Section 2.10 Amendment to Section 12.4 -- Equity and Voting. Sections (a) and (b) are amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows: "(a) Upon formation of the Resulting Corporation, the Initial Members' Membership Interests will be converted into the outstanding shares of separate classes of stock, with an additional class of stock designated as shares to be sold to the public in a Qualified Public Offering and into which the Class D Membership Interests shall be converted. Subject to Section 12.3, the separate classes of stock of the Resulting Corporation will have equivalent rights and designations except for voting. The number of shares of the relevant class to be issued to each Member will be calculated to maintain the relative ownership ratio of the Members immediately preceding the formation of the Resulting Corporation with pro rata dilution for the number of shares to be sold to the public. (b) The voting rights will be allocated among the classes (1) to ensure, prior to the Qualified Public Offering, that each Initial Member's rights with respect to its control over certain transactions and certain aspects of the management of the business (including the selection and appointment of Directors) will conform to the control each Initial Member enjoyed over such items (including the selection and appointment of Managers) prior to such merger or other combination, and (2) to preserve, after the Qualified Public Offering, those of the Initial Members' rights which explicitly survive the Qualified Public Offering, including the right to elect a certain number of directors of the Company, which number will be agreed to in good faith by the Initial Members at the time of formation of the Resulting Corporation."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managers need not, except as required by law or judicial order, provide to any Class D Member any information that the Managers reasonably believe to be in the nature of trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information of the Company, or any information the disclosure of which the Managers believe in good faith is not in the best interest of the Company or could damage the Company or its business or which the Company is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential. This Section is in addition to the provisions of Section 19.15, and any disclosure of information under either this Section or Section 19.15 will be subject to execution by the Class D Member of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Managers."

Annual statements furnished pursuant to the preceding sentence will also include (i) a statement of the Members' Capital Accounts and changes therein for such Fiscal Year, and (ii) all information necessary or required for the Company and each Member to comply with its respective federal and state tax reporting obligations.
