**Introductory Note**

As previously reported, on June 2, 2025, Cactus Companies, LLC ("Cactus Companies"), a subsidiary of Cactus, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Framework Agreement (the "Framework Agreement") with Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("Baker Hughes Holdings") and Baker Hughes Pressure Control LLC, formerly known as Baker Hughes Pressure Control LP (the "Joint Venture"), each of which is an indirect subsidiary of Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes Company"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Baker Hughes Company's surface pressure control business. For further information regarding the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, please see the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 2, 2025.

Prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), Baker Hughes Holdings effected certain restructuring transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement (the "Restructuring Transactions"), as a result of which the Joint Venture and certain of its subsidiaries came to own the Business Assets and Business Liabilities (each as defined in the Framework Agreement). As part of the Restructuring Transactions, the Joint Venture converted from a Texas limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company.

On January 1, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), Baker Hughes Holdings and certain of its affiliates sold 65% of the limited liability company membership interests in the Joint Venture ("Membership Interests") to Cactus UK Holding Limited (the "Cactus Member"), a subsidiary of Cactus Companies, for a cash purchase price of $344,500,000 (on a debt-free, and, except as noted below, cash-free basis), subject to certain working capital, cash, debt, capital expenditure and other customary adjustments after the Closing Date (the "Purchase Price" and such transaction, the "Transaction"). The Joint Venture retained minimum cash of approximately $70,000,000 (the "Minimum Cash Amount"). In order to compensate Baker Hughes Holdings for the Minimum Cash Amount, Cactus Companies (i) paid Baker Hughes Holdings 65% of the Minimum Cash Amount, or $45,500,000, on the Closing Date, and (ii) will pay Baker Hughes Holdings 35% of the Minimum Cash Amount, or $24,500,000, as follows: $10,000,000 on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and $14,500,000 at such time as Baker Hughes Company ceases to be a member, directly or indirectly, of the Joint Venture.

The Company funded the Purchase Price using cash on hand on the Closing Date.

**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.** 

***LLC Agreement***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the Closing Date, the Joint Venture, the Cactus Member, Baker Hughes Pressure Control Holdings LLC (the "<u>Baker Member</u>"), an indirect subsidiary of Baker Hughes Company, and, for the limited purposes specified therein, the Company and Baker Hughes Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Joint Venture (the "<u>LLC Agreement</u>"). The LLC Agreement provides, among other things, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)*Exit Option*. From and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (a) the Baker Member has the right to sell to either the Joint Venture or the Cactus Member, and the Joint Venture or the Cactus Member, as applicable, shall be obligated to purchase from the Baker Member, and (b) the Cactus Member has the right to purchase or cause the Joint Venture to purchase from the Baker Member, and the Baker Member shall be obligated to sell to the Joint Venture or the Cactus Member, as applicable, all of the Membership Interests held directly or indirectly by Baker Hughes Company. The purchase price (the "<u>Exit Price</u>") will be based on an enterprise value of the Joint Venture using a multiple of six times its Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and calculated pursuant to the LLC Agreement), subject to a maximum valuation of $660,000,000, and if the Cactus Member elects to purchase or cause the Joint Venture to purchase the Membership Interests, a minimum valuation of $530,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)*Conduct of the Business and Significant Actions*. For so long as the Baker Member continues to hold Membership Interests, the Cactus Member shall, subject to certain exceptions, cause the Joint Venture to operate its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and not take any actions, the primary intent of which could reasonably be expected to reduce the Exit Price. Certain actions of the Board of Directors of the Joint Venture, including, among other things, matters relating to capital structure, incurrence of indebtedness above a certain threshold, increasing the size of the Board of Directors and the entry by the Joint Venture into a new line of business, require the affirmative vote of more than 75% of the total voting power of the Board of Directors, including, except to the extent the Baker Member is in default, at least one director appointed by the Baker Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)*Transfer Restrictions*. No member of the Joint Venture may transfer any Membership Interest other than certain permitted transfers, including but not limited to (a) certain permitted transfers to such member's wholly owned and controlled affiliates and (b) certain transfers made in connection with the exercise of the option described in paragraph (i) – *Exit Option* above.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)*Non-Compete*. The LLC Agreement includes non-compete restrictions on Baker Hughes Company and the Company with respect to (a) developing, manufacturing, distributing, marketing, renting and selling certain products and (b) providing services, including installation, maintenance, rentals, repairs and aftermarket spares related thereto, in the case of both (a) and (b) for surface pressure control applications in certain countries provided in the LLC Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing description of the LLC Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the LLC Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the Preliminary Exit Statement, the Bugatti Member may deliver written notice to the Cobra Member of any dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of the Preliminary Exit Statement, together with a reasonably detailed description of each such disputed item and reasonable supporting documentation (a "***Dispute Notice***"); *provided*, *however*, that if an Exit Notice is delivered and (i) a Cobra Accelerated Option Event has occurred, then the Exit Price shall be based on a Company Valuation equal to the Valuation Floor and the Company Valuation shall not be subject to dispute by the Bugatti Member and (ii) a Bugatti Accelerated Put Event has occurred, then the Exit Price shall be based on a Company Valuation equal to the Valuation Ceiling and the Company Valuation shall not be subject to dispute by the Cobra Member. If the Bugatti Member fails to timely deliver such Dispute Notice, then the Preliminary Exit Statement shall be deemed final and binding on the Company, the Bugatti Member and the Cobra Member for all purposes of the Exit Option. If the Bugatti Member timely delivers a Dispute Notice, then the Bugatti Member and the Cobra Member shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each such disputed item described in the Dispute Notice. Any amount, determination or calculation contained in the Preliminary Exit Statement and not disputed in a timely delivered Dispute Notice shall be irrevocably final, conclusive and binding on the Company and the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If all such disputes have not been resolved prior to the date that is thirty (30) Days following delivery of the Dispute Notice, then either the Bugatti Member or the Cobra Member may refer such remaining disputed items for resolution by Deloitte LLP (or if such Person does not agree to so serve within ten (10) Days after written request from the Bugatti Member or the Cobra Member, as applicable, to serve, then such alternative internationally recognized accounting firm as the Bugatti Member and the Cobra Member may agree and that agrees to so serve, or if the Bugatti Member and the Cobra Member are unable to agree on a Person that agrees to so serve, then any Member may request that the American Arbitration Association select such Person to so serve) (the "***Accountant***"). In connection with the engagement of the Accountant, each Member will execute such engagement, indemnity and other agreements as the Accountant and the American Arbitration Association, if applicable, may reasonably require as a condition to such engagement. The Accountant's determination shall be based solely on (i) the provisions of this <u>Section 3.8</u> and the defined terms used herein and (ii) the written submissions provided by each of the Bugatti Member and the Cobra Member to the Accountant within ten (10) Days following the Accountant's selection (and without independent investigation on the part of the Accountant). The Accountant's determination shall be limited to only those items in dispute and shall take into account any items previously agreed by the Members or deemed final by the terms of this Agreement. The Members shall instruct the Accountant to make its determination in accordance with the position of, and not be in excess of, the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by either the Bugatti Member or the

------

Cobra Member. In resolving such dispute, the Accountant will act as an expert and not an arbitrator and will resolve such dispute by selecting either the position submitted by the Bugatti Member or the position submitted by the Cobra Member, in either case, to the Accountant pursuant to this <u>Section 3.8(e)</u>. The Accountant may not award damages or penalties. Each Member will bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case to the Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Accountant and (if applicable) the American Arbitration Association incurred in resolving such disputed matters shall be paid by the Person whose position is not selected by the Accountant in accordance with this <u>Section 3.8(e)</u>. The determination of the Accountant with respect to such dispute, absent manifest clerical error or fraud, will be irrevocably final, conclusive and binding on the Members. Each Member agrees that it shall not have any right to, and shall not, institute a legal proceeding of any kind challenging such determination or relating to the matters that are the subject of this <u>Section 3.8</u>, except that the foregoing shall not preclude a legal proceeding to enforce such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Within thirty (30) Days following the final determination of the Exit Price in accordance with this <u>Section 3.8</u>, the Bugatti Member and either the Company or the Cobra Member, as applicable, shall execute and deliver a purchase and sale agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit G</u> for the purchase of the Exit Interests. The closing of the Transfer of the Exit Interests pursuant to the exercise of the Exit Option shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable following final determination of the Exit Price in accordance with this <u>Section 3.8</u> at the Company's principal office, unless the Bugatti Member and the Cobra Member otherwise agree in writing. At the closing, the Exit Price applicable to the Exit Interests to be purchased by the Company or the Cobra Member, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Bugatti Member (by wire transfer in immediately available funds) to an account specified in writing by the Bugatti Member. Upon consummation of the closing of the Transfer of the Exit Interests pursuant to the exercise of the Exit Option, the Bugatti Member shall cease to be a Member and shall have no further rights under this Agreement.

All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds. This guaranty may not be revoked or terminated and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Guarantor and its successors and assigns until the Guaranteed Obligation has been satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this guaranty shall terminate and the Guarantor shall have no further obligations under this guaranty as of the earlier of either (i) the satisfaction or waiver in full of the Guaranteed Obligation or (ii) a written agreement signed by each of the Bugatti Member and the Cobra Member terminating this limited guaranty.

If granted, such power of attorney shall survive and not be affected by the subsequent disability, incapacity, dissolution or termination of the Cobra Member or its Permitted Transferees or the Bugatti Member and its Permitted Transferees, as applicable. The Members acknowledge and agree that in the event the Cobra Member or its Permitted Transferees or the Bugatti Member or its Permitted Transferees,

For the avoidance of doubt, (A) Bugatti Member Parent's or its Affiliates' performance of their respective obligations under and in accordance with the terms of any of the Transition Services Agreement, any Baker Hughes Commercial Agreement, the Global Employee Services Agreement, the IP License Agreements, the IP Assignment Agreement, and the Trademark License Agreements (each as defined in the Framework Agreement) shall not be deemed a breach of this <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> and (B) nothing in this <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> shall prohibit or in any way limit the Bugatti Member Parent's or its Affiliates from undertaking the permitted activities set forth on <u>Schedule 3.19(a)</u>. From the Effective Date, for so long as the Bugatti Member continues to hold Membership Interests, the Cobra Member Parent will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, conduct the Business, except through the Company, in any country set forth on <u>Exhibit D</u>; *provided*, *however*, that this <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> shall in no way limit the Cobra Member's or its Affiliates' conduct of the Business (I) with respect to the Current Cobra Wellhead Customers, or (II) in respect of any country appearing on both <u>Exhibit D</u> and <u>Exhibit E</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each of the Members and the Bugatti Member Parent and the Cobra Member Parent acknowledges and agrees that the geographic scope, scope of activity restrictions, and duration of the covenants contained in this <u>Section 3.19</u> are the result of arm's-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of, among other things, (i) the nature and wide geographic scope of the Business, and the fact that the Business acquired by the Cobra Member or its Affiliate under the Framework Agreement or heretofore conducted by the Cobra Member or its Affiliates are intended to be marketed and provided throughout the geographic area that is subject to the restrictions in this <u>Section 3.19</u>; (ii) Bugatti Member Parent's and its Affiliates' level of control over and contact with the Business, and association with the Business's goodwill in all jurisdictions in which the Bugatti Member Parent and its Affiliates conduct business; (iii) Bugatti Member Parent and its Affiliates' knowledge of the confidential and proprietary information associated with the Business; (iv) the information of the Cobra Member and its Affiliates to which the Bugatti Member Parent will have access as a result of the Bugatti Member's right to appoint a Bugatti Director; and (v) the consideration that the Bugatti Member Parent and its Affiliates are directly or indirectly receiving in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, and the goodwill and confidential and proprietary information that the Bugatti Member Parent and its Affiliates are directly or indirectly conveying and for which the Cobra Member or its Affiliate have paid pursuant to the Framework Agreement. Each of the Members and the Bugatti Member Parent further acknowledges and agrees that (y) the Bugatti Member Parent benefited directly or indirectly from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, including entry into this Agreement, and (z) the restrictions set forth in this <u>Section 3.19</u> are not against public policy and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Cobra Member, have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties, and constitute a material inducement for the Cobra Member or its Affiliate to enter into the Framework Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The covenants and undertakings contained in this <u>Section 3.19</u> relate to matters that are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character, and a violation of any of the terms of this <u>Section 3.19</u> will cause irreparable injury to the Members, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at Law for any breach of this <u>Section 3.19</u> will be inadequate. Therefore, the Company and/or the non-breaching Member will be entitled to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order, or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this <u>Section 3.19</u> without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this <u>Section 3.19</u> are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Company and/or the non-breaching Member may have hereunder or at Law or in equity. It is the desire and intent of the Members and the Bugatti Member Parent and the Cobra Member Parent that the provisions of this <u>Section 3.19</u> be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; nonetheless, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any feature of this <u>Section 3.19</u> is unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, then the Members and the Bugatti Member Parent and the Cobra Member Parent intend that such restrictions shall not be thereby terminated but shall be modified by such court to the minimum extent required so as to be valid and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 3.19</u>, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or in any way limit a Member or its Affiliates (the "***Restricted Parties***") from (i) acquiring, owning or holding securities of another Member or its Affiliates, (ii) engaging in any manner in any De Minimis Business, (iii) engaging in any manner in Finance Activities, (iv) acquiring, owning or holding (as a passive investment) any publicly traded securities through any employee benefit plan; *provided*, that the Bugatti Member Parent and its Affiliates do not have the authority to direct the investment of such employee benefit plan, (v) performing any action expressly required by this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (vi) engaging in any business activity that would otherwise violate <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> that is acquired from any Independent Third Party after the Effective Date (an "***After-Acquired Business***") or is carried on by any currently Independent Third Party that is acquired by or combined with any Restricted Party after the Effective Date (an "***After-Acquired Company***"), so long as (A) the acquiring party notifies the other Member of the acquisition of the After-Acquired Business or the After-Acquired Company promptly after the consummation thereof, and (B) within twelve (12) months after the consummation of the acquisition of the After-Acquired Business or the After-Acquired Company, the applicable Restricted Party disposes of the relevant portion of the business or securities of the After-Acquired Business or the After-Acquired Company (provided that such twelve (12)-month period to consummate the disposition shall be extended by up to an additional four (4) months if, at the end of such initial twelve (12)-month period, all regulatory or other Governmental Authority approvals for such disposition have been sought but shall not have been obtained or all waiting periods imposed by applicable Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate such disposition have not expired or been terminated) or at the expiration of such twelve (12)-month period following the date on which the After-Acquired Business or the After-Acquired Company was originally acquired, the business of the After-Acquired Business or the After-Acquired Company complies with <u>Section 3.19(a)</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Parties will not be required to dispose of any assets or securities of an After-Acquired Business or After-Acquired Company if the business activity thereof that would otherwise violate <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> does not account for more than 10% of the revenues of the After-Acquired Business or After-Acquired Company (based on its latest annual financial statements prior to the consummation of such acquisition). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the Bugatti Member or its Affiliates acquires an After-Acquired Business or an After-Acquired Company, then for so long as the Bugatti Member or its Affiliates own such After-Acquired Business or After-Acquired Company and without limiting the obligations in this <u>Section 3.19(d)</u>, the Bugatti Member shall and shall cause its Affiliates to not disclose to the After-Acquired Business or After-Acquired

------

Company or their Representatives in any manner any Confidential Information in connection with the management or operation of such After-Acquired Business or After-Acquired Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)As used in <u>Section 3.19(d)</u>, (i) "***De Minimis Business***" means any passive investment in an Independent Third Party in which (A) a Member and its Affiliates collectively hold not more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding voting securities or similar equity interests or the right to receive more than ten percent (10%) of the profits in respect of such Independent Third Party, (B) the amount invested by a Member and its Affiliates collectively is less than $10 million, and (C) the Member and its Affiliates do not possess the right (through ownership of securities, contract or otherwise) to designate any members of (and do not have any representative of such Member or its Affiliates serving on) the board of directors (or similar governing body) of such Person, or to otherwise direct strategic or policy decisions of such Person, and (ii) "***Finance Activities***" means the making of, entering into, purchase of, or participation in (including syndication or servicing activities), in the ordinary course, (A) secured or unsecured loans, conditional sales agreements, debt instruments or transactions of a similar nature or for similar purposes, (B) non-voting preferred equity investments, and (C) investments as a limited partner in a partnership or as a member of a limited liability company in which another Person who is not an Affiliate is a management member and, in each case, the exercise of any rights or remedies in connection with any such activities (whether such rights or remedies arise under any agreement relating to such activity, under applicable Law or otherwise), including any foreclosure, realization or repossession or ownership of any collateral, business assets or other security for any Finance Activities (including the equity in any entity or business); *provided*, that, in each case, such transaction is entered into exclusively as a means of financing, including any financing documented in the form of loans or leases or otherwise, an Independent Third Party's purchase of any products, parts or equipment manufactured, assembled or sold (in each case, in whole or in part) by the Member or any of its Affiliates (the sale of which is not otherwise prohibited by <u>Section 3.19(a)</u>); *provided further*, that if the exercise of any such remedies results in the acquisition of an After-Acquired Business or an After-Acquired Company, then the provisions of <u>Section 3.19(d)(vi)</u> shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Without limiting <u>Section 3.13</u>, with respect to any business unit or Affiliate of a Member that it controls, <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> shall cease to be applicable with respect to such business unit or Affiliate at such time as such business unit or Affiliate is no longer a part of, or an Affiliate of, such Member, and <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> shall not apply to any Independent Third Party that purchases assets, operations or a business from such Member if such Independent Third Party is not and does not become an Affiliate or business unit or entity of the Member after such transaction is consummated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)None of the provisions of <u>Section 3.19(a)</u> shall operate to prohibit, hinder, impede or restrict from engaging in the Business in any way, any Person which by way of takeover, acquisition, merger, combination or similar transaction acquires a controlling interest in the Bugatti Member Parent or the Cobra Member Parent, as applicable; *provided*, *however*, that each of the Bugatti Member Parent and the Cobra Member Parent, as applicable, and the Affiliates that the Bugatti Member Parent and the Cobra Member Parent, as applicable, control as of the time immediately prior to the consummation of such transactions shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 3.19</u> after the consummation of any such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.20<u>Operating Covenant</u>. Following the Effective Date for so long as the Bugatti Member continues to hold Membership Interests, the Cobra Member shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and shall cause the Company and its Affiliates to (a) operate the Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (b) not take any actions, the primary intent of which could reasonably be expected to reduce the Exit Price, *provided* that nothing in this <u>Section 3.20</u> shall prohibit the Cobra Member or any of its Affiliates or the Company and its Affiliates, from taking any action reasonably necessary to respond to any Emergency Event,

------

provided that such action is materially consistent with the actions taken by other companies in similarly situated industries as the Business or as would be taken by a reasonably prudent businessperson in response thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.21<u>Cobra Support Services</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Following the Effective Date for so long as the Bugatti Member continues to hold Membership Interests, Cobra Member Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Company and its Subsidiaries to, maintain for a period of one year after the Bugatti Member no longer holds Membership Interests books and records (including charges, invoices, and allocation records) for Cobra Support Services in sufficient detail to enable an auditor (or Baker Hughes itself) to perform an evaluation and/or assessment of the Cobra Support Services, and, following delivery of the Exit Notice by either the Bugatti Member or the Cobra Member upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days' prior written notice, Cobra Member Parent and the Company shall make such books and records available for inspection for performance of such evaluation and/or assessment by an auditor appointed by Baker Hughes (or Baker Hughes itself) at Baker Hughes' sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Cobra Member delivers a Preliminary Exit Statement reflecting an Exit Price at the Valuation Ceiling during the foregoing fifteen (15) Business Days period, then the Bugatti Member shall not be entitled to exercise the rights described in this <u>Section 3.21(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if following the Effective Date any general and administrative services or functions provided by the Bugatti Member or its Affiliates under any agreement between the Bugatti Member or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are transitioned from time to time to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and not Cobra Member or its Affiliates) (such transitioned general and administrative services or functions, "***Transitioned Support Services***"), then such Transitioned Support Services shall not be deemed Cobra Support Services for purposes of determining Adjusted EBITDA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Transitioned Support Services are transitioned from the Company to the Cobra Member, then such transitioned general and administrative services or functions may be considered Cobra Support Services to the extent such services are performed by the Cobra Member or its Affiliates (and not the Company or its Subsidiaries).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Board of Directors (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require the concurrence of the Bugatti Director) may from time to time request (each, a "***Loan Request***") the Members make loans to the Company (each, a "***Member Loan***") by delivering to the Members written notice (each, a "***Loan Request Notice***") specifying (i) the purpose of such Loan Request, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Member Loan requested by such Loan Request, (iii) each Member's proportionate share (based on such Member's Percentage Interest) of the amount requested by such Loan Request, (iv) the material economic terms (including interest rate and term) and (v) the date by which the Member Loans requested by such Loan Request are to be made by the Members, which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date that such Loan Request Notice is delivered or such shorter period as may be agreed in writing in advance by such Member making such Member Loan (the "***Loan Deadline***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Member that desires to participate in full in such Loan Request (each, a "***Lending Member***") shall deliver written notice thereof to the Company no later than ten (10) Business Days following delivery of the Loan Request Notice, which notice shall constitute an irrevocable commitment by such Member to make a Member Loan equal to all, and not less than all, of such Member's proportionate share (based on such Member's Percentage Interest) of the amount requested by such Loan Request; *provided*, that failure to timely deliver such notice shall be deemed to be an irrevocable election by such Member not to make such Member Loan. If less than all of the Members elect to participate in such Loan Request, then the Lending Member may elect to fund all of the Loan Request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Following the Company's receipt of any Member Loan in connection with a Loan Request, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to amend <u>Exhibit F</u> without the consent of any Member as necessary to reflect any update to the Members' respective Member Loans resulting from such Loan Request.

If any Member loans funds to the Company, the making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Member. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Any Member Loans to the Company by the Bugatti Member shall be immediately due and payable simultaneously with the closing of the transactions contemplated by any Exit Notice delivered pursuant to <u>Section 3.8(b)</u>.

A Member is not entitled (a) to the return of any Capital Contribution 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4<u>Capital Accounts</u>.

If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the economic risk of loss. This <u>Section 5.2(b)</u> is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year or other taxable period of the Company (or if there was a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year or other taxable period of the Company and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this

Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This section is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This section is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except <u>Section 5.2(a)</u> and <u>Section 5.2(b)</u>, no Losses or other items of loss or expense shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such allocation would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) at the end of such Fiscal Year or other taxable period of the Company. All Losses and other items of loss and expense in excess of the limitation set forth in this <u>Section 5.2(e)</u> shall be allocated to the Members who do not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in proportion to their relative positive Capital Accounts but only to the extent that such Losses and other items of loss and expense do not cause any such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except <u>Section 5.2(c)</u> and <u>Section 5.2(d)</u>, in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in paragraph (4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of income and gain (consisting of a *pro rata* portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for the Fiscal Year or other taxable period of the Company) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of that Member as quickly as possible; *provided*, that an allocation pursuant to this <u>Section 5.2(f)</u> shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this <u>Article 5</u> have been tentatively made as if this <u>Section 5.2(f)</u> were not in this Agreement. This <u>Section 5.2(f)</u> is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year or other taxable period of the Company that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount that such Member is obligated to restore and (ii) the amount that the Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and (i)(5), that Member shall be specially allocated items of Company

------

income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; *provided*, that an allocation pursuant to this <u>Section 5.2(g)</u> shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this <u>Article 5</u> have been made as if <u>Section 5.2(f)</u> and this <u>Section 5.2(g)</u> were not in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)To the extent an adjustment to the Adjusted Basis of any Company Asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to any Member in complete liquidation of such Member's Membership Interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the Asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the Asset) and such item of gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) if such section applies or to the Member to whom such distribution was made if Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Article 5</u> (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations (and anticipated future 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 allocation of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member should be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. This <u>Section 5.2(i)</u> is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)Creditable Non-U.S. Taxes for any taxable period attributable to the Partnership, or an entity owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership, shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to the partners' distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code) to which the Creditable Non-U.S. Tax relates (under principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.904-6).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Except as otherwise provided in this <u>Section 5.3</u>, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such item is allocated under <u>Section 5.1</u> and <u>Section 5.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (including the Treasury Regulations applying the principles of Code Section 704(c) to changes in Gross Asset Values), items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company property having a Gross Asset Value that differs from such property's Adjusted Basis shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members to account for any such difference using the "remedial" method as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Any (i) recapture of Depreciation or any other item of deduction shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1254-5, to the

------

Members who received the benefit of such deductions to the extent possible, and (ii) recapture of credits shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Allocations pursuant to this <u>Section 5.3</u> are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing any Member's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If, as a result of an exercise of a noncompensatory option to acquire an interest in the Company, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(*s*)(3), the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this <u>Article 5</u> and the economic impact of the allocations on the amounts receivable by them under this Agreement. The Members hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this <u>Article 5</u> in reporting their share of Company income and loss for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes.

If the Board of Directors determines that the application of the provisions in <u>Section 4.4</u>, <u>Section 5.1</u>, <u>Section 5.2</u> or <u>Section 5.3</u> would result in non-compliance with the Treasury Regulations or would be inconsistent with the intended economic entitlement of the Members, the Board of Directors is authorized to make any appropriate adjustments to such provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to an interest in the Company that may have been Transferred shall be allocated between the Member undertaking such Transfer and the Transferee based on the portion of the Fiscal Year or other taxable period of the Company during which each was recognized as the owner of such interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, without regard to the results of Company operations during any particular portion of that Fiscal Year or other taxable period of the Company and without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the Member undertaking such Transfer or the Transferee during that year; *provided*, *however,* that this allocation must be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Members' proportionate shares of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Company, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated to the Members on a *pro rata* basis, in accordance with the Percentage Interests of each Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5<u>Distributions</u>.

Subject to the provisions of Section 18-607 of the Act and <u>Section 3.17(a)(ii)</u>, any other distributions attributable to the Membership Interests made in cash (to the extent not addressed in the immediately preceding sentence) or property of the Company shall be made to

------

the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest by approval of the Board of Directors pursuant to <u>Section 6.13(n)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6<u>Tax Methods and Elections</u>. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this <u>Article 5</u> or in this Agreement, and unless required by applicable Law, prior to the Board of Directors (or, where applicable, the Company Representative) (i) selecting or modifying a method(s) or (ii) making, modifying or revoking an election of the Company related to taxes that is not specifically provided for in this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall obtain the prior written consent of the Bugatti Member, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such method or election to be selected, made, modified, or revoked will materially change or affect the relative economic interest of the Members.

With respect to any action taken or decision or determination made by any Director or the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), it shall be presumed that each Director and the Board of Directors (or such committee thereof) acted in good faith and in compliance with this Agreement and any Person bringing, pleading or prosecuting any claim with respect to any action taken or decision or determination made by the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption by clear and convincing evidence; *provided*, that for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall not be deemed to increase or place any duty (including any fiduciary duty) on the Board of Directors or its Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.11<u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)To the fullest extent permitted by Law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, the Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all Liabilities arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, joint or several, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or

------

otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee (in the Indemnitee's capacity as such) and with respect to events occurring after the Effective Date; *provided*, *however*, with respect to any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of *nolo contendere*, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification pursuant to this <u>Section 6.11(a)</u> shall be made only out of the Assets, it being agreed that no Member or any of its Affiliates, in their respective capacities as such, shall, in any event, be personally liable for such indemnification nor shall it or they have any obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable the Company to effectuate such indemnification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Company and the Members hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) an Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by Persons other than the Company (collectively, the "***Other Indemnitors***"), and (ii) the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort (*i.e.*, the Company's obligations to any Indemnitee hereunder are primary and any obligation of any Other Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same Liabilities incurred by such Indemnitee shall be secondary to the Company). The indemnification provided by <u>Section 6.11(a)</u> shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators of such Indemnitee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To the fullest extent permitted by Law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to <u>Section 6.11(a)</u> in defending any claim, demand, action, suit, or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this <u>Section 6.11</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Officers and Directors and on behalf of such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against any Liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company's activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such Liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part contemplated under this <u>Section 6.11</u> because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The provisions of this <u>Section 6.11</u> are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)No amendment, modification, or repeal of this <u>Section 6.11</u> or any provision hereof or defined term used herein shall in any manner terminate, reduce, or impair the right of any past, present, or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligation of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 6.11</u> as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.7<u>Company Representative</u>. The Cobra Member is specially authorized and appointed to act as the Company Representative, and in any similar capacity under state or local Law, and to designate a "designated individual" in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.6223-1(b)(3). The Company Representative and designated individual may retain, at the Company's expense, such outside counsel, accountants and other professional consultants as it may reasonably deem necessary in the course of fulfilling its obligations as Company Representative, including (i) whether to commence or settle any judicial or administrative proceeding with respect to any Company tax return, (ii) settle any audit or agree to a notice of final partnership adjustment with respect to any Company tax return with a taxing authority concerning the adjustment of any Company item and (iii) enter into any agreement with a taxing authority to extend the period for assessing any U.S. federal income tax that is attributable to any item that may be the subject of an audit of a U.S. federal income tax return of the Company. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Company Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Company Representative with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. The Company Representative and the designated individual, individually or on behalf of the Company Representative, may (but shall not be required to): (i) make the election provided by Section 6221(b) of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules to have Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code not apply and (ii) make the so-called "push out" election provided in Section 6226 of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules with respect to an "imputed underpayment" described in Section 6225(b) of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules. The Members shall cooperate in good faith in order to minimize the financial burden on the Company of any imputed underpayment under Section 6225 of the Code (or any successor provision), including cooperating with the Company Representative's election and/or the furnishing of statements pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code or through the adoption of the procedure established by Section 6225(c) of the Code (or any successor provision) (including for example, a "push out" election as provided in Section 6226 of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules with respect to an "imputed underpayment" described in Section 6225(b) of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules). In acting as Company Representative, the Cobra Member shall act, to the maximum extent possible, to cause income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company, and adjustments thereto, to be allocated or borne by the Members in the same manner as such items or adjustments would have been borne if the Company could have effectively made an election under Section 6221(b) of the Code or similar state or local provision with respect to the taxable period at issue. The Company Representative shall keep the Bugatti Member (and its designated advisors) reasonably informed of any material audit or administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the tax matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.8<u>Withholding Tax Payments and Obligations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Company and its Subsidiaries may withhold from distributions, allocations or portions thereof if it is required to do so by any applicable Law, and each Member hereby authorizes the Company and its Subsidiaries to withhold or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of taxes that the Company Representative determines, in good faith, that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To the extent that any tax is paid by (or withheld from amounts payable to) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Company Representative determines, in good faith, that such tax relates to one or more specific Members (including any tax payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code with respect to items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit allocable or attributable to such Member), such tax shall be treated as an amount of taxes withheld or paid with respect to such Member pursuant to this <u>Section 8.8</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If any proceeds paid to the Company are reduced on account of taxes withheld at the source, and such taxes are imposed on or with respect to one or more Members, then the amount of the reduction shall be borne by the relevant Members and treated as if such amount was paid by the Company with respect to such Member(s) pursuant to this <u>Section 8.8</u>. If any proceeds paid to the Company are reduced on account of taxes withheld at the source, and such taxes are imposed on the Company without regard to a Member's interest in the Company (such as an unincorporated business tax, excise tax or sales tax, provided that in no case shall any tax payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code, withholding taxes or other method of collecting taxes indirectly from Members of the Company in respect of a Member's allocable share of Company income be treated as an expense of the Company), then the amount of the reduction shall be treated as an expense of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For all purposes under this Agreement, any amounts withheld or paid with respect to a Member pursuant to this <u>Section 8.8</u> shall be treated as if distributed to such Member at the time such withholding or payment is made. If it is reasonably anticipated that, at the due date of the Company's withholding obligation, the cumulative amount of such withholding or payment for any period will exceed the distributions to which such Member is entitled for such period, then the Member with respect to which the withholding obligation applies shall pay to the Company the amount of such excess within thirty (30) Days after notice by the Company. If a Member fails to make the required payment when due hereunder, and the Company nevertheless pays the withholding, in addition to the Company's remedies for breach of this Agreement, such amount shall be considered a recourse loan from the Company to such Member, with interest accruing at the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually. The Company Representative may, in its discretion, either (i) demand payment of the principal and accrued interest on such demand loan at any time (which payment shall not be deemed a Capital Contribution for purposes of this Agreement), and enforce payment thereof by legal process, or (ii) withhold from one or more distributions to a Member amounts sufficient to satisfy such Member's obligations under any such demand loan, which payments or distributions shall be applied first to interest and then to principal until such loan is repaid in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Neither the Company nor the Company Representative shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Member, and, in the event of overwithholding, a Member's sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Governmental Authority. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other Members, the Company Representative from and against any Liability for taxes with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) any Person who ceases to be a Member shall be treated as a Member for purposes of this <u>Section 8.8</u> and (ii) the obligations of a Member pursuant to this <u>Section 8.8</u> shall survive indefinitely with respect to any taxes withheld or paid by the Company that relate to the taxable period of the Company during which such Person was actually a Member, regardless of whether such taxes are assessed, withheld or otherwise paid during such period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.9<u>Unitary/Combined Tax Reporting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In the event the Company does not file its own tax report for any state tax purposes, but instead is part of an affiliated group engaged in a unitary business that files a combined group report (a "***Unitary/Combined Tax Report***"), the methodology set forth in this <u>Section 8.9</u> shall be used to determine the amount of reimbursement due to the applicable Member (the "***Combined Reporting Member***") as a result of having to include the Company in the Unitary/Combined Tax Report of such Member (or an Affiliate of such Member). Any Member that is not a Combined Reporting Member shall be referred to as a "***Reimbursing Member***."

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For each privilege or taxable period, the Combined Reporting Member will compute (i) such Combined Reporting Member's actual unitary tax Liability ("***Actual Unitary Tax Liability***"), (ii) such Combined Reporting Member's hypothetical unitary state tax Liability excluding any tax Liability arising from such Combined Reporting Member's ownership of the Company ("***Stand-Alone Tax Liability***"), and (iii) difference between the Actual Unitary Tax Liability and the Stand-Alone Tax Liability ("***Resulting Tax Liability***"). The Actual Unitary Tax Liability, Stand-Alone Tax Liability, and Resulting Tax Liability (along with any supporting work papers) will be provided to the Reimbursing Member for review at least thirty (30) Days prior to the due date of the Unitary/Combined Tax Report of the Combined Reporting Member (or its Affiliate) related to the applicable period. The Reimbursing Member shall have ten (10) Days to review the Resulting Tax Liability and provide any comments to the Combined Reporting Member. If the Members cannot agree on the Resulting Tax Liability, the Members shall engage the Accountant to determine the Resulting Tax Liability. Subject to <u>Section 8.9(d)</u>, the determination of the Accountant shall be considered final and binding on the Members as the Resulting Tax Liability for purposes of determining reimbursement under this <u>Section 8.9</u>. All costs associated with the Accountant shall be borne by the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest. The Reimbursing Members shall bear the Resulting Tax Liability based on their respective Percentage Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Within five (5) Days of any tax payment (including estimated tax payments) by the Combined Reporting Member (or its Affiliate) with respect to a Unitary/Combined Tax Report, each Reimbursing Member shall reimburse the Combined Reporting Member for its share of the Resulting Tax Liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In the event of any tax audit adjustments impacting the calculation of the Resulting Tax Liability for any privilege or taxable period, the Resulting Tax Liability for any such period shall be redetermined by the Combined Reporting Member and any prior reimbursement under <u>Section 8.9(c)</u> shall be adjusted consistent with such redetermination (the "***Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability***"). The Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability (along with any supporting work papers) will be provided to the Reimbursing Member for review within thirty (30) Days following the final settlement of the applicable audit. The Reimbursing Member shall have ten (10) Days to review the Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability and provide any comments to the Combined Reporting Member. If the Members cannot agree on the Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability, the Members shall engage the Accountant to determine the Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability. The determination of the Accountant shall be considered final and binding on the Members as the Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability for purposes of determining any reimbursement adjustments under this <u>Section 8.9(d)</u>. All costs associated with the Accountant shall be borne by the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest. Any payments due by the Reimbursing Member to the Combined Reporting Member (or vice-versa) as a result of the determination of the Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability shall be made within thirty (30) Days following the final determination of the Adjusted Resulting Tax Liability. The Company shall have a right of set-off against distributions to any Member for amounts to be paid or indemnified pursuant to this <u>Section 8.9(d)</u> (or otherwise pursuant to this <u>Section 8.9</u>), and any amount so withheld shall be treated as an amount distributed to such Member for all purposes under this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)the occurrence of any event which requires dissolution of a limited liability company under the Act, except that the Company shall not be dissolved pursuant to this <u>Section 9.1(c)</u> if, within ninety (90) Days after the occurrence of such event, the last remaining Member consents to the continuation of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2<u>Liquidation and Termination</u>. Subject to <u>Section 9.2(d)</u>, upon dissolution of the Company, the Cobra Member (unless another Person is selected by the Board of Directors) shall act as a liquidator ("***Liquidator***"). The Liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the Liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties for a reasonable period of time to allow for the sale of all or a part of the Assets with all of the power and authority of the Members. The steps to be accomplished by the Liquidator are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made of the Company's assets, liabilities, and operations through the last Day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the Liquidator shall cause any notices required by Law to be given to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described by such Law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator shall either sell the Assets at the best price available, or the Liquidator may distribute to the Members all or any portion of the Assets in kind. The property of the Company shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. The Liquidator may sell any or all Company property, including to one or more of the Members; *provided*, *however*, that any such sale to a Member must be made on an arm's length basis under terms which are in the best interest of the Company. If any Assets are sold or otherwise liquidated for value, the Liquidator shall proceed as promptly as practicable in a commercially reasonable manner to implement the procedures of this <u>Section 9.2(c)</u>; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Act (especially Section 18-803), the Liquidator shall distribute the Assets in the following order:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)all remaining Assets shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with <u>Section 5.5</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The distribution to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 9.2</u> constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its share of all the Company's property.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3<u>Provision for Contingent Claims</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Liquidator shall make a reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured claims and obligations, actually known to the Company but for which the identity of the claimant is unknown; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If there are insufficient assets to both pay the creditors pursuant to <u>Section 9.2</u> and establish the provision contemplated by <u>Section 9.3(a)</u>, the claims shall be paid as provided for in accordance to their priority, and, among claims of equal priority, ratably to the extent of assets therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4<u>Deficit Capital Accounts</u>. No Member shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account at any time (including upon liquidation of the Company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5<u>Deemed Contribution and Distribution</u>. In the event the Company is "liquidated" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Company's property shall not be liquidated, the Company's liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company's affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed all Company property and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in such new partnership and, immediately thereafter, the Company will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new partnership to the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6<u>Certificate of Cancellation</u>. On completion of such final distribution, the Liquidator shall file a Certificate of Cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to <u>Section 2.6</u>, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8<u>Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue</u>. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue of the Texas Business Court located in Houston, Texas (or, if the Texas Business Courts are unavailable or lack jurisdiction, then the federal courts located in the Southern District of Texas or, if the federal courts located in the Southern District of Texas lack jurisdiction, then the state courts located in Harris County, Texas), with respect to any Action to enforce a party's rights or remedies available under <u>Section 10.10</u> or <u>Section 3.19</u>, and each of the parties hereto expressly consents and submits to and agrees that venue is proper in said courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby expressly waives any and all personal rights under applicable Law or in equity to object to the jurisdiction and venue of said courts, including the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court. Each party hereto hereby authorizes and agrees to accept service of process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this <u>Section 10.8</u> by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to its address for the giving of notices as set forth in this Agreement.

Each party hereto acknowledges that it shall be inadequate or impossible, or both, to measure in money the damage to the Company and the Members, if any party hereto (or any of its successors or permitted assigns) fails to comply with any of the

------

restrictions or obligations imposed by this Agreement, and that in the event of any such failure, the Company and the Members shall not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, each party hereto consents to allow the other parties to seek an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against such party at the suit of an aggrieved party without the posting of any bond or other security, to compel specific performance of all of the terms of this Agreement, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, waives any defenses thereto, including the defenses of: (a) failure of consideration; (b) breach of any other provision of this Agreement; (c) availability of relief in damages; (d) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law will be adequate; and (e) any requirement under any Law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.11<u>No Right to Action for Dissolution or Partition</u>. To the greatest extent permitted by Law, no Member has any right to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.
