The Company has not issued any outstanding options, warrants, rights (including any preemptive rights), subscriptions, phantom equity or other equity interests, equity equivalents or equity-based awards or rights, bonds, debentures or other indebtedness having the right to vote, or any other binding commitment or obligation, that would require the Company to issue or sell any limited liability company interests or other equity interests, or any securities or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for any limited liability company interests or other equity interests, and no person has any right to subscribe for or acquire from it any limited liability company interests or other equity interests.

  (f)Valid Issuance.  The Initial Preferred Interests have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Company and, when issued hereunder, will be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid.

  (g)No Additional Representations. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2, the Company has not made and shall not make, and expressly disclaims, any representations or warranties of any kind or nature, whether express or implied, as to the Company or its business or assets, the Investor Preferred Interests, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

  (e)Investment Representations.  

  (i)Such Investor is acquiring the applicable Investor Preferred Interests for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof. Such Investor understands that the applicable Investor Preferred Interests have not been, nor will be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of such Investor's investment intent and the accuracy of such Investor’s representations set forth herein. 

  (ii)Such Investor understands that all or any part of the applicable Investor Preferred Interests may not be offered or sold except pursuant to effective registration statements under the Securities Act or pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state laws.

  (iii)Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated under the Securities Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  (iv)Such Investor has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person (as defined in the A&R Company LLC Agreement) to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the applicable Investor Preferred Interests to such person or any other Person (or any part thereof or right with respect thereto), and such Investor has no present plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement.

  (v)Such Investor understands that the applicable Investor Preferred Interests have not been, and will not be, approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange 

  5

   

   

  

   

  Commission or by any other federal or state agency, and that no such agency has passed on the accuracy or adequacy of any disclosures made to such Investor by the Company.  No federal or state governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Investor Preferred Interests or an investment in the Company. 

  (vi)Such Investor further acknowledges and agrees that the ability to transfer the Investor Preferred Interests will be subject to restrictions contained in the A&R Company LLC Agreement, including the Series A Preferred Annex.  Such Investor recognizes that there will not be any public trading market for the Investor Preferred Interests and, as a result, such Investor may be unable to sell or dispose of the Investor Preferred Interests. Such Investor further acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have no obligation to register the Investor Preferred Interests.

  (vii)Such Investor has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the applicable Investor Preferred Interests and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Such Investor specifically acknowledges its understanding that there are significant risks in connection with such Investor’s prospective investment in the Company, including (a) general business risks, including the effects of a recession, and (b) that the Managing Member controls the management and operations of the Company, such that such Investor will have no control over the direction and future operations of the Company. Such Investor understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the applicable Investor Preferred Interests indefinitely and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

  (f)Tax Matters.  Such Investor has had the opportunity to consult its own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to it of the purchase, receipt and ownership of the applicable Investor Preferred Interests, including, in each case, the tax consequences under any tax laws and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws with respect to such tax consequences or otherwise.  Such Investor acknowledges that none of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates or any of their respective successors, beneficiaries, and assigns and their past and present directors, managers, shareholders, members, partners, officers, employees, and agents (including, without limitation, their attorneys) makes or has made any representations or warranties to such Investor regarding the tax consequences to such Investor of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the applicable Investor Preferred Interests, including, in each case, the tax consequences under any tax laws and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws. 

  (g)Inspection.  Such Investor acknowledges that it has conducted, to its satisfaction, its own independent investigation of the Company.  In entering into this Agreement and making the determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby, such Investor has relied on the results of its own independent investigation and analysis. Without limiting the foregoing, such Investor acknowledges that (A) the Company has made available, a reasonable time prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) information concerning the Company sufficient for such Investor to make an informed decision regarding an investment in the Company, and an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Series A Preferred Interests; and (ii) the opportunity to obtain any additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense deemed necessary by such Investor to verify the accuracy 

  6

   

   

  

   

  of the information provided, and such Investor has received all such additional information requested; and (B) such Investor has not relied on the Company or any of its affiliates, officers, employees or representatives in connection with his or her investigation or the accuracy of the information provided or in making any investment decision.

  5.Survival.  The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

  5.	Reliance by the Company.

  6.Further Assurances.  The Company and each Investor shall promptly execute and deliver such documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate, implement, affirm or ratify the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

  7.Governing Law.  All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement, including all claims (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to the Company's issuance and sale of the applicable Investor Preferred Interests to each Investor pursuant to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any claim or cause or action based upon, arising out of, or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that this Agreement has been entered into in express reliance upon 6 Del. C. § 2708.  

  8.Jurisdiction and Venue.  Any proceeding involving any party to this Agreement arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware) (together with the appellate courts thereof, the “Chosen Courts”) and each of the parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the purpose of any such proceeding.

Other than distributions upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Article 7 (including any such distributions to a Member who has resigned from the Company in accordance with Section 8.1), no Member shall have the right to demand or receive distributions of any amount, except as expressly provided in this Article 5 and, with respect to the Series A Preferred Interests, as expressly set forth in the Series A Preferred Annex. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Series A Preferred Annex, distributions of cash or other assets of the Company may be paid to the Members out of the Company’s assets legally available therefor (“Available Funds”) when, as and if declared by the Managing Member. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or the Series A Preferred Annex, the Company shall not make a distribution to a Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law or be restricted by any credit facility, indenture or other agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

  3.Tax Distributions.

  1.For each calendar year, to the extent permitted by the Act and the terms of any credit facility, indenture or other agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, the Company may, at such time or times as the Managing Member may determine and prior to making any distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 and the Series A Preferred Annex, make distributions (“Tax Distributions”) to the extent of Available Funds, with respect to each class and series of Interests to the Members holding Interests of such class or series, pro rata based on the number of Interests each such Member owns in such class or series of Interests, in an amount equal to such Member’s Annual Income Tax Liability, if any, with respect to such Interests. Any amounts distributed pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall reduce, dollar for dollar, any future distribution otherwise payable to such Member with respect to such Interests under this Article 5.

  2.For purposes of this Section 5.3, “Annual Income Tax Liability” means, for each Member, such Member’s aggregate annual U.S. federal, state, and local income tax liabilities for the applicable calendar year attributable to the taxable income (including gross items thereof) of the Company allocated to such Member with respect to such Member's Interests for such year, computed assuming that (i) such Member is an individual or, if a greater tax liability would result, a corporate resident in New York, New York, subject to the maximum U.S. federal and applicable state and local 

  	 

  

   

   

  income tax rates (determined taking into account any difference in rates applicable to ordinary income, capital gains and “qualified dividends” as such term is defined in Section 1(h) of the Code and any allowable deductions or credits in respect of such state and local taxes); provided, however, that the Managing Member may adjust consistently for each Member the assumed rate in its reasonable discretion and (ii) the items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit in respect of the Company were the only such items entering into the computation of tax liability of the applicable Member.

  4.Withholding. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions to any Member, or with respect to allocations to any Member, and to pay over to any U.S. federal, state or local or foreign government, any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), or any provisions of any other U.S. federal, state or local or foreign law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member pursuant to this Article 5 for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall be offset against the current or next amounts otherwise distributable to such Member. If the aggregate amount of withholding with respect to any Member exceeds the distributions to which such Member is entitled, such Member shall make prompt payment to the Company of such excess amount.

  6.

Books and Reports

The Company shall keep or cause to be kept at the office of the Company (or at such other place as the Managing Member in its discretion shall determine) full and accurate books and records regarding the status of the business and financial condition of the Company and shall make the same available to the Members upon request, subject to the provisions of the Act.

  2.Schedule K-1. After the end of each Fiscal Year, the Managing Member shall cause to be prepared and transmitted to each Member, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) days of the close of such Fiscal Year, an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Schedule K-1 and any required similar state or local income tax form; provided, however, that if the Company is not able to deliver an IRS Schedule K-1 within such ninety-day period, then within thirty (30) days after the end of such period the Company shall deliver to each Member a good faith estimate of the information required to be shown on an IRS Schedule K-1. Each Member shall provide to the Company any information with respect to such Member that the Company reasonably requires to complete and file the Company’s tax returns or other tax filings.

  1.The Managing Member (or its designee) shall serve as the “partnership representative” (as provided in Section 6223(a) of the Code) with respect to the Company (the “Partnership Representative”). Each Member expressly consents to such designation and agrees that it will execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary, appropriate, or requested by the Company or the Partnership Representative to evidence such consent.

  2.The Partnership Representative shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Company in connection with and make all relevant decisions regarding application of the Partnership Audit Rules (defined below), including, but not limited to, any elections under the Partnership Audit Rules or any decisions to settle, compromise, challenge, litigate or otherwise alter the defense of any proceeding before the IRS. Unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member, any taxes, penalties, and interest payable by the Company (or any entity that disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which the Company owns an interest) under the Partnership Audit Rules shall be treated as specifically attributable to the Members, and the Partnership Representative, in consultation with the Company's tax advisors, shall use reasonable best efforts to allocate the burden of (or any diminution in distributable proceeds resulting from) any such taxes, penalties or interest to those Members to whom such amounts are specifically attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions or otherwise), as determined by the Partnership Representative. In connection with the foregoing, to the extent that the Company is assessed amounts under the Partnership Audit Rules, each current or former Member to which the assessment relates shall remit to the Company, within thirty (30) calendar days’ of delivery to such current or former Member of written notice by the Partnership Representative, an amount equal to such Member’s allocable share of the assessment, including such Member’s allocable share of any interest imposed on the Company.

  3.Promptly following the written request of the Partnership Representative, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative for all reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred by the Partnership Representative in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax matters of the Company or otherwise in connection with its role as Partnership Representative under this Agreement, except to the extent arising from the fraud, willful misconduct or intentional violation of the law of the Partnership Representative.

  thereunder, and any similar state or local legislation, regulations, or guidance.

  5.The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall survive the dissolution of the Company and shall remain binding on the Members for as long a period of time as is necessary to resolve with the IRS any and all matters regarding the U.S. federal income taxation of the Company and/or the Members.

  Section 3.Creation of Additional Series A Preferred Interests. The Company is authorized to create, and the Managing Member shall have the authority to cause the Company to create, additional series of Series A Preferred Interests (any such Interests, the “Additional Series A Preferred Interests”) from time to time from and after the Initial Issuance Date.

Any such Exchange Notice shall specify (i) the number of Series A Preferred Interests held by such Series A Holder that are subject to 

  	 

  

   

   

  such Exchange, (ii) the contemplated date of such Exchange (the “Exchange Date”), and (iii) the aggregate Exchange Price for all of the Series A Preferred Interests of such Series A Holder subject to such Exchange, expressed as an amount of cash pursuant to the Cash Option and as a number of CAPL Units pursuant to the CAPL Unit Issuance.

  (b)Following any Series A Holder’s receipt of any Exchange Notice, each such Series A Holder shall have the right to elect to receive payment of the Exchange Price in respect of all of the Series A Preferred Interests of such Series A Holder that are subject to such Exchange in the form of either cash (the “Cash Option”) or CAPL Units (the “CAPL Unit Issuance”). In order to exercise the Cash Option, each such Series A Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days to deliver notice to CAPL and the Company of such Series A Holder’s election of the Cash Option with respect to such Exchange. Any Series A Holder who fails to timely deliver such notice to CAPL and the Company by the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have elected the CAPL Unit Issuance.

  (c)In the event that any Series A Holder timely elects the Cash Option with respect to any Exchange, the Company shall pay to such Series A Holder on the applicable Exchange Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Exchange Price for all of the Series A Preferred Interests of such Series A Holder being exchanged on such Exchange Date; provided, however, that, in connection with any Exchange, CAPL has the right (but not the obligation) to elect to make payment of the Exchange Price in cash to each Series A Holder who elected the Cash Option by delivering notice that it so elects to the Company at any time prior to the applicable Exchange Date.

  (d)In connection with any Exchange, for each Series A Holder that fails to timely elect the Cash Option, CAPL shall issue to such Series A Holder on the applicable Exchange Date a number of CAPL Units equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) an aggregate amount equal to the applicable Exchange Price of all Series A Preferred Interests of such Series A Holder being exchanged on such Exchange Date by (y) the applicable CAPL Unit Exchange Price; provided, however, that to the extent that the foregoing calculation would result in the issuance of a fractional CAPL Unit to any such Series A Holder, the number of CAPL Units determined pursuant to such calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and CAPL shall pay to such Series A Holder cash in lieu of any such fractional CAPL Unit.

  (e)Immediately upon the consummation of any Exchange, each of the Series A Preferred Interests subject to such Exchange (i) shall be deemed surrendered and Transferred by each applicable Series A Holder of such Series A Preferred Interests to CAPL or the Company, as applicable, (ii) each such Series A Holder shall no longer have any right, title or interest in or to such Series A Preferred Interests other than the right to receive the applicable Exchange Price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 8 and (iii) in the event that the Company acquires any such Series A Preferred Interests pursuant to the Cash Option, then such Series A Preferred Interests shall be cancelled and shall cease to be outstanding for all purposes of the LLC Agreement and this Series A Preferred Annex.
