AUTHORIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

3.1 Units Generally. The Membership Interests of the Members shall be represented by issued and outstanding Units. The Units shall be divided into one class of Preferred Units and one class of Common Units, having such terms described in this Agreement. The Members shall have no interest in the Company other than the Membership Interests conferred by this Agreement and represented by the Units.

All certificates for each type and class of Units shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The names of the Members to whom the Units are issued, with the number and class of Units and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the Company.

4.5 Capital Account Adjustments in Connection with Contributions and Distributions. Upon the contribution of money or other property (other than a de minimis amount) to the Company by an existing Member or by a newly admitted Member after the original capital contributions, or

upon the distribution of money or other property (other than a de minimis amount) to a Member, or upon any transfer of any Units by a Member, the book value of the assets of the Company may, if the Managers determine to do so, be adjusted to fair market value, and the capital account of each Member shall then be adjusted accordingly. Such adjustments may be made only if it is determined that they are in accordance with sound financial accounting principles. No such capital account adjustments shall be made if such adjustment would be impermissible under the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code.

4.6 Capital Account Adjustments Upon Distributions of Property in Kind. The Company shall determine the fair market value of any Company asset distributed in kind, and shall credit or charge to the capital account of each Member the Net Income or Net Loss that would have been credited or charged to such Member if that asset had been sold at its fair market value as of the date of distribution. Any such Net Income or Net Loss that would have been recognized by the Company from such a deemed sale shall be allocated among the Members as provided for in Article IV, and the distribution shall be treated as though the Company had distributed cash equal to the fair market value of the assets so distributed in kind.

5.2 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.3 and the Regulatory Allocations in Section 5.4, Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated to the Members as follows:

(i) Prior to the occurrence of the Preferred Cash Return Payout, all Net Income shall be allocated to the holders of the Preferred Units in accordance with their relative Preferred Percentage Interests; and

(ii) Upon and after the occurrence of the Preferred Cash Return Payout, all Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

5.3 Allocation of Company Tax Credits. Until the occurrence of the Preferred Credit Return Payout, all Company Tax Credits shall be allocated to the Preferred Members in proportion to their respective Preferred Percentage Interests. After the Preferred Credit Return Payout occurs, the Company Tax Credits shall be allocated to the Common Members in accordance with their Common Percentage Interest.

5.4 Regulatory Allocations.

5.4.1 Qualified Income Offset. No Member shall be allocated Net Loss or deductions if the allocation causes a Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. If a Member receives (i) an allocation of Net Loss or deduction (or item thereof), or (ii) any distribution which causes the Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year, then all items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) for that taxable year shall be allocated to that Member before any other allocation is made of Company items for that taxable year, in the amount and in proportions required to eliminate the excess as quickly as possible. This Section 5.4.1 is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the “qualified income offset” provisions of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b).

5.4.2 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as set forth in Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), and (4), if, during any taxable year, there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain, each Member, prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Article IV, shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease of Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain. Allocations of gross income and gain pursuant to this Section 5.4.2 shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 752), to the extent of the Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain for the taxable year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation pursuant to this Section 5.4.2 shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704- 2(i)(4).

5.4.3 Contributed Property and Book-Ups. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, as well as Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3), income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed 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 the property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the date of contribution (or deemed contribution). If the adjusted book value of any Company asset is adjusted as provided herein, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its adjusted book value in the manner required under Code Section 704(c) using the “traditional method” described in the Regulations thereunder.

5.4.4 Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining capital accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the capital accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and the gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that Section of the Regulations.

5.4.5 Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for a taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

5.4.6 Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction for any taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the risk of loss with respect to the loan to which the Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction is attributable in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(b).

5.4.7 Guaranteed Payments. To the extent any compensation paid to any Member by the Company, including any fees payable to any Member for services provided to the Company, is determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c) or is not paid to the Member other than in the Person’s capacity as a Member within the meaning of Code Section 707(a), the Member shall be specially allocated gross income of the Company in an amount equal to the amount of that compensation, and the Member’s capital account shall be adjusted to reflect the payment of that compensation.

5.4.8 Unrealized Receivables. If a Member’s Percentage Interest is reduced (provided the reduction does not result in a complete termination of the Member’s Percentage Interest), the Member’s share of the Company’s “unrealized receivables” and “substantially appreciated inventory” (within the meaning of Code Section 751) shall not be reduced, so that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, that portion of the Net Income otherwise allocable upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof which is taxable as ordinary income (recaptured) for federal income tax purposes shall, to the extent possible without increasing the total gain to the Company or to any Member, be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to the deductions (or basis reductions treated as deductions) giving rise to such recapture. Any questions as to the aforesaid allocation of ordinary income (recapture), to the extent such

questions cannot be resolved in the manner specified above, shall be resolved by the Managers.

5.4.9 Withholding. All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Code Section 1446 or any other provision of federal, state, or local tax law shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Members for all purposes under this Agreement.

5.4.10 Allocation of Tax Items. Except as otherwise provided herein, each item of Net Income or Net Loss recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner and proportion as each correlative item of Net Income or Net Loss is allocated pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV.

5.5 Liquidation and Dissolution. If the Company is liquidated, the assets of the Company shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.5 below.

5.6 Allocations in Connection with Shifts in Percentage Interests. In the event of a shift in the Percentage Interests of any Member for any reason, the allocations for that taxable year will be made by the Managers in their discretion to take into account the varying Percentage Interests of the Members for that year in whatever reasonable and consistently applied method the Managers choose in accordance with applicable Regulations.

5.7 Functional Allocations. In the event and to the extent that any Member is charged with any expenditure incurred by the Company other than in accordance with that Member’s Percentage Interest, then that Member shall be allocated any expense or loss arising out of that expenditure.

Any Person transacting any business with the Company may transact such business with any Manager, acting on behalf of the Company, without necessity for inquiring into the authority of the Manager to so act on behalf of the Company, unless the Manager does not have actual authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to that particular business and that Person has knowledge of the fact that the Manager lacks such authority. The Company may from time to time prepare a certificate or designation of authority or similar document which may be used by a Manager when transacting business of the Company. When a Manager executes any document on behalf of the Company, the Manager may do so by signing his name, followed by the word “Manager.” The Managers, if more than one, may delegate certain duties, authority, and responsibilities among themselves as they may unanimously agree. Any such delegation shall be in writing and signed by all Managers.

7.10 Manager’s Duty of Loyalty and Related Matters.

7.10.1 Duty of Loyalty. In matters related to the business and affairs of the Company, the Managers in their capacity as such shall act solely for the benefit of the Company and not for their personal benefit.

7.10.2 Duties of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Each Manager, in the performance of his duties as such, shall exercise such powers and otherwise perform such duties in good faith, in the manner that each such Manager reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, using ordinary prudence, as a person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, each Manager shall account to the Company and hold as trustee for it any profit or benefit derived by such Manager, without the Majority Vote of the Common Members and the Majority Vote of the Preferred Members, from any transaction connected with the conduct or winding up of the Company or from any personal use by the Manager of the Company’s property.

7.10.3 Duty of Candor. Each Manager shall deal honestly with the Company and, promptly after learning of any information that is material to the business and affairs of the Company, he shall disclose such information to the Company and the Members.

7.10.4 Duty to Avoid Improper Personal Benefits. If any Manager directly or indirectly receives from any Person a monetarily significant benefit, including cash, in connection with the Manager’s activities as a Manager of the Company, the Manager shall promptly transfer such benefit to the Company.

7.10.5 Duties in Doing Business with the Company. No Manager shall engage directly or indirectly in any business arrangement or transaction with the Company on the Manager’s own behalf or on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed third party except to the extent such transaction has been approved as set forth in Section 7.4.

7.10.6 No Indemnification of Manager’s for Claims of Breach of this Section 7.10. No Manager shall be entitled to indemnification for expenses or damages, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, incurred by the Manager as a result of the Manager’s breach of any provision of this Section 7.10.

7.11 Liability of Managers. No Individual who is a Manager of the Company shall be personally liable under any judgment of a court for any debt, obligation, or liability of the Company, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort, or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Manager of the Company.

ARTICLE VIII

MEMBERS

8.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the Members shall be held at the principal place of business of the Company or at such other place as shall be specified or fixed in the notice or waiver of notice calling the meeting; provided that any or all Members may participate in any such meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment pursuant to Section 8.12.

8.2 Call of Meetings. A meeting of the Members for any proper purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Managers or by resolution approved by a Majority Vote of the Members. Members may call a meeting by delivering to the Managers one or more written requests signed by the requisite number of Members stating that the Members wish to call a meeting and indicating a specific purpose for which the meeting is to be held. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice required by Section 8.3 may be conducted at a meeting of the Members.

8.3 Notice and Waiver Thereof. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, by or at the direction of the Managers, to each Member entitled to vote at such meeting in accordance with Section 14.1. Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except where such Member attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Notice of a meeting may also be waived in writing. Attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting but not so included, if the objection is expressly made at the meeting.

8.4 Quorum. A quorum shall be present at a meeting of Members if the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of all Percentage Interests are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. Once a quorum is present at a meeting of the Members, the subsequent withdrawal from the meeting of any Member prior to adjournment or the refusal of any Member to vote shall not affect the presence of a quorum at the meeting. If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Members, the Members entitled to vote at such meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until Members holding at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Percentage Interest shall be present or represented.

8.5 Voting.

8.5.1 Voting. All Members shall be entitled to vote at meetings of Members. Members may vote either in person or by proxy at any meeting.

8.5.2 Voting Power. With respect to any matter other than a matter for which this Agreement requires the affirmative vote of Members owning a specified percentage of the issued and outstanding Units or, as the case may be, a specified percentage of the issued and outstanding Units of a certain class, the affirmative vote of Members owning at least 50% of the issued and outstanding Units shall be required to approve any matter coming before or submitted to the Members.

8.5.3 Change in Voting Percentages. No provision of this Agreement requiring that any action be taken only upon approval, vote or action of the Members owning a specified percentage of all of the issued and outstanding Units or, as the case may be, a specified percentage of all of the issued and outstanding Units of a certain class, may be modified, amended or repealed unless such modification, amendment or repeal is approved by Members owning at least such specified percentage of issued and outstanding Units, or, as the case may be, at least the specified percentage of the issued and outstanding Units of a certain class.

8.5.4 Registered Members. The Company shall be entitled to treat the owner of record of any Units as the owner in fact of such Units for all purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice of such claim or interest, except as expressly provided by this Agreement or the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

8.6 Record Date. For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive a distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose (other than determining Members entitled to consent to action by Members proposed to be taken without a meeting of the Members), the Managers may provide that the records of the Company shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed in any event thirty (30) days. If the records are closed for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of the Members, such records shall be closed ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the records, the Managers may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of Members, such date in any case to be not more than thirty (30) days and, in the case of a meeting of Members, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of Members is to be taken. If the records are not closed and if no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Members or for the determination of Members entitled to receive a distribution, the date on which the notice of meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Members declaring such distribution is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of the Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Section 8.7, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the closing of the records and the stated period of closing

has expired. The record date for determining Members entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company by delivery to its registered office, its principal place of business, or the Managers in accordance with Section 14.1.

8.7 Voting Lists. The Managers shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of Members, a complete list of the Members entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and Units owned by each Member, which list for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting shall be kept on file at the registered office or principal place of business of the Company and shall be subject to inspection by any Member at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the meeting and shall be subject to inspection by any Member during the meeting. Failure to comply with these requirements shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.

8.8 Adjournment. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Articles of Organization or this Agreement, the Common Members by a majority vote shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If such meeting is adjourned by the Common Members, such time and place shall be determined by a vote of the holders of a Majority Vote of those Members. Upon the resumption of such adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

8.9 Proxies. A Member entitled to vote may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Member. A telegram, telex, cablegram, electronic transmission or similar transmission by the Member, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile, or similar reproduction of a writing executed by such Member shall be treated as an execution in writing for purposes of this Section 8.9. Proxies for use at any meeting of Members or in connection with the taking of any action by written consent shall be filed with the Managers before or at the time of the meeting or execution of the written consent, as the case may be. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the Managers, who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the Managers, to which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the Units that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

8.10 Conduct of Meeting. The Managers shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Members including, without limitation, the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the

requirements of this Article VIII, the conduct of voting, the validity and effectiveness of any proxies, and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting.

8.11 Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the Members owning not less than the minimum percentage of Units that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all Units entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Member who signs the consent. No written consent shall be effective to take the action that is the subject of the consent unless, within sixty (60) days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Company in the manner required by this Section 8.11, a consent or consents signed by the holder or holders of not less than the minimum Percentage Interests that would be necessary to take the action that is the subject of the consent are delivered to the Company by delivery to its Managers. Delivery to the Company’s principal place of business shall be addressed to the Managers. A telegram, telex, cable gram, electronic transmission, or similar transmission by a Member, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing signed by a Member, shall be regarded as signed by the Member for purposes of this Section 8.11. Prompt notice of the taking of any action by Members without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Members who did not consent in writing to the action. If any action by the Members is taken by written consent, any certificate or document filed with the Secretary of State of Oklahoma, if any, as a result of the taking of the action shall state, in lieu of any statement required by the Act concerning any vote of Members, that written consent has been given in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

8.12 Telephone and Similar Meetings. Members may participate in and hold a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in such meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in person at such meeting, except where a Person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

8.13 Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Act or in this Agreement, no Member will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or of any other Member by reason of being a Member, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in the Act, by law or expressly in this Agreement, no Member will have any fiduciary or other duty to another Member with respect to the business and affairs of the Company.

8.14 Rights of Members Relating to Company Information. Any Member of the Company shall have the right upon demand and at such Member’s own expense to obtain, inspect, and make copies of all Company books, files, and records required to be made available to Members under the Act.

8.15 Restrictions on Power to Bind the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member as such shall have the authority or power to act on behalf of or to bind the Company or any other Member or to take any action which would adversely affect the limited liability of a

Member or affect the status of the Company as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Any Member who takes any action or binds the Company in violation of this Section 8.15 shall be solely responsible for any loss or expense incurred by the Company as a result of the unauthorized action and shall indemnify and hold the Company and the other Members harmless in respect of such loss or expense.

ARTICLE IX

TRANSFERS OF UNITS AND
WITHDRAWAL BY A MEMBER

9.1 General Restrictions on Transfers. Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, no Member may make or suffer to be made any transfer of all or any part of that Member’s Units in the Company to any Person. Any purported transfer other than as permitted in this Article IX shall be null and void and shall not be respected in any manner by the Company.

9.2 Permitted Transfers. The following transfers described in this Section 9.2 shall be permitted transfers. Any Person to whom a Unit or Units is transferred as permitted hereunder is referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” However, any permitted transfer hereunder shall be effective only upon compliance with the requirements of Section 9.3.1. Any Permitted Transferee hereunder may become a Member of the Company only upon compliance with Section 9.4.

9.2.1 With Approval of Members. All or any part of a Member’s Units may be transferred with the approval of the Managers, which approval may be withheld for any reason.

9.2.2 To Grantor Trust. All or any part of a Member’s Units may be transferred to or from a grantor trust which is revocable by the Member within the meaning of Section 676(a) of the Code.

9.3 Requirements to Be Satisfied as a Condition to the Transfer of Units and Before Distributions May Be Made to Any Permitted Transferee.

9.3.1 Requirements. Any Permitted Transferee shall be recognized as the transferee of the transferred Units, but only if: (i) the Permitted Transferee of the Units executes such documents as are satisfactory to the Company accepting and adopting this Agreement; (ii) the transferor and the Permitted Transferee of the Units satisfy the Company that the transfer is permissible under applicable state and federal securities laws and will not jeopardize the classification of the Company as a partnership for income tax purposes; (iii) the transferor and the Permitted Transferee of the Units satisfy the Company that the transfer is permitted under this Agreement; and (iv) the transferor and the Permitted Transferee agree to pay all expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with the transfer.

9.3.2 Payment of Distributions. The Company shall, after notice of any transfer pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX and after compliance by the transferor and Permitted Transferee with Section 9.3.1, thereafter pay all further distributions on account of the Units so transferred to the Permitted Transferee.

9.4 Permitted Transferee May Become a Member of the Company. Any Permitted Transferee of all or any part of a Member’s Units in the Company who satisfies the requirements of Section 9.2.1 may become a Member of the Company only upon the affirmative vote of Members holding at least 50% of the issued and outstanding Units (excluding the Units of the Permitted Transferee). Any Permitted Transferee who does not become a Member of the Company shall only be entitled to such allocations and distributions with respect to the transferred Units in accordance with this Agreement and shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Company, shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the Members, and shall not have any of the rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement.

9.5 Involuntary Transfer. Upon the occurrence of an Involuntary Transfer, the transferee (the “Involuntary Transferee”) (i) shall not become a Member and (ii) shall be subject to the following mandatory call option. The Company shall have the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Units held by the Involuntary Transferee by giving notice of exercise (the “Call Notice”) to the Involuntary Transferee within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Company receives written notice from the Involuntary Transferee or the transferor of the Involuntary Transfer. The purchase price shall be an amount equal to the Book Value of the Units at the time of the Involuntary Transfer. The closing shall occur on the date specified by the Company in the Call Notice; provided, however, that the closing shall occur within ninety (90) days after the Involuntary Transferee receives the Call Notice. The purchase price shall be paid in full in cash at the closing. If the Company fails to exercise its call option within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company shall be deemed to have declined the call option; and the Involuntary Transferee shall only be entitled to such allocations and distributions with respect to the transferred Units and shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books and records of the Company, shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the Members, and shall not have any other rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement, unless the Involuntary Transferee is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 9.4.

9.6 Partial Invalidity. The Members each agree that all of the terms and provisions contained in this Article IX are fair and reasonable and are necessary to protect the mutual rights and interests of the Members. However, in the event it is determined that any restriction or limitation on transferability of Units under this Article IX or the right on behalf of the Members or the Company to repurchase any Units so transferred or proposed to be transferred should be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then that provision or those provisions herein which are determined to be invalid or unenforceable shall be reformed and amended to the minimum extent absolutely necessary to cause any such provision to be valid and enforceable. The purpose of this provision is to prevent a determination of total invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision, since that is contrary to the intent of the Members entering into this Agreement. In the case of a transfer or attempted transfer that is not in compliance with this Article IX, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such transfer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all costs, liabilities and damages that any of such indemnified Persons may incur (including incremental tax liability and attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result of such transfer or attempted transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby. Furthermore, any of the transferor’s rights to allocations and distributions as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Units purported to be transferred may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company or the other

Members) to satisfy the debts, obligations or liabilities for damages that the purported transfer may have caused the Company or the other Members.

ARTICLE X

10.1 Confidentiality. All information (the “Confidential Information”) acquired by a Member or Manager in connection with the Company shall be treated as confidential and each Member and Manager shall take or cause to be taken such reasonable precautions as may be necessary to prevent the disclosure thereof to any unauthorized Person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Confidential Information may be furnished to bona fide prospective purchasers of Units or to consultants for evaluation purposes; provided that any Person furnished with the information pursuant to this Section 10.1 agrees in writing not to communicate such information to any other Person or use it for its own benefit or in a manner adverse to the interests of the Company or a Member and the Company and its Members are expressly made third party beneficiaries of such agreement.

(b) a Majority Vote of the Common Members and a Majority Vote of the Preferred Members to dissolve the Company; or

11.2 Dissolution of the Company.

11.3 Manner of Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Managers shall have full and complete authority to liquidate the Company’s assets and liabilities in a reasonable manner. Liquidating distributions need not be of a pro rata interest in each item of property distributed, but instead distributions of cash or properties can be made non-pro rata as reasonably determined by the Managers. All expenses of termination and liquidation shall be treated as Company expenses. In the event there is no Manager then serving, then the Members shall appoint a Person, which may but need not be a Member, to act as the liquidating agent of the Company.

Upon liquidation of the Company, all gains and losses from the sale or exchange of the Company’s assets shall be credited and charged to the Members for federal income tax purposes and capital account purposes as provided for in Article V.

11.5 Liquidating Distributions. All liquidation proceeds shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(a) to the payment of all liabilities owed to creditors of the Company, including liabilities owed to Members; then

her conduct was unlawful. Further, no indemnification shall be had which is not permitted under the Act. To be eligible for indemnity hereunder, the Indemnitee shall have given notice to the Company on a reasonably prompt basis of the existence, nature, and scope of the Indemnified Claims and Indemnified Expenses as soon as the Indemnitee became aware thereof.

12.2 Advancement of Indemnified Expenses. Indemnified Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee may, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of an Indemnified Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such Indemnified Expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article.

12.3 Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Article shall be in addition to any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, vote of the Members, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assignees, heirs, personal representatives and administrators of the Indemnitee.

12.4 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at the Company’s expense, on behalf of any Indemnitees against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with the activities of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

14.2 Specific Performance. The parties recognize that irreparable injury will result from a breach of any provision of this Agreement and that money damages will be inadequate to fully remedy the injury. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, any party who may be injured (in addition to any other remedies which may be available to that party) shall be entitled to one or more preliminary or permanent orders (i) restraining and enjoining any act which would constitute a breach, or (ii) compelling the performance of any obligation which, if not performed, would constitute a breach.
