    5.           Capital Accounts.

     

    5.01       Capital Contributions/Member
Loans.

     

    (A)           In
consideration for its Membership Interest, each of the Members is making on the
date of this Agreement, initial Capital Contributions in the amounts set forth
on Schedule A
to this Agreement (the “Initial
Capital Contributions”).

     

    (B)           Additional
Required Capital.

     

    (i)   
        In addition to the Initial
Capital Contributions set forth above, each Member agrees to make additional
capital contributions to the Company from time to time, provided that (1) the
Members shall have previously Consented to the amount of such additional capital
contributions (whether pursuant to the Operating Budget approved pursuant to the
terms hereof, by Consenting to a new Operating Budget or otherwise) or (2) if
the Board of Managers unanimously determines that the Company requires funding
from its Members for payments to be made by the Company, and sufficient reserves
therefor and Cash Available for Distribution are not available (the amount of
any such deficiency being hereinafter referred to as a “Cash Shortfall”, and the
amount of any additional capital contribution required to be made pursuant to
the foregoing referred to as an “Additional Capital
Contribution”).  In the case of an Additional Capital
Contribution described in clause (2) above, each Member shall contribute
capital, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the applicable Cash
Shortfall, in accordance with their respective Percentages of Company Interest
except to the extent that the Board of Managers elects to cause the Company to
borrow additional funds in lieu of such Additional Capital
Contribution.  The Board of Managers shall provide each Member with
written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date (the “Additional Contributions Due
Date”) such Additional Capital Contributions are to be made; provided, however, that
Additional Capital Contributions paid prior to the Additional Contributions Date
shall be deemed to be made on the relevant Additional Contributions Due
Date.

    (ii)           In
the event that any Member (a “Non-Contributing Member”) does
not contribute its full Additional Capital Contribution by the Additional
Contributions Due Date, then any other Member which is not a Non-Contributing
Member (a “Contributing
Member”) shall have, in addition to all remedies provided by law or
equity, the right to: (1) declare due and payable all or any portion of the
unpaid balance of the Additional Capital Contribution of the Non-Contributing
Member and to sue, or cause the Company to sue, such Non-Contributing Member for
the amount due and payable (together with interest thereon from the date such
installment was due, at the Member Loan Rate (as defined below)); (2) make a
loan to the Company (a “Member
Loan”) for an amount up to an amount equal to (x) the aggregate required
Additional Capital Contribution, less (y) the amount of the
Additional Capital Contribution actually contributed to the Company by the
Non-Contributing Member and a corresponding amount of the Additional Capital
Contribution actually contributed to the Company by the Contributing Member; (3)
cause the Board of Managers to reduce the required Additional Capital
Contribution amount from each Member to the amount equal to the sum of the
Additional Capital Contributions actually received by the Company from the
Non-Contributing Member, and return the excess contributed by the Contributing
Member to the Contributing Member; or (4) if the Non-Contributing Member has not
contributed any part of its required Additional Capital Contribution, cause the
Board of Managers to return any payment of the Additional Capital Contribution
made by the Contributing Member, to such Contributing Member.  For
purposes of this Section 5.01(B)(ii),
any single Member which is not a Non-Contributing Member shall have the right
and power under this Agreement to unilaterally cause the Company to sue a
Non-Contributing Member, without the consent of any other Member.  In
no event shall any Member be entitled to make any Capital Contribution in excess
of the Capital Contributions received from other Members.

     

    (iii)           In
the event that a Member Loan is made by a Contributing Member, the Company shall
use the first distributions otherwise payable or distributable to the Members
pursuant to Section
6 hereof to repay any such Member Loan, which distributions shall be used
first to pay any and all accrued and unpaid interest due under such Member Loan
on a pro rata basis based on
the amount of interest owing on all Member Loans to the Company, then to repay
the principal balances outstanding thereunder pro rata as to all Member
Loans made to the Company in accordance with the amount of principal due to each
Member making such Member Loans.  Such Member Loans shall bear
interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) twenty-five percent (25%) per
annum and (b) the highest annual interest rate permitted under applicable law
(the “Member Loan
Rate”).

     

    (C)           Except
as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall be required, under
any circumstance, to make a Member Loan or contribute to the capital of the
Company any amount beyond the sum which the Member has already contributed to
the Company as described in Section 5.01(A) of
this Agreement and the amount to be contributed in Section 5.01(B) of
this Agreement.  No Member shall be required or permitted to make any
loans to the Company (other than such loans described in this Section 5.01, and

Member Loans or Capital Contributions made by any Member to the Company shall
increase or decrease any Member’s Membership Interest.

     

    5.02       No Third Party
Beneficiaries.  The provisions of this Agreement are not
intended to be for the benefit of any creditor of the Company or other Person
(other than a Member in its capacity as a Member) to whom any debts, liabilities
or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has any claim against) the Company
or any of the Members; and no such creditor of the Company or other Person shall
obtain any right under any such foregoing provision against the Company or any
of the Members by reason of any debt, liability or obligation (or
otherwise).

     

    5.03       Return of Capital
Account.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, (i) no Member shall have any right to withdraw its Capital
Contributions or Capital Account, or to demand and receive property other than
cash from the Company in return for its Capital Contributions or Capital
Account, (ii) no Member shall have any priority over any other Members as to the
return of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account, and (iii) any return of
Capital Contributions or Capital Accounts to the Members shall be solely from
the Company Property, and no Member shall be personally liable for any such
return.

     

    5.04       Limited
Liability.  No Member shall be liable for losses, costs,
expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Company in excess of its Capital
Contribution required under this Agreement.

hereto.

     

    6.02       Distributions.  Each
distribution of Cash Available for Distribution shall be made in such amounts as
the Board of Managers shall determine, and shall be distributed to the Members
in accordance with their then respective Percentage of Company Interest (except
that no distributions shall be made hereunder until all Member Loans, including
interest thereon, as set forth in Section 5.01(B), and
any loans deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 7.07(B), have
been paid in full).

     

    6.03       Transfers During Fiscal
Year.  In the event of a transfer of all or any part of a
Membership Interest (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) during
a Fiscal Year, the share of income, profits, gains, losses, deductions and
credits attributable to such Membership Interest shall be allocated among the
holders of the transferred Membership Interest based on the actual attributions
to such Membership Interest for any whole months that each such holder was
recognized as the owner of the Membership Interest.  For any partial
month, the share of income, profits, gains, losses, deductions and credits
attributable to such Interest shall be allocated among the holders of the
transferred Membership Interest in proportion to the number of days that each
such holder was recognized as the owner of the Membership Interest during such
partial month without regard to the results of Company operations during the
period of such partial month in which each such holder was recognized as the
owner of such Membership Interest, and without regard to the date, amount or
recipient of any distributions which may have been made with respect to such
Membership Interest during such partial month.

    6.04       Allocation of

    6.05       Taxes
Withheld.  For purposes of this Agreement, any amount of taxes
required by the Code or by any state or other taxing authority to be withheld by
the Company with respect to any amount distributable by the Company to any
Member shall, upon payment to the IRS or to any such state or other taxing
authority, be deemed to be a distribution of such payment to such Member and
shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to this
Agreement.

     

    7.           Management.

     

    This
Article 7 is
intended to address the management of the business affairs of the
Company.

     

    7.01       Management and Control of
Company Business.

     

    (A)           Except
as specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be
managed by a Board of Managers (the “Board of
Managers”).  The Board of Managers shall be comprised of six
individual managers, three (3) designated by Babcock (each, a “Babcock Manager” and
collectively, the “Babcock
Managers”), and three (3) designated by TEPS (each, a “TEPS Manager”, and collective,
the “TEPS Managers”, and
together with the Babcock Managers, the “Managers”).  Any
Manager may be removed from the Board of Managers, whether with or without
cause, only by the Member that appointed him or her.  In the event of
a vacancy in a Babcock Manager’s position for any reason (including, without
limitation, a Babcock Manager’s resignation or removal), such vacancy shall be
filled by the designation of a successor Manager by Babcock.  In the
event of a vacancy in a TEPS Manager’s position for any reason (including,
without limitation, a TEPS Manager’s resignation or removal), such vacancy shall
be filled by the designation of a successor Manager by TEPS.  Subject
to the right of a Member to unilaterally cause the Company to sue a
Non-Contributing Member as set forth in Section 5.01(B)(ii),
any action to be taken by the Board of Managers shall be taken by the unanimous
vote of the Managers present and voting at a meeting at which a quorum is
present.  The Board of Managers shall meet from time at the request of
any one member of the Board of Managers, but at least once every
quarter.  Any member of the Board of Managers calling a meeting shall
give each other member of the Board of Managers Notice of the purpose of such
proposed meeting not less than two (2) Business Days nor more than sixty (60)
days before the meeting.  Meetings shall be held at a reasonable time
and place selected by the Board of Managers.  Meetings of the Board of
Managers may be held in person or by teleconference where each party is able to
hear and participate.  At any meeting of the Board of Managers, the
presence of at least one Babcock Manager and at least one TEPS Manager shall be
necessary to constitute a quorum.  Any action that may be taken at a
meeting of the Board of Managers may be taken without a meeting if all of the
Managers consent thereto in writing.  As of the date hereof, Babcock
has appointed James Wood, William J. Ferguson, Jr. and Eric Balles as the
initial Babcock Managers to serve until his or her removal or resignation as a
Babcock Manager.  As of the date hereof, TEPS has appointed Dennis C.
Cossey, Alexander G. Fassbender and Shawn R. Hughes as the initial TEPS Managers
to serve until his or her removal or resignation as a TEPS Manager.

    (B)           The
Board of Managers shall be responsible for approving and adopting the Business
Plan and the Operating Budget, including any updates or modifications thereto
implemented in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Within
three (3) months after the date of this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall
adopt (i) an initial Business Plan, and (ii) an initial Operating
Budget.  The Board of Managers may update or amend the Business Plan
and Operating Budget from time to time as the need arises; provided, however, that it will
update such documents no less than annually.

     

    (C)           The
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall be responsible for
managing the day-to-day affairs of the Company with respect to all matters,
subject to the general supervision of the Board of Managers and subject to any
consent of the Board of Managers required under the terms of this
Agreement.  The consent of the Board of Managers shall be obtained
prior to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or any
Officer, acting upon the delegated authority of the President and Chief
Executive Officer, causing the Company to take action with respect to the
following matters (individually, a “Major Decision”, and collectively,
the “Major Decisions”):

Operating Budget.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Board
of Managers’ consent to an expenditure payable by the Company to a third party
exceeding the amount specified for such expenditure in any Operating Budget
shall not be required in any of the following circumstances: (i) the President
and Chief Executive Officer, in his or her reasonable judgment, deems there to
be an emergency requiring such expenditures to effectuate immediate action
necessary for the protection of the Company Property or Persons; (ii) such
expenditure would not (A) cause the line item (other than Variable Expense
Modifications) in the applicable Operating Budget to which such expenditure
relates to exceed 115% of the budgeted amount of such line item in such
Operating Budget (taking into account the amounts expended to date and
reasonably anticipated expenses in connection with such line item), or (B) cause
the aggregate amount of the expenses (other than Variable Expense Modifications
and excluding the expenses described in clause (iii) below) within such
Operating Budget to exceed 110% of the entire amount of budgeted expenses (other
than Variable Expense Modifications and excluding the expenses described in
clause (iii) below) in such Operating Budget (taking into account the amounts
expended to date and reasonably anticipated expenses); or (iii) expenditures for
real property taxes and assessments, utilities and insurance for the Company and
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  Expenditures
described in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not be deemed material
deviations from the Operating Budget.  To the extent that an
expenditure in a particular line item will directly result in a savings under
another line item, the amount of such line item under which such expenditure is
made shall be deemed to be increased by the amount of such savings and the
amount of such line item under which the savings shall occur shall be deemed to
be decreased by the amount of such savings.  The Board of Managers
shall promptly notify the Members of each expenditure made pursuant to this
subsection (xxvi) and shall promptly supply the Members with such information
with respect thereto as Members may reasonably
request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments, reimbursements
or other compensation to any Officer or any Affiliate thereof shall be strictly
in accordance with the applicable Operating Budget, unless otherwise approved by
the Board of Managers or made pursuant to an agreement made in accordance with
the provisions hereof.

Reimbursement of Expenses.

     

    (A)           No
Manager or Officer of the Company, and no Member shall be paid any salary, fee

or a member of any Member’s family, or an officer, director, shareholder,
partner or employee of any Member, is employed by, or is directly interested in
or connected with any Person employed by the Company to render or perform any
service, or from whom or which the Company may buy merchandise or other
property, shall not prohibit the Company from so dealing with such Person, so
long as the costs, expenses, fees or other payment or compensation for, and the
terms of any agreement (including any amendments thereto) relating to, such
services, merchandise or property are reasonable, on arms’ length terms and at
competitive rates or have otherwise been approved by the
Members.  Each Member shall use its best efforts to apprise the other
Members of dealings between the Company (whether acting directly or through an

Omissions.

     

    (A)           No
Manager or Officer of the Company, and no Member, or any officers, directors,
employees and agents of any Member (together, the “Indemnified Parties”), shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or any of the
Members for any act or omission performed or omitted in good faith on behalf of
the Company which any Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be within the
scope of the authority granted by this Agreement and in the best interests of
the Company, provided that such
act or omission is in good faith and with such care as an ordinarily prudent
person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.  The
Indemnified Parties shall nevertheless be liable, responsible or accountable for
actual fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

     

    (B)           Subject
to Section
7.07(D) below, the Company shall indemnify and make advances for expenses
to the Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted under the Act (to the
extent of available assets, but without the requirement that any Member make
additional Capital Contributions or Member Loans for this purpose) against any
loss or damage incurred by the Indemnified Parties by reason of any act or
omission performed or omitted by any Indemnified Party which is consistent with
the first sentence of Section 7.07(A)
above.  To the extent the liquid assets of the Company are
insufficient to satisfy the indemnification obligation of the Company to any
Member under this Section 7.07(B) at
the time such Member incurs any loss or damage described in this Section 7.07(B) (the
“Shortfall”), such
Member shall be treated as having made a loan to the Company in the amount of
the Shortfall (which loan shall be repaid, with interest at the rate equal to
the lower of (x) twenty-five percent (25%) per annum or (y) the highest annual
interest rate permitted under applicable law, until paid, prior to the
distribution of Cash Available for Distribution under Section
6.02.)

    (C)           Each
Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other Members and
their respective Affiliates against any damage or loss incurred by the Company
and/or such Members and/or their respective Affiliates by reason of such
Member’s fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct with respect to the
Company and/or any Company Property.  In addition, concurrently with
the execution of this Agreement, each Member shall cause its Member Parent to
deliver to each other Member and to the Company a written agreement,
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 7 hereto,
whereby such Member Parent agrees to the indemnification obligations set forth
in this Section
7.07(C) with respect to the applicable Member.

     

    (D)           Each
Member acknowledges that the assets of the Company available to satisfy the
indemnity of the Company set forth in Section 7.07(B) shall
be limited to the Company Property.

     

    7.08        Response
Time.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, the Members shall provide all approvals, disapprovals, Consents and
other information and cooperation required in this Agreement or otherwise
requested from time to time within five (5) business days after receipt of
written request therefor.  Such written request shall state the date
by which the Member must respond, and a statement that a failure to respond by
such date will result in a deemed approval of the request.

    No Member
may Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest (directly or
indirectly, including via a transfer of direct or indirect interests in a
Member) to any Person, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (as
hereinafter defined), without the Consent of Babcock and TEPS, which consent may

Member.

     

    (A)         A

if, and only if, the following conditions are satisfied:

     

    (i)           The
admission of such Person (a) shall have been consented to by the Board of
Managers, or (b) the Person shall have received its interest in a Permitted
Transfer and provided all relevant evidence of such fact to the Board of
Managers;

the admission of such Person as a Member;

assignor and assignee shall pay all costs and fees incurred by the Company to
effect the transfer and substitution;

     

    (iv)           Such

        24

Person shall be considered a Member, and the Company, each Member and any other
Persons having business with the Company need deal only with the Members so
named or so admitted and shall not be required to deal with any other Person by

    10.03      
Permitted
Transfers.

     

    For
purposes of this Article 10, the term
“Permitted Transfer”

follows: with respect to Babcock, any Transfer of a Membership Interest to any
Person Controlled by Babcock Power Inc., a Delaware corporation; and with
respect to TEPS, any Transfer of a Membership Interest to any Person Controlled

Transfer shall be expressly conditioned upon obtaining an agreement that if, at
any time after such Transfer,  the transferee ceases to be Controlled
by Babcock Power Inc. (in the case of a Transfer by Babcock) or by ThermoEnergy
Corporation (in the case of a Transfer by TEPS), then such transferee shall
immediately Transfer such Membership Interest to a Person Controlled by Babcock
Power, Inc. or ThermoEnergy Corporation (as the case may be).  In the
event of a Permitted Transfer by a Member, the Member to whom such Permitted
Transfer relates shall promptly provide evidence of compliance with Article 10 to the
Board of Managers.

     

    10.04     
Effect of Bankruptcy
or Dissolution of a Member.  The dissolution or adjudication of
bankruptcy of a Member shall not dissolve the Company.  Each of the
parties hereto agrees that any Transfer of a Member’s interest in the
adjudication of a bankruptcy of such Member shall be (i) subject to the consent
requirement in Section
10.01 and (ii) to the extent that the consent requirement in Section 10.01 is
unenforceable, subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 11.02 as if
the bankrupt Member were a Disposing Member, to the extent permitted by
law.

     

    10.05      
Additional
Restrictions on Transfer.

     

    No
Transfer of a Membership Interest by a Member (or by any Person owning any
interest, directly or indirectly, in a Member) shall be a Permitted Transfer if
such disposition would (i) cause the Company to be treated as an association
taxable as a corporation (rather than a partnership) or as a publicly traded
partnership for federal income tax purposes; (ii) violate the provisions of any
federal or state securities laws; (iii) violate the terms of any law, rule or
regulation binding on the Company; (iv) result in the termination of the Company
under Section 708(b) of the Code; or (v) contravene any provision of, or trigger
consent rights under, any other agreement of the Company (including without
limitation any loan document or license agreement), unless consent is actually
obtained, at the sole cost of the Member or Person seeking to Transfer, and such
Transfer does not cause the Company to incur any costs or be in breach of any
agreement, and does not render any agreement to which the Company is a party to
be rendered terminable or be otherwise negatively affected.

    10.06   
Good Faith
Cooperation.  If any third party consent is necessary to
satisfy any requirement of this Article 10, the
Members agree to cooperate in good faith in order to obtain such
consent.

     

    11.     
   Withdrawal of
Members; Right of First Refusal.

     

    11.01      Withdrawal of
Members.

     

    (A)           A
Member (the “Withdrawing
Member”) may withdraw from the Company if an agreed upon milestone (a
“Milestone”), as
approved by the Board of Managers on the date hereof and as amended and/or
modified from time to time by the Board of Managers, is not met, unless the
failure to meet the Milestone is primarily attributable to the failure of such
Member to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Related
Agreements.

     

    (B)           A
Member who intends to withdraw from the Company shall have three (3) months from
the date on which a Milestone is not met to give each other Member at least 30
days prior written notice of its intent to withdraw from the Company (a “Withdrawal
Notice”).  Upon withdrawal from the Company, the Withdrawing
Member shall be entitled to receive a distribution of its Capital Account
balance, subject to prior satisfaction of any outstanding Member Loans and any
other obligations of the Company.  The Company shall also grant a
perpetual, non-exclusive royalty-free license to the Withdrawing Member with
respect to all Company Intellectual Property owned by the Company, for use in
Competing Activities, as of the date on which the Withdrawing Member notified
the other Members of its intent to withdraw from the Company.

     

    (C)           Upon
receipt of a Withdrawal Notice from a Withdrawing Member, any other Member may
cause a termination and dissolution of the Company in accordance with Article 12 of this
Agreement by giving written notice thereof (a “Dissolution Notice”) to all of
the other Members of the Company, including the Withdrawing Member.

     

    11.02      Right
of First Refusal.

     

    (A)           If
at any time any Member, who has previously obtained the other Members’ Consent
to Transfer in accordance with Section 10.01 (the
“Disposing Member”),
conditioned on compliance with this Section 11.02, wishes
to Transfer any or all of its Membership Interests pursuant to the terms of a
bona fide offer received from a third party, such Disposing Member shall submit
a written offer to sell such Membership Interests to each of the other Members
on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Members than
those on which such Disposing Member proposes to sell such Membership Interest
to such third party (the “Offer”).  The Offer
shall disclose the identity of the proposed purchaser or transferee, the
Percentage of Company Interests proposed to be sold or transferred and the
agreed terms of the Transfer.  Within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of the Offer (after which time the Offer shall expire), a Member shall give
notice to the Disposing Member of its intent to purchase all or any portion of
the offered Membership Interests on the same terms and conditions as set forth
in the Offer.  Any statement of intent to buy all or part of a
Membership Interest may be made subject to the satisfaction of any condition
included in good faith in the notice of intent to purchase, such as obtaining
financing.

    
      
         

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (B)           In
the event that the Members do not purchase all of the Membership Interests
offered by a Disposing Member pursuant to and within ninety (90) days after
receipt of the Offer, such Disposing Member may Transfer unpurchased Membership
Interests at any time within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Offer,
but subject to the provisions of Article 10
above.  Any such Transfer shall be made only to the proposed purchaser
or transferee identified in the Offer and shall be at not less than the price
and upon other terms and conditions, if any, not more favorable to the purchaser
or transferee than those specified in the Offer.  Any part of the
Membership Interest not sold or transferred within such ninety (90) day period
shall continue to be subject to the requirements of a prior offer pursuant to
this Section
11.02.  In the event that Membership Interests are sold or
transferred pursuant to this Section 11.02, said
Membership Interests shall continue to be subject to this
Agreement.

     

    (C)           If
any attempted or purported Transfer of any Membership Interest is made without
compliance with this Section 11.02, such
Transfer shall be null and void.

     

    12.       
 Term.

     

    12.01      Term and
Dissolution.  The existence of the Company shall continue until
the earlier of:

     

    (A)           An
election to dissolve the Company is made in writing by the Members;

     

    (B)           A
Dissolution Notice is sent by a Member to all of the other Members of the
Company following receipt of a Withdrawal Notice;

     

    (C)           A
date to be selected by the Board of Managers following the sale, exchange or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company Property;
or

     

    (D)           Any
other event causing a dissolution of the Company under the Act unless, subject
to applicable law, within 90 days thereafter, the Members elect to reconstitute
the Company, which election shall be evidenced by such writing as is required by
law.

     

    12.02      Liquidation of Company
Property.

     

    (A)           In
the event of dissolution and final termination of the Company, a full accounting
of the assets and liabilities shall be taken and, subject to clause (B) of this
Section 12.02,
the assets shall be liquidated, with the proceeds therefrom distributed by the
later of (i) the last day of the Fiscal Year in which the termination occurs or
(ii) ninety (90) days after the date on which the termination
occurs.  Subject to clause (B) of this Section 12.02, the
assets of the Company available for distribution to the Members shall be
distributed to the Members in proportion to their positive Capital Accounts
(after giving effect to adjustments attributable to all Company transactions
prior to any such distributions and any amounts credited to the Capital Account
of any Member).  Upon the complete liquidation and distribution of the
Company Property, the Members shall cease to be Members of the Company and the
Members shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed any certificates and
notices required by law to terminate the Company.

    (B)           Notwithstanding
clause (A) of this Section 12.02, in the
event of a dissolution and final termination of the Company, any Company
Intellectual Property shall be jointly owned by the Members, and the Members
shall enter into a joint ownership agreement evidencing such
arrangement.

     

    (C)           Upon
the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 12.01, the
Board of Managers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and furnished to each
Member a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company and,
promptly following the complete liquidation and distribution of the Company
Property, a statement showing the manner in which the Company Property was
liquidated and distributed.

     

    13.         Disclosure and
Publicity.

     

    The
Members hereby agree that all public disclosures concerning the parties or
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements, such as
press releases or written information distributed to financial intermediaries,
shall require unanimous prior approval of all Members.  However, to
the extent any party determines in the exercise of its good faith judgment that
any such disclosure is required by law, such party shall be entitled after
notice to the other party to make such disclosure even if it has not obtained
such approval.

     

    14.         Miscellaneous.

     

    14.01       Amendment
Procedure.  Except with respect to changes of an administrative
nature and which do not adversely affect the Members in any material respect or
to cure any ambiguity, or correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement
such as confirming a Transfer of Membership Interests hereunder, which changes
may be made by the Board of Managers without the prior consent of the Members,
this Agreement may not be amended without the unanimous Consent of the
Members.

     

    14.02       Company
Property.  All Company Property, whether real or personal,
tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity,
and no Member, individually, shall have any ownership of such
property.  The Company may hold any of the Company Property in its own
name or in the name of its nominee, which nominee may be one ore more
individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities.

     

    14.03       Other
Activities.  Except as expressly provided otherwise in this
Agreement, any of the Members or their Affiliates may engage in, or possess an
interest in, other business ventures of every nature and description,
independently or with others, whether or not such other enterprises shall be in
competition with any activities of the Company; and neither the Company nor the
other Members shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement in and to such
independent ventures or to the income or profits derived
therefrom.  Nothing herein shall be construed to constitute any Member
hereof the agent of any other Member hereof or to limit the Members in any
manner in the carrying on of their own respective businesses or
activities.

Resolution Agreement.

     

    (B)           The
parties hereto acknowledge that a breach of this Section 14.04 would
result in irreparable injury to the non-breaching party, and the non-breaching
party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including specific performance,
to enforce the provisions of this Section
14.04.

     

    14.05      
Applicable
Law.  It is the intent of the parties hereto that all questions
with respect to the construction of this Agreement and the rights and
liabilities of the parties hereto shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving
effect to the choice of law rules thereof that, except to the extent that any
provision hereof is mandatorily required to be governed by the provisions of the
Act.

     

    14.06       Binding
Agreement.  Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth
herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal or personal
representatives, successors and assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement a
reference is made to any party or Member, such reference shall be deemed to
include a reference to the heirs, executors, legal or personal representatives,
successors and assigns of such party or Member.

     

    14.07       Waiver of
Partition.  Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, no Member will, either directly or indirectly, take any action to
require partition or appraisal of the Company Property or the Company, and
notwithstanding any provision of applicable law to the contrary, each Member
(and its estate, personal or legal representative, heirs, beneficiaries,
distributees and successors and assigns) hereby irrevocably waives any and all
right to maintain any action for partition or to compel any sale with respect to
its interest in the Company or with respect to the Company
Property.

     

    14.08       Counterparts and

counterparts, each of which shall be treated as originals for all purposes, and
all so executed shall constitute one agreement, binding on all of the parties
hereto, notwithstanding that all the parties are not signatory to the original
or the same counterpart.  Any such counterpart shall be admissible
into evidence as an original hereof against the Person who executed
it.  The execution of this Agreement by facsimile signature shall be
sufficient for all purposes and shall be binding on any Person who so
executes.

     

    14.09       Survival of
Representations.  All representations and warranties herein
shall survive the dissolution and final liquidation of the Company.

     

    14.10       Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement (and all Exhibits and Schedules
hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement) contains
the entire understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior
written or oral agreements among them respecting the within subject matter,

agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between the Members
hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement which are not fully
expressed herein and in said Exhibits and Schedules.

    14.11      Waiver.  No
consent or waiver, express or implied, by any Member to or of any breach or
default by any other Member in the performance by the other of its obligations
hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any
other breach or default by the other in the performance by such other party of
the same or any other obligations of such Member hereunder.  Failure
on the part of any Member to object to or complain of any act or failure to act
of the other Members or to declare the other Members in default, irrespective of
how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Member of
its rights hereunder.

     

    14.12      Time
Periods.  Any time period hereunder which expires on, or any
date for performance hereunder which occurs on, a Saturday, Sunday or legal
United States holiday, shall be deemed to be postponed to the next Business

“after” a given day shall be deemed to occur on the day subsequent to that given
day.

     

    14.13       Waiver of Trial by
Jury.  In the event that any dispute is brought before any
court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any dispute, each of the

shall be tried by a judge as the finder of fact.

    (i)           It
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment involved in the
purchase of a Membership Interest in the Company and it has so evaluated this
purchase.

     

    (ii)           It
is aware that this investment is speculative and represents a substantial risk

    (iii)           It
is able to bear the economic risk of this investment.

     

    (iv)           In

informed as to the circumstances under which it is required to take and hold its
Membership Interest pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933
(the “Securities Act”) and applicable state
securities laws.

     

    (v)           It
understands that its Membership Interest is not registered under the Securities
Act or any state securities law and may not be transferred, assigned or
otherwise disposed of unless its Membership Interest is so registered or unless
an exemption from registration is available.

     

    (B)         Each
Member agrees as follows:

     

    (i)           The
Company is not under any obligation to register any Membership Interest under

    (ii)           The
Company will not be required to supply any Member or other person with any
information necessary to enable any Member to make a casual sale of its
Membership Interest under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any corresponding
rule under any state securities law.

     

    (C)          Each
Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from
and against any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or expense, including

Provisions - Members

     

    1.           Definitions.  The
following terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them for purposes of this
Exhibit 1
and for purposes of the Agreement:

     

    “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” shall mean, with
respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any in such Member’s Capital
Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, after giving effect to the
following adjustments:

     

    (A)           Credit
to such Capital Account any amounts which such Member is obligated to restore or
is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

     

    (B)           Debit
to such Capital Account the items described in Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

     

    The
foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply
with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall
be interpreted consistently therewith.

     

    “Company Minimum Gain” has the meaning set
forth in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and (d) for “partnership minimum gain.”

     

    “Depreciation” means, for each
Fiscal Year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization,
or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such
year or other period, except that if the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs
from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such
year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio
to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation,
amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period
bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the
federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction
for such year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such
beginning Gross Asset Value using any reasonable method selected by the Board of
Managers.

     

    “Member Minimum Gain” means, an amount, with
respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Company Minimum Gain that
would result if such Member Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse
Liability, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i).

     

    “Member Nonrecourse Debt” has the meaning set
forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4) for “partner nonrecourse debt.”

     

    “Member Nonrecourse Deductions” has the meaning
set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) for “partner nonrecourse deductions.”

    
      
         

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    “Nonrecourse Deductions” has the meaning
set forth in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and (c).

     

    “Nonrecourse Liability” has the meaning set
forth in Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2).

     

    “Profits and Losses” means, for each Fiscal
Year or other period, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss
for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a)
(for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be
stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in
taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

     

    (A)          Any
income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise
taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this definition
shall be taken into account in computing such taxable income or
loss;

     

    (B)           Any
expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or
treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in
computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this definition shall be taken into
account in computing such taxable income or loss;

     

    (C)           In
the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company Property is adjusted pursuant to
(B) or (C) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of such adjustment
shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset
for purposes of computing Profits or Losses;

     

    (D)           Gain
or loss resulting from any disposition of Company Property with respect to which
gain or loss is recognized for federal income purposes shall be computed by
reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding
that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Gross Asset
Value;

     

    (E)           To
the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Property
pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution other than in
liquidation of a Member’s Interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment
shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of
such asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) from the
disposition of such asset and shall be taken into account for purposes of
computing Profits and Losses;

     

    (F)           In
lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken
into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into
account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other period, computed in
accordance with the definition of Depreciation; and

     

    (G)           Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this definition, any items which are specially allocated
pursuant to Section 2(C)
hereof shall not be taken into account in computing Profits or
Losses.

    
      
         

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    The
amounts of the items of Company income, gain, loss, expense or deduction
available to be specially allocated pursuant to Section 2(C) hereof shall be
determined by applying rules analogous to those set forth in paragraphs (A)
through (F) above.

     

    2.           Allocation of Profit and
Loss.

     

    (A)      
   After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in
Section 2(C),
Profits and Losses for each Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated among
the Members such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after
giving effect to such allocations, shall equal, as nearly as possible, (i) the
amount of the distributions that would be made to such Member if (A) the Company
were dissolved and terminated, (B) its affairs were wound up and each of its
remaining assets were sold for their respective Gross Asset Values, (C) all
liabilities of the Company were satisfied (limited with respect to each
Nonrecourse Liability to the Gross Asset Value of the Company Property securing
such liability); and (D) the net assets of the Company were distributed to the
Members in accordance with Section 6.02 of this Agreement immediately after
making the allocations provided for in this Exhibit 1, minus (ii) the Member’s share
of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, computed immediately before the
hypothetical sale of assets.

     

    (B)          Tax
credits, tax credit recapture and related items shall be allocated in accordance
with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii), as
applicable.

     

    (C)          Special
Allocations.  The following special allocations shall be made
in the following order:

     

    (1)           Minimum Gain
Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit 1, if there
is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year of the
Company, then, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f),
each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain
relating to the Company Property for such taxable year (and, if necessary,
subsequent taxable 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). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in
accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j). This
Section 2(C)(1)
is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

     

    (2)           Member Minimum Gain
Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit 1 except
Section 2(C)(1),
if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during any taxable year of the
Company, then, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4),
each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain determined in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items
of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years)
in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum
Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).  The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4)
and 1.704-2(j). This Section 2(C)(2)
is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback
requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (3)           Qualified Income
Offset.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and
gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each
item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for such year) shall be
specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 2(C)(3)
shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 2 of
this Exhibit 1
have been tentatively made as if this Section 2(C)(3)
were not in this Exhibit.

     

    (4)           Gross Income
Allocation.  In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, such Member shall be specially
allocated items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each
item of income, including gross income, and gain for such year) relating to the
Company Property, in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 2(C)(4)
shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 2 of
this Exhibit 1
have been tentatively made as if Section 2(C)(3)
and this Section 2(C)(4)
were not in this Exhibit.

     

    (5)           Nonrecourse
Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or
other period relating to the Company Property shall be specially allocated to
the Members in proportion to their Percentages of Company Interest.

     

    (6)           Member Nonrecourse
Deductions.  Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal
Year or other period relating to the Company Property shall be specially
allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the
Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are
attributable in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

     

    (7)           Section 754
Adjustment.  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Company Property 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 a result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of
its Membership Interest, 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
interests in the Company in the event that Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to which such distribution
was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4)
applies.

    
      
         

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (D)         Other Allocation
Rules.

     

    (1)           For
purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any
period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily,
monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Members using any permissible
method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

     

    (2)           Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain,
loss, deduction and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be
divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits and
Losses, as the case may be, for the year.

     

    (3)           The
Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made
pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit 1 hereof and
hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Exhibit 1 hereof in
reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax
purposes.

     

    (4)           Solely
for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company
relating to the Company Property within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Company profits shall be
equal to their Percentages of Company Interests.

     

    (E)           It
is the intent of the Members that each Member’s distributive share of Profits
and Losses (and items thereof) and credit shall be allocated in accordance with
this Exhibit 1
to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code.

     

    3.           Tax Allocations: Code
Section 704(c).

     

    (1)           In
accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income,
gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital
of the Company by the Members 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 initial
Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition
herein).

     

    (2)           In
the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company Property is adjusted, subsequent
allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall
take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for
federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as
under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

     

    (3)           Any
elections or other decisions relating to such allocations to the Members shall
be made by the Board of Managers in any manner that reasonably reflects the
purpose and intention of this Agreement.  Allocations pursuant to this
Section 3
are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect,
or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account
or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    4.           Special Basis
Adjustments

     

    In the
event of a Transfer of all or any part of the Member Interest of any Member for
an amount in excess of the adjusted basis for such Membership Interest for
federal income tax purposes, the Company shall elect, pursuant to Section 754 of
the Code to adjust the basis of the Company Property.  Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement, any adjustments made pursuant to Section
754 shall affect only the successor in interest to the transferring
Member.  Each successor in interest to the transferring Member will
furnish the Company with all information necessary to give effect to such
election and shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Company
associated with any election applicable as to such Member.  Unless
otherwise specifically provided, neither adjustments to basis, nor adjustments
to the taxable income of a Member as a result of this Section 4, shall
affect its positive Capital Account.

      to the Licensed Trademarks (collectively, “Infringements”,
      and individually an “Infringement”),

      misappropriates, violates or dilutes any proprietary right or property of
      any third Person, or of any product liability claim or action based on or

      7.2.         Infringements of TEPS
Licensed Property.

       

      In the
event of any Infringement of the TEPS Licensed Property, TEPS shall have the
first right, but not the obligation, to undertake all actions reasonably
required to redress, oppose, prevent, or restrain such
Infringement.  In the event that TEPS does not take appropriate
actions to address such Infringement within ninety (90) days of TEPS receiving
written notice of such Infringement under Section 7.1(a), the Company will have
the right, but not the obligation, to commence such a legal action or proceeding
to the extent reasonably required to redress, oppose, prevent, or restrain such
Infringement.  Either party bringing any such legal action or
proceeding shall consult with the other party prior to commencing the same and
shall consider any recommendations by the other party with respect to the
conduct and settlement or compromise thereof and any reasonable alternative
resolutions of the Infringement matter.  Each party shall cooperate as
may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in the prosecution, settlement or
compromise of any such legal action or proceeding commenced by the other party
in respect of any Infringement of the TEPS Licensed Property, and agrees to be
joined as a party to any such action or proceeding if it is deemed to be
necessary or desirable by counsel retained by the other party for the
prosecution of such action or proceeding.  If either party proceeds to
bring any legal action or proceeding pursuant to the procedure provided for in
this Section 7.2, TEPS will bear all reasonable costs of such action or
proceeding (including legal fees), and any proceeds realized as a result of any
settlement thereof or any judgment thereon (“Proceeds”) shall be
paid to the Company after reimbursement of TEPS’ costs of such action or
proceeding.

      7.3.         TEPS Infringement
Claims.  In the event of any claim that any TIPS Product
infringes, misappropriates, violates or dilutes any proprietary right or
property of any third Person (each a “TEPS Infringement
Claim”), TEPS shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take
all actions reasonably necessary to oppose or defend such claims and to pay any
judgment or settlement amount awarded or obtained with respect to such TEPS
Infringement Claim.  In the course of opposing or defending any such
TEPS Infringement Claim, TEPS shall consult with the Company in connection with
all material issues relating to such opposition or defense and shall consult
with the Company prior to commencing the same and shall consider any
recommendations by the Company with respect to the conduct and settlement or
compromise thereof and any reasonable alternative resolutions of the TEPS
Infringement Claim.  In the event that TEPS does not undertake to
oppose or defend any such action within ninety (90) days after TEPS becomes
aware of such TEPS Infringement Claim, the Company will have the right, but not
the obligation, to undertake the opposition or defense of such claim in TEPS’
name.  In the event that the Company undertakes the opposition or
defense of such claim, the Company shall consult with TEPS in connection with
all material issues relating to such opposition or defense and shall consult
with TEPS prior to commencing the same and shall consider any recommendations by
TEPS with respect to the conduct and settlement or compromise thereof and any
reasonable alternative resolutions of the TEPS Infringement
Claim.  The Company shall not settle any TEPS Infringement Claim
without TEPS’ prior written consent.  Regardless of whether TEPS or
the Company undertakes to oppose or defend any TEPS Infringement Claim pursuant
to the procedures provided for in this Section 7.3, TEPS shall bear all costs of
such action or proceeding and shall pay any judgment or settlement amount
awarded or obtained with respect to such TEPS Infringement Claim; provided,
however, that TEPS shall have no obligation under this Section 7.3 to bear any
cost or pay any judgment or settlement amount if, and to the extent that, a TEPS
Infringement Claim is based on any feature or functionality of any TIPS Product
developed by or for the Company after the date of this Agreement if such TIPS
Product, without such feature or functionality, would be
non-infringing.
