WHEREAS, the Rescission Agreement provided for reinstatement of this Agreement
effective as of May 9, 2005 and the Members re-executed this Agreement on

sore-executed and then amended and restated, the “Prior Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Members desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its
entirety in the form of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement will
have the meanings given to such terms in Section 13.1. Capitalized terms defined
in the text of this Agreement are indexed in Section 13.2.

ARTICLE I—ORGANIZATION

1.1 Formation. The Company has been organized as a Delaware limited liability
company by the filing of a Certificate of Formation (the “Certificate”) under
and pursuant to the Act.

1.2 Name. The name of the Company is “Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C.,” and all
Company business shall be conducted in that name or such other names that comply
with applicable law as the Board may select from time to time.

 

1

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

1.3 Registered Office; Registered Agent; Principal Office; Other Offices. The
Company shall maintain a registered office in the State of Delaware at, and the
name and address of the Company’s registered agent in the State of Delaware is,
The Corporation Trust Company, Corporation Trust Building, 1209 Orange Street,
Wilmington, DE 19801. The Board may, from time to time, change the Company’s
registered office and/or registered agent and shall forthwith amend the
Certificate to reflect such change(s). The principal office of the Company shall
be at such place as the Board may designate from time to time, which need not be
in the State of Delaware, and the Company shall maintain records there. The
Company may have such other offices as the Board may designate from time to
time.

1.4 Purposes. The purpose of the Company is to engage in any and all lawful
businesses and activities that limited liability companies are permitted to
carry on under the Act. The Company shall possess and may exercise all the
powers and privileges granted by the Act or by any other law or by this
Agreement, together with any powers incidental thereto, insofar as such powers
and privileges are necessary, appropriate, advisable, incidental or convenient
to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business purposes or activities
of the Company.

1.5 Foreign Qualification. Prior to the Company’s conducting business in any
jurisdiction other than Delaware, the Board shall cause the Company to comply,
to the extent procedures are available and those matters are reasonably within
the control of the Board, with all requirements necessary to qualify the Company
as a foreign limited liability company in that jurisdiction. At the request of
the Board, each Holder shall execute, acknowledge, swear to and deliver all
certificates and other instruments conforming with this Agreement that are
necessary or appropriate to qualify, continue and terminate the Company as a
foreign limited liability company in all such jurisdictions in which the Company
may conduct business.

1.6 Term. The term of the Company commenced on the date the Certificate was
filed with the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware and shall continue
until termination and dissolution thereof as determined under Section 11.1 of
this Agreement.

1.7 No State-Law Partnership. The Members intend that the Company not be a
partnership (including, without limitation, a limited partnership) or joint
venture, and that no Holder or Director be a partner or joint venturer of any
other Holder or Director, for any purposes other than federal and, if
applicable, state tax purposes, and this Agreement shall not be construed to
suggest otherwise. Unless otherwise determined by the Tax Matters Member
pursuant to Section 8.2(b), the Members intend that the Company shall be treated
as a partnership for federal and, if applicable, state income tax purposes, and
each Holder and the Company shall file all tax returns and shall otherwise take
all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such
treatment.

1.8 Company Property. Company assets shall be deemed to be owned by the Company
as an entity, and no Holder, individually or collectively, shall have any
ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. Legal title to
any or all Company assets may be held in the name of the Company or one or more
nominees, as the Board may determine. The Board hereby declares and warrants
that any Company assets for which legal title is held in the name of any nominee
shall be held in trust by such nominee for the use and benefit of the Company in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Company assets shall be
recorded as the property of the Company on its books and records, irrespective
of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held. The Units of
each Holder shall constitute personal property.

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

1.9 Limited Liability Company Agreement. The Members hereby execute this
Agreement for the purpose of establishing the affairs of the Company and the
conduct of its business in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The
Members hereby agree that, during the term of the Company set forth in
Section 1.6 hereof, the rights and obligations of the Holders with respect to
the Company shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and, except where the Act provides that such rights and
obligations specified in the Act shall apply “unless otherwise provided in a
limited liability company agreement” or words of similar effect and such rights
and obligations are set forth in this Agreement, the Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Section 18-210 of the Act (entitled “Contractual Appraisal Rights”)
and Section 18-305(a) of the Act (entitled “Access to and Confidentiality of

ARTICLE II—UNIT INTERESTS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

2.1 Unit Interests.

(a) Authorized Units. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company is
authorized to issue equity interests in the Company designated as Units. The
total number of Units that the Company shall have authority to issue is
660,000,000. The capital structure of the Company shall initially consist of
three (3) classes of membership interests: (i) Series A Common Units,
(ii) Series B Common Units and (iii) Series C Common Units. The authorized Units
that the Company has the authority to issue shall consist of (A) 66,000,000
Series A Common Units, (B) 550,000,000 Series B Common Units and (C) 44,000,000
Series C Common Units.

(b) Interests of Unit Holders. The relative rights, powers, preferences, duties,
liabilities and obligations of Holders of the Units (including the Series A
Common Units, the Series B Common Units and the Series C Common Units) shall be
as set forth herein. Each Holder’s interest in the Company, including such
Holder’s interest in income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the
Company, shall be represented by the Units held by such Holder.

(c) Voting Rights. Each Series B Common Unit shall entitle the Member owning
such Unit to one vote on any matter to be voted on by the Members as provided in
this Agreement or required by applicable law, and the Series A Common Units and
Series C Common Units shall not entitle the Holders thereof to any vote on any
matters to be voted on by the Members; provided that to the extent any Holder of
Series B Common Units is required to obtain any governmental approval, consent
or authorization prior to acquiring voting securities of the Company, such
Holder shall not be entitled to a vote in respect of such Series B Common Units
until such necessary governmental approval consent or authorization has been
obtained.

(d) Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Units. If the Company in any manner
subdivides or combines the outstanding number of one class of Common Units, the
outstanding number of the other classes of Common Units shall be proportionately
subdivided or combined in a similar manner.

 

3

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

(e) Certification of Units. The Units owned by the Members will be recorded on
the attached Schedule of Members and, initially, will not be represented by
physical certificates. The Board may in its discretion issue certificates to the
Holders representing the Units held by each Holder.

(f) Restrictive Legend. In the event that certificates representing the Units
are issued, each certificate or instrument shall be imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:

THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON
                     ,                     , HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS (“STATE ACTS”) AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR STATE
ACTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE TRANSFER OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN AN OPERATING AGREEMENT,
DATED AS OF OCTOBER 29, 2004 AND EFFECTIVE AS OF SEPTEMBER 22, 2004, AS AMENDED
AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, GOVERNING THE ISSUER (THE “COMPANY”) AND BY AND
AMONG CERTAIN INVESTORS. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE
COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.

2.2 Initial Units Issued as of October 29, 2004. As of October 29, 2004, the
Members listed on the attached Schedule of Members (the “Initial Members”)
acquired the number of Series A Common Units and Series B Common Units, and made
Capital Contributions with respect thereto, as set forth opposite each such
Initial Member’s name on the attached Schedule of Members.

2.3 Additional Units Issued after October 29, 2004.

(a) Issuances of Additional Units. The Board shall have the right to cause the
Company to issue or sell to Members or other Persons: (i) additional Units
(including other classes or series thereof having different rights),
(ii) obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or interests
convertible or exchangeable into Units, and (iii) warrants, options or other
rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Units.

(b) FPH Management Units. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.3(a),
from time to time after the date hereof, (i) in the event that FPH issues any
FPH Series B Units to an FPH Management Member, then in connection with such
issuance the Company will issue to FPH an equal number of Series B Common Units;
and (ii) in the event that FPH issues any FPH Series C Units to an FPH
Management Member, then in connection with such issuance the Company will issue
to FPH an equal number of Series C Common Units.

 

4

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

(c) Series C Common Units. It is presently anticipated that, when and as
determined by the Board pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and 2.3(b), the Series C
Common Units will be issued to FPH for no consideration and will represent an
interest only in profits and

appreciation of the Company after the date of issuance thereof; provided that
the Company may deem certain Capital Contributions to be made. To this end, in
connection with any grant of a Series C Common Unit, the Board will determine
the Equity Value of the Company immediately after giving effect to the grant of
such Series C Common Unit and all other Units being offered for issuance
contemporaneously with the issuance of such Series C Common Unit. Each Series C
Common Unit shall have a Threshold Equity Value, which shall be calculated by
the Board and set forth on the Schedule of Members, determined as follows:

(i) Any Series C Common Unit issued before December 31, 2004 shall have a
Threshold Equity Value equal to zero.

(ii) Any Series C Common Unit issued after December 31, 2004 shall have a
Threshold Equity Value equal to the amount that would be distributed to each
Series B Common Unit if the entire Equity Value of the Company, determined as of
immediately after such issuance, were distributed to holders of Common Units as
of immediately after such issuance in accordance with Section 4.2(b) hereof
(determined, in each case, assuming that all Units offered for issuance at such
time (other than the Series C Common Units for which a Threshold Equity Value is
then being determined) were issued immediately prior to such determination of
the Threshold Equity Value). Such Threshold Equity Value shall be established by
resolution or consent of the Board in connection with the issuance of such
Series C Common Unit.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.3(b)(i) and (ii) to the contrary,
the Board shall have the ability, in its reasonable discretion, to amend the
provisions of Section 2.3(c) and Section 4.2(b) to achieve the economic results
intended by this Agreement, including that (A) each Series B Common Unit has
identical entitlement to distributions under Section 4.2(b) and (B) the Series C
Common Units are profits interests for United States federal income tax
purposes.

(d) Capital Contributions. In connection with any issuance of additional Units
or other interests in the Company, the acquiring Person shall in exchange for
such Units or other interests make Capital Contributions to the Company in an
amount, if any, specified by the Board.

(e) Record of Additional Issuances; Amendments. In connection with any issuance
of additional Units or other interests in the Company, the Board shall amend the
Schedule of Members as necessary to reflect such additional issuances (including
the number and class of Units and Capital Contributions of the acquiring
Person), and shall have the power to make any other amendments to this Agreement
as it deems necessary to authorize any such Units or other securities, provide
for the relative rights, powers, preferences, duties, liabilities and
obligations thereof, or otherwise reflect or provide for such additional
issuances.

(f) Counterparts. As of the date hereof, each Member has executed a counterpart
of this Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in Article X, upon the
acquisition of any Units or other interests in the Company by a Person who is
not a Member, such Person shall execute and deliver a counterpart of this
Agreement and, subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in
Section 10.7 or 10.8 hereof, as applicable, such Person shall become a Member
hereunder and shall be listed as a Member on the Schedule of Members, together
with such Member’s address, number and class of Units and amount of Capital
Contributions.

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

ARTICLE III—CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

3.1 Establishment and Determination of Capital Accounts. A capital account
(“Capital Account”) shall be established for each Holder. The Capital Account of
each Holder shall consist of its initial Capital Contribution and shall be
(a) increased by (i) any additional Capital Contributions made by such Holder
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) such Holder’s share of items of
income and gain allocated to such Holder pursuant to Article IV, (b) decreased
by (i) such Holder’s share of items of loss, deduction and expense allocated to
such Holder pursuant to Article IV and (ii) any Distributions to such Holder of
cash or the fair market value of any other property (net of liabilities assumed
by such Holder and liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed to
such Holder and (c) adjusted as otherwise required by the Code and the
regulations thereunder, including, but not limited to, the rules of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Any references in this Agreement to the
Capital Account of a Holder shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as
the same may be increased or decreased from time to time as set forth above.

3.2 Computation of Amounts. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of
income, gain, loss, deduction or expense to be reflected in Capital Accounts,
the determination, recognition and classification of each such item shall be the
same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax
purposes; provided that:

 

  (i) any income that is exempt from Federal income tax shall be added to such
taxable income or losses;

 

  (ii) any expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the
Code or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), shall be subtracted from such taxable
income or losses;

 

  (iii) if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to
Treasury Regulation Section 1 .704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) (in connection with a
distribution of such property) or (f) (in connection with a revaluation of
Capital Accounts), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as
gain or loss from the disposition of such property;

 

  (iv) if property that is reflected on the books of the Company has a Book
Value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, depreciation,
amortization and gain or loss with respect to such property shall be determined
by reference to such Book Value; and

 

  (v) the computation of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense
shall be made without regard to any election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code
that may be made by the Company, unless the adjustment to basis of Company
property pursuant to such election is reflected in Capital Accounts pursuant to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

 

6

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

3.3 Negative Capital Accounts. No Holder shall be required to pay to the Company
or any other Holder any deficit or negative balance that may exist from time to
time in such Holder’s Capital Account. Notwithstanding anything expressed or
implied to the contrary in this Agreement, upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, no Holder shall be required to make any Capital
Contribution to the Company in respect of any deficit in such Holder’s Capital
Account.

3.4 Company Capital. No Holder shall be paid interest on any Capital
Contribution to the Company or on such Holder’s Capital Account, and no Holder
shall have any right (i) to demand the return of such Holder’s Capital
Contribution or any other Distribution from the Company (whether upon
resignation, withdrawal or otherwise), except upon dissolution of the Company
pursuant to Article XI hereof, (ii) to seek or obtain a partition of any Company
assets, or (iii) to own or use any particular or individual assets of the
Company.

3.5 No Withdrawal. No Holder shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such
Holder’s Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution
from the Company, except as expressly provided herein.

3.6 Loans From Holders. Loans by Holders to the Company shall not be considered
Capital Contributions. If any Holder shall loan funds to the Company in excess
of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed by such Holder to the
capital of the Company, the making of such loans shall not result in any
increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Holder. The amount of any
such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Holder and shall be payable or
collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans
are made.

3.7 Adjustments to Book Value. The Company shall adjust the Book Value of its
assets to fair market value in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as of the following times: (a) at the Board’s
discretion in connection with the issuance of Units in the Company; (b) at the
Board’s discretion in connection with the Distribution by the Company to a
Holder of more than a de minimis amount of Company assets, including cash, if as
a result of such Distribution, such Holder’s interest in the Company is reduced;
and (c) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g). Any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an
asset shall be allocated as a Profit or Loss to the Capital Accounts of the
Holders under Section 4.3 (determined immediately prior to the issuance of the
new Units or the distribution of assets in an ownership reduction transaction).

ARTICLE IV—DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

4.1 Generally. Subject to the provision of Section 18-607 of the Act and
Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(e) of this Agreement, the Board shall have sole
discretion regarding the amounts and timing of Distributions to Holders, in each
case subject to the retention of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as
it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs of the Company,
which shall include (but not by way of limitation) the payment or the making of
provision for the payment when due of Company obligations, including the payment
of any management or administrative fees and expenses or any other obligations.

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

4.2 Distributions.

(a) Tax Distributions. The Board shall use reasonable efforts, subject to any
applicable covenants and restrictions contained in the Company’s loan agreements
and other agreements or obligations to which the Company or its properties are
subject, to cause the Company to distribute to each Holder with respect each
Taxable Year (within 75 days after the close of such Taxable Year, or on a
quarterly or other basis as shall be determined by the Board in its sole
discretion to be appropriate to enable each such Holder to pay estimated income
tax liabilities) an amount equal to the product of (x) the combined maximum
marginal federal, state, and local income tax rates (taking into account the
deductibility of state and local income tax for federal income tax purposes)
applicable to any Holder (or its partners or stockholders, if applicable), as
determined by the Board after reasonable inquiry, times (y) the difference of
(i) the taxable income and gains for such Taxable Year allocated to such Holder
pursuant to Section 4.5, reduced by (ii) the sum of (A) the taxable losses and
deductions for such Taxable Year allocated to such Holder pursuant to
Section 4.5, and (B) the excess of the aggregate taxable losses and deductions
over the aggregate taxable income and gains for all prior Taxable Years
allocated to such Holder pursuant to Section 4.5, but only to the extent that
such excess can be applied or used for such Taxable Year. Where excess taxable
losses and deductions in prior Taxable Years reduce distributions under the
immediately preceding sentence, with the approval of the Board, the Company may
(but shall not be required to) distribute an amount to Holders with respect to a
Taxable Year (in proportion to the net taxable income allocated to each Holder
for such Taxable Year) in excess of the amount provided pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence sufficient (in combination with any amounts paid
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) to allow each Holder (or the
direct or indirect partners or members of a Holder) to (x) pay federal, state,
local or foreign withholding taxes imposed with respect to Company income for
such Taxable Year or (y) pay state or local tax on Company income reported on a
state or local composite tax return for such Taxable Year, where such excess
taxable losses and deductions of the Company in prior Taxable Years may not be
applied to reduce such withholding taxes or composite return taxes. The Company
shall be entitled to pay amounts distributable pursuant to the prior two
sentences by making payments to a tax authority on behalf of a Holder (or such
Holder’s direct or indirect partners or members), for example, in connection
with withholding taxes or composite return taxes and, in such case, such amounts
shall be treated as distributed to the Holder on whose behalf such payments were
made. Any Distribution to a Holder pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) (I) that is
made to a Holder of Series A Common Units as a result of taxable income and
gains allocated to such Series A Common Units, shall be treated as an advance
Distribution of Unpaid Series A Yield pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i) and shall
reduce the amount of Unpaid Series A Yield, or (II) that is made to a Holder of
Series B Common Units and/or Series C Common Units as a result of taxable income
and gains allocated to such Series B Common Units and/or Series C Common Units,
shall be treated as an advance Distribution under Section 4.2(b)(ii) and shall
be offset against future Distributions that such Holder would otherwise be
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(ii).

(b) Priority of Distributions. Subject to Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(e), all other
Distributions (including in connection with the dissolution and liquidation of
the Company pursuant to the terms of Article XI hereof) shall be made when and
as declared by the Board to the Holders in the following order and priority:

 

8

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

(i) First, to the Holders of Series A Common Units, Series B Common Units, an
amount equal to the aggregate Unreturned Original Capital and Unpaid Series A
Yield with respect to their Series A Common Units, the aggregate Unreturned
Original Capital with respect to their Series B Common Units, and the aggregate
Unreturned Original Capital with respect to their Series C Common Units
outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution (pro rata in proportion to
each Holder’s Pro Rata Share) until the aggregate Unreturned Original Capital
and Unpaid Series A Yield with respect to all Series A Common Units, and the
aggregate Unreturned Original Capital with respect to all Series B Common Units
and all Series C Common Units, outstanding immediately prior to such
Distribution has been reduced to zero; and no Distribution or any portion
thereof shall be made under Section 4.2(b)(ii) below until the entire amount of
the aggregate Unreturned Original Capital and Unpaid Series A Yield with respect
to the Series A Common Units, and the aggregate Unreturned Original Capital with
respect to the Series B Common Units and Series C Common Units, outstanding
immediately prior to such Distribution has been paid in full; and

(ii) Second, to the Holders of Series B Common Units and Series C Common Units,
an amount equal to the remainder of the aggregate amount to be Distributed (in
the proportion that the number of Series B Common Units and Series C Common
Units held by each such Holder immediately prior to such Distribution bears to
the aggregate number of Series B Common Units and Series C Common Units
outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution (subject to the next
sentence)).

For all purposes of Section 4.2(b)(ii), if any Series C Common Unit has been
granted with a Threshold Equity Value that is greater than $0 as established
pursuant to Section 2.3(c), then such Series C Common Unit will not have the
right to receive any distributions under Section 4.2(b) (and such Series C
Common Unit will be disregarded for purposes of allocating distributions among
the Holders of Series A Common Units, Series B Common Units and Series C Common
Units pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)) until the aggregate distributions made to
each Series B Common Unit outstanding at the time of such distribution are equal
to the Threshold Equity Value of such Series C Common Unit. For this purpose,
distributions shall generally include all distributions in respect of Series B
Common Units outstanding at the time of such distribution, subject to the
following. Distributions shall include tax distributions made pursuant to
Section 4.2(a) only (i) to the extent such distributions are made as a result of
the recognition of the built-in gain in any asset that existed at the time the
relevant Series C Common Unit was issued or (ii) to the extent that the relevant
Series C Common Unit is not also entitled to a tax distribution with respect to
the item or tier of taxable income giving rise to the tax distribution. For this
purpose, the tax distribution that arises from the recognition of the built-in
gain in an asset may be bifurcated between the tax distribution that relates to
the built-in gain that existed at the time the relevant Series C Common Unit was
issued and the tax distribution that relates to any additional gain in the asset
that accrued since the time the relevant Series C Common Unit was issued. In
order to preserve the economic results intended by this Agreement, including the
results set forth in Section 2.3(c)(iii), the Board may, in its reasonable
discretion, determine whether any tax distribution or portion of any tax
distribution should be considered in determining whether aggregate distributions
equal to the Threshold Equity Value have been made to the Series B Common Units
outstanding at the time of such distribution.

 

9

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

(c) In-Kind Distributions. At any time, and from time to time, the Company may
distribute to its Holders securities or other property held by the Company;
provided that any such Distribution shall not satisfy any of the Company’s
obligations pursuant to Section 4.2(a). In any Distribution pursuant to this
Section 4.2(c), the property so distributed will be distributed among the
Holders in the same proportions as cash equal to the fair market value of such
property (as determined in good faith by the Board) would be distributed among
the Holders pursuant to Section 4.2(b). The Board may require as a condition of
Distribution of securities hereunder that the Holders execute and deliver such
documents as the Board may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance
with all U.S. federal and state securities laws which apply to such Distribution
and any further transfer of the distributed securities, and may appropriately
legend the certificates which represent such securities to reflect any
restriction on transfer with respect to such laws.

(d) Sale of the Company. In connection with any Sale of the Company, unless
otherwise determined by the Board, the aggregate cash, securities and other
property to be received in such Sale of the Company as consideration in respect
of the Units shall be allocated in such Sale of the Company among the Holders as
if such consideration were Distributed by the Company to the Holders pursuant to
the provisions of Section 4.2(b).

(e) Redemption of FPH Common Units in connection with Repurchases from FPH
Management Members. In the event FPH elects to exercise its rights under any FPH
Management Equity Agreement to repurchase FPH Series B Units from an FPH
Management Member, the Company will redeem an equal number of Series B Common
Units held by FPH at a redemption price equal to the repurchase price payable by
FPH for such FPH Series B Units pursuant to the terms of such FPH Management
Equity Agreement (less any amount distributed to FPH in respect thereof by Boise
Land & Timber Holdings Corp. (“BLTH”) prior to the merger of BLTH with and into
the Company). In the event FPH elects to exercise its rights under any FPH
Management Equity Agreement to repurchase FPH Series C Units from an FPH
Management Member, the Company will redeem an equal number of Series C Common
Units held by FPH at a redemption price equal to the repurchase price, if any,
payable by FPH for such FPH Series C Units pursuant to the terms of such FPH
Management Equity Agreement (less any amount distributed to FPH in respect
thereof by BLTH prior to the merger of BLTH with and into the Company). In
either case, such redemption price will be paid to FPH in cash or, to the extent
the Company is prohibited by applicable law or by the terms of its or its
Subsidiaries’ debt financing agreements from paying such redemption price in
cash, by issuance of a promissory note to FPH in the amount and on substantially
the same terms as the promissory note that such FPH Management Equity Agreement
provides will be issued by FPH in lieu of cash to such FPH Management Member for
such FPH Series B Units or FPH Series C Units, as applicable. The Members agree
that any repurchase or redemption in accordance with this Section 4.2(e) shall
not be deemed to violate and shall not be deemed to trigger the rights of any
Member under any other agreement to which such Member is party with the Company
(including the Securityholders Agreement).

4.3 Allocation of Profits and Losses. For each Fiscal Year of the Company, after
adjusting each Holder’s Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and
distributions during such Fiscal Year and all special allocations pursuant to
Section 4.4 with respect to such Fiscal Year, all Profits and Losses (other than
Profits and Losses specially allocated pursuant to Section 4.4) shall be
allocated to the Holders’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end
of

 

10

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

such Fiscal Year, the Capital Account of each Holder (which may be either a
positive or negative balance) shall be equal to (i) the amount which would be
distributed to such Holder, determined as if the Company were to liquidate all
of its assets for the Book Value thereof and distribute the proceeds thereof
(after payment of all Company debts, liabilities and obligations) pursuant to
Section 4.2(b) hereof, minus (ii) the sum of (A) such Holder’s share of Company
Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(d)
and (g)(3)) and Member Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)) and (B) the amount, if any, which such Holder is
obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company as of the last day of such
Fiscal Year.

4.4 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3:

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the
Holders of Common Units, pro rata in proportion to the total number of such
Common Units held by each such Holder. If there is a net decrease in Company
Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated
items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary,
subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net
decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined
in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be
allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).
Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if
there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each
Holder that has a share of such Member Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated
items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary,
subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Holder’s share of the net
decrease in Member Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this
paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Unexpected Adjustments. If any Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations or Distributions described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of taxable income and gain
shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient
to eliminate the adjusted capital account deficit (determined according to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)) created by such adjustments,
allocations or Distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended
to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain
requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations),
the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into

 

11

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

account in allocating Profits and Losses among Holders so that, to the extent
possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other
items and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that,
although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Holder
shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member
if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(e) Transactions between Holders and the Company. If, and to the extent that,
any Holder is deemed to recognize any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit as a result of any transaction between such Holder and the Company
pursuant to Code Sections 1272-1274, 7872, 483, 482, 83 or any similar provision
now or hereafter in effect, and the Board determines that any corresponding
Profit or Loss of the Company should be allocated to the Holder who recognized
such item in order to reflect the Holder’s economic interests in the Company,
then the Board may so allocate such Profit or Loss.

4.5 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).

(a) General. The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company
shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the
Holders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses,
deductions and expenses among the Holders for computing their Capital Accounts,
except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other
applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and
expenses shall be allocated among the Holders so as to reflect as nearly as
possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect
to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax
purposes, be allocated among the Holders so as to take account of any variation
between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income
tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution.

(c) Adjustment of Book Value. If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted
pursuant to Section 4.5, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income,
gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to such asset shall take account
of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax
purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

(d) Board Authority. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations
for federal, state and local income tax purposes shall be made by the Board in
any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.5 are solely for purposes of federal,
state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account
in computing, any Holder’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other
items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

4.6 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to Section 8.3 from any
Distribution to a Holder shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Holder
pursuant to this Article IV for all purposes under this Agreement.

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

(b) Power to Bind Company. Unless the Board consists of one Director, no
Director (acting in his capacity as such) shall have any authority to bind the
Company to any third party with respect to any matter except pursuant to a
resolution expressly authorizing such action, which resolution is duly adopted
by the Board by the affirmative vote required for such matter pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

(c) Officer Supervision. The management of the business and affairs of the
Company by the officers and the exercising of their powers shall be conducted
under the supervision of and subject to the approval of the Board.

5.2 Actions by the Directors; Committees; Delegation of Authority and Duties.

(a) Board of Directors. In managing the business and affairs of the Company and
exercising their powers, the Directors shall be members of and shall act as a
Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board may act (i) through meetings and
written consents pursuant to Sections 5.5 and 5.7, (ii) through committees
pursuant to Section 5.2(c) and (iii) through any officer to whom authority and
duties have been delegated pursuant to Sections 5.2(e) and 5.9.

(b) Time and Attention. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that no Director
shall, as a result of being a Director (as such), be bound to devote all of his
business time to the affairs of the Company, and that he and his Affiliates do
and will continue to engage for their own account and for the accounts of others
in other business ventures.

(c) Committees. The Board may, from time to time, designate one or more
committees, each of which shall be composed of at least two Directors. Any such
committee, to the extent provided in such resolution or in the Certificate or
this Agreement, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board
delegated to such committee. The Board may dissolve any committee at any time,
unless otherwise provided in the Certificate or this Agreement.

(d) Committee Rules. Unless the Board otherwise provides, each committee
designated by the Board may adopt, amend and repeal rules for the conduct of its
business. In the absence of a resolution by the Board or a provision in the
rules of such committee to the contrary, the presence of a majority of the total
number of members of such committee shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of the Board
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such
committee.

(e) Delegation; Generally. The Board may, from time to time, delegate to one or
more Persons (including any Director or officer) such authority and duties as
the Board may deem advisable. The Board also may assign titles to any Director,
Holder or other individual and may delegate to such Director, Holder or other
individual certain authority and duties. Any number of titles may be held by the
same Director, Holder or other individual. Any delegation pursuant to this
Section 5.2(e) may be revoked at any time by the Board.

 

14

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

5.3 Number and Term of Office. Each Director shall be a “manager” as described
in the Act. The initial number of Directors and members of the Board of
Directors was six. Thereafter, the number of Directors has been and may be
established from time to time by the affirmative vote of the Members holding the
Required Interest and as of the date of this Agreement the number of Directors
and members of the Board is nine. The initial Directors were Samuel M. Mencoff,
Thomas S. Souleles, Christopher J. McGowan, Zaid F. Alsikafi, and W. Thomas
Stephens and, by execution of a predecessor version of this Agreement, the
Members holding the Required Interest approved by written consent the
appointment of such persons as Directors of the Company, and such agreement
served as a written consent of members in lieu of a meeting pursuant to
Section 18-302 of the Act with respect to the election of Directors of the Board
as set forth above. Each Director shall hold office for the term for which he is
elected and thereafter until his successor shall have been elected and
qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. A Director need
not be a Member or a Holder and need not be a resident of the State of Delaware.

5.4 Vacancies; Removal; Resignation. Any Director position to be filled by
reason of an increase in the number of Directors or by any other reason shall be
filled by the affirmative vote of the Members holding the Required Interest. A
Director elected to fill a vacancy occurring other than by reason of an increase
in the number of Directors shall be elected for the unexpired term of his
predecessor in office. Any Director may be removed, with or without cause, by
the Members holding the Required Interest. Any Director may resign at any time.
Such resignation shall be made 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
remaining Directors. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to
make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation.

5.5 Board Meetings.

(a) Quorum; Voting. A majority of the total number of Directors fixed by, or in
the manner provided in, this Agreement shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business of the Board, and except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting of the
Board at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board. A Director who
is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any Company matter is
taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action unless his dissent shall
be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written
dissent to such action with the Person acting as secretary of the meeting before
the adjournment thereof or shall deliver such dissent to the Company immediately
after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a
Director who voted in favor of such action.

(b) Place; Attendance. Meetings of the Board may be held at such place or places
as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. 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 Directors. Attendance of a
Director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except where a Director attends a 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.

 

15

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

(c) Meeting In Connection With Member Meeting. In connection with any annual
meeting of Members at which Directors were elected, the Board may, if a quorum
is present, hold a first meeting for the transaction of business immediately
after and at the same place as such annual meeting of the Members. Notice of
such meeting at such time and place shall not be required.

(d) Time, Place and Notice. 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
Directors, or as requested by the Members holding the Required Interest. Notice
of such meetings shall not be required.

(e) Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board may be called by any
Director on at least 24 hours’ notice to each other Director. Such notice need
not state the purpose or purposes of, nor the business to be transacted at, such
meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in this
Agreement.

5.6 Approval or Ratification of Acts or Contracts by Members. Any Director in
his discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at
any meeting of the Board, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be
ratified by the Board shall be as valid and as binding upon the Company and upon
all the Members as if it shall have been approved or ratified by every Member of
the Company.

5.7 Action by Written Consent or Telephone Conference. Any action permitted or
required by the Act, the Certificate or this Agreement to be taken at a meeting
of the Board or any committee designated by the Board may be taken without a
meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is signed
by not less than the minimum number of Directors or members of such committee,
as the case may be, that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at
which all Directors or members of such committee, as the case may be, were
present and voted. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote
at a meeting and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with
the Secretary of State of Delaware, and the execution of such consent shall
constitute attendance or presence in person at a meeting of the Board or any
such committee, as the case may be. Prompt notice of the taking of any action
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent will be given to those
Directors or members of such committee, as applicable, who did not consent in
writing to such action. Subject to the requirements of the Act, the Certificate
or this Agreement for notice of meetings, unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate, the Directors or members of any committee designated by the Board
may participate in and hold a meeting of the Board or any committee of
Directors, as the case may be, 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 meeting shall constitute
attendance and presence in person at such meeting, except where a person
participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the
transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

 

16

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

5.8 Compensation. The Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of
Directors, including, without limitation, a stated salary or other compensation
for attendance at each meeting of the Board or a stated annual salary as a
Director; provided that no such compensation shall be payable to any Director
who is a management employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Upon submission
of reasonable documentation, a Director shall be paid his or her reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board. None
of the foregoing payments shall preclude any Director from serving the Company
in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or
standing committees may, as determined by the Board, be allowed like
compensation for attending committee meetings.

5.9 Officers.

(a) Designation and Appointment. The Board may (but need not), from time to
time, designate and appoint one or more persons as an officer of the Company. An
officer need not be a resident of the State of Delaware, a Holder nor a
Director. Any officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such
duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board may
assign titles (including chairman, chief executive officer, president, vice
president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer) to
particular officers. Unless the Board otherwise decides, if the title is one
commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed, the assignment of
such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and
duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to (i) any
specific delegation of authority and duties made to such officer by the Board
pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 5.9(a) and (ii) any delegation of
authority and duties made to one or more officers pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.2(e). Each officer shall hold office until such officer’s successor
shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until such officer’s death or
until such officer shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner
hereinafter provided. Any number of offices may be held by the same individual.
The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the officers and agents of the
Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Board.

(b) Resignation. Any officer (subject to any contract rights available to the
Company, if applicable) may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall
be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no
time be 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. Any officer may be removed as such, either with or
without cause, by the Board in its discretion at any time; provided, however,
that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of
the individual so removed. Designation of an officer shall not of itself create
contract rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be
filled by the Board.

5.10 Reliance by Third Parties. Any Person dealing with the Company, other than
a Holder, may rely on the authority of the Board (or any Director or officer
authorized by the Board) in taking any action in the name of the Company without
inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance herewith, regardless
of whether that action actually is taken in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. Every agreement, instrument or document executed by the Board
(or any Director or officer authorized by the Board) in the name of the Company
with respect to any business or property of the Company shall be conclusive
evidence in favor of any Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that
(i) at the time of the execution or delivery thereof, this Agreement was in full
force and effect, (ii) such agreement, instrument or document was duly executed
according to this Agreement and is binding upon the Company and (iii) the Board
or such Director or officer was duly authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver such agreement, instrument or document for and on behalf of the Company.

 

17

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

ARTICLE VI—MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

6.1 Lack of Authority. No Holder or Member (in its capacity as such) has the
authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Company, to do any act that
would be binding on the Company or to make any expenditures on behalf of the
Company, unless (i) such specific authority has been expressly granted to and
not revoked from such Person by the Board or (ii) such specific authority has
been expressly granted to such Person pursuant to this Agreement, and the
Holders hereby consent to the exercise by the Board of the powers conferred on
them by law and this Agreement.

6.2 Member Meetings.

(a) Quorum; Voting. A quorum shall be present at a meeting of Members if the
Members holding a Required Interest are represented at the meeting in person or
by proxy. With respect to any matter, other than a matter for which the
affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion of all Members entitled
to vote is required by the Act, the affirmative vote of the Members holding the
Required Interest at a meeting of Members at which a quorum is present shall be
the act of the Members.

(b) Place; Attendance. All meetings of the Members shall be held at the
principal place of business of the Company or at such other place within or
outside the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or
waivers of notice thereof; provided that any or all Members may participate in
any such meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications
equipment pursuant to Section 6.5.

(c) Power to Adjourn. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate or
this Agreement, the chairman of the meeting or the Members holding the Required
Interest shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without
any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the
holding of the adjourned meeting. If such meeting is adjourned by the Members,
such time and place shall be determined by a vote of the Members holding the
Required Interest. Upon the resumption of such adjourned meeting, any business
may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
called.

(d) Meetings. Meetings of the Members for any proper purpose or purposes may be
called at any time by the Board or by Members holding the Required Interest. If
not otherwise stated in or fixed in accordance with the remaining provisions
hereof, the record date for determining Members entitled to call a special
meeting is the date any Member first signs the notice of that meeting. Only
business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice (or waiver
thereof) required by this Agreement may be conducted at a meeting of the
Members.

(e) Notice. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the

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

(f) Fixing of Record Date. The date on which notice of a meeting of Members is
mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring a
Distribution is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for the
determination of the Members entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting
(including any adjournment thereof) or the Members entitled to receive such
Distribution.

(g) No Cumulative Voting. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of
Directors hereunder.

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

6.4 Conduct of Meetings. The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings
of the Members, or in his absence, the Members attending the meeting shall elect
their own chairman of the meeting. The Secretary of the Company shall act as
secretary of all meetings of the Members and keep the minutes. In the absence of
the Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as the

6.5 Action by Written Consent or Telephone Conference.

(a) Action By Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at
any annual or special meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting, without
prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting
forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Member or Members holding not
less than the minimum percentages of Units or each class of Units that would be
necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote
on the action were present and voted. Every written consent shall bear

 

19

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

the date of signature of each Member who signs the consent. No written consent
shall be effective to take the action that is the subject to the consent unless,
within 60 days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the
Company in the manner required by this Section, a consent or consents signed by
the Member or Members holding not less than the minimum percentages of Units or
each class of Units that would be necessary to take the action that is the
subject of the consent are delivered to the Company by delivery to its
registered office, its principal place of business or the Board. Delivery shall
be by hand or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Delivery
to the Company’s principal place of business shall be addressed to a Director. A
telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by a Member, or a
photographic, photo static, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing
signed by a Member, shall be regarded as signed by the Member for purposes of
this Section. Prompt notice of the taking of any action by Members without a
meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Members
entitled to vote on such action and who did not consent in writing to the
action.

(b) Fixing of Record Date. The record date for determining Members entitled to
consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which
a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken
is delivered to the Company by delivery to its registered office, its principal
place of business, or the Board. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested. Delivery to the Company’s principal
place of business shall be addressed to a Director.

(c) State Filings. If any action by Members is taken by written consent, any
certificate or documents filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware as a
result of the taking of the action shall state, in lieu of any statement
required by the Act concerning any vote of Members, that written consent has
been given in accordance with the provisions of the Act and that any written
notice required by the Act has been given.

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

ARTICLE VII—LIMITED LIABILITY, EXCULPATION, AND INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Limited Liability of Members.

(a) Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise required by applicable law and
as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, the debts, liabilities, commitments
and other obligations of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or
otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the
Company, and no Member or Holder shall have any personal liability whatsoever in
its capacity as a Member or Holder, whether to the Company, to any of the other
Members or Holders, to the creditors of the Company or to any other Person, for
the debts, liabilities, commitments or any other obligations of the Company or
for any Losses of the Company. Accordingly, a Member or Holder shall be liable
only to make its Capital Contributions to the Company required pursuant to the
terms hereof and the other payments expressly provided for herein.

 

20

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

(b) Observance of Formalities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the failure of the Company, or any Director or Holder, to observe any
formalities or procedural or other requirements relating to the exercise of its
powers or management of the Company’s business and affairs under this Agreement
or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on any of the
Members or Holders.

(c) Return of Distributions. In accordance with the Act and the laws of the
State of Delaware, a member of a limited liability company may, under certain
circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such
member. It is the intent of the Holders that no Distribution to any Holder
pursuant to Article IV hereof shall be deemed a return of money or other
property paid or distributed in violation of the Act. The payment of any such
Distribution of money or property to a Holder shall be deemed to be a compromise
within the meaning of the Act, and the Holder receiving any such money or
property shall not be required to return to any Person any such money or
property. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Holder is obligated to
make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation solely of such
Holder and not of any other Holder or Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Holder will be required to return to the Company any Distribution to the extent
made to it in clear and manifest accounting, clerical, or other similar error
(as determined in good faith by the Board).

7.2 Exculpation of Covered Persons. The personal liability of any Covered Person
to any Director, the Company or to any Member or Holder for any loss suffered by
the Company or any monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties is hereby
eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. The Covered Persons shall
not be liable for errors in judgment. Any Covered Person may consult with
counsel and accountants and any Member, Director, officer, employee or committee
of the Company or other professional expert in respect of Company affairs, and
provided the Covered Person acts in good faith reliance upon the advice or
opinion of such counsel or accountants or other persons, the Covered Person
shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Company in reliance thereon. If
the Act is hereafter amended or interpreted to permit further limitation of the
liability of a Covered Person beyond the foregoing, then this paragraph shall be
interpreted to limit the personal liability of the Covered Person to the fullest
extent permitted by the Act, as amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to limit the personal
liability of the Covered Person to a greater extent than that permitted by said
law prior to such amendment). In furtherance of, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no Covered Person shall be (a) personally liable
for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company, including any such
debts, obligations or liabilities arising under a judgment, decree or order of a
court; (b) obligated to cure any deficit in any Capital Account; (c) required to
return all or any portion of any Capital Contribution; or (d) required to lend
any funds to the Company.

7.3 Right to Indemnification for Covered Persons. Subject to the limitations and
conditions as provided in this Article VII, each Person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitrative (hereinafter a

 

21

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

“Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or
investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that
he or she, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was
a Covered Person or while a Covered Person is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor,
trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic
limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole
proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be
indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the
same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to
such amendment) against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes
and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in
connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this Article VII
shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity that
initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder; provided that no such
Person shall be indemnified for any judgments, penalties, fines, settlements or
expenses (i) to the extent attributable to conduct for which indemnification
would not be permitted under the Act or other applicable law, (ii) for any
present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by
such Person contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement with the
Company, or (iii) in any action (except an action to enforce indemnification
rights set forth in this Section 7.3) brought by such Person. It is expressly
acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Article could involve
indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability.

7.4 Contract with Company. The rights granted pursuant to this Article VII shall
be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this
Article shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with
respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any amendment,
modification or repeal.

7.5 Advance Payment. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VII
shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable
expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under
Section 7.3 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or
respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding
and without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to
indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred
by any such Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be
made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Person
of his or her good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct
necessary for indemnification under Article VII and a written undertaking, by or
on behalf of such Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be
indemnified under this Article VII or otherwise.

7.6 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company, by adoption of a
resolution of the Board, may indemnify and advance expenses to any employees or
agents of the Company who are not or were not Covered Persons but who are or
were serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer,
partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary
of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation,
partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise against liabilities and expenses asserted against such Person
and incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of their status as
such a Person, to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to
Covered Persons under this Article VII.

 

22

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

7.7 Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
VII, the Company may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a Covered Person in
connection with the appearance as a witness or other participation in a
Proceeding at a time when such Covered Person is not a named defendant or
respondent in the Proceeding.

7.8 Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement
and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of
any other right that a Covered Person or other Person indemnified pursuant to
Section 7.6 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory),
provision of the Certificate or this Agreement, any agreement, vote of Members
or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

7.9 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense,
to protect itself and any Person who is or was serving as a Covered Person or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer,
partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary
of another foreign or domestic limited ability company, corporation,
partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise 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 this Article VII.

7.10 Savings Clause. If this Article VII or any portion hereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Director or any
other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article VII as to costs, charges and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any
applicable portion of this Article VII that shall not have been invalidated and
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

7.11 Investment Opportunities; Conflicts of Interest.

(a) Directors. Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement and of
any agreement entered into by a Member with the Company or its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, each Director of the Company at any time and from time to time may
engage in and own interests in other business ventures of any and every type and
description, independently or with others (including ones in competition with
the Company) with no obligation to offer to the Company or any other Member,
Holder, Director or officer the right to participate therein.

(b) FPH. The Holders expressly acknowledge that, subject to the other express
provisions of this Agreement, (i) FPH and its respective Affiliates are
permitted to have, and may presently or in the future have, investments or other
business relationships with entities engaged in the forestry products business
(including in areas in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may in the
future engage in business), and in related businesses other than through the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (an “Other Business”), (ii) FPH and its
respective Affiliates have and may develop a strategic relationship with
businesses

 

23

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

that are and may be competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
(iii) none of FPH or its respective Affiliates (including their respective
representatives serving on the Board) will be prohibited by virtue of their
investments in the Company or its Subsidiaries or their service on the Board
from pursuing and engaging in any such activities, (iv) none of FPH or its
respective Affiliates (including their respective representatives serving on the
Board) will be obligated to inform the Company, or any Member, Holder, Director,
or officer of any such opportunity, relationship or investment, (v) neither the
Company nor any other Member, Holder, Director or officer will acquire or be
entitled to any interest or participation in any Other Business as a result of
the participation therein of any of FPH or its respective Affiliates and
(vi) the involvement of FPH or its respective Affiliates (including their
respective representatives serving on the Board) in any Other Business will not
constitute a conflict of interest by such Persons with respect to the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or its Members or Holders.

(c) Transactions with the Company. The Company may transact business with any
Director, Member, Holder or officer or any Affiliate thereof; provided that the
terms of such transactions are no less favorable than those the Company could
obtain on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties.

ARTICLE VIII—TAX MATTERS

8.1 Tax Returns. The Board shall cause to be prepared and filed all necessary
federal and state income tax and other tax returns for the Company, including
making any elections the Board may deem appropriate and in the best interests of
the Members. Each Holder shall furnish to the Board all pertinent information in
its possession relating to Company operations that is necessary to enable the
Company’s income tax and other tax returns to be prepared and filed.

8.2 Tax Matters Member. Unless and until the Members shall otherwise unanimously
agree, FPH shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company pursuant to
Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”).

(a) Authority of Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member is authorized to
represent the Company before the Internal Revenue Service and any other
governmental agency with jurisdiction, and to sign such consents and to enter
into settlements and other agreements with such agencies as the Board deems
necessary or advisable.

(b) Tax Elections. The Tax Matters Member may, in its sole discretion, make or
revoke any election under the Code or the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder
(including for this purpose any new or amended Treasury Regulations issued after
the date of formation of the Company), including, without limitation, an
election to be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes
pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3.

 

24

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

(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. Promptly following the written request of the Tax
Matters Member, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
reimburse and indemnify the Tax Matters Member for all reasonable expenses,
including reasonable legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and
damages incurred by the Tax Matters Member in connection with any administrative
or judicial proceeding (i) with respect to the tax liability of the Company
and/or (ii) with respect to the tax liability of the Holders in connection with
the operations of the Company.

(d) Survival of Provisions. The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall survive the
termination of the Company or the termination of any Holder’s interest in the
Company and shall remain binding on the Holders for as long a period of time as
is necessary to resolve with the Internal Revenue Service any and all matters
regarding the Federal income taxation or other taxes of the Company or the
Holders.

8.3 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Holder. If the
Company is obligated to pay any amount to a governmental agency (or otherwise
makes a payment) because of a Holder’s status or otherwise specifically
attributable to a Holder (including, without limitation, federal withholding
taxes with respect to foreign Persons, state personal property taxes, state
personal property replacement taxes, state withholding taxes, state
unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then such Holder (the “Indemnifying
Holder”) shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid
(including, without limitation, any interest, penalties and expenses associated
with such payments). The amount to be indemnified shall be charged against the
Capital Account of the Indemnifying Holder, and, at the option of the Board,
either:

(a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company, the
Indemnifying Holder shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to the full
amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid shall be added to the Indemnifying
Holder’s Capital Account but shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution), or

(b) the Company shall reduce distributions which would otherwise be made to the
Indemnifying Holder, until the Company has recovered the amount to be
indemnified (and, notwithstanding Section 3.1, the amount withheld shall not be
treated as a Capital Contribution).

A Holder’s obligation to make contributions to the Company under this
Section 8.3 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding
up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 8.3, the Company shall be
treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and enforce all
rights and remedies it may have against each Holder under this Section 8.3,
including instituting a lawsuit to collect such contribution with interest
calculated at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus three percentage points per
annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).

obligations or breach of fiduciary duties) or (z) is disclosed in a prospectus
or other documents for dissemination to the public. Nothing in this Section 9.4
shall in any way limit or otherwise modify any confidentiality covenants entered
into by the Management Members pursuant to the Management Equity Agreements or
any other agreement entered into with the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(a) Generally. THE TRANSFER OF ANY INTEREST IN THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO THE
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND, WITH RESPECT TO
CERTAIN HOLDERS PARTY HERETO, THE SECURITYHOLDERS AGREEMENT (WHICH RESTRICTIONS
ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE). THE BOARD, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, MAY
PROHIBIT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OF AN EQUITY INTEREST IF SUCH TRANSFER FAILS TO
SATISFY ONE OF THE SAFE HARBORS SET FORTH IN TREASURY REGULATION SECTION

27

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

10.2 Incorporation of the Company. The Board may, in advance of, and in order to
facilitate, a Public Offering of securities of the Company, or for other reasons
that the Board deems to be in the best interests of the Company, cause the
Company to incorporate its business, or any portion thereof, including, without
limitation, by way of: (a) the Transfer of all of the assets of the Company,
subject to the liabilities of the Company, or the Transfer of any portion of
such assets and liabilities, to one or more corporations in exchange for equity
interests of said corporation(s) and the subsequent distribution of such equity
interests, at such time as the Board may determine, to the Holders in accordance

any Units outstanding thereafter that shall not have been tendered for exchange
shall represent only the right to receive a certificate representing the number
of equity interests of said corporation(s) as provided in the terms of the
exchange, (c) the merger of the Company with and into a corporation as a result
of which the Holders receive as merger consideration equity interests of such
corporation, as the surviving entity to the merger, which merger shall not be

organizational documents of any such new corporation or entity, its equity
interests and/or a shareholders’ or other agreement, as appropriate, will in all
material respects reflect and be consistent with the terms and provisions
applicable to each Holder’s ownership of Units immediately prior to such
transaction; provided further, that each Holder is, as a result of such
transaction, in substantially the same ownership position with respect to the
Company (or its successor) as it was in immediately prior to such transaction.
Each Holder will take all reasonable actions in connection with the consummation
of such conversion as requested by the Board.

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

(c) Rights and Obligations of Assignee. Unless and until an assignee becomes a
substituted Member pursuant to Section 10.5, the assignee shall not be entitled
to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable law,
other than the rights granted specifically to assignees pursuant to this
Agreement or pursuant to the Act; provided that without relieving the assigning
Holder from any such limitations or obligations, as more fully described in
Section 10.4(e) hereof, such assignee shall be bound by any limitations and
obligations of a Holder contained herein by which a Member or other Holder would
be bound on account of the assignee’s interest in the Company (including the
obligation to make required Capital Contributions with respect to any
transferred Units).

(d) Acceptance of Benefits. Any Person who acquires in any manner whatsoever any
Units or other interest in the Company, irrespective of whether such Person has
accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
shall be deemed by the acceptance of the benefits of the acquisition thereof to
have agreed to be subject to and bound by all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement that any predecessor in such Units or other interest in the Company of
such Person was subject to or by which such predecessor was bound.

(e) Rights and Obligations of Assignor. Any Member or Holder who shall assign
any Units or other interest in the Company shall cease to be a Member or Holder
of the Company with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer
have any rights or privileges of a Member or Holder with respect to such Units
or other interest, except that the applicable provisions of Article VII shall
continue to inure to the benefit of such Member or Holder in accordance with the
terms thereof. Unless and until such an assignee is admitted as a substituted
Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5 hereof, (i) such
assigning Holder shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of
a Holder with respect to such Units or other interest, including, without
limitation, the obligation (together with its assignee, pursuant to
Section 10.4(c) hereof) to make and return Capital Contributions on account of
such Units or other interest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and
(ii) the Board may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the
rights and privileges of such Holder with respect to such Units or other
interest for any period of time prior to the date such assignee becomes a
substituted Member. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Holder who
transfers any Units or other interest in the Company from any liability of such
Holder to the Company or the other Holders with respect to such Units or other
interest that may exist on the date such assignee becomes a substituted Member
or that is otherwise specified in the Act and incorporated into this Agreement
or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any materially false
statement made by such Holder (in its capacity as such) in any Management Equity
Agreement or for any present or future breaches of any representations,
warranties or covenants by such Holder (in its capacity as such) contained
herein or in the other agreements with the Company.

10.5 Admission of Substituted Member.

(a) Admission. An assignee of any Units or other interests in the Company of a
Member, or any portion thereof, shall become a substituted Member entitled to
all the rights of a Member if and only if (i) the assignor gives the assignee
such right, (ii) the Board has granted its prior written consent to such
assignment and substitution, which consent may be withheld in the sole
discretion of the Board, and (iii) such assignee shall execute and deliver a
counterpart of this Agreement agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and such

 

29

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

other documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect
such Person’s admission as a substituted Member, in form satisfactory to the
Board. Any such assignee will become a substituted Member on the later of
(i) the effective date of Transfer, and (ii) the date on which all of the
conditions set forth in the preceding sentence have been satisfied.

(b) Update Schedule of Members. Upon the admission of a substituted Member, the
Schedule of Members attached hereto shall be amended to reflect the name,
address, number and class of Units and amount of Capital Contributions of such
substituted Member and to eliminate the name and address of and other
information relating to the assigning Member with regard to the assigned Units
and other interests in the Company.

10.6 Admission of Additional Members.

(a) Admission. A Person may be admitted to the Company as an additional Member
only as contemplated under Section 2.3 hereof and only if such additional Member
shall execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement agreeing to be bound
by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such other documents
and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s
admission as an additional Member (including pursuant to a Management Equity
Agreement, as applicable, and such other documents referenced therein), in form
satisfactory to the Board. Such admission shall become effective on the date on
which the Board determines in its sole discretion that such conditions have been
satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the
Company.

(b) Updated Schedule of Members. Upon the admission of an additional Member, the
Schedule of Members attached hereto shall be amended to reflect the name,
address, number and class of Units and amount of Capital Contributions of such
additional Member.

10.7 Effect of Incapacity. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Incapacity
of a Member shall not dissolve or terminate the Company. In the event of such
Incapacity, the executor, administrator, guardian, trustee or other personal
representative of the Incapacitated Member shall be deemed to be the assignee of
such Member’s Units or other interests in the Company and may, subject to the
approval of the Board, become a substituted Member upon the terms and conditions
set forth in Section 10.5.

ARTICLE XI—DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

11.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound
up on the first to occur of the following:

(a) a determination by the Board;

(b) the written consent of the Members holding the Required Interest; or

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

 

30

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

The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional or substituted
Members. The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or
dissolution of a Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates
the continued membership of a Member in the Company, shall not cause a
dissolution of the Company. Except as otherwise set forth in this Article XI,
the Company is intended to have perpetual existence.

11.2 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Board shall
act as liquidators or may appoint one or more Members as liquidator. The
liquidators 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
liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the
liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the
power and authority of the Board. The steps to be accomplished by the
liquidators are as follows:

(a) Proper Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after
final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by
a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets,
liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which
the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(b) Notice. The liquidators shall cause the notice described in the Act to be
mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner
described thereunder;

(c) Satisfaction of Liabilities. The liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge
from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company
(including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation) or
otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof;

(d) Contractual Claims. The liquidators shall make reasonable provision to pay
all contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual claims known to the
Company;

(e) Compensation for Claims. The liquidators shall make such provision as will
be reasonably likely to be sufficient to provide compensation for any claim
against the Company which is the subject of a pending action, suit or proceeding
to which the Company is a party;

(f) Unknown Claims. The liquidators shall make such provision as will be
reasonably likely to be sufficient for claims that have not been made known to
the Company or that have not arisen but that, based on facts known to the
Company, are likely to arise or to become known to the Company within 10 years
after the date of dissolution; and

(g) Remaining Assets. All remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed
to the Holders in accordance with Section 4.2(b) 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 Holders 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 distributees pursuant
to this Section 11.2. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Holder in

 

31

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

accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2 constitutes a complete
return to the Holder of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to
the Holder of its interest in the Company and all of the Company’s property and
constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning
of the Act. To the extent that a Holder returns funds to the Company, it has no
claim against any other Holder for those funds.

11.3 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the Distribution of Company
assets as provided herein, the Company shall be terminated, and 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 1.1 or 12.3 and take such other actions
as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

11.4 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the
orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the
liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof in order to minimize
any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

11.5 Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the
return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Holders (it being
understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets).

ARTICLE XII—GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) Granting of Power of Attorney. Each Holder hereby constitutes and appoints

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.

12.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to
herein constitute the entire agreement of the Members and their Affiliates
relating to the Company and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with
respect to the Company, whether oral or written.

12.7 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.

may be amended, modified, or waived from time to time only by the written
consent of the Members holding the Required Interest.

12.9 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this
Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the
Members, Holders, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors
and assigns.

12.10 Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY
CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event
of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any provision
of the Certificate or any mandatory provision of the Act, the applicable
provision of the Certificate or the Act shall control. If any provision of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held
invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances are not affected
thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by
law.

12.11 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, each Holder shall execute and deliver any additional
documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and
those transactions.

12.12 Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Holder irrevocably waives any right it may
have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of
the property of the Company, for any rights of appraisal it may have under
Section 18-210 of the Act, or for any rights to information from the Company
provided under Section 18-305 of the Act.

 

35

12.14 Remedies. Each Holder shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this
Agreement and all rights and remedies which such Person has been granted at any
time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such
Person has under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of
this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereby shall be entitled to
enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to
recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and
to exercise all other rights granted by law.

12.15 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any
other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced
in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein.

12.16 Descriptive Headings; Interpretations. The descriptive headings of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive
part of this Agreement. All references to Articles and Sections refer to
articles and sections of this Agreement, and all references to Schedules are to
schedules attached hereto, each of which is incorporated herein and made a part
hereof for all purposes. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in
this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter
forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the

or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and
if applicable hereof. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal

ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall
be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict
exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall
control but solely to the extent of such conflict.

12.17 Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the
benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the Company or any of its
Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate
agreement executed by the Company in favor of such creditor) at any time as a

12.18 Delivery by Facsimile. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein,
and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or
therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or
thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine,
shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or
instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if
it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request
of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party
hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to
all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall
raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any
signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the
use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a
contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

12.19 No Public Disclosure. The Company shall not disclose any holder of
Investor Units’ name or identity as an investor in the Company in any press
release or other public announcement or in any document or material filed with
any governmental entity, without the prior written consent of such Person,
unless such disclosure is required by applicable law or governmental regulations
or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which case prior to making

such Person to review and comment upon the form and substance of such
disclosure.

12.21 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with

Company with respect to such Unit pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i) (and that, in
the case of a Series A Common Unit, constitute payment of Unreturned Original
Capital on such Series A Common Unit), including the amount of any distribution
pursuant to Section 4.2(c) that would have been made under Section 4.2(b)(i) if
cash equal to the fair market value of the property had been distributed
pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i) instead of the property itself,

(ii) with respect to any Series B Common Unit issued after December 31, 2004, an
amount equal to the amount determined in clause (i) of this definition for a

date of such merger), over (b) the aggregate amount of prior distributions made
