ARTICLE IV
MEMBERS AND MEETINGS

provided in the Act, no Member or any representative of a Member will be

receive any distributions from the Company, (iii) will not otherwise be entitled
to receive consideration for his Share except pursuant to the Stock Purchase

Agreement prior to such withdrawal.
               (b) Other than as provided in Section 4.3(a), the Members may not
resign or withdraw from the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up of
the Company, except in connection with a Transfer of Shares pursuant to the

distribution and will not otherwise be entitled to receive the fair value of its
Shares except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

herein or as may be fixed from time to time by the Members, or at such other
place either within or without the State of Delaware or the United States as may
be designated from time to time by the Members and stated in the notice of the
meeting or in a duly executed waiver of the notice thereof. Meetings of Members
for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the

          SECTION 4.6. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Members for any
purpose or purposes, unless otherwise provided by statute, this Agreement or any
written agreement entered into by and between the Company and all of its
Members, may be called by any Member or Members holding not less than ten
percent (10%) of all the Shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Business
transacted at any special meeting of the Members will be limited to the purpose
or purposes stated in the notice, unless the Members representing a majority of
the issued and outstanding Shares entitled to vote otherwise consent thereto
either at the special meeting or in writing executed subsequent to the meeting.
          SECTION 4.7. Notice of Meetings.
               (a) Written notice stating the place, day, and hour of the
meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is

(50) days before the date of the meeting, either personally, by facsimile, by
mail, by the Secretary of the Company to each Member of record of Shares
entitled to vote at such meeting. Notice to Members, if mailed, will be deemed
delivered as to any Member when deposited in the U. S. mail, addressed to the
Member, with postage prepaid, but, if two successive letters mailed to the
last-known address of any Member are returned as undeliverable, no further
notices to such Member will be necessary until another address for such Member
is made known to the Company. Notice to Members, if by facsimile, will, if sent
during normal business hours of the recipient, be deemed delivered on the date
of receipt of transmission to the facsimile number provided by or on behalf of
the Member being mechanically acknowledged and, if not sent during normal
business hours, on the next Business Day.
               (b) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice
need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned
meeting, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted
at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a
notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each Member holding Shares
entitled to vote at the meeting. No

10

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

 

meeting will be adjourned for more than sixty (60) days, whether by way of a
single adjournment or multiple adjournments.
          SECTION 4.8. Waiver of Notice.
               (a) When any notice is required to be given to any Member of the
Company under the provisions of this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing
signed by the Person entitled to such notice, whether before, at, or after the
time stated therein, will be equivalent to the giving of such notice.
               (b) By attending a meeting, a Member:
                    (i) Waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice
of such meeting unless the Member, at the beginning of the meeting, objects to
the holding of the meeting or the transacting of business at the meeting; and
                    (ii) Waives objection to consideration at such meeting of a
particular matter not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting

          SECTION 4.9. Voting; Action by Written Consent. Except as otherwise
set forth in this Agreement, with respect to any matter submitted to a vote of
the Members, each Member will be entitled to one vote per Share held by such
Member. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the
Members may be taken without a meeting if Members holding not less than the
minimum number of Shares that would be necessary to approve the action pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or
writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Members. In no
instance where action is authorized by written consent will a meeting of Members
be called or notice be given; however, a copy of the action taken by written
consent will be filed with the records of the Company. Written consent by the
Members pursuant to this Section 4.9 will have the same force and effect as a
vote of such Members taken at a duly held meeting of the Members.
          SECTION 4.10. Representation at Member Meetings
               (a) Authorized Representatives. Each Member (other than a Member
that is an individual) will designate one individual who will act as such
Member’s authorized representative at each meeting of the Members. Each Member
(other than a Member that is an individual) may, if it so chooses, designate one
alternate representative who may act instead of the authorized representative at
any meeting of the Members in the event that the authorized representative is,
for any reason, unavailable to attend such meeting. Each such authorized
representative and alternate representative will present a certified resolution
in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Secretary of the Company evidencing the
designation of him or her as an authorized representative or alternate
representative. Each authorized representative or alternate representative will
serve for such term as provided in the certified resolution or until he or she
is replaced or removed by the Member that designated him or her. Such
replacement or removal will become effective upon receipt by the Secretary of
the Company of a certified resolution

11

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

 

in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Secretary. In the event that both the
authorized representative and the alternate representative are unavailable to
attend a specific meeting, a Member may designate a substitute representative
for that meeting. Such substitute representative will present a certified
resolution in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Secretary of the Company
evidencing the designation of him or her as a substitute representative for
purposes of that meeting only.
               (b) Voting Authority and Proxies. A Member may vote in person,
through its authorized representative, alternative representative or substitute
representative, or by proxy executed in writing by the Member or by his, her or
its duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy will be valid after three
(3) years from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
          SECTION 4.11. Exclusive Agreement. Except as expressly authorized by
this Agreement, none of the Members will enter into a voting trust or voting
agreement with any other Person, give a proxy to any other Person, or otherwise
agree with any other Person to restrict or limit the power to vote its Shares.
This Section will not be deemed to preclude any Member or any of such Member’s
officers or agents from freely discussing at any time affairs of the Company
with any other Person and disclosing to such Person the position of such Member
with respect to any issue concerning the Company, provided that, except as
expressly authorized by this Agreement, such Member does not enter into a
binding agreement concerning its voting with respect to such affairs or issues.
          SECTION 4.12. Hendricks Proxy. Notwithstanding Section 4.11 above,
upon the receipt by Hendricks of one Share pursuant to the Old LLC Agreement
(the “Hendricks Share”), pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement
Hendricks granted to ANPP a proxy to vote the Hendricks Share (the “ANPP Proxy”)
at any time and from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Stock
Purchase Agreement. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of
the Stock Purchase Agreement, the ANPP Proxy will be and remain in effect for so
long as Hendricks will be the record owner of the Hendricks Share. ANPP may
assign the ANPP Proxy only in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase
Agreement.
          SECTION 4.13. Deemed Share of ANPP. Prior to the exercise of the “Put”
or “Call” under and as such terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the books and records of the Company will reflect that Hendricks owns of record
the Hendricks Share. Notwithstanding such record ownership of the Hendricks
Share, for all purposes of this Agreement, (i) ANPP will be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of the Hendricks Share, and (ii) the Company will be entitled
to rely upon any and all written directions and instructions from ANPP regarding
the exercise of, or failure to exercise, any and all rights and benefits
associated with the Hendricks Share, and other than a direction with respect to
an assignment of record ownership made in accordance with the Stock Purchase
Agreement, the Company will not rely on or follow any such written directions or
instructions from Hendricks with respect to the Hendricks Share. So long as
Hendricks is the record owner of the Hendricks Share, (x) no party hereto will
be prohibited or otherwise restricted in any manner from making any public
communication

12

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

 

(written or oral) that Hendricks is a Member (notwithstanding that Hendricks is
not the beneficial owner of any Shares) and (y) unless otherwise required by
law, rule or regulation, no party hereto will disclose in any public
communication that Hendricks is anything less than a Member (notwithstanding
that Hendricks is not the beneficial owner of any Shares).
          SECTION 4.14. Ownership of Similar Programming Services. No Member or
its Parent or any of such Member’s Wholly-owned and Managed Subsidiaries will
start, or acquire a majority of the voting equity interest in, another basic
programming service carried by or to be carried by cable systems in the United
States consisting primarily of documentary, science and nature programming;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained will require any Member, its
Parent or any of its Wholly-owned and Managed Subsidiaries to dispose of an
investment in any such service if such Member, its Parent or any of its
Wholly-owned and Managed Subsidiaries does not own a majority of the voting
equity interest in such service and such service substantially changed its
programming subsequent to such Person’s investment therein.
ARTICLE V

Indebtedness, together with the Debt Service for the next twelve (12) calendar
months for all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Consolidated Group,
would exceed sixty-six percent (66%) of the Annualized Cash Flow of the Company

               (f) the authorization, issuance (other than the issuance to the

               (g) any offering of any security of the Company or any of its

ARTICLE VI
TRANSFERS
          SECTION 6.1. Restrictions on Transfer; Permitted Transfers. No Member
will be permitted to Transfer any Shares in any manner or by any means
whatsoever, except for the following Transfers which will be permitted, provided
that the Transfer is made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this
Article VI:
               (a) any Transfer by a Member of Shares to an Affiliate thereof;
               (b) any Transfer by a Member of Shares pursuant to a Third Party
Offer in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.2; and
               (c) any Transfer of the Hendricks Share to ANPP or any of its
Affiliates, or to any transferee of the rights of ANPP under the Stock Purchase
Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
          SECTION 6.2. Right of First Refusal.
               (a) Prior to any proposed Transfer of Shares (other than a
Transfer described in Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(c)), the Member proposing to
transfer such Shares (the “Transferor”) will be required to obtain a bona fide,
non-collusive, binding arm’s-length written offer, subject only to customary
conditions, with respect to the proposed Transfer (a “Third Party Offer”) from a
third party that is not an Affiliate of such Transferor (the “Third Party”)
which the Transferor desires to accept. The Third Party Offer must not be
subject to unstated conditions or contingencies or be part of a larger
transaction such that the price for the Shares proposed to be transferred in the
Third Party Offer (the “Offered Shares”) does not accurately reflect the Fair
Market Value of such Offered Shares, and the Third Party Offer will contain a
description of all of the consideration, material terms and conditions for the
proposed Transfer. The Transferor will send a copy of the Third Party Offer
which will include the identity of the Third Party to each of the Members (the
“Offerees”), together with a written offer to sell the Offered Shares to the
Offerees at the Third Party Price. For purposes hereof, the “Third Party Price”
means the amount of consideration set forth in the Third Party Offer, which, if
all or part of such consideration is in cash, will be that amount in cash, and
as to any consideration in the Third Party Offer which is not in cash, will be
deemed to be an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such consideration as
determined pursuant to Section 6.3.
               (b) The Transferor through such notice will offer the Offered
Shares to all of the Offerees (a “Offering”) and each of the Offerees will have
thirty (30) days from the receipt of written notice from the Transferor, or if
later within ten (10) days after determination of all non-cash parts of the
Third Party Price to give written notice to the Transferor of their respective
elections to purchase the Offered Shares. The

16

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

 

Transferor will notify each Offeree as to the number of Offered Shares remaining
within three (3) days following such election (the “Offeree Notice”).
               (c) If the Offerees have not elected to purchase all the Offered
Shares within the applicable election period, each Offeree will have an
additional seven (7) days from receipt of the Offeree Notice to elect to
purchase the remaining Offered Shares. If the offer to sell the Offered Shares
in an Offering is oversubscribed at the expiration of any election period, such
Offered Shares and the Third Party Price in respect thereof will be allocated on
a pro rata basis among the Offerees, which have elected to purchase Offered
Shares so that such electing Offeree will receive a portion of the Offered
Shares which bears the same ratio to the Offered Shares as the Shares of each
electing Offeree bear to the total number of Shares owned collectively by all
such electing Offerees, or as may otherwise be agreed among such electing
Offerees, provided that no Offeree which elects to purchase Offered Shares will
be required to purchase more Offered Shares than the amount set forth in its
election.
               (d) Subject to Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.2(f), the closing of
the sale to the Offerees pursuant to an Offering will be held at the offices of
the Company on the tenth day after the date of the last notice to the Transferor
of an Offeree’s election to purchase the Offered Shares (the “Scheduled Closing
Date”). Contemporaneously with such closing, the Transferor will deliver a
certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares, properly endorsed
for transfer and with all necessary transfer or documentary stamps, if any,
affixed and free and clear of all liens, restrictions or encumbrances against
receipt from each purchasing Offeree of the Third Party Price or allocable
portion thereof in cash or by certified or bank cashier’s check or wire or
interbank transfer of funds.
               (e) The obligation of a Transferor and a purchasing Offeree to
proceed with the closing on the Scheduled Closing Date and the obligation of a
Transferor and a Third Party to consummate a Transfer prior to the Expiration
Date (as hereinafter defined) will be conditioned upon and the Scheduled Closing
Date or the Expiration Date, as applicable, will be extended to a date which is
ten (10) days following the last to occur of, (i) the expiration (or earlier
termination) of any applicable waiting period and, if extended, the extended
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
as amended, and (ii) the receipt of all material governmental and regulatory
consents, approvals or waivers that may be required in connection with the
purchase and sale of the Offered Shares; provided, however, that neither the
Transferor nor the purchasing Offerees (unless in material breach of their
obligations hereunder) will be obligated to proceed with the closing of the
purchase and sale of the Offered Shares in the event that such conditions have
not been satisfied on or before the 90th day following the original Scheduled
Closing Date. The Transferor and the purchasing Offerees will use all reasonable
efforts to cooperate with each other or with a third party to promptly make all
filings, give all notices and secure all consents, approvals and waivers that
may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares.

17

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

 

               (f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2(a) through (e),
elections to purchase made by the Offerees will not be binding on the Transferor
if (x) the Offerees have not elected by the conclusion of the offering period to
purchase all of the Offered Shares or (y) the Offerees have not closed on the
purchase of all the Offered Shares by the Scheduled Closing Date in accordance
with the terms hereof. In such event, no sales pursuant to such elections will
be required to be made by the Transferor and the Transferor will have the right
for a period of ninety (90) days after the expiration of the last election
period in Section 6.2(b) or, if later, the last date for the closing of such
purchase under Section 6.2(d) or Section 6.2(e) (such later date being the
“Expiration Date”), as appropriate, to sell all but not less than all of the
Offered Shares, but only to the Third Party for a price (including any non-cash
consideration in the Third Party Offer) and on terms no more favorable to the
Third Party than the Third Party Price and the terms of the Third Party Offer.
The Third Party will prior to any Transfer execute and deliver to the Company
the documents required by Section 6.4. If such Offered Shares are not sold prior
to the Expiration Date, all rights to sell such Offered Shares pursuant to such
Third Party Offer, without making another offer to the Offerees pursuant to this
Section 6.2, will terminate and the provisions of this Article VI will continue
to apply to any proposed Transfer in the future.
          SECTION 6.3. Appraisal Procedure.
               (a) The Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration included
in a Third Party Offer will be determined by agreement between the Transferor
and those Offerees holding seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the issued and
outstanding Shares owned by the Offerees (the “Requisite Holders”) or, in the
event the Transferor and the Requisite Holders have not agreed upon such Fair
Market Value by the tenth (10th) day following the date of the Transferor’s
notice, such Fair Market Value will be determined by appraisal pursuant to
paragraph (b) hereof.
               (b) If the Transferor and the Offerees have failed to agree upon
the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration as provided above, such Fair
Market Value will be determined by appraisal pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).
Within ten (10) days after the determination for the need for an appraisal, the
Offerees (by a vote of the Offerees holding a majority of the Shares held by all
the Offerees) will designate one appraiser experienced in such appraisals, and
the Transferor will designate one such appraiser. Within thirty (30) days after
their selection, the two appraisers so selected will each determine the Fair
Market Value of such non-cash consideration. In the event such determinations
vary by less than ten percent (10%) of the higher determination, such Fair
Market Value will equal the average of the two determinations. If such
determinations vary by ten percent (10%) or more of the higher determination,
the two appraisers will promptly designate a third appraiser with similar
qualifications. No Member will provide, and the selecting Members will instruct
the two appraisers initially selected not to provide, any information to the
third appraiser as to the determinations of the two appraisers initially
selected, or otherwise influence such third appraiser’s determination in any
way. The third appraiser will make a determination of the Fair Market Value
within thirty (30) days after its selection. The Fair Market Value will be equal
to the average of the two closest determinations of the three appraisers, or, if
the difference

18

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

 

between the highest and middle determination is equal to the difference between
the middle and lowest determination, then the Fair Market Value will be equal to
the middle determination. The Fair Market Value determined pursuant to this
Section will be binding and conclusive on the Transferor and all Offerees. Any
appraisal cost incurred under this Section 6.3 will be borne by the Transferor.
          SECTION 6.4. Documents Delivered Upon Transfer. Any proposed
transferee of Shares pursuant to any Section of this Article VI or any proposed
purchaser of Shares pursuant to Section 6.5 that is not a party to this
Agreement, will, prior to such Person’s acquisition or subscription of Shares,
execute and deliver to the Company (i) an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Transfer would not be in
violation of the Securities Act or the Act; and (ii) a written agreement to the
effect that (x) the Shares so transferred will continue to be subject to all the
restrictions and other provisions of this Agreement and (y) the transferee will
be bound by and assume all obligations and restrictions under this Agreement as
if such transferee were an original party hereunder and as if all references in
this Agreement to “Member” referred to such transferee.
          SECTION 6.5. Preemptive Rights.
               (a) The Company will give to each Member written notice of the
intention of the Company to issue or sell any Shares or any Convertible
Securities (the “Securities”). Such notice will set forth the terms of such
proposed issuance or sale, including the price at which the Securities will be
issued or sold (the “Stated Price”), and will be given at least thirty (30) days
prior to the issuance or sale of such Securities. Each Member may elect to
purchase up to that percentage of the Securities to be sold or issued equal to
such Member’s percentage of the total number of Shares on a fully-diluted basis
immediately prior to such issuance or sale. A Member may exercise such election
by giving written notice thereof to the Company before the end of the tenth
business day after receipt by such Member of the notice from the Company. Such
Member’s notice will state the number of Securities to be purchased pursuant to
such election. If any Member elects not to purchase all of the Securities to
which such Member is entitled hereunder, the Company will notify the Members of
the availability of such excess Securities (the “Excess Securities”) within ten
(10) days after the expiration of the above election period. Each Member will
have the right to elect to purchase such Excess Securities by giving notice of
its election within ten (10) days after the receipt of the notice from the
Company. If the Members elect to purchase hereunder an amount of Securities in
excess of the number of Excess Securities, such Excess Securities will be
allocated among the electing Members on a pro rata basis based upon the
proportion that the number of Shares owned by each electing Member bears to the
number of Shares owned collectively by all the electing Members.
               (b) If a Member exercises its right of election pursuant to
clause (a) above, the closing of such purchase and sale will take place within
ten (10) days after the last Member gives notice of its election. At the
closing, the Company will deliver to any electing Member or an Affiliate thereof
(provided such Affiliate has complied with the provisions of Section 6.4), if
applicable, the certificate or certificates

19

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
          SECTION 8.1. Indemnification.
               (a) Each officer, employee, agent and representative of the
Company, and each Member and Affiliate of a Member and their respective,
officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, shareholders, partners,
directors, members of limited liability companies, or Persons who are deemed to
Control or manage the Company (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) will not be
liable to the Company or any other Indemnitee by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by such Indemnitee in good faith on behalf of the Company
and in a manner reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the best
interests of the Company and within the scope of authority conferred on such
Indemnitee by this Agreement or the Members, except that an Indemnitee will be
liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such

21

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

 

Indemnitee’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any act or omission
by an Indemnitee if done in reliance upon the opinion of legal counsel or public
accountants selected in good faith with the exercise of reasonable care by such
Indemnitee on behalf of the Company, will be conclusively presumed not to
constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Indemnitee.
               (b) The liability of Members to the Company is set forth in
Section 4.1 of this Agreement. No amendment or repeal of any of the provisions
of this Agreement or the Certificate will limit or eliminate the benefits
provided to the Members under Section 4.1 or this Article VIII with respect to
any act or omission which occurred prior to such amendment or repeal.
               (c) The Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Company, or by any
Member) by virtue of acts performed by the Indemnitee or omitted to be performed
by the Indemnitee, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or
it in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that
the Company will not be liable to any Indemnitee to the extent that in the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction such claim is found to arise from
such Indemnitee’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Expenses
incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs will be paid by the Company
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon
receipt of any undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay such amount plus
reasonable interest in the event that it will ultimately be determined that the
Indemnitee was not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in connection with
such action. The foregoing rights of indemnification will not be exclusive of
any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled.
               (d) For purposes of this Article VIII, the termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or otherwise will not,
of itself, create a presumption that the conduct of an Indemnitee constituted
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
               (e) If a claim under Section 8.1 is not paid in full by the
Company within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the
Company, except in the case of a claim for expenses incurred in defending a
suit, action or proceeding in advance of its final disposition, in which case
the applicable period will be twenty (20) days, the claimant may at any time
thereafter bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and, to the extent successful in whole or in part, the claimant will
be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. The claimant
will be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.1 upon
submission of a written claim (and, in an action brought to enforce a claim for
expenses incurred in defending any suit, action or proceeding in advance of its

22

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

 

final disposition, upon tender of any required undertaking) and thereafter the
Company will have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption that the
claimant is so entitled. Neither the failure of the Company (including its
members or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in
the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Company (including its
members or independent legal counsel) that the claimant is not entitled to
indemnification will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant is not so entitled. If an action is brought pursuant to this section a
final nonappealable order in such action will constitute the ultimate
determination of the claimant’s right to indemnification.
               (f) The indemnification rights contained in this Article VIII
will be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights, remedies and
recourse to which the Indemnitee will be entitled, whether pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, at law, or in equity. Indemnifications will be
made solely and entirely from the Company’s assets, and no Member will be
personally liable to the Indemnitees under this Article.
               (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
exculpation rights set forth in Section 8.1(a) and the indemnification, hold
harmless, advancement and other rights set forth in Section 8.1(c) will not be
available in any action, suit or proceeding involving any claim by a Member or
any Person who Controls such Member, against any other Member or any Person who
Controls such Member.
               (h) The Company may enter into indemnity agreements from time to
time with any Person entitled to be indemnified by the Company hereunder,
provided such indemnity agreements are (i) in form and substance consistent with
the foregoing and (ii) are approved by the Members.
          SECTION 8.2. Insurance. The Company will have the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an agent of the
Company against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such
Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as an agent,
whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against
such liability under the provisions of Section 8.1 or under applicable law.
ARTICLE IX
ISSUANCE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES
          SECTION 9.1. Issuance of Share Certificates. The issued and
outstanding Shares will be represented by certificates. In addition to any other
legend required with respect to a particular class, group or series of Shares or
pursuant to any agreement among the Members and the Company, each such Share
certificate will bear the following legend:

23

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

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS OR PURSUANT TO A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE
COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT, HYPOTHECATION, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE OR OTHER DISPOSITION
(EACH A “TRANSFER”) AND VOTING OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 14, 2007, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM
TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE MEMBERS NAMED THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED
AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. THE COMPANY WILL NOT REGISTER THE TRANSFER OF
SUCH SECURITIES ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TRANSFER HAS
BEEN MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
AGREEMENT.
          SECTION 9.2. Transfer of Share Certificates. A Share which is
transferred in accordance with the terms of Article VI of this Agreement will be
transferable on the books of the Company by the record holder thereof in person
or by such record holder’s duly authorized attorney, but, except as provided in
Section 9.3 hereof with respect to lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, no
Transfer of a Share will be entered until the previously issued certificate
representing such Shares will have been surrendered to the Company and canceled
and a replacement certificate issued to the assignee of such Shares in
accordance with such procedures as the Members may establish. The Company will
issue to the Transferor a new Share certificate representing the Shares not
being Transferred by the Member, in the event such Member only Transferred some,
but not all, of the Shares represented by the original Share certificate. Except
as otherwise required by law, the Company will be entitled to treat the record
holder of a Share certificate representing Shares on its books as the owner
thereof for all purposes regardless of any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
          SECTION 9.3. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Company will
issue a new Share certificate in place of any Share certificate previously
issued if the record holder of the Share certificate:
               (a) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Members, that a previously issued Share certificate has been lost,
destroyed or stolen;

24

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

 

               (b) requests the issuance of a new Share certificate before the
Company has notice that the Share certificate has been acquired by a purchaser
for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim; and
               (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the
Members.
          If a Member fails to notify the Company within a reasonable time after
it has notice of the loss, destruction or theft of a Share certificate, and a
Transfer of the Shares represented by the Share certificate is registered before
receiving such notification, the Company will have no liability with respect to
any claim against the Company for such Transfer or for a new Share certificate.
ARTICLE X
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP
          SECTION 10.1. No Dissolution. The death, retirement, resignation,
expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member or the occurrence of any
other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company
will not, in and of itself, cause the dissolution of the Company. In such event,
the business of the Company will be continued by the remaining Members.
          SECTION 10.2. Events Causing Dissolution. The Company will be
dissolved and its affairs will be would up upon the approval of the Members
pursuant to Section 5.2(d)
          SECTION 10.3. Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Person
or Persons approved by the Members to carry out the winding up of the Company
will immediately commence to wind up the Company’s affairs; provided, however,
that a reasonable time will be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets
of the Company and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable
the Members to minimize the normal losses attended upon a liquidation. The
Person or Persons so approved by the Members will take full account of the
assets and liabilities of the Company, will either cause the Company’s assets
and liabilities to be sold or distributed in kind, and if sold as promptly as is
consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, will cause the proceeds
therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as
follows:
               (a) to secured creditors of the Company whether or not they are
Members and to unsecured creditors that are not Members, to the extent otherwise
permitted by law, in satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company (whether by
payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);
               (b) to unsecured creditors of the Company that are Members, to
the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of the liabilities of the
Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment
thereof); and

25

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

 

               (c) to the holders of the Shares on a pro rata basis.
          SECTION 10.4. Termination. The Company will terminate when all of the
assets of the Company, after payment, or due provision for all debts,
liabilities and obligations, of the Company have been distributed to the Members
in the manner provided for in this Article X and the Certificate will have been
canceled in the manner required by the Act.
          SECTION 10.5. Claims of the Members. Members and former Members will
look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their contributions to the
Company, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due
provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are
insufficient to return such contributions, the Members and former Members will
have no recourse against the Company or any other Member. No Member will be
compelled to pay money to any other Member in the course of a liquidation.

considered severable and if for any reason any provision which is not essential
to the effectuation of the basic purposes of this Agreement is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or contrary to the
Act or existing or future applicable law, such invalidity, unenforceability or
illegality will not impair the operation of or affect those provisions of this
Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal. In that case, this Agreement
will be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid,
enforceable and legal within the requirements of any applicable law, and in the
event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Agreement will be
construed to omit such invalid, unenforceable or illegal provisions.
          SECTION 11.6. Headings and Captions. All headings and captions
contained in this Agreement and the table of contents hereto are inserted for
convenience only and will not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
          SECTION 11.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which will constitute an original and all of which, when

          SECTION 11.8. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This agreement
will be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware (other than its rules of
conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction would be required thereby). Each of the parties hereto irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if
the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the
state courts of the State of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware, or in the
United States District Court for any district within such state, for the purpose
of any action, claim, suit, litigation or judgment relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and to the laying
of venue in such court. Service of process in connection with any such action,
claim, suit, litigation or judgment may be served on each party hereto by the
same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement.
Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead
or claim any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, claim, suit,

          SECTION 11.10. Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
               (a) No party hereto may assign its obligations, rights or
interests herein except in connection with a Transfer pursuant to Article VI.

to assume all obligations and liabilities hereunder and will be entitled to all
the rights hereunder of such party with respect to such purchased Shares.
               (b) This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto, and where expressly stated, their Affiliates, limited

upon any Person other than the parties hereto, and where expressly stated, their
Affiliates, and their respective successors and permitted assigns and the
Company, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by
reason of this Agreement.
          SECTION 11.11. No Right to Partition. The Members, on behalf of
themselves, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, if any, hereby
specifically renounce, waive and forfeit all rights, whether arising under
contract or statute or by operation of law, except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, to seek, bring or maintain any action in any court
of law or equity for partition of the Company or any asset of the Company, or
any interest which is considered to be Company property, regardless of the
manner in which title to such property may be held.
          SECTION 11.12. Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, no
remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other
available remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy will be cumulative and
will be in addition to every remedy under this Agreement or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity.
          SECTION 11.13. Specific Performance. Each Member acknowledges and
agrees that its respective remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of
any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition

Member of the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any remedies at law,
the Company or any other Member will, without posting any bond, be entitled to
obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable
remedy which may then be available.
          SECTION 11.14. Confidentiality. Except as required by law or
government regulation and as reasonably necessary for the solicitation by any

Shares pursuant to Section 6.2(a), (a) none of the parties hereto will announce
the existence or terms of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby
without the consent of the other parties hereto, and (b) all public
