(d) FOLLOW-ON CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION. The Class B Member shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company equal to $750,000 (the "FOLLOW-ON CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION"); PROVIDED, that such Follow-on Capital Contribution shall be required only if prior to the expiration of the twenty-four (24) month period following the date of this Agreement, the Company has secured an "IND" from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration, which "IND" shall be consistent with the description of the IND set forth in the Development Plan. Such Follow-on Capital Contribution shall be made within ten (10) days of the Class B Member's receipt of a written "Contribution Notice" given to the Class B Member by the Company attesting to the following: (i) the issuance of the IND described above; (ii) that all development or partnering agreements in effect, or contemplated, as of the date thereof, are in full force and effect, and remain adequate for the task anticipated; and (iii) a then current Development Status Report. The Company and the Class B Member may agree, in their respective sole discretion, to modify or waive any requirements set forth above.

T-3 Opera 14  3.07 THIRD PARTY LIABILITIES. The provisions of this Article III are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor or other Person (other than a Member in his, her, or its capacity as a Member) to whom any debts, liabilities, or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has any claim against) the Company or any of the Members. Moreover, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, including specifically but without limitation this Article III, no such creditor or other Person shall obtain any rights under this Agreement or shall, by reason of this Agreement, make any claim in respect of any debt, liability, or obligation (or otherwise) against the Company or any Member. 3.08 CLASS B REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND REDEMPTION ON CERTAIN EVENTS. (a) JANUARY 2, 2007. The Class B Member shall have the right on written notice to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of its Class B Units on or after January 2, 2007, at a redemption price equal to the Class B Member's Capital Contribution plus a cumulative preferred return of six percent (6%) per annum (the "CLASS B REDEMPTION PRICE"). Such Class B Redemption Price shall be payable in immediately available funds within one hundred twenty (120) days of the delivery of such Class B Member notice. (b) FAILURE TO MATERIALLY CONFORM WITH DEVELOPMENT PLAN. If at any time the Product development shall cease to proceed materially in conformance with the Development Plan for a period of one hundred and eight (180) days after the IND is obtained or the IND is not obtained by June 30, 2004, then in each case, the Class B Member shall be entitled to redeem all or any portion of the Class B Units upon written notice to the Company for an amount equal to its Capital Contribution, and if the Company does not have sufficient liquid assets to pay such redemption price, then it shall provide a demand note in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B attached hereto (the "Demand Note") for the unpaid portion thereof. The Demand Note shall be due and payable within one hundred twenty (120) days of demand thereon and shall be secured by a lien on all of the Company's assets. The Company and the Class B Member may agree, in their respective sole discretion, to modify or waive any requirements set forth above. ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS 4.01 DISTRIBUTION OF COMPANY FUNDS. Except as provided in Section 4.02, 4.04 and the Additional Terms and Conditions, all Company funds, which are determined by the Board to be available for distribution shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. T-3 Opera 15  4.02 DISTRIBUTION UPON DISSOLUTION. Proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction and amounts available upon dissolution, and after payment of, or adequate provision for, the debts and obligations of the Company, and liquidation of any remaining assets of the Company, shall be distributed and applied in the following priority: (i) First, to fund reserves for liabilities not then due and owing and for contingent liabilities to the extent deemed reasonable by the Board; PROVIDED, that, upon the expiration of such period of time as the Board shall deem advisable, the balance of such reserves remaining after payment of such contingencies shall be distributed in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 4.02; and (ii) Second, to the Members, an amount sufficient to reduce the Members' Capital Accounts to zero, in proportion to the positive balances in such Capital Accounts (after reflecting in such Capital Accounts all adjustments thereto necessitated by (A) all other Company transactions (including distributions and allocations of Profits and Losses and items of income, gain, deduction, and loss) and (B) such Terminating Capital Transaction). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Terminating Capital Transaction, as a condition to the consummation of such transaction, the Class B Member first shall be paid the higher of (a) the Class B Redemption Price immediately after the distribution or application of amounts to fund reserves for certain liabilities as provided for by Subsection (i) above, or (b) the Class B Members' proportionate share of the net value of the Company's assets. If the Class B Member is paid the Class B Redemption Price, then the Class B Member's Capital Account shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Class B Redemption Price before the Class B Member joins in any distributions provided for by subsection (ii) above. 4.03 DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS IN KIND. No Member shall have the right to require any distribution of any assets of the Company in kind. If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed on the basis of their fair market value as determined by the Board. Any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board, receive separate assets of the Company and not an interest as tenant-in-common, with other Members so entitled, in each asset being distributed. 4.04 DISTRIBUTIONS TO COVER MEMBERS' TAX LIABILITY. T-3 Opera 16  Unless the Board shall determine that the Company does not have sufficient liquid assets to make the distribution contemplated by this Section 4.04 consistent with prudent business practice, the Board shall, at a minimum, distribute to Members, no less often than quarterly, amounts intended to cover the potential federal, state, or local tax obligations of such Members on account of the cumulative allocation to them of taxable income in excess of tax losses pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, such federal, state, and local tax obligations of each Member shall be assumed to equal the highest effective combined federal and state income tax rate applicable to any Member multiplied by each Member's Percentage Interest multiplied by the cumulative allocation to all Members of taxable income in excess of tax losses determined as described in the definition of Profits and Losses without the adjustments listed therein, with the result reduced by the cumulative amount previously distributed pursuant to this Section 4.04. Partial distributions made to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall be made in proportion to their respective amounts calculated under the previous sentence. For purposes of applying Section 4.04 to subsequent distributions to the Members, distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall be disregarded and shall not be deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 4.01. ARTICLE V ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 5.01 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES. (a) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 9.01 and 9.02, and subject to the other provisions of Article IX, Profits shall be allocated in the following order and priority: (i) First, in proportion to any deficit Capital Account balances, until such deficits are eliminated; and (ii) Second, to each Member until the balance in his, her, or its Capital Account is equal to the amount of such Member's Adjusted Capital Contributions; and (iii) Third, any remaining Profits shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. (b) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 9.01 and 9.02, and subject to the other provisions of Article IX, Losses shall be allocated in the following order and priority: (i) First, to each Member to reduce the balance in his, her, or its Capital Account to an amount equal to such Member's Adjusted Capital Contributions; and (ii) Second, to each Member to reduce the balance in his, her, or its Capital Account to zero; and (iii) Third, any remaining Losses shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. T-3 Opera 17  ARTICLE VI FISCAL MATTERS 6.01 BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Board shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books and records of the Company on the income tax method of reporting and otherwise in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Such documents and information as are required to be furnished to the Members under the Act shall be made available at an office of the Company for examination and copying by any Member or Manager, or his, her, or its duly authorized representative, at his reasonable request and at his expense during ordinary business hours. 6.02 BANK ACCOUNTS. Bank accounts and/or other accounts of the Company shall be maintained in such banking and/or other financial institution(s) as shall be selected by the Board, and withdrawals shall be made and other activity conducted on such signature or signatures as shall be determined by the Board. 6.03 FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Company shall end on December 31 of each year. 6.04 TAX MATTERS PARTNER. The Tax Matters Partner shall be the Person so named in SCHEDULE I hereto. At any time and from time to time if there is no Tax Matters Partner, a Tax Matters Partner may be designated by the Approval of the Board. The Tax Matters Partner is hereby authorized to, and shall perform all duties of, a "tax matters partner" under the Code and shall serve as Tax Matters Partner until his, her, or its resignation or until the designation of his, her, or its successor, whichever occurs sooner. T-3 Opera 18  ARTICLE VII TRANSFERS AND COMPANY ISSUANCES 7.01 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. (a) No Member may Transfer all or any part of his, her, or its Units, or otherwise withdraw from the Company, except with the prior written approval of the Board (excluding a Manager who is the proposed transferor or an Affiliate of the proposed transferor, unless such Manager is the sole Manager of the Company), which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason. No transferee of a Transfer may be admitted as a Member except with the prior written approval of the Board and the Consent of the Members, which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason, and upon the satisfaction of the other requirements of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary (i) the transfer of Class A Units by the Development Corporation to the Option Holder pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement in substantially the form of EXHIBIT C attached hereto shall be expressly permitted hereby and upon such transfer the Option Holder shall be admitted to the Company as a Class A Member, subject only to the other provisions set forth in this Section 7.01 and (ii) the transfer of Class B Units by St. Lawrence to any of its Affiliates shall be expressly permitted hereby and upon such transfer any such Affiliate shall be admitted to the Company as a Class B Member, subject to the other provisions set forth in Section 7.01. (b) No Person who becomes the holder by operation of law of all or any portion of the Units may be admitted as a Member except with the prior written approval of the Board and the Consent of the Members, which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason, and upon satisfaction of the other requirements of this Agreement. (c) Every Transfer of a Unit permitted by this Article VII shall nevertheless be subject to the following: (i) No Transfer of any Units may be made if such Transfer would cause or result in a breach of any agreement binding upon the Company or of then applicable rules and regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over such Transfer. The Board may require as a condition of any Transfer that the transferor assume all costs incurred by the Company in connection therewith and furnish an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company both as to counsel and opinion, that the proposed Transfer complies with applicable law, including federal and state securities laws, and does not cause the Company to be an investment company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Unit shall be transferred if, by reason of such Transfer, the classification of the Company as an Company for federal income tax purposes would be adversely affected or jeopardized, or if such Transfer would have any other substantial adverse effect for federal income tax purposes. T-3 Opera 19  (iii) In the event of any Transfer, there shall be filed with the Company a duly executed and acknowledged counterpart of the instrument effecting such Transfer. The transferee, if any, shall execute such additional instruments as shall be reasonably required by the Board. If and for so long as such instruments are not so executed and filed, the Company need not recognize any such Transfer for any purpose, and the transferee shall be entitled only to the rights which are required under the Act to be afforded to a transferee who does not become a Member. (iv) Upon the admission or withdrawal of a Member, this Agreement (including without limitation SCHEDULE I hereto) and/or the Certificate shall be amended appropriately by the Board to reflect the then existing names and addresses of the Members and their respective Percentage Interests and Units. (d) A transferor of a Unit shall, if the transferee is a Member hereunder or if the transferee becomes a Member pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, be relieved of liability under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Unit arising or accruing on or after the effective date of the Transfer. (e) Any Person who acquires in any manner whatsoever a Unit, whether or not such Person has accepted and assumed in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement or been admitted into the Company as a Member as provided in this Section 7.01, shall be deemed, by acceptance of the acquisition thereof, to have agreed to be subject to and bound by all of the obligations of this Agreement with respect to such Unit and shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any subsequent Transfer of such Unit. (f) Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be null and void and ineffective to transfer any interest in the Company, and shall not bind, or be recognized by, or be recorded on the books of, the Company, and any transferee or assignee in such transaction shall not be or be treated as or deemed to be a Member for any purpose. In the event any Member shall at any time Transfer a Unit in contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement, then each other Member shall, in addition to all rights and remedies at law and equity, be entitled to a decree or order restraining and enjoining such transaction, and the offending Member shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law, it being expressly hereby acknowledged and agreed that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the violation of the provisions concerning such transactions set forth in this Agreement. 7.02 RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION IN COMPANY SALES. T-3 Opera 20  (a) RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION ON COMPANY ISSUANCES. The Company shall, prior to any proposed issuance by the Company of any of securities for cash (other than debt securities with no equity feature), first offer to each Class B Member by written notice the right, for a period of thirty (30) days, to purchase for cash at an amount equal to the price or other consideration for which such securities are to be issued, all such securities. Each purchasing Class B Member shall be entitled to purchase its pro rata share of such offered securities based upon the Percentage Interest of such purchasing Class B Member in relation to the aggregate Percentage Interests held by all purchasing Class B Members unless the purchasing Class B Members agree to a different allocation. (b) EXCEPTIONS TO RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION. The participation rights of each of the Class B Members pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall not apply to securities issued or issuable: (a) as an equity dividend or upon any subdivision of Units; PROVIDED, that the securities issued pursuant to such dividend or subdivision are limited to additional Units, (b) pursuant to subscriptions, warrants, options, convertible securities, or other rights which are outstanding or the date of this Agreement, (c) pursuant to a public offering, (d) pursuant to the grant or exercise of options or warrants to purchase Units granted in the future to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company and approved after the date of this Agreement by the Board, (e) in connection with any strategic partner alliance or joint venture where the parties to such venture are not financial investors, or (f) in connection with the acquisition by the Company of a business or other entity or operating assets of a business or other entity where the Company is the surviving entity and is not the target of such acquisition. (c) MECHANICS OF RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION. The Company's written notice to the Class B Members shall describe the securities proposed to be issued by the Company and specify the number, price and payment terms. Each of the Class B Members may accept the Company's offer as to the full number of securities offered to it or any lesser number, by written notice thereof given by it to the Company prior to the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, in which event the Company shall sell and such party shall buy, upon the terms specified, the number of securities agreed to be purchased by such party at such time and commensurate with the sale by the Company of all of the remainder of such securities and as hereinafter provided. The Company shall be free at any time prior to one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of its notice of offer to each of the Class B Members, to offer and sell to any third party or parties the remainder of such securities proposed to be issued by the Company (including but not limited to the securities not agreed by the Class B Members to be purchased by them), at a price and on payment terms no less favorable to the Company than those specified in such notice of offer to the Class B Members. However, if such third party sale or sales are not consummated within such 120-day period, the Company shall not sell such securities as shall not have been purchased within such period without again complying with this Section 7.02. T-3 Opera 21  (d) EXPIRATION OF PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. The participation rights set forth in this Section 7.02 shall expire on the two (2) year anniversary date of this Agreement; PROVIDED, that if the Company commences but does not consummate an offering prior to the above referenced expiration date the expiration date shall be extended until such offering closes. ARTICLE VIII DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION 8.01 LIMITATIONS. The Company may be dissolved, liquidated, and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, and the parties hereto do hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to a dissolution of the Company or a sale or partition of any or all of the Company assets. 8.02 EVENTS CAUSING DISSOLUTION. Notwithstanding the Act, the Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up only upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) A Terminating Capital Transaction; PROVIDED, that no Terminating Capital Transaction may occur without the prior written approval of the Board, the Consent of the Members and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02; (b) The election to dissolve the Company made in writing by the approval of the Board with the Consent of the Members; or (c) Any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any entity in which the Company is not the resulting or surviving entity; PROVIDED, that no such consolidation or merger may occur without the prior written approval of the Board and the Consent of the Members; or (d) Any dissolution of the Company other than as provided in this Paragraph 8.02 shall be a dissolution in contravention of this Agreement. 8.03 PROCEDURES ON DISSOLUTION. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board or if none, a liquidator elected by the Consent of the Members, shall liquidate the assets of the Company, apply and distribute the proceeds thereof under Section 4.02 of this Agreement, and cause the cancellation of the Certificate. The Company shall not terminate until the Certificate shall be canceled. T-3 Opera 22  ARTICLE IX TAX ALLOCATION PROVISIONS 9.01 REQUIRED REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS. (a) LIMITATION ON AND REALLOCATION OF LOSSES. At no time shall any allocations of Losses, or any item of loss or deduction, be made to a Member if and to the extent such allocation would cause such Member to have, or would increase, any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member at the end of any fiscal year. To the extent any Losses or items are not allocated to one or more Members pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Losses shall be allocated to the Members to which such losses or items may be allocated without violation of this Section 9.01(a). (b) MINIMUM GAIN CHARGE-BACK. If there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain of the Company during any fiscal year, then items of income or gain of the Company for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in the Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1). A Member's share of the net decrease in the Minimum Gain of the Company shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items of income and gain to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). (c) PARTNER MINIMUM GAIN CHARGE-BACK. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Article IX, other than Section 9.01(b) above, if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year, then each Member who has a share of such Partner Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), shall be allocated items of income and gain of the Company, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to each such Member's share of the net decrease in such Partner Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-(2)(i). (d) QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET. If any Member unexpectedly receives an item described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, as quickly as possible and to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member; PROVIDED, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article IX have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.01(d) were not in the Agreement. (e) GROSS INCOME ALLOCATION. In the event any Member has a Capital Account deficit at the end of any Company fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of the items to be credited to a T-3 Opera 23  Member's Capital Account under clause (a) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, then each such Member shall be allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; PROVIDED, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.01(e) shall be made if, and only to the extent that, such Member would have a Capital Account deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article IX have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.01(e) were not in this Agreement. As among Members having such excess, if there are not sufficient items of income and gain to eliminate all such excesses, such allocations shall be made in proportion to the amount of any such excess. (f) NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period (not including any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions allocated pursuant to Section 9.01(g)) shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Solely for purposes of determining each Member's proportionate share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Company, within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member's interest in Company profits shall be equal to his, her, or its Percentage Interest. The items of losses, deductions, and Code Section 705(a)(2)(b) expenditures to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(1)(ii). (g) PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the nonrecourse liability (as determined and defined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1). The items of losses, deductions, and Code Section 705(a)(2)(b) expenditures to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(1)(ii). (h) BASIS ADJUSTMENT. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to either of Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations. 9.02 CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS. The allocations set forth in Section 9.01 are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Such allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to divide Company distributions and to make Profit and Loss allocations. Accordingly, by Approval of the Board, other T-3 Opera 24  allocations of Profits, Losses, and items thereof shall be made among the Members so as to prevent the allocations in Section 9.01 from distorting the manner in which Company distributions will be made among the Members pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits, Losses, and items of income, gain, loss, and deduction among the Members so that the net amount of allocations under Section 9.01, and allocations under this Section 9.02, to each such Member is zero. However, the Board shall have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner. 9.03 TAX ALLOCATIONS AND BOOK ALLOCATIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.03, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall, to the extent appropriate, be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" income, gain, loss, or deduction has been allocated pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, depreciation, amortization, gain, and loss, as determined for tax purposes, with respect to any property whose Book Value differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes shall, for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members 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, such allocation to be made by Approval of the Board in any manner which is permissible under said Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, and the Regulations under Code Section 704(b). In the event the Book Value of any property of the Company is subsequently adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any such property shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.03 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 Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 9.04 GENERAL ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION RULES. (a) INTERIM ALLOCATIONS. For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Board using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocable among the Members in the same proportions as the Profits or Losses are allocated for the fiscal year in which such item is included. T-3 Opera 25  (b) NEW MEMBERS. Upon the admission of a new Member or the Transfer of an Interest, the new and old Members or the transferor and transferee shall be allocated shares of Profits and Losses and other allocations and shall receive distributions, if any, based on the portion of the fiscal year that the new or transferred Interest was held by the new and old Members, or the transferor and transferee, respectively. For the purpose of allocating Profits and Losses and other allocations and distributions, (i) such admission or Transfer shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day of the month in which it occurs, or if such date shall not be permitted for allocation purposes under the Code or the Regulations, on the nearest date otherwise permitted under the Code or the Regulations, and (ii) if required by the Code or the Regulations, the Company shall close its books on an interim basis on the last day of the previous calendar month. 9.05 TAX WITHHOLDING. If the Company incurs a withholding tax obligation with respect to the share of income allocated to any Member, (a) any amount which is (i) actually withheld from a distribution that would otherwise have been made to such Member and (ii) paid over in satisfaction of such withholding tax obligation shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as if such amount had been distributed to such Member, and (b) any amount which is so paid over by the Company, but which exceeds the amount, if any, actually withheld from a distribution which would otherwise have been made to such Member, shall be treated as an interest-free advance to such Member. Amounts treated as advanced to any Member pursuant to this Section 9.05 shall be repaid by such Member to the Company within 30 days after the Board gives notice to such Member making demand therefor. Any amounts so advanced and not timely repaid shall bear interest, commencing on the expiration of said 30 day period, compounded monthly on unpaid balances, at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate as of such expiration date. The Company shall collect any unpaid amounts from any Company distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member. ARTICLE X GENERAL PROVISIONS 10.01 NOTICES. Any and all notices under this Agreement shall be effective (a) upon delivery, if delivered in hand, (b) on the third business day after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (c) on the first business day after being sent by express mail, telecopy, or commercial overnight delivery service providing a receipt for delivery. All such notices in order to be effective shall be in writing and addressed, if to the Company, at its registered office under the Act and, if to a Member, at the last address of record on the Company books. Copies of such notices shall also be sent to the last address for the recipient which is known to the sender, if different from the address so specified. T-3 Opera 26  10.02 WORD MEANINGS. Words such as "herein," "hereinafter," "hereof," and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. 10.03 BINDING PROVISIONS. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, the covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, their heirs, Legal Representatives, and permitted successors and assigns, and any other Person who is issued or who is otherwise acquires any Interest at any time. 10.04 APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement, including its existence, validity, construction, and operating effect, and the rights of each of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law. 10.05 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and, as so executed, shall constitute one agreement binding on all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of the parties have not signed the original or the same counterpart. 10.06 SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable. If, for any reason, any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein would cause the Members to be liable for or bound by the obligations of the Company, such provision or provisions shall be deemed void and of no effect. 10.07 SECTION TITLES.

DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein or defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them below: "ADJUSTED CLASS B PERCENTAGE INTEREST" means the Class B Percentage Interest as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 below. "ADJUSTMENT CALCULATION" means the formula described in Section 3 below and used to determine the adjustment to the Class B Percentage Interest. "BASE PERCENTAGE" initially means twelve and one-half percent (12.5%), and on and after the making of the Follow-on Contribution, shall mean up to twenty-five percent (25%). "DEVELOPMENT PARTNER" means any drug formulator, laboratory or pharmaceutical company contracted by the Company to formulate the Products. "FINAL SHARE PERCENTAGE" means (a) the Net Revenue Percentage less (b) the North Shore Percentage and LESS (c) such percentage of the license revenue received by the Company as shall be payable on account of any agreement with a Development Partner entered into prior to final FDA approval. By way of example only, if (i) the Company shall be entitled to a Net Revenue Percentage of 20% from Product sales as a license fee for the distribution and sale of the Products by a Marketing Partner, (ii) North Shore Hospital shall be entitled to the North Shore Percentage (i.e. 3% of net sales from Product sales) and (iii) the Development Partner shall be entitled to 18% of the net revenues payable to the Company (which is the equivalent of 3.6% of the net revenues from Product sales), then the Final Share Percentage would be 13.4%. "MARKETING PARTNER" means any development, marketing or licensing partner or joint venturer or licensor of the Company. "MINIMUM PERCENTAGE" means (i) with reference to one single-Product agreement, twenty percent (20%); (ii) with reference to a multi-Product agreement, the Net Revenue Percentage of such multi-Product agreement; and (iii) with reference to two single-Product agreements, the average of the Net Revenue Percentage of the agreements. T-3 Opera 38  "NET REVENUE PERCENTAGE" means the percentage of net revenue of any Marketing Partner derived from the sale the Products that shall be payable by the Marketing Partner to the Company; provided, that if within the two year period following the execution of the first single-product licensor/distributor agreement, the Company executes a second single-product licensor/distributor agreement, then the Net Revenue Percentage shall be the average of the two individual Net Revenue Percentages. "NORTH SHORE PERCENTAGE" means three percent (3%) of net sales (as such term is defined in the license agreement with North Shore Hospital). "PARTNER PAYMENT" shall mean all development fees, milestone payments, lump-sum initial license fees or similar fees or payment amounts received by the Company from any Marketing Partner, in each case net of costs, payments to development partners or other third parties and such amount of retained capital as Board shall determine to be necessary for operational purposes (including but not limited to any required reserves established by the Board). Amounts paid as an advance of license fees, for which the Marketing Partner receives a credit applicable to future license fees due on Product sale, shall not be deemed a Partner Payment. 2. DISTRIBUTION OF COMPANY FUNDS TO THE CLASS B MEMBER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, or in this SCHEDULE 2, and notwithstanding any increase in the Class B Percentage Interests that may result from Section 3 below, in the event that the Company shall receive any Partner Payment, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Class B Member shall be entitled to receive a distribution of such portion of the Partner Payment as equals the then current Base Percentage. The allocation of any Profits and/or Losses pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Agreement shall be adjusted as appropriate to accommodate for the distribution preference set forth above. 3. ADJUSTMENT OF CLASS B PERCENTAGE INTEREST. 3.1 ADJUSTMENT CALCULATION. The Class B Percentage Interest shall be adjusted, as follows: (x) there shall be a calculation of the amount by which the Net Revenue Percentage is less than twenty percent (20%); and (y) this difference shall be converted into a factor by dividing the Minimum Percentage by the Final Share Percentage; and (z) the Base Percentage shall then be multiplied by such factor, but in any case not by a factor that exceeds 2X; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if prior to the third T-3 Opera 39  anniversary of the Agreement (and prior the date of final FDA approval as defined by the Development Plan) the Class B Member receives aggregate distributions from Partner Payments in an amount equal to the Class B Member's total Capital Contributions as set forth on SCHEDULE 1, then the Class B Percentage Interest resulting from the calculations of (x), (y) and (z) above shall be reduced (i) by 1% for each $1,000,000 of distributions (or portion thereof, in increments of 1/10 of 1%) actually paid to the Class B Member and (ii) thereafter, by 2% for each $1,000,000 of distributions actually paid to the Class B Member (or portion thereof, in increments of 1/10 of 1%), but in no event shall the aggregate of such reductions result in an Adjusted Class B Percentage Interest below (i) 12.5% prior to the Follow-on Capital Contribution or (ii) 25% after the Follow-on Capital Contribution. By way of example only, if the Final Share Percentage were 13.4%, then the shortfall described in (x) shall be 6.6%, and the factor referred to in (y) shall be approximately 1.5X, and (z) shall result in the Base Percentage of 25% being multiplied by 1.5X, for a resulting Adjusted Class B Percentage Interest of approximately 38%. 3.2 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT TO CLASS B PERCENTAGE. Any adjustment to the Class B Percentage Interest shall be deemed to be made automatically and without action by the Company or the Class B Member. Upon any determination by the Company that the Class B Percentage Interest is to be adjusted, the Company shall immediately provide a written description of the reasons for such adjustment, and the details of the Adjustment Calculation. The Class B Member at any time shall be entitled to request an Adjustment Calculation, including details of all prior calculations, and the Company shall provide such Adjustment Calculation within three (3) days of such request. 3.4 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES. The allocation of any Profits and/or Losses pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Agreement shall be adjusted as appropriate to accommodate for the adjustment of the Class B Percentage Interest. 3.5. CLASS B UNITS. To the extent that the Class B Percentage Interest is adjusted hereunder, the number of Class B Units shall be adjusted accordingly. Accordingly, if certificates representing the Class B Interests have been issued by the Company, the holders thereof shall submit such certificates for cancellation and new certificates representing the adjusted Class B Interests shall be issued to such holders. 3.6 VOTING AGREEMENT. If the aggregate Class B Percentage Interest increases to forty-seven and one-half percent (47.5%) of the total Percentage Interest, the Option Holder agrees to vote his Units as instructed by the Development Corporation until such time as St Lawrence's Percentage Interest is less than forty-five percent (45.0%), PROVIDED, that the Voting Agreement set forth herein shall not apply to actions requiring the Members to vote separately by class. T-3 Opera 40  4. ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS AND ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION In the event that Interests or equivalent ownership in the Company is issued to one or more third parties (other than to the Option Holder, any person or entity which is Member as of the date of the Agreement, or an Affiliate thereof) (a "NEW MEMBER"), then: (i) the Adjusted Class B Percentage Interest shall be diluted on the same proportionate basis as the existing Class A Members' Percentage Interests until such time as such New Member(s) shall hold an aggregate of 40% or more of the Company's Interests; and (ii) thereafter, dilution of the Class A and Class B Interests shall be borne 87.5% by the existing Class A Members and 12.5% by the Class B Member, until the sum of the Class A Members' Percentage Interests is equal to the Adjusted Class B Percentage Interest; and (iii) thereafter, the Class B Members and the Class A Members shall again be diluted equally, as in the preceding clause (i). 5. COMPANY USE OF PROCEEDS The Company shall at all times utilize the initial Capital Contribution and the Follow-on Capital Contribution of the Class B Member solely in pursuit of, and in conformance with the use of proceeds described in the Development Plan, and shall, within ten (10) days of any written request by the Class B Member (which request shall be not more frequent than four (4) times each calendar year) deliver a written certification by the Company, attested to by its Chief Executive Officer (a "DEVELOPMENT STATUS REPORT"), certifying that (a) such contributions have been expended for the continued operation and funding of development of the Products, (b) there is attached thereto a reasonably detailed accounting of the use of the initial Capital Contribution and the Follow-on Contribution through the date of the certification, and (c) that the Company's development of the Products and all uses of the Capital Contributions of the Class B Member are in conformity with the Development Plan (including but not limited to the funding schedule set forth therein). 6. MERGER WITH CLASS B MEMBER AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS. At any time after both (x) the Company has obtained final FDA approval (as set forth in the Development Plan), and (y) the Class B Member has received aggregate distributions equal to its Capital Contributions, then upon the request of the Class A Member, the Class B Member shall issue to the Class A Member (in exchange for all of their interest in the Company) such amount of common stock of the Class B Member as represents the relative value of the Class A Members interest of the T-3 Opera 41  combined entity on a basis and exchange ratio agreed upon by the Class B Manager and the Class A Manager based upon the relative fair market value of each of the Class B Member and the Company immediately prior to such exchange (the "TRANSACTION"). If the Class B Manager and the Class A Manager shall not agree on such relative values, then they shall promptly and in good faith select one or more appraisers to determine such relative values. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no party shall be obligated to consummate the Transaction in the event it is reasonably likely that the Transaction will constitute a taxable event for such party. In such case, the parties will, in good faith, seek an alternative tax-free structure to the Transaction. As provided for in a separate registration rights agreement (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") in substantially the form of EXHIBIT D attached hereto, the Class B Member will have two demand registration rights exercisable at any time and will also be entitled to Form S-3 and piggyback registration rights at any time, subject to underwriter's limitations. The Company shall bear the expenses of such registrations. The Company shall not grant new registration rights to any other Person that would be superior to the Class B Members' registration rights.

Any Registrable Units excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. The determination of the Selling Holders referenced above shall be evidenced by a writing (the "WITHDRAWAL NOTICE") and delivered to the Company within the above-referenced 10-day period.

T-3 Opera 63  For the purposes of Subsections (i) and (ii) above, a registration shall not count until it becomes effective. 2.7 PRIORITY ON DEMAND REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall be entitled to include in any Registration Statement referred to in this Section 2, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the Selling Holders, Units to be sold by the Company for its own account and for the account of other selling holders, except as and to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter (if such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering), or in the opinion of the Board of Managers (if such method of disposition shall not be an underwritten public offering), such inclusion would materially and adversely affect such public offering. A written copy of such opinion of the managing underwriter or Board of Managers shall be provided to any Selling Holder upon such holder's request. 3. PIGGY BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 3.1 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. If, at any time (other than pursuant to Section 2), the Company determines to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Form S-8 or its then equivalent, or in connection with a Rule 145 transaction or Form S-4 or its equivalent, or another form not available for registering the Registrable Units for sale to the public), each such time it will give prompt written notice to the Holders of its intention so to do and of the proposed method of distribution of such securities. Upon the written request of any such Holder, received by the Company within 10 days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to include in the registration a designated number of its Registrable Units, the Company will cause such Registrable Units to be covered by the Registration Statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent and under the conditions such registration is permitted under the Securities Act. A Holder's failure to deliver such notice during the above-referenced 10 day period shall be deemed a waiver by such Holder of its right to participate in such registration. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital interests, the Company shall not be required under this Section 3 to include any of the Registrable Units in such underwriting unless the Selling Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into such underwriting agreement with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. In connection with any such underwriting agreement, the Selling Holders shall not be required to make representations and warranties other than representations and warranties regarding their ownership and title to the Registrable Units being sold and the plan of distribution with respect to the Registrable Units. T-3 Opera 64  3.2 PRIORITY ON PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS. In the event that a registration pursuant to this Section 3 is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration would materially and adversely affect such public offering, the Company will include in such registration (A) FIRST, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (B) SECOND, the Registrable Units requested to be included in such registration which in such opinion of such underwriters can be sold, pro rata among the Selling Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Units owned by such holders, with further successive pro rata allocations among the Selling Holders if any such holder had requested the registration of less than all such Registrable Units it is entitled to register, and (C) THIRD, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, other securities requested to be included in such registration to the extent granted registration rights pari passu with the Registrable Units shall be treated on a pro rata basis with the Registrable Units for the purposes of this Section 3.2. 3.3 PRIORITY ON SECONDARY REGISTRATIONS. In the event that a registration pursuant to this Section 3 is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities (other than a demand registration under this Agreement) and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration would materially and adversely affect such public offering, the Company will include in such registration (x) FIRST, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration, (y) SECOND, the Registrable Units requested to be included in such registration which in such opinion of such underwriters can be sold, pro rata among the Selling Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Units owned by such holders, with further successive pro rata allocations among the Selling Holders if any such holder has requested the registration of less than all such Registrable Units it is entitled to register, and (z) THIRD, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, other securities requested to be included in such registration to the extent granted registration rights pari passu with the Registrable Units shall be treated on a pro rata basis with the Registrable Units for the purposes of this Section 3.3. 4. MARKET STAND-OFF. 4.1 RESTRICTIONS ON COMPANY OFFERINGS. The Company shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its Units or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Units, during the 7 days prior to and during the 60 day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten registration pursuant to Section 2 (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form or as part of any other issuance of Units in exchange for securities or assets of another corporation), unless the underwriters managing such registered public offering otherwise agree; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the restrictions pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall expire 60 days from the effective date of the second demand registration pursuant to Section 2. T-3 Opera 65  4.2 RESTRICTIONS ON OFFERINGS OF HOLDERS. Other than pursuant to Section 3, the holders of Registrable Units shall not effect any public sale or distribution of their Registrable Units, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Registrable Units, during the 7 days prior to and during the 60 day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten registration of Units initiated by the Company unless the underwriters managing such registered public offering otherwise agree. 5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 2 or 3 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Units under the Securities Act, the Company will, at its cost and expense, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement (which, in the case of an underwritten public offering pursuant to Section 2.2, shall be on Form S-1 or other form of general applicability satisfactory to the managing underwriter selected as therein provided) with respect to such securities and use it best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for up to 3 months for a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 and up to 6 months for a registration pursuant to Section 2.3 or, if earlier until the distribution has been completed; (b) prepare and file as expeditiously as reasonably practicable and in any event within 90 days with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period specified in Subsection (a) above and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Units covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with the Selling Holders' intended method of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement for such period; (c) furnish to each Selling Holder and to each underwriter such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Units covered by such Registration Statement; (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Units covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter reasonably shall request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; T-3 Opera 66  (e) use its best efforts to list the Registrable Units covered by such Registration Statement with NASDAQ or any securities exchange on which the Units of the Company is then listed, or NASDAQ or such securities exchange as shall be selected by the Company; (f) promptly notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter under such Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; (g) notify each Selling Holder under such Registration Statement of (i) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, (ii) the filing of any post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement, or (iii) the filing of a supplement to such Registration Statement; (h) deliver to all Selling Holders as soon as reasonably possible after effectiveness of such Registration Statement an earning statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement as referred to in Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and (i) make available for inspection upon reasonable notice during the Company's regular business hours by each Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Selling Holder or underwriter, all material financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Selling Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement. 6. OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO REGISTRATION. 6.1 INFORMATION FROM SELLING HOLDERS. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Units that the Selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Units held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Units or to comply with applicable state securities laws. In no way limiting the foregoing, the Selling Holders shall complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of any such underwriting arrangements. T-3 Opera 67  6.2 PROSPECTUS DELIVERY. The Selling Holders acknowledge that there may be times (including without limitation the circumstances as described in Section 2.6 hereof) when, notwithstanding the Company's efforts described in Section 5, the Company must temporarily suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of any such Registration Statement until such time as (i) the Company has filed an amendment to such Registration Statement and such amendment has been declared effective by the Commission, (ii) the Company has supplemented the relevant prospectus, or (iii) the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company shall use its best efforts to promptly notify the Selling Holders, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Registrable Units covered by such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or of the happening of an event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. During any period in which sales are suspended, the Selling Holders agree not to sell any such Registrable Units pursuant to any such prospectus. Subject only to the Company's right to give notice of a suspension period as permitted under Section 2.6, the Company shall promptly provide the Selling Holders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised prospectuses, the Selling Holders shall be free to resume making offers of the Registrable Units. 6.3. EXPENSES. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Registration Statement under the registration requirements of this Agreement. All Selling Expenses in connection with each Registration Statement under the registration requirements of this Agreement shall be borne by the Selling Holders in proportion to the number of Registrable Units sold by each, or by such Selling Holders other than the Company (except to the extent the Company shall be a seller) as they may agree. 6.4 LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS. Each Holder who, at the time of the proposed filing of the first Registration Statement for an underwritten offering by the Company or by a Selling Holder, beneficially owns 1% or more of the outstanding capital interest of the Company, on a fully-converted, fully-diluted basis, shall, agree, to be bound by such lock-up agreements as the managing underwriter of any such registration shall specify as a requirement to any such underwriting. 7. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. 7.1 COMPANY INDEMNIFICATION. In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, each underwriter of such Registrable Units thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (each a "SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, judgments, settlements and expenses, including T-3 Opera 68  without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel actually incurred incident to the investigation or defense of any claim or proceeding or threatened claim or proceeding, (collectively, the "DAMAGES"), to which such Seller Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Units were registered pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any violations of applicable securities law relating to such registration (collectively, the "VIOLATIONS"). The indemnification obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to the following: (a) amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (b) Damages that arise out of or are based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing expressly for use in connection with such registration by a Seller Indemnified Party; (c) Damages arising from the sale of Registrable Units to any Person by a Seller Indemnified Party that failed to send or give a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) to that Person within the time required by the Securities Act, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such Damages; and (d) Damages that are finally judicially determined to result primarily from actions taken or omitted to be taken by a Seller Indemnified Party due to such party's willful misconduct or gross negligence. 7.2 SELLING HOLDER INDEMNIFICATION. In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Units pursuant to this Agreement, each Selling Holder thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (each a "COMPANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against all Damages, to which a Company Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged T-3 Opera 69  untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Units were registered pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, a Selling Holder will be liable hereunder if and only to the extent that any such Damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Selling Holder in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or prospectus; PROVIDED, that the liability of such Selling Holder hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such Damages that are equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the units sold by such Selling Holder under such Registration Statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the net proceeds (after underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such Selling Holder in respect of shares sold by such Selling Holder. The indemnification obligations of each Selling Holder set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to the following: (a) amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if such settlement is effected without the written consent of those Selling Holders holding a majority of those Registrable Units sold or to be sold to the public (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); or (b) Damages that are finally judicially determined to result primarily from actions taken or omitted to be taken by a Company Indemnified Party due to such party's willful misconduct or gross negligence 7.3 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim it may have for indemnification under this Section 7, including the institution of any legal action against the indemnified party specifying in reasonable detail the Damages and the nature of the claim. Failure of an indemnified party to promptly give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligation to indemnify hereunder, but as a result of such failure, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for the amount of Damages caused by such failure. In case any action shall be brought against the indemnified party, notification shall be given to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party) and of its agreement to be fully responsible for all liability arising from such action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall furnish at the indemnifying party's T-3 Opera 70  reasonable request and expense, information and assistance necessary for such defense. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party unless the indemnified party reasonably concludes (based on the advice of counsel) that the indemnifying party and the indemnified party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such action in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party shall be considered "Damages" for purposes of this Section 7. The indemnifying party shall not settle or compromise a claim without prior written notice to and consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7.4 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction (by the entry of a final judgment or decree and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Damages, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in any such case (A) the Selling Holder will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds (after underwriting discounts and commissions) from the offering received by such Selling Holder, and (B) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. 7.4 SURVIVAL. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive for such indemnified party and such officers, directors or controlling Persons of such indemnified party the transfer of securities. 8. MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 RULE 144 REPORTING AND RULE 144A INFORMATION. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the resale of the Registrable Shares without registration, the Company will at all times after 90 days after T-3 Opera 71  the initial registered public offering of the Company's Units or following registration under Section 12 of the Exchange Act: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to each Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any Registrable Units without registration. In addition, the Company shall, at the request of any Holder, make available to such Holder and to any prospective transferee of such Holder the information concerning the Company described in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 8.2. LIMITATIONS ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders holding no less than a majority of the Registrable Units enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would give such holder or prospective holder registration rights which are superior to those of the Holders hereunder. 8.3 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the registration rights set forth herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Company's initial registered public offering of Units. 8.4 ADDITIONAL PARTIES. If any Holder transfers any Registrable Units such Holder shall cause the execution by such transferee of a counterpart of this Agreement and an amendment adding such transferee's name as a signatory hereto. This Agreement shall thereafter be amended and restated to include such transferee without the necessity of procuring an amendment to this Agreement by the other Parties. Any such transferee acquiring Registrable Units from a Holder, shall be deemed a "Holder" hereunder. 8.5 CHANGES IN UNITS. If, and as often as, there is any change in the Class B Units by way of a equity split, equity dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to Class B Units as so changed. T-3 Opera 72  8.6 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. 8.7 DAMAGES. The Company recognizes and agrees that the Holders will not have an adequate remedy if the Company fails to comply with this Agreement and that damages may not be readily ascertainable, and the Company expressly agrees that, in the event of such failure, it shall not oppose an application by a Holder requiring specific performance of any and all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to commit any such breach of this Agreement. 8.8 NOTICES. All notices under this Agreement shall be sent to the respective Parties at the address specified in the preamble hereof, in the case of the Company, and on the Schedules attached hereto, in the case of the other Parties, or such other address as each such Party may designate in writing.

If any provisions of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable to the maximum extent possible in accordance with their terms. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, legal representatives and heirs. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof can be modified, amended, changed, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Company and the holders of no less than a majority of the Registrable Shares. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original (a facsimile shall be deemed an original), but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed T-3 Opera 73  as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
