

(b) The Capital Account of each Member shall be maintained in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the Capital Account of any Member for any purpose hereunder, the Capital Account of such Member shall be determined after giving effect to all adjustments provided for in Section 4.5 for the current Fiscal Year in respect of transactions effected prior to the date such determination is to be made.

(b) No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Account, or to receive any distribution from the Company except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

The Company shall maintain an investment account (an "Investment Account") for each Member, the balance of which (the "Investment Balance") shall represent the sum of a Member's Initial Capital Contribution and any additional Capital Contributions made by a Member pursuant to Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(c) and 4.1(d). An assignee of all or any portion of an Interest shall succeed to a portion of the assignor Member's Investment Account in proportion to the Interest acquired.

(a) Except for the right to consent to or approve certain matters as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Members in their capacity as Members shall not have any other power or authority to manage the business or affairs of the Company or to bind the Company or enter into agreements on behalf of the Company.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other document executed in connection with this Agreement (a "Transaction Document") to the contrary, no Member in its capacity as a Member shall have any duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to the Company or any other Member in connection with the business and affairs of the Company or any consent or approval given or withheld pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c) Any matter requiring the consent or approval of the Members pursuant to this Agreement may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, by a consent in writing, setting forth such consent or approval, and signed by Members holding Interests not less than the requisite Interests necessary to consent to or approve such action; provided, that at least one Class A Member shall be required to sign such consent or approval in order for such consent to be effective in the event that the Class A Members did not receive prior written notice of the action to be so taken (which prior written notice may be given by electronic mail). Prompt notice of such consent or approval shall be given by the Company to those Members who have not joined in such consent or approval.

A Member may not take any action to resign, withdraw or retire as a Member voluntarily, and a Member may not be expelled or otherwise removed involuntarily as a Member, prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company, other than as a result of a Permitted Transfer of all of such Member's Interests in accordance with Article 7 and each of the transferees of such Interests being admitted as a Substitute Member.

(a) After the Board makes a Capital Call pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) or 4.1(d) that was not fully funded by the Members and subject to the preemptive rights set forth in Section 5.6 to the extent applicable, the Company is authorized to issue additional Interests and to admit any Person as an additional member of the Company (each, an "Additional Member" and collectively, the "Additional Members"). Upon receipt of requisite approval of the Board and the Members, the Company is authorized to issue additional Interests and to admit any Person as an additional member of the Company (each, an "Additional Member" and collectively, the "Additional Members"). Each such Person receiving additional Interests shall be admitted as an Additional Member at the time such Person (i) executes a counterpart signature page agreeing to be bound hereby and such other documents or instruments as may be required in the Board's reasonable judgment to effect the admission, and (ii) is designated as a Member (with a corresponding Percentage Interest) on an amended or supplemental Exhibit B. The Company may issue additional Interests or additional classes of membership interests to existing Members or to new or Additional Members in exchange for such Capital Contributions, including cash, property or services or any combination thereof.

(b) Additional Members shall not be entitled to any retroactive allocation of the Company's income, gains, losses, deductions, credits or other items; provided, that subject to the restrictions of Section 706(d) of the Code, Additional Members shall be entitled to their respective share of the Company's income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other items arising under contracts entered into before the effective date of the admission of any Additional Members to the extent that such

income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other items arise after such effective date. To the extent consistent with Section 706(d) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company's books may be closed at the time Additional Members are admitted (as though the Company's tax year had ended) or the Company may credit to the Additional Members pro rata allocations of the Company's income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and items for that portion of the Company's Fiscal Year after the effective date of the admission of the Additional Members.

(a) Each Member agrees that all Confidential Information shall be kept confidential by the Member, shall only be used for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the Company and the Member's Interest therein, and shall not be disclosed in any manner, except to such of the Member's Representatives who have a need to know and who agree to be, or are otherwise, bound by the Member's obligations hereunder and except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Section 5.4. Each Member shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.4 by itself or any of its Representatives, and each Member covenants and agrees that it shall promptly notify the Company of any actual, potential or threatened breach of this Section 5.4 and shall, at its own expense, enforce, and assist the Company in its enforcement of, the provisions of this Section 5.4, including, to the extent reasonably necessary, seeking specific enforcement through court proceedings. Subject to Section 5.4(b), if a Member or any of its Representatives is requested or required by applicable law, rule or regulation, regulatory authority, subpoena, civil investigation, court order, demand or similar legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, the Member shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, provide the Company with prompt written notice thereof and will use reasonable efforts to resist disclosure, until an appropriate protective order or motion to quash may be sought or a waiver of compliance with this Section may be granted. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Member or any of its Representatives is, in the opinion of its legal counsel, legally required to disclose Confidential Information, then such Member or its Representatives may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information legally required to be disclosed, without liability hereunder, provided that such Member or its Representatives uses reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company and the other Members may be irreparably harmed by disclosure of the Confidential Information, that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 5.4 by such Member or its Representatives and that, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, specific performance and injunctive or other equitable remedies shall be available to the Company and the Members as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, without the requirement of posting bond or other security. The Company and the other Members shall be entitled to recover their costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any successful action brought by them to enforce the terms of this Agreement. With respect to Confidential Information that is subject to confidentiality agreements under any third party confidentiality agreements, in addition to complying with the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, each Member covenants and agrees to, and shall cause its Representatives to, treat such Confidential Information confidentially in accordance with, and to comply with the terms of, the confidentiality provisions contained in those third party confidentiality agreements that have been disclosed and delivered to such Member, including, any provisions thereof that impose more stringent or additional obligations than those set forth herein (provided such has been disclosed and delivered to such Member). The obligations of a Member pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall continue following the time such Person ceases to be a Member, but thereafter such Person shall not have the right to enforce the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, all covenants made herein by a Member are for the sole benefit of the Company and the other Members and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of such covenants.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Member may disclose any information about the Company, including any Confidential Information, without any liability to the Company or to any other Member or to their respective Affiliates and without any notice to any Member, to the extent that such disclosing Member believes that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to satisfy its public disclosure obligations under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules of any stock exchange, or any similar public disclosure obligations.

By execution of this Agreement, the Members hereby approve and consent to the initial budget attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Initial Budget") and acknowledge and agree that such Initial Budget shall be deemed to be an Approved Budget for all purposes of this Agreement. The Members acknowledge that **.

(a) Subject to the Class A Member(s) or Class B Member(s) obligation or right to contribute additional capital as set forth in Section 4.1, prior to the Company issuing any Interests or options or rights to acquire Interests (other than (i) any equity issuance associated with an acquisition previously approved by EMG, (ii) Interests issued in connection with any split, distribution or recapitalization of the Company, (iii) Interests issued in any initial public offering registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or (iv) in connection with any capital raising or financing efforts by the Company the purpose of which is to fund any activities of the Company which were the subject of a Capital Call made pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) or 4.1(d) that was not fully funded by the Members; provided, however, that any Interests to be issued in such capital raising or financing efforts, and the pricing of such Interests, are equivalent to the terms of such Capital Call), whether through exchange, conversion or otherwise (the "New Interests"), to a proposed third party purchaser (the "Proposed Purchaser"), each Member who is not in default of this Agreement and which certifies to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act (an "Eligible Member") shall have the right to purchase a portion of the New Interests in accordance with this Section 5.6.

(b) The Company shall give each Eligible Member prior written notice (the "First Notice") of any proposed issuance of New Interests, which shall set forth in reasonable detail the proposed terms and conditions thereof (as determined by the Board in good faith) and shall offer to each Eligible Member the opportunity to purchase its Percentage Interest (as of the date of such notice) of the New Interests, on the same terms and conditions and at the same time as the New Interests are proposed to be issued by the Company. If any Eligible Member desires to exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 5.6, it must deliver an irrevocable written notice within 30 days after the Eligible Member's receipt of the First Notice (the "Election Period") setting forth the dollar amount of the New Interests the Eligible Member (the "Electing Member") is electing to purchase, up to its Percentage Interest plus any additional amount of New Interests it desires to purchase in excess of its Percentage Interest (the "Over-Allotment Amount") if other Eligible Members do not exercise their preemptive rights hereunder. The right of each Electing Member to purchase New Interests in excess of its Percentage Interest shall be based on the relative Percentage Interests of the Electing Members desiring to purchase Over-Allotment Amounts.

(c) If the Eligible Members do not subscribe for all of the New Interests, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell the unsubscribed portion of the New Interests to the Proposed Purchaser at any time during the 90 days following the end of the Election Period, at the same price and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the First Notice. The Board may, in its reasonable discretion, impose such other reasonable and customary terms and procedures such as setting a closing date and requiring customary closing deliveries in connection with any preemptive rights offering. In the event any Electing Member refuses to purchase the New Interests for which it

subscribed pursuant to this Section 5.6, then in addition to any other rights the Company may have at law or in equity, such Electing Member and any transferee thereof shall not be considered an Eligible Member for any future rights granted under this Section 5.6 unless the Board expressly designates otherwise (which the Board may, in its sole discretion, do on an offer-by-offer basis or not at all) and shall be deemed a Defaulting Member under Section 4.2.

If the Board with Requisite Member Approval determines to effect a Qualified Public Offering, each of the Members shall be granted customary registration rights, including piggyback registration rights, with respect to such Qualified Public Offering.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the approval of the Board shall be required for all matters not delegated by the Board to the Operator, the officers of the Company or to other authorized persons in accordance with Section 6.10, including approval of the following matters, which the Board shall not have the power to delegate to any Person, in each case except as otherwise approved in any Approved Budget:

The initial Managers of the Company shall be: John T. Raymond and Jeffrey C. Rawls, who are the Class A Managers, and John Mollenkopf, Randy Nickerson and Frank Semple, who are the Class B Managers.

(b) On and after the First Equalization Date, each Affiliated Member Group shall be entitled to designate the number of Managers determined by their Percentage Interests as follows:

Any Manager designated in accordance with this section shall be immediately removed from the Board at any time that the Affiliated Member Group that designated such Manager ceases to own aggregate Percentage Interests that would permit such Affiliated Member Group to designate such Manager in accordance with the first sentence of this section.

Unless authorized to do so by this Agreement or by the Board, no Member of the Company shall have any power or authority to bind the Company in any way, to pledge the Company's credit or to render it liable pecuniarily for any purpose. However, a Person may act by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact executed in writing by the Board.

No Manager or officer of the Company (solely in such individual's capacity as a Manager or officer of the Company), nor any of their Affiliates or their respective successors or assigns, shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any claims, losses, expenses, costs, obligations, liabilities,

actions, suits, proceedings, judgments, or settlements (including attorneys' fees) (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) (collectively, "Claims") arising or resulting from or relating to the performance of any of such Manager's or officer's obligations or duties under this Agreement in its capacity as Manager or officer, or otherwise attributable to any breach of duty owed by such Manager or officer (by virtue of being a Manager or officer) to the Company or the Members, except to the extent such Claims or breach of duty is based upon such person's fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct as established by a non-appealable court order, judgment, decree or decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the doing of any act or the failure to do any act by any Manager or officer, which shall not constitute fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct (as established by a non-appealable court order, judgment, decree or decision by a court of competent jurisdiction), the effect of which may cause or result in loss or damage to the Company, shall not subject any Manager or officer to any liability. Each Manager and officer shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters such Manager or officer reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid. The Managers do not, in any way, guarantee the return of the Members' Capital Contributions or a profit for the Members from the operations of the Company. No Manager shall be responsible to any Members because of a loss of their investments or a loss in operations, unless the loss shall have been the result of fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct established as set forth in this Section 6.5.

A Manager shall not be required to manage the Company as the Manager's sole and exclusive occupation, and a Manager may have other business interests and may engage in other investments, occupations and activities in addition to those relating to the Company. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, to share or participate in such other investments or activities of a Manager or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom.

A Manager of the Company may resign from the position of Manager at any time by giving written notice to the Members of the Company. The resignation of a Manager shall take effect upon receipt of notice thereof or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice; and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Upon the withdrawal of a Manager, such Manager shall be treated as having resigned as of the date of withdrawal and shall automatically cease to be a Manager as of the date of such withdrawal. Except in the case of resignation by reason of withdrawal, the resignation of a Manager who is also a Member pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall not affect such Manager's rights as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of such Member.

Subject to Section 6.2(b), a Manager may only be removed by the consent of the Member or Members then entitled to designate such Manager in accordance with Section 6.2. The removal of a Manager who is also a Member shall not affect such Manager's rights as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of such Member.

Any vacancy in the position of a Manager that is created by the withdrawal, death, resignation or removal of a Manager or by the creation of a new Manager position pursuant to Section 6.2(b) shall be filled only by consent of the Member or Members then entitled to designate such Manager in accordance with Section 6.2. A Manager elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until a successor shall be elected and shall qualify, or until the Manager's earlier death, resignation, withdrawal or removal.

The Board shall have the power to elect, delegate authority to, and remove such officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Company as the Board may from time to time deem appropriate.

Prior to ** (the "Project Period"), no Member may, directly or indirectly, Transfer its Interest or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of the other Members except for Permitted Transfers. For purposes of this Agreement, "Permitted Transfers" shall include the following: (a) a Member may Transfer all or a portion of its Interest to any of its Affiliates, (b) Interests held by any member of the MWE Operating Company Group may be (i) Transferred, in whole or in part, in connection with any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of MWE, or (ii) indirectly Transferred by way of a sale of Control of MWE, or any merger of MWE with or into, or any consolidation of MWE into, any other entity and (c) Interests held by EMG may be transferred to the limited partners of EMG, if and to the extent required by the governance documents of EMG. In the event of a Transfer pursuant to the foregoing clause (c), the EMG Group shall designate a single representative to exercise all of the EMG Group's rights hereunder. If a Member Transfers an Interest during the Project Period in accordance with this Section 7.1, such Transfer shall entitle the assignee to become a Substitute Member and to exercise or receive the rights, powers or benefits of a Member if the assigning Member designates, in a written instrument delivered to the Board and the other Members, its assignee to become a Substitute Member and such assignee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Board, which shall include an acceptance and agreement by the Substitute Member to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. A Member may not Transfer Interests in a Permitted Transfer if such Permitted Transfer has as a purpose the avoidance of the restrictions on

Transfers in this Agreement (it being understood that the purpose of this sentence is to prohibit the Transfer of Interests to a transferee in a Permitted Transfer followed by a change in the relationship between the transferor and the transferee (or a change of Control of such transferor or transferee) after the Permitted Transfer with the result and effect that the transferor has indirectly Transferred Interests to a transferee in a Transfer which would not have been directly permitted as a Permitted Transfer under this Section 7.1 had such change in such relationship occurred prior to such Transfer).

After the Project Period, a Member may Transfer its Interest, or any portion thereof, without the consent of any other Member or the Board, provided, that such Member complies with the requirements of this Section 7.2 in all instances except in connection with Permitted Transfers:

(a) In the event that a Member (the "Transferring Member") desires to Transfer, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of its Interest (the "ROFO Interest") and such Transfer is not a Permitted Transfer, then the Transferring Member shall give written notice thereof to the other Members (the "Remaining Members"). For a period of 30 days thereafter, all or a portion of the Remaining Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to submit a written offer to purchase the ROFO Interest (with each offering Remaining Member to purchase its pro rata portion of the ROFO Interest as is determined in accordance with the respective Percentage Interests of the Remaining Members, or such other portion as the Remaining Members may mutually agree upon) (the "ROFO Offer"), on such terms and conditions as the offering Remaining Members may determine and which terms and conditions shall be described in the ROFO Offer. Upon receipt of the ROFO Offer, the Transferring Member may elect in its sole discretion to accept or reject the ROFO Offer.

(b) Except for any Transfer to another Member and except for Permitted Transfers, each Class B Member hereby agrees, whether in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, not to Transfer for value, all or any portion of its Interest, directly or indirectly, without first complying with Section 7.2(a) and then permitting each of the Remaining Members (the "Tag-Along Members") to participate as sellers in such transaction (the "Tag-Along Rights"), such that each Tag-Along Member shall be entitled to sell, on the same terms as the Class B Member proposing to sell its Interest (the "Class B Seller"), a portion of such Tag-Along Member's Interest, determined by multiplying the Interest that the purchaser is willing to acquire by the Percentage Interest of each such Tag-Along Member desiring to participate.

(c) The consideration or value allocated to the Members under this Section 7.2 shall be allocated among the Transferring Member and other Members (whether Tag-Along Members or otherwise) in accordance with their respective rights to distributions from the Company as if the Company had been liquidated pursuant to Section 13.4 and the Company had sold all of its Property for an appraised value using the implied valuation of such Property that may be derived from the sales process described in Section 7.2, and, except for such consideration, no Member will receive any payments of any nature whatsoever from the transferee in connection with or arising from such sale transaction.

No Transfer of an Interest that is in violation of this Article 7 shall be valid or effective, and neither the Company nor the Board nor any Member shall recognize the same for any purpose of this Agreement, including the purpose of making distributions of Available Cash pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Interest or part thereof. Neither the Company nor the Board shall incur any liability as a result of refusing to make any such distributions to the assignee of any such invalid assignment.

Any valid Transfer of a Member's Interest, or part thereof, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 shall be effective as of the later of (i) the date of Transfer set forth on the written instrument of Transfer, (ii) the date on which the Company has received the written instrument of Transfer and such other documents as may be required by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and such Transfer has been recorded on the books of the Company, and (iii) the date on which the requirements of this Article 7 have been satisfied. The Company shall, from the effective date of such Transfer, thereafter pay all further distributions on account of the Interest (or part thereof) so assigned to the assignee of such Interest, or part thereof. As between any Member and its assignee, Profits and Losses for the Fiscal Year of the Company in which such assignment occurs shall be apportioned for federal income tax purposes in accordance with any convention permitted under Section 706(d) of the Code and selected by the Board.

No Transfer of an Interest may be effectuated unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Board, the Transfer (a) would comply with the Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction; (b) would not cause the Company to be terminated for purposes of Code Section 708; or (c) would not violate any other applicable laws, provided, that the provisions of this Section 7.5 may be waived by the Board.

In the event that a transferee is not designated, or does not become, a Substitute Member pursuant to this Article 7, then such transferee shall not be entitled to exercise or receive any of the rights, powers or benefits of a Member other than the right to receive distributions to which the assigning Member would be entitled.

Available Cash shall be determined by the Board on a quarterly basis within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article 8 and any preferential or disproportionate distributions to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement, and other than upon a liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 13.4, the Company shall distribute such Available Cash to the Members of record, as follows.

(a) Within 60 days following the end of each calendar quarter prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the Trigger Date and (ii) the First Equalization Date, Available Cash shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(b) With respect to the calendar quarter during which the Trigger Date or the First Equalization Date occurs, within 60 days following the end of such calendar quarter, Available Cash shall be distributed to the Members based on the quotient (expressed as a percentage) obtained by dividing the weighted average Investment Balance of such Member by the weighted average Investment Balances of all Members during such period.

(c) Within 60 days following the end of each calendar quarter after the earlier to occur of (i) the Trigger Date and (ii) the First Equalization Date, Available Cash shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any foreign, state or local tax law or treaty with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Article 8 for all purposes of this Agreement. The Board is authorized to withhold from distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to any federal, foreign, state or local government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other federal, foreign, state or local law or treaty and shall allocate such amounts to those Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld.

Except as provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to any distribution of cash or other property from the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its Interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

(a) Each Member shall be entitled to receive, on the date which is two Business Days prior to each date on which estimated income tax payments are required to be made by an individual calendar year taxpayer and each due date for the income tax return of an individual calendar year taxpayer (each a "Tax Distribution Date"), cumulative cash distributions in an amount equal to such Member's Assumed Tax Liability, if any. The "Assumed Tax Liability" of each Member means an amount equal to (i) the cumulative amount of federal income taxes (including any applicable estimated taxes), determined taking into account the character of income and loss allocated to such Member as it affects the applicable tax rate, that the Board estimates would be due from such Member as of such Tax Distribution Date, assuming such Member were an individual that earned solely the items of income, gain, deduction, loss and/or credit allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 9.4 (after reflecting any adjustments thereto by reason of Code Sections 732(d), 734, or 743), reduced by (ii) all previous distributions made to such Member pursuant to this Article 8.

(b) Distributions under this Section shall be treated as an advance distribution under and shall offset future distributions that such Member would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 8.1 or, if not previously offset, Section 13.4.

(c) If on a Tax Distribution Date there are not sufficient funds on hand to distribute to each Member the full amount of such Member's Assumed Tax Liability, distributions pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be made to the Members to the extent of the available funds in proportion to each Member's Assumed Tax Liability.

After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 9.2, 9.3 and 13.4(b), all Profits and Losses from operations for each Fiscal Year (or part thereof) shall be allocated to the Class A Members and the Class B Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests; provided, that no Losses shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such Losses would result in a Member having an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. To the extent Losses allocated to a Member would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, the Losses will be reallocated to other Members. If any Member receives an allocation of Losses otherwise allocable to another Member in accordance with this Section 9.1(a), such Member shall be allocated Profits in subsequent Fiscal Years necessary to reverse the effect of such allocation of Losses. Such allocation of Profits (if any) shall be made before any other Profit allocations under this Section 9.1(a).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following special allocations shall be made:

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be allocated 100% to the Member that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss. This Section 9.2(b) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), (g)(2) and (j)(2)(i). For purposes of this Section 9.2, each Member's Capital Account shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Article 9 with respect to such taxable year. This Section 9.2(c) is intended to comply with the partner minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement (other than Section 9.2(c) above), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any taxable year, any Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable year shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2)(ii). For purposes of this Section 9.2, each Member's Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Article 9, other than Section 9.2(c) above, with respect to such taxable year. This Section 9.2(d) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) Qualified Income Offset. Except as provided in Sections 9.2(c) and 9.2(d) above, in the event any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustment, allocation or distribution as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Sections 9.2(c) or 9.2(d). This Section 9.2(e) is intended to constitute a qualified income offset described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(f) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any taxable year, such Member shall be allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided in this Section 9.2 (other than Section 9.2(e)) have been tentatively made as if Section 9.2(e) and this Section 9.2(f) were not in this Agreement.

The allocations set forth in Section 9.2 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with

special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 9.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), but subject to the Code and the Treasury Regulations, the Board shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement. In exercising its discretion under this Section 9.3, the Board shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 9.4, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 13.4(b).

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value at the time of its contribution to the Company. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted in accordance with clause (c) or (d) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, then subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value as provided in Code Section 704(c) and the related Treasury Regulations. For purposes of such allocations, the Company shall elect the remedial allocation method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).

(c) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof and basis allocations recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company.

(d) If any deductions for depreciation or cost recovery are recaptured as ordinary income upon the Transfer of Company properties, the ordinary income character of the gain from such Transfer shall be allocated among the Members in the same ratio as the deductions giving rise to such ordinary character were allocated.

(a) In the event Members are admitted to the Company pursuant to this Agreement on different dates, the Profits (or Losses) allocated to the Members for each Fiscal Year during which Members are so admitted shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests during such Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706 of the Code, using any convention permitted by law and selected by the Board that takes into account the varying interests of the Members during such Fiscal Year.

(b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Board using any method that is permissible under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 9 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 9 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(d) Allocations made by the Board under Section 9.2 in reliance upon the advice of the Company's accountants shall be deemed to be made pursuant to any fiduciary obligation to the Company and the Members.

(e) If any Member makes a loan to the Company, or the Company makes a loan to any Member, and interest in excess of the amount actually payable is imputed under Code Sections 7872, 483, or 1271 through 1288 or corresponding provisions of subsequent federal income tax law, then any item of income or expense attributable to any such imputed interest shall be allocated solely to the Member who made or received the loan and shall be credited or charged to its Capital Account, as appropriate.

The Company shall have obligations to the Members as set forth in this Article 10 respecting books, records and financial statements of the Company.

At all times during the continuance of the Company, the Company shall maintain at its principal place of business all records and materials the Company is required to maintain at such location under the Act. The Company shall keep proper and complete books of account adequate for its purposes. The books of account relating to the Company shall be open to inspection and copying by any of the Members or by their authorized representatives upon reasonable notice and at any reasonable time during business hours, at the Member's expense; provided, however, that the Members acknowledge and agree that, to the extent that the books of account include information relating to one or more Affiliates of the Operator (other than the Company) or any Out of Scope Projects or Exempted Projects (the "Unrelated Information"), then the Company and Operator shall be entitled either to redact, or limit access to, the books of account such that the Members shall not have access to Unrelated Information or to require such Member to designate an independent third party auditor to conduct such review, which auditor will be required to execute a confidentiality agreement with the Operator under which such auditor may examine the Unrelated Information but may not disclose the Unrelated Information to such Member.

The Operator shall prepare, on behalf of the Company and at the Company's expense, and shall submit to the Members the following statements, reports and notices:

(a) Annual financial statements of the Company, consisting of a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows, as of the end of and for the prior Fiscal Year, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and audited by the Operator's independent certified public accountants, which shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm (the "Annual Financial Statements"). The Annual Financial Statements shall be delivered to each Member within 75 days after the end of each Fiscal Year;

(b) Unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Company, consisting of a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows, as of the end of and for the prior calendar quarter, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP except for normal year end adjustments and the absence of footnotes (the "Quarterly Financial Statements"). The Quarterly Financial Statements shall be delivered within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter;

(c) Monthly financial and business reports, which shall consist of a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows, as of the end of and for the prior calendar month, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP except for normal year end adjustments and the absence of footnotes (the "Monthly Reports"). The Monthly Reports shall be delivered within 30 days after the end of each calendar month;

(d) Copies of the Approved Budget in effect from time to time, within 30 days after the approval thereof in accordance with Section 6.16;

(e) Such other information as a Member may reasonably request to satisfy such Member's or its Affiliates' public disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act, the rules of any stock exchange, or any similar public disclosure obligations; provided, that public disclosure of any such information shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.4.

For both financial and tax reporting purposes and for purposes of determining Profits and Losses, the books and records of the Company shall be kept on such method of accounting as determined by the Board and shall reflect all Company transactions and be appropriate and adequate for the Company's business.

The Board shall establish one or more bank accounts in the name of the Company into which all Company funds shall be deposited. No other funds shall be deposited into these accounts.

It is the intent of the Members that the Company shall be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Neither the Company nor any Member shall make an election for the Company to be excluded from the application of the provisions of subchapter K of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code or any similar provisions of applicable state law or to be classified as other than a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3.

The Company shall cause the Operator to prepare, at the expense of the Company, for each Fiscal Year (or part thereof), federal tax returns in compliance with the provisions of the Code and any required state and local tax returns. Each Member shall furnish to the Company all pertinent information in its possession relating to the Company's operations that is necessary to enable the Company's tax returns to be timely prepared and filed. Not less than 60 days prior to the due date (as extended) of the Company's federal income tax return or any state income tax return, the return proposed by the Board to be filed by the Company shall be furnished to the Members for review. In addition, not more than 10 days after the date on which the Company files its federal income tax return or any state income tax return, a copy of the return so filed shall be furnished to the Members.

The Company, at its expense, shall cause to be delivered to each Member within 60 calendar days after the end of the Company's taxable year an IRS Form K-1 or a good faith estimate of the amounts to be included on such IRS Form K-1 for such Member and such other information as shall be necessary (including a statement for that year of each Member's share of net income, net losses and other items allocated to such Member) for the preparation and timely filing by the Members of their federal, state and local income and other tax returns.

(a) The "tax matters partner" of the Company for purposes of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code shall be MWE Operating Company, so long as MWE Operating Company or one of its Affiliates is a Member, and shall have the power to manage and control, on behalf of the Company, any administrative proceeding at the Company level with the Internal Revenue Service relating to the determination of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for federal income tax purposes. Any Member who is designated as the tax matters partner shall be referred to herein as the "Tax Matters Member."

(b) The Tax Matters Member shall keep the Members informed as to the status of any audit of the Company's tax affairs, and shall take such action as may be necessary to cause any Member so requesting to become a "notice partner" within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code. Without first obtaining the approval of the Board and Requisite Member Approval, the Tax Matters Member shall not, with respect to Company tax matters: (i) enter into a settlement agreement with respect to any tax matter which purports to bind Members, (ii) intervene in any action pursuant to Code Section 6226(b)(6), (iii) enter into an agreement extending the period of limitations for making assessments on behalf of Members, or (iv) file a petition pursuant to Code Section 6226(a) or 6228. If an audit of any of the Company's tax returns shall occur, the Tax Matters Member shall not settle or otherwise compromise assertions of the auditing agent which may be adverse to any Member as compared to the position taken on the Company's tax returns without the prior written consent of each such affected Member.

(c) No Member shall file a request pursuant to Code Section 6227 for an administrative adjustment of Company items for any taxable year, or a petition under Code Sections 6226 or 6228 or other Code sections with respect to any item involving the Company, without first notifying other Members.

The Board, in its sole discretion, may make or revoke, on behalf of the Company, an election in accordance with Section 754 of the Code, so as to adjust the basis of Company property in the case of a distribution of property within the meaning of Section 734 of the Code, and in the case of a transfer of Interests within the meaning of Section 743 of the Code.

The Company shall have the right to make any U.S. federal income tax elections it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Members.

If Texas law requires the Company and any Member both to participate in the filing of a Texas margin tax combined group report, and if such Member pays the margin tax liability due in connection with such combined report, the parties agree that the Company shall promptly reimburse such Member for the margin tax paid on behalf of the Company as a combined group member. The margin tax paid on behalf of the Company shall be equal to the margin tax that the Company would have paid if it had computed its margin tax liability for the report period on a separate entity basis rather than as a member of the combined group. In such event, the parties agree that such Member shall be considered as paying such amount on behalf of the Company and the Company shall deduct for federal income tax purposes 100% of the Texas margin tax attributable to the Company; provided, that in the event that such deduction may not be properly taken by the Company, the Company shall reimburse such Member for the after-tax cost of such payment of Texas margin tax paid on the Company's behalf.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by the Act, 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 no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Covered Person.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly required by law, a Member, in its capacity as Member, shall have no liability in excess of (i) the amount of its Capital Contributions; (ii) its share of any assets and undistributed profits of the Company; (iii) its obligation to make other payments expressly provided for in this Agreement; and (iv) the amount of any distributions wrongfully distributed to it.

(a) No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person's fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct as established by a non-appealable court order, judgment, decree or decision.

(b) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits, Losses or Available Cash or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against all Claims arising from or related to any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Claim by reason of such Covered Person's fraud, bad faith, or willful misconduct as established by a non-appealable court order, judgment, decree or decision. Any indemnity under this Section 12.3 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only (including the proceeds of any insurance policy obtained pursuant to Section 12.5), and no Covered Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 12.3 or any provision in this Section 12.3 shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the rights of any Covered Person under this Section 12.3 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to

repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 12.3.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the Board shall, in its sole discretion, deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Board shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Board and the Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Board shall determine and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 12.4 and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

Each Member agrees to be liable for the Capital Contributions required to be made by such Member, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event a Member becomes liable for any liabilities of the Company, the Members shall bear such liability in proportion to their then existing Percentage Interests.

Each Member (each Member in such capacity, an "Indemnitor") shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless each other Member (an "Indemnitee") from any and all Claims that shall or may arise by virtue of any act or thing done or omitted to be done by the Indemnitor (directly or through agents or employees) outside the scope of, or in breach of, the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall be properly notified of the existence of the Claim, and shall be given reasonable opportunity to cure any act or omission causing liability, and participate in the defense thereof. The Indemnitee's failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnitor's obligations hereunder, except to the extent of any actual prejudice arising therefrom.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be liable to any other Member or to the Company by reason of such Member's actions in connection with the Company, except in the event of a violation of any provision of this Agreement, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct.

All of the indemnities provided in this Agreement shall include reasonable attorneys' fees, including appellate attorneys' fees and court costs.

The interests of the Members in any proceeds of the Company by way of repayment of loans, return of any Capital Contributions, or any distributions from the Company, shall be subordinated to the right of Members to the indemnities provided by this Article 12.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all of the indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement shall survive a Member's ceasing to be a Member hereunder.

The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substitute Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or the withdrawal of a Member.

The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(d) the sale, exchange or disposition of all, or substantially all, of the Company's assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions.

Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Board shall promptly notify the Members of such dissolution.

(a) Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board (in such capacity, the "Liquidating Trustee") shall carry out the winding up of the Company and shall immediately commence to wind up the Company's affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation. The proceeds of liquidation shall be applied first to payment of all expenses and debts of the Company and setting up of such reserves as the Board reasonably deems necessary to wind up the Company's affairs and to provide for any contingent liabilities or obligations of the Company; provided, that the unpaid principal of and interest on any loans made to the Company by Members (and their Affiliates) shall be distributed pro rata to the Members (and their Affiliates) who made such loans, in proportion to the total amount of principal and interest payable on such loans, such distributions being treated first as a payment of accrued interest on such loans and next as in payment of principal on such loans. Any remaining proceeds shall be distributed as follows:

(b) In the event of any liquidation and winding up of the Company under Section 13.4 or a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, Profits and Losses and each item of gross income, gain, loss and deduction for such period shall be allocated to the Members so that, to the maximum extent possible, each Member's Capital Account balance equals the amount of cash distributed to each such Member pursuant to Sections 13.4(a)(i) and (ii) (referred to as "Liquidation Amounts"), and no other allocation of Profit or Loss pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation. If in the year of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Members' Capital Accounts are not equal to their respective Liquidation Amounts after the application of the preceding sentence, then to the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, items of gross income and gain for any preceding taxable period(s) with respect to which IRS Form 1065 Schedules K-1 have not been filed by the Company shall be reallocated among the Members until the Members' Capital Accounts are equal to their respective Liquidation Amounts, and no other allocation of Profit or Loss pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation.

The Company shall terminate when all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for in this Article 13 and the Certificate shall have been canceled, or such other documents required under the Act to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware have been so executed and filed, in the manner required by the Act.

The Members and former Members shall look solely to the Company's assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of a Member under applicable law. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the time of the Company's dissolution, it shall not be required to restore such account to a positive balance or otherwise make any payments to the Company or its creditors or other third parties in respect of such deficiency.

If any assets of the Company shall be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed to the Member(s) entitled thereto as tenants-in-common in the same proportions as such Member(s) would have been entitled to cash distributions if (i) such assets had been sold for cash by the Company at the fair market value of such property (taking the Gross Asset Value definition herein and Code Section 7701(g) into account) on the date of distribution; (ii) any unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) that would be realized by the Company from such sale were allocated among the Member(s) as Profits or Losses in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) the cash proceeds were distributed to the Member(s) in accordance with this Article 13. The Capital Accounts of the Member(s) shall be increased by the amount of any unrealized income or gain inherent in such property or decreased by the amount of any loss or deduction inherent in such property that would be allocable to them, and shall be reduced by the fair market value of the assets distributed to them under the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Members shall have the right to assign their interest to such in-kind distribution to any Person.

Each Member hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:

(a) The Member understands that the purpose of the Company is to engage in the Primary Business. The Member has read and is familiar with, and has been given full and complete access to, information, financial or otherwise, regarding the Company and has utilized such access to the Member's satisfaction and has obtained any other relevant information the Member has sought. 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.

(b) The Member has read this Agreement and understands that the Interests being acquired by the Member will be governed hereby. The Member agrees to be bound, in all respects, by the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Member has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and investments in particular, to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Interests. The Member is able to bear the economic risk of this investment, including a total loss of the investment. The Member has adequate means of providing for its currents needs and personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the investment in the Company and has no reason to anticipate any circumstances, financial or otherwise, which might cause or require any sale or distribution of the Interests. The Member's overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Member's net worth and the investment in the Company will not cause the Member's overall commitment in such investments to become excessive. The Member can lose its entire investment in the Interests without producing a material adverse change in the Member's net worth.

(d) It is the Member's intention to acquire the Interest for its own account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for, resale in connection with any distribution thereof. The Member understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the Interests or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment. The Member understands and acknowledges that the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or under state securities laws and that the sale of the Interests is being made pursuant to exemptions from registration that may depend upon the Member's investment intention. The Member also understands and acknowledges that the Interests may not be transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available thereunder and under applicable state securities laws and established to the Company's satisfaction. In addition, the Member acknowledges that the Interests are subject to additional restrictions on transferability in this Agreement that will make it difficult to Transfer or liquidate this investment. The Member acknowledges that the Company will rely on these representations and that the Company is not required to recognize any Transfer of an Interest if, in the opinion of counsel, such Transfer would result in a violation of any federal or state law, rule or regulation, regarding the offering or sale of securities. The Member further understands that any certificates representing the Interests may contain legends restricting the Transfer of the Interests.

(e) The Member is fully authorized and qualified to become a Member of the Company and is authorized to make the initial Capital Contribution to the Company, and the person executing this Agreement on the Member's behalf has been duly authorized to do so.

(f) The Member understands and acknowledges that (i) the Company may need to raise additional capital from time to time in order to engage in the Primary Business and achieve any other objectives and goals that may be established for the Company by the Board, (ii) the Company may raise additional capital by selling Interests to one or more Members or other Persons, (iii) the Member

has no right to participate in any future offering, or to buy any additional Interests that may be issued, by the Company except to the extent set forth herein, and (iv) the Member's Percentage Interest in the Company may be diluted as a result of any such sale of additional Interests in the Company.

(g) The Member will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Managers, officers, Members and Affiliates, and any other Person who controls or is controlled by any of them, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty or any breach by the Member of any term or condition contained in this Article 14.

(h) All of the information provided to the Company by the Member and all of the Member's representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement. The Member's representations, warranties and covenants shall survive the delivery of the Member's Capital Contribution.

All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing, duly signed by the party giving such notice, and shall be delivered, telecopied, mailed by registered or certified mail, sent by recognized overnight delivery or courier service (e.g., Federal Express) or, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, sent via electronic mail, and shall be deemed to have been given (a) upon delivery, if delivered personally, or if delivered by facsimile, upon confirmation of delivery, (b) when notice is sent to the recipient provided that confirmation of receipt is obtained by sender orally, by facsimile or by electronic mail, if sent by electronic mail (unless otherwise provided in this Agreement), (c) three days after mailing, if mailed, or (d) one Business Day after delivery to the courier, if delivered by overnight courier service, as follows:

The failure of any party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original violation.

The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and assigns.

Throughout this Agreement, nouns, pronouns and verbs shall be construed as masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, whichever shall be applicable. All references herein to "Articles," "Sections" and "Paragraphs" shall refer to corresponding provisions of this Agreement.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

This Agreement (including any Exhibit or Schedule hereto) and the Certificate may be amended, modified or supplemented, and any provisions of this Agreement or the Certificate be waived, with a written instrument adopted, executed and agreed to by the Company and the Class B Members with an aggregate Class B Percentage Interest equal to or exceeding 50%; provided, however, that (a) this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended from time to time without further consent of any party to reflect issuances and transfers of Interests made in compliance with this Agreement and (b) any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to this Agreement or the Certificate that would adversely affect the rights, or increase the obligations, of any Member in any material respect shall not be effective without the consent of such affected Member. Except as required by law, no amendment, modification, supplement, discharge or waiver of or under this Agreement shall require the consent of any Person not a party to this Agreement.

This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights and remedies shall be governed by such laws without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any document relating hereto may be brought only in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in Houston, Texas. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non-convenience, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of such action or proceeding in any such respective jurisdiction.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, each party hereto agrees to act in good faith with respect to the other party in exercising its rights and discharging its obligations under this Agreement. Each party further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the purposes of this Agreement are realized and to take all steps as are reasonable in order to implement the operational provisions of this Agreement.

Each Member agrees that it shall have no right to partition the Property, or any portion thereof, and each Member agrees that it shall not make application to any court or authority having jurisdiction in the matter to commence or prosecute any action or proceeding for partition of the Property, or any portion thereof. Upon the breach of this Section by any Member, the other Members, in addition to all other rights and remedies in law and equity, shall be entitled to a decree or order dismissing application, action or proceeding.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in their being deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Members (and each Affiliate and Person acting on behalf of any Member) agree that each Member (and each employee, representative, and other agent of such Member) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the transaction's tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections 6011 and 6112 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) provided to such Member or such Person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance of its obligations hereunder is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligation of such Person hereunder. Failure of a Person to assert the default or breach of any other Person hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
