(c) the valuation applied for purposes of such Section 4.1(a) was equal to the

A/B Unit Percentages, C Unit Percentages, the A/B/M Unit Percentages and C/D

Management

SECTION 3.01. Sole Manager. The Members shall not manage and control the
business and affairs of the LLC, except for situations in which the approval of
the Members is required by this Agreement or by non-waivable provisions of
applicable law. The Manager shall exclusively manage and control the LLC’s
business, affairs and day-to-day operations and, in such capacity, shall be the
“manager” of the LLC within the meaning of the Delaware Act.

 

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

13

 

SECTION 3.02. Authority of the Sole Manager. Except for situations in which the
approval of the Members is otherwise required by this Agreement, or by
non-waivable provisions of applicable law, (i) the powers of the LLC shall be
exercised by or under the sole, absolute and exclusive direction of the Manager,
(ii) the Manager may make all decisions and take all actions for the LLC not
otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and (iii) the Manager shall possess
all powers necessary, convenient or appropriate to carry out the business of the
LLC, including doing all things and taking all actions necessary to carry out
the terms and provisions of this Agreement (and is hereby authorized and
directed, on behalf of the LLC and in accordance with Section 18-404(c) of the
Delaware Act, to do all such things and to take all such actions without any
further act, vote, consent or approval of any Member or the Board, unless
otherwise specifically required by this Agreement).

SECTION 3.03. Authority of Members. In all matters relating to or arising out of
the conduct of the operation of the LLC, the decision of the Manager shall be
the decision of the LLC. Except as required or permitted by applicable law, or
expressly provided in the ultimate sentence of this Section 3.03 or by separate
agreement with the LLC, no Member who is not also the Manager (and acting in
such capacity) shall take any part in the management or control of the operation
or business of the LLC in its capacity as a Member, nor shall any Member who is
not also the Manager (and acting in such capacity) have any right, authority or
power to act for or on behalf of or bind the LLC in his or its capacity as a
Member in any respect or assume any obligation or responsibility of the LLC or
of any other Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LLC may employ one or
more Officers from time to time, and such Officers, in their capacity as
employees of the LLC, may take part in the control and management of the
business of the LLC to the extent such authority and power to act for or on
behalf of the LLC has been delegated to them by the Manager.

SECTION 3.04. Removal and Replacement of Manager. The Manager may not be removed
or replaced at any time with or without the consent of the Manager.

SECTION 3.05. Reliance by Third Parties. Any Person dealing with the LLC, other
than a Member, may rely on the authority of the Manager (or any Officer
authorized by the Manager) in taking any action in the name of the LLC 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 Manager
(or any Officer authorized by the Manager) in the name of the LLC with respect
to any business or property of the LLC 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 LLC and (iii) the Manager or such Officer was
duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver such agreement, instrument
or document for and on behalf of the LLC.

SECTION 3.06. Officers. (a) Designation and Appointment. The officers of the
Corporation shall automatically be designated and appointed as Officers of

 

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

14

 

the LLC, with titles, duties and authority corresponding to the titles, duties
and authority held by such Officers in their capacity as officers of the
Corporation, and with no specific action required by the Manager in order to
appoint such persons. In addition, the Manager may (but need not), from time to
time, designate and appoint one or more persons as additional Officers of the
LLC. No Officer need be a resident of the State of Delaware or a Member. Any
additional Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such
duties as the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them, and no Officer
shall be deemed to be a Manager as a result of his or her status as an Officer.
The Manager may assign titles to particular Officers and create officer
positions in its discretion. Unless the Manager otherwise decides, if the title
is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation, 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 any specific
delegation of authority and duties made to such Officer by the Corporation or by
the Manager pursuant to this Section 3.06(a). 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 LLC shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation or the
Manager, as applicable.

(b) Resignation/Removal. Any Officer (subject to any contract rights available
to the LLC, 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 Manager. 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 Manager 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
LLC may be filled by the Manager.

ARTICLE IV

Distributions and Allocations

SECTION 4.01.Distributions.  (a) The Manager, in its discretion, may authorize
distributions by the LLC to the Members (including in the event of an
extraordinary dividend, refinancing, recapitalization, merger or other
restructuring transaction), which distributions shall be made pro rata in
accordance with the Members’ respective Unit Percentages.

(b) Upon the Effective Time, each Management Member (other than Edelman) shall
deposit with the Escrow Agent one-half of the number of Effective Time Units
issued to such Management Member in respect of the C Units and/or D Units held
by such Management Member under the Existing LLC Agreement, together with an
equal number of shares of Class B Stock (collectively, the “Escrowed
Securities”). The Escrowed Securities shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant
to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

 

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

15

 

(c) Greenlight and Third Point shall provide to the Manager within five Business
Days after the True-Up Date a certificate setting forth (i) the date of each
Greenlight/Third Point Sale, (ii) the price per share of Common Stock sold by
Greenlight and/or Third Point in such Greenlight/Third Point Sale, (iii) the
number of shares of Common Stock sold by Greenlight and/or Third Point in such
Greenlight/Third Point Sale, (iv) the number of Units and number of shares of
Common Stock held by each of Greenlight and Third Point as of the True-Up Date,
if any (and the number of shares that are deemed to have been sold on the
True-Up Date for purposes of this Section 4.01(c)), and (v) the Trading Price as
of the True-Up Date.

(d) Within ten Business Days after the True-Up Date, Greenlight shall prepare,
in consultation with the Manager, Third Point and the Management Members, and
deliver to each of the Manager, Third Point and each Management Member a
certificate (the “True-Up Certificate”) setting forth the True-Up Value and each
Management Member’s Effective Time Units, Trued-Up Units and the related Excess
Amount or Shortfall Amount, as applicable. The True-Up Certificate shall set
forth computations and other information in reasonable detail sufficient to
demonstrate the calculation of such amounts. Each of the Manager, Third Point
and each Management Member shall assist Greenlight in the preparation of the
True-Up Certificate as reasonably requested by Greenlight.

(i) The True-Up Certificate shall become final and binding upon the parties upon
the tenth Business Day following the receipt by the Manager, Third Point and the
Management Members of the True-Up Certificate, unless the Manager, Third Point
or a Management Member gives written notice of its disagreement with the True-Up
Certificate (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Greenlight, with a copy to the
Manager, prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in
reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. If a Notice of
Disagreement is received by Greenlight and the Manager in a timely manner, then
the True-Up Certificate shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the
earlier of (A) the date that the Manager, Greenlight, Third Point and the
Management Members resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to
the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (B) the date any disputed
matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm.

(ii) During the ten Business-Day period following the delivery of a Notice of
Disagreement, the Manager, Greenlight, Third Point and the Management Members
shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may
have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the
end of such ten Business-Day period, Greenlight and the Manager shall submit to
an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for arbitration any and
all matters that remain in dispute and were included in the Notice of
Disagreement. The Accounting Firm shall be such nationally recognized
independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by the Manager,

 

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

16

 

Greenlight, Third Point and the Management Members in writing. Judgment may be
entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having
jurisdiction over the party or parties against which such determination is to be
enforced.

(e) In the event that:

(i) a Management Member’s Effective Time Units are greater than such Management
Member’s Trued-Up Units (the excess being the “Excess Amount”), then

(A) with respect to such Management Member (other than Edelman), a number of
Units equal to the product of (A) the Greenlight/Third Point Specified A Unit
Percentage and (B) the lesser of (x) the Excess Amount and (y) the number of
such Management Member’s Escrowed Securities, shall be released and distributed
in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to Greenlight and Third Point pro rata
based on their respective Specified A Unit Percentages, and all of such
Management Member’s Escrowed Securities that are not required to be distributed
to Greenlight or Third Point shall be released and distributed to such
Management Member in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; and

(B) with respect to Edelman, he shall either (x) distribute a number of Units
equal to Edelman’s Excess Amount to Greenlight and Third Point pro rata based on
their respective Specified A Unit Percentages, or (y) pay an amount in cash
equal to the product of (i) Edelman’s Excess Amount, multiplied by (ii) the
Trading Price as of the date of payment, to Greenlight and Third Point pro rata
based on their respective Specified A Unit Percentages; and

(ii) a Management Member’s Effective Time Units are less than such Management
Member’s Trued-Up Units (the shortfall being the “Shortfall Amount”), then both:

(A) Greenlight and Third Point shall deliver to such Management Member either
(or any combination of):

(x) a number of Units equal to the product of (I) such Management Member’s
Shortfall Amount, multiplied by (II) Greenlight’s or Third Point’s applicable
Specified A Unit Percentage; or

(y)an amount in cash equal to the product of (I) such Management Member’s
Shortfall Amount, multiplied by (II) the Trading Price as of the date of
payment, multiplied by (III) Greenlight’s or Third Point’s applicable
Specified A Unit Percentage; and

 

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

17

 

(B) all of such Management Member’s Escrowed Securities shall be released and
delivered to such Management Member in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; and

(iii) to the extent a Member is obligated to deliver, or cause to be delivered,
Units pursuant to this Section 4.01(e), (I) such Member may deliver, or cause to
be delivered, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units
required to be delivered in lieu of delivering such Units (or any combination of
shares of Common Stock and Units) and (II) to the extent such Member does not
deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with clause (I) above (and does not
deliver cash in lieu of Units, if permitted), shall also deliver with such Units
a number of shares of Class B Stock equal to the number of Units required to be
delivered.

(iv) In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly upon the True-Up Certificate
becoming final and binding upon the parties, as provided in this Section 4.01,
the Manager, in consultation with Greenlight and Third Point, shall prepare the
release certificate contemplated by the Escrow Agreement and deliver such
release certificate to the Escrow Agent.

(f) (i) In addition to the foregoing, if the Manager reasonably determines that
the operations of the LLC for a Fiscal Year will give rise to net taxable income
for any of the Members (“Net Taxable Income”), the Manager shall cause the LLC
to distribute Available Cash for purposes of allowing each of the Members to
fund their respective income tax liabilities attributable to the LLC (the “Tax
Distributions”). The Tax Distributions payable to a Member with respect to any
Fiscal Year shall be computed based upon the Manager’s estimate of the Net
Taxable Income allocable to such Member for such Fiscal Year in accordance with
this Article IV (taking into account the effect of Section 4.04(b)), multiplied
by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax Amount”). For purposes of computing the Tax
Amount, the effect of any benefit to a Member under Section 743(b) of the Code
will be ignored but any tax credits allocated to a Member for such Fiscal Year
shall be taken into account.

(ii) Tax Distributions shall be calculated and paid no later than one day prior
to each quarterly due date for the payment by corporations of estimated taxes
under the Code in the following manner: (A) for the first quarterly period, 25%
of the Tax Amount, (B) for the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount,
less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year, (C) for the third
quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for
the Fiscal Year and (D) for the fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax Amount,
less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year. Following each Fiscal
Year, and no later than one day prior to the due date for the payment by
corporations of income taxes for such Fiscal Year, the Manager shall make an
amended calculation of the Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Amended Tax
Amount”), and shall cause the LLC to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of
Available Cash, to the extent that the Amended Tax Amount so calculated exceeds
the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the LLC in respect of such
Fiscal Year. If the Amended Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax
Distributions previously made by

 

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

18

 

the LLC in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (the “Credit
Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax
Distributions made to the Members for subsequent Fiscal Years. Within 30 days
following the date on which the LLC files a tax return on IRS Form 1065 (or any
successor form), the Manager shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount of
such Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”) and shall cause the LLC to distribute
a Tax Distribution, out of Available Cash, to the extent that the Final Tax
Amount so calculated exceeds the Amended Tax Amount. If the Final Tax Amount is
less than the Amended Tax Amount in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then
the difference (“Additional Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall
reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made to the Members for subsequent
Fiscal Years. Any Credit Amount and Additional Credit Amount applied against
future Tax Distributions shall be treated as an amount actually distributed
pursuant to this Section for purposes of the computations herein. In the event
that the Tax Distributions made to a Member for any Fiscal Year shall be less
than the Final Tax Amount for such Member due to an insufficiency of Available
Cash, then such Member shall receive additional Tax Distributions out of the
first Available Cash in subsequent Fiscal Years to make up for such shortfall.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Distributions distributed to a Member
pursuant to this Section 4.01(f) shall not affect the amount of distributions
that may be made to such Member pursuant to Section 4.01(a).

SECTION 4.02. Liquidation Distribution. Distributions made upon liquidation of
the LLC shall be made as provided in Section 9.02.

SECTION 4.03. Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Manager shall not authorize a
distribution to any Member if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of
the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

SECTION 4.04. Allocations. (a) Net Income and Net Loss. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent
necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the
LLC shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after giving
effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.05, the Capital
Accounts of all Members, immediately after making such allocation, are, as
nearly as possible, equal on a per Unit basis.

(b) Tax Allocations. For federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Members in
accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for Capital Account
purposes under Sections 4.01(a) and 4.05, except that tax items attributable to
each asset with respect to which there is a difference between tax basis and
Book Value will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and
the Regulations thereunder. Such allocations shall be made using any reasonable
method specified in Regulation Section 1.704-3 as the Tax Matters Member
determines reasonably and in good faith; provided that with respect to the
assets contributed by Cargill the Tax Matters Member shall use either (i) the
traditional method with curative allocations or (ii) the remedial method.

 

 

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

19

 

SECTION 4.05. Special Allocations. (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding
any other provision of Section 4.04, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain
or Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles
of Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Taxable Year, the
Members shall be specially allocated items of Net Income for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of
such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f),
1.704-2(i)(4), 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.05(a) is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulation Sections
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback
shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

(b) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Net Income shall be
specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments,
allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) shall be made if and only to the
extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all
other allocations provided for in Section 4.01 and this Section 4.05 have been
tentatively made as if this Section 4.05(b) were not in the Agreement. This
Section 4.05(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset”
requirement in such Regulation Section and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

(c) Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.752-3(a), any Member’s interests in LLC profits shall be in proportion
with the respective Unit Percentage.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member nonrecourse deductions (as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1) and (2)) for any Fiscal Period shall
be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to
the liability to which such Member nonrecourse deductions are attributable in
accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1). Nonrecourse Deductions (as
such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and
1.704-2(c)) of the LLC shall be allocated to the Members in proportion with the
respective Unit Percentage.

(e) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Company asset pursuant to Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is
required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be
taken into account in determining the Capital Accounts, the amount of such
adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increases the basis

 

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

20

 

of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or
loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the
manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to
such regulation.

(f) Ordering Rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
allocations for any Fiscal Year or other period of nonrecourse deductions or of
items required to be allocated pursuant to the minimum gain chargeback
requirements contained in Section 4.05 shall be made before any other
allocations hereunder.

SECTION 4.06. Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances. (a) Tax Withholding. If
requested by the Manager, each Member shall deliver to the LLC:
(i) documentation in form reasonably satisfactory to the Manager that the
applicable Member is not subject to withholding under the provisions of any
federal, state, local, foreign or other law; and/or (ii) any other form or
instrument reasonably requested by the Manager relating to any Member’s status
under such law. In the event that a Member fails or is unable to deliver to the
Manager the documentation described in subclause (i) of this clause (a), the
Manager will withhold amounts from such Member in accordance with
Section 4.06(b) (relating to Withholding Advances).

(b) Withholding Advances – General. To the extent the LLC is required by law to
withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member
(e.g., backup withholding) (“Withholding Advances”), the Manager may withhold
such amounts and make such tax payments as so required; provided that, unless
such withholding or payment is required by law or regulation to be made in a
lesser amount of time, the Manager shall provide not less than ten (10) Business
Days’ notice to the applicable Member prior to making such withholding or
payment.

(c) Repayment of Withholding Advances. Any Withholding Advances made on behalf
of a Member that are not satisfied by withholding from cash distributable to
such Member, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the prime rate announced
by Citibank, N.A. as of the date of such Withholding Advances plus two percent
(2%) per annum, shall (i) be paid by the Member on whose behalf such Withholding
Advances were made on demand by the LLC or (ii) with the consent of the Manager
in its sole discretion be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next
succeeding Distribution or Distributions which would otherwise have been made to
such Member or, if such Distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so
reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. Whenever
repayment of a Withholding Advance by a Member is made as described in
clause (ii) above, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be
treated as having received all the applicable Distributions unreduced by the
amount of such Withholding Advance and interest thereon.

(d) Withholding Advances – Reimbursement of Liabilities. Each Member hereby
agrees to reimburse the LLC for any liability with respect to Withholding
Advances (including interest thereon) required or made on behalf of or with
respect to such Member (including penalties imposed with respect thereto).

considered Capital Contributions. If any Member shall loan funds to the LLC in

that is a partnership for tax purposes to make an election pursuant to Section
754 of the Code (and any comparable elections under the applicable state and
local tax laws) to adjust the tax basis of its assets in connection with
transfers of Units, which elections shall be made on the tax returns of such
entities for the taxable year that includes the Effective Time. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Manager shall, in its sole discretion,
determine whether to make or revoke any available election pursuant to the Code
(or any state or local tax laws). Each Member will upon request supply any
information reasonably necessary to give proper effect to any election.

SECTION 5.08. Tax Matters Member. The Manager is hereby designated the “Tax
Matters Member” and is authorized and required to represent the LLC (at the
LLC’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the LLC’s affairs by tax

expend LLC funds for professional services reasonably incurred in connection
therewith. Each

Member agrees to cooperate with the LLC and the Tax Matters Member, and to do or
refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the LLC with
respect to the conduct of such proceedings, including providing the Tax Matters
Member with such information as the Tax Matters Member may reasonably request.
The Tax Matters Member shall keep all Members fully informed of the progress of

distributions among the Members pursuant to Article IV and (ii) accounting

expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by
the Manager, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the
Members absent manifest clerical error.

financial statement and federal income tax purposes shall be the same and shall,
except as otherwise required in accordance with the Code, end on December 31.

ARTICLE VII

LLC Units

SECTION 7.01. Units. LLC Interests shall be represented by Units. The authorized
Units which the LLC has authority to issue consist of 50,000,000 Units. The
Units will consist of a single class. The Manager may establish other classes
from time to time in accordance with such procedures and subject to such
conditions and restrictions as the Manager shall determine from time to time.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to
“Units” shall include any other classes that may be established in accordance
with this Agreement. All Units of a particular class shall have identical rights
in all respects as all other Units of such class, except in each case as
otherwise specified in this Agreement.

SECTION 7.02. Register. The register of the LLC shall be the definitive record
of ownership of each Unit and all relevant information with respect to each
Member. Unless the Manager shall determine otherwise, Units shall be
certificated as provided in Section 7.08 and recorded in the books and records
of the LLC.

SECTION 7.03. Splits, Distributions and Reclassifications. The LLC shall not in
any manner subdivide (by any Unit split, Unit distribution, reclassification,

 

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

24

 

recapitalization or otherwise) or combine (by reverse Unit split,
reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) the outstanding Units unless an
identical event is occurring with respect to the Common Stock. In the event of
any such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, the Units shall
automatically be subdivided or combined concurrently with and in the same manner
as the Common Stock. The register of the LLC shall be adjusted accordingly and
on a timely basis.

SECTION 7.04. Cancellation of Common Stock and Units. At any time a share of
Common Stock is redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by the
Corporation, one Unit registered in the name of the Manager will hereby
automatically be cancelled for no consideration by the LLC so that the number of
Units held by the Corporation at all times equals the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. The register of the LLC shall be adjusted accordingly and on
a timely basis.

SECTION 7.05. Incentive Plans. At any time the Corporation issues a share of
Common Stock pursuant to an Incentive Plan (whether pursuant to the exercise of
a stock option or the grant of a restricted share award or otherwise), the
following shall occur: (a) the Corporation shall be deemed to contribute to the
capital of the LLC an amount of cash equal to the current per share market price
of a share of Common Stock on the date such share is issued (or, if earlier, the
date the related option is exercised) and the Capital Account of the Corporation
shall be adjusted accordingly; (b) the LLC shall be deemed to purchase from the
Corporation a share of Common Stock for an amount of cash equal to the amount of
cash deemed contributed by the Corporation to the LLC in clause (a) above (and
such share is deemed delivered to its owner under the Incentive Plan); (c) the
net proceeds (including the amount of any payments made on a loan with respect
to a stock purchase award) received by the Corporation with respect to such
share, if any, shall be concurrently transferred and paid to the LLC (and such
net proceeds so transferred shall not constitute a Capital Contribution); and
(d) the LLC shall issue to the Corporation one Unit registered in the name of
the Corporation. The LLC shall retain any net proceeds that are paid directly to
the LLC.

SECTION 7.06. Offerings of Common Stock. At any time the Corporation issues a
share of Common Stock other than pursuant to an Incentive Plan, the net proceeds
received by the Corporation with respect to such share, if any, shall be
concurrently transferred to the LLC and the LLC shall issue to the Corporation
one Unit registered in the name of the Corporation.

SECTION 7.07. Registered Members. The LLC shall be entitled to recognize the
exclusive right of a Person registered on its records as the owner of Units for
all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to
or interest in Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall
have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the
Delaware Act.

 

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

25

 

SECTION 7.08. Certification of Units. Each Unit shall be represented by a
certificate in the form attached hereto as Schedule C (an “LLC Certificate”) and
shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in
addition to any applicable legends required under the Escrow Agreement:

“THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS LLC CERTIFICATE 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 LLC CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN
THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF
JUNE 19, 2007, 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.”

(a) Upon the conversion of each Member’s A Units, B Units, C Units, D Units and
M Units referred to in Section 2.01, and upon each subsequent issuance of Units
to any Member in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the LLC shall
issue one or more LLC Certificates in the name of such Member. Each such LLC
Certificate shall be denominated in terms of the number of Units evidenced by
such LLC Certificate and shall be signed by the Manager on behalf of the LLC.

(b) The LLC shall issue a new LLC Certificate in place of any LLC Certificate
previously issued if the holder of the Units represented by such LLC
Certificate, as reflected on the books and records of the LLC:

(i) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager,
that such previously issued LLC Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed;

(ii) requests the issuance of a new LLC Certificate before the Manager has
notice that such previously issued LLC Certificate has been acquired by a
purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;

(iii) if requested by the Manager, delivers to the LLC a bond, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Manager, with such surety or sureties as the
Manager may direct, to indemnify the LLC and the Manager against any claim that
may be

 

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

26

 

made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the previously
issued LLC Certificate; and

(iv) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Manager and any
applicable requirements under the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Upon a Member’s Transfer of any or all of the Units represented by an LLC
Certificate in compliance with Article VIII hereof, the transferee of such Units
shall deliver such LLC Certificate to the Manager for cancellation, and the
Manager shall thereupon issue a new LLC Certificate to such transferee for the
Units being transferred and, if applicable, cause to be issued to such
transferor a new LLC Certificate for that number of Units represented by the
canceled LLC Certificate which are not being transferred.

ARTICLE VIII

Transfer of LLC Interests

SECTION 8.01. Restrictions on Transfer. No Member may sell, assign, pledge,
transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of such Member’s Units
(whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily
or by operation of law) (a “Transfer”), unless (i) the prior written consent of
the Manager is obtained, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject
to such conditions (including the receipt of such legal opinions and other
documents that the Manager may require) as are determined by the Manager, in
each case in the Manager’s sole discretion (ii) such Transfer complies with the
provisions of this Article VIII and the relevant provisions of any agreements to
which the LLC and such Member are parties and (iii) such transfer is accompanied
by the delivery of an endorsed LLC Certificate. In the event that a Member
transfers any Units pursuant to this Section 8.01, in connection with such
transfer it shall also transfer a pro rata portion of its (i) Capital Account
and (ii) credits for Capital Contributions to such transferee.

SECTION 8.02. Permitted Transfers. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, (i) each Member who is an individual may transfer all or a
portion of his Units without consideration to (A) a member of such Member’s
immediate family, which shall include his spouse, siblings, children or
grandchildren (“Family Members”) or (B) a trust (including any grantor retained
annuity trust), corporation, partnership or limited liability company, all of
the beneficial interests in which shall be held by such Member and/or one or
more Family Members of such Member; provided, however, that during the period
that any such trust, corporation, partnership or limited liability company holds
any Units, no Person other than such Member or one or more Family Members of
such Member may be or may become beneficiaries, stockholders, limited or general
partners or members thereof, (ii) each Member that is an entity may transfer all
or a portion of its Units to any of its Affiliates (it being understood, in
furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, that Greenlight and Third
Point may transfer Units held by them to an entity in which both Greenlight and
Third Point hold equity interests that is an Affiliate of either Greenlight or

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

27

 

Third Point) and (iii) each Member that is a party to the Escrow Agreement may
transfer all or a portion of its Units to any other party to the Escrow
Agreement in connection with the true-up contemplated by Section 4.01(e) (the
Persons referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are each
referred to hereinafter as a “Permitted Transferee”). A Permitted Transferee of
Units pursuant to this Section 8.02 may transfer its Units pursuant to this
Section 8.02 only to the transferor Member or to a Person that is a Permitted
Transferee of such transferor Member (and in the case of a transfer by a Member
who is an individual, only without consideration), provided, however, that all
Permitted Transferees shall be subject to this Agreement and, if applicable, the
Escrow Agreement and the Tax Benefit Sharing Agreement, in the same manner as
the transferor. Transfers pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not require the
consent of the Manager.

SECTION 8.03. Permitted Exchanges. (a) Notwithstanding Section 8.01, each Member
(other than the Corporation) shall be entitled to exchange, at any time and from
time to time, any or all of such Member’s Units, on a one-for-one basis, for the
same number of shares of Common Stock (the number of shares of Common Stock for
which a Unit is entitled to be exchanged referred to herein as the “Exchange
Rate”) by delivering a written notice to the Manager (and to the Corporation, if
the Corporation is not the Manager) stating that such Member desires to exchange
a number of Units specified in such notice into an equal number of shares of
Common Stock, accompanied by instruments of transfer to the Corporation, duly
executed by such Member or such Member’s duly authorized attorney, and transfer
tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to this Article VIII, in
respect of the Units to be exchanged, in each case delivered during normal
business hours at the principal executive offices of the Manager (and the
Corporation, if the Corporation is not the Manager). The Manager shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such exchange within one Business
Day of receiving the requisite notice, instruments of transfer and transfer tax
stamps or funds therefor, if required, as set forth in the preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of a Unit shall be entitled to exchange
such Unit for a share of Common Stock if such exchange would be prohibited under
applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.

(b) Upon the date any such Units are surrendered for exchange pursuant to this
Section 8.03, all rights of the holder of such Units as such holder shall cease.

(c) The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (1) any
subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split,
reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Units that is not
accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common Stock; or
(2) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split,
reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Stock that is not
accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Units. In the
event of a reclassification or other similar transaction as a result of which
the shares of Common Stock are converted into another security, then a Member
shall be entitled to receive upon exchange the amount of such security that such
Member would have received if such

 

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

28

 

exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such
reclassification or other similar transaction.

SECTION 8.04.  Further Restrictions. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in
this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit be made by any Member or
transferee if:

(a) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or
capacity to own such Unit;

(b) such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of
any class of Unit pursuant to any applicable United States federal or state
securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act) or other foreign securities laws or would constitute a nonexempt
distribution pursuant to applicable state securities laws;

(c) such Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to constitute
assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to the regulations issued by the
U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV,
Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations;

(d) such Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to become
“plan assets” of any benefit plan investor within the meaning of regulations
issued by the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of
Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor
regulations, or to be regulated under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended from time to time; or

(e) to the extent requested by the Manager (except in the case of a Transfer
contemplated by Section 4.01(e) or Section 8.02), the LLC does not receive such
legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including copies of any
instruments of Transfer and such transferee’s consent to be bound by this
Agreement as a transferee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Manager, as
determined in the Manager’s sole discretion.

SECTION 8.05. Transferee’s Rights. (a) A transfer of an LLC Interest permitted
hereunder shall be effective as of the date of assignment and compliance with
the conditions to such transfer and such transfer shall be shown on the books
and records of the LLC. Net Income, Net Losses and other LLC items shall be
allocated between the transferor and the transferee according to Section 706 of
the Code. Distributions made before the effective date of such transfer shall be
paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to
the transferee.

(b) Unless and until a transferee becomes a Substituted Member pursuant to
Section 8.07, the transferee 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

 

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

29

 

transferees pursuant to this Agreement and to have the other rights granted to
transferees pursuant to the Delaware Act.

SECTION 8.06. Transferor’s Rights and Obligations. Any Member who shall transfer
any Units or other interest in the LLC shall cease to be a Member with respect
to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or
privileges of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest except that
unless and until the transferee is admitted as a Substituted Member in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07 (the “Admission Date”), (i) such
assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of
a Member with respect to such Units or other interest and (ii) the Manager may,
in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and
privileges of such Member with respect to such Units or other interest for any
period of time prior to the Admission Date.

SECTION 8.07. Substituted Members. In connection with the transfer of a Unit of
a Member permitted under the terms of this Agreement, and the other agreements
contemplated hereby and thereby, the transferee shall become a Substituted
Member on the later of (i) the effective date of such transfer and (ii) the date
on which the Manager approves such transferee as a Substituted Member, and such
admission shall be shown on the books and records of the LLC and the Substituted
Member signs a letter of acceptance, in form satisfactory to the Manager, of all
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, if applicable, the Escrow
Agreement and the Tax Benefit Sharing Agreement, and signs such other documents
and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s
admission as a Substituted Member.

SECTION 8.08. Additional Members. A Person may be admitted to the LLC as an
additional Member only in connection with a transfer of Units permitted under
this Article VIII and only upon such Person furnishing to the Company (a) a
letter of acceptance, in form satisfactory to the Manager, of all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and (b) such other documents or instruments as may
be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Member. A
Person may be admitted to the LLC as an additional Member through the issuance
of new Units or other securities of the LLC with the prior written consent of
the Manager and only upon such Person furnishing to the Company (a) a letter of
acceptance, in form satisfactory to the Manager, of all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, including, if applicable, the Tax Benefit Sharing Agreement,
and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be necessary or appropriate
to effect such Person’s admission as a Member. Any admission of an additional
Member pursuant to this Agreement shall become effective on the date on which
the Manager 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
LLC.

SECTION 8.09. Attempted Transfer Void. Any attempted Transfer which violates the
provisions of this Agreement shall be void and the purported buyer, transferee,
pledgee, mortgagee or other recipient shall have no interest in or rights to LLC
assets, profits, losses or distributions, and neither the Members nor the LLC
shall be required to recognize any such interest or rights.

 

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

 

 

30

 

SECTION 8.10. Withdrawal. No Member may, or may be required to, withdraw from
the LLC, except upon a Transfer of such Member’s Units in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or upon a permitted repurchase or redemption of
such Member’s Units pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other
agreement to which the LLC and such Member are parties.

SECTION 8.11. Required Amendments; Continuation. If and to the extent any
transferee is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 8.07, this Agreement
shall be amended to admit such transferee as a Member and to reflect the
elimination of the transferor (or the reduction of such Member’s interest) and
(if and to the extent then required by the Delaware Act) a certificate of
amendment to the Certificate reflecting such admission and elimination (or
reduction) shall be filed in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 8.12. Resignation. No Member shall have the right to resign or withdraw
as a Member without the prior written consent of the Manager, which may be given
or withheld in its sole discretion except to the extent that such resignation or
withdrawal is effectuated in connection with a transfer, permitted under this
Article VIII, by such Member of all Units held by it. Any Member that resigns
without any required consent of the Manager in contravention of this
Section 8.12 shall be liable to the LLC for all damages (including all lost
profits and special, indirect and consequential damages) directly or indirectly
caused by the resignation of such Member, and such Member shall be entitled to
receive the fair value of his, her or its interest in the LLC as of the date of
his, her or its resignation (or, if less, the fair value of his, her or its
interest as of the date of the occurrence of a liquidation or other winding-up
of the LLC), as conclusively determined by the Manager, only promptly following
the occurrence of a liquidation or other winding-up of the LLC.

ARTICLE IX

Dissolution and Liquidation

SECTION 9.01. Dissolution. The LLC shall not be dissolved by the admission of
additional Members or Substituted Members. The LLC shall dissolve, and its
affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of the following:

(a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the LLC under Section 35-5
of the Delaware Act or an administrative dissolution under Section 18-802 of the
Delaware Act;

(b) any other event not inconsistent with any provision hereof causing a
dissolution of the LLC under the Delaware Act; or

(c) the Incapacity or removal of the Manager or the occurrence of a Disabling
Event with respect to the Manager; provided that the LLC will not be dissolved
or required to be wound up in connection with any of the events specified in
this Section 9.01 if: (i) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is
at least one other Member who is hereby authorized to, and elects to,

 

 

 

 

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

31

 

carry on the business of the LLC; or (ii) all remaining Members consent to or
ratify the continuation of the business of the LLC and the appointment of
another managing member of the LLC within 90 days following the occurrence of
any such Incapacity or removal, which consent shall be deemed (and if requested
each Member shall provide a written consent for ratification) to have been given
for all Members if the holders of more than two-thirds of the Units then
outstanding agree in writing to so continue the business of the LLC.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, the LLC is intended to have
perpetual existence. A withdrawal by a Member shall not cause a dissolution of
the LLC, and the LLC shall continue in existence subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02. Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the LLC, the
Manager, or any other Person or Persons designated by the Manager, shall act as
liquidator (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind
up the affairs of the LLC and make final distributions as provided herein and in
the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be expenses of the LLC. Until
final distribution, the Liquidator shall continue to operate the LLC properties
with all of the power and authority of the Manager. The steps to be accomplished
by the Liquidator are as follows:

(a) The Liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from LLC funds all of the
debts, liabilities and obligations of the LLC (including all expenses incurred
in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge
thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities
in such amount and for such term as the Liquidator may reasonably determine).

(b) In the event that the LLC holds assets other than cash at the time of its
dissolution, then as promptly as practicable after dissolution, the Liquidator
shall (i) determine the Fair Market Value (the “Liquidation FMV”) of such assets
(the “Liquidation Assets”) in accordance with this Article IX, and (ii) deliver
to each Member a statement setting forth the Liquidation FMV and the amounts and
recipients of such Distributions.

(c) The “Fair Market Value” of any Liquidation Assets shall be conclusively
determined by the Liquidator, and shall be determined with the consultation of
an independent appraiser and with good faith and fair dealing.

(d) As soon as the Liquidation FMV and the proper amounts of Distributions have
been determined in accordance with Sections 9.02(b) and (c) above, the
Liquidator shall promptly distribute the LLC’s Liquidation Assets to the holders
of Units in accordance with Sections 4.01(a) and 4.01(f). Any non-cash
Liquidation Assets will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value,
thus creating Net Income or Net Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in
accordance with Section 4.04. In making such distributions, the Liquidator shall
allocate each type of Liquidation Assets (i.e., cash or cash equivalents, stock
or securities, etc.) among the Members ratably based upon the aggregate amounts
to be distributed with respect to the Units held by each such holder.

 

 

 

 

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

32

 

The distribution of cash and/or property to a Member in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of
its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its
interest in the LLC and all the LLC’s property and constitutes a compromise to
which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. To the
extent that a Member returns funds to the LLC, it has no claim against any other
Member for those funds.

SECTION 9.03. Certificate of Cancellation. On completion of the distribution of
LLC assets as provided herein, the LLC is terminated (and the LLC shall not be
terminated prior to such time), and the Manager (or such other Person or Persons
as the Delaware 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 this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such
other actions as may be necessary to terminate the LLC. The LLC shall be deemed
to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is
terminated pursuant to this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04. Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed
for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the LLC and the
liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 9.02 in order to minimize any
losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

SECTION 9.05. Return of Capital. The Liquidator shall not be personally liable
for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Members
(it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from LLC assets).

ARTICLE X

Rights and Obligations of Members

SECTION 10.01. Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided by
applicable law, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, whether
arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations
and liabilities of the LLC, and no Member shall be obligated personally for any
such debt, obligation or liability of the LLC solely by reason of being a Member
or acting as a Member of the LLC; provided that a Member shall be required to
return to the LLC any Distribution made to it in clear and manifest accounting
or similar error. The immediately preceding sentence shall constitute a
compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of the
Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
failure of the LLC to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the
exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this
Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal
liability on the Members for liabilities of the LLC. Each Member’s and the
Manager’s liability shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement, the
Delaware Act and other applicable law. The Manager shall have no liability for
taking or failing to take any action required to be taken by it under this
Agreement to the extent the Manager or the Members have agreed that such action
shall

 

 

 

 

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

33

 

be taken or not be taken, as the case may be. To the fullest extent permitted
under the Delaware Act, no Member, the Manager or any officer of the LLC (each,
a “Covered Person”) shall be liable to the LLC or to any of the Members for any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising (i) by reason of being or having
been a Covered Person or (ii) from any act or omission performed or omitted by
the Covered Person in connection with this Agreement or the LLC’s business or
affairs (including any error in judgment in making any investment decisions),
including losses due to the negligence of other agents of the LLC, except for
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities primarily attributable to such
Covered Person’s willful misconduct, recklessness, or gross negligence, as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as otherwise
required by law.

SECTION 10.02. Exculpation. (a) No Covered Person shall be liable, including
under any legal or equitable theory of fiduciary duty or other theory of
liability, to the Company or to any other Covered Person for any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or
omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company unless such act or
omission was performed or omitted by such Covered Person in bad faith. Whenever
in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make decisions in
good faith, the Covered Person shall act under such standard and shall not be
subject to any other or different standard (including any legal or equitable
standard of fiduciary or other duty) imposed by this Agreement or any relevant
provisions of law or in equity or otherwise.

(b) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the
records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or
statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered
Person reasonably believes are within such Person’s professional or expert
competence.

SECTION 10.03. Lack of Authority. No Member in its capacity as such has the
authority or power to act for or on behalf of the LLC in any manner, to do any
act that would be (or could be construed as) binding on the LLC or to make any
expenditures on behalf of the LLC, and the Members hereby consent to the
exercise by the Manager of the powers conferred on it by law and this Agreement.

SECTION 10.04. No Right of Partition. No Member shall have the right to seek or
obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any LLC property, or the
right to own or use particular or individual assets of the LLC.

SECTION 10.05. Indemnification. (a) The LLC hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless any Covered Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent
permitted under the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be
amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment,
substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution
or replacement permits the LLC to provide broader indemnification rights than
the LLC is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all expenses,
liabilities and losses (including attorney fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes
or penalties) (collectively “Losses”) reasonably incurred or suffered by such
Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that
such Person is or was a Member, Manager

 

 

 

 

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

34

 

or Officer. The LLC may, as determined by the Manager, also indemnify and hold
harmless any Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted under the
Delaware Act who is or was serving as an employee or agent of the LLC or is or
was serving at the request of the LLC as a managing member, officer, director,
principal, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise (including any of
the LLC’s Subsidiaries). Expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by any such
Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding otherwise indemnifiable hereunder
shall be paid by the LLC in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding,
including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the
LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be provided by the
LLC with respect to any Losses that resulted from action or inaction of such
Indemnified Person that, in each case, constituted gross negligence, willful
misconduct, a breach of the Indemnified Party’s fiduciary duty to the LLC or an
act that was not in good faith, that involved a knowing violation of law or from
which the Indemnified Person derived an improper personal benefit.

(b) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in
this Section 10.05 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person
may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, by-law or otherwise.

(c) The LLC may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified
Person against any expense, liability or loss described in Section 10.05(a)
above whether or not the LLC would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified
Person against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this
Section 10.05.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this
Section 10.05), any indemnity by the LLC relating to the matters covered in this
Section 10.05 shall be provided out of and to the extent of LLC assets only and
no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final
decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on
account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be
required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity
of the LLC.

(e) If this Section 10.05 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any
ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the LLC shall nevertheless
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this
Section 10.05 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Section 10.05 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE XI

General Provisions

SECTION 11.01. Power of Attorney. (a) Each Member hereby constitutes and
appoints the Manager and the Liquidator, with full power of substitution,

 

 

 

 

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

35

 

as his true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority
in his or its name, place and stead, to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver,
file and record in the appropriate public offices: (i) this Agreement, all
certificates and other instruments and all amendments thereof which are in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and which the Manager deems
appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification of, the
LLC as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware and in all other
jurisdictions in which the LLC may conduct business or own property, (ii) all
instruments which the Manager deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any
amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement which is in
accordance with its terms, (iii) all conveyances and other instruments or
documents which the Liquidator deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the
dissolution and liquidation of the LLC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
including a certificate of cancellation and (iv) all instruments relating to the
admission, withdrawal or substitution of any Member pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest,
and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy,
insolvency or termination of any Member and the transfer of all or any portion
of his or its LLC Interest and shall extend to such Member’s heirs, successors,
assigns and personal representatives.

SECTION 11.02. Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all
documents, instruments, and certificates, provide all information, and take or
refrain from taking all such further actions as may be necessary or appropriate
to achieve the purposes of this Agreement and effect the provisions hereof, as
determined by the Manager.

SECTION 11.03. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing
and with the consent of the Manager, which may be withheld in its sole
discretion; provided, however, that any amendment or modification that adversely
affects the rights of one or more Members under this Agreement, in their
capacity as such, in a manner that is materially different from the manner in
which such amendment or modification affects the rights of other Members under
this Agreement, in their capacity as such, shall require the consent of each
such adversely affected Member; provided, further, however, that any amendment
to Sections 4.01(b), (c), (d) or (e), 5.02, 8.03 and this 11.03, and any defined
terms that are used in those sections, shall require the consent of each of
Greenlight, Third Point and each Management Member.

SECTION 11.04. Title to LLC Assets. LLC assets shall be deemed to be owned by
the LLC as an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively, shall have
any ownership interest in such LLC assets or any portion thereof. Legal title to
any or all LLC assets may be held in the name of the LLC, the Manager or one or
more nominees, as the Manager may determine. The Manager hereby declares and
warrants that any LLC assets for which legal title is held in its name or the
name of any nominee shall be held in trust by the Manager or such nominee for
the use and benefit of the LLC in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. All LLC assets shall be recorded as the property of the LLC on its
books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to any such LLC
asset is held.

 

 

 

 

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

36

 

SECTION 11.05. Remedies. Each Member 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.

SECTION 11.06. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal
representatives and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.07. 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.

SECTION 11.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
two or more separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain the
signatures of more than one party, but each of which will be an original and all
of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on all the
parties hereto.

SECTION 11.09. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of
the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

SECTION 11.10. Addresses and Notices. All notices, demands or other
communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or
made when (a) delivered personally to the recipient, (b) telecopied to the
recipient (with hard copy sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier
service (charges prepaid) that same day) if telecopied before 5:00 p.m. New York
time on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next Business Day, or (c) one (1)
Business Day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier
service (charges prepaid). Such notices, demands and other communications shall
be sent to the address for such recipient set forth on the signature

 

 

 

 

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

37

 

pages or Schedules hereto, and/or to such other address or to the attention of
such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice
to the sending party. Any notice to the Manager or the LLC shall be deemed given
if received by the Manager at the principal office of the LLC, designated
pursuant to Section 2.05.

SECTION 11.11. Creditors; Third Party Beneficiaries. None of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of
the LLC or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the LLC or
any of its Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a
separate agreement executed by the LLC in favor of such creditor) at any time as
a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in Net Income, Net
Losses, Distributions, capital or property other than as a secured creditor.
Except to the extent contemplated by Section 10.05, there are no third party
beneficiaries having rights under or with respect to this Agreement.

SECTION 11.12. Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict
performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or
to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall
constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or
condition.

SECTION 11.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly
referred to herein and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete
agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any
prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties,
written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

SECTION 11.14. 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 reexecute 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.

SECTION 11.15. Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Member irrevocably waives any
right it may have to demand any Distributions or withdrawal of property from the
LLC or to maintain any action for dissolution (except pursuant to Section 18-802
of the Delaware Act) of the LLC or for partition of the property of the LLC.

SECTION 11.16. Survival. Section 10.01 (Limitation of Liability) and
Section 10.05 (Indemnification) shall survive and continue in full force in
accordance with its terms notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or
the dissolution of the LLC.
