(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, unless such action is approved by the Board, the Rangeland Member may not effect a Transfer other than in compliance with Section 3.7(b) and the Delek Member may not effect a Transfer other than pursuant to a Qualifying Offer in compliance with Sections 3.7(c), 3.7(d) and 3.7(e).  The restrictions set forth in this Section 3.6(a) shall not apply to any Transfer pursuant to Section 3.7(a). 
(b)    A Membership Interest shall not be Transferred except pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable securities Laws.
(c)    The Company may, in its reasonable discretion, charge a Member a reasonable fee to cover administrative expenses necessary to effect a Transfer with respect to any or all of such Member’s Membership Interest.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, no Transfer may be made which, in the Board’s reasonable judgment, would cause a material breach, event of default, default or acceleration of payments or which would require the Company to make any mandatory repurchase offer, mandatory repurchase, mandatory redemption or mandatory prepayment, under any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries is a party.
(e)    The Company shall not be bound or otherwise affected by any Transfer of any Membership Interest of which the Company has not received notice pursuant to Section 3.8.
(f)    Except as specifically provided under Sections 3.7(f) or (g), a Member in Default shall not Transfer, and shall not permit a Transfer of, its Membership Interest.
(g)    Any Transfer by a Member of a portion of its Membership Interest must include a proportionate amount of such Member’s Percentage Interest.
(h)    A Member may not Transfer a Membership Interest in a manner permitted by this Article III if such Transfer has as a purpose the avoidance of the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement (it being understood that the purpose of this sentence is to prohibit a Transfer of a Membership Interest to a transferee in a permitted Transfer followed by a change in 

21








the relationship between the transferor and the transferee (or a change of Control of such transferor or transferee) after the permitted Transfer with the effect that the transferor has indirectly Transferred Membership Interests to the transferee in a Transfer that would not have been permitted as a direct Transfer under this Article III had such change in relationship occurred prior to the Transfer).
3.7    Affiliate Transfers; ROFO; Tag-Along Right; Drag-Along Right; ROFR.
(a)    Affiliate Transfers.  Any Member may Transfer all or a portion of its Membership Interest to an Affiliate without compliance with Sections 3.6(a), 3.7(b), 3.7(c), 3.7(d) or 3.7(e) (such Member, the “Affiliate Transferor”); provided that (i) such Transfer otherwise complies with the procedures and deliveries required by Sections 3.8 and 3.9 and (ii) the Affiliate Transferor remains liable for all of its obligations and liabilities hereunder unless the other Members agree in writing to release the Affiliate Transferor of such obligations and liabilities.
(b)    Right of First Offer.  If the Rangeland Member desires to Transfer its Membership Interest and at such time the Delek Member continues to hold at least a 10% Percentage Interest, then the Rangeland Member shall provide a notice to the Delek Member (the “Sale Offer”), which shall constitute an offer by the Rangeland Member to sell all of its Membership Interest, free and clear of all liens (other than transfer restrictions imposed under applicable securities Laws), to the Delek Member for an amount equal to [*CONFIDENTIAL*] times the Rangeland Member’s aggregate Capital Contributions as of the date of the Sale Offer.  The Delek Member shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to either accept the Sale Offer or to make a counter-offer (the “Counter-Offer”), in either case by providing written notice to the Rangeland Member within 30 days of receiving the Sale Offer.  Any Counter-Offer must be to purchase all of the Rangeland Member’s Membership Interest and include the cash purchase price, the date on which the Counter-Offer will expire and other material terms and conditions under which the Delek Member proposes to acquire the Rangeland Member’s Membership Interest.  The Rangeland Member shall be entitled to accept or reject the Counter-Offer in its sole discretion and shall notify the Delek Member within 30 days of receiving the Counter-Offer whether it accepts or rejects the Counter-Offer.  If the Delek Member accepts the Sale Offer or the Rangeland Member accepts the Counter-Offer, the Parties shall proceed to negotiate definitive documentation reflecting the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Offer or Counter-Offer, as the case may be.  If the Parties are unable to execute definitive acquisition documents with respect to the transaction contemplated by the Sale Offer or Counter-Offer, as the case may be, within 60 days of the Delek Member’s acceptance of the Sale Offer or the Rangeland Member’s acceptance of the Counter-Offer, then the Delek Member shall be deemed to have waived all its rights under this Section 3.7(b) and the Rangeland Member shall be permitted to pursue an alternate sale transaction with any Third Party; provided, however, that if the Delek Member properly made a Counter-Offer, then for so long as the Counter-Offer has not expired and may be accepted by the Rangeland Member, the Rangeland Member shall not be entitled to consummate a transaction for the sale of its Membership Interests to a Third Party for consideration that is less than the cash purchase price contained in the Counter-Offer.  If  the Rangeland Member does not (i) enter into a definitive written agreement with a Third Party in accordance with the foregoing within 90 days after the later to occur of (x) the expiration or rejection of the Sale Offer without the Delek Member making a valid Counter-Offer and (y) the 

22








expiration or rejection of the Counter-Offer, or (ii) consummate such Transfer pursuant to such definitive written agreement within 90 days after the execution thereof, the Rangeland Member may not Transfer any of its Membership Interest without complying again in full with this Section 3.7(b).
(c)    Tag-Along Right.
(i)    If the Rangeland Member and its Affiliates desire to Transfer all of their Membership Interests to a ready, willing and able Transferee after complying with the requirements of Section 3.7(b), then the Rangeland Member shall make an offer by an irrevocable written notice (the “Tag-Along Offer”) to the Delek Member to include all of the Delek Member’s and its Affiliates’ Membership Interests in the proposed Transfer (the “Tag-Along Transfer”) on substantially the same terms and conditions.  The Tag-Along Offer may be accepted by the Delek Member by written notice to the Rangeland Member within 30 days after the Delek Member’s receipt of the Tag-Along Offer.
(ii)    The Delek Member may elect to terminate the proposed sale of its Membership Interest in the Tag-Along Transfer (and shall not otherwise be deemed to owe any duty or responsibility to the Rangeland Member to proceed), in which case, the obligations under this Section 3.7(c) in respect of such Tag-Along Transfer shall cease.
(iii)    If for any reason the Rangeland Member elects to terminate or otherwise not to sell its Membership Interest in the Tag-Along Transfer or such Tag-Along Transfer should fail to close, the Rangeland Member must comply with the provisions set forth in this Section 3.7(c), to the extent applicable, prior to making any subsequent Transfer of all or any portion of its Membership Interest.
(d)    Drag-Along Right.  If the Rangeland Member and its Affiliates desire to Transfer all of their Membership Interests to a ready, willing and able Transferee (the “Drag-Along Sale”) then the Rangeland Member may, after complying with Section 3.7(b), provide written notice thereof (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to the Delek Member, which such notice must include the terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Sale on substantially the same (or better) terms and conditions as those to be received by the Rangeland Member.  The Rangeland Member shall have the right to cause the Delek Member and its Affiliates to Transfer all of their Membership Interests in the Drag-Along Sale on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Drag-Along Notice; provided that (i) if the Drag-Along Sale occurs prior to the third anniversary of the Project In-Service Date, the cash consideration payable to the Delek Member and its Affiliates in connection with such Drag-Along Sale must be equal to or greater than [*CONFIDENTIAL*]% of the aggregate Capital Contributions of the Delek Member and its Affiliates in respect of the Membership Interest to be sold in the Drag-Along Sale and (ii) the consideration for the Rangeland Member’s Membership Interests must be equal to or greater than the purchase price contained in any applicable Counter-Offer.  Section 3.7(c) shall not apply to any Transfer pursuant to a Drag-Along Sale.
(e)    Rights of First Refusal.
(i)    If the Delek Member receives, and desires to accept, a Qualifying Offer from a ready, willing and able Transferee, the Delek Member shall first offer to 

23








Transfer such Membership Interest (the “Subject ROFR Interest”) to the Rangeland Member.  If the Delek Member’s Membership Interest is deemed a Subject ROFR Interest pursuant to Section 3.7(f) or (g), then the Delek Member shall comply with this Section 3.7(e).  Any such offer shall be made in the form of an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) to Transfer all (but not less than all) of the Subject ROFR Interest and shall contain a description of the price and other material terms and conditions of the transaction in which the Delek Member proposes to Transfer the Subject ROFR Interest, including the name of the ready, willing and able Transferee and the consideration specified, except that in the event that the Subject ROFR Interest was so deemed pursuant to Section 3.7(f) or (g), the Offer Notice shall specify that the consideration to be paid shall be the Fair Market Value of the Subject ROFR Interest.  The Rangeland Member shall have 30 days (the “Option Period”) after receipt of the Offer Notice within which to advise the Delek Member whether or not it will acquire the Subject ROFR Interest upon the terms and conditions contained in the Offer Notice.  If, within the Option Period, the Rangeland Member elects to acquire the Subject ROFR Interest, then the Rangeland Member and the Delek Member shall close such transaction no later than 60 days after the last day of the Option Period.
(ii)    The right herein created in favor of the Rangeland Member is an option to acquire all (but not less than all) of the Subject ROFR Interest offered for sale by the Delek Member.  If the Rangeland Member declines or fails to elect to acquire all of the Subject ROFR Interest in accordance with this Section 3.7(e), the Delek Member may Transfer such Subject ROFR Interest to the Transferee named in the Offer Notice delivered to the Rangeland Member on terms no more favorable to the Transferee than those described in such Offer Notice.  If the Transfer of the Subject ROFR Interest does not occur in accordance with the terms of such Offer Notice within 90 days after the last date of the Option Period, the Delek Member may not Transfer any of such Subject ROFR Interests without complying again in full with this Section 3.7(e).
(iii)    Upon consummation of any such Transfer (whether to the Rangeland Member or any other Person), such Transferee, with its Membership Interest, shall automatically become a party to, and be bound by, this Agreement and shall thereafter have all of the rights and obligations of a Member hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Transfers pursuant to this Section 3.7(e) must also comply with and be governed by the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in Sections 3.6, 3.8 and 3.9.
(iv)    Subject to the prior written consent of the Delek Member or the Rangeland Member, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, either Member may assign its rights of first refusal under this Section 3.7(e) to any of its Affiliates.
(f)    Security Interest.  If either Member should permit any Security Interest on any of its Membership Interests and a creditor or trustee-in-bankruptcy seeks to commence foreclosure remedies or proceedings upon all or any portion of the Membership Interests of such Member by a legal or equitable proceeding, the affected Member shall notify the other Member in writing, or if the affected Member fails to provide the required notice within five Business Days, the Company shall have the right to provide the required notice to the other Member (and such notice shall be deemed an Offer Notice for purposes of Section 3.7(e)(i)) and the entire 

24








Membership Interest owned by the affected Member shall be deemed to be the subject of a proposed Transfer (subject to the Security Interest) and, therefore, a Subject ROFR Interest offered to the Rangeland Member (in the case of the Delek Membership Interest) or the Delek Member (in the case of the Rangeland Member), at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Membership Interest, and the affected Member shall be obligated to sell its Membership Interest in accordance with Section 3.7(e) and this Section 3.7(f).  In the case of the application of this Section 3.7(f)  to the Rangeland Member, Section 3.7(e) shall apply to the Rangeland Member in the same manner and to the same extent such Section would otherwise apply to the Delek Member.
(g)    Dissolution; Bankruptcy.  If either Member (i) is dissolved and wound up, or (ii) becomes Bankrupt, the affected Member shall notify the other Member in writing, or if the affected Member fails to provide such notice within five Business Days, the Company shall have the right to provide such notice to the other Member (and such notice shall be deemed an Offer Notice for purposes of Section 3.7(e)(i)) and the entire Membership Interest owned by the affected Member shall be deemed to be the subject of a proposed Transfer and, therefore, a Subject ROFR Interest offered to the other Member at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Membership Interest, and the affected Member shall be obligated to sell its Membership Interest in accordance with Section 3.7(e) and this Section 3.7(g).  In the case of the application of this Section 3.7(g) to the Rangeland Member, Section 3.7(e) shall apply to the Rangeland Member in the same manner and to the same extent such Section would otherwise apply to the Delek Member.
(h)    Closing; Transfer Taxes.  At the closing of the Transfer of a Membership Interest pursuant to any of Sections 3.7(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g), the Transferee shall deliver to the Members Transferring their Membership Interests the full consideration agreed upon.  Any membership interest transfer or similar taxes involved in such sale shall be paid by the Members Transferring their Membership Interests and each such Member shall provide the Transferee with such evidence of such Transferring Member’s authority to Transfer hereunder and such tax lien waivers and similar instruments as the Transferee may reasonably request.
(i)    Governmental Approvals.  If any Governmental Entity consent or approval is required with respect to any Transfer, the Transferee shall have a reasonable amount of time (not to exceed 60 days from the date upon which such Transfer would have been otherwise consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any longer period for as long as a Member is diligently attempting to obtain the consent or approval) to obtain such consent or approval.  All Members shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to cooperate with the Transferee attempting to obtain, and to assist in timely obtaining, such consent or approval; provided that no Member shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs or additional liability or to sell or divest of any assets in connection with such cooperation and assistance.  After the expiration of any applicable waiting period, such Transferee shall forfeit its rights to acquire the Subject ROFR Interest with respect to such specific transaction; provided, however, that such forfeiture shall not limit or otherwise affect the forfeiting Transferee’s rights with respect to any subsequent proposed Transfer.
(j)    No Release.  Subject to Section 3.7(a), no Transfer of a Membership Interest shall effect a release of any of the Members Transferring their Membership Interests (or 

25








their applicable Affiliates) from any liabilities or obligations to the Company or the other Members that accrued prior to the Transfer.
(k)    Right to Appoint Successor Operator.  If the Rangeland Member and its Affiliates transfer all of their Membership Interests to a single transferee or a group of affiliated transferees, such transferee(s) shall have the right to appoint the successor Operator (subject to Section 6.15) and cause the Company to enter into replacement construction or operating agreements on substantially the same terms as the C&O Agreements. 
3.8    Documentation; Validity of Transfer.  The Company shall not recognize for any purpose any purported Transfer of all or any part of a Membership Interest unless and until (a) the applicable provisions of Sections 3.6 and 3.7 have been satisfied and (b) the Company has received a document in a form acceptable to the Company executed by the Member Transferring its Membership Interest (or if the Transfer is on account of the death, incapacity, or liquidation of the Member, its representative) and the Transferee.  Such document shall (i) include the notice address of the Transferee and such Person’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement with respect to the Membership Interest or part thereof being obtained, (ii) set forth the Membership Interest and Percentage Interest of the Member Transferring its Membership Interest and the Transferee after the Transfer (which together must total the Membership Interest and Percentage Interest of the Member Transferring its Membership Interest before the Transfer), (iii) contain a representation and warranty that the Transfer was made in accordance with all Laws (including state and federal securities Laws) and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iv) include a legally binding agreement of the Transferee to be bound by this Agreement from and after the date such Transferee becomes a Member and (v) if the Person to which the Membership Interest or part thereof is Transferred is to be admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member, its representation and warranty that the representations and warranties in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such Person.  Each Transfer and, if applicable, admission complying with the provisions of this Section 3.8 and the applicable provisions of Sections 3.6, 3.7 and 3.9(b) is effective against the Company as of the first Business Day of the Calendar Month immediately succeeding the Calendar Month in which (1) the Company receives the document required by this Section 3.8 reflecting such Transfer, and (2) the other requirements of Sections 3.6, 3.7 and 3.9(b) have been met.
3.9    Additional Members; Substituted Members.
(a)    Additional Persons, including Transferees, may be admitted to the Company as Members or Substituted Members as provided under the terms of this Section 3.9.  Any admission of an additional Member (including a new Member for new value provided to the Company) involving the issuance of additional Membership Interests requires the approval of the Board; provided, however, that any Transferee of any Membership Interest pursuant to a Transfer made in accordance with Section 3.7 shall be admitted automatically as an additional Member or Substituted Member, as applicable, upon compliance with the applicable provisions of Sections 3.6, 3.8 and 3.9(b) with respect to such Transfer, but without the consent or approval of any other Person.  Any Transferee that is not already a Member at the time of the Transfer and acquires a Membership Interest by foreclosure shall not be admitted as a Member without the approval of the Board.

26








(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Person may be admitted as an additional Member only if the Rangeland Member, in its reasonable discretion, approves of the credit worthiness of such Person or another Person delivers to the Company and the other Members a guaranty that is satisfactory to the Rangeland Member, in its reasonable discretion, as guarantor of such Transferee’s assumed obligations.
(c)    Unless and until a Transferee is admitted as a Substituted Member, such Transferee shall have no right to exercise any of the powers, rights and privileges of a Member hereunder other than to receive its share of distributions pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon becoming a Substituted Member (i) such Substituted Member shall have all of the powers, rights, privileges, duties, obligations and liabilities of a Member, as provided in this Agreement and by Laws to the extent of the Membership Interest so Transferred and (ii) the Member who Transferred the Membership Interest (A) shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Membership Interest so Transferred and (B) such Member and its guarantor shall be relieved of all of the obligations and liabilities with respect to such Membership Interest; provided that such Member shall remain fully liable for all liabilities and obligations relating to such Membership Interest that accrued prior to the applicable Transfer.
3.10    Information.
(a)    In addition to the other rights specifically set forth in this Agreement, each Member is entitled to all information to which that Member is entitled to have access pursuant to the Act and this Agreement under the circumstances and subject to the conditions therein and herein stated.
(b)    The Members acknowledge that, from time to time, they may receive information from or regarding the Company, its assets, its prospects, its customers or any other Member or its Affiliates in the nature of trade secrets or secret or proprietary information or information that is otherwise confidential, the release of which may be damaging to the Company or the Member or its Affiliates, as applicable, or Persons with which they do business.  Each Member shall hold in strict confidence any such information it receives and may not disclose such information to any Person other than another Member, except for disclosures (i) to comply with any Laws (including applicable stock exchange or quotation system requirements), (ii) to its employees, Affiliates, advisers or representatives of the Member, in each case, who have a need to know such information, or Persons to which that Member’s Membership Interest may be Transferred as permitted 

27








by this Agreement, but only if the recipients of such information have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.10(b), (iii) of information that a Member also has received from a source independent of the Company and that such Member reasonably believes such source obtained without breach of any obligation of confidentiality, (iv) of information obtained prior to the formation of the Company, provided that this clause (iv) shall not relieve any Member or any of its Affiliates from any obligations it may have to any other Member or any of its Affiliates under any existing confidentiality agreement, (v) to lenders, potential lenders, accountants and other representatives of the disclosing Member with a need to know such information, provided that the disclosing Member shall be responsible for such representatives’ use and disclosure of any such information, (vi) of public information, (vii) in connection with any proposed Transfer of all or part of a Membership Interest of a Member or the proposed sale of all or substantially all of a Member, to advisers or representatives of the Member or Persons to which such interest may be Transferred as permitted by this Agreement, but only if the recipients of such information have agreed in writing to be bound by confidentiality provisions that are no less stringent than those set forth in this Section 3.10(b), or (viii) of information that such Member can reasonably demonstrate was independently developed by such Member without reliance upon any material separately developed by or for the Company (other than by such Member) in connection with the Project (it being understood and agreed that any engineering studies and drawings developed by or for such Member shall not be considered “Confidential Information” if such engineering studies and drawings were developed without reliance on, or otherwise using, similar engineering studies and drawings developed by or for the Company (other than by such Member)) in connection with the Project shall be considered “Confidential Information”); provided, further, that the Members agree that no Member shall be presumed to have misused any information contained in such written materials solely because any Member or any of its representatives retained mental impressions of such information as a result of attendance at any meeting at which such written materials were presented.  Further, no Member shall be presumed to have misused any information solely because an Affiliate of such Member is the Operator nor shall such Member have any greater obligation than any other Member with respect to Confidential Information solely because an Affiliate of such Member is the Operator.  The Members acknowledge that a breach of the provisions of this Section 3.10(b) may cause irreparable injury to the Company or another Member for which monetary damages are inadequate, difficult to compute, or both.  Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Section 3.10(b) (i) may be enforced by injunctive action or specific performance and the Members hereby waive any requirement to post bond in connection with any injunctive order or order for specific performance and (ii) shall survive for a period of 2 years after dissolution of the Company pursuant to Article X.
(c)    Notwithstanding Sections 3.10(a) and 3.10(b), the Company and the Rangeland Member may make public representations, announcements, press releases or press briefings concerning the Project.  Either Member or its Controlling Affiliates may make public representations, announcements, press release or press briefings concerning the Project and its ownership in the Company as required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules.  Prior to any disclosure pursuant to this Section 3.10(c), the non-disclosing Member(s) shall be provided a written copy of such representations, announcements, press release or press briefing (or the anticipated content thereof) and afforded reasonable time to review and comment and to prepare any related disclosures required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Member may make disclosures in violation Law applicable to any Member.
3.11    Liability to Third Parties.  Except as required by the Act, no Member shall be liable to any Person (including any Third Party, the Company or to another Member) (a) as the result of any act or omission of another Member or (b) for Company losses, liabilities or obligations (except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such Member).
3.12    Resignation.  Each Member hereby covenants and agrees that it will not resign from the Company as a Member.
3.13    Fair Market Value.
(a)    The Fair Market Value of a Subject ROFR Interest deemed to be offered under Sections 3.7(f) or (g) shall be determined as of the last day of the Calendar Month

28








 immediately preceding the occurrence of such deemed offer (the “Determination Date”); provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of a Membership Interest, the Fair Market Value shall be reduced by any distributions made to the transferring Member attributable to the Membership Interest, and increased by any Capital Contributions made by the transferring Member attributable to the Membership Interest, occurring during the time period between the Determination Date and the closing of the purchase and sale, and (ii) for purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of a Membership Interest that is offered pursuant to Sections 3.7(f) or (g), the determination of Fair Market Value shall take into account any adverse impact on the current and projected enterprise value of the Company’s business resulting from the deemed Transfer under Sections 3.7(f) or (g), and any related impairment of the transferring Member’s credit or the Company’s commercial arrangements with the transferring Member.
(b)    The Fair Market Value of a Subject ROFR Interest deemed to be offered under Sections 3.7(f) or (g) shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Delek Member (or its Designee) and the Rangeland Member; provided, however, that if such Persons do not agree on the Fair Market Value within 20 days of the expiration of the Option Period, then (a) either Member (or its Designee), by written notice to the other Member, may require the determination of Fair Market Value to be made by Duff & Phelps (the “Appraiser”), and (b) the “Option Period” shall thereafter be extended until the tenth day following the final determination of Fair Market Value in accordance with the terms hereof.  If, within 10 days following receipt of the notice described above in clause (a), the Appraiser cannot or is unwilling to act as the independent appraiser, and the Members (including to the extent applicable, any Designee) otherwise fail to agree on an independent appraiser, any Member (or its Designee) may request the regional office of the CPR Institute covering Houston, Texas to designate an independent appraiser who shall be qualified by his or her education, training and experience in the crude oil transportation and storage industry to determine the Fair Market Value of such Subject ROFR Interest, whose determination of the independent appraiser shall be final and binding on the Members.  If the regional office of the CPR Institute fails to designate an independent appraiser, any Member (or its Designee) may in writing request the judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas senior in term of service to appoint an independent appraiser qualified by his or her education, training and experience in the crude oil transportation and storage industry to determine the Fair Market Value of such Subject ROFR Interest, whose determination of the independent appraiser shall be final and binding on all Members.  If the independent appraiser so chosen shall die, resign or otherwise fail or becomes unable to serve as independent appraiser, a replacement independent appraiser shall be chosen in accordance with this Section 3.13(b).  The Board shall provide the independent appraiser with all information and data reasonably necessary to make a determination of Fair Market Value, subject to a customary confidentiality agreement.  The independent appraiser shall report to the Members (including to the extent applicable, any Designee) its determination of Fair Market Value within 30 days after appointment, and such determination shall be final and binding on all Members.  The Delek Member and the Rangeland Member shall each pay one-half of the appraisal and court costs in appointing an appraiser.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Delek Member (or its Designee) and the Rangeland Member, the purchase price for such Subject ROFR Interest shall be payable only in cash.

29








ARTICLE IV
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
4.1    Capital Contributions.
(a)    As of the Effective Date, and in exchange for their respective Membership Interests, (i) the Rangeland Member has contributed to the Company certain assets which the Members agree have a Gross Asset Value equal to the amount set forth opposite the Rangeland Member’s name on Exhibit A and (ii) the Delek Member has contributed to the Company cash in the amount set forth opposite the Delek Member’s name on Exhibit A (each, an “Initial Capital Contribution”). 
(b)    To the extent such sums are not funded from the Initial Capital Contributions or working capital or other cash on hand, the Members agree, pursuant to Capital Calls, to contribute to the Company in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests, Capital Contributions required to fund (i) Project Development Costs, (ii) any other maintenance costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project and contemplated in an Approved Budget and (iii) the Company’s obligations under the C&O Agreements. 
(c)    To the extent a Member is required to fund a Capital Call hereunder, such Member shall make a cash payment to the Company no later than 30 calendar days from the issuance date of such Capital Call (or such earlier date as may be required to meet the Company’s funding obligations under the C&O Agreements).
(d)    No Member is permitted to make any Capital Contribution other than as required by this Article IV.
4.2    Failure to Contribute.  
(a)    If a Member is in Default as a result of its failure to contribute all or any portion of a Capital Contribution such Member (“Delinquent Member”) is required to make as provided in this Agreement, any one or more of the other Members (each a “Non-Delinquent Member”) may advance the entire amount of the Delinquent Member’s Capital Contribution that is in Default as a Capital Contribution (“Default Contribution”), with each Non-Delinquent Member having the right to participate by making its share of such advance in proportion to its Percentage Interest (without taking into account the Percentage Interests of the Delinquent Member or the non-participating Non-Delinquent Members) or in such other percentages as the participating Non-Delinquent Members may agree.  
(b)    The Company shall automatically adjust the Percentage Interest for each Member on the date the Default Contribution is made.  Upon the adjustment set forth in the preceding sentence, (i) Exhibit A shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such adjusted Percentage Interests and (ii) the Default of the Delinquent Member arising as a result of its failure to make the applicable Capital Contribution shall be deemed cured.
(c)    With respect to the failure to make any required Capital Contribution for any purpose, any Non-Delinquent Member shall have the right to exercise the following 

30








remedies with respect to a Delinquent Member in addition to the rights granted by Sections 4.2(a) and 13.13:
(i)    such Non-Delinquent Member may at any time take such action (including court proceedings) as such Non-Delinquent Member may deem appropriate to obtain payment by the Delinquent Member of the portion of the Delinquent Member’s Capital Contribution that is in Default, along with all costs and expenses associated with the collection of such Delinquent Member’s Capital Contribution; and
(ii)    such Non-Delinquent Member may at any time exercise any other rights and remedies available under this Agreement or at law or in equity.
4.3    Return of Contributions.  A Member is not entitled (a) to the return of any part of any Capital Contributions or (b) to be paid interest in respect of its Capital Contributions.  An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member.  A Member is not required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any other Member’s Capital Contributions.
4.4    Parent Guarantee.  Concurrently with the execution hereof, the Delek Member shall provide an irrevocable guarantee from Delek Parent in favor of the Company guaranteeing payment and performance of the Delek Member’s and its Affiliates’ obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE V

Subject to the provisions of section 18-607 of the Act and Sections 3.5(d), 5.2 and 13.13(a), the Board shall distribute Available Cash to the Members (a) as required by Section 5.2(a) and (b) in accordance with Sections 5.2(b) and (c) promptly after the end of each calendar quarter and at such other times as the Board may determine in its discretion.  Distributions of Available Cash shall be paid on the dates and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Board in accordance with this Agreement.  
5.2    Priority of Distributions.  Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2, any distributions attributable to the Membership Interests of the Company paid in cash, property, or equity ownership of the Company shall be made to the Members as follows:
(a)    first, to the extent of Available Cash, and as soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, if for any Member the Hypothetical Tax Amount as of the end of such year (as estimated by the Board in good faith) exceeds the total amounts distributed to such Member for the current and all prior years, to each Member in proportion to and to the extent of such excess (all distributions pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) shall be treated as advances against amounts otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to Sections 5.2(b) and (c), and the next subsequent distributions to such Member pursuant to such Section shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis); and 

31








(b)    second, in proportion to and to the extent of the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of such Member’s Capital Contributions over (ii) the sum of all prior distributions to such Member pursuant to this Section 5.2(b); and
(c)    third, to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
5.3    Allocations.
(a)    Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses.  For purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, Net Profits and Net Losses (or items thereof) for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.  
(b)    Regulatory Allocations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:
(i)    Minimum Gain Chargeback.  If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2).  This Section 5.3(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(ii)    Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback.  If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year, then each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).  This Section 5.3(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(iii)    Qualified Income Offset.  If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of the type contemplated by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), then items of income and gain shall be allocated to all such Members (in proportion to the amounts of their respective deficit Adjusted Capital Accounts) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of such Member as quickly as possible.  It is intended that this Section 5.3(b)(iii) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

32








(iv)    Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss.  If the allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) to a Member as provided in Section 5.3(a) hereof would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit, then there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit.  The Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 5.3(b)(iv).
(v)    Certain Additional Adjustments.  To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its Membership Interests, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests in the Company in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
(vi)    Nonrecourse Deductions.  The Nonrecourse Deductions for each Company taxable year shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests.
(vii)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  The Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated each year to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-2) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.
(viii)    Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Section 5.3(b)(i)– (vii) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2(i).  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3(a), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
(c)    Tax Allocations.
(i)    Except as provided in Section 5.3(c)(ii) hereof, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members consistently with the manner in which corresponding items are allocated for “book” purposes pursuant to this Section 5.3.

33








(ii)    In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value at the time of its contribution to the Company.  If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted in accordance with clause (c) or (d) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, then subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value as provided in Code Section 704(c) and the related Regulations.  For purposes of such allocations, the Company shall elect the remedial allocation method described in Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).  
(iii)    All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof and basis allocations recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company.
(iv)    If any deductions for depreciation or cost recovery are recaptured as ordinary income upon the transfer of Company properties, the ordinary income character of the gain from such transfer shall be allocated among the Members in the same ratio as the deductions giving rise to such ordinary character were allocated.
(d)    Allocation and Other Rules.
(i)    Net Profits, Net Losses, and any other items of income, gain, loss, or deduction will be allocated to the Members pursuant to this Section 5.3 as of the last day of each Fiscal Year, provided that Net Profits, Net Losses, and the other items will also be allocated at any time the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets are adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value.”
(ii)    For any Fiscal Year or other period during which any part of a Membership Interest in the Company is transferred between the Members or to another Person, the portion of the Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit that are allocable with respect to such part of a Membership Interest in the Company shall be apportioned between the transferor and the transferee using any method allowed pursuant to Section 706 of the Code and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Board with Required Consent.
(iii)    For purposes of determining the Net Profits, Net Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Net Profits, Net Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Board with Required Consent using any method that is permissible under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(iv)    For purposes of determining a Member’s proportional share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Regulations Section 

34








1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Net Profits shall be such Member’s Percentage Interest.
(v)    The Members acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 5.3 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.3 in reporting their shares of Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local income tax purposes.
ARTICLE VI
MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY
6.1    Management.  The management of the Company shall be exercised in accordance with this Section 6.1:
(a)    A Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall be established by the Company.  Decisions or actions taken by the Board in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute decisions or actions by the Company and shall be binding on each Member, Board Member and employee of the Company.  Any Person dealing with the Company, other than a Member or a Member’s Affiliate, may rely on the authority of the Board, the Operator or the Officers in taking any action in the name of the Company without inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance with it, regardless of whether that action actually is taken in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise agreed by Required Consent or actions taken in the capacity of Operator pursuant to the C&O Agreements (if the Operator is a Member), no Member shall have any unilateral right or authority to take any action on behalf of the Company or to bind or commit the Company with respect to Third Parties or otherwise.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Member hereby (i) specifically delegates to the Board (and agrees that the Board may delegate to the Operator pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and Officers pursuant to Section 6.1(c)) its rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the provisions of section 18-407 of the Act and (ii) waives its right to bind the Company, as contemplated by the provisions of section 18-402 of the Act.  Any right or power not delegated pursuant to this Agreement shall be retained by the Members.
(b)    The Board delegates to the Operator the power and authority set forth in the C&O Agreements.  Decisions or actions taken by the Operator in accordance with the provisions of any C&O Agreement and this Agreement shall constitute decisions or actions by the Company and shall be binding on each Member and the Company.
(c)    The Board also may delegate from time to time to Officers certain powers and authority as provided in Section 6.10.  Decisions or actions taken by any such Officer within the power and authority delegated to such Officer shall constitute decisions or actions by the Company and shall be binding on each Member and the Company.  The Board may also appoint individuals as managers of the Company’s Subsidiaries as it deems necessary or desirable to carry on the business of such Subsidiary.
6.2    Board.

35








(a)    The Board shall initially consist of four Board Members, two of whom shall be appointed by the Rangeland Member and two of whom shall be appointed by the Delek Member.  The voting power of the Board Members appointed by a Member shall equal in the aggregate the Percentage Interest of the Member that appointed such Board Members.  All such voting powers shall be exercised by such Board Members in the aggregate, and not individually.  No individual shall serve as a Board Member if such individual is a plaintiff in any litigation, arbitration or similar proceeding involving the Company or its Affiliates.  Each Board Member may notify the other Board Members, from time to time, of the identity of one representative of such Board Member who will represent it at any Board meeting at which such Board Member is unable to attend (an “Alternate Board Member”).  The term “Board Member” shall also refer to any Alternate Board Member that is actually performing the duties of the applicable Board Member in lieu of that Board Member. 
(b)    The initial Board Members and initial Alternate Board Members are set forth on Schedule 6.2.
(c)    Each Board Member may vote by delivering his written proxy to another Board Member.  A Board Member shall serve until he resigns or is removed as provided in Section 6.8.
(d)    The Board may establish, name or dissolve one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Board Members.  Any committee established pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority delegated to such committee by the Board.
(e)    Each Board Member shall have the full authority to act on behalf of the Member that designated such Board Member; the action of a Board Member at a meeting (or through a written consent) of the Board shall bind the Member that designated such Board Member; and the other Members shall be entitled to rely upon such action without further inquiry or investigation as to the actual authority (or lack thereof) of such Board Member.  In addition, the act of an Alternate Board Member shall be deemed the act of the Board Member for which such Alternate Board Member is acting, without the need to produce evidence of the absence or unavailability of such Board Member.
6.3    Powers of the Board.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6, the Board (and any Officer, the Operator or any committee duly authorized by the Board and within the delegation of authority granted to such Officer, Operator or committee) shall have the power, right and authority to take all actions on behalf of the Company (directly or through any Subsidiaries) which the Board deems necessary, useful or appropriate for the management and conduct of the Company Business or to the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company.
6.4    Budgets.  For each Fiscal Year, the activities and operations of the Company, including the Ordinary Expenditures, for such period shall be set forth in the applicable Budget.  The Company’s initial Construction Budget, which is attached as Exhibit C hereto (the “Initial Construction Budget”) and hereby adopted and approved, will apply with respect to the period prior to the Project In-Service Date. From and after the Project In-Service Date, except for the Company’s initial Operating Budget, which is attached as Exhibit D hereto (the “Initial 

36








Operating Budget”) and hereby adopted and approved, each Operating Budget shall be submitted to and approved (as submitted or with modifications) by the Board, in the following manner:
(a)    At least 45 days prior to the expiration of each Fiscal Year, the Operator shall prepare and submit (or cause to be prepared and submitted) an Operating Budget for the next Fiscal Year to the Board.
(b)    The Board shall approve such Operating Budget (as submitted or with modifications) no later than the beginning of the next Fiscal Year.  If the Board fails to approve an Operating Budget for a Fiscal Year prior to the first day of such Fiscal Year, then the Operating Budget for such Fiscal Year will be equal to [*CONFIDENTIAL*]% of the Operating Budget for the prior Fiscal Year (without taking into account increases pursuant to Section 6.4(c) that were not approved by the Board), until an Operating Budget for such Fiscal Year is approved by the Board; provided that (i) if, as of the Project In-Service Date, the Board has not approved an Operating Budget for the then-current Fiscal Year, the Operating Budget for the remainder of such Fiscal Year will be the Initial Operating Budget (prorated for such partial year) and (ii) if the Board has not approved an Operating Budget for the first full Fiscal Year following the Project In-Service Date prior to the first day of such Fiscal Year, the Operating Budget for such Fiscal Year shall be [*CONFIDENTIAL*]% of the Initial Operating Budget. 
(c)    If, during the period covered by an Approved Budget, the Operator determines that an adjustment to the estimated costs, expenses, Ordinary Expenditures or Capital Expenditures set forth in such Approved Budget is necessary or appropriate, then the Operator shall submit (or cause to be submitted) to the Board for approval an adjusted Budget setting forth such adjusted or additional line items; provided, however, that no approval is necessary for (i) an increase up to the Permitted Budget Increase, (ii) expenses required to address an emergency in the Operator’s reasonable discretion or (iii) an increase necessary to enable the Operator to perform the services under the Construction Agreement in accordance with the Standards (as defined in the Construction Agreement) or the services under the Operating Agreement in accordance with the Standard of Care (as defined in the Operating Agreement) as determined by Operator in its reasonable discretion. The Board shall approve or disapprove the adjusted Budget within 30 days after receipt of such adjusted Budget, except that the Operator may request a shorter period of not less than ten days in which the Board shall approve or disapprove an adjusted Budget.
6.5    Meetings of the Board.
(a)    Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at least twice a year at the principal offices of the Company or at such other times or places as determined by the Board.  Special meetings of the Board may be called by any of the Board Members.  Each Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts, in good faith, to cause its designated Board Member or Alternate Board Member to attend each regular or special meeting of the Board.
(b)    Notice of the time and place of any regular meeting of the Board shall be in accordance with the meeting schedule approved by the Board.  Special meetings of the Board may be called by providing at least three days’ notice prior to the meeting.  Special meetings of the Board to deal with emergencies may be called by providing at least six hours’ notice prior to the meeting, so long as each Board Member provides written confirmation of receipt of notice or waives notice (including by attending the emergency meeting).  Written notice of meetings of the Board, including the purpose of the meeting, shall be given to each Board Member (and each Alternate Board Member) with the notice of the meeting.  Any Board Member may waive notice of 

37








any meeting by the execution of a written waiver prior or subsequent to such meeting.  The attendance of a Board Member at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Board Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the Board, need be specified in the waiver of notice of such meeting.
(c)    All meetings of the Board shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board.  The Company’s Secretary shall act as the secretary of the meeting who shall make a written record of the proceedings of such meeting and shall be provided to the Members promptly after the meeting.  The Chairman of the Board shall be appointed by (i) the Operating Member or (ii) if either there is no Operating Member, the Member with the largest Percentage Interest; provided, however, that with respect to the situation described in clause (ii) above, if no single Member has the largest Percentage Interest, the Board Members appointed by the two or more Members with the largest equal Percentage Interests shall rotate the appointment of Chairman of the Board on an annual basis.
(d)    The Board may adopt whatever rules and procedures relating to its activities as it may deem appropriate, provided that such rules and procedures shall not be inconsistent with or violate the provisions of this Agreement and, provided further, that such rules and regulations shall permit Board Members to participate in meetings by telephone or video conference or the like or by written proxy, and such participation shall be deemed attendance for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
6.6    Quorum and Voting.
(a)    The attendance of Board Members representing a Required Consent shall constitute a quorum of the Board for the transaction of business.
(b)    All actions and approvals of the Board shall be approved and passed by the Required Consent of the Board at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
(c)    Any Board Member may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other.
(d)    Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by Board Members constituting a Required Consent, as may be required to approve such action at a meeting of the Board held for such purpose.  Each written consent shall bear the date and signature of each Board Member who signs the consent and a copy of such consent shall be promptly delivered to any Board Member who has not signed such consent.
6.7    Special Consent Decisions.

The Board may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it and any act taken or omitted in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the Board Members reasonably believe to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.  
(b)    Except for the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, no Board Member or Alternate Board Member (in such Person’s capacity as a Board Member or Alternate Board Member) shall have any fiduciary or quasi-fiduciary duty (and each Member and the Company hereby waive any and all such duties) to the Company, the Members, the other Board Members and Alternate Board Members or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement and any standard of care and duty otherwise imposed on any Board Member or Alternate Board Member by this Agreement or under the Act or any Law shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by Law.  Each Member acknowledges and agrees that any Board Member or Alternate Board Member shall serve in such capacity to represent the interests of the Member that designated such Board Member or Alternate Board Member and shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors specified by the Member that designated such Board Member or Alternate Board Member.  To the maximum extent permitted 

43








by applicable Law, a Board Member or Alternate Board Member, in performing his or her duties and obligations as a Board Member or Alternate Board Member under this Agreement, shall be entitled to act or omit to act at the direction of the Member that appointed such Board Member or Alternate Board Member, considering only such factors, including the separate interests of such appointing Member, as such Board Member, Alternate Board Member or Member chooses to consider, and any action of a Board Member or Alternate Board Member or failure to act, taken or omitted in good faith reliance on the foregoing provision shall not, as between the Company and the other Members, on the one hand, and such Board Member and Alternate Board Member and the appointing Member, on the other hand, constitute a breach of any duty (including any fiduciary or other similar duty, to the extent that such duty exists under the Act or any other applicable Law, rule or regulation) on the part of such Board Member, Alternate Board Member or appointing Member, or any other Board Member, Alternate Board Member or Member.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.9(b), each Board Member shall act in the best interests of the Company when acting pursuant to Section 6.7(b).
6.10    Officers.
(a)    The Board may appoint individuals that are nominated by the Operating Member as officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including managers and directors of Subsidiaries (each, an “Officer”) as it deems necessary or desirable to carry on the business of the Company and the Board may delegate to such Officers such power and authority as the Board deems advisable.  The Operating Member has the exclusive right to nominate such Officers.  In the event another Member disputes the nomination of an Officer in good faith, the Operating Member shall nominate a replacement Officer.  Any individual may hold two or more offices of the Company.  The initial Officers are set forth on Schedule 6.10.
(b)    In the event Officers are appointed, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)    The compensation of all Officers shall be fixed by the Board in accordance with the Approved Budget and such Persons shall be reimbursed for any authorized out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred on behalf of the Company.
(ii)    Each Officer shall have a duty to the Company to take all actions related to their duties and authorities as officer in accordance with the best interests of the Company.
(iii)    The Board may establish formal delegation of authority guidelines that specify approval authority and dollar limits for any such Officers.  Unless the Board decides otherwise, the assignment of a title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of those duties that are normally associated with that office, and any other duties that may be determined by the Board.
(iv)    An Officer shall serve until he resigns, his term expires or he is removed as provided in Section 6.10(b)(v).  Any Officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board.  The resignation of any Officer shall take effect upon receipt of notice or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice; and, unless otherwise specified in such notice, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

44








(v)    Any Officer may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Board, and any vacancy due to the Board removing such Officer shall be filled by appointment by the Board.
(vi)    The duties of any Officer appointed as a President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President or Secretary shall be as follows:
(A)    The President shall have such general executive powers to manage the business and operations of the Company as the Board may from time to time prescribe.

In addition, the Chief Financial Officer shall have general supervision of the funds, securities, notes, drafts, acceptances, and other commercial paper and evidences of indebtedness of the Company and shall determine that funds belonging to the Company are kept on deposit in such banking institutions as the Board may from time to time direct.  The Chief Financial Officer shall determine that accurate accounting records are kept, and the Chief Financial Officer shall render reports of the same and of the financial condition of the Company to the Members or the Board at any time upon request.  The Chief Financial Officer shall perform other duties commonly incident to such office, including, but not limited to, the execution of tax returns.
(C)    In the absence of the President, or in the event of his inability or refusal to act, the Vice President (or in the event there be more than one Vice President, the Vice Presidents in the order designated by the Board, or in the absence of any such designation, then in the order of their election or appointment) shall perform the duties of the President, and when so acting, shall have all the powers of and be subject to all the restrictions upon the President.
(D)    The Secretary shall keep the minutes of the meetings of the Board, and shall exercise general supervision over the files of the Company.  The Secretary shall give notice of meetings and shall perform other duties commonly incident to such office.
6.11    Affiliate Contracts.  The Members hereby ratify, confirm and approve the Company entering into, and performing its obligations under, the C&O Agreements and Special Consent thereof shall not be required.  Subject to Section 6.7(b), the Members acknowledge that the Company may from time to time enter into contracts or other transactions with a Member or an Affiliate or Related Party of a Member. 
6.12    Insurance.  The Company will cause the Operator to ensure that the Company receives the benefit of an insurance program meeting the criteria approved by the Board (the “Insurance Program”); provided, however, that if it is determined that any portion of the 

45








Insurance Program is unenforceable in any respect under applicable Law, the Insurance Program shall automatically be amended to conform to such Law for so long as such Law is in effect.  If any insurance coverage required by the Insurance Program becomes commercially unavailable or, in the opinion of a Member, prohibitively expensive, the Members agree to negotiate in good faith a resolution so as to permit the Company to obtain alternate coverage at a reasonable cost.
6.13    Compensation and Reimbursement.  The Board Members shall not receive any compensation or reimbursement for managing the affairs of the Company.
6.14    Employees.  The Company and its Subsidiaries may engage such employees, independent contractors or agents as are consistent with the Approved Budget, who shall hold their positions for such terms, exercise such powers, and perform such duties as shall be determined from time to time by the Company.
6.15    Minimum Requirements for Operator.  Prior to being designated as a replacement or successor Operator, other than an Operator designated pursuant to Section 6.7(b)(i)(B) or 6.7(f), the proposed replacement or successor Operator must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board in its reasonable discretion that such Person has sufficient creditworthiness, experience and resources to perform the obligations of the Operator under the C&O Agreements (or any replacements thereof) and is not restricted or prohibited from performing the obligations of the Operator under the C&O Agreements (or any replacements thereof).
6.16    Information Provided to Board Members.  The Company shall provide to all Board Members copies of all materials received by the Company from the Operator related to matters that will be considered by the Board for approval at a meeting or by written consent of the Board.

7.1    Right to Indemnification.  Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided herein or by Laws, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (hereinafter, a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Member of the Company, a Board Member, a member of a committee of the Board or an Officer, or while such a Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, member, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic general partnership, corporation, limited partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the Company to the extent such Proceeding or other above-described process relates to any such above-described relationships with, status with respect to, or representation of any such Person to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said Laws permitted the Company to provide prior 

46








to such amendment) against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this Article VII shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder for any and all liabilities and damages related to and arising from such Person’s activities while acting in such capacity; provided, however, that no Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.1 in the event the Proceeding involves acts or omissions of such Person which constitute an intentional breach of this Agreement or gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Person.  The rights granted pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article VII shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal.  It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Article VII could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability.
7.2    Indemnification of Officers, Employees and Agents.  The Company may indemnify, and advance expenses to, Persons who are not or have never been a Member, including current and former members of the Board, Officers, employees or agents of the Company, and those Persons who are or have served at the request of the Company as a manager, director, Officer, partner, venturer, member, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic general partnership, corporation, limited partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a Person to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to a Member under this Article VII.
7.3    Advance Payment.  Any right to indemnification conferred in this Article VII shall include a limited right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company for any and all reasonable expenses as they are incurred by a Person entitled to be indemnified under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 who was, or is threatened, to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to such Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Person of his good faith belief that he has met the requirements necessary for indemnification under this Article VII and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII or otherwise.
7.4    Appearance as a Witness.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, the Company may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII in connection with such Person’s appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.
7.5    Nonexclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which 

47








a Person indemnified pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 may have or hereafter acquire under any Laws, this Agreement, or any other agreement, vote of Members or otherwise.
7.6    Insurance.  The Company shall, in accordance with Section 6.12, purchase and maintain indemnification insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any other Persons from any expenses, liabilities, or losses that may be indemnified under this Article VII.
7.7    Member Notification.  Any indemnification of or advance of expenses to any Person entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII shall be reported in writing to the Members with or before the notice or waiver of notice of the next Members’ meeting or with or before the next submission to Members of a consent to action without a meeting and, in any case, within the six month period immediately following the date the indemnification or advance was made.
7.8    Savings Clause.  If this Article VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Laws.
7.9    Scope of Indemnity.  For the purposes of this Article VII, references to the “Company” include all constituent entities, whether corporations or otherwise, absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving entity.  Thus, any Person entitled to be indemnified or receive advances under this Article VII shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have if such merger, consolidation, or other reorganization never occurred.

(c)    No Member shall file a request pursuant to Code Section 6227 for an administrative adjustment of Company items for any taxable year, or a petition under Code Sections 6226 or 6228 or other Code Sections with respect to any item involving the Company, without first notifying the other Members.
(d)    The tax matters partner will keep the other Members promptly informed about any communications with the tax authorities in connection with any Company-level audit.  The tax matters partner will consult in good faith with the other Members in connection with any such audit about strategy and use commercially reasonable efforts to give the other Members the opportunity to attend any meetings with the tax authorities in such audits (it being understood that the tax authorities are not always amenable to such  participation), but will ultimately control the selection of counsel to assist in the audits and the approach taken with the tax authorities.  The tax matters partner will provide each Member with notice reasonably in advance of any meetings or conferences with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the determination of Company items at the Company level (including any meetings or conferences with counsel or advisors to the Company with respect to such proceedings) and (to the extent permitted by the tax authorities) each Member will have the right to participate, at its sole cost and expense, in any such meetings or conferences.  The tax matters partner shall cause each other Member to be a "notice partner" within the meaning of Section 6231 of the Code.

49








8.4    Combined or Consolidated Returns.  If either Member is required to include the income, receipts or related items of the Company in a combined or consolidated return filed by such Member (the “Including Member”), the Including Member shall pay the tax due in connection with such combined or consolidated return; and the Company shall promptly pay the Including Member the amount of tax that the Company would have been required to pay if the Company had filed a hypothetical “standalone” return for such period.  Tax administration and controversy matters with respect to any such taxes shall be handled by the tax matters partner.  The tax matters partner shall keep the other Member reasonably informed of developments, shall promptly deliver copies of any written communications with the tax authorities related to such issue, and shall provide the other Member with a reasonable opportunity to comment on any communication to the tax authorities related to such issue, taking into account any reasonable comments of such other Member.

(c)    In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory provision of the Act or other Laws, the applicable provision of the Act or other Laws, as the case may be, shall control.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  The Parties agree to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties to the greatest extent legally permissible.
(d)    Claims or controversies arising out of this Agreement shall be determined and resolved in accordance with the following procedures:
(i)    Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including without limitation the meaning of its provisions, or the proper performance of its terms, its breach, termination or invalidity (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 13.5, which until the completion of the procedures set forth in Section 13.5(d)(iii), will be the sole and exclusive procedure for the resolution of any such Dispute, except that any party, without prejudice to the following procedures, may file a complaint to seek preliminary injunctive or other provisional judicial relief, if, in its sole judgment, that action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo or to avoid any applicable statute of limitations running.  Despite that action the Parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Section 13.5(d).
(ii)    Any Party wishing to initiate the Dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 13.5 must give written notice of the Dispute to the other Party (a “Dispute Notice”).  The Dispute Notice will include (i) a statement of that Party’s position and summary of arguments supporting that position, and (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party and of any other Person who will accompany the executive, in the negotiations under Section 13.5(d)(iii).
(iii)    If any Party has given a Dispute Notice, the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute within 30 days of delivery of the Dispute Notice (such period, the “Negotiation Period”) by negotiations between executives who have authority to settle the Dispute and who are either a Board Member of the Company or at a Vice President or higher level of management (or functional equivalent) of the Person (or its managing member or general partner) with direct responsibility of the administration of this Agreement or the matter in Dispute.  Within 15 days after the delivery of the Dispute Notice, the receiving Party will submit to the other a written response.  The response shall include (A) a statement of the Party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (B) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party and of any other Person who will accompany the executive.  During the Negotiation Period, such executives of the parties will meet at least weekly, at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter during the Negotiation Period as more often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute.
(iv)    If a Dispute is not resolved as of the end of the Negotiation Period (including any agreed extensions), the Dispute shall be resolved and decided by the state 

57








and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas.  Each Party hereby agrees that service of summons, complaint or other process in connection with any proceedings contemplated hereby may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Party at the address specified pursuant to Section 13.12.
(e)    EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE MEMBERS, AND ANY INDEMNITEES SEEKING REMEDIES HEREUNDER, HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR ACTION OF ANY MEMBER, BOARD MEMBER OR INDEMNITEE, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
13.6    Further Assurances.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Members agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In case, at any time after the execution of this Agreement, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out its purposes, the proper officers or directors of the Members shall take or cause to be taken all such necessary action.

13.9    Books and Records.

13.10    Audit Rights of Members.
(a)    Each Member shall have the right to inspect and audit the books and records of the Company no more than once during any Calendar Year  (excluding any inspection of the books and records of the Company by a Member pursuant to Section 9.2(c)).  Such audits shall be conducted at the cost of the Member(s) requesting same.  The audit rights with respect to any Calendar Year or any portion of such Calendar Year shall terminate on the last day of the second Calendar Year immediately following the Calendar Year in question.  A Member may exercise its audit rights hereunder by giving at least 30 days’ written notice to the Company or 

58








the other Member, as applicable, of the desire to perform such audit, which notice shall include the estimated timing and other particulars related to such audit.  The audit shall be conducted during the normal business hours of the Company or the Member that is subject to audit, as applicable.  The audit shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Company or the Member that is subject to audit, as applicable.  If any financial statement is not audited during the time period prescribed herein, then it shall be presumed to be accurate.
(b)    Any Member shall have the right to cause the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to exercise its inspection and audit rights, if any, under the C&O Agreements.  The costs related thereto shall be paid by the Member(s) requesting same.
13.11    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Section 3.13 with respect to Designees, the provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of the Members and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, solely with respect to Article VII, the Persons entitled to be indemnified as described therein.  Except for the foregoing, this Agreement is not intended to benefit or create rights in any other Person or Governmental Entity, including (a) the Company, (b) any Person or Governmental Entity to whom any debts, liabilities or obligations are owed by the Company or any Member, or (c) any Liquidator, trustee or creditor acting on behalf of the Company, and no such creditor or any other Person or Governmental Entity shall have any rights under this Agreement, including rights with respect to enforcing the payment of Capital Contributions.
13.12    Notices.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary (including in the definition of the term Default), any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing (including e-mail) and sent to the address of the Party set forth below, or to such other more recent address of which the sending Party actually has received written notice:

(b)    if to the Members, to each of the Members listed on Exhibit A at the address set forth therein.
Each such notice, demand or other communication shall be effective, if sent to the physical street address in this Section 13.12, when delivered at such address, or if sent by email, upon confirmation of the sender’s delivery of the email to the recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, return e-mail or other evidence of delivery of email); provided that, if such notice, demand or other communication sent by email is not sent during the recipient’s normal business hours, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the recipient’s opening of business on the next Business Day.
13.13    Remedies.
(a)    For so long as a Member is in Default, the rights, but not obligations, of such Member hereunder, including the Member’s and its Board Member’s rights to vote or consent and the Member’s right to receive distributions from the Company pursuant to Article IV, shall be suspended; provided, however, that subject to the application of Section 13.1, any distributions that would have been paid by the Company to such Member except for the application of this Section 13.13(a) shall be deposited by the Company into an account owned and controlled by the Company, and upon (i) such Member no longer being in Default and (ii) if applicable, the final resolution of any dispute between the Company and such Member related to any Default, the funds held in such account shall be distributed as follows:  (A) if and to the extent applicable, on behalf of such Member to the Company to satisfy any obligations owed by such Member to the Company and (B) with respect to any funds remaining after the distribution required under subparagraph (A), to such Member.  With respect to any Default that cannot reasonably be cured by action of the defaulting Member, such Default shall not be deemed to be continuing after the defaulting Member has (i) entered into and satisfied its obligations under a binding settlement with the Company related to such Default or (ii) satisfied its obligations arising from arbitration or any judicial proceeding related to such Default.
(b)    The rights of the non-defaulting Members set forth in Section 4.2 and this Section 13.13 shall be in addition to such other rights and remedies that may exist at law, in equity or under contract on account of such Default.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Members acknowledge that an award of damages for failure to comply with Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.10 and 13.14 would not be an adequate remedy for the Members attempting to enforce such provisions, and accordingly the Members expressly authorize any such Members to bring an action against the other Members to compel the specific performance by such other Members of their obligations to comply with such provisions.

60








(c)    Except as expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or remedies otherwise available at law or in equity.  In addition, any successful Party is entitled to costs related to enforcing this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, and arbitration expenses.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE MEMBERS WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST ONE ANOTHER ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.  A PARTY MAY RECOVER FROM ANY OTHER PARTY ALL COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES INCLUDING INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE AND OTHER DAMAGES PAID OR OWED TO ANY THIRD PERSON FOR WHICH SUCH PARTY HAS A RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM SUCH OTHER PARTY.
13.14    Member Trademarks.  Neither the Company nor any Member (or its Affiliates) shall be permitted to use any trademark owned by any other Member or its Affiliates, without the express written consent of such Member or its Affiliate or as otherwise required by Law.
