ARTICLE 3
UNITS; MEMBERS

 

3.1                               Units.

 

(a)                                       Unit Designations and Authorized
Units. The Membership Interests in the Company shall be designated as “Units”
and, as of the Effective Date, divided into two classes of “Common Units”
referred to as the “Class A Common Units” and the “Class B

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Common Units.” The Class A Common Units shall be further designated as series
referred to as “Series A-1 Units,” and “Series A-2 Units.” On the Effective
Date, after giving effect to the Effective Date Transactions, the Company has
issued (i) 26,897,141 Units designated as Class A Common Units, of which
(x) 15,895,577 are designated as Series A-1 Units and (y) 11,001,564 are
designated as Series A-2 Units and (ii) 894,102 Units designated as Class B
Common Units.(1) Subject to Section 7.7, Section 8.2 and Section 8.4(b), the
Company may issue, from time to time, as many additional Units as are determined
by the Board in its sole discretion, for such consideration as is determined by
the Board in its sole discretion. Each Unit shall have all of the rights,
privileges, preferences and obligations specifically provided for in, or
permitted by, this Agreement.

 

(b)                                       Class B Common Units.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, Class B Common Units may be issued only pursuant to an Equity
Award Agreement. Class B Members shall not be entitled to vote on or consent
with respect to any matters submitted to a vote or requiring consent of the
Members, other than on matters that adversely affect such Class B Members as a
class in a manner that is disproportionate to the Class A Members as a class.
Class B Common Units are intended to be treated for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a profits interest within the meaning of IRS Revenue Procedures
93-27 and 2001-43 and, accordingly, prior to the issuance of any Class B Common
Units, the Board will determine, by whatever means or methods it deems
appropriate, the Fair Market Value of the aggregate equity of the Company as of
the date of the issuance (such value, as increased by any additional Capital
Contributions after such issuance, the applicable “Baseline Value”). For the
avoidance of doubt, the Baseline Value for all Class B Common Units issued prior
to the Effective Date shall not be affected as a result of the Effective Date
Transactions. A Class B Common Unit shall be entitled only to share in the
appreciation in the Fair Market Value of the aggregate equity in the Company
over and above its applicable Baseline Value. Class B Common Units issued at the
same Baseline Value shall be treated as one subclass of Class B Common Units.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to any
conditions or restrictions on the Class B Common Units contained in this
Agreement, the Class B Common Units may also be subject to such other conditions
and restrictions (including vesting criteria) as determined by the Board and set
forth in an Equity Award Agreement executed and delivered in connection with any
such issuance or grant. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this
Agreement or any Equity Award Agreement to the contrary, the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and any Equity Award Agreement shall be interpreted
consistently with the intention to treat Class B Common Units as profits
interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In accordance with IRS Revenue
Procedure 2001-43, the Company shall treat the holders of Class B Common Units
as partners from the date of grant, whether or not vested, and shall file its
IRS Form 1065 and issue the appropriate K-1s to such

issuances prior to the Effective Date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

holder, allocating to such holder its distributive share of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit as if the holder was fully vested in such Class B Common
Units. Each holder of a Class Common B Unit agrees to take into account the
holder’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit in
computing the holder’s federal income tax liability. The Company and each Member
agree not to claim a deduction in connection with the issuance of Class Common B
Units.

 

(ii)                                  Any Class B Member that receives Class B
Common Units shall make an election under Code Section 83(b) with respect to the
Class B Common Units received under an Equity Award Agreement, and will deliver
to the Company a completed, executed copy of such Section 83(b) election. The
Class B Member agrees to file the election (or to permit the Company to file
such election on the Class B Member’s behalf) within 30 days after the issue
date of the Class B Common Units hereunder with the IRS Service Center at which
such Class B Member files his or her personal income tax returns, and to file a
copy of such election with the Class B Member’s federal income tax return for
the Member’s taxable year in which the Class B Common Units are issued.

 

(iii)                               The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the
issuance of up to 2,336,905 Class B Common Units and an equal number of
corresponding incentive plan units (in each case, or such other amount as may be
approved by the Board from time to time with Requisite Member Approval), of
which 894,102 Class B Common Units (and an equal number of corresponding
incentive plan units) out of the 2,336,905 total Class B Common Units (and
incentive plan units) issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan have been
issued as of the Effective Date.

 

(c)                                        UCC Securities. Units shall
constitute “securities” governed by Article 8 of the applicable version of the
Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to time after the Effective Date.

 

(d)                                       Fractional Units. Any fractional Units
that would otherwise be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be rounded down
to the nearest whole Unit.

 

(e)                                        Certificates. Unless otherwise
determined by the Board, ownership of the Units shall not be evidenced by means
of unit certificates.

 

3.2                               Effective Date Transactions. As of the
Effective Date, (a) the 10,592,540 Series A Convertible Preferred Units and the
409,024 Class A Common Units (as designated as such pursuant to the Original
Agreement) acquired by the Initial MSI Member from ArcLight pursuant to the
ArcLight UPA are hereby converted for all purposes into 11,001,564 Class A
Common Units, all of which are hereby designated as Series A-2 Units, and the
Initial MSI Member is the sole Series A-2 Member as of the Effective Date,
(b) the 15,895,577 Class A Common Units (as designated as such pursuant to the
Original Agreement) held by MHR and the Minority Owners are hereby converted for
all purposes into 15,895,577 Class A Common Units, all of which are hereby
designated as Series A-1 Units, and MHR and the other Persons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

identified on Schedule I hereto as Series A-1 Members are the sole Series A-1
Members as of the Effective Date and (c) the 894,102 Class B Common Units (as
designated as such pursuant to the Original Agreement) held by the Persons
identified on Schedule I hereto as Class B Members are hereby converted for all
purposes into 894,102 Class B Common Units, and the Persons identified on
Schedule I hereto as Class B Members are the sole Class B Members as of the
Effective Date (collectively, the “Effective Date Transactions”).(2)

 

3.3                               Unit Transactions at the Second Closing. If
the Initial MSI Member acquires Class A Common Units from MHR pursuant to the
Transaction Agreement (the date of the closing of such transaction, the “Second
Closing”), all of such acquired Class A Common Units shall be designated as an
equal number of Series A-2 Units and the Members’ Schedule shall be updated
accordingly to reflect the Second Closing.

 

3.4                               No Other Persons Deemed Members. Unless
admitted to the Company as a Member as provided in this Agreement, no Person
(including an assignee of rights with respect to Membership Interests or a
transferee of Membership Interests, whether voluntary, by operation of Law or
otherwise) shall be, or shall be considered, a Member. The Company may elect to
deal only with Persons admitted to the Company as Members as provided in this
Agreement (including their duly authorized representatives). Any distribution by
the Company to the Person shown on the Company’s records as a Member, or to its
legal representatives, shall relieve the Company of all liability to any other
Person who may have an interest in such distribution by reason of any
Disposition of Membership Interests by the Member or for any other reason.

 

3.5                               No Resignation or Expulsion. A Member may not
take any action to Resign 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 Disposition of
all of such Member’s Membership Interests in accordance with Article 7 and, if
applicable, each of the transferees of such Membership Interests being admitted
as a Substituted Member. A Member will cease to be a Member only in the manner
described in Section 3.7 and Article 12.

 

3.6                               Members’ Schedule. The Company shall maintain
the schedule of all of the Members from time to time, including the mailing
addresses and the Membership Interests held by them (such schedule, as the same
may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, collectively the
“Members’ Schedule”). A copy of the Members’ Schedule as of the Effective Date
is attached as Schedule I.

 

3.7                               Admission of Additional Members and
Substituted Members and Creation of Additional Units.

 

(a)                                       Authority. Subject to the limitations
set forth in this Article 3 and in Article 7, and subject to Section 8.2 and
Section 8.4(b), the Company may admit Additional Members and Substituted Members
and may also (i) issue additional Units or (ii) create and issue such additional
classes or series of Units or other Membership

Interests (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Membership Interests), having such designations, preferences and relative,
participating or other special rights, powers and duties as the Board shall
determine in its sole discretion, including: (A) the right of any such class or
series of Membership Interests to share in the Company’s distributions; (B) the
allocation to any such class or series of Membership Interests of Profits (and
all items included in the computation thereof) or Losses (and all items included
in the computation thereof); (C) the rights of any such class or series of
Membership Interests upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company; and (D) the
right of any such class or series of Membership Interests to vote on matters
relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and this Agreement. Upon the
issuance pursuant to and in accordance with this Article 3 of any class or
series of Membership Interests, the Board may amend any provision of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 13.5(a), and authorize any Person to
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, if required, such documents, to
the extent necessary or desirable to reflect the admission of any Additional
Member to the Company or the authorization and issuance of such class or series
Membership Interests (or securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Membership Interests), and the related rights and preferences
thereof.

 

(b)                                       Conditions. An Additional Member or
Substituted Member shall be admitted to the Company with all the rights and
obligations of a Member if (A) all applicable conditions of ARTICLE 7 and
ARTICLE 8 are satisfied and (B) such Additional Member or Substituted Member, if
not already a party to this Agreement (and such Additional Member’s or such
Substituted Member’s spouse, if applicable), shall have executed and delivered
to the Company (1) an Addendum Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B (an
“Addendum Agreement”) and (2) such other documents or instruments as may be
required in the Board’s reasonable judgment to effect the admission or
substitution. No Disposition or issuance of Membership Interests otherwise
permitted or required by this Agreement shall be effective, no Member shall have
the right to substitute a transferee as a Member in its place with respect to
any Membership Interests acquired by such transferee in any Disposition and no
purchaser of newly issued Membership Interests from the Company shall be deemed
to be a Member if the foregoing conditions are not satisfied.

 

(c)                                        Rights and Obligations of Additional
Members and Substituted Members. A transferee of Membership Interests who has
been admitted as an Additional Member or as a Substituted Member or a purchaser
or recipient of newly issued Membership Interests from the Company who has been
admitted as an Additional Member in accordance with this Section 3.7 shall have
all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions, obligations
and liabilities under this Agreement relating to a Member holding Membership
Interests.

 

(d)                                       Date of Admission as Additional or
Substituted Member. Admission of an Additional Member or Substituted Member
shall become effective on the date such Person’s name is recorded on the books
and records of the Company. Upon the admission of an Additional Member or
Substituted Member, (i) the Company shall, without the need for consent of any
other Person, revise the Members’ Schedule to reflect the name and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

address of, and the number and class of Membership Interests held by, such
Additional Member or Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if
necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted
Member and (ii) to the extent of the Disposition to such Substituted Member, the
Disposing Member shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement. Any
Member who Disposed of all of such Member’s Membership Interests in one or more
Dispositions permitted pursuant to this Section 3.7 and Article 7 (where each
transferee was admitted as an Additional Member or a Substituted Member) shall
cease to be a Member as of the date on which all transferees are admitted as
Additional Members or Substituted Members; provided, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such Member shall not be relieved of
any liabilities that arise under or are incurred by such Member pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to the time such Member Disposes of
any Membership Interests or ceases to be a Member.

 

3.8                               No Liability of Members. Except as otherwise
required under the Act, the debts, liabilities, contracts and other obligations
of the Company (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be solely
the debts, liabilities, contracts and other obligations of the Company, and no
Member in its capacity as such shall be liable personally (a) for any debts,
liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the Company, except to the extent
and under the circumstances set forth in any non-waivable provision of the Act
or in any separate written instrument signed by the applicable Member or (b) for
any debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of any other Member. No
Member shall have any responsibility to restore any negative balance in its
Capital Account or to contribute to or in respect of the liabilities or
obligations of the Company or to return distributions made by the Company,
except as expressly provided herein or required by any non-waivable provision of
the Act; provided, however, that each Eligible Member shall be liable for its
failure to fund (i) CapEx Contributions it is required to make to the Company in
exchange for Class A Common Units for Approved Projects in accordance with
Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 and/or CapEx Contributions it is required to make to
the Company in exchange for Class A Common Units for De Minimis Projects in
accordance with Section 5.4 and/or (ii) its elections to make Optional Capital
Contributions in exchange for New Securities pursuant to Section 5.9 and
Section 7.7. The agreement set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall
be deemed to be a compromise with the consent of all of the Members for purposes
of §18-502(b) of the Act. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction
orders, holds or determines that, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Agreement, any Member is obligated to restore any such negative balance, make
any such contribution or make any such return, such obligation shall be the
obligation of such Member and not of any other Person.

 

3.9                               Spouses of Members. Spouses of any Members who
are natural Persons do not become Members as a result of such marital
relationship. Each spouse of a Member that is a natural person shall execute a
spousal agreement in a form reasonably requested by the Company (as directed by
the Board) to evidence his or her agreement and consent to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and each other Related Document that has been
or will be executed by such Member or is otherwise binding on such Member.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

4.1                               Representations and Warranties of Members.
Without in any way limiting the terms and conditions in the other Related
Documents, each Member severally, but not jointly, represents and warrants to
the Company and the other Members, as of the Effective Date (or, in the case of
a Substituted Member or Additional Member, on the date it is admitted pursuant
to Section 3.7(d)), that:

 

(a)                                       Authority. Such Member has full power
and authority to execute and deliver the Related Documents to which it is a
party and to perform its obligations thereunder, and the execution, delivery and
performance by such Member of the Related Documents to which it is, or will be,
a party has been, or will be, duly authorized by all necessary action.

 

(b)                                       Binding Obligations. Each Related
Document to which such Member is, or will be, a party has been, or will be, duly
and validly executed and delivered by such Member and constitutes, or shall
constitute, the binding obligation of such Member enforceable against such
Member in accordance with its terms, subject to Creditors’ Rights.

 

(c)                                        No Conflict. The execution, delivery
and performance by such Member of the Related Documents to which it is, or will
be, a party will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of
time, or both, (i) violate any provision of Law to which such Member is subject,
(ii) violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to such Member or
(iii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under (A) any term or
condition of such Member’s organizational documents or (B) any other instrument
to which such Member is a party or by which any property of such Member is
otherwise bound or subject, except, in the case of this clause (B), where such
violation, conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to,
individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents to which such Member
is, or will be, a party or to materially impair such Member’s ability to perform
its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is, or will be, a party.

 

(d)                                       Investment Entirely For Own Account.
The Membership Interests acquired or to be acquired by such Member will be
acquired for investment for such Member’s own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof;
such Member has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in,
or otherwise distributing the same; and such Member does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the
Membership Interests.

 

(e)                                        Unregistered Securities. Such Member
understands that the Membership Interests, at the time of issuance, will not be
registered under the Securities Act or other applicable federal or state
securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

thereunder. Such Member also understands that such Membership Interests are
being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in
the Securities Act based in part upon such Member’s representations contained in
this Agreement.

 

(f)                                         Investment Experience. Such Member
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such
Member is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Membership Interests and of making an informed investment decision with respect
to the purchase thereof and understands that (i) this investment is suitable
only for an investor which is able to bear the economic consequences of losing
such investor’s entire investment, (ii) the acquisition of the Membership
Interests hereunder is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of
risk of loss, which could include the loss of the Member’s entire investment and
(iii) there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of, and there
will be no public market for, the Membership Interests, and accordingly, it may
not be possible for such Member to liquidate such Member’s investment in case of
emergency.

 

(g)                                        Accredited Investor. Unless such
Member is acquiring Membership Interests after the Effective Date in a
transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
Rule 701 promulgated thereunder, such Member is an Accredited Investor.

 

(h)                                       Restricted Securities. Such Member
understands that the Membership Interests acquired or to be acquired by such
Member may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without
registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the
absence of either an effective registration statement covering such Membership
Interests or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act,
the Membership Interests must be held indefinitely. Such Member understands that
the Company has no present intention of registering the Membership Interests to
be acquired by such Member. Such Member also understands that there is no
assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be
available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow such Member
to transfer all or any portion of the Membership Interests to be acquired by it
under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times such Member might
propose. In particular, such Member is aware that the Membership Interests may
not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all
of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule 144
may be availability of current information to the public about the Company. Such
information is not now available and the Company has no plans to make such
information available.

 

(i)                                           Taxes. Such Member has reviewed
with its own Tax advisors the federal, state and local and the other Tax
consequences of an investment in Membership Interests and the transactions
contemplated by the Related Documents to which such Member is, or will be, a
party. Such Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company is making no
representation or warranty as to the federal, state, local or foreign Tax
consequences to such Member as a result of such Member’s acquisition of
Membership Interests or the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents
to which such Member is, or will be,

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

a party. Such Member understands that it shall be responsible for its own Tax
liability that may arise as result of such Member’s acquisition of Membership
Interests.

 

4.2                               Additional Representations by MHR. Without in
any way limiting the terms and conditions in the other Related Documents, on the
execution date of the Transaction Agreement MHR made, and on each of the
Effective Date and the Second Closing MHR shall make, the representations and
warranties set forth in the Transaction Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 5
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

 

5.1                               Capital Contributions. On or prior to the
Effective Date, the Members (or their predecessors in interest) are making or
have made the Capital Contributions described on Schedule I.

 

5.2                               CapEx Contributions; Issuance of Class A
Common Units.

 

(a)                                       CapEx Contributions Generally.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement or otherwise (and whether or not there is an Annual Budget
approved by the Board with Requisite Member Approval), no Member shall be
required to make a Capital Contribution except to the extent expressly required
in this ARTICLE 5 or Section 7.7.

 

(ii)                                  In connection with any proposed incurrence
of any capital expenditure (or series of capital expenditures relating to the
same capital project) relating to growth projects and/or acquisitions (each such
project and/or acquisition, a “Proposed Growth CapEx Project”), the Officers
shall (except in connection with Permitted Early Stage CapEx, Permitted CapEx
Overage in respect of Approved Projects or acquisitions permitted by
Section 8.4(b)(xii)) present to the Board and the Eligible Members a reasonably
detailed description of such Proposed Growth CapEx Project (the “CapEx
Proposal”), which CapEx Proposal shall include the following information with
respect to such Proposed Growth CapEx Project: (A) the amount of Sufficient
Funds (if any) the Company reasonably expects to have for such Proposed Growth
CapEx Project (including present calculations of the amount available under the
Existing Revolver and/or other credit facility entered into in accordance with
this Agreement) and whether the Company reasonably expects to need Capital
Contributions for all or any portion of such Proposed Growth CapEx Project and a
schedule of requested dates and amounts for Capital Contributions (if
applicable), which schedule shall not propose Capital Contributions more than
once per quarter, (B) the expected completion date, (C) a detailed budget,
(D) the development and completion milestones, if applicable, (E) any proposed
contractual arrangements, including copies of any drafts or executed agreements,
(F) the projected unlevered return and (G) such other information as may be
reasonably requested by the Board or any Eligible Member.

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(iii)                               If the Company does not have Sufficient
Funds for any such Proposed Growth CapEx Project (as determined by the Board),
then, in connection with the consideration by the Board and the Eligible Members
regarding whether to approve such Proposed Growth CapEx Project, MHR shall
provide a written notice (“MHR Funding Notice”) to the Board and the other
Eligible Members of whether, due to current and expected capital constraints,
MHR will not be capable of making all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of
Capital Contributions relating to a Proposed Growth CapEx Project as
contemplated in Section 5.3. MHR’s inability to make all or a portion of its Pro
Rata Share of such CapEx Contribution as set forth in such MHR Funding Notice is
referred to as a “MHR Non-Funding Event” and the amount in respect thereof is
the “Unfunded MHR Amount”. In the case of a MHR Non-Funding Event, the MHR
Funding Notice shall include the Unfunded MHR Amount.

 

(iv)                              In order to consent to and approve a Proposed
Growth CapEx Project, the Board and the Members constituting Requisite Member
Approval shall (if they, in their respective sole discretion, consent to and
approve such Proposed Growth CapEx Project) execute and deliver a written
consent (“Project Written Consent”), which shall include, as an attachment
thereto, the following information provided by the Company with respect to such
Proposed Growth CapEx Project: (A) the source of funds for such Proposed Growth
CapEx Project and, if applicable, a schedule of the dates and amounts for
Capital Contributions (including whether any such dates for Capital
Contributions will be MHR Non-Funding Events and the Unfunded MHR Amounts with
respect thereto) (the “Funding Schedule”), (B) the expected completion date (the
“Expected Completion Date”), (C) the detailed budget (the “Project Budget”),
(D) the development and completion milestones, if applicable (the “Project
Milestones”), (E) any proposed contractual arrangements, including copies of any
drafts or executed agreements, (F) the projected unlevered return (“Project
Unlevered Return”) and (G) such other information as may be reasonably requested
by the Board or any Eligible Member (“Other Project Information”). Each Eligible
Member that executes the Project Written Consent and expressly agrees in such
Project Written Consent to make Capital Contributions to the Company to fund the
Proposed Growth CapEx Project shall be a “Funding Member” but in no event shall
any Funding Member ever be obligated to make Capital Contributions in respect of
such Proposed Growth CapEx Project in excess of the amount set forth in the
Project Written Consent with respect to such Funding Member. For the avoidance
of doubt, if a Project Written Consent relating to an Approved Project
contemplates periodic funding (as set forth in the Project Written Consent),
(x) following the execution of the Project Written Consent by a Funding Member,
such Funding Member shall be obligated, subject to the conditions to funding
applicable to such Funding Member as provided in Section 5.3(c), to fund its
CapEx Contributions in accordance with the Project Written Consent and (y) in
connection with each such funding relating to such Approved Project, there shall
be a separate CapEx Contribution Request (in accordance with the Project Written
Consent).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

*             THE REGISTRANT HAS REQUESTED AN ORDER FROM THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, GRANTING CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT TO SELECTED
PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT.  ACCORDINGLY, THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS HAVE BEEN
OMITTED FROM THIS EXHIBIT AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC.  OMITTED
PORTIONS ARE INDICATED BY “[REDACTED]*”.

 

(b)                                       Sources of Funds. With respect to each
Proposed Growth CapEx Project that is both contemplated in the CapEx Budget and
approved in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(iv), Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and
Section 8.4(b) (an “Approved Project”), the Company shall (i) first use the
Company’s cash on hand (including cash received from MHR pursuant to a MHR
Catch-Up Contribution described in clause (y) of Section 5.5)), to the extent
available (as such availability is determined by the Board), to fund such
Approved Project and (ii) if the Company does not have such cash sufficient to
fund fully such Approved Project, then the Company shall use funds available
under the Existing Revolver or other credit facility entered into in accordance
with this Agreement to fund such Approved Project. If the Company does not have
sufficient funds as referred to in the prior sentence to fund fully such
Approved Project (“Sufficient Funds”), the Board shall direct the Company to
request cash Capital Contributions from the Funding Members (“Requested CapEx
Contribution”) to fund the remaining amount (the amount of each such Requested
CapEx Contribution, the “Requested CapEx Contribution Amount”) and on the terms
and conditions set forth in this ARTICLE 5 and the Project Written Consent. Such
cash Capital Contributions made by the Funding Members are referred to as “CapEx
Contributions.”

 

(c)                                        Issuance of Common Units in Respect
of CapEx Contributions. For each CapEx Contribution made by a Funding Member to
the Company, the Company shall issue to such Funding Member a number of Class A
Common Units equal to the amount of such CapEx Contribution made by such Funding
Member divided by $[REDACTED]*; provided, that, the Series A-1 Members making
such CapEx Contribution shall receive Series A-1 Units and the Series A-2
Members making such CapEx Contribution shall receive Series A-2 Units.

 

(d)                                       2014 Projects. The capital projects
identified on Schedule II are Approved Projects (as approved, the “2014
Projects”). Subject to satisfaction of the Required Condition and receipt of the
Company Certificate, the Series A-2 Members shall make the CapEx Contributions
in respect of the 2014 Projects in accordance with the Funding Schedule relating
to such 2014 Projects set forth on Schedule II (or as otherwise set forth in a
Project Written Consent approved by the Board with Requisite Member Approval
either on or after the Effective Date). In no event shall the Series A-2 Members
be required to make CapEx Contributions in respect of the 2014 Projects in
excess of $30 million in the aggregate (unless consented to in writing by the
Series A-2 Majority).

 

(e)                                        2014 Capital Contributions. MHR may
(but shall not be required to) make Capital Contributions during the Interim
Period so long as (i) the request for such Capital Contribution is approved by,
and at the direction of, the Board in accordance with Section 8.2 and this
ARTICLE 5 and (ii) each Series A-2 Member is afforded the right to participate
in such Capital Contribution in accordance with this ARTICLE 5 and the other
provisions of this Agreement (including the right of each Series A-2 Member to
make CapEx Contributions up to its Funding Share in respect of Approved
Projects).

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

5.3                               CapEx Contribution Request.

 

(a)                                       The Company shall provide the Funding
Members a notice requesting CapEx Contributions in respect of each Approved
Project and the Project Written Consent relating thereto as directed by the
Board in accordance with Section 5.2(b) (a “CapEx Contribution Request”), which
request shall be provided not less than 20 and not more than 30 Business Days
prior to the requested date of contribution, which date shall be set forth in
the CapEx Contribution Request and such date shall be substantially in
accordance with the Funding Schedule (the “CapEx Contribution Closing Date”).
Upon notice from a Funding Member, the CapEx Contribution Closing Date shall be
extended to the extent necessary to satisfy any waiting periods or other
requirements under the HSR Act or other competition Laws.

 

(b)                                       A CapEx Contribution Request with
respect to any Approved Project shall include (i) a reasonably detailed
description of the Approved Project, (ii) a certification from the Chief
Executive Officer or other senior Officer that the Required Condition is
satisfied (the “Company Certificate”) and (iii) if MHR is a Funding Member with
respect to such Approved Project, a certification from the chief executive
officer or other senior officer of MHR that MHR is ready, willing and able to
make its required CapEx Contribution in accordance with the Project Written
Consent (the “MHR Certificate”). The Requested CapEx Contribution Amount shall
not exceed the amount reasonably required by the Company in connection with
pursuing the applicable Approved Project during the following calendar quarter,
but in no event shall such amount exceed the amount set forth in the Funding
Schedule for such calendar quarter unless otherwise agreed by the Funding
Members in writing.

 

(c)                                        Upon the Funding Members’ receipt of
a valid CapEx Contribution Request (including the Company Certificate and, if
MHR is a Funding Member with respect to such Approved Project, the MHR
Certificate), and subject to satisfaction of the Required Condition, each
Funding Member shall be obligated to fund such Funding Member’s Funding Share of
the total Requested CapEx Contribution Amount; provided, that, (i) in the case
of a MHR Non-Funding Event as reflected in the Project Written Consent, each
Series A-2 Member that is a Funding Member shall also fund, subject to
Section 5.2 and this Section 5.3, its pro rata share of the Unfunded MHR Amount
to the extent set forth in the Project Written Consent (and MHR shall not be
required to fund such Unfunded MHR Amount in respect of such CapEx Contribution
Request) and (ii) in the case that the CapEx Contribution Closing Date is during
a MHR Catch-Up Period, (A) MHR may elect to make a MHR Catch-Up Contribution in
accordance with, and subject to, Section 5.5, up to an amount equal to the
lesser of (x) the MHR Shortfall Amount and (y) $40 million and (B) if MHR makes
a MHR Catch-Up Contribution, the Funding Schedule shall be revised such that the
obligations of the Funding Members (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, MHR)
with respect to such CapEx Contribution Request are reduced, pro rata based on
the Funding Members’ (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, MHR) Funding Share,
by an amount equal to the MHR Catch-Up Contribution. On the CapEx Contribution
Closing Date, each Funding Member making a CapEx Contribution shall receive
Common Units in accordance with Section 5.2(c). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, the Series A-2 Majority may (but shall not have the
obligation to) waive the condition (1) set forth in clause (H) of the

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

definition of Required Condition and the certification relating thereto and/or
(2) the requirement to deliver a MHR Certificate (if applicable), in each case,
on behalf of the Members and the Company by execution of a written instrument.

 

(d)                                       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in
the case of a De Minimis Project, the provisions of Section 5.4 shall apply and
(ii) in the case of a MHR Non-Funding Event, the provisions of Section 5.5 shall
apply.

 

5.4                               De Minimis Projects. Notwithstanding
Section 5.3, in the case of a Proposed Growth CapEx Project proposed in
accordance with Section 5.2(a)(ii) after December 31, 2014 that relates to a
capital project reasonably expected to require less than $1 million in the
aggregate (a “De Minimis Project”), the Board (acting with at least fifty
percent (50%) of the Managers) may require all (but not less than all) Eligible
Members to fund their pro rata portion such De Minimis Project, which shall
(a) not exceed (i) CapEx Contributions by Eligible Members of $1 million in the
aggregate with respect to each De Minimis Project and/or (ii) CapEx
Contributions by Eligible Members of $15 million in the aggregate per year with
respect to De Minimis Projects and (b) be made on the other terms and conditions
described in Section 5.3 (including the issuance of Common Units to the Eligible
Members in accordance with Section 5.2(c)). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Eligible Members shall not have any obligation to
fund De Minimis Projects (x) unless all other Eligible Members fund their pro
rata portion of De Minimis Projects (and no Eligible Member shall have an
obligation to fund any portion of another Eligible Member’s pro rata portion of
a De Minimis Project) or (y) upon the expiration of the Commitment Period.

 

5.5                               MHR Catch-Up Contribution. In the event the
Series A-2 Members fund all or a portion of the Unfunded MHR Amount (the amount
so funded, the “MHR Shortfall Amount”), MHR may, during (but not after) the
period beginning on the CapEx Contribution Closing Date that resulted in there
being an MHR Shortfall Amount and ending 180 days thereafter (the “MHR Catch-Up
Period”), (x) fund an amount greater than its Pro Rata Share with respect to
Requested CapEx Contributions contributed during such MHR Catch-Up Period or
(y) otherwise elect to make a CapEx Contribution during such MHR Catch-Up
Period, up to such MHR Shortfall Amount (in the case of clauses (x) and/or (y),
in the aggregate, a “MHR Catch-Up Contribution”); provided, that, MHR shall not
be permitted to make MHR Catch-Up Contributions in excess of $40 million in the
aggregate during such MHR Catch-Up Period.

 

5.6                               Return of Contributions. A Member is not
entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid
interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions.
An unreturned Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any
Member. A Member is not required to contribute or to lend any cash or property
to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital
Contributions.

 

5.7                               Capital Account.

 

(a)                                       A Capital Account shall be maintained
for each Member in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Member’s Capital Account (a) shall be increased
by (i) the amount of money contributed by such Member to the Company, (ii) the
initial Book Value of property contributed by such

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the contributed property
that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code
Section 752), (iii) allocations to such Member of Profits and any other items of
income or gain allocated to such Member, pursuant to Section 6.2 and (iv) in the
case of a Member holding a Compensatory Membership Interest, the amount included
in the Member’s compensation income under Section 83(a), 83(b) or 83(d)(2) of
the Code, and (b) shall be decreased by (i) the amount of money distributed to
such Member by the Company, (ii) the Book Value of property distributed to such
Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the distributed property
that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code
Section 752), and (iii) allocations to such Member of Losses and any other items
of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.2. On the
Disposition of all or part of a Member’s Membership Interests, the Capital
Account of the transferor that is attributable to the Disposed Membership
Interests shall carry over to the transferee Member in accordance with the
provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l). For the
avoidance of doubt, as of the close of business on the day immediately prior to
the Effective Date, the Company shall conduct an interim closing of the books as
required by Section 6.4 in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
ArcLight UPA, and on the Effective Date, as a result of the Effective Date
Transactions, the Book Value of the Company’s property shall be adjusted so that
the Capital Accounts of the Members after taking into account the adjustment
occurring as a result of the Effective Date Transactions are set forth on in the
Members’ Schedule (“Effective Date Capital Account Balance”). Immediately
following the interim closing referred to above and immediately before the
Effective Date Transaction, the Rogersville Facility (as defined in the
Transaction Agreement) will be deemed for Capital Account maintenance purposes
to have been distributed by the Company to MHR pursuant to Section 6.2 of the
Transaction Agreement. The deemed distribution pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence has been taken into account in determining MHR’s Effective
Date Capital Account Balance.

 

(b)                                       The manner in which Capital Accounts
are to be maintained pursuant to this Section 5.7 is intended to comply with the
requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder. If, in the opinion of the Board, the manner in which
Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of
this Section 5.7 should be modified in order to comply with Section 704(b) of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, then notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in the preceding provisions of this Section 5.7, the
method in which Capital Accounts are maintained shall be so modified; provided,
however, that any change in the manner of maintaining Capital Accounts shall not
materially alter the economic agreement and relative economic benefits between
or among the Members.

 

(c)                                        Except as otherwise required in the
Act, no Member shall have any liability to restore all or any portion of a
deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account.

 

5.8                               Advances by Members. If the Company does not
have sufficient cash to pay its obligations, then with the approval of the Board
and Requisite Member Approval, any or all of

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Members may (but will have no obligation to) advance all or part of the
needed funds to or on behalf of the Company, which advances will constitute a
loan from such Member or Members to the Company, will bear interest and be
subject to such other terms and conditions as agreed between such Member or
Members and the Company and will not be deemed to be a Capital Contribution.

 

5.9                               Optional Capital Contributions. In addition to
Requested CapEx Contributions, the Board, with the Requisite Member Approval,
may request a Capital Contribution from the Members (an “Optional Capital Call”)
and the Eligible Members shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make a
Capital Contribution (an “Optional Capital Contribution”) in exchange for
Membership Interests or options or other rights to acquire Membership Interests,
whether through exchange, conversion or otherwise (collectively, the “New
Securities”) pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions set
forth in Section 7.7.

 

5.10                        No Requirement to Make Capital Contributions. Other
than each Eligible Member’s agreement to provide CapEx Contributions pursuant to
Section 5.2, Section 5.3 and/or Section 5.4, and then subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, (i) each of the Company and each Member
acknowledges and agrees that no Member is required to make any Capital
Contribution and (ii) no Member has made any representation, commitment or
agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing,
investment or other assistance. In addition, the Company and each Member
acknowledge and agree that (a) no statements made by any Member or its
representatives before, on or after the Effective Date shall create an
obligation to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or
investment, (b) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by any Member
or its representatives and (c) an obligation to provide or assist the Company in
obtaining any financing or investment may only be created by a written
agreement, signed by such Member and the Company, setting forth the terms and
conditions of such financing or investment and stating that the parties intend
for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement.

 

ARTICLE 6
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

 

6.1                               Distributions.

 

(a)                                       Each distribution made by the Company,
regardless of the source or character of the assets to be distributed, shall be
made in accordance with this Article 6 and applicable Law, including
Section 18-607 of the Act.

 

(b)                                       Notwithstanding the limitations on
distributions described in Section 6.1(c), on each Tax Distribution Date, the
Company shall, to the extent of Available Cash, distribute to each Member in
cash an amount equal to such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability, if any. The Board
will make its determination of the Assumed Tax Liability based upon its good
faith determination of the jurisdiction in which Members (or their owners, as
may be applicable) are subject to tax with respect to the income of the Company;
provided, that, for this purpose the Series A-2 Members will be treated as
individual residents of New York, New York. Distributions pursuant to this
Section 6.1(b) shall be treated as an advance distribution under
Section 6.1(c) or Section 12.3(b) and

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall offset future distributions that such holder of Units would otherwise be
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or Section 12.3(b). If on a Tax
Distribution Date there is not sufficient Available Cash on hand to distribute
to each Member the full amount of such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability,
distributions pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall be made to the Members to
the extent of Available Cash in proportion to each Member’s Assumed Tax
Liability, and the Company shall make future distributions as soon as funds
become available to pay the remaining portion of such Member’s Assumed Tax
Liability. If by reason of this Section 6.1(b) any Member receives aggregate
distributions greater than it would have otherwise received in the absence
hereof, then in connection with a Liquidation Event of the Company such Member
shall be obligated to return such excess distributions to the Company.

 

(c)                                        Subject to Section 6.1(b),
Section 6.1(d) and (with respect to distributions upon a Sale Transaction)
Section 12.3, Available Cash may only be distributed by the Company to the
Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests and at such times
as is determined by the Board, with Requisite Member Approval.

 

(d)                                       Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall
apply with respect to any Class B Common Unit(s) granted to a Person under any
Equity Award Agreement:

 

(i)                                     No Class B Common Unit shall participate
in any distributions under Section 6.1(c) or Section 12.3(b) until the
cumulative amount distributed prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the
Original Agreement (as previously amended) and after the Effective Date pursuant
to Section 6.1(c) and/or Section 12.3(b) with respect to other Units is equal to
the Baseline Value of such Class B Common Unit.

 

(ii)                                  Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Equity Award Agreement, any amount distributable to a Class B Member
pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 12.3(b) with respect to a Class B Common Unit
that has not yet vested (“Unvested Class B Unit”) pursuant to the terms of the
applicable Equity Award Agreement (an “Unvested Distribution Amount”) shall not
be paid over to such Class B Member until such Class B Common Unit vests
(“Vested Class B Unit”) in accordance with the applicable Equity Award
Agreement. All Unvested Distribution Amounts shall be held by the Company in a
segregated account until released to the applicable Class B Member in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Equity Award Agreement. If
any Class B Common Unit is forfeited or cancelled prior to vesting, any Unvested
Distribution Amounts held by the Company with respect to such Class B Common
Unit shall be forfeited and returned to the general accounts of the Company.

 

(iii)                               The Board shall have the discretion to make
any determinations required under this Section 6.1(d), including as to the
Baseline Value and the extent to which a Class B Common Unit is entitled to
participate in distributions pursuant to Section 6.1(c) and/or
Section 12.3(b) in order to achieve the

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

objectives of Section 3.1(b). The Board may amend this Section 6.1(d) upon the
issuance of any subclass of Class B Common Units to reflect the respective
rights of such subclass of Class B Common Units hereunder.

 

(iv)                              The holder of each such Class B Common Unit,
whether or not vested, shall be treated as a partner of the Company for U.S.
federal income tax purposes with respect to such Unit.

 

(e)                                        All distributions made under this
Section 6.1 shall be made to the holders of record of the applicable Membership
Interests on the record date established by the Board (which date may be before
or after such action by the Board) or, in the absence of any such record date,
to the holders of the applicable Membership Interests on the date of the
distribution.

 

(f)                                         Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Company may distribute securities in kind and the dollar value of securities
distributed in kind shall be determined as provided in the definition of Fair
Market Value.

 

(g)                                        Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the Company is authorized to take any action that may be
required to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code
or any other federal, state or local law including pursuant to Sections 1441,
1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code and any applicable non-U.S. Tax law. All amounts
withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or foreign
Tax law with respect to any allocation or distribution to any Member shall be
treated as amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to this Article 6 for all
purposes under this Agreement.

 

6.2                               Allocations of Profits and Losses and Other
Items.

 

(a)                                       Profit and Loss Allocations. After
giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 6.2(b), Profits and Losses
(and, to the extent necessary, items of income, gain, loss and deduction) for
each fiscal period shall be allocated among the Members during such fiscal
period, in such a manner as shall cause the Capital Accounts of the Members (as
adjusted to reflect all allocations set forth in Section 6.2(b)) and all
distributions through the end of such fiscal period) to equal, as nearly as
possible, (i) the amount such Members would receive if all assets of the Company
on hand at the end of such fiscal period were sold for cash equal to their Book
Values, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied in cash in accordance with
their terms (limited in the case of non-recourse liabilities to the Book Value
of the property securing such liabilities), and all remaining or resulting cash
(including any withheld amounts) were distributed to the Members under
Section 12.3(b) minus (ii) such Member’s share of Minimum Gain and Member
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical
sale of assets, and the amount any such Member is treated as obligated to
contribute to the Company, computed immediately after the hypothetical sale of
assets.

 

(b)                                       Special Allocations. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Section 6.2, the following special allocations
shall be made for each taxable period:

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 6.2, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any taxable
period, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such
period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) 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 6.2(b)(i), 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
Section 6.2(b) with respect to such taxable period. This Section 6.2(b)(i) is
intended to comply with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Section 6.2 (other than Section 6.2(b)(i)), if there is a net decrease in
Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt
during any taxable period, any Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt at the beginning of
such taxable period shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such
period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts
provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2)(ii). For
purposes of this Section 6.2(b)(ii), 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 Section 6.2(b), other than Section 6.2(b)(i), with respect to
such taxable period. This Section 6.2(b)(ii) 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.

 

(iii)                               In the event any Member unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income
and gain shall be specially 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 such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account created by
such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided,
however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(iii) shall be made
only if and to the extent that the Member would have such a deficit balance in
its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this
Section 6.2(a) have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.2(b)(iii) were
not in this Agreement. This Section 6.2(b)(iii) is intended to qualify and be
construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

 

(iv)                              In the event any Member has a deficit balance
in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any taxable period that is in
excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore under
this Agreement plus (ii) the

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate
sentence of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such
Member shall be specially 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 6.2(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the
extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account in
excess of such sum, after all other allocations provided in this Section 6.2
have been tentatively made as if Section 6.2(b)(iii) and this
Section 6.2(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

 

(v)                                 Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to
holders of Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interests.

 

(vi)                              Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable
period 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.

 

(vii)                           To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is
required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be
taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a
distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s interest in
the Company, the amount of such 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 such basis), and such item of 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
such provisions.

 

6.3                               Income Tax Allocations.

 

(a)                                       Except as provided in this
Section 6.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for
federal income tax purposes shall be allocated, to the maximum extent possible,
among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding items (if any) are
allocated for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts under Section 6.2.

 

(b)                                       The Members recognize that there may
be a difference between the Book Value of a Company asset and the asset’s
adjusted tax basis at the time of the property’s contribution or revaluation
pursuant to this Agreement. In such a case, all items of tax depreciation, cost
recovery, amortization, and gain or loss with respect to such asset shall be
allocated among the Members to take into account the disparities between the
Book Values and the adjusted tax basis with respect to such properties in
accordance with the

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

provisions of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations under those sections; provided, that, (i) the Company shall account
for any disparities relating to the contribution of property by MHR in the
initial contribution of the assets of Eureka Hunter Pipeline and Eureka Hunter
Land, LLC using the remedial method described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3(d), and
(ii) the Company shall account for any disparities resulting from the Effective
Date Transactions using the traditional method described in Treas. Reg. §
1.704-3(b).

 

(c)                                        All items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions
hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of
the Code which may be made by the Company; provided, however, that such
allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take
into account the adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

 

(d)                                       If any deductions for depreciation,
amortization or cost recovery are recaptured as ordinary income upon the sale or
other disposition of Company properties, the ordinary income character of the
gain from such sale or disposition shall be allocated among the Members in the
same ratio as the deductions giving rise to such ordinary income character were
allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.1245-1.

 

(e)                                        The Members’ proportionate shares of
the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company, within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated to the holders of
Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

 

(f)                                         Tax credits of the Company shall be
allocated among the Members as provided in Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-(b)(4)(iii) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii).

 

(g)                                        Allocations pursuant to this
Section 6.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and
except as specifically provided shall not affect, or in any way be taken into
account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses,
other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

 

6.4                               Other Allocation Rules. All items of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to an interest in the Company that
may have been transferred shall be allocated between the transferor and the
transferee based on the portion of the fiscal year during which each was
recognized as the owner of such interest, without regard to the results of
Company operations during any particular portion of that calendar year and
without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the transferor or the
transferee during that year; provided, however, that this allocation must be
made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 706 and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, allocations
relating to the transactions described in the ArcLight UPA shall be based on the
interim closing of the books. If any Membership Interests are Disposed of or
redeemed in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, all distributions
with respect to which the record date is before the date of such Disposition or
redemption shall be made to the disposing Member, and all

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

distributions with respect to which the record date is after the date of such
Disposition, in the case of a Disposition other than a redemption, shall be made
to the transferee.

 

ARTICLE 7
CERTAIN COVENANTS RELATING TO ISSUANCES AND DISPOSITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS
AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

 

7.1                               General Restrictions on, and Other Terms
Relating to, Dispositions of Membership Interests.

 

(a)                                       Dispositions of Membership Interests
otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement may only be made in compliance
with applicable foreign, U.S. federal and state securities laws, including the
Securities Act and the Act.

 

(b)                                       Except in connection with an IPO, for
so long as the Company is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in
no event may any Disposition of any Membership Interests by any Member be made
if such Disposition is effectuated through an “established securities market” or
a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning
of Section 7704 of the Code or if such Disposition would otherwise result in the
Company being treated as a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is
defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.

 

(c)                                        Dispositions of Membership Interests
may only be made in strict compliance with all applicable provisions of this
Agreement, and any purported Disposition of Membership Interests that does not
comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement shall be null and void
and of no force or effect, and the Company shall not recognize or be bound by
any such purported Disposition and shall not effect any such purported
Disposition on the transfer books of the Company or Capital Accounts of the
Members. The Members agree that the restrictions contained in this Article 7 are
fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Members.

 

(d)                                       Subject to the proviso at the end of
this sentence, if any Person shall acquire any Series A-1 Units or Series A-2
Units, such Units shall continue to be designated as Series A-1 Units or
Series A-2 Units, as the case may be, after giving effect to such acquisition;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Series A-1 Member
acquires any Series A-2 Units, such Series A-2 Units shall automatically become
a like number of Series A-1 Units and if a Series A-2 Member acquires any
Series A-1 Units, such Series A-1 Units shall automatically become a like number
of Series A-2 Units and, upon any such acquisition of Units, the Company shall
update the Members’ Schedule to reflect the foregoing.

 

(e)                                        Each Member that is an entity agrees
that it will not permit a Disposition of Equity Interests in such Member if any
such Disposition (an “Indirect Disposition”) is made with the intent to
circumvent the provisions of this ARTICLE 7; provided, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following shall not
be deemed to be an Indirect Disposition subject to the provisions of this

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Agreement: (i) any Disposition of Equity Interests in a private equity fund or
affiliated funds or any Disposition to direct or indirect limited partners or
other equityholders thereof, (ii) any Indirect Disposition whereby the Fair
Market Value of the Membership Interests held by the Member that is the subject
of the Indirect Disposition (as such Fair Market Value is determined by such
Member in good faith) constitutes less than 80% of the Fair Market Value of all
assets being directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred in connection
with such Indirect Disposition, (iii) any restructuring of the Initial MSI
Member (or its Affiliates) which involves the other portfolio investments of the
Initial MSI Member (or its Affiliates) and/or (iv) direct or indirect
Dispositions of Equity Interests of MHR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member
may consummate an Indirect Disposition so long as such Member provides the
Eligible Members with a right of first offer substantially similar to the ROFO
Right described in Section 7.3.

 

7.2                               Restrictions on Dispositions of Membership
Interests.

 

(a)                                       Disposition of Membership Interests. A
Disposition of Units may only be made if (1) such Disposition complies with the
provisions of Section 7.1 and (2) such Disposition is:

 

(i)                                     made to a Permitted Transferee of the
Disposing Member;

 

(ii)                                  made in connection with a ROFO Disposition
in accordance with Section 7.3;

 

(iii)                               made in connection with a Drag-Along
Transaction in accordance with Section 7.4;

 

(iv)                              made in connection with a Tag-Along Sale in
accordance with Section 7.5;

 

(v)                                 made in connection with an IPO in accordance
with Section 7.6, Section 10.7 or Sections 8.2 and 8.4; or

 

(vi)                              a Disposition made to the Company (or
applicable transferee) pursuant to an Equity Award Agreement.

 

7.3                               Right of First Offer. If any Member desires to
effect a Disposition of all or a portion of such Member’s Units (such Member,
the “ROFO Offeror”) in a Disposition other than an Excluded ROFO Disposition,
then each Eligible Member shall have a right of first offer (a “ROFO Right”)
with respect to such Disposition (a “ROFO Disposition”) in accordance with the
following provisions:

 

(a)                                       The ROFO Offeror shall deliver written
notice of its desire to effect such ROFO Disposition (the “ROFO Notice”) to the
Company and each Eligible Member. The last date that the ROFO Notice is received
by any Eligible Member shall constitute the “ROFO Notice Date.” The ROFO Notice
shall include the number of each series of Units that the ROFO Offeror desires
to Dispose (the “ROFO Units”).

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)                                       Following receipt of the ROFO Notice,
each Eligible Member shall have the right (but not the obligation) for a period
of 30 days (such period, the “ROFO Offering Period”) to propose a cash purchase
price for all of the ROFO Units, along with all other terms and conditions
applicable to the Disposition. Such proposed (if any) price and any such terms
and conditions shall be delivered by an Eligible Member to the ROFO Offeror in a
written notice (the “Offer Notice”) within the ROFO Offering Period. The
delivery of an Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable commitment (subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice) for a period of 30
days following delivery of such Offer Notice (the “ROFO Commitment Period”) to
purchase all ROFO Units. If the ROFO Offeror desires in its sole discretion to
accept the most favorable offer (taken as a whole) and as determined by the ROFO
Offeror in good faith based on purchase price and terms and conditions offered
by any Eligible Member set forth in any Offer Notice (the “Offer”), the ROFO
Offeror shall so notify such Eligible Member (the “Buyer Member”) of its
acceptance of the Offer (the “Acceptance Notice”). The delivery of an Acceptance
Notice prior to the expiration of the ROFO Commitment Period shall constitute an
irrevocable commitment to sell all the ROFO Units to the Buyer Member and an
irrevocable commitment by the Buyer Member to buy all the ROFO Units from the
ROFO Offeror, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
in the Offer Notice. The Acceptance Notice shall include a reasonable place and
time for the closing of the purchase and sale of the ROFO Units, which shall be
not less than five Business Days nor more than 15 Business Days after the
delivery of the Acceptance Notice (subject to extension to the extent necessary
to pursue any required regulatory approvals, including to allow for the
expiration or termination of all waiting periods under the HSR Act) unless
otherwise agreed in writing by all of the parties to such transaction. If a
Buyer Member breaches its obligation to purchase the ROFO Units, such Buyer
Member and its Affiliated Members shall (without limiting the remedies of the
ROFO Offeror against the Buyer Member for its breach) lose all further rights to
deliver an Offer Notice with respect to any future Disposition under this
Section 7.3(b).

 

(c)                                        During the period beginning on the
expiration of the ROFO Offering Period (if no Acceptance Notice has been
provided in accordance with Section 7.3(b)) and ending 270 days following the
end of the ROFO Offering Period (the “Solicitation Period”), the ROFO Offeror
may solicit offers from Third Parties for the ROFO Units. Upon receipt of an
offer from a Third Party that includes a purchase price that is greater than the
highest purchase price proposed in any Offer Notice received by the ROFO Offeror
pursuant to Section 7.3(b) (a “Qualifying Third Party Offer”), the ROFO Offeror
may Dispose all of the ROFO Units to such Third Party (the “Third Party
Transferee”) within 60 days following expiration of the Solicitation Period (the
“ROFO Sale Period”) at such purchase price (but not equal to or less than the
highest purchase price proposed in any Offer Notice received by the ROFO Offeror
pursuant to Section 7.3(b)) and under such terms and conditions as may be agreed
between the ROFO Offeror and the Third Party Transferee, subject to compliance
with Section 7.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ROFO Offeror may not accept
an offer, and such offer will not be considered a Qualifying Third Party Offer,
if such offer contains provisions related to any property of the ROFO Offeror
other than Units held by the ROFO Offeror. For the avoidance of doubt, for
purposes of determining whether an offer from a Third Party is a Qualifying

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Third Party Offer, all noncash consideration shall be deemed to have a dollar
value equal to the Fair Market Value of such consideration as determined in
accordance with the applicable provisions in the definition of Fair Market
Value.

 

(d)                                       If the ROFO Units are not Disposed
within the ROFO Sale Period pursuant to a Qualifying Third Party Offer or to an
Eligible Member pursuant to an Acceptance Notice, the ROFO Offeror may not
Dispose any of the ROFO Units without again complying in full with the
provisions of this Section 7.3.

 

(e)                                        Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 7.3, in the event of any Disposition of Series A-1
Units by any Minority Owner, MHR and the Initial MSI Member shall each have the
right (but not the obligation) to acquire an equal number of such Series A-1
Units for the same price per Series A-1 Unit, and on the same terms and
conditions, except that (i) the Series A-1 Units acquired by MHR shall remain
Series A-1 Units and (ii) the Series A-1 Units acquired by the Initial MSI
Member shall be automatically converted for all purposes into an equal number of
Series A-2 Units.

 

(f)                                         The ROFO Right shall not apply with
respect to any of the following Dispositions (each an “Excluded ROFO
Disposition”):

 

(i)                                     a Disposition made to a Permitted
Transferee of the Disposing Member;

 

(ii)                                  a Disposition made in connection with a
Tag-Along Sale in accordance with Section 7.5;

 

(iii)                               a Disposition made in connection with an IPO
in accordance with Section 7.6, Section 10.7 or Sections 8.2 and 8.4; or

 

(iv)                              a Disposition made to the Company (or
applicable transferee) pursuant to an Equity Award Agreement.

 

7.4                               Drag-Along Rights.

 

(a)                                       At any time from and after the fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date (and prior to a Sale Transaction or Qualified
Public Offering), the Series A-2 Majority may initiate a Sale Transaction in
compliance with this Section 7.4 (“A Drag-Along Transaction”). The Series A-2
Member or Series A-2 Members initiating a Drag-Along Transaction pursuant to
this Section 7.4(a) are referred to as the “Drag Initiating Members.” Any action
or determination to be made by the Drag Initiating Members may be made by the
one or more Drag Initiating Members that constitute a majority of the Series A-2
Units held by all Drag Initiating Members.

 

(b)                                       In connection with any Drag-Along
Transaction initiated pursuant to Section 7.4(a), and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 7.4, all holders of Membership Interests
entitled to consent thereto hereby (and shall promptly, if required by the Drag
Initiating Members) consent in writing to and raise no objections

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

against the consummation of the Drag-Along Transaction, and if the Drag-Along
Transaction is structured as (i) a consolidation, merger or other business
combination, or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, each holder of Membership
Interests entitled to vote thereon shall vote in favor of the Drag-Along
Transaction and shall waive any appraisal rights or similar rights in connection
with such consolidation, merger, other business combination or asset sale or
(ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Membership Interests, each holder
of Membership Interests hereby agrees (and, if required by the Drag Initiating
Members, shall promptly agree in writing) to sell all of his or its Membership
Interests that are the subject of the Drag-Along Transaction, on the terms and
conditions of such Drag-Along Transaction. The holders of Membership Interests
shall promptly take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the
consummation of the Drag-Along Transaction reasonably requested by the Drag
Initiating Members, including the execution of such agreements and such other
instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (A) provide
representations, warranties, indemnities, and escrow or holdback arrangements
relating to such Drag-Along Transaction, in each case to the extent that each
other holder of Membership Interests is similarly obligated; and (B) effectuate
the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon the
Drag-Along Transaction as set forth in Section 7.4(c) (with any noncash
consideration determined as of the closing date of the Drag Along Transaction).
The holders of Membership Interests shall be permitted to sell their Membership
Interests pursuant to any Drag-Along Transaction without complying with any
other provisions of this ARTICLE 7.

 

(c)                                        The obligations of the holders of
Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 7.4 are subject to the following
terms and conditions:

 

(i)                                     upon the consummation of the Drag-Along
Transaction, each holder of Membership Interests shall receive the same
proportion of the aggregate consideration from such Drag-Along Transaction that
such holder would have received if such aggregate consideration had been
distributed by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and
preferences set forth in Section 12.3(b) (i.e., net of debts and liabilities of
the Company and its Subsidiaries) as in effect immediately prior to such
Drag-Along Transaction;

 

(ii)                                  the Company shall bear the reasonable,
documented costs incurred in connection with any Drag-Along Transaction (costs
incurred by or on behalf of any holder of Membership Interests for its sole
benefit will not be considered costs of the Drag-Along Transaction) unless
otherwise agreed by the Company (as approved by the Board) and the acquiror, in
which case no holder of Membership Interests shall be obligated to make any
out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Drag-Along
Transaction (excluding modest expenditures for postage, copies, and the like)
and no holder of Membership Interests shall be obligated to pay any portion (or,
if paid, shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for that portion
paid) that is more than its pro rata share (based upon the amount of
consideration received by such holder in the Drag-Along Transaction) of
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

consummated Drag-Along Transaction for the benefit of all holders of Membership
Interests and are not otherwise paid by the Company or another Person; and

 

(iii)                               if some or all of the consideration received
in connection with the Drag-Along Transaction is other than cash, then such
consideration shall be deemed to have a dollar value equal to the Fair Market
Value of such consideration as determined in accordance with the applicable
provisions in the definition of Fair Market Value.

 

(d)                                       Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 7.4, if the consideration proposed to be paid to the
holders of Membership Interests in a Drag-Along Transaction includes securities
with respect to which no registration statement covering the issuance of such
securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act, then each of
the holders of Membership Interests that is not then an Accredited Investor
(without regard to Rule 501(a)(4)) may be required, at the request and election
of the Drag Initiating Members, to (i) at the cost of the Company, appoint a
purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the
Securities Act) reasonably acceptable to such requesting holders or (ii) accept
cash in lieu of any securities such non-Accredited Investor would otherwise
receive in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to
Section 7.4(c)(iii)) of such securities.

 

7.5                               Tag-Along Right. If any Member (other than any
Series A-2 Member) desires to effect a Disposition of all or a portion of such
Member’s Units (such Member, the “Transferor”) in a Disposition other than an
Excluded Tag Disposition, then, subject to compliance with Section 7.3 relating
to the ROFO Right, each Eligible Member shall have a tag along right (a “Tag
Right”) with respect to such Disposition (a “Tag-Along Sale”) in accordance with
the following provisions:

 

(a)                                       The Transferor shall give notice (a
“Tag-Along Notice”) to each Eligible Member of any Tag-Along Sale, setting forth
the number of Common Units that the Transferor desires to Dispose (the “Tag
Units”), the name and address of the Third Party Transferee, the proposed amount
and form of consideration for the Tag Units and any other material terms and
conditions of the Tag-Along Sale, including a copy of the executed purchase and
sale agreement or other similar agreement relating to such sale (the “Tag-Along
Offer”).

 

(b)                                       Each Eligible Member shall have a
period of ten (10) Business Days (the “Tag Election Period”) from the date of
its receipt of the Tag-Along Notice within which to elect to exercise its Tag
Right (each exercising Eligible Member, a “Tag Offeree”) by delivery of an
irrevocable written notice to the Transferor specifying the number of Common
Units such Tag Offeree desires to include in the Tag-Along Sale (a “Tag Election
Notice”), up to the total number of Common Units held by such Tag Offeree
multiplied by the Transferor Requested Percentage.

 

(c)                                        Promptly following the expiration of
the Tag Election Period, the following procedures shall apply:

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i)                                     first, the Transferor shall notify the
Third Party Transferee of the number of Requested Units;

 

(ii)                                  next, the Transferor shall determine
whether the Third Party Transferee is willing to purchase all of the Requested
Units. If the Third Party Transferee is unwilling to purchase all of the
Requested Units, then the Transferor shall determine what percentage of
Requested Units such Third Party Transferee is willing to purchase in the
aggregate (the “Purchased Percentage”) and the number of Requested Units that
the Transferor and each of the exercising Tag Offerees otherwise would have sold
shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on the respective total numbers of
Common Units that such holders desired to sell as compared to the total numbers
of Common Units to be purchased by the Third Party Transferee) so as to permit
the Transferor and the Tag Offerees to sell in the aggregate a number of Common
Units equal to the total number of Requested Units multiplied by the Purchased
Percentage (the “Purchased Units”).

 

(d)                                       At the time (subject to extension to
the extent necessary to pursue any required regulatory approvals, including to
allow for the expiration or termination of all waiting periods under the HSR
Act) and place provided for the closing in the Tag-Along Offer, or at such other
time and place as the Tag Offerees, the Transferor and the Third Party
Transferee shall agree, the Tag Offerees and the Transferor shall sell to the
Third Party Transferee all of the Purchased Units.

 

(e)                                        Each Tag-Along Sale shall be upon
terms and conditions, if any, not more favorable individually and in the
aggregate to the purchaser than those in the Tag-Along Offer and the Tag-Along
Notice and upon the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, each holder of
Purchased Units (as determined immediately prior to the consummation of such
Tag-Along Sale) shall receive the consideration specified in Section 7.5(f).
Each Tag Offeree shall agree (i) to make the same representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Third Party Transferee as made by
the Transferor in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (provided, that, a Tag
Offeree shall not be required to make any covenants or agreements regarding
non-competition, non-solicitation or other similar restrictions on the future
business opportunities of any such Tag Offeree) and (ii) to the same terms and
conditions to the Tag-Along Sale as the Transferor agrees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities
and agreements shall be made by the Transferor and each Tag Offeree severally
and not jointly, and any liability for breach of any such representations and
warranties related to the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be allocated among
the Transferor and each Tag Offeree pro rata based on the relative amount of
consideration received by each of them in such Tag-Along Sale, and the aggregate
amount of liability for the Transferor and each Tag Offeree shall not exceed the
value of the total consideration to be paid by the Third Party Transferee to the
Transferor and such Tag Offeree.

 

(f)                                         Upon the consummation of a Tag-Along
Sale, each holder of Purchased Units shall receive a portion of the aggregate
consideration for the Purchased Units sold

 

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

pursuant to a Tag-Along Sale on a pro rata basis (based on the respective total
number of Purchased Units that such holder sold as compared to the total number
of Purchased Units purchased by the Third Party Transferee and the aggregate
consideration paid in respect of such Purchased Units); provided, that, if the
Tag-Along Sale is a Sale Transaction, the consideration shall be allocated in
accordance with Section 12.3(b).

 

(g)                                        If any Tag Offeree, or indirect owner
of a Tag Offeree, has a structure where it holds all or a portion of its Units,
directly or indirectly, through one or more single purpose entities that is
taxed as a corporation for United States income tax purposes and formed under
the laws of the United States (a “Blocker Corporation”), at the request of any
such Tag Offeree, the Company will (and the Company will cause its Subsidiaries
to) use commercially reasonable efforts to structure the Tag-Along Sale in a
manner that permits such Tag Offeree to Dispose of its Units through the sale of
shares of the Blocker Corporation, provided that any purchase price discount
resulting from a sale of interests in a Blocker Corporation will be borne solely
by the owners of such Blocker Corporation.

 

(h)                                       In the event that the Company issues
Units other than Common Units, the Company and Members agree to amend this
Agreement to provide the Series A-2 Members an appropriate Tag Right with
respect thereto.

 

(i)                                           The Tag Right shall not apply with
respect to any of the following Dispositions (each an “Excluded Tag
Disposition”):

 

(i)                                     a Disposition made to a Permitted
Transferee of the Disposing Member;

 

(ii)                                  a Disposition made in connection with an
IPO in accordance with Section 7.6, Section 10.7 or Sections 8.2 and 8.4;

 

(iii)                               a Disposition made by a Series A-2 Member;
or

 

(iv)                              a Disposition made to the Company (or
applicable transferee) pursuant to an Equity Award Agreement.

 

7.6                               Qualified Public Offering.

 

(a)                                       A Qualified Public Offering may be
initiated with Series A-2 Approval. The Member or Members initiating a Qualified
Public Offering pursuant to this Section 7.6(a) are referred to as the “IPO
Initiating Members.” Any action or determination to be made by the IPO
Initiating Members may be made by the one or more IPO Initiating Members that
constitute a majority of the Series A-2 Units held by all IPO Initiating
Members.

 

(b)                                       In connection with any proposed
Qualified Public Offering approved in accordance with Section 7.6(a) of this
Agreement, if required by the IPO Initiating Members, the outstanding Membership
Interests may be exchanged in accordance with this Section 7.6 (the “IPO
Exchange”) into equity securities of the IPO Issuer and/or its

 

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

general partner (“IPO Securities”) as reasonably determined by the IPO
Initiating Members; provided, that, each Class A Member shall receive the same
proportion of each type (e.g., class, series, etc.) of IPO Securities of the IPO
Issuer and its general partner (if applicable). In connection with any IPO
Exchange, each outstanding Membership Interest will be exchanged for IPO
Securities such that each holder of Membership Interests will receive IPO
Securities having a value equal to the amount that such holder would have
received if, immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Public
Offering, all of the Company’s assets had been sold for their Fair Market Values
and the resulting amount had been distributed by the Company pursuant to the
rights and preferences set forth in Section 12.3(b) as in effect immediately
prior to such distribution assuming that all Unvested Class B Units were Vested
Class B Units and therefor entitled to all Unvested Distribution Amounts with
respect to such Unvested Class B Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

(i)                                     in making the determination of the Fair
Market Value of the Company’s assets described in the second sentence in this
Section 7.6(b), the IPO Initiating Members shall take into account the offering
price per Publicly Offered Security in the Qualified Public Offering, net of any
underwriting discounts and commissions;

 

(ii)                                  any IPO Securities issued with respect to
Unvested Class B Common Units shall remain subject to any applicable vesting in
accordance with, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement and the
applicable Equity Award Agreements;

 

(iii)                               if the IPO Securities will include multiple
classes of securities (including any subordinated interests, general partner
interest or incentive distribution rights) in the IPO Issuer or its general
partner, then the IPO Exchange shall be structured in a manner such that each
holder of Membership Interests receives substantially the same proportionate
share of the Publicly Offered Securities and of each such other class of
securities, or otherwise shares proportionately the economic benefits of such
class of securities, as each other holder of Membership Interests (taking into
account the amount that would be received by each such holder in the
hypothetical Liquidation Event described in the second sentence in this
Section 7.6(b)); and

 

(iv)                              if the distribution described in the second
sentence in this Section 7.6(b) would result in the holders of Class B Common
Units receiving no amount upon such a hypothetical Liquidation Event, then the
IPO Initiating Members may determine to have such Class B Common Units cancelled
for no consideration.

 

(c)                                        If, in connection with the IPO
Exchange, the IPO Initiating Members reasonably determine that it is advisable
to have the holders of the Membership Interests contribute all of the Membership
Interests to the IPO Issuer in one or a series of transactions pursuant to an
agreement that provides for the exchange of Membership Interests into IPO
Securities of such Person or Persons (with the amount of IPO Securities

 

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to be received by each such holder being determined in accordance with this
Section 7.6), each holder of Membership Interests agrees to participate in such
an exchange. For the sake of clarity, the IPO Initiating Members may elect, in
connection with a proposed Qualified Public Offering where a Subsidiary of the
Company or another entity that is not the Company or its successor is the IPO
Issuer, not to cause an IPO Exchange in connection therewith and, to the extent
such an IPO Exchange does not occur, this Agreement may continue in effect after
a Qualified Public Offering in accordance with its terms.

 

(d)                                       Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, at any time after the approval of a Qualified Public
Offering in accordance with this Agreement, the IPO Initiating Members, shall be
entitled to approve the transaction or transactions to effect the IPO Exchange
and to take all such other actions as are required or necessary to facilitate
the Qualified Public Offering including: (i) determining the terms of the
organizational documents of the IPO Issuer and its general partner; (ii) forming
any entities required or necessary in connection with the Qualified Public
Offering; (iii) transferring or causing to be transferred any assets between or
among the Company, the IPO Issuer and any of the Company’s Subsidiaries; and
(iv) subject to Section 13.5, amending the terms of this Agreement, in each case
without the consent or approval of any other Person (including the Board). If
IPO Initiating Members elect to exercise rights to initiate a Qualified Public
Offering under this Section 7.6, in addition to, and without limitation of, the
covenants set forth in Section 7.9, each of the Members and the Board shall (and
shall cause Affiliates of MHR to) (i) take such actions as may be reasonably
requested in connection with consummating the IPO Exchange, including (x) such
actions as are required to transfer all of the issued and outstanding Membership
Interests or assets of the Company to an IPO Issuer or its general partner
(including a Blocker Corporation) and (y) such actions as may be required in
order to merge or consolidate the Company into or with an IPO Issuer or its
general partner and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) subject to
clause (B) of this sentence, cooperate with the other Members so that the IPO
Exchange is undertaken in a tax-efficient manner for the Members and (B) if any
Institutional Investor or its limited partners or investors has a structure
involving ownership of all or a portion of its interests in the Company,
directly or indirectly, through one or more Blocker Corporations, at the request
of such Institutional Investor and with Series A-2 Approval, merge its Blocker
Corporation into the IPO Issuer in a transaction described in Section 351 of the
Code for each Member and utilize any such Blocker Corporation as the IPO Issuer.

 

(e)                                        Each Member shall sell any fractional
Publicly Offered Securities owned by such party (after taking into account all
Publicly Offered Securities held by such party) to the IPO Issuer upon the
request of the Company in connection with or in anticipation of the consummation
of a Qualified Public Offering, for cash consideration equal to the Fair Market
Value of such fractional securities.

 

(f)                                         Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 7.6, if no registration statement covering the issuance
of the IPO Securities to the Members in the IPO Exchange has been declared
effective under the Securities Act, then each of the

 

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Members that is not then an Accredited Investor (without regard to
Rule 501(a)(4)) may be required, at the request and election of the IPO
Initiating Members, to (i) at the cost of the Company, appoint a purchaser
representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)
reasonably acceptable to such Members or (ii) agree to accept cash in lieu of
any IPO Securities such Member would otherwise receive in an amount equal to the
Fair Market Value of such IPO Securities as determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions in the definition of Fair Market Value.

 

(g)                                        If so requested by any Series A-2
Member, the certificate of incorporation (if the IPO Issuer is a corporation) or
other organizational documents (if the IPO Issuer is a Person other than a
corporation) of the IPO Issuer shall include a provision substantially the same
as Section 8.5 hereof.

 

7.7                               Preemptive Rights.

 

(a)                                       Other than in respect of an Excluded
Issuance, if the Board, with the Requisite Member Approval, (x) makes an
Optional Capital Call or (y) proposes to issue New Securities to a proposed
third party purchaser (the “Third Party Purchaser”), each Eligible Member shall
have the right to purchase the number of New Securities as provided in this
Section 7.7. “Excluded Issuance” means the issuance, subject to approval of the
Board and Requisite Member Approval (except to the extent not required in the
case of Approved Projects in accordance with Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 or De
Minimis Projects in accordance with Section 5.4), of:

 

(i)                                     options to purchase Membership
Interests, restricted Membership Interest awards, performance awards, phantom
Membership Interests or other Membership Interest-based awards pursuant to any
Equity Award Agreement;

 

(ii)                                  Membership Interests, restricted or
phantom Membership Interests, profits interests or other securities issued to
any Person as consideration in any acquisition or other strategic transaction
(such as a joint venture, marketing or distribution arrangement, or technology
transfer or development arrangement) approved in accordance with this Agreement;

 

(iii)                               Membership Interests issued or to be issued
in respect of CapEx Contributions in accordance with Section 5.3, Section 5.4
and/or Section 5.5;

 

(iv)                              Membership Interests issued in connection with
any split, distribution or recapitalization of the Company; or

 

(v)                                 any Equity Interests issued by the Company
in an underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed
under the Securities Act (or other applicable foreign securities laws governing
such issuance) and approved by the IPO Initiating Members pursuant to
Section 7.6 or by the Board with Requisite Member Approval.

 

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)                                       With respect to any issuance of New
Securities (including pursuant to any Optional Capital Contribution), the
Company shall, not less than 15 and not more than 30 days prior to such proposed
issuance of New Securities (and requested date for such Optional Capital
Contribution) (the “Preemptive Rights Closing Date”), provide a written notice
to each Eligible Member (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”), which notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the proposed terms and conditions of such issuance
and shall offer to each Eligible Member the opportunity to purchase its Pro Rata
Share (which Pro Rata Share shall be calculated as of the date of such notice)
of the New Securities in accordance with this Section 7.7. If any Eligible
Member wishes to exercise its preemptive rights, it must do so by delivering an
irrevocable written notice to the Company within 15 days after delivery by the
Company of the Preemptive Rights Notice (the “Preemptive Right Election
Period”), which notice shall state the dollar amount of New Securities such
Eligible Member (each a “Requesting Purchaser”) would like to purchase up to a
maximum amount equal to such Eligible Member’s Pro Rata Share of the total
offering amount plus the additional dollar amount of New Securities such
Requesting Purchaser would like to purchase in excess of its Pro Rata Share (the
“Over-Allotment Amount”), if any, if other Eligible Members do not elect to
purchase their full Pro Rata Share of the New Securities. The rights of each
Requesting Purchaser to purchase a dollar amount of New Securities in excess of
each such Requesting Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the New Securities shall be
allocated among those Requesting Purchasers desiring Over-Allotment Amounts in a
manner determined in writing by such Requesting Purchasers (or, in the absence
of agreement by such Requesting Purchasers, on a pro rata basis in relation to
the Over-Allotment Amounts of the Requesting Purchasers).

 

(c)                                        In the case of a proposed issuance to
a Third Party Purchaser, if not all of the New Securities are subscribed for by
the Eligible Members, the Company shall have the right, but shall not be
required, to issue and sell the unsubscribed portion of the New Securities to
the Third Party Purchaser at any time during the 90 days following the
termination of the Preemptive Right Election Period pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice. The Board, with Requisite
Member Approval, may, in its discretion, impose such other reasonable and
customary terms and procedures such as setting a closing date, rounding the
number of Membership Interests covered by this Section 7.7 to the nearest whole
interest and requiring customary closing deliveries in connection with any
preemptive rights offering.

 

(d)                                       On the Preemptive Rights Closing Date,
each Requesting Purchaser (and, if applicable, Third Party Purchaser) shall make
a Capital Contribution to the Company in exchange for the applicable New
Securities on the same terms as such New Securities are issued to any other
Requesting Purchaser (and, if applicable, Third Party Purchaser); provided,
that, if all or a portion of the New Securities are Class A Common Units,
(i) the Series A-1 Members and the Third Party Purchaser (to the extent such
Third Party Purchaser is not a Series A-2 Member) shall receive Series A-1 Units
in respect of such New Securities that are Class A Common Units and (ii) the
Series A-2 Members shall receive Series A-2 Units in respect of such New
Securities that are Class A Common Units.

 

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

7.8                               Registration Rights. At or prior to the
consummation of any IPO, the Series A-2 Members, MHR and the IPO Issuer shall
enter into a registration rights agreement in customary form consistent with the
terms and provisions set forth in Schedule III.

 

7.9                               Cooperation. In the case of a Qualified Public
Offering or a Disposition of Membership Interests by a Series A-2 Member or
indirect disposition of Series A-2 Units held by any Person (the IPO Initiating
Members and/or the disposing Persons, collectively, “Subject Persons”)
(including pursuant to a Drag-Along Transaction, Tag-Along Sale or Qualified
Public Offering), the Subject Persons shall have the right in connection with
such a potential transaction (or in connection with the investigation or
consideration of any such potential transaction) to require MHR and Affiliates
of MHR, the Company and its Subsidiaries (and to cause their employees, service
providers and advisors) to cooperate fully with such Subject Persons and
potential acquirors (and their respective advisors and lenders) with respect to
such potential transaction, including by expeditiously and in good faith
negotiating and entering into a customary underwriting agreement, delivering
lock-up letters, obtaining regulatory and other approvals and taking all
customary and other actions reasonably requested by such Subject Persons or such
potential acquirors and/or underwriters, including making the properties, books
and records and other assets relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries
reasonably available for inspection, creating and providing information about
the Company and its Subsidiaries, establishing a physical or electronic data
room including materials customarily made available to potential acquirors
and/or underwriters or lenders in connection with such processes and making its
officers and employees, service providers and consultants reasonably available
for presentations, site visits, road shows, interviews, drafting sessions and
other diligence activities. In addition, the IPO Initiating Members (in
connection with a Qualified Public Offering) and the Drag Initiating Members (in
connection with a Drag-Along Transaction) shall be entitled to take all
reasonably necessary actions on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries with
respect to such transaction, including selecting an investment bank and/or
underwriters, providing confidential information, selecting the winning bidder
and negotiating the requisite documentation. MHR and the Company shall (and
shall cause their respective Affiliates to) promptly provide assistance with
respect to these actions as reasonably requested. All costs and expenses of the
Company and all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any
Class A Member in connection with complying with this Section 7.9 shall be borne
by the Company.

 

7.10                        Specific Performance. Each Member acknowledges that
it shall be inadequate or impossible, or both, to measure in money the damage to
the Company or the Members if any of them or any transferee or any legal
representative of any party hereto fails to comply with any of the restrictions
or obligations imposed by this Article 7, that every such restriction and
obligation is material, and that in the event of any such failure, the Company
or the Members shall not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages.
Therefore, each Member consents to the issuance of an injunction or the
enforcement of other equitable remedies against such Member at the suit of an
aggrieved party without the posting of any bond or other security, to compel
specific performance of all of the terms of this Article 7 and to prevent any
Disposition of Membership Interests in contravention of any terms of this
Article 7, and waives any defenses thereto, including the defenses of
(a) failure of consideration, (b) breach of any other provision of this
Agreement and (c) availability of relief in monetary damages.

7.11                        Termination Following IPO. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Article 7, the provisions of this Article 7 (other than
Sections 7.9 through this Section 7.11) shall terminate and be of no further
force or effect upon the consummation of an IPO.

 

ARTICLE 8

8.1                               Management Under Direction of the Board.

 

(a)                                       General Authority. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement that provides for voting, consent and/or
other rights for any Member (and, with respect to the Members, subject to
applicable regulatory limitations or requirements), the board of managers (the
“Board,” and each member of the Board, a “Manager”), shall have full, exclusive
and complete discretion to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, to make all decisions affecting the business and
affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to take all such actions as it
deems necessary, advisable or appropriate to accomplish the purposes and direct
the actions of the Company and its Subsidiaries as set forth in Section 2.4.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided herein, no Manager in his or
her individual capacity shall have the authority to manage the Company and its
Subsidiaries or approve matters relating to, or otherwise to bind the Company or
its Subsidiaries, such powers being reserved to the Managers acting pursuant to
Section 8.2(e) through the Board and to such agents of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as designated by the Board.

 

(b)                                       Budgets. The Officers shall propose to
the Board at least 60 days before the beginning of each fiscal year and present
to the Board, at least 30 days before the beginning of each fiscal year of the
Company, in each case, ending on or after December 31, 2014, a reasonably
detailed consolidated annual capital expenditure budget and operating
expenditure budget of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the upcoming fiscal
year. Such budgets shall be subject to approval in accordance with Section 8.2
and Section 8.4(b). The capital expenditure and operating expenditure budgets
for any such fiscal year described herein, as so approved by the Board with
Requisite Member Approval, are referred to as a “CapEx Budget” and an “Operating
Budget”, respectively, and collectively as an “Annual Budget.” In the event that
the approval of the Board and Requisite Member Approval are not obtained for a
fiscal year, (i) the Operating Budget for such fiscal year shall be deemed to be
the Operating Budget of the prior fiscal year, increased by 3% with respect to
the operating expenses described therein (a “Deadlock Budget”) and (ii) there
shall not be a CapEx Budget for such fiscal year (until such later time (if at
all) that such capital expenditure budget is approved by the Board and with
Requisite Member Approval). Each Operating Budget shall at a minimum include
line items for (A) field operating expenses and (B) selling, general and
administrative expenses ((A) and (B), each a “General OpEx Line Item”), along
with such other line items determined by the Board with Requisite Member
Approval. Each CapEx Budget shall include a line item for (x) Permitted Early
Stage CapEx and (y) Permitted CapEx Overage, unless otherwise determined by the
Board with Requisite Member Approval. The capital expenditure and operating
budgets for fiscal year 2014 are set forth on Schedule IV and

 

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

such budgets shall constitute the Operating Budget, CapEx Budget and Annual
Budget for fiscal year 2014.

 

8.2                               Board of Managers.

 

(a)                                       Composition; Initial Managers. The
Board shall consist of not less than five and not more than eight Managers, with
the specific number of Managers at any given time, determined as provided in
this Section 8.2.

 

(i)                                     During the Interim Period, the Board
shall be composed of the five individuals listed on Schedule V, three of whom
shall be Series A-1 Managers designated by the Series A-1 Majority and two of
whom shall be designated by the Series A-2 Majority (as set forth on Schedule
V). The size of the Board shall be increased or decreased in accordance with
Sections 8.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv).

 

(ii)                                  The Series A-1 Majority shall be entitled
to designate (w) four Managers for so long as the Series A-1 Members hold at
least 60% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Units, (x) three Managers
for so long as the Series A-1 Members hold less than 60% and not less than 45%
of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Units, (y) two Managers for so long
as the Series A-1 Members hold less than 45% and not less than 35% of the issued
and outstanding Class A Common Units and (z) one Manager for so long as the
Series A-1 Members hold less than 35% and not less than 20% of the issued and
outstanding Class A Common Units; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
so long as the MHR Affiliated Members hold not less than 20% of the Class A
Common Units, the Series A-1 Majority shall be entitled to designate a minimum
of three Managers.

 

(iii)                               The Series A-2 Majority shall be entitled to
designate (w) four Managers for so long as the Series A-2 Members hold at least
60% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Units, (x) three Managers for
so long as the Series A-2 Members hold less than 60% and not less than 45% of
the issued and outstanding Class A Common Units, (y) two Managers for so long as
the Series A-2 Members hold less than 45% and not less than 35% of the issued
and outstanding Class A Common Units and (z) one Manager for so long as the
Series A-2 Members hold less than 35% and not less than 20% of the issued and
outstanding Class A Common Units; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing,

 

(A)                               without in any way limiting the number of
Managers that the Series A-2 Majority is entitled to designate under this
Section 8.2(a)(iii), so long as the Initial MSI Member and its Affiliated
Members hold not less than 20% of the Class A Common Units, the Series A-2
Majority shall be entitled to designate a minimum of (x) two Managers at all
times after the Effective Date and prior to the Second Closing and (y) three
Managers at all times after the Second Closing (provided, that, if the Second
Closing does not occur for any reason other than due to a

 

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

breach of the Transaction Agreement by the Initial MSI Member, the Series A-2
Majority shall be entitled to designate a minimum of three (3) Managers); and

 

(B)                               if, on December 31, 2018 or as of the end of
any quarter thereafter ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31
(each, a “Performance Measurement Date”), the 4-Year Trailing EBITDA is less
than or equal to 80% of the projected 4-Year Trailing EBITDA with respect to
such period (a “Performance Period”) and set forth on Schedule VI (a
“Performance Failure”), then the Series A-2 Majority shall be entitled to
designate one additional Manager (and the size of the Board shall be
automatically increased by one Manager). For the avoidance of doubt, (1) if a
Performance Failure occurs, then the Series A-2 Majority shall be entitled to
designate one additional Manager for the duration of this Agreement and shall
not lose such right to designate such additional Manager regardless of whether
the Company subsequently achieves projected 4-Year Trailing EBITDA and (2) the
Series A-2 Majority shall only be entitled to designate one additional Manager
for the duration of this Agreement as a result of any one or more Performance
Failures, regardless of whether there is a Performance Failure on multiple
Performance Measurement Dates; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in
the event that the Series A-2 Majority loses its right to designate an
additional Manager due to a Performance Failure Certificate Cure, (x) any action
taken by the Board after the Performance Failure and prior to the Performance
Failure Certificate Cure shall remain binding on the Company and the Members and
(y) the Series A-2 Majority shall not lose the right to designate an additional
Manager in the event of a Performance Failure in respect of a subsequent
Performance Period.

 

(iv)                              To the extent that the Series A-1 Majority or
Series A-2 Majority is no longer entitled to designate one or more Managers
pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii) or (iii) (the “Subject Series”), (w) the size of
the Board shall be reduced automatically by the number of Managers the Subject
Series is no longer entitled to designate, (y) the aggregate number of votes
that may be cast by the Managers designated by the Subject Series shall be
reduced to reflect the reduced size of the Board and (z) if the number of
Managers of the Subject Series is so reduced, the Subject Series shall
immediately designate which of its Managers have been removed as a Manager and,
if the Subject Series fails to remove the applicable number of Managers, the
Series A-2 Majority or Series A-1 Majority (as applicable) shall have the right
to designate which Manager or Managers previously designated by the Subject
Series have been removed.

 

(v)                                 Each Manager shall serve in such capacity
until such Manager’s successor has been elected and qualified or until such
individual’s death, resignation or removal.

 

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)                                       Removal. Any Manager may be removed
with or without cause only by consent of the Members entitled to designate such
Manager; provided that (i) in the event of a reduction in the size of the Board
in accordance with Section 8.2(a) or (ii) if at any time the Series A-1 Members
or Series A-2 Members lose the right to designate one or more Managers under
Section 8.2(a), then the applicable Manager or Managers no longer entitled to be
designated to the Board shall be removed from the Board pursuant to clause
(z) of Section 8.2(a)(iv).

 

(c)                                        Resignations. A Manager may resign at
any time. Such resignation shall be in writing and shall take effect at the time
specified in such writing or, if no time is specified, at the time of its
receipt by the Company. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary
to make it effective unless expressly so provided in the resignation.

 

(d)                                       Vacancies. In the event that a vacancy
is created on the Board by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or
removal of any Manager designated pursuant to Section 8.2(a), such vacancy shall
be filled only by consent of the Member or Members then entitled to designate
such Manager pursuant to Section 8.2(a).

 

(e)                                        Votes per Manager; Quorum; Required
Vote for Board Action.

 

(i)                                     Subject to Section 8.2(r), each Manager
shall have one vote; provided, however, that:

 

(A)                               any Series A-2 Manager shall be entitled to
cast more than one vote under the following circumstances: (x) if any of the
Series A-2 Managers are not present at such meeting, then the Series A-2 Manager
or Series A-2 Managers present at the meeting shall be given an aggregate number
of additional votes equal to the number of Series A-2 Managers absent (and such
absent Series A-2 Manager or Series A-2 Managers shall be deemed to have given a
proxy to vote at such meeting to any other Series A-2 Manager who is present at
such meeting and is designated by the Series A-2 Majority) or (y) if there are
any vacancies in the Series A-2 Managers, then the designated Series A-2 Manager
or Series A-2 Managers shall be given an aggregate number of additional votes
equal to the number of vacancies of the Series A-2 Managers (for example, if the
Series A-2 Majority has only designated one of two Managers it is entitled to
designate, then that one Series A-2 Manager may cast a total of two votes on
matters presented to the Board). A single Series A-2 Manager shall, for quorum
purposes, count as a number of votes equal to the number of Series A-2 Managers
that the Series A-2 Majority is entitled to designate; and

 

(B)                               any Series A-1 Manager shall be entitled to
cast more than one vote under the following circumstances: (x) if any of the
Series A-1 Managers are not present at such meeting, then the Series A-1 Manager
or Series A-1 Managers present at the meeting shall be given an aggregate number
of additional votes equal to the number of Series A-1 Managers

 

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

absent (and such absent Series A-1 Manager or Series A-1 Managers shall be
deemed to have given a proxy to vote at such meeting to any other Series A-1
Manager who is present at such meeting and is designated by the Series A-1
Majority) or (y) if there are any vacancies in the Series A-1 Managers, then the
designated Series A-1 Manager or Series A-1 Managers shall be given an aggregate
number of additional votes equal to the number of vacancies of the Series A-1
Managers (for example, if the Series A-1 Majority has only designated one of two
Managers it is entitled to designate, then that one Series A-1 Manager may cast
a total of two votes on matters presented to the Board). A single Series A-1
Manager shall, for quorum purposes, count as a number of votes equal to the
number of Series A-1 Managers that the Series A-1 Majority is entitled to
designate.

 

(ii)                                  Unless otherwise required by this
Agreement, Managers having greater than 50% of votes then entitled to be cast by
the total number of Managers then entitled to be designated to the Board, either
present (in person or by teleconference) or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Board;
provided, that, the Board, acting with the approval of all Series A-1 Managers
but without the requirement of having the approval of any Series A-2 Manager or
Series A-2 Member (except for any such approval as expressly provided in
Section 10.7, which shall in no way be limited by this Section 8.2(e)(ii)), may
direct the Company (under the supervision and control of the Board) to initiate
and complete a Qualified MLP IPO in accordance with, and subject to,
Section 10.7. Except as provided in Section 8.2(r) or in the proviso at the end
of the prior sentence, actions by the Board shall require the vote or consent of
at least a majority of the votes cast on such matter.

 

(f)                                         Place of Meetings; Order of
Business. The Board may hold its meetings and may have an office and keep the
books of the Company, except as otherwise provided by Law, in such place or
places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board may from time to
time determine by resolution; provided, that, unless the Series A-2 Majority
agrees otherwise, Board meetings shall be held in Houston, Texas, Dallas, Texas,
New York, New York or Marietta, Ohio. At all meetings of the Board, business
shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by
resolution of the Board.

 

(g)                                        Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of
the Board shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from
time to time by resolution of the Board and at such meetings the Company shall
report to the Board on, among other things, its business activities, prospects
and financial position; provided, that, the Board shall use its reasonable
efforts to meet no less frequently than quarterly (and, in any event, not less
than four (4) times per year). Notice of such regular meetings shall not be
required if held at the times and places set forth in the relevant resolution
and such resolution has been provided to each Manager.

 

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(h)                                       Special Meetings. Special meetings of
the Board may be called by any Manager or Managers having at least two votes on
at least 24 hours personal, written, telegraphic, cable, wireless or electronic
notice to each Manager, which notice must include appropriate dial-in
information to permit each Manager to participate in such meeting by means of
telephone conference. Such notice need not state the purpose or purposes of such
meeting, except as may otherwise be required by Law.

 

(i)                                           Compensation. All of the Managers
shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
attending meetings of the Board. Managers may be entitled to receive such other
fees or compensation for their services as Managers as are determined by the
Board with Requisite Member Approval.

 

(j)                                          Action Without a Meeting. Any
action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be
taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, shall be signed by the number of Managers that would otherwise be
required to approve such action at a regular or special meeting of the Board
duly called and held for such purpose. Prompt notice of any action so taken by
consent in writing without a meeting shall be given by the Company to those
Managers, if any, who do not join in such written consent; provided, that, any
such action by written consent shall require the signature of all Managers.

 

(k)                                       Telephonic Conference Meeting. Subject
to the requirement for notice of meetings, Managers may participate in a meeting
by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means
of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and
participation in such a meeting shall constitute 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.

 

(l)                                           Waiver of Notice Through
Attendance. Attendance of a Manager at any meeting of the Board (including by
telephone) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where
such Manager attends 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 and notifies the other Managers at such meeting of such
purpose.

 

(m)                                   Reliance on Books, Reports and Records.
Each Manager shall, in the performance of his or her duties, be fully protected
in relying in good faith upon the books of account or reports made to the
Company by any of the Officers or by an independent certified public accountant
or by an appraiser selected with reasonable care by the Board, or in relying in
good faith upon other records of the Company.

 

(n)                                       Committees. The Board may appoint or
create any committees of the Board with Requisite Member Approval.

 

(o)                                       Subsidiary Board of Managers or Board
of Directors. The Company and each Member agrees to take any action necessary to
(i) ensure that the governing documents with respect to the Subsidiaries of the
Company contain provisions necessary

 

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to implement the provisions of this Agreement and permit each Member to receive
the rights and benefits to which each such Member is entitled to under this
Agreement and (ii) cause each Subsidiary of the Company to be member managed by
the Company (or other parent of such Subsidiary of the Company) and/or cause
each Subsidiary of the Company to be managed in a manner consistent with the
management of the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, any action with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company that, if taken
by Company, would require the consent of the Board or one or more Members shall
require such consent or consents of the Board and/or Members.

 

(p)                                       Certain Decisions Requiring Board
Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the taking
of any Specified Action by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall require
the approval of the Board in accordance with Section 8.2(e) and Requisite Member
Approval in accordance with Section 8.4, except that neither the approval of the
Board nor Series A-1 Approval shall be required (and only Series A-2 Approval or
the approval of the Series A-2 Managers, as the case may be, shall be required)
(i) with respect to any determination or action taken pursuant to a Drag-Along
Transaction in accordance with Section 7.4 or (ii) to the extent provided in
Section 8.2(r) or Section 8.4(d). In addition, subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, the following matters shall require the approval of the
Board in accordance with Section 8.2(e): (A) approval of any operating
expenditure budget and/or capital expenditure budget for any fiscal year,
(B) subject to Section 8.4(b)(xii)(B), incurrence of any capital expenditure,
whether or not provided for in an Annual Budget (other than (1) a De Minimis
Project and then subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.4 and in any
event not to involve CapEx Contributions in excess of $15 million in the
aggregate per year, (2) Permitted Early Stage CapEx and (3) Permitted CapEx
Overage), (C) making any calls for Capital Contributions or making any calls for
contributions for any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than (x) capital
contributions provided by the Company in any CapEx Budget, (y) CapEx
Contributions in respect of Approved Projects in accordance with Section 5.2 and
Section 5.3 or (z) CapEx Contributions in respect of De Minimis Projects in
accordance with Section 5.4), (D) any distribution (other than any Tax
distribution pursuant to Section 6.1(b)), (E) the incurrence of any Indebtedness
for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness pursuant to borrowings under the
Existing Revolver in the ordinary course of business), (F) the modification,
amendment, replacement or termination of any insurance policy (other than
endorsements or immaterial ordinary course changes that do not directly or
indirectly adversely affect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) for the
benefit of, or otherwise relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
(G) the hiring of, or offering to hire, any employees by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries prior to the Employee Transfer, (H) any voluntary change in
accounting policies or tax classification, (I) the formation of any Subsidiary

termination of any Affiliate Agreement.

 

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(q)                                       Board Deadlocks.

 

(i)                                     In the event that the Board fails to
consent to or reject any matter requiring the consent of the Board (a “Board
Deadlock”), each Electing Member will meet, either in person or telephonically,
and attempt to resolve the Board Deadlock. If such Persons fail to resolve the
Board Deadlock within 21 days following the date that the Board fails to consent
to or reject the matter subject to the Board Deadlock (the “Deadlock Resolution
Period”), the Board Deadlock will be referred to a non-binding mediation
process. Each Electing Member will ensure that appropriately senior
representatives with the authority to settle the Board Deadlock participate in
the mediation process and that the relevant senior representatives will, in good
faith, seek to resolve the Board Deadlock. The Electing Members will agree upon
the identity of a mediator within ten days of the end of the Deadlock Resolution
Period. Failing agreement within such period, a mediator with substantial
knowledge of and experience with the oil and gas midstream services industry
will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and the
mediation will be conducted under the AAA Rules and Procedures, provided that
the AAA shall appoint a replacement mediator only if it determines that the
party objecting to the appointment of the original mediator appointed by the AAA
has reasonable grounds for doing so. In either case:

 

(A)                               the mediation will conclude within 45 days
after the date of the appointment of the mediator, unless the Electing Members
agree to extend this time period (such time period, as may be extended, the
“Mediation Period”);

 

(B)                               the date on which the mediation hearings will
commence will not be later than twenty (20) days after the date of the
appointment of the mediator;

 

(C)                               the Electing Members will prepare and provide
to each other (and the mediator) summaries of their positions regarding the
Board Deadlock (together with all supporting documentation) at least ten
(10) days prior to the date the mediation hearings commence;

 

(D)                               each Electing Member will ensure that the
relevant senior representatives of such Electing Member attend the mediation
hearing and, in good faith, seek to resolve the Board Deadlock. The format of
the mediation hearings will be determined by the mediator and the costs of the
mediator and, if applicable, the AAA administrative expenses will be borne by
the Company; and

 

(E)                                if a Board Deadlock is not resolved by the
Board prior to the expiration of the Mediation Period, the Board shall be deemed
to have not consented to such matter in question and such matter shall be
subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 8.2(q)(ii).

 

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)                                  Arbitration. The Members irrevocably
consent and agree that (A) binding arbitration pursuant to this
Section 8.2(q)(ii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the resolution of
any Board Deadlock that is not resolved by mutual agreement of the Board prior
to the expiration of the Mediation Period, (B) any Electing Member may demand
arbitration of any Board Deadlock (but not any other dispute other than the
Board Deadlock) by providing written notice to each of the other Electing
Members at any time within 30 days after the end of the Mediation Period,
(C) following such demand, such Board Deadlock will be fully and finally
resolved by binding arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with its
Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect and (D) this agreement to arbitrate
shall be specifically enforceable. The Members agree that Dallas, Texas shall be
the seat of the arbitration and that one (1) arbitrator shall be used. The
Electing Members shall use their reasonable efforts to appoint an arbitrator
with substantial knowledge of and experience with the oil and gas midstream
services industry and any such arbitrator shall not have a prior relationship or
affiliation with the Company, MHR or their respective Affiliates or any Member
or its Affiliates. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and the
arbitrator shall only have the power to determine whether the Board shall
consent to or reject the matter subject to the Board Deadlock (but, for the
avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator’s decision shall not relate to any term or
condition relating to such Board Deadlock unless expressly presented to such
arbitrator for its determination). The decision or remedy granted by the
arbitrator may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration
Rules (“Appellate Rules”). Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of
receipt of a binding arbitration decision by filing a Notice of Appeal with any
AAA office. Such decision made by the arbitrator shall be considered final if no
appeal is filed before the expiration of the time for filing the notice of
appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules. A decision that is final or, following
the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal, may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Company shall be responsible for
any and all costs and fees incurred by each Member in connection with any
arbitration pursuant to this Section 8.2(q)(ii). The Federal Arbitration Act
shall govern all proceedings brought hereunder. Each Member agrees that service
of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. certified or registered mail
to such Member’s respective address set forth on the Members’ Schedule shall be
effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding arising from or
relating to this Agreement or the Company. This agreement to arbitrate relates
solely to resolving Board Deadlocks and shall not be construed as a consent to
arbitrate or a waiver of the provisions of Section 13.7 for any other disputes
arising under this Agreement.

 

(iii)                               For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the
provisions of Section 8.2(q)(i) and (ii) shall only apply to approval of matters
requiring consent of the Board and shall in no event apply to approval of
matters requiring consent of the Members (including under Section 8.4(b)) and
(B) if a Board Deadlock subject to Section 8.2(q)(i) and (ii) is resolved under
Section 8.2(q)(ii), such matter shall be deemed

 

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to have been decided by the Board, but shall be subject in all respects to the
foregoing clause (A) and shall not limit any consent rights of the Members or
the need to obtain Requisite Member Approval.

 

(r)                                          Series A-2 Manager Rights.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) only the
approval of the Series A-2 Managers shall be required in order to remove any
Person who is serving as an Officer or terminate the Company’s or any
Subsidiary’s employment of such Person if such Person (A) is or was employed by
any Series A-1 Member or any of its Affiliates and (B) such removal or
termination is for Cause and (ii) the Series A-2 Managers shall be entitled to
act on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries in order to take any actions
relating to the foregoing clause (i); provided, that, in the event that (x) the
Series A-2 Managers seek to exercise such termination rights and fail to also
obtain Series A-1 Approval (where the Series A-1 Members hold at least 20% of
the Class A Common Units), (y) the Series A-1 Majority challenges whether such
Officer’s actions (or inactions) constituted Cause by written notice to the
Series A-2 Members within 15 days after receiving notice from the Series A-2
Members regarding such termination for Cause and (z) such Officer has not
admitted in writing that Cause exists, then (1) the determination of whether
Cause has occurred shall be resolved in accordance with arbitration procedures
consistent with those described in Section 8.2(q)(ii) as if such matter were a
Board Deadlock and (2) such Officer shall not be removed or terminated for Cause
under this Section 8.2(r) with respect to such Officer’s actions (or inactions)
that are the subject of such dispute until such time as the arbitrator
determines that such Officer’s actions (or inactions) constituted Cause.

 

8.3                               Officers.

 

(a)                                       Generally. The Company and its
Subsidiaries may have such Officers as the Board in its discretion may appoint
with Requisite Member Approval. The Board may (subject to Section 8.4) remove
any Officer with or without cause at any time; provided, however, that such
removal shall be without prejudice to the contractual rights, if any, of the
Officer so removed. Election or appointment of an Officer shall not of itself
create contractual rights. Any such Officers may, subject to the general
direction of the Board and, unless otherwise modified or revoked by the Board,
have responsibility for the management of the normal and customary day-to-day
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and act as “agents” of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in carrying out such activities. The Officers shall
be compensated if they are employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the
terms and conditions of their employment with the Company or a Subsidiary (as
applicable) shall be as provided in their respective Employment Agreements, if
any. Any Officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be in writing
and shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time is specified,
at the time of its receipt by the Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall
not be necessary to make it effective unless expressly so provided in the
resignation.

 

(b)                                       Initial Officers. As of the Effective
Date, Gary C. Evans is appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Joseph C. Daches is
appointed as Chief Financial Officer, Christopher T. Akers is appointed as Chief
Operating Officer of the Company and the

 

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

other Officers listed on Schedule VII are appointed in the capacity described
therein, in each case with such powers, authority and duties as specified in
writing from time to time by the Board but such delegation shall be subject to
the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 8.2(r) and

expressly released and waived by each of the Company, each Subsidiary and each
Member (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates), in each case to the
fullest extent permitted by Law; provided, however, that this
Section 8.5(a)(ii) shall not constitute a release or waiver by the Company of
any violation of Section 10.4 by a Member.

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any Related Document, Affiliate Agreement or otherwise, each of the Company,
each Subsidiary and each Member (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates)
acknowledges and agrees that each Non-MHR Member and its Related Parties have
obtained, or may in the future obtain, confidential information from other

the Non-MHR Members nor any of their respective Related Parties has any
obligation to use any such confidential information in connection with the
business, operations, management or other activities of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or to furnish to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any

(A) with respect to the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries or (B) passive
investments not to exceed, directly or indirectly, 5% of the common Equity
Interests of a Person listed on a national securities exchange, such MHR
Affiliated Member (and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its
Subsidiaries)) does not have, directly or indirectly, any Equity Interest in any
Person that is engaged in the oil, natural gas and/or natural gas liquids
midstream business in the Subject Area.

 

(ii)                                  Prior to a Qualified Public Offering, each
MHR Affiliated Member covenants (for itself and not for any other MHR Affiliated
Member) to the Company and each Series A-2 Member that it shall not, and it
shall cause its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) not to,
directly or

 

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

indirectly, engage or otherwise participate in the acquisition, ownership,
management, development, financing or operation of any oil, natural gas and/or
natural gas liquids midstream business or assets in the Subject Area (including
gathering, treating, transporting and processing oil, natural gas and/or natural
gas liquids) other than (A) subject to Section 8.5(b)(iii) below, Declined
Opportunities and (B) passive investments not to exceed, directly or indirectly,
5% of the common Equity Interests of a Person listed on a national securities
exchange.

 

(iii)                               Prior to a Qualified Public Offering, each
MHR Affiliated Member covenants (for itself and not for any other MHR Affiliated

Series A-2 Members regarding any opportunities of which such MHR Affiliated
Member (or Affiliate) may become aware with respect to investments in the oil,
natural gas and/or natural gas liquids midstream sector in the Subject Area (a
“Business Opportunity”). In the event that the Officers present a CapEx Proposal
to the Eligible Members with respect to a Business Opportunity in accordance
with Section 5.2(a)(i) and (ii) the Company does not pursue such Proposed Growth
CapEx Project solely due to the failure to obtain Series A-2 Approval (a
“Declined Opportunity”), then MHR may pursue such Declined Opportunity
independently of the Company (including through one or more of MHR’s
Subsidiaries but not through the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries)
on materially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the CapEx Proposal;
provided, that, if such terms and conditions change in any material respect, MHR
shall be required to present such Business Opportunity in accordance with the
first sentence in this Section 8.5(b)(iii).

 

(iv)                              MHR covenants that it will (and will cause its
Affiliates to) provide each Series A-2 Member (and/or its designees) with a
right of first negotiation to participate with MHR regarding any midstream
activities in the continental United States and not subject to
Section 8.5(b)(iii) above (“Other Midstream Opportunities”), if such Other
Midstream Opportunity may reasonably be expected to require aggregate third
party equity capital commitments or funding of not less than $100 million. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to require MHR to consummate Other Midstream
Opportunities with any Series A-2 Member.

 

8.6                               Amendment, Modification or Repeal. Any
amendment, modification or repeal of Section 8.4, Section 8.5 or this
Section 8.6 or any provision thereof shall be prospective only and shall not in
any way affect the limitations on the liability of the applicable Members or any
of their respective Affiliates under such provisions as in effect immediately
prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising
from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such
amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or
be asserted.

DUTIES; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION; RELATED

MATTERS

 

9.1                               Duties, Limitations of Liability and
Indemnification of Members.

 

(a)                                       Duties. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement or any other Related Document to the contrary, each of the
Company and the Members acknowledges and agrees that each Member, in its
capacity as a Member, may decide or determine any matter subject to such
Member’s approval pursuant to any provision of this Agreement in such Member’s
sole and absolute discretion, and in making such decision or determination such
Member shall have no duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to any other Member or to the
Company, it being the intent of all Members that each Member, in its capacity as
a Member, have the right to make such determination solely on the basis of such
Member’s own interests. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law,
whenever a Member is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action
or omit to take an action in such Person’s capacity as a Member (including
wherever in this Agreement that any Member is permitted or required to make,
grant or take a determination, a decision, a consent, a vote, a judgment or
other action at its “discretion,” “sole discretion” or under a grant of similar
authority or latitude), such Member shall be entitled to consider only such
interests and factors, including its own, as it desires, and shall have no duty
or obligation to give any consideration to any other interest or factors
whatsoever.

 

(b)                                       Acknowledgement and Release. Subject
to Section 9.6(e), each of the Company and the Members hereby agrees that any
claims against, actions, rights to sue, other remedies or other recourse to or
against the Members or any of their respective Related Parties for or in
connection with any decision or determination referred to in
Section 9.1(a) above in each case whether arising in common law or equity or
created by rule of law, statute, constitution, contract (including this
Agreement or any other Related Document) or otherwise, are in each case
expressly released and waived by the Company and each Member, to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, as a condition of, and as part of the consideration
for, the execution of this Agreement and the other Related Documents, and the
incurring by the Members of the obligations provided in such agreements;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall release or
otherwise prevent any Member from asserting a claim against another Member with
respect to a violation of the contractual covenant of good faith and fair
dealing implied by the Act.

 

(c)                                        Limitation of Liability. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, no Member Covered Person shall be
liable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to any other Member or to any
other Person for Liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission (in
relation to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any transaction, any
investment or any business decision or action, including for breach of duties
including fiduciary duties (including any duty of disclosure)) taken or omitted
by such Member Covered Person (in such Person’s capacity as a Member Covered
Person (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Liabilities in respect of any
Excluded Claims), unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment
entered by a court of competent

jurisdiction determining that, in respect of such act or omission, and taking
into account the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement,
such Member Covered Person engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or a bad faith
violation of the contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or, in the
case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that such Member Covered
Person’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, this Section 9.1(c) does not apply to any Member Covered Person in
such Member Covered Person’s capacity as a party to an Affiliate Agreement or
the breach of any Affiliate Agreement or Related Document.

 

(d)                                       Indemnification. Each Member Covered
Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company (but only to the
extent of the Company’s assets), to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable Law, from and against any and all loss, liability and expense
(including taxes; penalties; judgments; fines; amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement; costs of investigation and preparations; and fees, expenses and
disbursements of attorneys, whether or not the dispute or proceeding involves
the Company or any Manager or Member) (collectively, “Liabilities”) incurred or
suffered by any such Member Covered Person in connection with the activities of
the Company or its Subsidiaries (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt,
Liabilities in respect of any Excluded Claims); provided that, such Member
Covered Person shall not be so indemnified and held harmless if there has been a
final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter for which such Member Covered Person
is seeking indemnification or seeking to be held harmless hereunder, and taking
into account the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Agreement,
such Member Covered Person engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or a bad faith
violation of the contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or, in the
case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that such Member Covered
Person’s conduct was unlawful. A Member Covered Person shall not be denied
indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 9.1(d) because such
Member Covered Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which
the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the
terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, this Section 9.1(d) does not apply to any Member Covered Person in such
Member Covered Person’s capacity as a party to an Affiliate Agreement or the
breach of any Affiliate Agreement or Related Document.

 

(e)                                        Reliance on Records. Each Member
Covered Person may rely, and shall incur no Liability in acting or refraining
from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, paper, document,
signature or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a
certificate signed by an officer, agent or representative of any Person in order
to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s
knowledge, in each case unless there has been a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in
respect of such reliance, action or inaction, such Member Covered Person engaged
in fraud, willful misconduct or a bad faith violation of the contractual
covenant of good faith and fair dealing or, in the case of a criminal matter,
acted with knowledge that such Member Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful.

9.2                               Duties and Indemnification of Officers and
Managers.

 

(a)                                       Duties.

 

(i)                                     (A) Each Officer (in such Person’s
capacity as an Officer) and (B) prior to the expiration of the Interim Period,
each Series A-1 Manager (in such Person’s capacity as a Manager), shall have the
same fiduciary and other duties (including with respect to investments,
transactions and businesses that are or may be considered competitive with the
Company or its Subsidiaries) that an officer of the Company would have if the
Company were a corporation organized under the Laws of the State of Delaware
(which had not adopted language specifically modifying or renouncing applicable
duties with respect to corporate or business opportunities).

 

(ii)                                  Each Manager designated by a Member
pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (each, a “Member Board Designee”) shall serve in such
capacity to represent the interests of the Member or Members that designated
such Manager and shall be entitled to consider only such interests (including
the interests of the Member or Members that designated such Manager) and factors
specified by the Member or Members that designated such Manager, and, except
with respect to the fiduciary and other duties of the Series A-1 Managers prior
to the expiration of the Interim Period (as described in Section 9.2(a)(i)),
shall have no fiduciary or other duties (including any duty of disclosure) to
the Company, any other Member, any other Manager or any other Person that is a
party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, other than the contractual
covenant of good faith and fair dealing; provided, that, for the avoidance of
doubt, nothing in this Section 9.2, including this clause (ii), shall limit the
fiduciary duties of a Series A-1 Manager (A) prior to the expiration of the
Interim Period or (B) in such Series A-1 Manager’s capacity (if any) as an
Officer.

 

(b)                                       Indemnification. Each M&O Covered
Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company (but only to the
extent of the Company’s assets), to the fullest extent permitted under the Act
(and shall be entitled to the same defenses and exculpations to the fullest
extent permitted by law), from and against any and all Liabilities incurred or
suffered by any such M&O Covered Person in connection with the activities of the
Company or its Subsidiaries (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Liabilities
in respect of any Excluded Claims) unless there has been a final and
non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining
that such M&O Covered Person engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or in a bad
faith violation of the contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or,
in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that such M&O Covered
Person’s conduct was unlawful. An M&O Covered Person shall not be denied
indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 9.2(b) because such M&O
Covered Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the
indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
(i) this Section 9.2(b) does not apply to any M&O Covered Person in such M&O
Covered

 

56

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Person’s capacity as a party to an Affiliate Agreement or the breach of any
Affiliate Agreement or Related Document and (ii) MHR shall be primarily and
fully responsible for any breach of fiduciary and/or other duties as described
in Section 9.2(a) above by a Series A-1 Manager prior to the expiration of the
Interim Period.

 

(c)                                        Reliance on Records. Each M&O Covered
Person may rely, and shall incur no Liability in acting or refraining from
acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, paper, document,
signature or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a
certificate signed by an officer, agent or representative of any Person in order
to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s
knowledge, in each case unless there has been a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that such M&O
Covered Person engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or a bad faith violation of
the contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or, in the case of a
criminal matter, acted with knowledge that such M&O Covered Person’s conduct was
unlawful.

 

9.3                               Advancement of Expenses. Reasonable,
documented expenses incurred by a Covered Person for which such Covered Person
could reasonably be expected to be entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that any such
advance shall only be made if the Covered Person delivers a written affirmation
by such Covered Person of its good faith belief that it is entitled to
indemnification hereunder and agrees to repay promptly all amounts so advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to
be indemnified hereunder.

 

9.4                               Multiple Rights to Indemnification. If any
Person is both a Member Covered Person and a M&O Covered Person with respect to
any Liabilities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Liabilities in respect
of any Excluded Claims), such Person shall be entitled to be indemnified for
such Liabilities to the greatest extent that either a Member Covered Person or a
M&O Covered Person is entitled to indemnification for such matters under this
Agreement.

 

9.5                               Priority of Certain Third Party
Indemnification Rights. The Company and each of the Members hereby acknowledges
that certain of the Covered Persons (“Applicable Indemnitees”) have certain
rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by the
Members or certain of their Affiliates (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”).
The Company hereby agrees, and the Members hereby acknowledge, that (a) to the
extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the
Certificate (or by the terms of any other agreement between the Company and an
Applicable Indemnitee), (i) the Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e.,
its obligations to each Applicable Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of
the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the
same expenses or liabilities incurred by any Applicable Indemnitee are
secondary) and (ii) the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of
expenses incurred by an Applicable Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full
amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, without regard to any rights that an Applicable Indemnitee may have

 

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

against the Other Indemnitors and (b) the Company irrevocably waives,
relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims for
contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any of
the matters described in clause (a) of this sentence for which any Applicable
Indemnitee has received indemnification or advancement from the Company. The
Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors
on behalf of any Applicable Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which an
Applicable Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect
the foregoing and that the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution
and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the
rights of recovery of such Applicable Indemnitee against the Company. The
Company and each Member agree that the Other Indemnitors are express third party
beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 9.5.

 

9.6                               Other Related Matters.

 

(a)                                       The provisions of this Agreement and
any other Related Document, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the
duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in
equity, are agreed by the Members to replace, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

 

(b)                                       Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary under this Agreement or pursuant to any duty (fiduciary or otherwise)
or otherwise applicable provision of Law or equity, a Member may enter into
voting agreements or arrangements with one or more other Members regarding,
among other things, the voting by such Member or by Managers designated by such
Member. Without limiting the scope of any such voting agreement or arrangement
permitted hereunder, a voting agreement or arrangement may provide that Members
may act in concert and that Managers may act in concert.

 

(c)                                        The rights to indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by this Article 9 shall be in addition to any
other rights to which a Covered Person may be entitled under any agreement, as a
matter of Law or otherwise, both as to actions in such Covered Person’s capacity
as a Covered Person hereunder and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall
continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity as a
Covered Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns
and administrators of such Covered Person.

 

(d)                                       The obligations of the Company to the
Covered Persons provided in the Related Documents, including any indemnification
obligations under this Article 9, shall be satisfied from and limited to Company
assets, including insurance proceeds, if any, or arising under Law are solely
the obligations of the Company, and no personal liability whatsoever shall
attach to, or be incurred by, any Member or other Covered Person for such
obligations, to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Where the foregoing
provides that no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by a Covered
Person, any claims against or recourse to such Covered Person for or in
connection with such liability, whether arising in common law or equity or
created by rule of law, statute, constitution, contract or otherwise, are
expressly released and waived under the Related Documents, to the fullest

 

58

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

extent permitted by Law, as a condition of, and as part of the consideration
for, the execution of the Related Documents and any related agreement, and the
incurring by the Company or such Member of the obligations provided in such
agreements.

 

(e)                                        Nothing in this Article 9 shall be
deemed to limit or waive any rights that any Person has for breach of the terms
of the Related Documents or Affiliate Agreements or with respect to any
employment relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(collectively, “Excluded Claims”).

 

(f)                                         Without in any way limiting
Section 10.5, the Company may maintain insurance (including directors’ and
officers’ insurance), at its expense, to protect each Manager and Officer, and
the Company may maintain such insurance to protect itself and any Covered Person
or other Member of the Company, in each case against any expense, liability or
loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person
against such expense, liability or loss under the Act.

 

(g)                                        The rights to indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by this Article 9 shall be deemed to be
separate contract rights between the Company and each Covered Person. Any
amendment, modification or repeal of this Article 9 or any provision hereof
shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on
liability of the Covered Persons, or terminate, reduce or impair the right of
Covered Person, under and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 as
in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with
respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in
part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such
claims may arise or be asserted.

Representatives to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with such

thereof in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock
exchange and may describe the Related Documents and the

 

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

transactions contemplated thereby in any press release issued by MHR (provided
that MHR shall provide the Series A-2 Members a reasonable opportunity to review
and comment upon such filings or press releases in advance of making such
filings or press releases (and to seek in good faith to incorporate such
comments as are reasonably appropriate in respect of such filings, and not to
make any press release (x) describing or referring to the Series A-2 Members or
any of their respective Affiliates without the prior written consent of the

releases) and shall seek confidential treatment of those commercially sensitive
portions of Related Documents in such filings upon the written request of the
Series A-2 Members, assuming that there is a good faith basis therefor) and
(B) with respect to disclosures other than those described in clause (A), prior

may be, uses reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the
Confidential Information, including consulting with the Company regarding such
disclosure and, if reasonably requested by the Company, assisting the Company,
at the Company’s expense, in seeking a protective order to prevent the requested
disclosure.

 

(c)                                        The obligations of a Member pursuant
to this Section 10.4 will continue following the time such Person ceases to be a
Member, but thereafter such Person will not have the right to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement. Each Member acknowledges that disclosure or use of
Confidential Information in violation of this Section 10.4 may cause irreparable
damage to the Company and the Members for which monetary damages are inadequate,
difficult to compute, or both. Accordingly, each Member consents to the issuance
of an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against such
Member at the suit of an aggrieved party without the posting of any bond or
other security, in order to compel specific performance of all of the terms of
this Section 10.4.

that the Company be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax

Law or to be classified as other than a partnership pursuant to Treasury

(a)                                       The tax matters partner of the Company
pursuant to Code Section 6231(a)(7) shall be a Member designated, and subject to
replacement, from time to time with Requisite Member Approval. Any Member who is
designated as the tax matters partner is referred to herein as the “Tax Matters
Member”. The Tax Matters Member on the Effective Date is MHR. The Tax Matters
Member shall take such action as may be necessary to cause to the extent
possible each other Member to become a notice partner within the meaning of Code
Section 6231(a)(8). The Tax Matters Member shall inform each other Member of all
significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as Tax
Matters Member by giving notice thereof on or before the fifth Business Day
after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other
Member copies of all significant written communications it may receive in that
capacity.

 

(b)                                       Any cost or expense incurred by the
Tax Matters Member in connection with its duties, including the preparation for

(c)                                        The Tax Matters Member shall not
enter into any extension of the period of limitations for making assessments on
behalf of the Members without first obtaining the consent of the Board. The Tax
Matters Member shall not bind any Member to a settlement agreement without
obtaining the written consent of such Member. Any Member that enters into a
settlement agreement with respect to any Company item (within the meaning of

settlement agreement and its terms within 90 days from the date of the
settlement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(d)                                       No Member shall file a request
pursuant to Code Section 6227 for an administrative adjustment of Company items
for any taxable year without first notifying the other Members. If the Board
consents to the requested adjustment, the Tax Matters Member shall file the
request for the administrative adjustment on behalf of the Members. If such
consent is not obtained within 30 days from such notice, or within the period
required to timely file the request for administrative adjustment, if shorter,
any Member, including the Tax Matters Member, may file a request for
administrative adjustment on its own behalf. Any Member intending to file a
petition under Code Sections 6226 or 6228 or any other Code Section with respect
to any item involving the Company shall notify the other Members of such
intention and the nature of the contemplated proceeding. In the case where the
Tax Matters Member is the Member intending to file such petition on behalf of
the Company, such notice shall be given within a reasonable period of time to
allow the other Members to participate in the choosing of the forum in which
such petition will be filed.

 

(e)                                        No Member shall file a notice of
inconsistent treatment under Code Section 6222(b).

 

ARTICLE 12
LIQUIDATION EVENT, SALE TRANSACTION AND TERMINATION

 

12.1                        Dissolution.

 

(a)                                       Subject to Section 12.1(b), the
Company shall be liquidated and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to
occur of the following events (each a “Liquidation Event”) and no other event
shall cause the Company’s dissolution:

 

(i)                                     the consent of the Board and Requisite
Member Approval in accordance with Article 8;

 

(ii)                                  at any time when there are no Members; and

 

(iii)                               entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of
the Company under Section 18-802 of the Act.

 

(b)                                       If the Liquidation Event described in
Section 12.1(a)(ii) shall occur, the Company shall not be dissolved, and the
business of the Company shall be continued, if the requirements of
Section 18-801 of the Act for the avoidance of dissolution are satisfied (a
“Continuation Election”).

 

(c)                                        Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 12.1, to the maximum extent permitted by the Act, the death, retirement,
Resignation, expulsion, Bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member or the
commencement or consummation of separation proceedings shall not constitute a
Liquidation Event and, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or
circumstance, the business of the Company shall be continued without
dissolution.

 

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

12.2                        Winding-Up and Termination. On the occurrence of a
Liquidation Event, unless a Continuation Election is made, the Board may select
one or more Persons to act as liquidator or may itself act as liquidator. The
liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and
make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of winding
up shall be borne as a Company expense, including reasonable compensation to the
liquidator if approved by the Board. Until final distribution, the liquidator
shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and
authority of the Board. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as
follows:

 

(a)                                       as promptly as possible after
dissolution and again after final winding up, the liquidator shall cause a
proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public
accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations;

 

(b)                                       the liquidator shall pay, satisfy or
discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of
the Company (including all expenses incurred in winding up) or otherwise make
adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the
establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount
and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

 

(c)                                        the liquidator shall distribute all
remaining assets of the Company to the Members in accordance with Section 12.3
and those distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year of the
Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, 90
days after the date of the liquidation).

 

All distributions in kind to the Members shall be made subject to the liability
of each distributee for costs, expenses and liabilities theretofore incurred or
for which the Company has committed prior to the date of termination and those
costs, expenses and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributee pursuant
to this Section 12.2. The distribution of cash or property to the Members in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.2 constitutes a complete
return to such Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution
to the Members of its Membership Interests and all the Company’s property and
constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning
of Section 18-502(b) of the Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to
the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

 

12.3                        Sale Transaction. Upon a Sale Transaction or IPO,
the proceeds of such Sale Transaction or IPO shall be distributed as follows:

 

(a)                                       to the extent required by applicable
Law or the structure of such Sale Transaction or IPO, to the satisfaction of
debts and liabilities (including expenses of liquidation) of the Company
(whether by payment or reasonable provision for payment thereof), in order of
priority according to the terms of the instruments evidencing such debt and
liabilities and as provided by law;

 

(b)                                       to the Members as follows:

 

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i)                                     with respect to a Sale Transaction or
IPO prior to January 1, 2017, to the Common Members in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests; or

 

(ii)                                  with respect to a Sale Transaction or IPO
on or after January 1, 2017, (x) first, to the Common Members, pro rata in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, until the Series A-2
Members have received cumulative distributions from the Company sufficient to
achieve a Series A-2 IRR of 21% and (y) thereafter, to the Common Members in
accordance with their Upside Sharing Percentages; provided, that,

 

notwithstanding the foregoing clause (ii) of this Section 12.3(b), if the amount
distributable to the Series A-2 Members pursuant to Section 12.3(b)(ii)(x) is
not sufficient to result in cumulative distributions to the Series A-2 Members
sufficient to result in a Series A-2 IRR of at least 10%, then
Section 12.3(b)(ii)(x) and (y) shall not be applicable, and instead amounts
distributable pursuant to this Section 12.3(b) shall be distributed to the
Series A-2 Members until the Series A-2 Members achieve a Series A-2 IRR of 10%,
with the remainder distributed to the other Common Members (excluding the
Series A-2 Members) in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

 

12.4                        Deficit Capital Accounts. No Member shall be
required to pay to the Company, to any other Member or to any third party any
deficit balance which may exist from time to time in the Member’s Capital
Account.

 

12.5                        Certificate of Cancellation. On completion of the
distribution of Company assets as provided in this Agreement, the Board (or such
other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a
Certificate of Cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any
other filings made pursuant to Section 2.5, and take such other actions as may
be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. Upon the effectiveness
of the Certificate of Cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease,
except as may be otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

 

ARTICLE 13
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

13.1                        Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay or distribute
any amount to any Member, any amounts that such Member, in its capacity as a
Member, owes the Company, whether pursuant to any Related Document (other than
an Employment Agreement) or otherwise, may be deducted from the amount to be
paid or distributed to such Member before payment or distribution.

 

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

13.2                        Notices.

 

(a)                                       Except as expressly set forth to the
contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests or consents provided for or
required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be
duly given if personally delivered, sent by telecopy or electronic mail and
confirmed, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or nationally
recognized overnight delivery service with proof of receipt maintained, at the
following addresses (or any other address that any such party may designate by
written notice to the other parties in accordance with this Section 13.2):

 

(i)                                     if to the Company, at the address of its
principal executive offices;

 

(ii)                                  if to a Member as of the Effective Date,
to the address given for the Member on Schedule I; and

 

(iii)                               if to an Additional Member, Substituted
Member or a holder of Membership Interests that has not been admitted as a
Member, to the address given for such Member or holder in an Addendum Agreement.

 

Any such notice shall, if delivered personally, be deemed received upon
delivery; shall, if delivered by telecopy or electronic mail, be deemed received
on the Business Day of confirmation; shall, if delivered by certified mail, be
deemed received upon actual receipt thereof or three Business Days after the
date of deposit in the United States mail, as the case may be; and shall, if
delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service, be deemed
received the Business Day after the date of deposit with the delivery service.

 

(b)                                       Whenever any notice is required to be
given by Law, the Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof,
signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

 

13.3                        Entire Agreement; Supersedure. This Agreement
(including the Exhibits and Schedules) constitutes the entire agreement of the
Members relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts
or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written, but nothing
herein is, or shall be deemed to be, a limitation on the terms and provisions of
the Transaction Agreement.

 

13.4                        Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent,
express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the
performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company 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 obligations of that Person with respect to
the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any
Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company,
irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by
that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable
statute-of-limitations period has run.

 

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

13.5                        Amendment or Restatement; Power of Attorney.

 

(a)                                       Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in addition to the approvals required under
Section 8.2 and/or Section 8.4(b), any amendment, modification, supplement or
restatement of this Agreement (including any Exhibit or Schedule hereto) or the
Certificate and any waiver of any provision thereof shall also require approval
of the Class A Members representing 50% of the Class A Common Units; provided,
however, that:

 

(i)                                     any such amendment, modification,
supplement, restatement or waiver in connection with any creation, authorization
or issuance of a new series of Units or other Equity Interests of the Company by
the Board pursuant to the authority contained in Section 3.7(a) shall only
require the approval of the Board and Requisite Member Approval;

 

(ii)                                  any such amendment, modification,
supplement, restatement or waiver in connection with any IPO only require the
approval of the Board and Requisite Member Approval;

 

(iii)                               any such amendment, modification,
supplement, restatement or waiver in connection with (A) any Qualified Public
Offering shall only require the approval of the Series A-2 Majority, (B) any
Qualified MLP IPO shall only require the approval of all Series A-1 Managers or
(B) any IPO (other than pursuant to clauses (A) or (B)) shall only require the
approval of the Board and Requisite Member Approval;

 

(iv)                              any such amendment, modification, supplement,
restatement or waiver that would alter or change the rights, obligations, powers
or preferences of one or more Members in the capacity as a holder of a specific
series of Membership Interests in a disproportionate and adverse manner (other
than in a de minimis, non-economic respect, compared to other Members in their
capacities as holders of the same series of Membership Interests) shall also
require the prior written consent of Members holding greater than 50% of the
Membership Interests so disproportionately and adversely affected (for the
avoidance of doubt, with respect to an amendment that affects the Class B
Members in a disproportionate and adverse manner as compared to the Class A
Members, only the prior written consent of Class B Members holding greater than
50% of the Class B Common Units shall be required);

 

(v)                                 any such amendment, modification,
supplement, restatement or waiver to reflect a Disposition made in accordance
with this Agreement or other administrative or immaterial changes shall only
require the approval of the Board (and the Board shall approve the necessary
amendment or modification, to reflect a Disposition made in accordance with this
Agreement); and

 

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(vi)                              any such amendment to Schedule VIII to reflect
the delegation or revocation of duties to any one or more Officers shall only
require the approval of the Board in accordance with Section 8.2 and
Section 8.3(c).

 

(b)                                       Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 13.5, if the amendments to Treasury Regulations §§
1.704-1 and 1.704-3 proposed on January 22, 2003 (and corrected on March 28,
2003) are adopted as final (or temporary) rules (the “New Rules”), the Board is
authorized to make such amendments to this Agreement (including provision for
any safe harbor election authorized by the New Rules) as the Board may determine
to be necessary or advisable to comply with or reflect the New Rules; provided
that such amendments do not materially alter the economic rights of the Members
under this Agreement other than the timing of distributions pursuant to
Section 6.1(b).

 

(c)                                        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.

 

(d)                                       Each Member irrevocably makes,
constitutes and appoints each Manager, acting individually or collectively, as
its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution
and full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to make, execute,
sign, acknowledge, swear to, record and file (i) any amendment, modification,
supplement, restatement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement that has
been approved in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) all other instruments,
certificates, filings or papers not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement which may be necessary or advisable in the determination of the Board
to evidence an amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or waiver of, or
relating to, this Agreement (including changes to the Members’ Schedule),
(iii) all instruments required or necessary to admit Additional Members and
Substituted Members to the Company and to issue additional Units or other
Membership Interests (or securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Membership Interests) as provided in this Agreement, (iv) all
conveyances and other instruments or papers required or necessary, to effect the
dissolution and termination of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement; and (v) all other instruments or papers not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement which may be required to give effect or carry out
another provision of this Agreement or which may be required by Law to be filed
on behalf of the Company or required to permit the Company to become or continue
to be a limited liability company in each jurisdiction where the Company may be
doing business.

 

(e)                                        With respect to each Member and each
Additional Member or Substituted Member, the foregoing power of attorney
referred to in clause (d) above (i) is coupled with an interest and given to
secure a proprietary interest, shall be irrevocable and shall survive the
incapacity or Bankruptcy of such Member, (ii) may be exercised by the Board
through any Manager either by signing separately as attorney-in-fact for such
Member or, after listing all of the Members executing an instrument, by a single
signature of such Manager acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them and
(iii) shall survive the Disposition by

 

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

such Member of all or any portion of the Membership Interests held by such
Member; except that, where the assignee of the whole of such Member’s interest
has been approved in accordance with the terms hereof for admission to the
Company as an Additional Member or Substituted Member, the power of attorney of
the assignor shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose
of enabling the Company to execute, swear to, acknowledge and file any
instrument necessary or appropriate to effect such substitution.

 

13.6                        Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and each Member and their
respective heirs, permitted successors, permitted assigns, permitted
distributees and legal representatives; and by their signatures hereto, the
Company and each Member intends to and does hereby become bound. Each Member may
bring a claim against any other Member or the Company for breaches of this
Agreement or any other Related Document by a Member, the Company or other
applicable Person, including the making or defending any claim on behalf of the
Company. Except as set forth in Section 8.5(a) or Section 9.1(d), nothing
expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under, in or
in respect of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. The rights
under this Agreement may be assigned by a Member to a transferee of all or a
portion of such Member’s Membership Interests Disposed of in accordance with
this Agreement (and shall be assigned to the extent this Agreement requires such
assignment), but only to the extent of such Membership Interests so Disposed; it
being understood that the assignment of any rights under this Agreement shall
not constitute admission to the Company as a Member unless and until such
transferee is duly admitted as a Member in accordance with this Agreement.

 

13.7                        Governing Law; Severability; Limitation of
Liability.

 

(a)                                       THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND
