A copy of the Members Schedule as of the execution of this Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule A. Absent manifest error, the ownership interests recorded on the Members Schedule shall be conclusive record of the Units that have been issued and are outstanding. Any reference in this Agreement to the Members Schedule shall be deemed a reference to the Members Schedule as amended and in effect from time to time. The Company may issue fractional Units.
Section 3.02Authorization and Issuance of Preferred Units. The Company is hereby authorized to issue up to [10,449,863] Units designated as Preferred Units. As of the date hereof, [10,449,863] Preferred Units are issued and outstanding to the Preferred Members in the amounts set forth on the Members Schedule opposite each such Preferred Member’s name.

20


Section 3.03Authorization and Issuance of Common Units. The Company is hereby authorized to issue up to [66,182,466] Units designated as Common Units. As of the date hereof, [27,866,301] Common Units are issued and outstanding to the Common Members in the amounts set forth on the Members Schedule opposite each such Common Member’s name. The Company will reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a number of Common Units equal to 37.5000% of the Common Units Deemed Outstanding (as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.06(a)(ii)), such Common Units to be reserved solely for the conversion of Preferred Units to Common Units pursuant to Section 3.06.
Section 3.04Other Issuances. In addition to the Preferred Units and Common Units authorized on the date hereof pursuant to Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, the Company is hereby authorized, subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 4.06, Section 9.01, and Section 10.01(b), as applicable, to create, authorize and issue or sell to any Person, for consideration and on other terms and conditions determined by the Board, any of the following (collectively, “New Interests”): (a) any new type, class, or series of Units not otherwise authorized in this Agreement, including Units designated as classes or series of the Preferred Units or Common Units with different rights, privileges, or preferences; and (b) Unit Equivalents; and the Board is hereby authorized to amend this Agreement to reflect any such creation or issuance and to fix the relative privileges, preferences, duties, liabilities, obligations, and rights of any such New Interests, including economic and governance rights (which may be different from, pari passu with, senior to or more favorable than the other existing Units), including the number of such New Interests to be issued, the preference (with respect to Distributions, in liquidation, or otherwise) over any other Units, and any contributions required in connection therewith, in each case, without the approval or consent of any other Person except to the extent required pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 3.05No Unit Certificates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not (a) certificate any Member’s ownership interest in the Company (and any such certificate purporting to evidence such Member’s ownership interest in the Company shall be null and void ab initio) or (b) opt into (or otherwise elect that any Member’s interest in the Company become a security governed by) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware.
Section 3.06Conversion of Preferred Units. Preferred Units shall be converted into Common Units in accordance with the following:
(a)A Preferred Member may convert its Preferred Units into Common Units at any time and from time to time as follows:
(i)Upon the written election of a Preferred Member and without payment of any additional consideration, the number of specified Preferred Units shall be converted into the number of Common Units equal to (A) the specified number of Preferred Units divided by the total number of Preferred Units then outstanding, times (B) 37.5000% of the Common Units Deemed Outstanding.
(ii)To the extent some, but not all, of a Preferred Member’s Preferred Units have been converted, the percentage included in Section

21


3.06(a)(i) shall be proportionally reduced. The same adjustment shall apply for purposes of calculating other as-converted entitlements of the Preferred Units, including voting rights and Distributions, and the Aggregate Purchase Price (for purposes of determining the Liquidation Preference of the remaining unconverted Preferred Units). By way of illustrative example, if 5,249,931.5 Preferred Units are converted, out of 10,449,863 total Preferred Units issued and outstanding (i.e., one-half), the percentage in Section 3.06(a)(i)(B) shall be reduced to 18.7500% (i.e, by one-half).
(b)Procedure for Conversion.
(i)In order for a Preferred Member to convert Preferred Units into Common Units, such Preferred Member shall provide written notice to the Board stating that such Preferred Member elects to convert all or any number of such Preferred Member’s Preferred Units and, if applicable, any event or date on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such Preferred Member’s name and the names of the nominees in which such Preferred Member wishes the Common Units to be issued.
(ii)The close of business on the date of receipt by the Board, or such other date or time indicated on the notice of conversion, shall be the effective time of conversion, the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the specified Preferred Units shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date, and the Preferred Units converted into such Common Units shall be deemed to be canceled as of such date.
Section 3.07Redemption of Preferred Units.
(a)Optional Redemption; Redemption Date. At any time during the Preferred Units Redemption Period, the Preferred Requisite Members may elect to have all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Preferred Units redeemed (a “Redemption Request”). In such event, the Company shall redeem, except to the extent any of the Redemption Exceptions applies, all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Units at the Redemption Price. Any election pursuant to this Section 3.07(a) shall be made by written notice from the Preferred Requisite Members to the Company (a “Redemption Notice”). The Preferred Units shall be deemed redeemed only upon receipt of the pro rata portion of the Redemption Price payable to each Preferred Member for such Preferred Member’s percentage of the Preferred Units.
(b)Redemption Price. The aggregate price for Preferred Units redeemed pursuant to a Redemption Notice shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price, plus declared but unpaid Distributions, or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Preferred Units on an as-converted to Common Units basis at the time of such redemption (the “Redemption Price”). The aggregate Redemption Price shall be payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Preferred Members on the Redemption Date, on a pro rata basis.

22


(c)Insufficient Funds. If on a Redemption Date, a Redemption Exception prevents the Company from redeeming all Preferred Units, the Company shall redeem the maximum possible number of Preferred Units from the Preferred Members without triggering any Redemption Exceptions. At any time thereafter when the Redemption Exceptions do not prevent the Company from redeeming Preferred Units that remain issued and outstanding, the Company shall immediately use its funds to redeem the balance of the Preferred Units that the Company became obligated to redeem on the Redemption Date (but which it has not yet redeemed) at the then applicable Redemption Price. Any unredeemed Preferred Units shall remain outstanding and entitled to all of their rights and preferences.
(d)Capital Raise. The Company may, following the receipt of a Redemption Notice, raise new capital, including by incurring indebtedness or issuing equity, to fund the Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Preferred Member shall have any consent rights pursuant to Section 4.06 or preemptive rights pursuant to Section 9.01 following the Redemption Request, solely with respect to any capital raised by the Company to fund the Redemption Price; provided that all of the Preferred Units are redeemed contemporaneously with, and as a condition to, the consummation of such capital raise and (ii) no Preferred Member shall have the consent right set forth in Section 4.06(a)(viii) in respect of the refinancing of any indebtedness to the Preferred Members or their Affiliates in connection with the maturity or acceleration thereof, solely with respect to the repayment of such indebtedness; provided that all such indebtedness is repaid contemporaneously with, and as a condition to, the consummation of such refinancing.
(e)Regulatory Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time and in the Preferred Requisite Members’ sole discretion, the Preferred Requisite Members may elect for the Company to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Members’ outstanding Preferred Units, Common Units and any other class of Units, in each case for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 for each class of Units.
Section 3.08Breaches; Failure to Effect Redemption.
(a)In the event of a Breach that is not cured within thirty (30) days of the written notice of such Breach from the Preferred Requisite Members to the Board, then (i) the Preferred Units shall be entitled to mandatory preferential Distributions at a per annum rate equal to 10.0000% of the Redemption Price determined on the date of such Breach, increasing by 1.0000% at the end of each three-month period thereafter (provided that in no event shall such rate exceed 16.0000%), commencing on such thirtieth (30th) day and continuing until the Breach is cured (provided that the payments of Distributions shall be in cash and subject to the Redemption Exceptions), and (ii) if such Breach is not cured within twelve (12) months of a written notice of such Breach from the Preferred Requisite Members to the Board, the Preferred Requisite Members may initiate and effect a financing transaction (which may include a sale of the Company) to redeem the Preferred Units; provided that such redemption may be consummated only on or after the second (2nd) anniversary of this Agreement and that any such financing transaction (or sale of the Company) is on terms reasonably acceptable to the Board.

23


(b)In the event that the Company does not timely satisfy in full, in cash, a Redemption Request and such failure continues beyond the Redemption Deadline (a “Redemption Breach”), then (i) the Preferred Units shall be entitled to mandatory preferential Distributions at a per annum rate equal to 10.0000% of the Redemption Price determined on the date of such Redemption Breach, increasing by 1.0000% at the end of each three-month period thereafter (provided that in no event shall such rate exceed 16.0000%), commencing on the Redemption Deadline and continuing until the Redemption Price is paid (provided that the payments of Distributions shall be in cash and subject to the Redemption Exceptions), and (ii) if such Redemption Breach is not cured within twelve (12) months of the Redemption Deadline, the Preferred Requisite Members may initiate and effect a financing transaction (which may include a sale of the Company) to redeem the Preferred Units; provided that such redemption may be consummated only on or after the second (2nd) anniversary of this Agreement and that any such financing transaction (or sale of the Company) is on terms reasonably acceptable to the Board.
(c)Without prejudice to the remedies to which the Preferred Members are entitled pursuant to Section 3.08(b), if the Company is unable to satisfy a Redemption Request in full, in cash, by the Redemption Deadline due to a Redemption Exception, then the Company shall pursue in good faith a financing transaction for the purpose of raising sufficient funds to effectuate such redemption in compliance with the Redemption Exceptions. For the avoidance of doubt, unless there is a change in Applicable Law, if any financing transaction (or sale of the Company) constitutes a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Reorganized PublicCo, such financing transaction (or sale of the Company) shall be subject to approval by Reorganized PublicCo’s Board and stockholders.

Section 5.02Additional Capital Contributions. 
(a)No Member shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company. Any future Capital Contributions made by any Member shall only be made with the approval of the Board, subject to the applicable provisions of Section 4.06, and in connection with an issuance of Units made in compliance with this Agreement.
(b)No Member shall be required to lend any funds to the Company and no Member shall have any personal liability for the payment or repayment of any Capital Contribution by or to any other Member.
Section 5.03Maintenance of Capital Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain for each Member a separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) on its books and records in accordance with this Section 5.03. Each Capital Account shall be established and maintained in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by the amount of:
(i)such Member’s Capital Contributions, including such Member’s initial Capital Contribution;
(ii) any Net Income or other item of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to ARTICLE VI; and
(iii)any liabilities of the Company that are assumed by such Member or secured by any property Distributed to such Member.
(b)Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by:
(i)the cash amount or Book Value of any property Distributed to such Member pursuant to ARTICLE VII or Section 12.03(c);
(ii)the amount of any Net Loss or other item of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to ARTICLE VI; and
(iii)the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.
Section 5.04Succession Upon Transfer. In the event that any Units are Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred Units and, subject to Section 6.04, shall receive allocations and Distributions pursuant to ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII, and ARTICLE XII in respect of such Units. Any reference in this Agreement to a Distribution to a Person shall include any Distributions made to a former or Transferor Member in respect of Units Transferred to such Person.

32


Section 5.05Negative Capital Accounts. In the event that any Member shall have a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account, such Member shall have no obligation, during the term of the Company or upon dissolution or liquidation thereof, to restore such negative balance or make any Capital Contributions to the Company by reason thereof, except as may be required by Applicable Law or in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.
Section 5.06No Withdrawal. No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Member’s Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as provided in this Agreement. No Member shall receive any interest, salary, or drawing with respect to such Member’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Capital Accounts are maintained for the sole purpose of allocating items of income, gain, loss, and deduction among the Members and shall have no effect on the amount of any Distributions to any Members, pursuant to ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE XII or otherwise.
Section 5.07Treatment of Loans from Members. Loans by any Member to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions and shall not affect the maintenance of such Member’s Capital Account, other than to the extent provided in Section 5.03(a)(iii), if applicable.
Section 5.08Modifications. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board determines 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 order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Board may authorize such modifications.
ARTICLE VI
Allocations
Section 6.01Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. For each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, or deduction) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.02, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocations, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (a) the Distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 12.03(c) if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up, and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all Company 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 Company were Distributed, in accordance with Section 12.03(c), to the Members immediately after making such allocations, minus (b) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.
Section 6.02Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.01:

33


(a)If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(a) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(b) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), 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 quickly as possible. This Section 6.02(c) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d)If the amount of Net Losses for any taxable period that would otherwise be allocated to a Member under Section 6.01 would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as of the last day of such taxable period, then a proportionate part of such Net Losses, equal to such excess shall be allocated to the other Members, and the remainder of such Net Losses, if any, shall be allocated to such Member. In the event that some but not all of the Members would have or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a result of an allocation of Net Losses under Section 6.01, except as otherwise required by the Code and Treasury Regulations, the limitation set forth in this Section 6.02(d) shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and Net Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such other Members’ respective Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and thereafter Net Losses shall be allocated in proportion to Percentage Interests.
(e)The allocations set forth in Section 6.02(a), Section 6.02(b), Section 6.02(c) and Section 6.02(d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with

34


certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this ARTICLE VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Income and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
Section 6.03Tax Allocations.
(a)Subject to Section 6.03(b) through Section 6.03(d), all income, gains, losses, and deductions of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state, and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, and deductions among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other Applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, and deductions shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other Applicable Law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.
(b)Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the traditional method of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.
(c)If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).
(d)Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(e)Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.03 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, Distributions, or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.04Allocations in Respect of Transferred Units. In the event of a Transfer of Units during any Fiscal Year made in compliance with the provisions of ARTICLE X, Net Income, Net Losses, and other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction of the Company attributable to such Units for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using the interim closing of the books method.

35


Section 6.05Curative Allocations. In the event that the Board determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction is not specified in this ARTICLE VI (an “Unallocated Item”), or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members’ economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “Misallocated Item”), then the Board may allocate such Unallocated Items, or reallocate such Misallocated Items, to reflect such economic interests; provided, that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be adversely affected thereby; and provided, further, that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts Distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be Distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.
ARTICLE VII
Distributions
Section 7.01General. 
(a)Subject to Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), Section 4.06, Section 7.01(b), Section 7.02, Section 7.03, Section 7.04, and except as otherwise expressly provided in ARTICLE XII, the Board shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of Distributions to Members, including to decide to forgo payment of Distributions in order to provide for the retention and establishment of reserves of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs of the Company (which needs may include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of the Company’s obligations, including present and anticipated debts and obligations, capital needs and expenses, the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses, and reasonable reserves for contingencies).
(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any Distribution if such Distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other Applicable Law.
Section 7.02Distributions. After making all Distributions required for a given Fiscal Year under Section 7.03 (giving effect to Section 7.03(d)) and any Distributions required pursuant to Section 3.08(a) and Section 3.08(b), all Distributions determined to be made by the Board shall be made to the Members holding Preferred Units, on an as-converted basis, and Common Units, in each case pro rata based on each Member’s Percentage Interest; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Distributions are required to be made pursuant to Section 12.03, such Distributions shall be made solely in accordance with Section 12.03(c); provided, further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions to be made in connection with a Reorganized PublicCo Approved Sale shall be made solely in accordance with Section 10.04.
Section 7.03Tax Advances. 
(a)At least five (5) days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar-year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, the Company shall use

36


commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash to each Member in proportion to and to the extent of such Member’s Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter (each such Distribution, a “Tax Advance”).
(b)If, at any time after the final Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount has been Distributed pursuant to Section 7.03(a) with respect to any Fiscal Year, the aggregate Tax Advances to any Member with respect to such Fiscal Year are less than such Member’s Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (a “Shortfall Amount”), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute cash in proportion to and to the extent of each Member’s Shortfall Amount. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute Shortfall Amounts with respect to a Fiscal Year before the seventy-fifth (75th) day of the next succeeding Fiscal Year; provided, that if the Company has made Distributions other than pursuant to this Section 7.03, the Board may apply such Distributions to reduce any Shortfall Amount.
(c)If the aggregate Tax Advances made to any Member pursuant to this Section 7.03 for any Fiscal Year exceed such Member’s Tax Amount (an “Excess Amount”), such Excess Amount shall reduce subsequent Tax Advances that would be made to such Member pursuant to this Section 7.03, except to the extent taken into account as an advance pursuant to Section 7.03(d).
(d)Any Distributions made to a Member pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as advances on Distributions pursuant to Section 7.02 and shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount otherwise Distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 7.02.
Section 7.04Distributions in Kind.
(a)The Board is hereby authorized, in its sole discretion, to make Distributions to the Members in the form of securities or other property held by the Company; provided, that Tax Advances and any Distributions under Section 3.07, Section 3.08(a) and Section 3.08(b) shall be made only in cash. In any such non-cash Distribution, the securities or other property so Distributed will be Distributed among the Members in the same proportion and priority as cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such securities or other property would be Distributed among the Members pursuant to Section 7.02, and any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in accordance therewith.
(b)Any Distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Board determines are required or advisable to ensure compliance with Applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board may require that the Members execute and deliver such documents as the Board may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state securities laws that apply to such Distribution and any further transfer of the Distributed securities.
ARTICLE VIII
Management

37


Section 8.01Establishment and Authority of the Board. A board of managers of the Company (the “Board”) is hereby established and shall be comprised of natural Persons (each such Person, a “Manager”) who shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed, operated, and controlled by or under the direction of the Board, and the Board shall have, and is hereby granted, the full and complete power, authority, and discretion for, on behalf of, and in the name of the Company, to take such actions as it may in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable to carry out any and all of the objectives and purposes of the Company, to exercise any rights and powers granted to the Company under this Agreement, and to exercise all power and authority vested in managers under the Delaware Act, in each case subject only to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 4.06. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Manager, acting alone or with any other Managers, in such Manager’s capacity as such, shall have any authority to bind the Company with respect to any matter except pursuant to a resolution authorizing such action that is duly adopted by the Board by the affirmative vote required with respect to such matter pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 8.02Board Composition. The Company and the Members shall take such actions as may be required to ensure that the number of managers constituting the Board is at all times no less than one (1) manager and no greater than three (3) managers. The Board shall be comprised (and the Company and the Members shall take all such necessary actions, including voting all of such Member’s Units, so that the Board is comprised) of individuals designated by the Common Requisite Members from time to time, who shall initially be Robert Flexon and John Juric.
Section 8.03Board Observer Right.
(a)The Preferred Requisite Members shall have the right to appoint one individual as a non-voting observer to the Board (“Board Observer”). The Board Observer shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board and any committees of the Board and to receive all information provided to the members of the Board or its committees (including minutes of previous meetings of the Board or such committees); provided, that the Company reserves the right to exclude any such Board Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board reasonably determines, in good faith after consultation with outside counsel, that (i) such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, (ii) withholding such materials or so excluding the Board Observer is reasonably necessary due to a direct conflict of interest involving the Board Observer or (iii) the Board Observer is (or is affiliated with) a direct competitor of the Company and access to such materials or attendance at such meeting or portion thereof directly relates to the competitive activities, and, in any such case, the Company advises the Board Observer in writing of such determination; provided, further, that such exclusion shall be limited to the portion of the material or meeting that is the basis for such exclusion and shall not extend to any portion of the material or meeting that does not involve or pertain to such exclusion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board Observer shall not have voting rights or fiduciary obligations to the Company or its Members (and a Board Observer may be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement if requested by the Board).

38


(b)At all times, the composition of any board of directors, board of managers, or similar governing body of any Company Subsidiary shall be the same as that of the Board.
Section 8.04Removal; Resignation.
(a)The Common Requisite Members may remove any Manager at any time with or without cause, effective upon written notice to the other Members. Except as set forth in Section 8.04(c), no Manager may be removed except in accordance with this Section 8.04(a).
(b)In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board at any time due to the death, disability, retirement, resignation, or removal of a Manager, the Common Requisite Members shall have the exclusive right to designate an individual to fill such vacancy and the Company and each Member hereby agrees to take such actions as may be required to ensure the election or appointment of any such designee to fill such vacancy on the Board.
(c)A Manager may resign at any time from the Board by delivering such Manager’s written resignation to the Board. Any such resignation shall be effective upon receipt thereof unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the occurrence of some other event. The Board’s acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
(d)The Board shall maintain a schedule of all Managers with their respective mailing addresses (the “Managers Schedule”), and may update the Managers Schedule upon the appointment, removal, or replacement of any Manager in accordance with Section 8.02 or this Section 8.04, without the consent of any other Person.
Section 8.05Meetings of the Board. 
(a)The Board shall meet at such time and at such place as the Board may designate. Meetings of the Board may be held either in person or by means of telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, at the offices of the Company, or such other place (either within or outside the State of Delaware) as may be determined from time to time by the Board. Written notice of each regular meeting of the Board shall be given to each Manager at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to each such meeting.
(b)Special meetings of the Board shall be held on the call of any two (2) Managers upon at least five (5) days’ written notice (if the meeting is to be held in person) or one (1) day’s written notice (if the meeting is to be held by telephone communications or video conference) to the Managers, or upon such shorter notice as may be approved by all the Managers. Any Manager may waive such notice as to such Manager.
(c)Attendance of a Manager at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular

39


or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
Section 8.06Quorum; Manner of Acting. 
(a)A majority of the Managers serving on the Board present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board. At all times when the Board is conducting business at a meeting of the Board, a quorum of the Board must be present at such meeting. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, then the Managers present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
(b)Any Manager may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. A Manager may vote or be present at a meeting either in person or by proxy, and such proxy may be granted in writing, by means of Electronic Transmission, or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.
(c)Each Manager shall have one vote on all matters submitted to the Board or any committee thereof. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, with respect to any matter before the Board, the affirmative act of a majority of the Managers in attendance at any meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board.
Section 8.07Action By Written Consent. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05 and Section 8.06, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is signed unanimously by all the Managers. Any such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote at a meeting of the Board where a quorum was present and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State.
Section 8.08Officers. The Board may appoint individuals as officers of the Company (the “Officers”) as the Board deems necessary or desirable to carry on the business of the Company, and the Board may delegate to such Officers, and the Chief Executive Officer may delegate to such Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, such power and authority as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, deems advisable. Unless the Board or the Chief Executive Officer (for any titles other than Chief Executive Officer) otherwise decides, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a Delaware 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 of a Delaware corporation, subject to any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such Officer by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as applicable. No Officer need be a Member or Manager. Any individual may hold two or more offices of the Company. Each Officer shall hold office until such Officer’s successor is designated by the Board or until such Officer’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. Any Officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary

40


to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the written notice of resignation. Any Officer may be removed by the Board (acting by majority vote of all Managers other than the Officer being considered for removal, if a Manager) with or without cause at any time. A vacancy in any office occurring because of death, resignation, removal, or otherwise, may, but need not, be filled by the Board.
Section 8.09Compensation and Reimbursement of Managers; No Employment. 
(a)No Manager shall be compensated for such Manager’s service as a Manager. Each Manager shall be reimbursed for such Manager’s ordinary, necessary, and direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of such Manager’s duties as a Manager, pursuant to such policies as may from time to time be established by the Board. Nothing contained in this Section 8.09 shall be construed to preclude any Manager from serving the Company or its Affiliates in any other capacity and receiving reasonable compensation for such services.
(b)This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any Manager any rights with respect to employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates, and nothing herein shall be construed to have created any employment agreement with any Manager.
Section 8.10Other Activities of Managers; Business Opportunities. 
(a)Each Manager shall devote so much of such Manager’s time and attention to the business of the Company as such Manager deems appropriate in such Manager’s reasonable discretion. No Manager or Board Observer shall engage in any activity, venture, or business other than those of the Existing Business as a result of or using Confidential Information.
(b)If a Manager is offered or discovers a business opportunity of the type and character that is within the scope of the Existing Business (a “Business Opportunity”), such Manager shall, prior to pursuing such Business Opportunity and subject to Section 4.06(b), offer to the Company the right to pursue such Business Opportunity for the benefit of the Existing Business, regardless of whether such Manager believes any Restricted Entity would be able (financially or otherwise) or willing to pursue such Business Opportunity.
Section 8.11No Personal Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act, by Applicable Law, or expressly in this Agreement, no Manager or Officer will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation, or liability of any Restricted Entity, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Manager or Officer.
ARTICLE IX
Preemptive Rights
Section 9.01Preemptive Right. 
(a)Issuance of New Securities. The Company hereby grants each Preferred Member the right to purchase all or any portion of such Preferred Member’s Pro Rata

41


Portion, at such Preferred Member’s sole discretion, of 100.0000% of any New Securities that any Restricted Entity may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any party (an “Offeree”). For purposes hereof, “New Securities” shall include any and all new issuances of debt (including by way of incurring loans or issuing debt securities), Units (other than Units that are authorized for issuance on the date hereof) and any Unit Equivalents (other than Unit Equivalents that are authorized for issuance on the date hereof) other than Units or Unit Equivalents issued or sold by any Restricted Entity in connection with: (i) the conversion or exchange of any Unit Equivalents into Units, or the exercise of any warrants or other rights to acquire Units; (ii) any acquisition by any Restricted Entity of any business (whether by stock or asset purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) or entry into any joint venture or similar arrangement; (iii) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving a Restricted Entity and a Third-Party Purchaser; (iv) the commencement of any public offering or direct listing by a Restricted Entity; (v) any subdivision of Units (by a split of Units or otherwise) or payment of Distributions; (vi) a financing contemplated by Section 3.07(d); or (vii) any issuances of Common Units by the Company to Reorganized PublicCo.
(b)Additional Issuance Notices. The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in Section 9.01(a) to the Preferred Members within five (5) Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved and, if required, once approved under Section 4.06. The Issuance Notice shall, if applicable, be accompanied by a written offer from any prospective purchaser seeking to purchase New Securities (a “Prospective Purchaser”) and shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance or sale, including:
(i)the number and description of the New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s Units then outstanding on a fully diluted basis (both in the aggregate and with respect to each class or series of Units proposed to be issued) that such issuance would represent;
(ii)the proposed issuance date, which shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice;
(iii)the proposed purchase price per Unit of the New Securities; and
(iv)if the consideration to be paid by the Prospective Purchaser includes non-cash consideration, the Board’s good-faith determination of the Fair Market Value thereof.

The Issuance Notice shall also be accompanied by a current copy of the Members Schedule indicating the Members’ holdings of Units in a manner that enables each Member to calculate such Member’s Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities.

(c)Exercise of Preemptive Rights. Each Preferred Member shall for a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Exercise

42


Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase all or any portion of such Preferred Member’s Pro Rata Portion of 100.0000% of any New Securities, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company (an “Acceptance Notice”) specifying the number of New Securities such Preferred Member desires to purchase. The delivery of an Acceptance Notice by a Preferred Member shall be a binding and irrevocable offer by such Preferred Member to purchase the New Securities described therein. The failure of a Preferred Member to deliver an Acceptance Notice by the end of the Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of such Preferred Member’s rights under this Section 9.01 with respect to the purchase of such New Securities, but shall not affect such Preferred Member’s rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of New Securities.
(d)Over-Allotment. No later than five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Preferred Member in writing of the number of New Securities that each Preferred Member has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the “Over-Allotment Notice”). Each Preferred Member exercising its rights to purchase such Preferred Member’s Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities in full (an “Exercising Member”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Preferred Member has failed to exercise its right under this Section 9.01 to purchase such other Member’s full Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Member”), such Exercising Member may purchase such Exercising Member’s Pro Rata Portion of such Non-Exercising Member’s allotment by giving written notice to the Company within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Over-Allotment Notice (the “Over-Allotment Exercise Period”).
(e)Sales to the Prospective Purchaser. Following the expiration of the Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Over-Allotment Exercise Period, the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to which Members declined to exercise the preemptive right set forth in this Section 9.01 at a price that is no less than the applicable per Unit price set forth in the Issuance Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced); provided, that such issuance or sale is closed within forty (40) Business Days after the expiration of the Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Over-Allotment Exercise Period. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Members in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.01. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of the Company, the Board or any Manager or Member if the proposed issuance of New Securities is not consummated for whatever reason except on account of a material breach of this Section 9.01. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of whether to affect an issuance of New Securities shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board.
(f)Closing of the Issuance. The closing of any purchase by any Preferred Member shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. Upon the issuance or sale of any New Securities in

43


accordance with this Section 9.01, the Company shall deliver the New Securities free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the Exercising Members and after payment therefor, duly authorized and validly issued. Each Exercising Member shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale, including entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Board.
(g)Emergency Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company may comply with the provisions of this Section 9.01 by first selling to one or more Offerees some or all of the Units contemplated to be sold by the Company and promptly thereafter offering to sell to each Preferred Member the number of such Units such Preferred Member is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 9.01. In order to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 9.01(g), a Preferred Member must, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the securities or type of securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and the number of such securities such Preferred Member is eligible to purchase, deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Company setting forth the number of Units that such Preferred Member is electing to purchase (not to exceed its pro rata share). In the event that a Preferred Member elects to purchase Units pursuant to this Section 9.01(g), upon the written request of the Board (in its discretion), within thirty (30) days of such written request, the Offerees shall sell, and the offering of Units to the Offerees shall be conditioned on the Offerees agreeing to sell, to the Company the same number and class of Units acquired by the Offerees in connection with the offering that are purchased by such Preferred Members exercising their rights under this Section 9.01(g) for a price per Unit equal to the original cost thereof (plus any accrued and unpaid preferred yield thereon, if applicable).

(c)Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units or Unit Equivalents in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books, and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported Transferor shall continue to be treated) as the owner of such Units or Unit Equivalents for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d)The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.
Section 12.02Effectiveness of Dissolution. Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event described in Section 12.01 occurs, but the Company shall not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been completed, the assets of the Company have been Distributed as provided in Section 12.03, and the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled as provided in Section 12.04.
Section 12.03Liquidation. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 12.01, the Company shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Delaware Act and the following provisions:
(a)Liquidator. The Board, or, if the Board is unable to do so, a Person selected by the Common Requisite Members and the Preferred Requisite Members, shall act as liquidator to wind up the Company (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.
(b)Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm

55


of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.
(c)Distribution of Proceeds. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company and Distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law:
(i)First, to the payment of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to its creditors (including Members, if applicable) and the expenses of liquidation (including sales commissions incident to any sales of assets of the Company);
(ii)Second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the Liquidator to be reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company;
(iii)Third, pro rata among the Preferred Members, until Distributions to the Preferred Members under this Section 12.03(c)(iii) equal the aggregate Liquidation Preference in respect of all the Preferred Units held by the Preferred Members as of the time of such Distribution;
(iv)Fourth, to the Common Members pro rata in proportion to their aggregate holdings of Common Units.
(d)Discretion of Liquidator. Notwithstanding Section 7.04 or the provisions of Section 12.03(c) that require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 12.03(c), if upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, Distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.03(c), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such Distribution in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator, acting in good faith, deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such Distribution, any property to be Distributed shall be valued at its Fair Market Value, as determined by the Liquidator in good faith.
(e)Maintenance of Records. All documents and records of the Company, including financial records, shall be delivered to Reorganized PublicCo upon dissolution of the Company. Reorganized PublicCo shall retain such documents and records for a period of not less than seven (7) years and shall make such documents and records reasonably available during normal business hours to the other Members and their Affiliates for inspection and copying; provided that such access does not unduly interfere with the management and business of Reorganized PublicCo.
Section 12.04Liquidation Preference.

56


(a)The Preferred Units shall be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price, plus declared but unpaid Distributions, and (ii) the amount that would be received in the relevant Liquidation Event on an as-converted basis (the greater of (i) and (ii), the “Liquidation Preference”).
(b)The Liquidation Preference shall be due upon (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Company or (ii) a consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity, a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company, or a sale, license, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (each such event set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this clause (b), a “Liquidation Event”). “Change of Control” shall mean any transaction pursuant to or as a result of which a single party (or group of affiliated parties) directly or indirectly acquires or holds equity interests of the Company or Reorganized PublicCo representing a majority of such entity’s outstanding voting power or economic interests (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Reorganized PublicCo’s majority equity interest in the Company).
Section 12.05Cancellation of Certificate. Upon completion of the Distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 12.03(c), the Company shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.
Section 12.06Survival of Rights, Duties, and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination of the Company for any reason shall not release any party from any Loss which at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination already had accrued to any other party or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall replace, diminish, or otherwise adversely affect any Member’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.02. The provisions of Section 12.03(e) shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination of the Company in accordance with their terms.
Section 12.07Recourse for Claims. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all Distributions with respect to the Company, such Member’s Capital Account, and such Member’s share of Net Income, Net Loss, and other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any Manager, the Liquidator, or any other Member.
ARTICLE XIII
Exculpation and Indemnification
Section 13.01Standard of Care; Duties; Reliance On Information.
(a)Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in its capacity as a Covered Person,

57


whether or not such Person continues to be a Covered Person at the time such loss, damage, or claim is incurred or imposed, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)Waiver of Manager and Officer Duties. Each Member hereby acknowledges the elimination of any and all fiduciary duties of the Board, each Officer and each Manager and hereby waives any right to make a claim or demand or bring a suit or action, and hereby agrees not to make any claim or demand or bring any suit or action, against the Board, any Officer or any Manager that such Member may have been entitled to make or bring if such fiduciary duties were not so eliminated.
(c)Member Duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Member or its Affiliates; (ii) each of the Members and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by Applicable Law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Member to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iii) the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Member; and (iv) whenever in this Agreement a Member is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Member’s “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), such Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Member desires, including such Member’s own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person; and (v) whenever in this Agreement a Member is permitted or required to make a decision in such Member’s “good faith,” such Member shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section 13.01(c) to a Member are to a Member in its capacity as such.
(d)Reliance on Information. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates and upon such information, opinions, reports, or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports, or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income, or Net Losses of the Restricted Entities, or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) a Manager; (ii) one or more Officers or employees of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser, or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of Reorganized PublicCo and its controlled Affiliates, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 18-406 of the Delaware Act.

58


Section 13.02Indemnification.
(a)To the fullest extent permitted by 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 Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution, or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay, and reimburse any Covered Person from and against any and all losses, claims (including any third-party or governmental claims), damages, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims, as the same are incurred, of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third party third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) which may be sustained or suffered by any such Covered Person (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject, based upon, arising out of, or by reason of:
(i)any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company in connection with the business of the Company;
(ii)the fact that such Covered Person is or was acting in connection with the business of the Company as a manager, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of any other Person, including any Restricted Entity; or
(iii)relating in any way to such Covered Person’s status as an equity holder or otherwise relating to such Covered Person’s investment in the Company (including any and all Losses under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law, at common law or otherwise, which relate directly or indirectly to the registration, purchase, sale or ownership of any securities of the Company or to any fiduciary obligation owed with respect thereto);

provided, that such Covered Person’s conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)Advancement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend, or defending any claim relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 13.02(a)

59


shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that, in respect of such matter, such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification for such Losses; provided, however, that the Covered Person shall have provided to the Company (i) written affirmation of such Covered Person’s good faith belief that such Covered Person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification for such Losses under Section 13.02(a); and (ii) an undertaking to repay all such advanced amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to such indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to advance expenses incurred by a Covered Person in connection with a claim initiated against such Covered Person by the Company.
(c)Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 13.02 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 13.02 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 13.02 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees, and distributees of such Covered Person.
(d)Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company shall purchase and thereafter maintain, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person’s duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the Board may determine; provided, that (i) all Preferred Members shall be treated equally under any such insurance policies, and (ii) the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in respect of such Losses.
(e)Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 13.02 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.
(f)Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Preferred Members, their Affiliates and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and other representatives (the “Specified Indemnified Persons”) may have rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by a Member or its Affiliate (directly or by insurance provided by such Person) (collectively, the “Member

60


Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort of the Specified Indemnified Persons with respect to matters for which indemnification is provided to them under this Agreement and that the Company will be obligated to make all payments due to or for the benefit of a Specified Indemnified Person to the extent required under this Agreement without regard to any rights that such Specified Indemnified Person may have against a Member Indemnitor. The Company hereby waives and releases any and all equitable and other rights or claims to contribution, subrogation, or indemnification from or against the Member Indemnitors in respect of any amounts paid to a Specified Indemnified Person hereunder. The Company further agrees that no payment of Losses or expenses by any Member Indemnitor to or for the benefit of a Specified Indemnified Person shall affect the obligations of the Company hereunder, and that the Company shall be obligated to repay the Member Indemnitors for all amounts so paid or reimbursed to the extent that the Company has an obligation to indemnify a Specified Indemnified Person for such Losses or expenses hereunder. The Member Indemnitors are third-party beneficiaries of and shall have the power and authority to enforce the provisions of this Section 13.02(f).
(g)Savings Clause. If this Section 13.02 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 13.02 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 13.02 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.
(h)Amendment. The provisions of this Section 13.02 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 13.02 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification, or repeal of this Section 13.02 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.
Section 13.03Survival. The provisions of this ARTICLE XIII shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination of the Company.
ARTICLE XIV
Miscellaneous
Section 14.01Confidentiality. Each Member shall, and shall cause each of such Member’s Affiliates to, maintain, at all times (including after any time that such Member ceases to be a Member), the confidentiality of all information furnished to such Member pertaining to the Company or its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”), other than information that such Member can demonstrate (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Member or such Member’s Affiliates or Representatives; (b) becomes available to such Member on a non-confidential basis from a third party who is not prohibited by any obligation of confidentiality owed to the Company or its Affiliates from transmitting the

61


information to such Member; or (c) was already in the possession of such Member or such Member’s Affiliates prior to their becoming a Member; provided, however, that the prohibitions set forth in this Section 14.01 shall not prohibit disclosure of Confidential Information (i) to Representatives of such Member or such Member’s Affiliates who, in the reasonable judgment of such Member, have a need to know such information and have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.01 as if a Member; (ii) to any investor in the equity or assets of such Member or its Affiliates as part of disclosures to such investor in the ordinary course of such Member’s or its Affiliate’s business and who is bound by obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than those in this Agreement; (iii) to any bona fide prospective Transferee of such Member that shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.01 as if a Member; (iv) to the extent necessary in the course of performing such Member’s obligations or enforcing any remedy under this Agreement or the agreements expressly contemplated hereby; (v) as is required to be disclosed by a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative body, or governmental body (including in Exchange Act filings, reports, disclosure statements or otherwise by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange) or by subpoena, summons, or legal process, or by Applicable Law; or (vi)  as requested or required by any regulatory, banking or other authority (whether pursuant to an audit, examination, inquiry, request or routine supervisory oversight); provided that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and except in the case of disclosure pursuant to clause (vi) above, the Member required to make such disclosure shall provide to the Board prompt notice of such disclosure. The obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 14.01 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation, and winding up of the Company or the Transfer of such Member’s Units or Unit Equivalents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.01, for purposes of this Section 14.01, receipt of or access to Confidential Information shall not be imputed to any Member’s equityholders or Affiliates (other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), portfolio companies or their respective equityholders solely by virtue of the fact that such Member’s directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents, consultants and other advisors and representatives who serve in a similar capacity for such equityholder, Affiliate or portfolio company (a “Shared Representative”) have received such Confidential Information unless a Shared Representative (x) directly or indirectly conveys, shares or communicates, in any manner, such Confidential Information to such equityholder, Affiliate or portfolio company or (y) participates, directly or indirectly, on behalf of such equityholder, Affiliate or portfolio company, in activities prohibited by this Agreement (including by causing, authorizing, directing or encouraging such equityholder, Affiliate or portfolio company to engage in such activities).
Section 14.02Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors, and accountants, incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement, or any amendment or waiver hereof, and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.
Section 14.03Further Assurances. Each Member shall execute all such certificates and other documents and do all such filing, recording, publishing, and other acts as the Board deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Delaware Act or Applicable Law relating to the formation and operation of the Company and the acquisition, operation, or holding of its property.

Section 14.06Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 13.02(h), upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 14.11Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach, or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 14.11 shall diminish any of the explicit waivers described in this Agreement, including in Section 4.07(e), Section 8.04(c), Section 9.01(c), Section 10.03(c)(ii) and Section 14.14 hereof.
Section 14.12Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the application, construction, validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

64


Section 14.13Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree that any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action, or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action, or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action, or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient form. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 14.04 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court.
Section 14.14Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 14.15Equitable Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of such party’s obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).
Section 14.16No Impairment of Rights. Neither Reorganized PublicCo nor any other Common Member or any of their Affiliates shall take any action that has the intent or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially circumventing, diminishing or impairing any of the rights or economic interests of the Preferred Members; provided, however, that this Section 14.16 shall not supersede Section 13.01 and shall not create any duties for Reorganized PublicCo or any other Common Member beyond those permitted by this Agreement pursuant to Applicable Law.
Section 14.17Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any party hereto institutes any legal suit, action, or proceeding, including arbitration, against another party in respect of a matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in the suit, action, or proceeding shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other damages to which such party may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, action, or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and court costs.

65


Section 14.18Remedies Cumulative. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.
Section 14.19Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by email, or other means of Electronic Transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
Section 14.20Independent Counsel. Each Member has read this Agreement and acknowledges that:
(a)Counsel for the Company prepared this Agreement on behalf of the Company;
(b)Such Member has been advised that a conflict may exist between such Member’s interests, the interests of the other Members, or the interests of the Company;
(c)This Agreement may have significant legal, financial, or tax consequences to such Member;
(d)None of the Company, its Affiliates or Representatives (including counsel) makes or has made any representations to such Member regarding such consequences; and

Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensor, its Affiliates and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Licensor Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, damages and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) to the extent resulting from or arising out of (a) any breach of this Agreement by Licensee or (b) use of the Capstone Trademarks or the domain names or social media accounts set forth on Schedule 3 (collectively, the “Licensed Rights”) by Licensee, except to the extent such Losses result from any claim of Trademark infringement arising from Licensee’s use of the Licensed Rights as authorized by this Agreement, provided that such use is in the same jurisdiction in which, and in connection with the same goods or services in connection with which, Licensor used such Licensed Rights prior to the Effective Date.

Section 6.2Indemnity Procedure. Licensor shall promptly provide Licensee with timely written notice of any and all claims that are within the scope of Licensee’s indemnity hereunder; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of Licensor under Section 6.1, except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices Licensee. Licensee shall not settle or compromise any claims against Licensor without Licensor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such settlement or compromise: (i) includes an unconditional release of Licensor from all liability arising out of such claims; (ii) is solely monetary in nature; and (iii) does not include remedial or equitable measures or relief (including any injunction), a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of, Licensor or otherwise materially adversely affect Licensor. Licensor shall furnish Licensee with such assistance as Licensee shall reasonably request in connection with the defense, settlement and/or discharge of any and all such claims.

Article VII
General
Section 7.1Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by written instrument executed by the Parties, which may be entered into at any time. Any agreement on the part of the Parties to waive any term or provision of this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Party or Parties against whom the waiver is to be effective. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other inaccuracy, breach or failure to strictly comply with the provisions of this Agreement. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
Section 7.2Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, discussions, negotiations and communications, written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 7.3Interpretation.

5


(a)Unless the context otherwise requires, when a reference is made in this Agreement to: (i) Schedules, such reference shall be to a Schedule to this Agreement; (ii) “paragraphs”, such reference shall be deemed references to separate paragraphs of the section or subsection in which the reference occurs; (iii) any contract (including this Agreement) or law shall be deemed references to such contract or law as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with its terms and the terms hereof, as applicable, and in effect at any given time (and, in the case of any law, to any successor provisions thereof) so long as, in the case of any contract, such amendment, supplement and modification has been made available to Licensor or Licensee, as applicable; (iv) any Person, such reference shall be deemed references to such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; and (v) any law shall be deemed references to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b)The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(c)Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” “Writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form. “Or” shall be deemed to be used in the inclusive sense of “and/or.”
(d)Any reference to “days” means calendar days unless business days are expressly specified. If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a business day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding business day thereafter. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.
Section 7.4Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
Section 7.5Notice. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a .pdf document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent prior to 8:00 p.m. in the place of receipt on a business day, and on the next business day if sent after 8:00 p.m. in the place of receipt on a business day or at any time on a date that is not a business day; or (d) on the third (3rd) day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 7.5):

if to Licensor:

[]

if to Licensee:

[]

or such other address as may be specified by a Party pursuant to notice given to the other Party in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

Section 7.6Binding Effect; Persons Benefitting; No Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and any transferee of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. No provision of this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any entity or Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any part hereof. This Agreement may not be assigned by Licensee without the prior written consent of Licensor.

Section 7.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, it being understood that all of the Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by electronic image scan transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 7.8Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a)This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.
(b)Each of the Parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, in any suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims under any theory of liability in respect of such suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action may and shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any defense of inconvenient forum or any other objection to the maintenance of any suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action may be made on such Party, and shall be effective service of process for any such suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action, by sending or delivering a copy of any such process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 7.5. Nothing in this Section 7.8, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
Section 7.9Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the Transactions, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. The Parties each hereby agree and consent that any such suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties to this Agreement may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.
