5.3    Required Capital Contributions. No Member shall have any obligation to make any Capital Contributions to the Company other than as expressly set forth herein. In particular, no Member shall have any obligation to restore (to the Company or to or for the benefit of any creditor of the Company) any deficit balance in its Capital Account at any time, whether on liquidation or otherwise, and such deficit balance shall not be considered a debt owed by such Member to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.
5.4    Interest. No Member shall be entitled to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions.
5.5    Return of Capital. No Member shall be entitled to have any Capital Contribution returned to it or to receive any distributions from the Company upon withdrawal or otherwise, except in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement. No unrepaid Capital Contribution shall be deemed or considered to be a liability of the Company or any Member. No Member shall be required to contribute any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contribution.
5.6    Creditors of the Company. No creditor of the Company will have or shall acquire at any time any direct or indirect interest in the profits, capital or property of the Company other than as a secured creditor as a result of making a loan to the Company.
5.7    Loans. No Member may make any loans to the Company (a) without Supermajority Approval by the Board and (b) without offering to the other Members the opportunity to make such loans Pro Rata.
5.8    Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain for each Member owning a Membership Interest a separate Capital Account with respect to such Membership Interest in accordance with the rules of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).
(a)    Increases and Decreases. Each Member’s Capital Account (i) shall be increased by (x) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Company with respect to such Membership Interest and (y) all items of Company income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax), computed in accordance with Section 5.8(b) and allocated with respect to such 

13

Membership Interest pursuant to Article VI; and (ii) shall be decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all distributions of cash or property made with respect to such Membership Interest, and (y) all items of Company deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.8(b) and allocated with respect to such Membership Interest, and (y) all items of Company deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.8(b) and allocated with respect to such Membership Interest pursuant to Article VI.
(b)    Computation of Amounts. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is to be allocated pursuant to Article VI and is to be reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose), provided that:
(i)    solely for purposes of this Section 5.8, the Company shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share (as determined by the Company based upon the provisions of the applicable Group Member Agreement) of all property owned by (x) any other Group Member that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (y) any other partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes of which a Group Member is, directly or indirectly, a partner, member or other equity holder;
(ii)    all fees and other expenses incurred by the Company to promote the sale of (or to sell) a Membership Interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Code Section 709, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are required and shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to Article VI;
(iii)    except as otherwise provided in Regulations § 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Code Section 754 that may be made by the Company and, as to those items described in Code Section 705(a)(l)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss;
(iv)    any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Company property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Company’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date;
(v)    in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 704(b), any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed 

14

Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Company was equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.8(d) to the Carrying Value of any Company property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined, under the rules prescribed by Regulation § 1.704-3(d)(2), as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment; and
(vi)    the Gross Liability Value of each Liability of the Company described in Regulation § 1.752-7(b)(3)(i) shall be adjusted at such times as provided in this Agreement for an adjustment to Carrying Values and the amount of any such adjustment shall be treated for purposes hereof as an item of loss (if the adjustment increases the Carrying Value of such Liability of the Company) or an item of gain (if the adjustment decreases the Carrying Value of such Liability of the Company).
(c)    Transferees. A Transferee of a Membership Interest shall succeed to a Pro Rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferring Member relating to the Membership Interest so transferred.
(d)    Unrealized Gains and Losses.
(i)    In accordance with Regulations § 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Membership Interests for cash or Contributed Property, the Capital Account of each Member and the Carrying Value of each Company property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such issuance for an amount equal to its fair market value and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to Section 6.2.  In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate fair market value of all Company assets (including cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of additional Interests shall be determined by the Company using such method of valuation as the Board may adopt.
(ii)    In accordance with Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any distribution to a Member of any Company property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Membership Interest), the Capital Account of each Member and the Carrying Value of each Company property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to Section 6.2. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate fair market value of all Company assets (including cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the distribution shall (x) in the case of a distribution other than a distribution made pursuant to Section 10.2, be determined in the same manner as that provided in Section 5.8(d)(i) or (y) 

15

in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 10.2, be determined by the Liquidating Trustee using such method of valuation as it may adopt.
ARTICLE VI.
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
6.1    Allocations.  After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.2 and Section 6.3, Company Net Income or Net Loss for any taxable year shall be allocated to the Members Pro Rata.
6.2    Regulatory Allocations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VI, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:
(a)    Company Minimum Gain Chargeback.  If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in the manner and amounts provided in Regulations §§ 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision.  For purposes of this Section 6.2, each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2 with respect to such taxable year (other than an allocation pursuant to Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.2(f)).  This Section 6.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)    Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as provided in Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Company taxable year, any Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable year shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in the manner and amounts provided in Regulations §§ 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 6.2, each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2, other than Section 6.2(a) and other than allocations pursuant to Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.2(f), with respect to such taxable year.  This Section 6.2(b) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)    Qualified Income Offset.  If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of the type contemplated by Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), then items of income and gain shall be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b), the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit 

16

balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.2(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d)    Limitation on Allocation of Loss.  If the allocation of Loss (or items of loss or deduction) to a Member as provided in Section 6.1 hereof would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit, then there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Loss (or items of loss or deduction) as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit. The Loss (or items of loss or deduction) that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in proportion to their relative Equity Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.2(d).
(e)    Nonrecourse Deductions.  The Nonrecourse Deductions for each Company taxable year shall be allocated to the Members Pro Rata.
(f)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  The Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be allocated 100% to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Regulations § 1.752-2) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i).  If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such economic risk of loss.
(g)    Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Regulations § 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company in excess of the sum of (i) the amount of Company Minimum Gain and (ii) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the Members Pro Rata.
(h)    Code Section 754 Adjustments.  To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.
(i)    Curative Allocations.
(i)    The allocations set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b), Section 6.2(c), Section 6.2(d), Section 6.2(e), Section 6.2(f) and Section 6.2(h) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations §§ 1.704-l(b) and 1.704-2(i).  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory 

17

Allocations and the related Curative Allocation had not otherwise been provided in this Article VI.  In exercising its discretion under this Section 6.2(i)(i), the Company may take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2(i)(i) shall only be made with respect to Regulatory Allocations to the extent the Company determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Members.
(ii)    The Company shall, with respect to each taxable year, (x) apply the provisions of Section 6.2(i)(i) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Regulatory Allocations, and (y) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.2(i)(i) among the Members in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.
6.3    Allocations for Tax Purposes.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.
(b)    With respect to any Contributed Property or Adjusted Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, the Company shall adopt the “remedial allocation method” described in Regulations § 1.704-3(d), and consistent therewith and in an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions will be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members as follows:
(i)    In the case of a Contributed Property, (A) such items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions attributable thereto will be allocated among the Members in the manner provided under Code Section 704(c) and Regulations § 1.704-3(d) (i.e., the “remedial allocation method”) that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property will be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.
(ii)    In the case of an Adjusted Property, (A) such items will (1) first, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and Regulations § 1.704-3(d) (i.e., the “remedial allocation method”) to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 5.8(d), and (2) second, in the event such Adjusted Property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with Section 6.3(b)(i)(A); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property will be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.

18

(c)    For the proper administration of the Company, the Company shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; and (ii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Regulations under Code Section 704(b) or 704(c).  The Company may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.3(c) only if such conventions, allocations or amendments are consistent with the principles of Code Section 704.
(d)    In accordance with Regulations §§ 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f), any gain allocated to the Members upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Company property or asset will, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 6.3, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and the same extent as such Members (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.
(e)    All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Code Section 754 which may be made by the Company; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in any manner determined by the Board) to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Code Sections 734 and 743.
6.4    Other Rules.
(a)    For purposes of determining the Net Income, Net Loss or any other item allocable to any period, Net Income, Net Loss and other items will be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as reasonably determined by the Board using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the related Regulations.
(b)    In the event that the Code or any Regulations require allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit different from those set forth in this Article VI, the Company is hereby authorized to make new allocations in reliance on the Code and such Regulations, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Member.
6.5    Distributions.
(a)    From time to time, but not less than once each Distribution Period, the Board shall distribute an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Distribution Period to the Members Pro Rata; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not make any distribution to its Members that would be prohibited by the Act or by any other applicable law or contract to which the Company is a party or to which it is subject.
(b)    The Company and the Board shall be entitled to treat the record owner of a Membership Interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such record owner until such time as a Transfer of such Membership Interest has become effective on the books of the Company.  From 

19

the date of the receipt of any instrument relating to Transfer of a Membership Interest or at any time if the Company is reasonably in doubt as to the Person entitled to receive distributions in respect of such Membership Interest, the Company may withhold any such distributions until the Transfer is completed or abandoned or the dispute is resolved. Any amounts that a Member owes the Company may be deducted from the amount of a distribution to such Member before payment.
6.6    Accounting Matters.
(a)    The fiscal year of the Company shall end on December 31 unless otherwise established by the Board. The books and records of account of the Company shall, at the expense of the Company, (i) be kept, or caused to be kept, by the Company at the principal place of business of the Company, (ii) be on a basis consistent with GAAP consistently applied, (iii) reflect all Company transactions and (iv) be appropriate and adequate for conducting the Company business.  The Company may cause accountants who are employees of one or more Members or their Affiliates to keep the Company’s books and records, or the Company may hire third party accountants to keep the Company’s books and records.
(b)    Company books and records of account will be available for inspection and audit as provided in Section 8.4.
(c)    The Company shall provide to each Member such information with respect to the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as is reasonably necessary for such Member to file any required Tax returns of such Member or its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tax Matters Partner shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at Company expense, and file for the Company appropriate Tax returns and send all Members a copy thereof.
(d)    Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4, within 45 days of the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each Company fiscal year, the Company shall furnish each Member with a copy of the balance sheet of the Company as of the last day of the applicable period, and a statement of income or loss for the Company for such period, which shall be prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes) consistently applied.  The Company’s year-end annual statements shall be audited by a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4, within 45 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the Company shall furnish each Member with a copy of the Company’s audited financial statements.
(e)    The funds of the Company shall not be commingled with the funds of any Member or any other Person, and neither the Company nor any Member shall employ or permit any other Person to employ such funds in any manner except for the benefit of the Company.  The bank accounts of the Company shall be maintained in the name of the Company in such banking institutions as are approved by the Board, and withdrawals shall be made only in the regular course of Company business and as otherwise authorized in this Agreement on such signature or signatures as the Board may determine.

20

(f)    Each Member shall furnish to the Company all pertinent information in its possession relating to Company operations that is necessary to enable the Company’s income tax returns and financial statements to be prepared.
6.7    Dissolution.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VI, but subject to the proviso in Section 6.5(a), upon dissolution of the Company as provided in Article X, all distributions occurring after such dissolution shall be made in accordance with Article X.
6.8    Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or other tax Law with respect to any payment or distribution to the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Article VI for all purposes of this Agreement.
6.9    Conformity of Reporting.  The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their shares of Company profits, gains, income, losses, deductions, credits and other items for income tax purposes.
6.10    Elections. The Company shall make the following elections on the appropriate tax returns:
(a)    to adopt the calendar year as the Company’s taxable year;
(b)    to adopt the accrual method of accounting;
(c)    to elect in a timely manner pursuant to Code Section 754 and pursuant to corresponding provisions of applicable state and local tax laws, an election under Code Section 754 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder to adjust the bases of the Company’s properties under Code Sections 734 and 743; and
(d)    any other election approved by the Board.
Neither the Company nor any Member may make an election for the Company to be excluded from the application of the provisions of subchapter K of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code or any similar provisions of applicable state Law or take any other action which would result in the Company not being treated as a “partnership” for federal tax purposes.
6.11    Tax Matters Partner.  SPOC shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company pursuant to Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the “Tax Matters Partner”).  The Tax Matters Partner shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Member to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Code Section 6223.  The Tax Matters Partner shall inform each other Member of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as the Tax Matters Partner by giving notice thereof on or before the fifth Business Day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Member copies of all material written communications it may receive in that capacity.  The Tax Matters Partner may not take any action contemplated by Code Sections 6222 through 6231 without the consent of the Members except 

21

as necessary to meet applicable time deadlines or comply with other requirements of law, but this sentence does not authorize the Tax Matters Partner to take any action left to the determination of an individual Member under Code Sections 6222 through 6231.
ARTICLE VII.
MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY
7.1    Management by Board of Directors.
(a)    The overall management and control of the Company shall be exercised by or under the authority of the board of directors (the “Board” and, each member of the Board, a “Director”) as provided in this Article VII.  A Director shall be deemed to be a “manager” within the meaning of the Act.  The Board shall be exclusively vested with all management powers over the business and affairs of the Company except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or by non-waivable provisions of applicable Law.

(g)    Elimination and Replacement of Duties of Board: WHENEVER THE BOARD, ANY COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OR ANY DIRECTOR MAKES A DETERMINATION OR TAKES OR DECLINES TO TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION, IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE BOARD, A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OR A DIRECTOR, AS OPPOSED TO IN ANY DIRECTOR’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, THE BOARD, SUCH COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OR SUCH DIRECTOR SHALL MAKE SUCH DETERMINATION OR TAKE OR DECLINE TO TAKE SUCH OTHER ACTION IN GOOD FAITH AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY HIGHER STANDARD CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR UNDER THE DELAWARE ACT OR ANY OTHER LAW, RULE OR REGULATION OR AT EQUITY. A DETERMINATION, OTHER ACTION OR FAILURE TO ACT WILL BE DEEMED TO BE IN GOOD FAITH IF THE BOARD, ANY COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OR ANY DIRECTOR REASONABLY BELIEVED SUCH DETERMINATION, OTHER ACTION OR FAILURE TO ACT TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY.  THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7.11 AND SECTION 7.13 SHALL ALSO BE APPLICABLE TO DIRECTORS ACTING IN SUCH CAPACITY AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF EACH DIRECTOR.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL INDEMNIFY, PROTECT, DEFEND, RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH DIRECTOR FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS ASSERTED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY PERSON (INCLUDING ANOTHER MEMBER OR THE COMPANY), OTHER THAN THE MEMBER THAT DESIGNATED SUCH DIRECTOR, THAT ARISE OUT OF, RELATE TO OR ARE OTHERWISE ATTRIBUTABLE TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, SUCH DIRECTOR’S SERVICE ON THE BOARD, OTHER THAN SUCH CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THE BAD FAITH, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH DIRECTOR (SUCH BAD FAITH, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT HAVING BEEN DETERMINED BY A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT ENTERED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION) WHICH HAS A MATERIAL ADVERSE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE COMPANY.
7.2    Authority of the Board.  Except for matters that (a) require approval of the Members by the express terms of this Agreement or (b) relate to the responsibilities and authority delegated by the Board to the officers, the Board shall have the exclusive authority to make all decisions and take all actions and act on behalf of the Company generally to conduct, direct and manage the business, activities, operations and affairs of the Company.
7.3    Board Decisions and Quorum.
(a)    Each Director shall be entitled to cast on all matters to come before the Board a number of votes equal to the Equity Percentage Interest deemed to be held by the Member that appointed such Director divided by the number of Directors appointed by such Member; provided

that, if any other Director appointed by such Member is not in attendance at the Board meeting, the Director in attendance shall be entitled to cast an aggregate number of votes equal to the entire Equity Percentage Interest held by the Member that appointed such Director. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as the aggregate interest of SPOC and its Affiliates in the equity of the Company, stated as a percentage, is greater than or equal to 15.0%, on all matters to come before the Board, SPOC shall be deemed to hold a 50.1% Equity Percentage Interest and Holdings shall be deemed to hold a 49.9% Equity Percentage Interest, in each case, for purposes of determining the number of votes entitled to be cast with respect to any such matters by the Directors appointed by SPOC.
(b)    The Board shall hold such regular meetings, if any, as it may determine from time to time which shall not require prior written notice, and such special meetings as may be called by any Director upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice to all Directors.
(c)    Notices of Board meetings shall state the place, day and hour thereof, shall include appropriate dial-in information to each Director to participate in such meeting by means of telephone conference, and shall otherwise be in accordance with Section 11.1. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
(d)    Attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business at such meeting on the ground that such meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting by signing a written waiver to such effect before or after such meeting and such waiver shall be effective for all purposes as satisfying all notice requirements under this Agreement or applicable Law.
(e)    The presence in person or by proxy of Directors having, in the aggregate, 50.1% of the votes deemed to be held by all Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board.  If, however, a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall be present.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, where a Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business at such meeting on the ground that such meeting is not lawfully called or convened, such attendance shall not constitute participation in, or presence at, such meeting.
(f)    With respect to any matter for which the approval, consent or vote of Directors is required by the Act or this Agreement, except to the extent Supermajority Approval or unanimous approval is required by this Agreement, the approval of Directors deemed to hold an Equity Percentage Interest of 50.1% or greater at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, and the phrases “approval”, “consent” or “vote” of or by the Board and phrases of like import shall mean approval by the Board, similarly construed.  At any meeting of the Board, each Director shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by such Director or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.

24

(g)    Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by Directors deemed to hold the requisite number of votes and such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote of such Directors at a meeting of the Board, provided that reasonable advance notice of such consent is given to all Directors. Such consent shall be filed with the consents of the Board and a copy of such consent shall be provided to all Directors.
(h)    Any meeting of the Board may be held by conference telephone, televideo or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to such equipment shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

The officers shall have such titles and hold their offices for such terms as shall be determined from time to time by the Board and shall have such authority as set forth in Section 7.5 except to the extent modified from time to time by the Board.

(d)    Compensation. The compensation, if any, of all officers, employees and agents of the Company shall be fixed by the Board.
(e)    Reimbursements.  The officers and agents of the Company may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Company paid or incurred by them on behalf of the Company.
7.5    Authority of the Officers. Except for matters that require approval of the Members or the Directors by the express terms of this Agreement, or as the Directors may otherwise 

25

determine, the officers shall have the authority to make all decisions and take all actions and act on behalf of the Company generally to conduct, direct and manage the day-to-day business, activities, operations and affairs of the Company and all matters related to the business of the Company.
7.6    Member Decisions and Quorum.
(a)    The Members in their capacity as Members shall not have any power or authority to manage the business or affairs of the Company or to bind the Company or enter into agreements on behalf of the Company.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Act, Members shall have no voting rights or rights of approval, veto or consent or similar rights over any actions of the Company.  For so long as the aggregate interest of SPOC and its Affiliates in the equity of the Company, stated as a percentage, is greater than or equal to 15.0%, where the vote, approval or consent of the Members is required under this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, SPOC shall be deemed to hold a 50.1% Equity Percentage Interest and Holdings shall be deemed to hold a 49.9% Equity Percentage Interest.

(c)    Written notice of all special meetings of Members stating the place, day and hour thereof, and the purpose for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than one Business Day prior to the date of the meeting, to the Members of record entitled to vote at such meeting and shall otherwise be in accordance with Section 11.1.
(d)    Attendance of a Member at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business at such meeting on the ground that such meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Any Member may waive notice of any meeting by signing a written waiver to such effect before or after such meeting and such waiver shall be effective for all purposes as satisfying all notice requirements under this Agreement or applicable Law.
(e)    The presence in person or by proxy of Members deemed to hold, in the aggregate, 50.1% of the Equity Percentage Interests shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Members.  If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the Members, the Members entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally convened.
(f)    With respect to any matter for which the approval, consent or vote of Members is required by the Act or this Agreement, the affirmative vote of Members deemed to hold an Equity 

26

Percentage Interest of 50.1% at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Members, unless the matter is one for which the Act (in a non-waivable provision thereof) or this Agreement requires the consent, approval or vote of all of the Members or a Supermajority Approval.  The terms “approval”, “consent” or “vote” of or by the Members and phrases of like import shall mean approval by the Members, similarly construed.  At any meeting of the Members, each Member entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by such Member or by his or its duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless such proxy otherwise provides.  Each proxy shall be revocable before it has been voted unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest.
(g)    Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Members at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by Members deemed to hold an aggregate Equity Percentage Interest sufficient to take such action at a meeting of the Members at which a quorum is present provided that reasonable advance notice of the proposed action has been provided to all Members. Such consents shall be filed with the minutes of the Members, and a copy of such consents shall be provided to all Members.
(h)    Members may participate in and hold a meeting of the Members by means of conference telephone, televideo or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to such telephone or communication equipment shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

7.11    Limitation of Liability.  No Member, Director or officer has guaranteed nor shall it have any obligation with respect to the return of a Member’s Capital Contributions, and no Member, Director or officer has guaranteed profits from the operation of the Company. No Member or any of its Affiliates, nor any Director or officer shall be liable to the Company or to any other Member for any loss or damage sustained by the Company or any other Member arising from any actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as a Member, Director or officer, except for any loss or damage directly resulting from fraud or willful misconduct by such Member or its officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, or the bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Director or officer (such bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct having been determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction) which has a material adverse financial impact on the Company, it being specifically agreed that no Member, Director or officer shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for its own ordinary, joint or 

28

concurrent negligence of such Member or its officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, or such Director or officer.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no event shall any Member or its officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, or such Director or officer be liable to the Company or to any other Member for any Consequential Damages sustained by the Company or any other Member. Each Member, Director and officer shall be entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Member, Director or officer reasonably believes are within such Person’s professional competence or expertise, including financial statements or other financial data prepared or presented in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and any act taken or omitted in reliance thereon shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance therewith.  The provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 7.11, Section 7.1 and Section 7.13 to the extent that they restrict or eliminate fiduciary and other duties of Members, Directors, officers or Affiliates to the Company or its Members otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Members, Directors, officers or Affiliates.
7.12    No Restrictions.
(a)    No Member, Director or officer shall be required to tend to the business and affairs of the Company as such Member’s, Director’s or officer’s sole and exclusive function, and any Member, Director or officer may have other business interests and may engage in other investments and activities in addition to those relating to the business of the Company or the Company, independently or with others, including businesses, investments and activities that may be similar to, or in competition with, the business of the Company, the Company, any of its Members or any of their respective Affiliates, and none of the same shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty expressed or implied by law to any Member, Director or officer or the Company.  No Member, Director or officer shall incur liability to the Company or to any Member as a result of engaging in any other such business, investment or activity.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to a Member, Director or officer.  No Member, Director or officer who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Company shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company or any Member, and such Member, Director or officer shall not be liable to the Company, to any Member or any other Person for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Member, Director or officer pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company or any other Member.
(c)    Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, to share or participate in such other businesses, investments or activities of a Member or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom.
(d)    Subject to Section 7.7(f), the Company may enter into contracts with Affiliates, including contracts pursuant to which such Affiliates will perform any function which the Board is authorized or obligated to perform hereunder.

29

7.13    Indemnity of Members, Directors and Other Agents.
(a)    To the fullest extent permitted under the Act, the Members, Directors and the officers of the Company, to the extent acting on behalf of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any delegation of authority from the Board and each of such Person’s equity owners, directors, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees (the “Indemnitees”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against all losses, Claims, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably paid or incurred by the Indemnitee), whether or not such Indemnitee is acting in such capacity at the time such liability or expense is paid or incurred, as a result of a Claim arising out of or related to the business of the Company, assets or affairs of the Company, to the extent in the action, omission or transaction giving rise to such Claim, the Indemnitee’s actions or omissions were in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct (such fraud or willful misconduct having been determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction) which has a material adverse financial impact on the Company.  THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY EXPRESSLY INCLUDES AN INDEMNITY TO PROTECT AN INDEMNITEE FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF ITS OWN CONDUCT WITH RESPECT TO THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, PASSIVE OR ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE (INCLUDING GROSS NEGLIGENCE) OR STRICT LIABILITY OF SUCH INDEMNITEE.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee’s actions or omissions were not in good faith and in a manner that the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company, or constituted fraud or willful misconduct. The right of indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which any Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of Law or equity and shall extend to his heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives.
(b)    To the extent an Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise in any proceeding that arises out of or otherwise relates to the Company or this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified in accordance with Section 7.13 by the Company against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee or on such Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.  If an Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all Claims, issues or matters in such proceeding, the Company shall indemnify such Indemnitee in accordance with Section 7.13 against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved Claim, issue or matter.  For purposes of this Section 7.13(b) and without limitation, the termination of any Claim; issue or matter in such a proceeding by dismissal or withdrawal with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such Claim, issue or matter.
(c)    The Company shall advance all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such proceeding.  Such statement or statements 

30

shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of any Indemnitee to repay any expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses.
(d)    The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Indemnitee, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Section 7.13(a).
(e)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.13 is unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any amount referred to therein as a result of a final judicial determination that such indemnification cannot be enforced, then, to the extent permitted by Law, the Company shall, in lieu of indemnifying each Indemnitee, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such amount in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and each Indemnitee and the relative fault of the Company and each Indemnitee in connection with the matter which resulted in such Claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties (including excise and similar Taxes and punitive damages), fines, cost, expense or settlement amount, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
(f)    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.13 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.
(g)    The provisions of this Section 7.13 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors and assigns, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of other Persons.
(h)    No amendment or repeal of this Section 7.13 or any provision hereof 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 obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
7.14    Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses.  Except as approved by the Board, no Member, Director or officer shall be entitled to compensation for actions taken on behalf of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Directors and Members for any out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred in attending meetings of the Board or of the Members.
ARTICLE VIII.
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

31

8.1    Limitation on Liability and Authority.  Each Member’s liability shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement, the Act and other applicable Law. Without limiting the right of any Member to exercise the rights expressly granted to such Member under this Agreement, each Member agrees that it has no authority under this Agreement, and will not exercise any authority it may have under the Act, to act for, bind or commit the Company to agreements, transactions or other arrangements, or hold itself out as an agent of the Company, without the express prior written consent of the Board.
8.2    No Liability for Company Obligations.  No Member or its officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company (whether arising in contract, tort, statute or otherwise), including under a judgment, decree or order of a court, except as may be expressly provided in a separate, written guaranty or other agreement executed by a Member or its officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates or as may be provided under the Act relating to liability for wrongful distributions.
8.3    Priority and Return of Capital.  Except as is expressly provided herein, no Member shall have priority over any other Member, either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to Net Income, Net Losses, or distributions.  This Section 8.3 shall not apply to loans made to the Company by any Member.
8.4    Access to Information.  Each Member shall be entitled to receive the following (provided, however, an assignee of a Membership Interest who is not admitted as a Substitute Member shall not be entitled to any of the following):
(a)    to receive a copy of this Agreement and any amendments hereto;
(b)    to receive a current list of the name and last known address of each to receive information regarding the amount of cash and a description and statement of the Agreed Value of any other property or services contributed by each Member and that each Member has agreed to contribute in the future, and the date on which each became a Member;
(c)    to receive the financial information described in Section 6.6;
(d)    to receive copies of the Company’s federal, state and local tax returns for each year; and
(e)    to inspect the assets of the Company during business hours at the principal office of the Company upon reasonable prior written notice.
ARTICLE IX.
TRANSFERS
9.1    Restrictions on Transfers.
(a)    A Member may only transfer, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) all or any portion of its Membership Interest (i) to an Affiliate or another Member upon the consent of the Board, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 

32

conditioned or delayed (each, an “Internal Transfer”), or (ii) to any other Person after Supermajority Approval of the proposed Transfer and, in each case, otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article IX.  Any attempted Transfer of a Membership Interest, other than in strict accordance with this Section 9.1(a), shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void to the fullest extent permitted by Law.
(b)    All Transfers hereunder shall be by instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, which instrument shall contain an express statement by the Transferee of its agreement to accept the Transfer and to accept, adopt and be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may have been amended from time to time, and shall provide for the payment by the transferring Member of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Transfer, including, without limitation, any necessary amendments to this Agreement to reflect such Transfer.  The transferring Member and the Transferee shall execute and acknowledge any and all such instruments as the Company may reasonably request to effectuate such Transfer, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.  In no event shall the Company dissolve or terminate (other than for tax purposes, to the extent provided by the Code and Regulations) upon the admission of any Member to the Company or upon any permitted Transfer of a Membership Interest in the Company by any Member.
9.2    Substitute Members.  As of the effectiveness of any Transfer of a Membership Interest permitted under Section 9.1, any Transferee acquiring such Membership Interest shall be deemed admitted as a Substitute Member with respect to the Membership Interest so transferred. Substitute Members shall have all of the rights and obligations of Members. Transferees of Membership Interests who do not become Substitute Members shall have only the rights of assignees of Membership Interests and, therefore, no rights of a Member hereunder. An assignee shall have only the right to receive allocations and distributions attributable to the Membership Interest acquired by such assignee, which Membership Interest shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer as contained in this Agreement.  An assignee shall have the same obligations to the Company and the Members as a Member holding the same Membership Interest would have, including any obligation to make Capital Contributions.
9.3    Admission of Additional Members.  An additional Member (which shall not include a Substitute Member resulting from a Transfer in accordance with Article IX) may be admitted into the Company only upon Supermajority Approval, including in such approval the additional Member’s required Capital Contribution and Equity Percentage Interest, and execution of a counterpart of this Agreement by the additional Member. Additional Members shall have all of the rights and obligations of Members.
9.4    Withdrawal.  No Member has the right or power to withdraw from the Company, and no Member shall withdraw from the Company without the consent of the Board.
9.5    Effective Date of Transfers.  In the event a Transfer of a Membership Interest is consummated in accordance with this Article, such Transfer will be recognized for the purpose of distributions and allocations as of the date on which such Transfer became effective; provided that the Company shall have been given a copy of all documents or instruments executed in connection with such Transfer.  Notwithstanding any assumption of liabilities by a Transferee, 

33

the transferring Member shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Company unless such a release is approved by the Board.  The Company shall be entitled to treat the record owner of a Membership Interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such record owner until such time as the Transfer of such Membership Interest has become effective on the books of the Company.
9.6    Withholding of Distributions.  From the date of the receipt of any instrument relating to Transfer of a Membership Interest or at any time if the Board is reasonably in doubt as to the Person entitled to receive distributions in respect of such Membership Interest, the Board may withhold any such distributions until the Transfer is completed or abandoned or the dispute is resolved.
9.7    Compliance with Securities Laws.  In addition to the restrictions on Transfer of the Membership Interests contained in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Membership Interest shall be made by or on behalf of any Member unless the Company has received a written opinion of, or satisfactory to, its legal counsel that the proposed Transfer is exempt from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Board may waive the requirement of this Section to obtain a legal opinion.
ARTICLE X.
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION
10.1    Dissolution.  The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up in accordance with Section 10.2 upon the occurrence of any of the following (each, a “Liquidating Event”):
(a)    the end of the term of the Company, if any, stated in the Certificate;
(b)    the unanimous consent of the Members to dissolve the Company;
(c)    the bankruptcy of or the appointment of a receiver for the Company; or
(d)    the occurrence of any other event which causes a dissolution of the Company under the Act, unless the Company is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed and provided that the death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of any Member shall not, in and of itself, cause the Company to be wound up or dissolved, and upon the occurrence of any such event, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be continued without winding up or dissolution.
10.2    Winding Up, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets.
(a)    Upon the dissolution of the Company because of an occurrence of any of the events described in Section 10.1, no further business shall be conducted except for the taking of such action as shall be necessary for the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution 

34

of its assets to the Members pursuant to the provisions of this Article X. Upon the occurrence of an event requiring winding up of the Company, the Board shall act as the Liquidating Trustee.  The Liquidating Trustee shall have full authority to wind up the affairs of the Company and to make distributions as provided herein, subject to the same restrictions under Section 7.3 as if the Liquidating Trustee were the Board.
(b)    Upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidating Trustee shall either sell the assets of the Company at the best price available, or the Liquidating Trustee may distribute to the Members all or any portion of the Company’s assets in kind.  The property of the Company shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof.  If any assets are sold or otherwise liquidated for value, the Liquidating Trustee shall proceed as promptly as practicable in a commercially reasonable manner to implement the procedures of this Section 10.2.  If any assets are to be distributed in kind, the Fair Market Value of such assets shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.10, and each Member’s Capital Account shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, as if such asset had been sold for cash at such Fair Market Value and the net gain or net loss recognized thereby had been allocated to and among the Members in accordance with Article VI.
(c)    All assets of the Company shall be applied and distributed by the Liquidating Trustee in the following order:
(i)    first, to the creditors of the Company (including, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Member who has made a loan to the Company that remains outstanding) in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof (including by setting up reserves for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities)), other than liabilities to Members on account of their Capital Contributions or on account of a Member’s withdrawal from the Company or pursuant to a withdrawal of capital; and
(ii)    thereafter, to the Members in accordance with, and to the extent of, the positive balances of their Capital Accounts (after all adjustments to such Capital Accounts have been made for such taxable year, including to reflect any Net Income or Net Losses to be allocated to the Members in connection with the dissolution and liquidation of the Company).
10.3    Certificate of Cancellation.  When all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company have been satisfied and all of the remaining property and assets of the Company have been distributed to the Members, a Certificate of Cancellation shall be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the Act.
10.4    Return of Contribution; Nonrecourse Against Other Members.  Except as provided by law or as expressly provided in this Agreement, upon dissolution, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contributions.  If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return the Capital Contributions of one or more Members, such Member or Members shall have no recourse against any other Member.  No Member shall be required to 

35

contribute any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.
10.5    Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.6, in the event the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to Section 10.2. In the discretion of the Liquidating Trustee, all or any portion of the ·distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members may be:
(a)    Distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of paying any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidating Trustee, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement; or
(b)    Withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company; provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Members as soon as practicable.
10.6    Deemed Contribution and Distribution.  In the event the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations § 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 federal income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed all Company property and liabilities to a new limited liability company in exchange for an interest in such new limited liability company and, immediately thereafter, the Company will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new limited liability company to the Members.

EXECUTION VERSION

GUARANTEE OF COLLECTION
THIS GUARANTEE OF COLLECTION (this “Guarantee”) is made as of April 1, 2015, by ETP RETAIL HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor”), to SUNOCO LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Sunoco LP”), and SUNOCO FINANCE CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp” and, together with Sunoco LP, the “Sunoco Issuers”) to provide a guarantee of collection, on the terms set forth herein, for the benefit of the holders (the “Holders”) of the Supported Debt (as hereinafter defined) and the trustee (the “Trustee”) under the Indenture dated April 1, 2015 (collectively, the “Senior Notes Indenture”) with respect to the $800 million aggregate principal amount of the Sunoco Issuers’ 6.375% senior notes due 2023 (together with any senior notes of the Sunoco Issuers with substantially identical terms that are issued to the Holders pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the “Supported Debt”). The Guarantor and the Sunoco Issuers may hereinafter be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.” 
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Sunoco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sunoco LLC”), the Guarantor and Sunoco LP, and, solely for limited purposes, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ETP LP”), have entered into that certain Contribution Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2015, as amended (the “Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which the Guarantor has agreed to contribute to Sunoco LP thirty-one and fifty-eight/hundredths percent (31.58%) of the membership interests in Sunoco LLC (the “Contribution”);
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2015, the Sunoco Issuers issued the Supported Debt;
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Guarantee, Sunoco LP will distribute to Guarantor the Cash Consideration (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement) equal to $775,000,013.00 (the “Sunoco LP Distribution”), and in consideration of the Sunoco LP Distribution, Guarantor hereby enters into this Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Contribution, the Guarantor desires to enter into this Guarantee and be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:
1.Guarantee.  Subject to the terms herein, the Guarantor guarantees to the Holders and the Trustee the full and prompt collection of the principal amount due under the Supported Debt, but not any accrued and unpaid interest thereon or any fees or other amounts of any kind whatsoever that shall be due to the Holders by the Sunoco Issuers (the “Liabilities”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee are obligations solely of the Guarantor and do not constitute a debt or obligation of (and 

no recourse shall be made with respect to) ETP LP, any of its affiliates (other than the Guarantor), or any shareholder, partner, member, officer, director or employee of ETP LP or such affiliates (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”). No action under or in connection with this Guarantee shall be brought against any Non-Recourse Party, and no judgment for any deficiency upon the obligations hereunder shall be obtainable against any Non-Recourse Party.
2.    Guarantee of Collection. This is a guarantee of collection only and not a guarantee of payment.  Notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Guarantee to the contrary, the Guarantor shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Guarantee unless and until each of the following has occurred: (i) the Trustee or other Holder must use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain judgment against Sunoco LP and any of its subsidiaries with obligations with respect to the Supported Debt (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), (ii) the Trustee or other Holder must use commercially reasonable efforts to execute on any judgment obtained against Sunoco LP and any of its Guarantor Subsidiaries, (iii) following execution of any such judgment, a portion of the sums due under the Supported Debt constituting Liabilities must remain unpaid, (iv) if no bankruptcy proceeding has been commenced with respect to Sunoco LP, the Trustee or other Holder shall have brought an action in a court of law having proper subject matter jurisdiction against Sunoco LP and any applicable Guarantor Subsidiaries to collect such Liabilities, obtained a final and non-appealable judgment by such court against Sunoco LP and any applicable Guarantor Subsidiaries in respect of such Liabilities and levied execution of such judgment against the property of Sunoco LP and any applicable Guarantor Subsidiaries, and as a result of such execution received less than payment in full in cash or property of such Liabilities, and (v) if a bankruptcy proceeding has been commenced with respect to Sunoco LP and any of its applicable Guarantor Subsidiaries, the closing of the bankruptcy proceeding after its administration under 11 U.S.C. Section 350(a) shall have occurred and the Trustee or other Holder shall have received, after all distributions contemplated by such bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, less than payment in full in cash or property in respect of such Liabilities.  For these purposes, the value of any payment made in property shall be equal to the fair market value of such property at the time of such payment.
3.    Termination of Guarantee. This Guarantee shall remain in effect and will not terminate until the Liabilities have been paid in full.
4.    Waivers. The Guarantor waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, (ii) all presentments and protests, and (iii) notice of dishonor.
5.    Obligations Absolute. Except as set forth in this Guarantee, the Guarantor’s obligations are in all respects absolute and unconditional and will not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any modification, discharge, renewal or extension of the Liabilities or the Supported Debt, or any amendment, modification or stay of the Trustee’s or other Holder’s rights under the Supported Debt which may occur in any bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding concerning the Sunoco Issuers, whether permanent or temporary and whether or not assented to by the Trustee or other Holder, (ii) any notice of withdrawal of this Guarantee, at any time and from time to time before, at or after maturity of the Supported Debt, (iii) any determination that any signatures on behalf of the Sunoco Issuers on the Supported Debt are not genuine or that the Supported Debt is not the 

2

legal, valid and binding obligation of the Sunoco Issuers, or (iv) any defenses that the Sunoco Issuers may have as to any sums due under the Supported Debt.
6.    Waiver of Subrogation. The Guarantor irrevocably waives, relinquishes and renounces any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or any claim whatsoever which the Guarantor may have against the Sunoco Issuers or any other persons liable on the Supported Debt. The Guarantor will not assert any such claim against the Sunoco Issuers or any other persons liable on the Supported Debt, in any proceeding, legal or equitable, including any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding. This provision will inure to the benefit of and will be enforceable by the Trustee, the Holders, the Sunoco Issuers and any such persons liable on the Supported Debt, and their successors and assigns, including any trustee in bankruptcy or debtor-in-possession.
7.    Reinstatement of Guaranteed Liabilities. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall apply to and continue with respect to any amount paid to the Trustee and the Holders on the Liabilities which is subsequently recovered from the Trustee and the Holders for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or fraudulent conveyance proceeding), notwithstanding the fact that the Liabilities may have been previously paid in full or this Guarantee terminated, or both.
8.    Assignment. The Trustee and the Holders may, from time to time, whether before or after any withdrawal of this Guarantee, without notice to the Guarantor, assign or transfer any or all of the Liabilities or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for purposes of this Guarantee, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this Guarantee to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the Trustee or other Holder; provided, however, that, unless the Trustee or Holders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Trustee and the Holders shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee or transferee, to enforce this Guarantee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, as to that portion of the Liabilities which the Trustee and the Holders have not assigned or transferred.
9.    Cumulative Rights; No Waiver. Each and every right granted to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time subject only to the limitations set forth in this Guarantee. No failure on the part of the Trustee and the Holders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Trustee or other Holder of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
10.    Interpretation and Construction. Each reference herein to the Trustee and the Holders shall be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns, and each reference to the Sunoco Issuers and the Guarantor and any pronouns referring thereto as used herein shall be construed in the singular or plural as the context may require and shall be deemed to include the 

3

successors and assigns of the Sunoco Issuers and the Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions hereof.
11.    Continuing Guarantee. Subject to the limitations herein, this instrument is intended to be a full, complete and continuing guarantee to the Trustee and the Holders to the extent of and for the Liabilities owing by the Sunoco Issuers to the Trustee and the Holders from time to time and to be valid and continuous without other or further notice to the Guarantor, notwithstanding the dissolution of the Sunoco Issuers or any other guarantor, until notice in writing of withdrawal of this Guarantee, signed by the parties hereto or any of them, has actually been given to the Trustee and the Holders, and then only as to the party or parties signing such notice and to transactions subsequent to the time of such notice; provided, however, that no such notice of withdrawal shall affect or impair (a) any of the agreements and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect to any and all Liabilities existing at the time of actual receipt of such notice by the Trustee and the Holders until paid in full; or (b) the Trustee’s or other Holder’s right to recover all expenses paid or incurred by the Trustee or other Holder endeavoring to enforce this Guarantee against the Guarantor. All of the agreements and obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall, notwithstanding any such notice of withdrawal, remain in effect until all such Liabilities and all such expenses shall have been paid in full.
12.    Subsequent Guaranties. No subsequent guarantee by the Guarantor or any other person of the Liabilities shall be deemed to be in lieu of or to supersede this Guarantee, unless otherwise expressly provided therein.
13.    Covenants of Sunoco LP.
(a)    Repayment or Refinancing of Supported Debt. Without the prior written consent of the Guarantor, Sunoco LP shall not be entitled to (i) repay any principal amount of the Supported Debt or (ii) refinance through an exchange offer or otherwise all or any portion of the Supported Debt, unless, in the case of (ii) above, Sunoco LP (x) simultaneously replaces the Supported Debt with at least an equivalent amount of new indebtedness (such new indebtedness, the “Refinancing Supported Debt”) with substantially similar covenants providing for no earlier amortization of principal than the amortization contemplated by the applicable maturity date of the Supported Debt (any such date, a “Maturity Date”) and (y) permits the Guarantor, at its sole discretion, to provide a guarantee of collection of the Refinancing Supported Debt, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 
(b)    Extinguishment of Supported Debt. Sunoco LP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to extinguish any applicable outstanding Supported Debt on the Maturity Date. Sunoco LP shall release the Guarantor from any liability or obligation under this Guarantee related to the Supported Debt on the applicable Maturity Date for such Supported Debt and shall enter into and execute such documents and instruments as the Guarantor may reasonably request in order to evidence such release.
(c)    Finance Corp. Prior to the Maturity Date of the Supported Debt, Finance Corp shall continue to have no material assets or any liabilities, other than as a co-issuer of debt securities of Sunoco LP.

4

14.    Covenants of Guarantor.
(a)    Net Worth. The Guarantor hereby represents to Sunoco LP that it will maintain net assets (excluding any interest in Sunoco LP held by the Guarantor) with a fair market value equal to or greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Supported Debt and in the event the Guarantor disposes of, transfers, or conveys any of its assets, except with respect to distributions permitted in clause (b) below, it shall promptly replace such assets with assets having a net fair market value (after taking into account any indebtedness to be assumed by the Guarantor in connection with any such transaction) substantially equivalent to or greater than the net fair market value (after taking into account any indebtedness to be assumed by the Guarantor in connection with any such transaction) of the disposed assets. Guarantor shall provide a certificate to Sunoco LP and the Trustee on an annual basis (beginning on the first anniversary of this Guarantee and until the Liabilities have been paid in full) providing that it is in full compliance with this Section 14(a).  
(b)    Distributions. The Guarantor shall be entitled to make distributions of available cash with respect to its equity interests provided the Guarantor shall not make a distribution of cash or property to the extent such distribution would constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined in Section 16) in light of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or otherwise impair the Guarantor’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Guarantee.
15.    Covenants of Sunoco LP and Guarantor to Maintain Tax Treatment. For so long as this Guarantee is outstanding, Sunoco LP and the Guarantor hereby agree that:
(a)    Unless otherwise required by law, it is the intent of the Parties to treat the Guarantor as the sole partner bearing the economic risk of loss with respect to the Supported Debt pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.752-2; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Sunoco LP shall not be required to take such position in any taxable year to the extent Sunoco LP determines in good faith after consulting with tax counsel that such position is not supported by current law or actual facts and circumstances.
(b)    It is the intent of the Parties, that the distribution to the Guarantor by Sunoco LP of the Cash Consideration be treated as a distribution under Section 731 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and neither Sunoco LP nor any partner of Sunoco LP shall take a position inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by law; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Sunoco LP shall not be required to take such position in any taxable year to the extent Sunoco LP determines in good faith after consulting with tax counsel that such position is not supported by current law or actual facts and circumstances.
(c)    Neither Sunoco LP nor the Guarantor shall (i) modify this Guarantee so as to eliminate or limit the ultimate recourse liability of the Guarantor with respect to the Supported Debt, or (ii) except as required by the Senior Notes Indenture, cause or permit any other corporation, partnership, person or entity to assume, guarantee, indemnify against or otherwise incur any liability with respect to any Supported Debt.

5

(d)    In the event a subsidiary of Sunoco LP that is regarded as separate and apart from Sunoco LP for U.S. federal income tax purposes becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) of the Supported Debt or otherwise guarantees the Supported Debt, the Guarantor agrees to indemnify such subsidiary for any amounts that the subsidiary is required to pay pursuant to its guarantee of the Supported Debt.
(e)    In the event a partner of Sunoco LP guarantees or otherwise incurs any liability with respect to the Supported Debt, the Guarantor agrees to indemnify such partner for any amounts that the partner is required to pay pursuant to its guarantee or liability with respect to the Supported Debt.
16.    Fraudulent Conveyance. Notwithstanding any provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, it is intended that this Guarantee not constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined below). Consequently, the Guarantor agrees that if this Guarantee would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Guarantee shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Guarantee to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Guarantee shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes of this Section 16, the term “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.
17.    Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Guarantee is for the benefit only of the Guarantor, the Sunoco Issuers, the Trustee, the Holders and the subsidiaries and partners of Sunoco LP described in Sections 15(d) and 15(e), and is not intended to confer upon any other third party any rights or remedies hereunder, and shall not be construed as for the benefit of any other third party.
18.    Notices. Any and all notices, requests or other communications hereunder shall be given in writing and delivered by: 1) regular, overnight, registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), with first class postage prepaid; 2) hand delivery; 3) facsimile transmission; or 4) overnight courier service, if to the Guarantor, at the following address or facsimile number for the Guarantor:

19.    Separability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph, subsection or section of this Guarantee be judicially declared to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Guarantee, and the part or parts of this Guarantee so held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom, and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or parts had never been included herein.
20.    Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signatures are physically attached to the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
21.    Governing Law. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
22.    Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Guarantor irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, for the purposes of any proceeding arising out of this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees that no such proceeding relating to this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought by it except in such courts). The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any proceeding arising out of 

7

this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby in any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, or that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Guarantor also agrees that any final and non appealable judgment against it in connection with any proceeding shall be conclusive and binding on it and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR TO DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
23.    Entire Agreement. This Guarantee constitutes the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties related thereto.
