admitted to the Company as a Member upon the approval of the Managers and such Persons shall be
admitted as Members of the Company; provided that (i) the issuance of new Units to be held
by such Additional Member has been approved in accordance with Section 3.1, and (ii) such
Additional Members execute a counterpart signature page to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by
the terms of this Agreement and any other agreements or instruments by which a Member is bound as a
condition to or by virtue of the Member’s ownership of Units.

     4.8. Resignation or Withdrawal of a Member. Except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, no Member shall have the right to resign or withdraw from membership in the Company or
withdraw its interest in the capital of the Company.

     4.9. Disassociation of a Member. The incapacity, death, Bankruptcy or Dissolution of
a Member or the redemption by the Company of all of such Member’s Units: (a) will cause such
Member to become a Disassociated Member; and (b) will terminate the membership of such Member in
the Company. A Disassociated Member shall have no right to participate in the management of the
business and affairs of the Company, but shall be entitled only to receive distributions and any
other share of profits to which the Disassociated Member would have been entitled under this
Agreement but for the incapacity, death, Bankruptcy or Dissolution of such Member.

     4.10. Rights of a Disassociated Member.

     4.10.1. Purchase Option of Disassociated Member’s Interests. In the event any
Member becomes a Disassociated Member, the Disassociated Member or its legal representative,
successor or assign may request admission to the Company as a Substitute Member pursuant to
Section 4.5 within ten (10) days of the event triggering the disassociation (the
“Date of Disassociation”). If no request for Substitute Member status is made and granted
pursuant to Section 4.5, the remaining Member(s) may elect, within thirty (30) days
of the expiration of the date by which such request was to be made (if no request is made),
or the date on which such request is denied (if such a request is not approved by the
Managers) (the “Disassociation Purchase Option Date”), to purchase the Dissociated
Member’s interest on such terms and conditions as the remaining Members and the Dissociated
Member or its legal representative, successor or assign may agree. If

 - 11 - 

 

the remaining Members and the Dissociated Member or its legal representative, successor
or assign do not agree, the remaining Members shall have an option (to be exercised within
sixty (60) days after the Disassociation Purchase Option Date by giving notice to
the Disassociated Member or its legal representative, successor or assign, as applicable) to
purchase the interest, for the Contract Price as specified in Section 4.10.2. The
number of Units of such Dissociated Member’s interest that a Member shall be entitled to
purchase pursuant to this Section 4.10.1 shall be determined based upon the
proportion that the Percentage Interest of such Member bears to the aggregate of the
Percentage Interests of all of the Members electing to purchase the Dissociated Member’s
interest. In the event any Member elects to purchase none or less than all of his, her or
its pro rata share of such Dissociated Member’s interest, then the other Members may elect
to purchase more than their pro rata share. If no request for Substitute Member status is
made and granted pursuant to Section 4.5, and the remaining Members do not exercise
their options under this Section 4.10, the Disassociated Member or its legal
representative, successor or assign shall thereafter have only those rights of an Assignee
under this Agreement.

     4.10.2. Contract Price. The “Contract Price” shall equal the fair market value
of the Disassociated Member’s Interest as of the Date of Disassociation. The fair market
value shall be determined within sixty (60) days after the Disassociation Purchase
Option Date by agreement among the Members, or if no agreement can be reached, then by
an appraisal (the appraiser shall be selected in accordance with Section 4.10.3) of
the fair market value of the Member’s Interest.

     4.10.3. Selection of Appraiser. If the appraisal of an Interest is required
pursuant to Section 4.10.2, then the parties shall attempt to agree on the selection
of an appraiser. If the parties cannot agree on an appraiser, then the Member (or such
Member’s representative) whose Interest is being transferred shall select a qualified
appraiser and the Company (at the direction of a Super-majority of the Managers) shall
select a second qualified appraiser. The two appraisers shall then select a third qualified
appraiser. The two appraisers selected by the transferring Member and the Company shall
prepare appraisals of the fair market value, and shall present those appraisals to the third
appraiser. The third appraiser acts as an arbitrator and determines the fair market value
by selecting either (i) one of the two appraisals presented, or (ii) a value between the two
appraisals presented. If the Members use one appraiser, then the cost of the appraiser
shall be split between the transferring Member and the Company. If the Members use three
appraisers, then: (A) the cost of the appraiser selected by the transferring Member and
one-half of the cost of the third appraiser shall be borne by the transferring Member; and
(B) the cost of the appraiser selected by the Company and one-half of the cost of the third
appraiser shall be borne by the Company. The decision of the appraiser or appraisers shall
be final and binding upon the Members and the Company.

     4.11. No Authority as Agent. No Member shall have the authority in its capacity as a
Member to enter into any transaction on behalf of the Company or to otherwise bind the Company.

- 12 -

 

     4.12. Interest in Property of the Company. Each Member’s Interest in the Company
shall for all purposes be personal property. No Member shall have any interest in specific Company
property. All property of the Company, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, shall be
deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, individually, shall have any direct
ownership in such property.

     4.13. Information Rights. In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or
by applicable law, a Member shall have the right on demand and at such Member’s own expense:

     4.13.1. To obtain any and all information regarding the status of the business and
financial condition of the Company;

     4.13.2. Promptly after becoming available, to obtain a copy of the Company’s Federal,
state, and local income tax returns for each year;

     4.13.3. To have furnished to it a current list of the name and last known business,
residence or mailing address of each Member;

     4.13.4. To obtain information regarding the Capital Contributions made by each Member;

     4.13.5. To receive a copy of this Agreement and the Articles and all amendments,

Articles, and all amendments that have been executed; and

     4.13.6. To inspect and copy any of the Company’s books and records and obtain such
other information regarding the affairs of the Company during normal business hours.

     4.14. Voting Rights. Except as expressly required by law or as provided in this
Agreement, Members shall have no voting, approval or consent rights. In matters on which Members
are entitled to vote, each Voting Unit carries one vote. Whenever this Agreement references an
action to be taken by the Members, such reference, unless otherwise stated, presumes that such
action requires the vote or consent of a majority in interest of the Voting Units issued and
outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of new Units will require the approval of
seventy-five percent (75%) of the Voting Units. Actions and decisions requiring the approval of
the Voting Members pursuant to any provision of this Agreement may be authorized or made either by
vote of the requisite percentage of interest of Voting Members taken at a meeting of the Voting
Members, or by unanimous written consent of all Voting Members. A corporate Voting Member may cast
its vote through any of such Voting Member’s duly authorized officers.

     4.15. Member Meetings. Member Meetings may be called by any Member or Manager, by
giving at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of the time, place and purpose of the meeting
to all Members. Any such meeting shall be held during the Company’s normal business hours at its
principal place of business, unless all of the Members consent in writing or by their attendance at
such meeting to its being held at another location or time. A Member may attend such meeting by
telephone or videoconference.

- 13 -

 

     4.16. Adjournment. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, a notice of
the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with Section 4.15. At the adjourned
meeting, the Company may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original
meeting.

     4.17. Waiver of Notice; Consent to Meeting. The actions taken at any meeting, however
called and noticed, and whenever held, are as valid as though the action was taken at a meeting
duly held, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the
meeting, each Member entitled to vote, but not present in person or by proxy, approves by signing a
written waiver of notice or an approval to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes
thereof. All waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the Company records or made a
part of the minutes of the meeting. A Member’s attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver
of notice of the meeting, except when such Member objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that
attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters
required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the objection is
expressly made at the meeting.

     4.18. Quorum. A majority in interest of the Voting Members, represented in person or
by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Members. In the absence of a quorum, any
meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the Members represented either in person
or by proxy pursuant to Section 4.16.

     4.19. Vote by Proxy. A Voting Member may vote by proxy given to any other Member.
Any such proxy must be in writing and must identify the special meeting or matter to which the
proxy applies or state that it applies to all matters coming before the Company for approval prior
to a specified date in the proxy under any provision of this Agreement. Any such proxy shall be
revocable at any time and shall not be effective at any meeting at which the Voting Member giving
such proxy is in attendance.

     4.20. Records of Meeting. The Company shall maintain records of all actions taken by
the Voting Members pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, including minutes of all Company
meetings, copies of all actions taken by consent of the Voting Members and copies of all proxies
pursuant to which one Voting Member votes or executes a consent on behalf of another.

shall be in the same amount as, and shall replace, the Capital Account of the assignor of
such Unit. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the assignor and assignee of a Unit

assignee in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests of all Units held by such
Persons.

     5.3.2. The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by the cash amount or the

the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to
Article 8 and the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or which are
secured by any property distributed to such Member.

     5.3.3. The Capital Account of each Member shall be decreased by the cash amount or
Gross Asset Value of any property distributed to a Member pursuant to this Agreement, such
Member’s allocable share of Losses, and any items in the nature of deductions or losses
which are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 8.2, Section
8.3, or Section 8.4, and the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by
the Company or for the satisfaction of which recourse may be made to only property

Regulations. If the Managers determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the
Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases to the Capital Accounts, are computed in

provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts of taxable income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit allocable to the Members.

Distribution Amount, if any, determined for such Member (including any Tax Distribution
Amount payable in respect of amounts allocated to the Non-Voting Members pursuant to
Section 8.2.1(ii));

     (ii) Second, 100% to the Non-Voting Members until the Non-Voting Members shall have
received an amount equal to the aggregate accrued but undistributed Preferred Return Amount,
less the aggregate amount, if any, previously distributed to the Non-Voting Members pursuant
to this Section 7.2(ii);

     (iii) Finally, any remaining Net Proceeds from Profits shall be distributed to all of
the Voting Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

     7.3. Tax Distributions. To the extent (i) sufficient Net Proceeds exist, and (ii)
permissible under Oklahoma law, and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7.4,
the Managers shall cause the Company to make aggregate annual distributions to the Voting and
Non-Voting Members of no less than an amount equal to the Tax Distribution Amounts. The

- 22 -

 

Managers may cause the Company to make such distributions of Tax Distribution Amounts
quarterly or at such other times as the Managers may determine. Distributions of Tax Distribution
Amounts shall not be considered to be a distribution of amounts under Section 7.2(ii),
Section 7.2(iii), or Section 7.2(iv), and Tax Distribution Amounts shall not reduce
the Preferred Return Amount, the Original Issue Price for the Non-Voting Units, or otherwise be
considered as distributions to the Members of amounts that would otherwise be distributable to the
Members under Section 7.2.

     7.4. Restrictions on Distributions. The following restrictions on distributions shall
apply to all distributions made by the Company to the Members:

     7.4.1. The Company shall not make any distribution to the Members unless, immediately
after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities to creditors of the Company, other
than liabilities as to which recourse of creditors is limited to specified property of the
Company, do not exceed the fair market value of the Company property (including intangible
assets); provided, however, that the fair value of any property that is
subject to a liability as to which recourse of creditors is so limited shall be included in
the Company assets only to the extent that the fair value of the property exceeds such
liability.

     7.4.2. The Company shall not make any distribution to the Members unless, immediately
after giving effect to the distribution, the Company shall have sufficient cash available to
meet the reasonably anticipated needs of the Company, as such needs are determined in the
sole discretion of the Managers.

     7.4.3. The Company shall not make any distribution to the Members to the extent such
distribution would result in a default under, or a violation of or cause the acceleration of
any indebtedness under, any credit or loan agreement with the Company.

     7.5. Return of Distributions. Members and Assignees who receive distributions made in
error or in violation of the Act or this Agreement shall hold such improper distributions in trust
for, and promptly return such improper distributions to, the Company. Except for such improper
distributions, no Member or Assignee shall be obligated to return any distribution to the Company
or pay the amount of any distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the
Company. The amount of any distribution returned to the Company by a Member or Assignee or paid by
a Member or Assignee for the account of the Company or to a creditor of the Company shall be added
to the Capital Account(s) from which it was subtracted when it was distributed to the Member or
Assignee.

     7.6. No Other Withdrawals. Except as provided in this Article 7 or
Article 11, no withdrawals or distributions shall be required or permitted.

     7.7. In-Kind Distributions. If property is distributed in-kind to the Members, the
difference between the gross fair market value of such property (as determined by the Managers) and
its Gross Asset Value shall be considered gain or loss that is recognized by the Company and such
gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Article
8.

- 23 -

 

     7.8. Withholding on Distributions. All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to
the Code or any provision of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment,
distribution or allocation to the Company or any Member and treated by the Code (whether or not
withheld pursuant to the Code) or any such tax law as amounts payable by or in respect of any
Member or any Person owning an interest, directly or indirectly, in such Member shall be treated as
amounts distributed to the Member for purposes of Section 7.2. The Managers are authorized
to withhold from distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to
any federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to
the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state, local or foreign law and shall allocate any
such amounts to the Member with respect to which such amount was withheld.

     7.9. Distributions and Capital Accounts. The provisions in this Agreement regarding
the maintenance of Capital Accounts and allocations of Profits, Loss, and other items of Company
income, gain, loss or deduction are intended to effect an allocation of tax items of the Company
that are in accordance with the Members’ “interests in the partnership” within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3) by utilizing the principles of allocation contained in
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and Regulations Section 1.704-2 with respect to maintenance
of capital accounts and allocations, and shall be interpreted and applied accordingly. For
purposes of applying the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Capital Accounts, it shall be
assumed that the Company satisfies the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2)
and (3). Capital Account balances shall not be used to determine the amount or timing of
distributions to the Members pursuant to the Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

ALLOCATIONS

     8.1. Percentage Interests. The initial Percentage Interest of each Member shall be as
set forth in Exhibit A (as it may be amended in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement).

     8.2. Allocation of Profits and Losses.

     8.2.1. Allocation of Profits. After giving effect to the allocations set forth
in Section 8.3 and Section 8.4, Profits for the relevant Accounting Period
shall be allocated to the Members in the following manner:

     (i) First, the Profits for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to the
Non-Voting Members and Voting Members to the extent any Losses were allocated to
these Non-Voting Members and Voting Members, as the case may be, pursuant to
Section 8.2.2, and which have not been previously offset by any allocations
of Profits pursuant to this Section 8.2.1, to be allocated among these
Non-Voting Members and Voting Members in the inverse order that such Losses were
allocated to these Non-Voting and Voting Members under Section 8.2.2;

     (ii) Second, the Profits shall be allocated 100% to the Non-Voting Members in
an amount equal to the aggregate Preferred Return Amount accrued in respect of the
Non-Voting Units as of the end of the relevant Accounting

- 24 -

 

Period, minus the aggregate amount, if any, previously allocated to the
Non-Voting Members pursuant to this Section 8.2.1(ii); and

     (iii) Finally, any remaining Profits shall be allocated to the Voting Members
pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

     8.2.2. Allocation of Losses. After giving effect to the allocations set forth
in Section 8.3 and Section 8.4, and subject to the limitation set forth in
Section 8.2.3, Losses for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Members in the
following order and priority: (i) first, to the Voting Members, in an amount up to, and in
proportion to, the Profits allocated to these Voting Members under Section
8.2.1(iii), (ii) second, 100% to the Non-Voting Members in an amount up to, and in
proportion to, the amount of Profits allocated to the Non-Voting Members under Section
8.2.1(ii), (iii) third, 100% to the Voting Members in proportion to their positive
Adjusted Capital Account balances until such positive Adjusted Capital Account balances have
been reduced to $0, and (iv) fourth, 100% to the Non-Voting Members in proportion to their
positive Adjusted Capital Account balances until such positive Adjusted Capital Account
balances have been reduced to $0.

     8.2.3. Limitation on Allocations of Losses. The Losses allocated pursuant to
Section 8.2.2 to any Member for any Fiscal Year cannot exceed the maximum amount of
Losses that may be allocated to such Member without causing such Member to have an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit at the end of such Fiscal Year. All Losses in excess of the
limitation in this Section 8.2.3 will be allocated solely to the other Members
pursuant to Section 8.2.2.

     8.3. Special Allocations.

     8.3.1. Minimum Gain Chargeback; Company Nonrecourse Liabilities. If there is a
net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, certain items of income and
gain will be allocated (on a gross basis) to the Members in accordance with the rules
described in Regulations sections 1.704-2(f), (j)(2)(i) and (j)(2)(iii), subject to the
exemptions set forth in Regulations section l.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5). This
Section 8.3.1 is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement
set forth in Regulations section 1.704-2(f) relating to partnership nonrecourse liabilities
(as defined in Regulations section l.704-2(b)(3)) and will be so interpreted.

     8.3.2. Minimum Gain Chargeback; Member Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a net
decrease in Member Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, certain items of income and gain
will be allocated (on a gross basis) as quickly as possible to those Members who had a share
of the Member Minimum Gain (determined pursuant to Regulations section l.704-2(i)(5)) in
accordance with the rules described in Regulations sections 1.704-2(i)(4), (j)(2)(ii) and
(j)(2)(iii). This Section 8.3.2 is intended to comply with the “minimum gain
chargeback” requirement set forth in Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) relating to Member
nonrecourse debt (as defined in Regulations section 1.704-2(b)(4)) and will be so
interpreted.

- 25 -

 

     8.3.3. Qualified Income Offset. If any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit, items of Company income and gain will be specially allocated (on a gross basis) to
the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible.
This Section 8.3.3 is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset”
requirement set forth in Regulations section 1.704 l(b)(2)(ii)(b) and will be so
interpreted.

     8.3.4. Optional Basis Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted
tax basis of any asset of the Company pursuant to Code sections 734(b) or 743(b) is
required, pursuant to Regulations section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts, 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 such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to
the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are
required to be adjusted pursuant to Regulations section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m).

     8.3.5. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will
be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

     8.3.6. Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions will be
allocated pursuant to Regulations sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1) to the Member who bears
the economic risk of loss with respect to the deductions.

     8.4. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 8.3 (the
“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the
Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory
Allocations will be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of
other items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit pursuant to this Section
8.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 (other than with
respect to the Regulatory Allocations), the Managers shall make the offsetting special allocations
of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in whatever manner it determines appropriate so
that, after the offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the
extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance the Member would have had if the Regulatory
Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all items were allocated pursuant to Section
8.2.

     8.5. Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code section 704(c)
and the applicable Regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and
tax depreciation with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company with a fair
market value different from its adjusted tax basis at the time of contribution, or with respect to
any property that has an adjusted fair market value different from its adjusted tax basis, shall,
solely for income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any
variation between the Company’s adjusted tax basis in the property and the fair market value of the
property. Unless otherwise agreed upon by a Super-majority of Managers, the “traditional method”
under Section 1.704-3(b)(1) of the Regulations will be elected by the Company to handle any
book-tax disparity under Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to any asset, and to

- 26 -

 

the extent allowable under applicable Regulations, different methods may be used for different
assets. In addition, if any gain (as computed for federal income tax purposes) on the sale or
other disposition of Company property constitutes recapture of depreciation under Code sections
291, 1245 or 1250 or any similar provision, the gain will (to the extent possible) be divided among
the Members in proportion to the depreciation deductions previously claimed by them (or their
predecessors in interest) giving rise to the recapture; provided, however, that
this sentence will not affect the amount of gain otherwise allocable to a Member.

     8.6. Other Allocation Rules.

     8.6.1. For purposes of determining the Profits and Losses, and such other items will be
determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Managers using any
permissible method under Code section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

     8.6.2. For federal income tax purposes, every item of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit will be allocated among the Members in accordance with the allocation provisions of
Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4.

     8.6.3. The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by
this Article 8 and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 8 in
reporting their shares of partnership income and loss for income tax purposes.

     8.6.4. It is intended that the allocations in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and
8.5 effect an allocation for federal income tax purposes consistent with Code
section 704 and comply with any limitations or restrictions therein. The Managers may alter
the allocations pursuant to this Article 8 in any manner consistent with Code
section 704 and amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to comply with the
Regulations promulgated under Code section 704, if, in the opinion of counsel, such an
amendment is advisable to reflect allocations among the Members consistent with such
Regulations, and such allocation will not have a material effect on the distributions which
would otherwise be made pursuant to Article 7 or Article 11.

     8.6.5. The Managers may vary the allocations described in Article 8 and the
Capital Accounts of the Members attributable to such allocations to the extent necessary to
avoid any double counting of Profits or Losses including, for example, double counting that
could occur in the event that there is a Revaluation Event.

     8.7. Changes in Percentage Interests. If a Member’s Percentage Interest changes at
any time during a Fiscal Year, then, for purposes of making the allocations required under this
Article 8, the Percentage Interests of the relevant Members will be adjusted in accordance
with Code section 706 using any reasonable convention determined by the Managers.

     8.8. Treatment of Preferred Return Amount. The Company intends not to treat the
accrual of the Preferred Return Amount during each Accounting Period as a “guaranteed payment” by
the Company to the Non-Voting Members under Section 707(c) of the Code, but if the Managers believe
that the Company is required by law, or if the Internal Revenue Service successfully asserts, that
the Preferred Return Amount should be so treated, then (I) the Preferred Return Amount shall be so
treated, (II) the Company shall cease making allocations of Profits or

- 27 -

 

Gain from a Change of Control Transaction to the Non-Voting Members in respect of the
Preferred Return Amount under Section 8.2.1(ii), and (III) the Company shall make
additional distributions of Tax Distribution Amounts to the Non-Voting Members pursuant to
Section 8.2.1(i) in respect of such accrued guaranteed payment amounts to the extent that
the aggregate Tax Distribution Amounts (treating the accrual of the Preferred Return Amount as an
allocation of taxable income to the holders of the Non-Voting Units as being entitled to a Tax
Distribution Amount with respect to such accrual) as redetermined based on such tax treatment,
exceeds the aggregate Tax Distribution Amounts previously distributed to the Non-Voting Members
pursuant to Section 7.2.1(i) with respect to allocations of income pursuant to Section
8.2.1(ii).

     10.3. Duties and Liabilities of Covered Persons. To the extent that, at law or in
equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto
to the Company or to any other Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be

(including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or
proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of

     10.7. Competing Activities; Confidential Information.

     10.7.1. As long as a Person is a Member of the Company, such Member and its Affiliates
shall not engage in business activities which are in direct competition with the business of
the Company within the state of Oklahoma. The restrictions contained herein are in addition
to and not in lieu of any other restrictions contained in any employment agreement which a
Member may have with the Company.

     10.7.2. Except as provided in Section 10.7.1, and except with respect to
officers or employees of the Company who are also Members, nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to restrict in any way the rights of any Member, or of any Affiliate of any
Member, to conduct any other business or activity whatsoever, and no Member shall be
accountable to the Company or to any other Member with respect to that business or activity.
The organization of the Company shall be without prejudice to the Members’ (other than
officers or employees of the Company) respective rights (or the rights of their respective
Affiliates) to maintain, expand, or diversify such other interests and activities

- 31 -

 

and to receive and enjoy profits or compensation therefrom. Each Member waives any
rights the Member might otherwise have to share or participate in such other interests or
activities of any other Member or the Member’s Affiliates. Nothing in this Section
10.7.2 shall be deemed to modify in any manner separate noncompetition agreements
executed by certain Members for the benefit of the Company.

     10.7.3. Each Member and Manager acknowledges and agrees that the information,
observations, trade secrets and data concerning the business and affairs of the Company
obtained by them by reason of their membership herein or management hereof
(“Confidential Information”) are the property of the Company. Therefore, each
Member and Manager agrees that such Member or Manager, as the case may be, shall not
disclose to any unauthorized person or use for such Member’s or Manager’s own account any
Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the disinterested Managers
unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters (a) become generally known to and
available for use by the public other than as a result of such Member’s or Manager’s acts or
omissions to act or (b) must be disclosed under a subpoena or other governmental order (but
then, only after the Company is given notice of such subpoena or order and the opportunity
to seek a protective order).

     10.7.4. Any Member or Manager whose Interest is terminated shall at such time deliver
to the Company all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports (including, without limitation,
all business plans, financial projections and financial models), computer tapes and discs
and software and other documents and data relating to the Confidential Information which
such Member or Manager has in its, his or her possession or under such Member’s or Manager’s
control.

     10.7.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall in
any way limit the Company’s rights with respect to the limitations on disclosure, use and
return of Confidential Information as may be set forth in any employment, consulting or
similar agreement with any Member or Manager.

     10.8. Survival. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions
of this Article 10 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

     (ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act; or

     (iii) the date sixty (60) calendar days after the Company is not treated as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes; provided that the Company uses
reasonable efforts to restore its partnership tax status in such sixty (60)-day
period, except that no dissolution shall occur pursuant to this clause if treatment

- 32 -

 

of the Company other than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes
occurs as a result of a voluntary election by the Company of such other treatment.

     11.2. Authority to Wind Up. The Managers shall have all necessary power and authority
required to marshal the assets of the Company, to pay the Company’s creditors, to establish
reasonable reserves for contingent liabilities of the Company, to distribute assets and otherwise
wind up the business and affairs of the Company. In particular, the Managers shall have the
authority to continue to conduct the business and affairs of the Company insofar as such continued
operation remains consistent, in the judgment of the Managers, with the orderly winding up of the
Company.

     11.3. Articles of Dissolution; Winding Up. When an event set forth in Section
11.1 occurs, the Company shall file Articles of Dissolution as required by the Act, and shall
take whatever other action may be advisable or proper to carry out the liquidation and winding up

obligations of the Company have been paid and discharged or reasonably adequate provision therefor
has been made, and all of the remaining property and assets of the Company have been distributed to
the Members.

     11.4. Distribution of Property. Upon dissolution and winding up of the Company, the
affairs of the Company shall be wound up and the Company liquidated by the Members. The assets of
the Company shall be applied to pay creditors of the Company in the order of priority provided by
law. Any remaining assets shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions
(and priorities) set forth in Section 7.2.

     11.5. Capital Account Deficit. Any Member with a deficit in its Capital Account shall

ARTICLE XII

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS REGARDING THE TRANSFER OF UNITS.

     12.1. Rights of First Refusal. Each time a Member holding Units (the
“Transferring Member”) proposes to transfer all or any portion of the Units held by such
Member (or is required to do so by operation of law or other involuntary means), such Member shall
first comply with the following provisions and the provisions of this Article 12.

     12.2. Transfer Notice. The Transferring Member shall deliver a written notice (the
“Transfer Notice”) to (a) the other Members, and (b) the Company stating (i) the
Transferring Member’s bona fide intention to transfer such Units, (ii) the number of Units to be
transferred, (iii) the purchase price and terms of payment for which the Transferring Member
proposes to transfer such Units and (iv) the name and address of the proposed transferee (the
“Proposed Transferee”).

     12.3. Option Period. For a period of thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the
Transfer Notice, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase all
or any portion of the Units upon the price and terms of payment designated in the Transfer Notice.
If the Transfer Notice provides for the payment of non-cash consideration, the Company

- 33 -

 

may elect to pay the consideration in cash equal to the good faith estimate of the present
fair market value of the non-cash consideration offered as determined by the Managers. Within
thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Transfer Notice, the Managers on behalf of the
Company, to the extent the Company is electing to purchase Units pursuant to this Section
12.3, shall notify the Transferring Member and the non-Transferring Members in writing of the
Company’s intent to purchase all or any portion of the Units proposed to be so transferred. The
failure of the Company to submit a notice within the applicable period shall constitute an election
on the part of the Company not to purchase any of the Units which may be so transferred.

     12.4. Member Purchase. If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Units
proposed to be transferred within the thirty (30)-day period described in Section 12.3, the
non-Transferring Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase any
remaining portion of such Units (the “Remaining Units”) upon the price and terms of payment
designated in the Transfer Notice. If the Transfer Notice provides for the payment of non-cash
consideration, the non-Transferring Members each may elect to pay the consideration in cash equal
to the good faith estimate of the present fair market value of the non-cash consideration offered
as determined by the Managers. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the expiration of the
thirty (30)-day period described in Section 12.3, each non-Transferring Member electing to
purchase the Remaining Units pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall notify the Managers and
the Transferring Member in writing of his, her or its desire to purchase a portion of the Remaining
Units. The failure of any non-Transferring Member to submit a notice within the applicable period
shall constitute an election on the part of that non-Transferring Member not to purchase any of the
Remaining Units. The number of Remaining Units that each non-Transferring Member shall be entitled
to purchase pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall be determined based upon the proportion
that the Percentage Interest of such non-Transferring Member bears to the aggregate of the
Percentage Interests of all of the non-Transferring Members electing to purchase the Remaining
Units. In the event any non-Transferring Member elects to purchase none or less than all of his,
her or its pro rata share of such Remaining Units, then the other non-Transferring Members may
elect to purchase more than their pro rata share.

     12.5. Closing of Purchase. If the Company and the non-Transferring Members elect to
purchase or obtain any or all of the Units designated in the Transfer Notice, then (a) the closing
of such purchase shall occur no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the Transfer
Notice and (b) the Transferring Member, the Company and the non-Transferring Members, as
applicable, shall execute such documents and instruments and make such deliveries as may be
reasonably required to consummate such purchase.

     12.6. Transfer. If the Company and the non-Transferring Members elect not to purchase
or obtain, or default in their obligation to purchase or obtain, the Units which they have elected
to purchase, then the Transferring Member may transfer any such Units not so purchased to the
Proposed Transferee; provided that such transfer (a) is completed within sixty (60)
calendar days after the expiration of the Company’s and the non-Transferring Members’ right to
purchase such Units (as set forth in Sections 12.3 and 12.4 above), (b) is made on
terms not more materially favorable to the Proposed Transferee than as designated in the Transfer
Notice, and (c) complies with Section 4.4. If the Units described in the Transfer Notice
are not so transferred, the Transferring Member must give notice in accordance with Section
12.2 prior to any other or subsequent transfer of such Units.

given by delivering to the other Members ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof, setting forth
the address of such additional parties. Notice required to be delivered hereunder to any Member

13.1.

word is used in this Agreement, it will include the singular form of that word. Whenever the
singular form of a word is used in this Agreement, it will include the plural form of that word.

of such items. The locative adverbs “hereof,” “herein,” “hereafter,” etc. refer to this Agreement
as a whole.

     13.4. Further Actions. The parties to this Agreement shall execute and deliver all
documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking action as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

     13.7. Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any
covenants, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy
arising from a breach shall constitute waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty,
agreement or condition.

together shall constitute an agreement binding on all the parties, notwithstanding that all such
parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart. Each party shall become bound

other party. The parties agree to treat documents sent via electronic mail (“email”) and telephonic

email, sent by the other party.
