jurisdiction other than Delaware, the Manager shall cause the LLC to comply, to
the extent procedures are available and those matters are reasonably within the
control of the Officers, with all requirements necessary to qualify the LLC as a
foreign limited liability company in that jurisdiction.  At the
request of the Manager or any Officer, each Member shall execute, acknowledge,
swear to and deliver any or all certificates and other instruments conforming
with this Agreement that are necessary or appropriate to qualify, continue and
terminate the LLC as a foreign limited liability company in all such
jurisdictions in which the LLC may conduct business.

     

    SECTION
2.08.  Tax
Classification of LLC.  The Members intend that the LLC shall
be treated as a partnership for federal and state or local income tax purposes,
and that each Member and the LLC shall file all tax returns and shall otherwise
take all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such
treatment.

    SECTION
3.01.  Sole
Manager.  The Members shall not manage and control the business
and affairs of the LLC, except for situations in which the approval of the
Members is required by this Agreement or by non-waivable provisions of
applicable law.  The Manager shall exclusively manage and control the
LLC’s business, affairs and day-to-day operations and, in such capacity, shall
be the “manager” of the LLC within the meaning of the Delaware Act.

     

    SECTION
3.02.  Authority of the Sole
Manager.  Except for situations in which the approval of the
Members is otherwise required by this Agreement, or by non-waivable provisions
of applicable law, (i) the powers of the LLC shall be exercised by or under
the sole, absolute and exclusive direction of the Manager, (ii) the Manager
may make all decisions and take all actions for the LLC not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement, and (iii) the Manager shall possess all powers
necessary, convenient or appropriate to carry out the business of the LLC,
including doing all things and taking all actions necessary to carry out the
terms and provisions of this Agreement (and is hereby authorized and directed,
on behalf of the LLC and in accordance with Section 18-404(c) of the Delaware
Act, to do all such things and to take all such actions without any further act,
vote, consent or approval of any Member or the Board, unless otherwise
specifically required by this Agreement).

     

    SECTION
3.03.  Authority of
Members.  In all matters relating to or arising out of the
conduct of the operation of the LLC, the decision of the Manager shall be the
decision of the LLC.  Except as required or permitted by applicable
law, or expressly provided in the ultimate sentence of this Section 3.03 or
by separate agreement with the LLC, no Member who is not also the Manager (and
acting in such capacity) shall take any part in the management or control of the
operation or business of the LLC in its capacity as a Member, nor shall any
Member who is not also the Manager (and acting in such capacity) have any right,
authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the LLC in his or its
capacity as a Member in any respect or assume any obligation or responsibility
of the LLC or of any other Member.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
LLC may employ one or more Officers from time to time, and such Officers, in
their capacity as employees of the LLC, may take part in the control and
management of the business of the LLC to the extent such authority and power to
act for or on behalf of the LLC has been delegated to them by the
Manager.

    SECTION
3.04.  Removal and Replacement of
Manager.  The Manager may not be removed or replaced at any
time with or without the consent of the Manager.

     

    SECTION
3.05.  Reliance by Third
Parties.  Any Person dealing with the LLC, other than a Member,
may rely on the authority of the Manager (or any Officer authorized by the
Manager) in taking any action in the name of the LLC without inquiry into the
provisions of this Agreement or compliance herewith, regardless of whether that
action actually is taken in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.  Every agreement, instrument or document executed by the
Manager (or any Officer authorized by the Manager) in the name of the LLC with
respect to any business or property of the LLC shall be conclusive evidence in
favor of any Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the
time of the execution or delivery thereof, this Agreement was in full force and
effect, (ii) such agreement, instrument or document was duly executed
according to this Agreement and is binding upon the LLC and (iii) the
Manager or such Officer was duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver
such agreement, instrument or document for and on behalf of the
LLC.

     

    SECTION
3.06.  Officers.  (a)  Designation and
Appointment.  The officers of the Corporation shall
automatically be designated and appointed as Officers of the LLC, with titles,
duties and authority corresponding to the titles, duties and authority held by
such Officers in their capacity as officers of the Corporation, and with no
specific action required by the Manager in order to appoint such
persons.  In addition, the Manager may (but need not), from time to
time, designate and appoint one or more persons as additional Officers of the
LLC.  No Officer need be a resident of the State of Delaware or a
Member.  Any additional Officers so designated shall have such
authority and perform such duties as the Manager may, from time to time,
delegate to them, and no Officer shall be deemed to be a Manager as a result of
his or her status as an Officer.  The Manager may assign titles to
particular Officers and create officer
positions in its discretion.  Unless the Manager otherwise decides, if
the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation, the
assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the
authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to
any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such Officer by the
Corporation or by the Manager pursuant to this
Section 3.06(a).  Each Officer shall hold office until such
Officer’s successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until such
Officer’s death or
until such Officer shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner
hereinafter provided.  Any number of offices may be held by the same
individual.  The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the
Officers and agents of the LLC shall be fixed from time to time by the
Corporation or the Manager, as applicable.

    (b)  Resignation/Removal.  Any
Officer (subject to any contract rights available to the LLC, if applicable) may
resign as such at any time.  Such resignation shall be made in writing
and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified,
at the time of its receipt by the Manager.  The acceptance of a
resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so
provided in the resignation.  Any Officer may be removed as such,
either with or without cause, by the Manager in its discretion at any time;
provided,
however,
that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of
the individual so removed.  Designation of an Officer shall not of
itself create contract rights.  Any vacancy occurring in any office of
the LLC may be filled by the Manager.

    Distributions and
Allocations

     

    SECTION
4.01.  Distributions.  (a)  After
all Bridge Preferred Distributions have been made pursuant to Section 4.01(g),
the Manager, in its discretion, may authorize distributions by the LLC to the
Members (including in the event of an extraordinary dividend, refinancing,
recapitalization, merger or other restructuring transaction), which
distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with the Members’ respective
Unit Percentages.

     

    (b)  At
the IPO Effective Time, each Management Member (other than Edelman) deposited
with the Escrow Agent one-half of the number of IPO Effective Time Units issued
to such Management Member in respect of the C Units and/or D Units held by such
Management Member under the A&R LLC Agreement, together with an equal number
of shares of Class B Stock (collectively, the “Escrowed
Securities”).  The Escrowed Securities are held by the Escrow
Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

     

    (c)  Greenlight
and Third Point shall provide to the Manager within five Business Days after the
True-Up Date a certificate setting forth (i) the date of each
Greenlight/Third Point Sale, (ii) the price per share of Common Stock sold
by Greenlight and/or Third Point in such Greenlight/Third Point Sale,
(iii) the number of shares of Common Stock sold by Greenlight and/or Third
Point in such Greenlight/Third Point Sale, (iv) the number of Common Units
and number of shares of Common Stock held by each of Greenlight and Third Point
as of the True-Up Date, if any (and the number of shares that are deemed to have
been sold on the True-Up Date for purposes of this Section 4.01(c)), and
(v) the Trading Price as of the True-Up Date.

     

    (d)  Within
ten Business Days after the True-Up Date, Greenlight shall prepare, in
consultation with the Manager, Third Point and the Management Members, and
deliver to each of the Manager, Third Point and each Management Member a
certificate (the “True-Up
Certificate”) setting forth the True-Up Value and each Management
Member’s IPO Effective Time Units, Trued-Up Units and the related Excess Amount
or Shortfall Amount, as applicable.  The True-Up Certificate shall set
forth computations and other information in reasonable detail sufficient to
demonstrate the calculation of such amounts.  Each of the Manager,
Third Point and each Management Member shall assist Greenlight in the
preparation of the True-Up Certificate as reasonably requested by
Greenlight.

    
      
         

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    
 

    (i) The
True-Up Certificate shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the
tenth Business Day following the receipt by the Manager, Third Point and the
Management Members of the True-Up Certificate, unless the Manager, Third Point
or a Management Member gives written notice of its disagreement with the True-Up
Certificate (a “Notice
of Disagreement”) to Greenlight, with a copy to the Manager, prior to
such date.  Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable
detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted.  If a Notice of
Disagreement is received by Greenlight and the Manager in a timely manner, then
the True-Up Certificate shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the
earlier of (A) the date that the Manager, Greenlight, Third Point and the
Management Members resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to
the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (B) the date any disputed
matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm.

     

    (ii)
During the ten Business Day-period following the delivery of a Notice of
Disagreement, the Manager, Greenlight, Third Point and the Management Members
shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may
have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of
Disagreement.  At the end of such ten Business Day-period, Greenlight
and the Manager shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for
arbitration any and all matters that remain in dispute and were included in the
Notice of Disagreement.  The Accounting Firm shall be such nationally
recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by the
Manager, Greenlight, Third Point and the Management Members in
writing.  Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the
Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party or parties
against which such determination is to be enforced.

     

    (e)  In
the event that:

     

    (i) a
Management Member’s IPO Effective Time Units are greater than such Management
Member’s Trued-Up Units (the excess being the “Excess Amount”),
then

     

    (A)  with
respect to such Management Member (other than Edelman), a number of Common Units
equal to the product of (A) the Greenlight/Third Point Specified A Unit
Percentage and (B) the lesser of (x) the Excess Amount and (y) the number of
such Management Member’s Escrowed Securities, shall be released and distributed
in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to Greenlight and Third Point pro rata
based on their respective Specified A Unit Percentages, and all of such
Management Member’s Escrowed Securities that are not required to be distributed
to Greenlight or Third Point shall be released and distributed to such
Management Member in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; and

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          18

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (B)  with
respect to Edelman, he shall either (x) distribute a number of Common Units
equal to Edelman’s Excess Amount to Greenlight and Third Point pro rata based on
their respective Specified A Unit Percentages, or (y) pay an amount in
cash equal to the product of (i) Edelman’s Excess Amount, multiplied by
(ii) the Trading Price as of the date of payment, to Greenlight and Third Point
pro rata based on their respective Specified A Unit Percentages;
and

     

    (ii) a
Management Member’s IPO Effective Time Units are less than such Management
Member’s Trued-Up Units (the shortfall being the “Shortfall Amount”),
then both:

     

    (A)  Greenlight
and Third Point shall deliver to such Management Member either (or any
combination of):

     

    (x)   a
number of Common Units equal to the product of (I) such Management Member’s
Shortfall Amount, multiplied by (II) Greenlight’s or Third Point’s
applicable Specified A Unit Percentage; or

     

    (y)   an
amount in cash equal to the product of (I) such Management Member’s Shortfall
Amount, multiplied by (II) the Trading Price as of the date of payment,
multiplied by (III) Greenlight’s or Third Point’s applicable Specified A
Unit Percentage; and

     

    (B)  all
of such Management Member’s Escrowed Securities shall be released and delivered
to such Management Member in accordance with the Escrow Agreement;
and

     

    (iii) to
the extent a Member is obligated to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Common
Units pursuant to this Section 4.01(e), (I) such Member may deliver, or cause to
be delivered, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common
Units required to be delivered in lieu of delivering such Common Units (or any
combination of shares of Common Stock and Common Units) and (II) to the extent
such Member does not deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with clause
(I) above (and does not deliver cash in lieu of Common Units, if permitted),
shall also deliver with such Common Units a number of shares of Class B Stock
equal to the number of Common Units required to be delivered.

     

    (iv) In
furtherance of the foregoing, promptly upon the True-Up Certificate becoming
final and binding upon the parties, as provided in this Section 4.01, the
Manager, in consultation with Greenlight and Third Point, shall prepare the
release certificate contemplated by the Escrow Agreement and deliver such
release certificate to the Escrow Agent.

    (f)  (i) In
addition to the foregoing, if the Manager reasonably determines that the
operations of the LLC for a Fiscal Year will give rise to net taxable income for
any of the Members (“Net
Taxable Income”), the Manager shall cause the LLC to distribute Available
Cash for purposes of allowing each of the Members to fund their respective
income tax liabilities attributable to the LLC (the “Tax
Distributions”).  The Tax Distributions payable to a Member
with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be computed based upon the Manager’s
estimate of the Net Taxable Income allocable to such Member for such Fiscal Year
in accordance with this Article IV (taking into account the effect of
Section 4.04(b)), multiplied by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax
Amount”).  For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the effect
of any benefit to a Member under Section 743(b) of the Code will be ignored
but any tax credits allocated to a Member for such Fiscal Year shall be taken
into account.  No Tax Distributions shall be made with respect to the
Bridge Preferred LLC Interests.

     

    (ii) Tax
Distributions shall be calculated and paid no later than one day prior to each
quarterly due date for the payment by corporations of estimated taxes under the
Code in the following manner: (A) for the first quarterly period, 25% of
the Tax Amount, (B) for the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount,
less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year, (C) for the third
quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for
the Fiscal Year and (D) for the fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax
Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal
Year.  Following each Fiscal Year, and no later than one day prior to
the due date for the payment by corporations of income taxes for such Fiscal
Year, the Manager shall make an amended calculation of the Tax Amount for such
Fiscal Year (the “Amended Tax Amount”),
and shall cause the LLC to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Available Cash,
to the extent that the Amended Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative
Tax Distributions previously made by the LLC in respect of such Fiscal
Year.  If the Amended Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax
Distributions previously made by the LLC in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year,
then the difference (the “Credit Amount”) shall
be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made to
the Members for subsequent Fiscal Years.  Within 30 days following the
date on which the LLC files a tax return on IRS Form 1065 (or any successor
form), the Manager shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount of such
Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”)
and shall cause the LLC to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Available Cash,
to the extent that the Final Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the Amended Tax
Amount.  If the Final Tax Amount is less than the Amended Tax Amount
in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (“Additional Credit
Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax
Distributions made to the Members for subsequent Fiscal Years.  Any
Credit Amount and Additional Credit Amount applied against future Tax
Distributions shall be treated as an amount actually distributed pursuant to
this Section for purposes of the computations herein.  In the event
that the Tax Distributions made to a Member for any Fiscal Year shall be less
than the Final Tax Amount for such Member due to an insufficiency of Available
Cash, then such Member shall receive additional Tax Distributions out of the
first Available Cash in subsequent Fiscal Years to make up for such
shortfall.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          20

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (iii) For
the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Distributions distributed to a Member pursuant
to this Section 4.01(f) shall not affect the amount of distributions that
may be made to such Member pursuant to Section 4.01(a).

     

    (g)  The
LLC shall make priority Distributions to the Bridge Preferred Member with
respect to its Bridge Preferred LLC Interest in an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the Bridge Loan Capital Contribution and (ii) all accrued and unpaid Bridge
Preferred Returns (collectively, the “Bridge
Preferred Distributions”).  The LLC shall make the Bridge
Preferred Distributions at such times and in such amounts so as to enable the
Bridge Preferred Member to timely make all required payments under the Bridge
Loan Agreement; provided
that any Bridge Preferred Distributions to be made with the proceeds of the
Rights Offering or the Private Placement shall be made promptly upon receipt of
such proceeds.

     

    SECTION
4.02.  Liquidation
Distribution.  Distributions made upon Liquidation of the LLC
shall be made as provided in Section 9.02.

     

    SECTION
4.03.  Limitations on
Distribution.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Manager shall not authorize a distribution to
any Member if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the
Delaware Act or other applicable law.

     

    SECTION
4.04.  Allocations.  (a)  Net Income and Net
Loss.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net
Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the LLC shall be allocated among the Members
in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth
in Section 4.05, the Capital Accounts of all Members, immediately after
making such allocation, are, as nearly as possible, equal to the Distributions
that would be made to such Member if the LLC were dissolved, its affairs wound
up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all LLC liabilities
were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Book
Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the LLC were
distributed in accordance with Section 4.01(a) to the Members immediately after
making such allocation.  If the application of the foregoing
allocation provision results in unintended consequences as determined by the
Manager, then the Manager shall have the authority to direct the LLC’s
accountants or other Persons responsible for maintaining the Members’ Capital
Accounts to make such curative or remedial allocations as may be deemed
appropriate by the Manager, provided that the general effect of such allocations
is consistent with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.  In determining Net Income and Net Loss, the Bridge
Preferred Return shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” described in Section
707(c) of the Code.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          21

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (b)  Tax
Allocations.  For federal, state and local income tax purposes,
items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the
Members in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for
Capital Account purposes under Sections 4.01(a) and 4.05, except that tax items
attributable to each asset with respect to which there is a difference between
tax basis and Book Value will be allocated in accordance with
Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.  Such allocations shall be made using any reasonable
method specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3 as the Tax Matters
Member determines reasonably and in good faith; provided
that with respect to the assets contributed by Cargill the Tax Matters Member
shall use either (i) the traditional method with curative allocations or
(ii) the remedial method.

     

    SECTION
4.05.  Special
Allocations.  (a)  Minimum Gain
Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
Section 4.04, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain or Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Taxable Year, the
Members shall be specially allocated items of Net Income for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of
such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5).  The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-2(f), 1.704-2(i)(4), 1.704-2(j)(2).  This
Section 4.05(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirements in such Treasury Regulation Sections and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the
extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

     

    (b)  Qualified
Income Offset.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives
any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Net Income shall be
specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments,
allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided
that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) shall be made if and
only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 4.01 and this
Section 4.05 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.05(b)
were not in the Agreement.  This Section 4.05(b) is intended to
comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement in such Treasury
Regulation Section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

     

    (c)  Nonrecourse
Liabilities.  For purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.752-3(a), any Member’s interests in LLC profits shall be in
proportion with the respective Unit Percentage.

     

    (d)  Nonrecourse
Deductions.  Any Member nonrecourse deductions (as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1) and (2)) for any Fiscal Period
shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with
respect to the liability to which such Member nonrecourse deductions are
attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(1).  Nonrecourse Deductions (as such term is
defined in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and 1.704-2(c)) of
the LLC shall be allocated to the Members in proportion with the respective Unit
Percentage.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          22

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (e)  Section 754
Adjustment.  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Company asset pursuant to Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the
Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining the
Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be
treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset)
or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be
specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in
which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such
regulation.

     

    (f)  Ordering
Rules.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, allocations for any Fiscal Year or other period of nonrecourse
deductions or of items required to be allocated pursuant to the minimum gain
chargeback requirements contained in Section 4.05 shall be made before any
other allocations hereunder.

     

    SECTION
4.06.  Tax
Withholding; Withholding Advances.  (a)  Tax
Withholding.  If requested by the Manager, each Member shall
deliver to the LLC:  (i) documentation in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Manager that the applicable Member is not subject to
withholding under the provisions of any federal, state, local, foreign or other
law; and/or (ii) any other form or instrument reasonably requested by the
Manager relating to any Member’s status under such law.  In the event
that a Member fails or is unable to deliver to the Manager the documentation
described in subclause (i) of this clause (a), the Manager will
withhold amounts from such Member in accordance with Section 4.06(b)
(relating to Withholding Advances).

     

    (b)  Withholding
Advances – General.  To the extent the LLC is required by law
to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member
(e.g.,
backup withholding) (“Withholding
Advances”), the Manager may withhold such amounts and make such tax
payments as so required; provided
that, unless such withholding or payment is required by law or regulation to be
made in a lesser amount of time, the Manager shall provide not less than ten
(10) Business Days’ notice to the applicable Member prior to making such
withholding or payment.

     

    (c)  Repayment
of Withholding Advances.  Any Withholding Advances made on
behalf of a Member that are not satisfied by withholding from cash distributable
to such Member, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the prime rate
announced by Citibank, N.A. as of the date of such Withholding Advances plus two
percent (2%) per annum, shall (i) be paid by the Member on whose behalf
such Withholding Advances were made on demand by the LLC or (ii) with the
consent of the Manager in its sole discretion be repaid by reducing the amount
of the current or next succeeding Distribution or Distributions which would
otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such Distributions are not
sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation
otherwise payable to such Member.  Whenever repayment of a Withholding
Advance by a Member is made as described in clause (ii) above, for all
other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received
all the applicable Distributions unreduced by the amount of such Withholding
Advance and interest thereon.

Advances – Reimbursement of Liabilities.  Each Member hereby
agrees to reimburse the LLC for any liability with respect to Withholding
Advances (including interest thereon) required or made on behalf of or with
respect to such Member (including penalties imposed with respect
thereto).

the Corporation shall be adjusted accordingly; (b) the LLC shall be deemed
to purchase from the Corporation a share of Common Stock for an amount of cash
equal to the amount of cash deemed contributed by the Corporation to the LLC in

made on a loan with respect to a stock purchase award) received by the
Corporation with respect to such share, if any, shall be concurrently
transferred and paid to the LLC (and such net proceeds so transferred shall not

canceled LLC Preferred Certificate which are not being transferred.

     

    (d)  Effective
immediately upon the Preferred Stock Conversion, all Preferred Units shall
automatically and without action by the holder or the LLC convert into Common
Units, on a one-for-one basis, and the holders of the Preferred Units so
converted will also receive one share of Class B Common Stock for each Common
Unit received upon conversion.  Upon such conversion, the LLC shall
cause to be issued to each holder of Preferred Units a new LLC Common
Certificate for that number of Common Units to be received upon such
conversion.  For purposes of clarity, any Common Units received upon
the conversion of Preferred Units shall be exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 8.03.

Units (provided,
however,
that no such approval shall be required in respect of any Preferred Units to be
authorized and issued in connection with the Cargill Stock Payment) or (ii)
authorize or issue any other series of preferred interests or preferred units
which are senior or on parity with respect to liquidation or dividend payments
to the Preferred Units (provided,
however,
that no such approval shall be required in respect of any Preferred Units issued
in connection with the Private Placement or the Bridge Preferred LLC Interest
outstanding immediately after the Effective Time).  In addition,
notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 11.03, this Agreement shall not be
amended in such a way as would adversely affect the holders of the Preferred
Units, in their capacity as such, without the approval of the holders of at
least a majority of the Preferred Units then outstanding and the Manager shall
not take any action under this Agreement in contravention of this
sentence.

Section 8.02 may transfer its Units pursuant to this Section 8.02 only
to the transferor Member or to a Person that is a Permitted Transferee of such
transferor Member (and in the case of a transfer by a Member who is an
individual, only without consideration), provided, however, that all
Permitted Transferees shall be subject to this Agreement and, if applicable, the
Escrow Agreement and the Tax Benefit Sharing Agreement, in the same manner as
the transferor.  Transfers pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall
not require the consent of the Manager.

     

    SECTION
8.03.  Permitted
Exchanges.  (a)   Notwithstanding
Section 8.01, each Member (other than the Corporation) shall be entitled to
exchange, at any time and from time to time, any or all of such Member’s Common
Units, on a one-for-one basis, for the same number of shares of Common Stock
(the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Common Unit is entitled to be
exchanged referred to herein as the “Exchange Rate”) by
delivering a written notice to the Manager (and to the Corporation, if the
Corporation is not the Manager) stating that such Member desires to exchange a
number of Common Units specified in such notice into an equal number of shares
of Common Stock, accompanied by instruments of transfer to the Corporation, duly
executed by such Member or such Member’s duly authorized attorney, and transfer
tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to this Article VIII, in
respect of the Common Units to be exchanged, in each case delivered during
normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Manager (and the
Corporation, if the Corporation is not the Manager).  The Manager
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such exchange within one
Business Day of receiving the requisite notice, instruments of transfer and
transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required, as set forth in the
preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of a
Common Unit shall be entitled to exchange such Common Unit for a share of Common
Stock if such exchange would be prohibited under applicable federal or state
securities laws or regulations.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          32

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (b)  Upon
the date any such Common Units are surrendered for exchange pursuant to this
Section 8.03, all rights of the holder of such Common Units as such holder shall
cease.

     

    (c)  The
Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (1) any
subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split,
reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Units that is not
accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common Stock; or
(2) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split,
reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Stock that is not
accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common
Units.  In the event of a reclassification or other similar
transaction as a result of which the shares of Common Stock are converted into
another security, then a Member shall be entitled to receive upon exchange the
amount of such security that such Member would have received if such exchange
had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification or
other similar transaction.

     

    SECTION
8.04.  Further
Restrictions.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this
Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit be made by any Member or
transferee if:

     

    (a) such
Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to
own such Unit;

     

    (b) such
Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of any class
of Unit pursuant to any applicable United States federal or state securities
laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or
other foreign securities laws or would constitute a nonexempt distribution
pursuant to applicable state securities laws;

     

    (c) such
Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to constitute assets
of any employee benefit plan pursuant to the regulations issued by the U.S.
Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV,
Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor
regulations;

     

    (d) such
Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to become “plan
assets” of any benefit plan investor within the meaning of regulations issued by
the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of
Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any
successor regulations, or to be regulated under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time; or

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          33

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (e) to
the extent requested by the Manager (except in the case of a Transfer
contemplated by Section 4.01(e) or Section 8.02), the LLC does not receive
such legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including copies of any
instruments of Transfer and such transferee’s consent to be bound by this
Agreement as a transferee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Manager, as
determined in the Manager’s sole discretion.

     

    SECTION
8.05.  Transferee’s
Rights.  (a)  A transfer of Units permitted hereunder
shall be effective as of the date of assignment and compliance with the
conditions to such transfer and such transfer shall be shown on the books and
records of the LLC.  Net Income, Net Losses and other LLC items shall
be allocated between the transferor and the transferee according to
Section 706 of the Code.  Distributions made before the effective
date of such transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made
after such date shall be paid to the transferee.

     

    (b)  Unless
and until a transferee becomes a Substituted Member pursuant to
Section 8.07, the transferee shall not be entitled to any of the rights
granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable law, other than the rights
granted specifically to transferees pursuant to this Agreement and to have the
other rights granted to transferees pursuant to the Delaware Act.

     

    SECTION
8.06.  Transferor’s Rights and
Obligations.  Any Member who shall transfer any Units or other
interest in the LLC shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units or
other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Member
with respect to such Units or other interest except that unless and until the
transferee is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with the provisions
of Section 8.07 (the “Admission Date”),
(i) such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and
obligations of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest and
(ii) the Manager may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion
of the rights and privileges of such Member with respect to such Units or other
interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date.

     

    SECTION
8.07.  Substituted
Members.  In connection with the transfer of a Unit of a Member
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, and the other agreements
contemplated hereby and thereby, the transferee shall become a Substituted
Member on the later of (i) the effective date of such transfer and
(ii) the date on which the Manager approves such transferee as a
Substituted Member, and such admission shall be shown on the books and records
of the LLC and the Substituted Member signs a letter of acceptance, in form
satisfactory to the Manager, of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including, if applicable, the Escrow Agreement and the Tax Benefit Sharing
Agreement, and signs such other documents and instruments as may be necessary or
appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Substituted
Member.

    SECTION
8.08.  Additional
Members.  A Person may be admitted to the LLC as an additional
Member only in connection with a transfer of Units permitted under this
Article VIII and only upon such Person furnishing to the LLC (a) a
letter of acceptance, in form satisfactory to the Manager, of all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and (b) such other documents or instruments
as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a
Member.  A Person may be admitted to the LLC as an additional Member
through the issuance of new Units or other securities of the LLC with the prior
written consent of the Manager and only upon such Person furnishing to the LLC
(a) a letter of acceptance, in form satisfactory to the Manager, of all the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, if applicable, the Tax
Benefit Sharing Agreement, and (b) such other documents or instruments as
may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a
Member.  Any admission of an additional Member pursuant to this
Agreement shall become effective on the date on which the Manager determines in
its sole discretion that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such
admission is shown on the books and records of the LLC.

     

    SECTION
8.09.  Attempted Transfer
Void.  Any attempted Transfer which violates the provisions of
this Agreement shall be void and the purported buyer, transferee, pledgee,
mortgagee or other recipient shall have no interest in or rights to LLC assets,
profits, losses or distributions, and neither the Members nor the LLC shall be
required to recognize any such interest or rights.

     

    SECTION
8.10.  Withdrawal.  No
Member may, or may be required to, withdraw from the LLC, except upon a Transfer
of such Member’s Units in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or
upon a permitted repurchase or redemption of such Member’s Units pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement to which the LLC and such
Member are parties.

     

    SECTION
8.11.  Required Amendments;
Continuation.  If and to the extent any transferee is admitted
as a Member pursuant to Section 8.07, this Agreement shall be amended to
admit such transferee as a Member and to reflect the elimination of the
transferor (or the reduction of such Member’s interest) and (if and to the
extent then required by the Delaware Act) a certificate of amendment to the
Certificate reflecting such admission and elimination (or reduction) shall be
filed in accordance with the Act.

     

    SECTION
8.12.  Resignation.  No
Member shall have the right to resign or withdraw as a Member without the prior
written consent of the Manager, which may be given or withheld in its sole
discretion except to the extent that such resignation or withdrawal is
effectuated in connection with a transfer, permitted under this
Article VIII, by such Member of all Units held by it.  Any Member
that resigns without any required consent of the Manager in contravention of
this Section 8.12 shall be liable to the LLC for all damages (including all
lost profits and special, indirect and consequential damages) directly or
indirectly caused by the resignation of such Member, and such Member shall be
entitled to receive the fair value of his, her or its interest in the LLC as of
the date of his, her or its resignation (or, if less, the fair value of his, her
or its interest as of the date of the occurrence of a liquidation or other
winding-up of the LLC), as conclusively determined by the Manager, only promptly
following the occurrence of a liquidation or other winding-up of the
LLC.

    Dissolution and
Liquidation

     

    SECTION
9.01.  Dissolution.  The
LLC shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Members or Substituted
Members.  The LLC shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up,
upon the first to occur of the following:

     

    (a) the
entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the LLC under Section 35-5 of
the Delaware Act or an administrative dissolution under Section 18-802 of
the Delaware Act;

     

    (b) any
other event not inconsistent with any provision hereof causing a dissolution of
the LLC under the Delaware Act; or

     

    (c) the
Incapacity or removal of the Manager or the occurrence of a Disabling Event with
respect to the Manager; provided that the LLC
will not be dissolved or required to be wound up in connection with any of the
events specified in this Section 9.01 if:  (i) at the time
of the occurrence of such event there is at least one other Member who is hereby
authorized to, and elects to, carry on the business of the LLC; or (ii) all
remaining Members consent to or ratify the continuation of the business of the
LLC and the appointment of another managing member of the LLC within 90 days
following the occurrence of any such Incapacity or removal, which consent shall
be deemed (and if requested each Member shall provide a written consent for
ratification) to have been given for all Members if the holders of more than
two-thirds of the Units then outstanding agree in writing to so continue the
business of the LLC.

     

    Except as
otherwise set forth in this Article IX, the LLC is intended to have
perpetual existence.  A withdrawal by a Member shall not cause a
dissolution of the LLC, and the LLC shall continue in existence subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     

    SECTION
9.02.  Liquidation and
Termination.  On the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
the LLC (“Liquidation”), the
Manager, or any other Person or Persons designated by the Manager, shall act as
liquidator (the “Liquidator”).  The
Liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the LLC and make
final distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act.  The
costs of Liquidation shall be expenses of the LLC.  Until final
distribution, the Liquidator shall continue to operate the LLC properties with
all of the power and authority of the Manager.  The steps to be
accomplished by the Liquidator are as follows:

     

    (a) The
Liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from LLC funds all of the debts,
liabilities and obligations of the LLC (including all expenses incurred in
Liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge
thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities
in such amount and for such term as the Liquidator may reasonably
determine).

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          36

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (b) In
the event that the LLC holds assets other than cash at the time of the
Liquidation, then as promptly as practicable after dissolution, the Liquidator
shall (i) determine the Fair Market Value (the “Liquidation FMV”) of
such assets (the “Liquidation Assets”)
in accordance with this Article IX, and (ii) deliver to each Member a
statement setting forth the Liquidation FMV.

     

    (c) The
“Fair Market
Value” of any Liquidation Assets shall be conclusively determined by the
Liquidator, and shall be determined with the consultation of an independent
appraiser and with good faith and fair dealing.

     

    (d) As
soon as the Liquidation FMV has been determined in accordance with Sections
9.02(b) and (c) above, the Liquidator shall promptly distribute the LLC’s
Liquidation Assets to the holder of the Bridge Preferred LLC Interest, before
any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the Preferred Units or the
Common Units, in an amount equal to the Bridge Preferred Interest Liquidation
Preference, if any.  If there are remaining Liquidation Assets after
the payment in full of the Bridge Preferred Interest Liquidation Preference,
such remaining Liquidation Assets shall be distributed to the holders of the
Preferred Units, pro rata based on their Preferred Unit Percentages, before any
payment or distribution is made to holders of the Common Units, in an amount per
Preferred Unit equal to the Preferred Unit Liquidation
Preference.  If, after the payment in full of the Bridge Preferred
Interest Liquidation Preference, the Liquidation Assets are not sufficient to
pay the aggregate Preferred Unit Liquidation Preferences payable on all
Preferred Units in full, the holders of the Preferred Units will share, pro rata
based on their Preferred Unit Percentages, in the distribution of the
Liquidation Assets.  If there are remaining Liquidation Assets after
the payment in full of the Bridge Preferred Interest Liquidation Preference and
the aggregate Preferred Unit Liquidation Preferences, such remaining Liquidation
Assets shall be distributed by the Liquidator, on a pro rata basis based on
their Common Unit Percentages, to the holders of the Common
Units.  Any non-cash Liquidation Assets will first be written up or
down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Net Income or Net Loss (if any),
which shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.04.  In making
such distributions, the Liquidator shall allocate each type of Liquidation
Assets (i.e.,
cash or cash equivalents, stock or securities, etc.) among the Members ratably
based upon the aggregate amounts to be distributed with respect to the Units
held by each such holder.

     

    The
distribution of cash and/or property to a Member in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member
of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its
interest in the LLC and all the LLC’s property and constitutes a compromise to
which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Delaware
Act.  To the extent that a Member returns funds to the LLC, it has no
claim against any other Member for those funds.

    SECTION
9.03.  Certificate of
Cancellation.  On completion of the distribution of LLC assets
as provided herein, the LLC is terminated (and the LLC shall not be terminated
prior to such time), and the Manager (or such other Person or Persons as the
Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation
with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant
to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as
may be necessary to terminate the LLC.  The LLC shall be deemed to
continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated
pursuant to this Section 9.03.

     

    SECTION
9.04.  Reasonable Time for Winding
Up.  A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding
up of the business and affairs of the LLC and the liquidation of its assets
pursuant to Section 9.02 in order to minimize any losses otherwise
attendant upon such winding up.

     

    SECTION
9.05.  Return of
Capital.  The Liquidator shall not be personally liable for the
return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Members (it being
understood that any such return shall be made solely from LLC
assets).

    Rights and Obligations of
Members

     

    SECTION
10.01.  Limitation of
Liability.  Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the
debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, whether arising in contract, tort
or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC,
and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or
liability of the LLC solely by reason of being a Member or acting as a Member of
the LLC; provided that a
Member shall be required to return to the LLC any Distribution made to it in
clear and manifest accounting or similar error.  The immediately
preceding sentence shall constitute a compromise to which all Members have
consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act.  Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the LLC to observe any
formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management
of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not
be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the
LLC.  Each Member’s and the Manager’s liability shall be limited as
set forth in this Agreement, the Delaware Act and other applicable
law.  The Manager shall have no liability for taking or failing to
take any action required to be taken by it under this Agreement to the extent
the Manager or the Members have agreed that such action shall be taken or not be
taken, as the case may be.  To the fullest extent permitted under the
Delaware Act, no Member, the Manager or any officer of the LLC (each, a “Covered Person”)
shall be liable to the LLC or to any of the Members for any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arising (i) by reason of being or having been a
Covered Person or (ii) from any act or omission performed or omitted by the
Covered Person in connection with this Agreement or the LLC’s business or
affairs (including any error in judgment in making any investment decisions),
including losses due to the negligence of other agents of the LLC, except for
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities primarily attributable to such
Covered Person’s willful misconduct, recklessness, or gross negligence, as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as otherwise
required by law.

    SECTION
10.02.  Exculpation. (a)  No
Covered Person shall be liable, including under any legal or equitable theory of
fiduciary duty or other theory of liability, to the LLC or to any other Covered
Person for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by reason of any
act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the LLC
unless such act or omission was performed or omitted by such Covered Person in
bad faith.  Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted
or required to make decisions in good faith, the Covered Person shall act under
such standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard
(including any legal or equitable standard of fiduciary or other duty) imposed
by this Agreement or any relevant provisions of law or in equity or
otherwise.

     

    (b)  A
Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the
records of the LLC and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements
presented to the LLC by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably
believes are within such Person’s professional or expert
competence.

     

    SECTION
10.03.  Lack
of Authority.  No Member in its capacity as such has the
authority or power to act for or on behalf of the LLC in any manner, to do any
act that would be (or could be construed as) binding on the LLC or to make any
expenditures on behalf of the LLC, and the Members hereby consent to the
exercise by the Manager of the powers conferred on it by law and this
Agreement.

     

    SECTION
10.04.  No
Right of Partition.  No Member shall have the right to seek or
obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any LLC property, or the
right to own or use particular or individual assets of the LLC.

     

    SECTION
10.05.  Indemnification.  (a)  The
LLC hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Covered Person (each an
“Indemnified
Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Act, as the
same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in
the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent
that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the LLC to provide
broader indemnification rights than the LLC is providing immediately prior to
such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including
attorney fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) (collectively “Losses”) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates)
by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member, Manager or
Officer.  The LLC may, as determined by the Manager, also indemnify
and hold harmless any Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted under
the Delaware Act who is or was serving as an employee or agent of the LLC or is
or was serving at the request of the LLC as a managing member, officer,
director, principal, member, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise
(including any of the LLC’s Subsidiaries).  Expenses, including
attorney fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder shall be paid by the LLC in advance of the
final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is
not entitled to be indemnified by the LLC.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no indemnification shall be provided by the LLC with respect to any
Losses that resulted from action or inaction of such Indemnified Person that, in
each case, constituted gross negligence, willful misconduct, a breach of the
Indemnified Party’s fiduciary duty to the LLC or an act that was not in good
faith, that involved a knowing violation of law or from which the Indemnified
Person derived an improper personal benefit.

    (b)  The
right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this
Section 10.05 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person
may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, by-law or
otherwise.

     

    (c)  The
LLC may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified Person
against any expense, liability or loss described in Section 10.05(a) above
whether or not the LLC would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person
against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this
Section 10.05.

     

    (d)  Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this
Section 10.05), any indemnity by the LLC relating to the matters covered in
this Section 10.05 shall be provided out of and to the extent of LLC assets
only and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found
in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal
liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof
or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy
such indemnity of the LLC.

     

    (e)  If
this Section 10.05 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground
by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the LLC shall nevertheless
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this
Section 10.05 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of
this Section 10.05 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law.

    General
Provisions

     

    SECTION
11.01.  Power of
Attorney.  (a)  Each Member hereby constitutes and
appoints the Manager and the Liquidator, with full power of substitution, as his
true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in his
or its name, place and stead, to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file
and record in the appropriate public offices:  (i) this
Agreement, all certificates and other instruments and all amendments thereof
which are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and which the Manager
deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification
of, the LLC as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware and in all
other jurisdictions in which the LLC may conduct business or own property,
(ii) all instruments which the Manager deems appropriate or necessary to
reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement
which is in accordance with its terms, (iii) all conveyances and other
instruments or documents which the Liquidator deems appropriate or necessary to
reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the LLC pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, including a certificate of cancellation and (iv) all instruments
relating to the admission, withdrawal or substitution of any Member pursuant to

    (b)  The
foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and
shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy,
insolvency or termination of any Member and the transfer of all or any portion
of his or its Units and shall extend to such Member’s heirs, successors, assigns
and personal representatives.

     

    SECTION
11.02.  Further
Action.  The parties shall execute and deliver all documents,
instruments, and certificates, provide all information, and take or refrain from
taking all such further actions as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve
the purposes of this Agreement and effect the provisions hereof, as determined
by the Manager.

     

    SECTION
11.03.  Amendments.  This
Agreement may not be amended except in writing and with the consent of the
Manager, which may be withheld in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any
amendment or modification that adversely affects the rights of one or more
Members under this Agreement, in their capacity as such, in a manner that is
materially different from the manner in which such amendment or modification
affects the rights of other Members under this Agreement, in their capacity as
such, shall require the consent of each such adversely affected Member;
provided, further, however, that any
amendment to Sections 4.01(b), (c), (d) or (e), 5.02, 8.03 and this 11.03, and
any defined terms that are used in those sections, shall require the consent of
each of Greenlight, Third Point and each Management Member.

     

    SECTION
11.04.  Title to LLC
Assets.  LLC assets shall be deemed to be owned by the LLC as
an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership
interest in such LLC assets or any portion thereof.  Legal title to
any or all LLC assets may be held in the name of the LLC, the Manager or one or
more nominees, as the Manager may determine.  The Manager hereby
declares and warrants that any LLC assets for which legal title is held in its
name or the name of any nominee shall be held in trust by the Manager or such
nominee for the use and benefit of the LLC in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement.  All LLC assets shall be recorded as the property of
the LLC on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title
to any such LLC asset is held.

     

    SECTION
11.05.  Remedies.  Each
Member shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all
rights and remedies which such Person has been granted at any time under any
other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Person has under
any law.  Any Person having any rights under any provision of this
Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereby shall be entitled to
enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to
recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and
to exercise all other rights granted by law.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          41

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    SECTION
11.06.  Successors and
Assigns.  All covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives
and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     

    SECTION
11.07.  Severability.  Whenever
possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under
any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or
validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

     

    SECTION
11.08.  Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more separate counterparts,
any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but
each of which will be an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same agreement binding on all the parties hereto.

     

    SECTION
11.09.  Applicable
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of
Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

     

    SECTION
11.10.  Addresses and
Notices.  All notices, demands or other communications to be
given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when
(a) delivered personally to the recipient, (b) telecopied to the
recipient (with hard copy sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier
service (charges prepaid) that same day) if telecopied before 5:00 p.m. New
York time on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next Business Day, or
(c) one (1) Business Day after being sent to the recipient by
reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid).  Such notices,
demands and other communications shall be sent to the address for such recipient
set forth on the signature pages or Schedules hereto, and/or to such other
address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has
specified by prior written notice to the sending party.  Any notice to
the Manager or the LLC shall be deemed given if received by the Manager at the
principal office of the LLC, designated pursuant to
Section 2.05.

     

    SECTION
11.11.  Creditors; Third Party
Beneficiaries.  None of the provisions of this Agreement shall
be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the LLC or any of its
Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the LLC or any of its Affiliates
may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement
executed by the LLC in favor of such creditor) at any time as a result of making
the loan any direct or indirect interest in Net Income, Net Losses,
Distributions, capital or property other than as a secured
creditor.  Except to the extent contemplated by Section 10.05,
there are no third party beneficiaries having rights under or with respect to
this Agreement.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          42

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

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

     

    SECTION
11.13.  Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, those documents expressly referred
to herein and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete
agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any
prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties,
written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any
way.

     

    SECTION
11.14.  Delivery by
Facsimile.  This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein,
and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or
therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or
thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine,
shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or
instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if
it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.  At
the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each
other party hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver
them to all other parties.  No party hereto or to any such agreement
or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature
or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or
communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the
formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any
such defense.

     

    SECTION
11.15.  Waiver of Certain
Rights.  Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have
to demand any Distributions or withdrawal of property from the LLC or to
maintain any action for dissolution (except pursuant to Section 18-802 of
the Delaware Act) of the LLC or for partition of the property of the
LLC.

     

    SECTION
11.16.  Survival.  Section 10.01
(Limitation of Liability) and Section 10.05 (Indemnification) shall survive
and continue in full force in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the LLC.
