Section 2.1  Company.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
             -------
the Members shall continue and jointly operate the Company, a limited liability
company organized pursuant to the Michigan Act, which shall engage in the
business described herein.

Section 2.2  Place of Business.  The principal place of business of the Company
             -----------------
shall be in Troy, Michigan or such other place as the Management Committee
may from time to time determine. The registered office of the Company in the
State of Michigan shall be 601 Abbott Road, East Lansing, Michigan 48823 and the

      (a)   Quarterly Reviews.  Insofar as practicable, meetings of the
            -----------------
      Management Committee shall be held on dates that correspond to the
      completion dates for Objectives and in any event no less often than once
      every calendar quarter.  At such meetings, the Management Committee will
      review  progress to date and determine  whether any Objectives that were
      scheduled  to be completed  since its last meeting have been  satisfied,
      and determine whether to approve a Disbursement and Commitment  Schedule
      for the next succeeding calendar quarter.

      (b)   Review of Objectives.  For each Objective, the President shall
            --------------------
      promptly notify the Management Committee as to whether such Objective has
      been satisfied prior to its scheduled completion date as soon as the
      President has such information and in any event no later than 30 days
      following the scheduled completion date for such Objective.  If, within
      10 Business Days following receipt of such notification (or, if no such
      notification is given, within 10 Business Days following the applicable
      scheduled completion date), the Management Committee shall not have
      determined that the Company has met such Objective, the President shall,
      by no later than 45 days following the scheduled completion date for such
      Objective, submit to the Management Committee for approval a written
      recovery plan, including any proposed revisions to such Objective.  The
      Management Committee shall review such plan and the President shall
      consult with the Management Committee as requested.

Section 2.5  Reduced Funding.  The Company shall use diligent efforts to
             ---------------
minimize costs and expenditures, and all funding for the Company, including
funding approved pursuant to the then-current Disbursement and Commitment
Schedule, shall be subject to the Reduced Funding Guidelines set forth on
Exhibit C effective immediately upon the earlier of (i) the date on which the
Management Committee determines that the Company has not met such Objective, or
(ii) the expiration of the applicable period for making such determination under
Section 2.4(b) above. If (x) the Management Committee shall not have approved a
recovery plan within 28 days after its submission or (y) the President shall not
have submitted a recovery plan pursuant to Section 2.4(b) within 30 days
following the scheduled completion date for such Objective, the Members shall
follow the deadlock procedures set forth in Section 2.7 and reduced funding for
the Company shall continue as provided in this Section until such time as the
deadlock is resolved or a Buyout Closing occurs, which ever is earlier.

Section 2.6  Valuation Procedures.  Any determination of Fair Market Value under
             --------------------
this Agreement shall be made as follows:

      (a)   The Members will first seek to agree on such Fair Market Value.

      (b)   If the Members cannot agree on the Fair Market Value within 30 days
      of an event giving rise to the need to determine Fair Market Value, OBC
      will promptly select an independent investment banking firm (an "IB Firm")
      of recognized international standing (the "First Appraiser") and CTTV will
      select an IB Firm (the "Second Appraiser" and, together with the First
      Appraiser, the "Appraisers") to determine the Fair Market Value. The fees
      and expenses of each Appraiser will be borne by each of the Members that
      have retained such Appraiser.

      (c)   Within 45 days of the date of selection of the Appraisers, each of
      the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser will determine the Fair
      Market Value and will notify the Members of such determination (specifying
      the Fair Market Value as determined by such Appraiser and setting forth,
      in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination).  If the Fair
      Market Value as determined by one Appraiser is not more than 110% of the
      Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser, the Fair Market
      Value will be the average of the two amounts.  In all other cases, the
      Appraisers will jointly select a third IB Firm (the "Third Appraiser").
      The fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser will be borne by the Members
      equally.

      (d)   The Third Appraiser will, within 45 days of its retention, determine
      its view of the Fair Market Value, and the Fair Market Value will
      thereupon be the average of (i) the Fair Market Value as determined by the
      Third Appraiser and (ii) whichever of the Fair Market Values as determined
      by the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser is closer to the Fair
      Market Value as determined by the Third Appraiser; provided that if Fair
      Market Values as determined by the First Appraiser and the Second
      Appraiser differ by the same amount from the Third Appraiser's
      determination of Fair Market Value, the Fair Market Value will be as
      determined by the Third Appraiser.  The determination of Fair Market
      Value in accordance with this Section 2.6 will be final, binding and
      conclusive upon the Members.

      (e)   Each Member will share with the other Member any written
      communication it has with the Third Appraiser and will not communicate
      other than in writing with the Third Appraiser without giving the other
      Member an opportunity to be present at any such communication.

      (f)   The aggregate Preferred Interest Amount(s) shall be treated as
      indebtedness of the Company in any determination of Fair Market Value
      under this Agreement.

Section 2.7  Deadlock.
             --------

      (a)   If at any time there is an inability of the Members to agree,
      despite good faith efforts to reach agreement, on a course of action in
      respect of any material matter and such inability persists for at least
      30 days after such inability first arises and if any Member reasonably
      believes that such inability to agree has had or is reasonably expected
      to result in a Material Adverse Effect (a "Deadlock Event"), then either
      Member may request that such Deadlock Event be immediately submitted for
      resolution to the Chairman of ECD and the President of CTTV (or such other
      senior executive of CTTV or its Affiliates as CTTV may designate).  Such
      request shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by the requesting
      Member's statement of the matter and its position with respect thereto.
      The other Member shall have the right to submit to such officers its own
      statement of the matter and its position with respect thereto.

      (b)   If such matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the
      submission of such matter to such officers, then:

            (i)   no action will be taken with respect to such matter and the
            status quo shall be maintained in respect thereof, and

            (ii)  either Member (the "Electing Member") who is not a Defaulting
            Member may declare a deadlock (a "Deadlock") by delivering a written
            notice (a "Deadlock Notice") to the other Member at any time for a
            period of sixty (60) days beginning at the end of such 30-day period
            stating that a Deadlock has occurred and specifying the valuation of
            the Company (as to which the aggregate Preferred Interest Amount(s)
            shall be treated as a liability of the Company) (the "Designated
            Valuation") based on which the Electing Member (or any Affiliate of
            the Electing Member designated by it) agrees that it will either
            purchase for cash all of the other Member's (the "Accepting Member")
            Interest or sell for cash all of the Electing Member's Interest to
            the Accepting Member (or any Affiliate of the Accepting Member
            designated by it); provided that if the Members are unable to agree
            whether such persistent inability to agree has had or will have a
            Material Adverse Effect, such question shall be determined in the
            affirmative pursuant to Section 11.11 before any purchase of a
            Member's Interest may occur pursuant to this Section 2.7. If the
            Accepting Member has reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding the
            ability of the Electing Member to pay the Deadlock Price (as
            hereinafter defined) pursuant to any Deadlock Notice delivered by
            the Electing Member, the Accepting Member may demand Adequate
            Assurance of Performance from the Electing Member. "Adequate
            Assurance of Performance" shall mean evidence demonstrating to the
            reasonable satisfaction of the Member making such demand that the
            other Member has sufficient funds available to it to allow it to
            pay in cash the Deadlock Price when due in accordance with the
            applicable Deadlock Notice. In the event the Electing Member shall
            fail to deliver Adequate Assurance of Performance within thirty (30)
            days of any such demand, such Deadlock Notice delivered by the
            Electing Member shall be deemed to be void and of no further force
            or effect. In the event more than one Deadlock Notice shall be
            delivered with respect to any Deadlock, the Deadlock Notice
            specifying the higher Deadlock Price shall control and any other
            Deadlock Notice shall be disregarded (unless the Deadlock Notice
            specifying the higher Deadlock Price shall be deemed void pursuant
            to the preceding sentence, in which case such other Deadlock Notice
            shall not be disregarded).

      (c)   The Accepting Member shall have forty-five (45) days from the
      receipt of the Deadlock Notice to notify the Electing Member in writing
      of the Accepting Member's decision to either purchase the Electing
      Member's Interest or sell the Accepting Member's Interest, in each case
      for the applicable Deadlock Price (the "Election Notice").  If the
      Accepting Member does not deliver an Election Notice within such forty-
      five (45) days, it shall be obligated to sell its Interest to the Electing
      Member at the applicable Deadlock Price.  In the event the Accepting
      Member shall elect to purchase the Electing Member's Interest pursuant to
      the first sentence of this Section 2.7(c), and the Electing Member has
      reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding the ability of the Accepting
      Member to pay the Deadlock Price, the Electing Member may demand Adequate
      Assurance of Performance from the Accepting Member.  In the event the
      Accepting Member shall fail to deliver

      Adequate Assurance of Performance within thirty (30) days of any such
      demand, such election to purchase shall be deemed to be an election to
      sell and the Accepting Member shall be obligated to sell its Interest
      pursuant to such Deadlock Notice at the applicable Deadlock Price. If the
      selling Member is the holder of a Preferred Interest, the purchasing
      Member shall be obligated to pay the Deadlock Price plus the Preferred
      Interest Amount with respect to the Selling Member. In the event of any
      purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Deadlock Price shall
      be payable in cash.

      (d)   "Deadlock Price" means a price equal to (i) the Designated Valuation
      multiplied by (ii) the Percentage Interest of the selling Member;

      Notice in which it agrees to sell its Interest pursuant to Section 2.7(c),
      at the Accepting Member's option, such Election Notice may include an
      irrevocable election that the Deadlock Price shall instead mean a price
      equal to (i) Fair Market Value of the Company (calculated in accordance
      with Section 2.6) multiplied by (ii) the Percentage Interest of the
      selling Member.  If such an election is made, within thirty (30) days
      after such determination of the Deadlock Price, the Electing Member may
      by written notice to the Accepting Member elect to (x) purchase the
      Accepting Member's Interest at such Deadlock Price (any such notice, a
      "FMV Confirmation") or (y) irrevocably withdraw its Deadlock Notice
      with respect to the applicable Deadlock Event.

      (e)   Within thirty (30) days after identification of the purchasing
      Member pursuant to subsection (c) above (or, if applicable, the date the
      Electing Member delivers a FMV Confirmation), the selling Member shall
      deliver its Interest, free and clear of all Liens (other than any Lien
      created under any financing to which the Company is a party and any Lien
      granted to the other Member pursuant to this Agreement), together with
      duly executed written instruments of transfer with respect thereto, in
      form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchasing Member or its
      designee, against payment of the applicable Deadlock Price (plus the
      selling Member's Preferred Interest Amount, if applicable).

      (f)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer
      of the selling Member's Interest shall occur pursuant to this Section 2.7
      unless and until any and all necessary consents and approvals have been
      obtained from any Governmental Body with authority with respect thereto,
      including any required approvals under the HSR Act. The Members agree to
      cooperate and to cause their Affiliates to cooperate in the preparation
      and filing of any and all reports or other submissions required in
      connection with obtaining such consents and approvals.

      (g)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event
      shall a Deadlock Event be deemed to result from the refusal of either
      party or any of its Affiliates to agree or consent to any amendment,
      modification or waiver of or under this Agreement or any other agreement
      between the parties or their respective Affiliates.

                               CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Section 3.1  Members' Capital Contributions and Percentage Interests.
             -------------------------------------------------------

      (a)   CTTV and OBC shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Company in
      securing funding for its operations from sources other than CTTV and OBC.
      If despite such efforts the Company is unable to obtain such funding on
      terms acceptable to the Members, subject to Section 3.2, CTTV and OBC
      shall be responsible for making Capital Contributions, as are required to
      fund the Company's operations in accordance with the applicable Approved
      Annual Budgets, but only to the extent such funding requirements exceed
      cash available from the Company's operations.  The parties acknowledge
      that (a) in Section 3.1(a) of the Prior Operating Agreement, CTTV agreed
      to contribute a fixed amount of cash in order to fund the Company's
      operations during the Limited Production Phase (as such term is defined in
      the Prior Operating Agreement) (the "Original Funding Commitment") and (b)
      as of September 30, 2004, the aggregate amount of cash so contributed to
      the Company by CTTV was $143,585,000 (the "September Number").  The
      parties agree that CTTV will contribute an amount equal to the Remaining
      Funding Commitment (as hereinafter defined) on substantially the same
      terms as prior contributions by CTTV pursuant to the Original Funding
      Commitment.  The term "Remaining Funding Commitment" shall mean an amount
      equal to (x) $160,000,000 minus (y) the September Number minus (z) the
      amount of any contributions made by CTTV pursuant to the Original Funding
      Commitment between September 30, 2004 and the date of this Agreement.  At
      all times after such time as CTTV shall have satisfied the Remaining
      Funding Commitment, CTTV and OBC shall fund the costs and expenses
      necessary in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.  The
      Members' obligations to make Capital Contributions are subject to Section
      3.2.  The Members acknowledge that the initial Book Value of the
      intellectual property and know how contributed by OBC pursuant to the
      Technology Agreement as in effect on July 17, 2001, was, as set forth in
      such agreement, equal to $160,000,000 plus the difference between CTTV's
      Capital Account and OBC's Capital Account as of July 17, 2001 and that,
      taking into account all Capital Account adjustments made as of the date
      of this Agreement, such Book Value has been included in the balance of
      OBC's Capital Account.

      (b)   Percentage Interests. The Percentage Interests assigned to the
            --------------------
      Members in consideration of their Capital Contributions heretofore made
      and CTTV's agreement to contribute an additional amount equal to the
      Remaining Funding Commitment are as follows:

                   Member                  Percentage Interest
                   -----                   -------------------
                   CTTV                    50%

                   OBC                     50%

      The Management Committee shall amend the foregoing table of Members and
      Percentage

                                      AMENDED AND RESTATED OPERATING AGREEMENT
                                                                   COBASYS LLC

      Interests from time to time as necessary to reflect any admission of
      additional or substituted Members, in each case as permitted herein, and
      to reflect any adjustment of the Members' Percentage Interests upon
      conversion of Preferred Interests. Except as otherwise required by
      the foregoing sentence, no adjustment to the Capital Account of a Member
      in accordance with Section 3.8 shall affect the Percentage Interest of
      such Member.

Section 3.2  Funding Alternatives.  In the event the Members shall agree that
             --------------------
any Capital Contribution shall be made, by the approval of a Disbursement and
Commitment Schedule, from the date CTTV shall have contributed an amount equal
to the Remaining Funding Commitment until January 1, 2008 and ECD and OBC fail
to fund their share of such Capital Contribution, CTTV may at its option
purchase a Preferred Interest in the Company in an amount equal to the Capital
Contribution that OBC and ECD failed to fund. Any purchase of Preferred Interest
by CTTV may, at its option, also include CTTV's share of such Capital
Contribution. In no event shall CTTV be obligated to purchase any Preferred
Interests pursuant to this Section 3.2 after December 31, 2007. At all times on
or after January 1, 2008, in the event the Members shall agree that any Capital
Contribution shall be made, each Member shall use diligent efforts to meet its
funding obligations in cash from its own corporate resources and ECD shall use
diligent efforts to cause OBC to meet its funding requirements in cash from
ECD's corporate resources. If (a) OBC and ECD reasonably determine that, despite
such efforts, OBC will not be able to fund in cash its share of the funding
required, and (b) CTTV shall so request in writing, OBC and ECD shall diligently
explore other reasonable sources of OBC's share of such funding, including
equity or debt financing of OBC or ECD from independent third parties. ECD shall
be deemed to have made a reasonable determination for purposes of the foregoing
sentence in the event ECD shall have delivered to CTTV a written description of
such determination setting forth in reasonable detail the basis therefor and
signed by each director of ECD that is an Independent Director. Neither OBC nor
CTTV shall be responsible for making any Capital Contributions otherwise
required pursuant to Section 3.1(a) that are funded with Preferred Interests
purchased by CTTV pursuant to this Section 3.2. In no event shall OBC purchase
or otherwise acquire any Preferred Interest (except as contemplated by Section
3.5). Prior to January 1, 2008, OBC shall not be deemed to be in default of its
obligations under this Agreement based on its failure to make its share of
Capital Contributions as contemplated by this Section 3.2. At all times on or
after January 1, 2008, OBC shall not be deemed to be in default of its
obligations under this Agreement provided ECD's Independent Directors have made
a reasonable determination of OBC's inability to meet its funding obligations
and shall have delivered to CTTV a written description of such determination as
contemplated by this Section 3.2.

Section 3.3  Additional Capital Contributions.  Subject to Section 3.2, in the
             --------------------------------
event that the Members shall agree that Capital Contributions in addition to the
Capital Contributions provided for in Section 3.1 shall be made, each Member
shall contribute to the capital of the Company an amount calculated by
multiplying such Member's Percentage Interest by the aggregate amount of
additional Capital Contributions so determined by the Members.

Section 3.4  Payment of Capital Contributions.  The Management Committee shall
             --------------------------------
issue or cause to be issued a written request to each Member for payment of any
Capital Contributions to be made in accordance with Section 3.3 at such times
and in such amounts as the Members shall agree, provided that the due date for
any such Contributions shall be not less than 10 Business

Days following the date of such request. All Capital Contributions received
by the Company after the date specified in such written request shall be
accompanied by interest on such overdue amounts, which interest shall be
payable to the Company and shall accrue from and after such specified date until
paid at an annual rate equal to 2% over the Prime Rate.

Section 3.5  Option to Purchase Preferred Interest.
             -------------------------------------

      (a)   CTTV hereby grants to OBC the right to purchase from CTTV (the
      "Option"), at any time during the period from and including January 1,
      2008 until the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date of
      the Preferred Interest, up to an aggregate of one-half (1/2) of CTTV's
      outstanding Preferred Interest. The purchase price with respect to any
      portion of such outstanding Preferred Interest (a "Portion") shall be the
      sum of (i) an amount equal to CTTV's Preferred Capital Contribution with
      respect to the Portion, plus (ii) the "Option Premium" (as hereinafter
      defined), less (iii) an amount equal to the sum of any Preferred Return
      previously paid with respect to such Portion. The Option Premium shall be
      an amount determined by crediting the Preferred Capital Contribution with
      respect to such Portion with a return calculated in the same manner as
      simple interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum calculated on
      the basis of a 365-day year. The purchase price shall be paid at closing
      in immediately available funds.

      (b)   If OBC purchases a Preferred Interest from CTTV, OBC shall
      succeed to a ratable portion of the Preferred Adjusted Capital, Preferred
      Return, Unpaid Preferred Return, and Unallocated Preferred Return in
      respect of such transferred portion of the Preferred Interest. In
      accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(a) hereof, any distributions on
      the Preferred Interests held by CTTV and OBC shall be made ratably in
      accordance with the respective Preferred Interest Amounts of OBC and CTTV,
      respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, as provided in Section 4.1(b),
      if the Company makes a distribution exceeding the amount of the Unpaid
      Preferred Return with respect to the Preferred Interest of OBC and CTTV,
      then the balance of any such distribution shall be ratably applied to the
      reduction of the Preferred Adjusted Capital of OBC and CTTV in accordance
      with their respective Preferred Interest Amounts, until the Preferred
      Adjusted Capital of each such Member has been reduced to zero and as a
      result all Preferred Interests have been redeemed.

      (c)   Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no
      acquisition by OBC of a Preferred Interest pursuant to the exercise of the
      Option by OBC shall (i) entitle OBC or any transferee to any additional
      votes under Section 5.2(c) by virtue of its ownership of a Preferred
      Interest, whether previously owned by CTTV or otherwise, or (ii) divest
      CTTV of such votes.

      (d)   No Member shall make any Capital Contributions to the Company
      except pursuant to this Article 3. No Member shall be entitled to payment
      by the Company of interest on its Capital Contributions.

Section 3.6  Member Loans; Preferred Interests.
             ---------------------------------

      (a)   With the prior approval of the other Member, a Member may lend to
      the Company funds needed by the Company for working capital purposes
      (which shall not include amounts due under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3).  An
      account shall be established and maintained for such lending Member
      separate from such Member's Capital Account, such account being herein
      referred to as such Member's "Loan Account."  Any Loan made by a Member
      to the Company shall be credited to such Member's Loan Account.  Interest
      on any Loan made by a Member to the Company shall accrue on the unpaid
      balance thereof at the Prime Rate and shall be repaid by the Company prior
      to any distributions to the Members pursuant to Section 4.1.  A credit
      balance in the Loan Account of a Member shall constitute a liability of
      the Company and shall not constitute a part of such Member's Capital
      Account.

      (b)   Preferred Interests.
            -------------------

            (i)    Preferred Interest. The original amount of a Preferred
                   ------------------
            Interest shall equal the amount of the Capital Contribution made in
            consideration of such Preferred Interest pursuant to Section 3.2 of
            the Agreement.

            (ii)   Mandatory Redemption. The Preferred Interest shall be
                   --------------------
            redeemed by the Company on the Maturity Date at a redemption price
            equal to the Member's Preferred Interest Amount as of the Maturity
            Date.  If the Company shall fail to redeem the Preferred Interest as
            required in this Section 3.6(b)(ii), then, not in limitation of any
            rights available to the Preferred Member in law or equity, the rate
            used to calculate the Preferred Return for all purposes of this
            Agreement shall thereafter be the Prime Rate plus 4%. For the
            avoidance of doubt, such increase in the rate used to calculate the
            Preferred Return shall be prospective and shall not be applied
            retroactively with respect to periods prior to the Maturity Date.

            (iii)  Preferred Interest Distributions. The Preferred Interest
                   --------------------------------
            holder is entitled to receive distributions in respect of such
            interest as provided in Articles 4 and 9 of this Agreement.

            (iv)   Rank. Without the prior written consent of all holders of
                   ----
            Preferred Interests, the Company shall not issue any class or series
            of Interest in the Company that is senior to the Preferred Interest
            with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation,
            dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether
            voluntary or involuntary, sale of substantially all of the Company's
            assets or sale of the Company (each, a "Liquidation Event").

            (v)    Liquidation Preference. As provided in Section 9.3(c), upon
                   ----------------------
            the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, each holder of a Preferred
            Interest shall be entitled to receive, before any assets are
            distributed to the Members, an amount equal to the Preferred
            Interest Amount with respect to such holder.

            (vi)   Conversion.

                   (A)   Optional Conversion.  Upon the Company's failure to
                         -------------------
                   redeem the Preferred Interest on the Maturity Date, the
                   holder of a Preferred Interest shall have the right to
                   convert its Preferred Interest Amount into additional
                   Interest in the Company, based on the Fair Market Value on
                   the date of such conversion.  Upon the occurrence and during
                   the continuance of any Default by OBC hereunder, CTTV shall
                   have the right to convert its Preferred Interest Amount into
                   additional Interest in the Company, based on the Fair Market
                   Value on the date of such conversion.

                   (B)    Adjustment to Percentage Interests. In the event of
                          ----------------------------------
                   any conversion of Preferred Interests pursuant to this
                   Section 3.6(b)(vi), the Percentage Interests of the Members
                   shall be adjusted accordingly in accordance with Section
                   3.1(b).

            (vii)  Prohibition on Distributions.  As provided in Section 4.1,
                   ----------------------------
            at any time while any Preferred Interest shall be outstanding, the
            Company shall not make any distributions other than distributions
            on the Preferred Interest pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

Section 3.7  Capital Accounts.  The Company shall maintain a separate capital
             ----------------
account ("Capital Account") for each Member, which shall be maintained and
adjusted as described in Section 3.8.

Section 3.8  Capital Account Adjustments.
             ---------------------------

      (a)   Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
      each Member's Capital Account shall be maintained and adjusted in
      accordance with the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder,
      including without limitation (i) the adjustments permitted or required by
      Code Section 704(b) and (ii) the adjustments required to maintain Capital
      Accounts in accordance with the "substantial economic effect test" set
      forth in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b).

      (b)   A Member's Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of
      cash and the initial Book Value of any property contributed by such Member
      to the Company, (ii) such Member's allocable share of Profits, income and
      gain and (iii) the amount of any Company liabilities that are expressly
      assumed by such Member or that are secured by any Company property
      distributed to such Member.

      (c)   A Member's Capital Account shall be decreased by (1) the amount of
      cash and the Book Value of any Company property distributed to such Member
      pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, (2) such Member's allocable
      share of Losses, deductions and other losses and (3) the amount of any
      liabilities of such Member that are expressly assumed by the Company or
      that are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the
      Company.

      (d)   Upon the occurrence of certain events described in Treasury
      Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (including, for the avoidance of
      doubt, in connection with the

      liquidation of the Company), the Management Committee shall increase or
      decrease the Capital Accounts of the Members to reflect a revaluation of
      Company property on the Company's books and any unrealized gain or loss
      shall be allocated in accordance with Article 4; provided that no such
      adjustment shall be required if the Management Committee unanimously
      determines that such adjustment would be de minimis or would otherwise
      have no effect on the distributions (including liquidating distributions)
      to which each Member is entitled hereunder.

      (e)   The Capital Account of each Member shall be determined after giving
      effect to all transactions which have been effected prior to the time when
      such determination is made giving rise to the allocation of Profits and
      Losses and to all contributions and distributions theretofore made.  Any
      Person who acquires an Interest directly from a Member, or whose
      Percentage Interest shall be increased by means of a Disposition to
      it of all or part of the Interest of another Member, shall have a Capital
      Account which includes all or part of the Capital Account balance of the
      Interest so acquired or Disposed of.

      (f)   Any fees, salary or similar compensation payable to a Member
      pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed a guaranteed payment for
      federal income tax purposes and not a distribution to such Member for
      such purposes. Such payments to a Member shall not reduce the Capital
      Account of such Member, except to the extent of its distributive share of
      any Losses or other downward capital adjustment resulting from such
      payment.

      (g)   No Member with a deficit balance in its Capital Account shall have
      any obligation to the Company or any other Member to restore such deficit
      balance. In addition, no venturer or partner in any Member shall have any
      liability to the Company or any other Member for any deficit balance in
      such venturer's or partner's Capital Account in the Member in which it is
      a partner or venturer. Furthermore, a deficit Capital Account balance of a
      Member (or a deficit Capital Account of a venturer or partner in a Member)
      shall not be deemed to be a Company asset or Company property.

      (h)   In the event of the conversion of a Preferred Interest pursuant to
      Section 3.6, Capital Accounts shall be adjusted and maintained to reflect
      such conversion in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulations under
      Sections 704, 721, and 761 of the Code addressing partnership
      noncompensatory options (the "NCO Regulations") or such other reasonable
      method established by the Management Committee consistent with the
      Members' economic agreement; provided, that the NCO Regulations shall be
      applied (pursuant to their terms) from and after their adoption in
      temporary or final form.

Section 4.1  Distributions.  Except as provided in Article 9 upon dissolution of
             -------------
the Company, Distributable Cash Flow shall be distributed at such time and in
such amounts as the Management Committee may determine as follows (provided,
that the Company shall be required to make distributions under Section 4.1(b) no
less frequently than the last Business Day of each year, to the extent of
Distributable Cash Flow computed as of such time):

      (a)   first, if the Company shall have outstanding any debt owing to its
      Members, then to such Members in repayment of such debt;

      (b)   second, if the Company shall have outstanding any Preferred
      Interest, then to the Preferred Member(s) in payment of (i) first, the
      Unpaid Preferred Return, and (ii) then, the Preferred Adjusted Capital;

      Percentage Interests, determined as of the date of such distribution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no distribution may

Deficit with respect to such Member.

Section 4.2  Profits, Losses and Distributive Shares of Tax Items.
             ----------------------------------------------------
      (a)   Profits.  Except as provided in Section 4.2(c), Profits for any
            -------
      Fiscal Year or other period will be allocated to the Members as follows:

            (i)   first, to the Preferred Member(s), if any, in proportion to
            their Preferred Interest Amounts, until the cumulative allocations
            of Profits to such Member(s) under this Section 4.2(a)(i) for all
            periods equals the cumulative allocations of Losses made under
            Section 4.2(b)(ii) for all periods;

            (ii)  second, to the Preferred Member(s), if any, in proportion to
            the Unallocated Preferred Return(s) of such Member(s), until the
            cumulative allocations of Profits in respect of the Preferred
            Interest held by each such Member under this Section 4.2(a)(ii) for
            all periods equals the cumulative Preferred Returns in respect of
            such interest for all periods;

            (iii) then, to the Members in accordance with their Percentage
            Interests.

                                                                   COBASYS LLC

            (i)   First, to the Members in proportion to their respective Common
            Adjusted Capital Accounts, until such time that the Adjusted
            Capital Account of the Preferred Member(s), if any, has been reduced
            to an amount equal to such Member(s)' Preferred Adjusted Capital
            plus Unpaid Preferred Return (solely for the purposes of this
            Section 4.2(b)(i), each Member's "Common Adjusted Capital Account"
            shall equal such Member's Adjusted Capital Account less the
            Preferred Adjusted Capital and Unpaid Preferred Return, if any,
            attributable to such Member);

            (ii)  Second, to the Preferred Member(s) if any, in proportion to
            their positive Adjusted Capital Account balances, until the Adjusted
            Capital Account of each such Member has been reduced to zero;

            (iii) And third, to the Members in accordance with their respective
            Percentage Interests.

      (c)   Special Allocations.  Except as otherwise provided in this
            -------------------
      Agreement, the following special allocations will be made in the following
      order and priority:

            (i)   Company Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other
                  -------------------------------
            provision of this Section, if there is a net decrease in Minimum
            Gain during any taxable year or other period for which allocations
            are made, the Members will be specially allocated items of Company
            income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent
            periods).  The amount allocated to each Member under this Section
            shall be an amount equal to the total net decrease in the Member's
            Minimum Gain Share at the end of the immediately preceding taxable
            year.  The items to be allocated will be determined in accordance
            with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2).  This Section
            4.2(c)(i) is intended to comply with the "partnership minimum gain
            chargeback" requirements of the Treasury Regulations and the
            exceptions thereto and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

            (ii)  Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback.
                  -----------------------------------------------
            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (other than
            Section 4.2(c)(i) which shall be applied first), if there is a net
            decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any taxable
            year or other period for which allocations are made, any Member
            with a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
            attributable to any Member Nonrecourse Debt (determined under
            Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of
            the year shall be specially allocated items of Company income and
            gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in
            proportion to the portion of such Member's share of the net decrease
            in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain with respect to such
            Member Nonrecourse Debt that is allocable to the Disposition of
            Company property subject to such Member Nonrecourse Debt. The items
            to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury
            Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). This Section is intended to comply
            with the "partner minimum gain chargeback" requirements of the
            Treasury Regulations and the exceptions thereto and shall be
            interpreted-consistently therewith.

                                                                   COBASYS LLC

            (iii) Qualified Income Offset.  A Member who unexpectedly receives
                  -----------------------
            any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury
            Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) will be
            specially allocated items of Company income and gain in an amount
            and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
            Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the
            Member as quickly as possible.

            (iv)  Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any
                  ----------------------
            taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be
            allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective
            Percentage Interests in the Company.

            (v)   Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Notwithstanding anything to
                  -----------------------------
            the contrary in this Agreement, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions
            for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made
            will be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss
            with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which the Member
            Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury
            Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

            (vi)  Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to
                  ----------------------------
            the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset under Code Sections
            734(b) is required to be taken into account in determining capital
            accounts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m),
            the amount of the adjustment to the capital accounts will be treated
            as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the
            asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis), and the gain
            or loss will be specially allocated to the Members in a manner
            consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are
            required to be adjusted under Treasury Regulations Section
            1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

            (vii) Depreciation Recapture.  In the event there is any recapture
                  ----------------------
            of Depreciation, the allocation of gain or income attributable to
            such recapture shall be shared by the Members in the same proportion
            as the deduction for such Depreciation was shared.

            (viii) Reallocation.  To the extent Losses allocated to a Member
                   ------------
            would cause the Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit
            at the end of any Fiscal Year, the Losses will be allocated to the
            other Member.  If any Member receives an allocation of Losses
            otherwise allocable to the other Member in accordance with this
            Section, such Member shall be allocated Profits in subsequent Fiscal
            Years necessary to reverse the effect of such allocation of Losses.
            Such allocation of Profits (if any) shall be made before any
            allocations under Section 4.2(a) but after any other allocations
            under Section 4.2(c).

            (ix)  Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Sections
                  --------------------
            4.2(c)(i) through (vii) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended
            to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Section
            1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Accordingly, the Management Committee is
            authorized to further allocate Profits, Losses, and other items
            among the Members so as to prevent the Regulatory

                                       - 26 -

                                      AMENDED AND RESTATED OPERATING AGREEMENT
                                                                   COBASYS LLC

            Allocations from distorting the manner in which Company
            distributions would be divided among the Members under Sections 4.1
            and 9.3 but for application of the Regulatory Allocations; taking
            into account whether Regulatory Allocations in subsequent periods
            may offset Regulatory Allocations made in the current and prior
            periods. In general, the reallocation will be accomplished by
            specially allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income,
            gain, loss and deduction, to the extent they exist, among the
            Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the
            special allocations to each Member is zero. The Management Committee
            will have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable
            manner that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the related
            Treasury Regulations.

            (x)   Guaranteed Payment.  If any amount distributable to a Member
                  ------------------
            under Articles 4 or 9 hereof is required to be treated as a
            "guaranteed payment" within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the
            Code, the deduction for such guaranteed payment shall be allocated
            among the Members so that the net Profits or Losses recognized by
            each Member from the Company, taking into account such guaranteed
            payment and the Member's allocable share of Company Profits and
            Losses, is equal to the net Profits and Losses that such Members
            would have recognized if such guaranteed payment were treated
            instead as a distribution of Company Profits and such Company
            Profits had been allocated in accordance with Article 4 hereof.

            (xi)  Extraordinary Gain/Loss Allocations.  Profit or Loss from the
                  -----------------------------------
            sale of the Company's assets (other than in the ordinary course of
            business), the revaluation of the Company's assets as provided for
            in Section 3.8(d), and all Profits and Losses (and if necessary,
            items of income, gain, loss, and deduction) arising in the taxable
            year(s) in which the liquidation and winding up of the Company
            occurs, shall be allocated among the Members in amounts sufficient
            to place the Members' relative Capital Account balances, as nearly
            as possible, in the same proportion as their respective Percentage
            Interests (the "Pro Rata Allocation"); provided, that (i) to the
            extent possible, such allocations shall first be made among the
            Members in a manner such that each Preferred Member's Capital
            Account balance is increased, if necessary, to an amount equal to
            the sum of the Preferred Adjusted Capital, the Unpaid Preferred
            Return, and the Unallocated Preferred Return amounts, if any, with
            respect to such Member (together, the "Preferred Entitlement
            Amount"), and (ii) after performing the allocations required in the
            foregoing clause (i), the Pro Rata Allocation shall be performed
            by disregarding the Preferred Entitlement Amount(s), if any,
            reflected in the Preferred Member(s)' Capital Account(s).

      (d)   Federal Income Tax Allocations.
            ------------------------------
            (i)   Except as provided in the following clause (ii) or as required
            by the Code or Treasury Regulations, all items of income, gain,
            loss, deduction, credit, and any other items of the Company shall
            be allocated among the Members for federal and state income tax
            purposes in the same manner as such items are allocated for
            purposes of allocating Profits and Losses.

                                                                   COBASYS LLC

            (ii)  In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the related
            Treasury Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect
            to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, solely
            for tax purposes, will be allocated among the Members using the
            "Traditional Method" as set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-3(b),
            unless otherwise determined by the Management Committee, acting
            unanimously. If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted,
            subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with
            respect to that asset will take account of any variation between
            the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes
            and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c)
            and the related Treasury Regulations. Allocations under this Section
            are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will
            not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any
            Member's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items
            or distributions under any provision of this Agreement.

      (e)   Member Acknowledgment. The Members agree to be bound by the
            ---------------------
      provisions of this Section in reporting their shares of Company income
      and loss for federal and state income tax purposes.

Section 4.3  Compliance with Code.  The foregoing provisions of this Article
             --------------------
relating to the allocation of Profits, Losses and other items for federal income
tax purposes are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections
1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent with such Treasury Regulations. The Management Committee will have
the discretion to allocate items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the
Members to ensure that this Article complies with such Treasury Regulations.

Section 4.4  Allocations upon Disposition of Interest.  Profits or Losses
             ----------------------------------------
attributable to any Interest which has been Disposed of shall be allocated (i)
to the transferor for the days prior to and including the date of the
Disposition; and (ii) to the transferee for the days subsequent to the date of
the Disposition.

Section 4.5  Tax Matters.
             -----------

      (a)   Tax Matters Member.  The tax matters partner for purposes of Section
            ------------------
      6231 of the Code (the "Tax Matters Member") shall be CTTV.  The Tax
      Matters Member is specifically directed and authorized to take whatever
      steps such Member, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable to
      perfect such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the
      Internal Revenue Service and taking such other action as may from time to
      time be required.  The Tax Matters Member shall not be liable to the
      Company or the other Members for any act or omission taken or suffered by
      it in its capacity as Tax Matters Member in good faith and in the belief
      that such act or omission is in accordance with the directions of the
      Members; provided that such act or omission is not in willful violation
      of this Agreement and does not constitute fraud or a willful violation
      of applicable Laws.

      (b)   Tax Returns.  After consultation and the consent of the other Member
            -----------
      and subject to Section 5.3 hereof, at the expense of the Company, the Tax
      Matters Member

      shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all tax returns (including
      amended returns) required to be filed by the Company. The Tax Matters
      Member shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Capital Accounts of
      the Members as described in Section 3.7. On or prior to the August 15

      Member shall provide to the other Member for its review a draft Form 1065
      of the Company and related Schedules K-1 of the Members for such Fiscal
      Year. At least twenty (20) days prior to filing any Company tax return,
      including any information returns, estimated returns and any other
      statement, report or form, with respect to United States federal income
      taxes, or any state or local income tax returns for jurisdictions in which
      the Company is treated as a partnership (each, a "Tax Return"), the Tax
      Matters Member shall provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other Member
      for its review. The Members agree not to take any position in their
      respective tax returns that is inconsistent with the Tax Returns filed by
      the Company. The Members intend that the Company shall be classified as a
      partnership for federal income tax purposes under Treasury Regulations
      Section 301.7701-3.

      (c)   Tax Elections. After consultation and consent of the other Member
            -------------
      (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and subject to Section
      5.3, the Tax Matters Member shall make any tax elections the Members agree
      to be appropriate to utilize the alternate test for economic effect
      contained in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) provided
      that the Company shall make (or continue in effect) the following
      elections (and any comparable state or local elections) effective from the
      Company's first taxable year:

            (i)   to amortize start-up expenditures, if any, over a 60-month
            period in accordance with Section 195 of the Code;

            (ii)  to amortize Company organizational expenses, if any, over a
            60-month period in accordance with Section 709(b) of the Code;

            (iii) To elect the most accelerated method of depreciation and
            amortization for any Company asset acquired by the Company;

            (iv)  To elect under Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code not to

      indemnified pursuant to Section 6.2(a) as such Losses are incurred in
      connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any
      Proceeding; provided that such Indemnitee shall promptly repay to the
      Company the amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it
      shall be judicially determined by judgment or order not subject to further
      appeal or discretionary review that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be
      indemnified by the Company in connection with such matter.  The
      indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
      pursuant to, this Section 6.2 shall not be deemed exclusive of, and shall
      not limit, any other rights or remedies to which any Indemnitee may be
      entitled or which may otherwise be available to any Indemnitee at law or
      in equity, (ii) shall continue as to a Person notwithstanding that such
      Person has ceased to be an Indemnitee, and (iii) shall inure to the
      benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the
      Indemnitee.  Subject to the foregoing sentence, the provisions of this
      Section 6.2 are solely for the benefit of the Indemnitees and shall not
      be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.
      Each Indemnitee shall have a claim against the property and assets of the
      Company for payment of any indemnity amounts from time to time due
      hereunder, which amounts shall be paid or properly reserved for prior to
      the making of distributions by the Company to Members.

      tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities
      of the Company, and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such
      debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a
      Member.

      (b)   Except as provided by applicable Laws, a Member, in its capacity as
      such, shall have no liability to the Company or to any other Member in
      excess of payments required to be made by such Member under this
      Agreement.

      (c)   The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to benefit the

                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 7.1  Restrictions on Transfer.
             ------------------------
      (a)   Each of OBC and CTTV agrees and acknowledges that the identity of
      the other is an essential element of this Agreement and accordingly the
      parties agree as follows:

            (i)   Except as expressly permitted by this Article 7, no Member
            may at any time Transfer all or any part of any of such Member's
            Interest without the express written consent of the other Member,
            which consent may be granted or withheld by any such Member in its
            full and absolute discretion.  Nothing in this Article 7 shall be
            construed to permit any Member at any time to, and no Member shall,
            create or suffer to exist any Lien upon, in, or in respect of all
            or any part of any of such Member's Interest without the express
            written consent of the other Member, which consent may be granted
            or withheld by any such Member in its full and absolute discretion;
            provided that OBC shall be permitted at any time to grant to CTTV
            a Lien upon its Interest.  Any offer or purported Transfer of a
            Member's Interest in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall
            be void.

            (ii)  Each Member hereby agrees that if such Member ceases to be an
            OBC Group Entity or a ChevronTexaco Group Entity, as the case may
            be, but no Change of Control shall have otherwise occurred with
            respect to such Member, the Interest held by such Member first shall
            be transferred to another OBC Group Entity or ChevronTexaco Group
            Entity, as the case may be, and such Interest shall continue to be
            subject to (i) this Section 7.1(a)(ii), and (ii) Section 7.1(c)
            (when, as and if it is applicable).

      (b)   Upon giving 30 days notice to the other Member, any OBC Member may
      Transfer all or any part of its Interest to an OBC Group Entity, and any
      ChevronTexaco Member may Transfer all or any part of its Interest to a
      ChevronTexaco Group Entity, provided that the transferee of such Interest
      shall be bound by the terms of Section 7.1(a)(ii) above, when, as and if
      it becomes applicable to such transferee.  After giving effect to any such
      permitted transfer of an Interest, any obligation of the transferring
      Member hereunder

                                                                   COBASYS LLC

      shall be a joint and several obligation of the transferring Member and
      such transferee, notwithstanding the fact that the transferring Member may
      no longer continue to have any Interest.

      (c)   A ChevronTexaco Member may Transfer all or any part of its Interest
      to a Person that is not a ChevronTexaco Group Entity, and an OBC Member
      may Transfer all or any part of its Interest to a Person that is not an
      OBC Group Entity, provided that such Transfer is made in compliance with
      the procedures set forth in this Section 7.1(c).

            (i)   A Member intending to Transfer its Interest (the "Selling
            Member") shall deliver a notice to the Other Member (the "Offeree
            Member") which shall (x) state such intent, and (y) set forth a list
            of proposed Acceptable Transferees, together with such information
            regarding each Person on such list as may be reasonably required to
            determine whether such Person is an Acceptable Transferee.

            (ii)  The Offeree Member shall, within 30 days after receipt of such
            notice, deliver to the Selling Member a written response to such
            list, setting forth its position with respect to the acceptability
            of the Persons named therein, which shall be determined by such
            Offeree Member in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, for
            any reason other than for the purpose of frustrating all Transfers.
            The procedure set forth in this subsection (ii) may be repeated by
            the Selling Member as often as may be reasonably required for the
            Selling Member's marketing of the Selling Member's Interest.

            (iii) The Selling Member shall have a period of no more than 270
            days after the Acceptable Transferees have either been accepted or
            not objected to, to execute and deliver a definitive agreement with
            any Acceptable Transferee committing the Selling Member to sell and
            such Acceptable Transferee to purchase the Selling Member's
            Interest, and to complete such sale (subject to reasonable extension
            if required to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 7.7). If
            the Selling Member fails to complete such sale within such period,
            the Selling Member must again invoke the offer procedure set forth
            in this Section 7.1(c) in order to Transfer its Interest pursuant
            to this Section 7.1(c). From time to time, the Selling Member will
            furnish to the Offeree Member such information respecting Selling
            Member's marketing of the Selling Member's Interest as the Offeree
            Member reasonably requests for any purpose reasonably related to
            Offeree Member's exercise of its rights under Section 7.1(c)(iv).

            (iv)  Prior to consummating a proposed sale of the Interest of the
            Selling Member to any Acceptable Transferee pursuant to Section
            7.1(c)(v), the Selling Member shall deliver a second notice (the
            "Selling Member's Offer Notice") to the Offeree Member which shall
            (x) state the intention of the Selling Member to sell its Interest,
            (y) describe the material terms and conditions of the proposed sale
            to the Acceptable Transferee (including the proposed purchase price
            and structure), together with any letter of intent or definitive
            agreement relating to such proposed sale if executed as of such
            date ("Sale Materials") and (z) offer to sell such Interest to
            such Offeree Member on the same terms and conditions as proposed to
            sell such

                                                                   COBASYS LLC

             Interest to the Acceptable Transferee; provided, however, that the
             Offeree Member may substitute cash of equal value in the event that
             the Acceptable Transferee offers consideration of a type that is
             not readily available to the Offeree Member. If the Offeree Member
             desires to purchase the Interest so offered, it shall, within 10
             days of the receipt by the Offeree Member of the Selling Member's
             Offer Notice ("Offeree Member Response Date"), deliver a notice
             (the "Offeree Member's Acceptance Notice") to the Selling Member.
             The Offeree Member's Acceptance Notice shall set forth an
             irrevocable commitment by the Offeree Member to purchase the
             Interest so offered on the terms and conditions set forth in the
             Sale Materials and in Section 7.7.

            (v)   If the Offeree Member so delivers the Offeree Member's
            Acceptance Notice, the closing of such purchase shall take place
            within 30 days after delivery of the Offeree Member's Acceptance
            Notice, subject to reasonable extension if required to satisfy the
            conditions set forth in Section 7.7.  If the Offeree Member either
            notifies the Selling Member in writing that it has elected not to
            purchase the Interest of the Selling Member or fails to provide the
            Offeree Member's Acceptance Notice on or prior to the Offeree Member
            Response Date, the Selling Member shall be free to consummate its
            proposed sale to the Acceptable Transferee on the terms and
            conditions set forth in the Sale Materials and in Section 7.7.

      (d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless
      all of the Members shall consent, no Member may Transfer all or any
      portion of its Interest if such Transfer, when added to the total of all
      other Dispositions of Interests within the preceding twelve (12) months,
      would result in the Company being considered to have terminated within the
      meaning of Code Section 708.

Section 7.2  Change of Control.
             -----------------

      (a)   Each of OBC and CTTV agrees and acknowledges that the identity of
      the other (and the identity of any entity possessing control over the
      other) is an essential element of this Agreement and accordingly the
      parties agree as follows:  In the event of a Change of Control of any
      Member (the "Changed Member"), the Changed Member shall, following such
      Change of Control, promptly notify the other Member (the "Unchanged
      Member") of such event, setting forth the date and circumstances of the
      Change of Control and the identity of the Person that has acquired control
      of the Changed Member.  If the Changed Member fails to give such notice,
      the Unchanged Member may give such notice.  Promptly after delivery of any
      such notice, or after otherwise ascertaining that such Change of Control
      has occurred, the Members shall cause the Fair Market Value of the Company
      to be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
      2.6.

      (b)   Within 30 days following the determination of Fair Market Value of
      the Company, the Unchanged Member may provide a notice to the Changed
      Member indicating its desire to acquire the Interest of the Changed Member
      for the Change Price (plus the Preferred Interest Amount with respect to
      such Member, if applicable), and setting forth the date on which such
      Unchanged Member intends to acquire such Interest

      pursuant to this Section 7.2(b), which date shall be as soon as
      practicable after delivery of the notice pursuant to this Section 7.2(b).
      If the Unchanged Member provides such notice, it shall have the right to
      acquire all but not less than all of the Interest of the Changed Member,
      subject to the provisions of Section 7.7, for the Change Price. As used in
      this Agreement, the term "Change Price" means, with respect to any
      Member's Interest, (x) the Fair Market Value of the Company multiplied by
      (y) such Member's Percentage Interest. If the selling Member is the holder
      of a Preferred Interest, the purchasing Member shall be obligated to pay
      the Change Price plus the Preferred Interest Amount of the selling Member.

Section 7.3  Waiver of Partition.
             -------------------

      (a)   All Company assets, whether real, personal or mixed, tangible or
      intangible, shall be owned by the Company as an entity. All the Company
      assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company on its books and
      records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company
      assets is held.

      (b)   The assets, property and cash contributed to the Company, as well as
      all other property and assets acquired by the Company, shall be owned by
      the Company.  No Member shall, either directly or indirectly, take any
      action to require partition, and notwithstanding any provisions of
      applicable Laws to the contrary, each Member (and each of its legal
      representatives, successors, or assigns) hereby irrevocably
      waives any and all rights it may have to maintain any action for partition
      or to compel any sale with respect to its Interest, or with respect to any
      assets or properties of the Company, except as expressly provided in this
      Agreement, until the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.4  Covenant Not to Withdraw or Dissolve.  Notwithstanding any
             ------------------------------------
provision of the Michigan Act, except as expressly provided above, each Member
hereby covenants and agrees that the Members have entered into this Agreement
based on their mutual expectation that both Members will continue as Members and
carry out the duties and obligations undertaken by them hereunder and that,
except as otherwise expressly required or permitted hereby, each Member hereby
covenants and agrees not to (i) take any action to file a certificate of
dissolution or its equivalent with respect to itself; (ii) take any action that
would cause a Bankruptcy of such Member; (iii) withdraw or attempt to withdraw
funds or assets from the Company, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the
Michigan Act; (iv) exercise any power under the Michigan Act to dissolve the
Company; (v) Transfer all or any portion of its Interest, except as expressly
provided herein; or (vi) demand a return of such Member's contributions or
profits (or a bond or other security for the return of such contributions of
profits), in each case without Unanimous Approval.

Section 7.5  Substituted Members.  Any transferee acquiring the Interest of a
             -------------------
Member as permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed admitted as a
substituted Member with respect to the Interest transferred concurrently with
the effectiveness of the Transfer without any further vote or approval of any
Member, provided such transferee shall have executed and delivered to the other
Member a counterpart of this Agreement and such other documents or agreements as
shall be reasonably requested by such other Member to confirm such transferee's
admission as a Member and its agreement to be bound by and assume the
obligations of the transferor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
any Associated Agreement under which such transferor has any

rights or obligations. The transferor shall not be relieved of any obligation or
liability hereunder arising prior to the consummation of such Transfer but shall
be relieved of all future obligations with respect to the Interest so
Transferred. No purported Transfer of any Interest, or any portion thereof or
interest therein, in violation of the terms of this Agreement (including any
Transfer occurring by operation of law) shall vest the purported transferee with
any rights, powers or privileges hereunder, and no such purported transferee
shall be deemed for any purposes as a Member hereunder or have any right to vote
or consent with respect to Company matters, to maintain any action for an
accounting or to exercise any other rights of a Member hereunder or under the
Michigan Act.

Section 7.6  Deliveries.  Upon the consummation of any purchase and sale
             ----------
pursuant to this Article 7, the transferring Member shall deliver the Interest
of the transferring Member, free and clear of all Liens (other than any Lien
created under any financing to which the Company is a party), together with duly
executed written instruments of transfer with respect thereto, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchaser of such Interests, against
(x) delivery of the cash portion of the applicable price for such Interest by
wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of the
transferring Member designated for such purpose, and (y) delivery of any other
consideration as may be provided for such purchase and sale.

Section 7.7  Approvals.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
             ---------
no Transfer of an Interest pursuant to this Article 7 shall occur unless and
until any and all necessary consents and approvals have been obtained from any
Governmental Body with authority with respect thereto, including any required
approvals under the HSR Act. The Members agree to cooperate and to cause their
Affiliates to cooperate in the preparation and filing of any and all reports or
other submissions required in connection with obtaining such consents and
approvals.

Section 7.8  Liquidated Damages.  OBC and CTTV agree that if either OBC or CTTV
             ------------------
shall Transfer its Interest in the Company in violation of such party's
agreements in Sections 2.7, 7.1, 7.2, or 7.4 or of OBC's agreement in Section
8.4(c), then such transferring party shall immediately pay to the
non-transferring party, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to one-third of
CTTV's Capital Contributions measured as of the date of such Transfer (for
example, as of September 30, 2004, such liquidated damages amount would be
one-third of $143,585,000, or approximately $47,861,667). The parties agree that
in any such event, the actual damages to the non-transferring party will be
difficult or impossible to measure and that such amount represents the parties'
reasonable estimate as of the date of this Agreement of such damages and that
this Section 7.8 is intended to compensate such non-transferring party for such
damages and not as a penalty.

            (ii)  any part of the Interest of a Member is seized by a creditor
            of such Member, and the same is not released from seizure or bonded
            out within thirty (30) days from the date of notice of seizure; or

            (iii) a Member fails to (x) provide any Capital Contribution
            required under Article 3 within ten (10) days after the due date
            thereof, (y) provide any other funding required by this Agreement
            within ten (10) days after the due date thereof, or (z) perform any
            material obligation imposed upon such Member under any agreement
            relating to borrowed money to which the Company is a party which
            results in a default by, or acceleration of indebtedness of, the
            Company thereunder, and such failure continues unremedied for ten

            obligation imposed on such Member in this Agreement other than those
            described in Section 8.1(a)(iii); or (z) attempts to transfer any of
            its Interest in the Company except as permitted under Article 7, and
            in each such case such failure continues unremedied for thirty (30)
            days after receipt of notice from the other Member, or

            (v)   a Member fails to perform any material provision or obligation
            imposed on such Member in the Technology Agreement and such failure
            continues unremedied for ten (10) days after receipt of notice from
            the other Member;

      then a "Default" shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such
      Member, who shall be referred to as the "Defaulting Member," and the other
      Member shall be referred to as a "Nondefaulting Member". Subsequent to the
      occurrence of a Default, the Defaulting Member shall continue to be a
      Member and shall continue to be obligated to make all Capital
      Contributions as provided in Article 3.

      (b)   Continuation of the Company. If an event described in Section 8.1(a)

      occurs, it is the intent of the Members that the Company shall continue to
      exist and operate without interruption, dissolution or termination, and
      without impairing or reducing in any manner the Company's rights and
      obligations to third parties unless the Nondefaulting Member elects to
      dissolve the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a).

      (c)   Suspension and Assignment of Distributions.  Notwithstanding
            ------------------------------------------
      anything in this Agreement to the contrary, effective upon the occurrence
      of an event which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period,
      would constitute a Default with respect to a Member ("Event of Default"),
      no distribution shall be made by the Company to such Member until such
      Event of Default has been cured and the Nondefaulting Member has been
      reimbursed for all direct costs and expenses incurred as a result of the
      Event of Default. Effective upon the expiration of such grace period, the
      Defaulting Member assigns to the Nondefaulting Member its right to receive
      any and all distributions from the Company to which it would otherwise be
      entitled under this Agreement or the Michigan Act (including any
      distributions suspended during the grace period in accordance with the
      preceding sentence) until such time as the Nondefaulting Member has been
      reimbursed in full for all such costs and expenses.

Section 8.2  Options of Nondefaulting Member.  If a Default occurs and is
             -------------------------------
continuing then the Nondefaulting Member shall have the right, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to:

      (a)   dissolve the Company in accordance with Article 9;

      (b)   expel the Defaulting Member from the Company by giving written
      notice specifying the expulsion date and purchasing, designating another
      Person to purchase or causing the Company to purchase the Interest of the
      Defaulting Member as of the expulsion date in such percentage as the
      Nondefaulting Member shall determine (the Nondefaulting Member, such other
      Person or the Company, as the case may be, the "Default Purchaser"), at
      the Default Purchase Price, less all costs and expenses incurred or
      reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the Default Purchaser as a result
      of the Default (a "Default Purchase"). At the Default Purchaser's
      election, payment to the Defaulting Member may take the form of a ten (10)
      year note from the Default Purchaser secured by the Interest purchased and
      payable in equal annual installments of principal plus interest at the
      Prime Rate. In the event the Default Purchaser incurs costs or expenses in
      respect of the Defaulting Member's default in addition to those which were
      previously deducted from the Default Purchase Price, any such note shall
      be reduced by an amount equal to such additional costs or expenses, or the
      Default Purchaser may offset such amount against any other sums owed by
      the Default Purchaser to the Defaulting Member;

      (c)   Cure the default and cause the cost thereof to be charged against a
      special loan account established for the Nondefaulting Member until the
      entire cost thereof plus interest on the unpaid balance at an annual rate
      equal to 2% over the Prime Rate shall have been paid or reimbursed to the
      Nondefaulting Member from any subsequent distributions made pursuant to
      this Agreement to which the Defaulting Member would otherwise have been
      entitled, which amounts shall be paid first as interest and then
      principal, until the loan is paid in full;

      (d)   Cure the Default and credit the Nondefaulting Member's Capital
      Account with an amount equal to the sum of the costs of such cure and all
      other costs and expenses incurred by the Nondefaulting Member as a result
      of the Default and cause the Percentage Interests of the Members to be
      adjusted to reflect the additional Interest in the Company of the
      Nondefaulting Member as a result of such credit based on the Fair Market
      Value of the Company as of the date of such cure; provided, however, that
      any such cure by the Nondefaulting Member shall not affect the liability
      of the Defaulting Member for any other obligations to the Company or the
      Nondefaulting Member, whether attributable to periods prior to or
      following such cure. The Nondefaulting Member's additional Interest shall
      be equal to the percentage calculated by dividing the amount of the cure
      by the Fair Market Value of the Company. Correspondingly, the Defaulting
      Member's Interest shall be reduced by such percentage; or

      (e)   exercise any and all rights of a secured creditor under the Uniform
      Commercial Code with respect to the Collateral.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Defaulting
Member (and its Management Committee representatives) shall have no vote on any
matter before the Management

Committee, other than those matters set forth in Section 5.4(a), Section
5.4(d)(i) through (viii), and Section 5.4(e).

Section 8.3  No Limitation or Right of Set-Off.  Each Member agrees that the
             ---------------------------------
obligation to make payment to the Company as provided in this Agreement is a
covenant of each Member to the other Member and any Default entitles the
Nondefaulting Member to take the actions set forth in Section 8.2 which shall be
in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies which
the Nondefaulting Member may have at law or equity or pursuant to the other
provisions of this Agreement or any Associated Agreement. Any Member which
becomes a Defaulting Member undertakes that, in respect of any exercise by the
Nondefaulting Member of any rights under or the application of any of the
provisions of Section 8.2, such Defaulting Member shall not raise by way of set
off, or invoke as a defense or assert as a claim, whether in law or equity, any
failure by any other Member to pay amounts due and owing under this Agreement or
any alleged or unliquidated claim that such Defaulting Member may have against
the Company or any Member, whether such claim arises under this Agreement or
otherwise. Such Defaulting Member further undertakes not to raise by way of
defense, whether in law or in equity, that the nature or the amount of the
remedies granted to the Nondefaulting Member is unreasonable or excessive.

Section 8.4  Security Interest.
             -----------------

      (a)   Grant of Security Interest by OBC.  All of OBC's obligations under
            ---------------------------------
      this Agreement (including without limitation OBC's obligations under
      Sections 2.7, 3.2, 3.4, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.4) shall be secured by, and OBC
      hereby grants to CTTV, a first priority security interest in all right,
      title, claim and interest of OBC in and to the Collateral. OBC hereby
      authorizes CTTV, its counsel and its representatives, at any time and from
      time to time, to file financing statements and amendments in such
      jurisdictions as CTTV may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect
      the security interests granted by OBC under this Agreement.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default with respect to OBC
      shall have occurred and be continuing, OBC shall be entitled to exercise
      any and all rights relating to the Collateral otherwise available to it
      under the terms of this Agreement.

      (b)   Representations and Warranties regarding the Collateral. OBC
            -------------------------------------------------------
      represents and warrants to CTTV as of the date hereof as follows:

            (i)   OBC is a corporation organized under the laws of the State
            of Delaware. OBC's mailing address is 2968 Waterview Drive,
            Rochester Hills, Michigan 48309. OBC's chief executive office is
            2968 Waterview Drive, Rochester Hills, Michigan 48309. OBC's
            organizational identification number is 2075852.

            (ii)   "Ovonic Battery Company, Inc." is the correct legal name
            of OBC indicated on the public record of OBC's jurisdiction of
            organization which shows OBC to be organized.

            (iii)  All names and tradenames that OBC has used within the
            five years prior to the date hereof are as set forth on
            Schedule OBC-8.4(b)(iii).

                                                                   COBASYS LLC

            (iv)   OBC has good and marketable title to all the Collateral owned
            by it and will have good and marketable title to all Collateral
            hereafter acquired upon acquisition thereof. The security interests
            granted pursuant to this Section 8.4 constitute (in the case of
            Collateral now owned) and will constitute upon acquisition thereof
            (in the case of Collateral hereafter acquired), valid, first
            priority Liens in such Collateral.

            (v)   The Collateral is (in the case of Collateral now owned) and
            (in the case of Collateral hereafter acquired) will be upon
            acquisition thereof, free and clear of all Liens other than the
            Liens granted under this Agreement.

            (vi)  OBC is solvent and is paying its debts as they become due and
            owing insofar as this affects the Collateral, and OBC shall remain
            solvent upon the execution of and compliance with the terms of this
            Agreement and OBC's obligations under this Agreement, such that
            execution of this Agreement does not render OBC insolvent.

            (vii)  There are no actions or proceedings that are pending or, to
            OBC's knowledge, threatened against OBC that might adversely affect
            the Collateral.

            (viii) No security agreement, financing statement, or equivalent
            security or lien instrument or continuation statement covering all
            or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public
            office, except such as may have been filed in favor of CTTV pursuant
            to this Agreement or with respect to the Liens granted to CTTV under
            this Agreement.

      (c)   Covenants with respect to the Collateral. OBC hereby covenants and
            ----------------------------------------
      agrees with CTTV that during the term of this Agreement:

            (i)   OBC shall not (A) adopt a trade name or change its name, or
            (B) change its identity, jurisdiction, structure or tax
            identification number, unless in any case OBC (x) provides CTTV no
            less than 30 days' prior written notice thereof and (y) makes all
            filings under applicable law and takes all other actions that are
            required so that such change will not at any time adversely affect
            the validity, perfection or priority of CTTV's Lien on any of the
            Collateral.

            (ii)  OBC shall not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the
            Collateral, or any interest therein.

            (iii) OBC shall not grant or suffer to exist any Lien on any of the
            Collateral other than the Liens granted under this Agreement.

            (iv)  At any time and from time to time, upon the request of CTTV,
            and at the sole expense of OBC, OBC will promptly execute and
            deliver any and all such further documents and take such further
            actions as CTTV may deem desirable in obtaining the full benefits of
            the security interest granted pursuant to this Section 8.4 and of
            the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation,

            filing of any financing or continuation statements under the
            Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect
            to the liens and security interests granted hereby and, if
            applicable, transferring any Collateral to CTTV's possession in
            order to perfect or enhance the priority thereof. If any amount
            payable under or in connection with any Collateral shall be or
            become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument (other
            than an instrument that constitutes chattel paper), such note or
            instrument shall be immediately pledged to CTTV hereunder, and shall
            be endorsed in a manner satisfactory to CTTV and delivered to CTTV.

            (v)   OBC irrevocably appoints CTTV, with full power of
            substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
            irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of OBC and in
            the name of OBC or in its own name, from time to time in CTTV's
            discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
            Article 8, to exercise any of the rights and remedies granted to
            CTTV under this Article 8, and to take any and all other appropriate
            action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may
            be necessary or desirable under this Article 8. All powers,
            authorizations, and agencies contained in this Section 8.4 with
            respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an
            interest. OBC ratifies all that the attorney shall lawfully do or
            cause to be done by virtue hereof.

      (d)   Sale of Collateral.  If a Default with respect to OBC shall have
            ------------------
      occurred and be continuing, then CTTV shall have the right to sell the
      Collateral (in addition to exercising any other remedies available to it
      under applicable law or this Agreement). CTTV shall not be required to
      register or qualify any of the Collateral that constitutes securities
      under applicable state or federal securities laws in connection with any
      sale or other disposition thereof if such disposition is effected in a
      manner that complies with all applicable federal and state securities
      laws. CTTV shall be authorized at any such disposition (if it deems it
      advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to
      persons who will represent and agree that they are "accredited investors"
      or "qualified institutional buyers" under applicable law and purchasing
      the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to
      the distribution or sale thereof. OBC agrees that if any such Collateral
      is sold in a manner that CTTV in good faith believes to be reasonable
      under the circumstances then existing, then (A) the sale shall be deemed
      to be commercially reasonable in all respects and (B) CTTV shall not incur
      any liability or responsibility to OBC in connection therewith,
      notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might
      have been realized at a public sale. OBC recognizes that a ready market
      may not exist for such Collateral and that a sale by CTTV of any such
      Collateral for an amount substantially less than the price that might have
      been achieved had the Collateral been publicly traded may be commercially
      reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in
      attempting to sell Collateral that is not publicly traded. CTTV or any
      ChevronTexaco Group Entity may purchase any of the Collateral at any sale
      of Collateral hereunder. In addition, OBC recognizes that, in connection
      with any sale of the Collateral, CTTV has certain rights of first refusal
      to purchase the Collateral pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, and
      that such rights of first refusal may result in a sale of the Collateral
      (including a sale of all or part of the Collateral to CTTV) for an amount
      less than the price that might have been achieved had the Collateral not
      been

      subject to such rights of first refusal. Notwithstanding anything to
      the contrary in this Section 8.4(d), neither CTTV nor any ChevronTexaco
      Group Entity shall be entitled to purchase the Interest of the Defaulting
      Member (or any portion thereof) in a sale of Collateral under this Section
      8.4(d) for a price less than the minimum price at which CTTV or any
      ChevronTexaco Group Entity would be entitled to purchase such Interest (or
      any portion thereof) under Section 8.2(b). TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
      PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, OBC HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION OR CLAIM
      BASED UPON ANY OF THE FOREGOING AND AGREES THAT ANY SALE OR OTHER
      DISPOSITION EFFECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOREGOING (INCLUDING PURSUANT
      TO ANY SUCH RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL) SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED
      COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.

      (e)   The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall terminate and shall be of
      no further force or effect on the first date after January 1, 2008 on
      which (A) no Preferred Interest is outstanding and (B) no Default with
      respect to OBC has occurred and is continuing. Upon the termination of the
      provisions of this Section 8.4, CTTV shall cooperate with the reasonable
      requests of OBC to release any Collateral in the possession of CTTV and to
      file appropriate termination statements and other documents evidencing and
      giving effect to the termination of the security interest in the
      Collateral granted hereunder.

             -----------
upon the first to occur of any of the following events (each, a "Dissolution
Event"):

      (a)   a decision by Unanimous Approval to dissolve, wind up and terminate
      the Company;

      (b)   upon a Default, the Nondefaulting Member elects to dissolve the
      Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a); or

      (c)   the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section
      18-802 of the Michigan Act.

Section 9.2  Winding Up.  The Members shall be responsible for overseeing the

winding up and dissolution of the Company. A reasonable amount of time shall be
allowed for the period of winding up in light of prevailing market conditions
and so as to avoid undue loss in connection with any sale of the Company's
assets. Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Company shall continue
solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner,
liquidating its assets, and satisfying or making reasonable provision for the
satisfaction of the claims of its creditors and Members, and no Member shall
take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate
for, the winding up of the Company's business and affairs; provided that all
covenants contained in this Agreement and obligations provided for in this
Agreement shall continue to be fully binding upon the Members until such time as

             ------------------------------

      (a)   In connection with the winding up of the Company, first the Fair
      Market Value of the Company's assets shall be determined as provided
      in Section 2.6. Such Fair Market Value shall then be used as a basis
      for computing the Profit or Loss, if any, arising as a result of the
      operation of, and subject to allocation under, Section 3.8(d) and
      Article 4 (including without limitation Section 4.2(c)(xi)),
      respectively.

      (b)   In connection with the winding up of the Company, the Company's
      assets constituting Company Technology Assets shall first be applied

      (c)   Thereafter, in connection with the winding up of the Company, the
      Company's assets or the proceeds from the sale thereof shall be applied
      and distributed to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws as
      follows:

            (i)   To creditors, including Members who are creditors (other than
            by reason of the operation and effect of Sections 304 and 305 of
            the Michigan Act), to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in
            satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or
            the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

            (ii)  To the Preferred Member(s), an amount equal to such Member(s)'
            Preferred Interest Amounts, pro rata in accordance with such
            amounts;

            (iii) With respect to any assets not distributed pursuant to (b)
            above, to those Persons entitled to such assets in accordance with
            Section 4.2 of the Technology Agreement;

            (iv)  To Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions
            under the Michigan Act; and

            (v)   Thereafter to Members in proportion to their respective
            Capital Account balances, to the extent the same are positive, up to
            the full amount thereof (after giving effect to adjustments to
            Capital Account balances under Section 3.8 and, as applicable,
            Article 4, through the date of distribution); with any remaining
            assets to be distributed to Members in accordance with their
            respective Percentage Interests.

Section 9.4  Claims of the Members.  The Members will look solely to the

Company's assets for the return of their contributions to their Capital
Accounts, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due
provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are
insufficient to return such contributions, the Members will have no recourse
therefor

          as the Initial Annual Budget, unless the Management Committee requests
          otherwise.

   B.  Proposed Annual Operating Plan
       ------------------------------
          The proposed Annual Operating Plan shall, in detail acceptable to the
          Management Committee, describe the Company's Objectives for the Fiscal
          Year to which it applies and the actions the Company intends to take
          in furtherance of these Objectives.

3. Approval of the Budget Documents.  The Management Committee shall use
   --------------------------------
   diligent efforts to approve an Annual Budget and Annual Operating Plan no
   later than 30 days prior to the start of each Fiscal Year. Upon approval by
   the Management Committee of the proposed Annual Budget and Annual Operating
   Plan, the President and other authorized officers of the Company are
   authorized to make expenditures and commitments in accordance with
   Disbursement and Commitment Schedules approved by the Management Committee on
   the activities described therein.

4. Monitoring and Cash Calls.  The President will monitor the Company's actual
   -------------------------
   cash balances and expected monthly expenditures on a regular basis. No less
   than 10 Business Days prior to the first of each month, the President shall
   provide written notice to the appropriate funding Member(s) of the amount of
   cash the Company requires from such Member(s) as set forth in the applicable
   Disbursement and Commitment Schedule, and the funding Member(s) shall provide
   or make available to the Company immediately available funds in the amount
   set forth in such notice on or before the first Business Day of that month.
   The President will also monitor actual and forecasted expenditures of the
   Company against the forecasts contained in the Approved Annual Budget and
   Annual Operating Plan and provide the Members with a written summary of this
   information as of the end of each month by no later than the 15th of the
   following month. In addition, the President shall present status reports on
   actual versus forecasted expenditures at each Management Committee meeting.
   The aggregate amount of cash requested by the President to meet the Company's
   expenditures for any calendar quarter or any Fiscal Year shall not exceed the
   aggregate amount covered by the applicable Disbursement and Commitment
   Schedule or the applicable Approved Annual Budget, as the case may be,
   without the prior approval of the Management Committee.

5. Adjustments to Plans and Budgets.  In the event the President determines that
   --------------------------------
   changes beyond his delegated authority are required in the current schedule
   for the Company's operations (whether as set forth in the then applicable
   Disbursement and Commitment Schedule, the Annual Operating Plan or the
   Approved Annual Budget), he will present his recommendations for adjustments
   thereto to the Management Committee and seek its approval. Only the
   Management Committee can authorize spending in excess of previously approved
   levels. Such expenditures, if approved, will be authorized by the approval of
   a revised Disbursement and Commitment Schedule or Annual Budget, as the case
   may be.

                                   EXHIBIT B
                  TO AMENDED AND RESTATED OPERATING AGREEMENT

                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

1. The parties shall attempt to amicably settle any dispute, controversy or
   claim related to this Agreement, including any dispute over the breach,
   interpretation, or validity of this Agreement (all of which such possible
   disputes are hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Dispute"); provided
   that in no event shall either party be obligated to attempt to reach such a
   settlement for more than fifteen (15) days from the date either party gives
   written notice to the other party specifying that it is a Notice of Dispute
   and setting forth a brief description of such Dispute (the "Issue Date").

2. If the parties are unsuccessful in their attempt to settle the Dispute, the
   Dispute shall be submitted to, and settled by, binding arbitration in
   Houston, Texas in accordance with this paragraph; unless the parties agree to
   seek a negotiated resolution using a mediator. The arbitration shall be
   conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
   Association ("AAA") before a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") who shall
   be a retired U.S. District Court judge and shall not be the mediator (if
   any). In the event the parties shall not have agreed on a choice of
   Arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the Issue Date, the AAA shall furnish
   to each party a list of three names (each of whom shall be a retired U.S.
   District Court judge) and within three (3) business days after receipt of
   such list, CTTV shall strike one name and OBC and/or ECD shall strike one
   name, thereby nominating the remaining person as the Arbitrator. If more than
   one name remains at the end of such three business day period, the AAA will
   choose an Arbitrator from the list of remaining names. In no event is the
   Arbitrator authorized or empowered to award punitive or consequential damages
   or damages in excess of actual direct damages. The arbitration award shall be
   in writing and shall specify the factual and legal basis for the award.
   Unless otherwise awarded by the Arbitrator, the cost of the arbitration will
   be split equally between (a) ECD and its affiliates and (b) CTTV and its
   affiliates. Judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered
   in any court with jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to
   reasonable attorneys' fees in any court proceeding relating to the
   enforcement or collection of any award or judgment rendered by the Arbitrator
   under this Agreement. To the extent any issue relating to the arbitration is
   not otherwise covered by the choice of law provisions of this Agreement or
   the applicable AAA rules, the law of the State of Texas shall govern such
   issue.

3. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any party may request injunctive
   relief and/or equitable relief from the Arbitrator or the court in order to
   protect the rights or property of such party pending the resolution of the
   Dispute as provided hereunder.

                   TO AMENDED AND RESTATED OPERATING AGREEMENT

                           REDUCED FUNDING GUIDELINES

      The President will cause spending to be reduced as follows when an event
has occurred that requires the Company to follow "Reduced Funding Guidelines",
unless the Management Committee grants specific permission for a variance:

      o  No purchase orders for new capital assets or real property shall be
         issued.

      o  All purchases of materials, supplies, outside services, etc. will be
         minimized or eliminated, as appropriate, including the elimination
         of non-essential expenditures.

      o  Out-of-pocket expenses will be minimized or eliminated, as
         appropriate, including the elimination of non-essential expenditures.

      o  No new employees will be hired. Current employees will be retained
         but non-essential overtime will be eliminated.

      o  No leases for facilities or equipment will be entered into and no
         debt will be incurred.

The guidelines above shall apply to all expenditures in connection with the
Company's operations.

      3. Representations of CTTV. CTTV represents to ECD and the Company as
         -----------------------
follows:

            (a) Organization. CTTV is a limited liability company duly organized
      and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. CTTV has the
      full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
      under this Agreement and the Transactions Agreements to which it is a
      party.

            (b) Authority. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by CTTV
      and the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, and the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have
      been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of CTTV.

            (c) Enforceability. This Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to
      which CTTV is a party, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation
      of CTTV, enforceable against CTTV in accordance with their respective
      terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
      moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally
      and to the principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in a
      proceeding in equity or at law).

            (d) No Conflicts. Neither the execution nor delivery of this
      Agreement or the Transaction Agreements, nor the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by CTTV will violate, require
      a consent (other than the consent of ECD or the Company, which ECD and the
      Company hereby grant), or cause a default under any agreement to which
      CTTV is a party. Assuming the veracity of the representations and
      warranties of ECD contained in this Agreement and the Transaction
      Agreements, no consent, approval or filing with any Governmental Body is
      required to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement by CTTV
      or the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, or CTTV's
      performance of the terms of this Agreement or such Transaction Agreements.

            (e) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim or
      investigation by any person, entity, administrative agency or Governmental
      Body pending or, to the knowledge of CTTV, threatened, against CTTV that
      impedes or is likely to impede CTTV's ability to consummate the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements
      to which it is a party.

                                       3
<PAGE>

            (f) Title. CTTV represents and warrants that, except as set forth in
      the LLC Agreement, its Interest in the Company is free and clear of all
      Liens.

      4. Representations of ECD. ECD represents and warrants to CTTV and the
         ----------------------
Company as follows:

            (a) Organization. ECD is a corporation duly organized and validly
      existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. ECD has the full power
      and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
      Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party.

            (b) Authority. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by ECD
      and the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, and the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have
      been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of ECD.

            (c) Enforceability. This Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to
      which ECD is a party, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation
      of ECD, enforceable against ECD in accordance with their respective terms,
      subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
      and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to the
      principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
      equity or at law).

            (d) No Conflicts. Neither the execution nor delivery of this
      Agreement or the Transaction Agreements, nor the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by ECD will violate, require a
      consent, or cause a default under any agreement to which ECD is a party.
      Assuming the veracity of the representations and warranties of CTTV
      contained in this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, no consent,
      approval or filing with any Governmental Body is required to authorize the
      execution and delivery of this Agreement by ECD or Transaction Agreements
      to which it is a party, or ECD's performance of the terms of this
      Agreement or such Transaction Agreements.

            (e) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim or
      investigation by any person, entity, administrative agency or Governmental
      Body pending or, to the knowledge of ECD, threatened, against ECD that

      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements
      to which it is a party.

            (f) Investment Intent. ECD is a member of the Company and desires to
      increase its investment interest in the Company. ECD is acquiring CTTV's
      Interest for investment purposes only, and not with a view to the resale
      or distribution thereof.

      meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and is a sophisticated investor
      with full access to information about the Company, capable of fending for
      itself, and has received no information about the Company from CTTV and is
      in no way looking to or relying on CTTV for any such information.

      5. Representations of the Company. The Company represents to CTTV and ECD
         ------------------------------
that it is duly organized and in good standing as a Delaware limited liability
company, has all necessary authority to enter into this Agreement and the
Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, and such agreements constitute
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance
with their terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to
the principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

the Company or its business, including without limitation any further rights,
liabilities, obligations or claims under the LLC Agreement or the Associated

      7. Transferee and Company Indemnification. As an essential consideration
         --------------------------------------

the Transaction Agreements, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section
6(b) to the contrary, ECD and the Company hereby agree to jointly and severally
defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each CTTV Party, from and against
any and all Losses arising from any and all Proceedings in which a CTTV Party
may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, arising
out of, resulting from, or relating or incidental to (a) the Company or its
business, or such CTTV Party's interest, relationship, participation or
involvement therein, including without limitation any acts or omissions of such
CTTV Party as a member or manager of the Company and any obligations or
liabilities under the LLC Agreement and the Associated Agreements and (b) any
misrepresentation, omission, nonfulfillment or breach by ECD or the Company of
any covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or any
Transaction Agreement. The indemnification granted above (i) shall not be deemed
exclusive of, and shall not limit, any other rights or remedies to which any
CTTV Party may be entitled or which may otherwise be available to any CTTV Party
at law or in equity, (ii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors,
assigns and administrators of the CTTV Parties and (iii) shall remain and be in
full force and effect even if any such Loss directly or indirectly results from,
arises out of, or relates to or is asserted to have resulted from, arisen out
of, or related to, in whole or in part, one or more negligent acts or omissions
(or other concepts of liability or fault) of the CTTV Parties. Any indemnified
party shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense by ECD
and the Company of any indemnified Loss.

      Any party may, by written notice so delivered, change its address for
      notice purposes hereunder.

            (c) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
      with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Texas, without giving
      effect to principles of conflicts of law.

            (d)   Dispute Resolution.

      (i)   The parties shall attempt within thirty (30) days after the date
            (the "Issue Date") an issue is presented to it in good faith to
            resolve any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement,
            including any dispute over the breach, interpretation, or validity,
            but not the termination, of this Agreement.

                                       7

      (ii)  If the parties cannot so resolve any such dispute referred in clause
            (i) above within such thirty (30) day period, the parties agree to
            attempt in good faith to settle any such dispute over the breach,
            interpretation or validity of this Agreement, as well as a dispute
            over the termination of this Agreement (all of which such possible
            disputes are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Dispute"),
            by submitting the Dispute to mediation in Houston, Texas, under the
            Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association
            ("AAA"), within sixty (60) days after the Issue Date and may use any
            mediator in Houston, Texas upon which they mutually agree. If the
            parties have been unable to mutually agree upon a mediator within
            seventy five (75) days after the Issue Date, the case shall be
            referred to arbitration in accordance with the following paragraph.
            The cost of the mediator will be split equally between ECD and the
            Company, on the one hand, and CTTV, on the other hand, unless they
            agree otherwise.

      (iii) IF THE PARTIES ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN THEIR GOOD FAITH ATTEMPT TO
            MEDIATE THE DISPUTE OR SELECT A MUTUALLY AGREED UPON MEDIATOR, THE
            DISPUTE SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO, AND SETTLED BY, BINDING ARBITRATION
            IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THE PARTIES SHALL, WITHIN TWENTY (20) DAYS AFTER
            THE FORMAL CONCLUSION OF THE MEDIATION (OR 75 DAYS AFTER FAILURE TO
            SELECT A MUTUALLY AGREED UPON MEDIATOR) BUT NOT LATER THAN ONE
            HUNDRED TWENTY (120) DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE DATE, SELECT A MUTUALLY
            AGREED UPON SINGLE ARBITRATOR AND MAY UTILIZE ANY FORMAT AND RULES
            FOR THE BINDING ARBITRATION UPON WHICH THEY MAY MUTUALLY AGREE. IF
            THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO SO AGREE, THE DISPUTE SHALL BE SUBMITTED
            TO A SINGLE ARBITRATOR IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, UNDER THE COMMERCIAL
            ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AAA, WHICH PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED
            IN ENGLISH. SHOULD THE PARTIES BE UNABLE TO AGREE ON A CHOICE OF
            ARBITRATOR WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE AFORESAID
            SUBMISSION TO ARBITRATION, THE AAA SHALL FURNISH TO EACH PARTY A
            LIST OF THREE NAMES AND THE SELLER AND THE BUYER SHALL EACH STRIKE
            ONE NAME, THEREBY NOMINATING THE REMAINING PERSON AS THE ARBITRATOR.
            IF MORE THAN ONE NAME REMAINS, THE AAA WILL CHOOSE AN ARBITRATOR
            FROM THE LIST OF REMAINING NAMES. IN NO EVENT IS THE ARBITRATOR
            AUTHORIZED OR EMPOWERED TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
            OR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES. THE ARBITRATION AWARD
            SHALL BE IN ENGLISH AND IN WRITING AND SHALL SPECIFY THE FACTUAL AND
            LEGAL BASIS FOR THE AWARD. JUDGMENT UPON ANY AWARD RENDERED BY THE
            ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION. THE
            PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO

                                       8
<PAGE>

            REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES IN ANY COURT PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE
            ENFORCEMENT OR COLLECTION OF ANY AWARD OR JUDGMENT RENDERED BY THE
            ARBITRATOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

      (iv)  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any party may request
            injunctive relief and/or equitable relief from the arbitrators or
            the court in order to protect the rights or property of such party
            pending the resolution of the dispute as provided hereunder.

            (e) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the
      entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject
      matter hereof, superseding all negotiations, prior discussions,
      representations and prior agreements and understandings relating to such
      subject matter. No amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless
      mutually agreed to in writing.

            (f) Successors and Assigns; Assignments; No Third Party
      Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
      benefit of the parties hereto, and, except as otherwise prohibited, their
      respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor
      any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by
      any party without the prior written consent of the other parties. Nothing
      in this Agreement shall or is intended to confer upon any other person or
      entity any benefits, rights or remedies except for the benefits, rights
      and remedies of the CTTV Parties and the ECD Parties in Sections 6 and 7.
      Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute recognition by any party of any
      claims of any third party.

            (g) Severability. If any provision herein is contrary to any lawful
      statute, rule, regulation, proclamation or other lawful mandate
      whatsoever, whether or not listed, this Agreement shall be construed as
      modified to the extent necessary to conform with such legal strictures.
      The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent the partial
      invalidity of one or more provisions will not affect the validity of the
      Agreement as a whole so long as the economic or legal substance of the
      transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any materially adverse
      manner as to any party hereto.

            (h) Waiver. Any party may (i) extend the time for the performance of
      any of the obligations or other acts of any other party hereto or (ii)
      waive compliance with any of the agreements of any other party or with any
      conditions to its own obligations. Any agreement on the part of a party
      hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an
      instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Except as otherwise
      expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or
      single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any party, and
      no course of dealing between the parties, shall constitute a waiver of any
      such right, power or remedy. No waiver by a party of any default,
      misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
      intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent
      default,

                                       9
<PAGE>

      misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or
      affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent
      such occurrence.

            (i) Expenses. All costs and expenses, including without limitation,
      fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred in connection with this
      Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the
      party incurring such costs and expenses.

            (j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
      counterparts, and by different parties in separate counterparts, which
      when taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
      instrument.

            (k) Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement shall become effective upon
      execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto; delivery of this
      Agreement may be made by facsimile to the parties with original copies
      promptly to follow by overnight courier.

            (l) Headings. The headings of the Sections, Schedules and Exhibits
      of this Agreement are for guidance and convenience of reference only and
      have no significance in the interpretation of this Agreement or any
      Schedule or Exhibit hereto.

            (m) Books and Records. For a period of five years after the
      Effective Date or such longer period as may be prescribed by law, ECD and
      the Company will preserve and retain the books and records of the Company
      and make such books and records available at the then current
      administrative headquarters of the Company to CTTV and its officers,
      employees, agents and representatives, upon reasonable notice and at
      reasonable times, it being understood that CTTV shall be entitled to make
      copies of any such books and records as shall be reasonably necessary.
