No ------------------------------------------------------ Class B Member shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions. Notwithstanding Section 3.1(c) above, the Class A Member shall make such additional Capital Contributions (the "Additional Contributions") as determined by a Majority Interest to be necessary for the Company to meet its ordinary and necessary administrative and accounting expenses. No Person may be admitted to the Company as a Member if such Person constitutes a Prohibited Member as defined in Section 11.5 of the Zhone Class B Member Purchase Agreement. Except as prohibited by the previous sentence, the Company may at any time: (a) admit new Members as determined by a Majority Interest, and (b) reissue Series B Common Units reacquired pursuant to the exercise of a Repurchase Option, on such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Zhone Board Super Majority and a Class B Majority.

(b) If the Class A Member is Delinquent: (i) The Zhone Board shall give all Affiliated Class A Members notice (the "Affiliated Class A Members Notice") of that fact within five (5) days of the Delinquency Date; (ii) The Class A Member grants each Affiliated Class A Member the option (the "CYA Option") to acquire the same percentage (the "CYA Percentage") of the Delinquent Percent as of the Delinquency Date of the Delinquent Class A Member's Adjusted Percentage Interest, Series A Preferred Units, Adjusted Unreturned Class A Member's Capital Contribution and Basic Threshold Return (collectively the "Delinquent's Interest") as the amount of such Affiliated Class A Member's capital contribution commitment to an Affiliated LLC bears to the aggregate capital contribution commitments of all Affiliated Class A Members to all Affiliated LLCs; (iii) Within three (3) business days of the Affiliated Class A Members Notice, each Affiliated Class A Member shall notify the remaining Affiliated Class A Members and the Zhone Board whether the Affiliated Class A Member will or will not exercise its CYA Option. Failure by an Affiliated Class A Member to give that notification within such three (3) business day period will be deemed a notice of non-exercise of the Affiliated Class A Member's CYA Option. Each Affiliated Class A Member giving notice pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(iii) that it will exercise its CYA Option is referred to as a "CYA Person"; (iv) If an Affiliated Class A Member does not exercise its CYA Option, the CYA Persons shall have the right within fifteen (15) business days after the Affiliated Class A Member Notice to exercise the CYA Option of such Affiliated Class A Member pro rata based on their respective capital contribution commitments to an Affiliated LLC or as they may otherwise agree; (v) Exercise of the CYA Option of a CYA Person shall be by tender of the CYA Person within the fifteen (15) business day period described in Section 3.3(b)(iv) of the CYA Person's percentage, as determined pursuant to Sections 3.3(b)(ii) and/or (iv), (the "CYA Share") of the Delinquent Payment to Zhone, together with an agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Zhone Board and a Class B Majority, to assume such CYA Person's CYA Share of the entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Class A Member (net of the Delinquent Payment); (vi) If the aggregate of the tenders described in Section 3.3(b)(v) equals the Delinquent Payment and the aggregate of the assumptions described in Section 3.3(b)(v) equals the entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Class A Member (net of the Delinquent Payment), then: (A) Each CYA Person exercising its CYA Option shall be admitted to the Company as a Class A Member in place of the Delinquent Class A Member with respect to the product of: 11 (I) the percentage of which such CYA Person's CYA Share is of all CYA Person's Shares, and (II) the Delinquent's Interest; (B) the Capital Contribution Commitment of each CYA Person shall be the aggregate amount of its tender, assumption and CYA Share of the Delinquent Percent of the Delinquent Class A Member's Adjusted Unreturned Class A Member's Capital Contribution as of the Delinquency Date; and (C) the Delinquent Class A Member's share of the Delinquent's Interest shall be reduced to reflect the share of that Interest transferred to all CYA Persons under Section 3.3(b)(vi)(A); (D) At the direction of one or more of such CYA Persons, the Manager shall cause the Company to commence action against the Delinquent Class A Member pursuant to Section 10.13 to collect the entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Class A Member as of the Delinquency Date plus interest at the rate charged from time to time by the Bank of America for prime corporate borrowers plus two percent (but not in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law), plus the expenses of collection, including attorney's fees; and (E) All of the decision, direction and approval rights which the Delinquent Class A Member was entitled to exercise under this Agreement immediately before the Delinquency Date shall be exercised by CYA Persons acquiring a majority of the Series A Units transferred to the CYA Persons from the Delinquent Class A Member pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(vi)(A); (vii) Not withstanding the prior provisions of this Section 3.3(b), unless the aggregate of the tenders described in Section 3.3(b)(v) equals the Delinquent Payment and the aggregate of the assumptions described in Section 3.3(b)(v) equals the entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Class A Member (net of the Delinquent Payment), Section 3.3(c) shall apply and the prior provisions of this Section 3.3(b) shall not apply. (c) If pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(vii), this Section 3.3(c) applies then a Class B Majority may in its sole discretion, elect any of the following alternatives by notice to the Delinquent Class A Member and to Zhone within 120 days after the Delinquency Date: (i) To, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Sections 5.2 and 8.1, direct the Manager to cause the Company to distribute all of the Common Stock to the Class B Members (based on their Series B Common Units) in complete liquidation of the interests of the Class B Members in the Company; provided, however, that as to 50% of the Common Stock distributed to each Class B Member, the Member may not dispose of a greater percentage of such Stock as of any date (on a cumulative basis from the date of this Agreement) than the percentage of Zhone Preferred Stock as of such date on a cumulative basis from the date of this Agreement which has been disposed of by all Affiliated LLCs. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a distribution by an Affiliated LLC of Zhone Preferred Stock to any beneficial owner of that Affiliated LLC shall be treated as a disposition by that LLC. 12 Solely for purposes of this Section 3.3(c)(i), Zhone Investors FF LLC shall be treated as an Affiliated LLC and its Class A Members under its operating agreement shall be treated as Affiliated Class A Members. In the event a Class B Majority elects the alternative in this Section 3.3(c)(i), the Delinquent Class A Member shall indemnify and hold the Class B Members harmless from any liability under the Stock Purchase Agreement; (ii) To direct the Manager to cause the Company to commence an action against the Delinquent Class A Member pursuant to Section 10.13 to collect the entire unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Class A Member as of the Delinquency Date plus interest at the rate charged from time to time by the Bank of America for prime corporate borrowers plus two percent (but not in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law), plus the expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees; or (iii) To cause one or more designees of a Class B Majority to assume the entire unpaid balance of the Capital Contribution Commitment of the Delinquent Class A Member (in which event the Delinquent Class A Member shall not be permitted to make any further Capital Contributions to the Company) on such terms and conditions, as determined by a Class B Majority and the Zhone Board, including but limited to, amending this Agreement to admit such designee as a Special Class A Member and in any such amendment diluting and subordinating the priorities of the interest of the Delinquent Class A Member in Company Income and distributions (as reduced pursuant to Section 3.3(b)) to the interests of any or all of such designee and the Class B Members. (d) The alternatives in Sections 3.3(a), (b) and (c) are in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of Zhone, the Company, the Affiliated Class A Members and the Class B Members. Furthermore, if the Class A Member is Delinquent, thereafter notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, as to such Delinquent Class A Member: (i) "Adjusted Post Cover Date Shortfall" shall for all purposes of this Agreement be zero, (ii) "Basic Threshold Return" shall for all purposes of this Agreement be zero (iii) "Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall" shall for all purposes of this Agreement be zero, (iv) "Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall" shall for all purposes of this Agreement be zero, and (v) If Section 3.3(c) applies: (A) For all purposes of calculating the Adjusted Percentage Interest of the Members: (I) the Capital Contributions of the Delinquent Class A Member shall be deemed to be 25% of the amount of the actual Capital Contributions of the Class A Member as of the Delinquency Date, and 13 (II) the Company shall transfer to Zhone the Special Delinquent Percent of the Preferred Stock for $100. (B) All of the rights otherwise exercisable by the Delinquent Class A Member under Section 4.2 shall be exercised by a Class B Majority, and (C) Section 5.2(c) shall not apply. Section 3.4 Appropriateness of Remedies. To the extent any of the --------------------------- remedies available against a Delinquent Class A Member under Section 3.3 results or is deemed to result in the recovery of damages by the Company and/or the Class B Members, the Delinquent Class A Member agrees that the damage recovery is an appropriate amount of liquidated damages for the delinquency. The Members acknowledge that determining the actual damages now or at the time the Class A Member becomes Delinquent would be impossible, and the remedies in this Section represent a reasonable liquidated damage allowance for the failure by the Delinquent Class A Member to make a Capital Contribution when required. Section 3.5 No Interest; Return of Contributions. No Member shall be ------------------------------------ entitled to receive any interest on the Member's Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to receive the return of any Capital Contribution or withdraw from the Company, except upon the dissolution of the Company. Section 3.6 Capital Account. --------------- (a) The Company shall establish and maintain a separate account (the "Capital Account") for each Member. The initial balance of the Capital Account for each Member shall be such Member's initial Capital Contribution to the Company. The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) the dollar amount of any additional cash contributions made by such Member, (ii) the fair market value of any property (other than cash) contributed to the Company by such Member (net of liabilities to which such property is subject), and (iii) allocations to such Member of its share of Income. The Capital Account of each Member shall be decreased by (i) the dollar amount of any cash distributions made to such Member, (ii) the fair market value of any property distributed to such Member (net any liabilities to which such property is subject), and (iii) allocations to such Member of its share of Losses. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of paragraph (a) regarding the maintenance of Capital Accounts shall be construed so as to comply with the provisions of the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to section 704 of the Code. The Manager is hereby authorized with the approval of a Majority Interest to modify the foregoing provisions to the minimum extent necessary to comply with such Treasury Regulations. Section 3.7 Loans. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.6 ----- and with the prior approval of a Majority Interest, a Member may lend money to and transact other business with the Company; provided that the terms of such loan are no less favorable to the Company than those that could reasonably be obtained by the Company in an arms-length transaction negotiated with an unrelated third party. Any permitted loan to the Company made by a Member shall not entitle the lending 14 Member to any greater share of Company distributions or subject the lending Member to any greater proportionate allocation of Company Income or Losses. The amount of any such loan or advance shall be a debt owed by the Company to the lending Member on the terms agreed to by the Managers. Subject to other applicable law, such Member has the same rights and obligations with respect thereto as a Person who is not a Member. SECTION IV MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF THE COMPANY Section 4.1 Election of the Manager. The Company shall have one (1) ----------------------- Manager who shall be the Person identified in Section 1.39. Unless the Manager resigns or is removed, the Manager shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified as provided in Section 4.1(c).

The resignation of the Manager shall take effect upon receipt of that notice or at such later time as shall be specified in the notice. Unless otherwise specified in the notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The resignation of a Manager who is also a Member shall not affect the Manager's rights as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of a Member. (b) The Manager may be removed: (i) at any time, with or without cause, by notice from the Class A Member; (ii) by notice from a Class B Majority for failure of the Manager to take any action which a Class B Majority alone is entitled to direct the Manager to take under this Agreement, within two (2) days of such direction. In the event of any such failure, a Class B Majority shall, whether or not it gives such notice, have the authority to cause the Company to take the directed action. (c) Any vacancy occurring for any reason in the position of Manager shall be filled by the selection of a new Manager by the Class A Member provided that the Class A Member is not then Delinquent, in which case the new Manager shall be selected by a Class B Majority.

Such Class B Majority may not, however, without the consent of the Class A Member cause the Company to dispose of a greater percentage of Common Stock as of any date (on a cumulative basis from the date of this Agreement) than the percentage of the Preferred Stock as of such date on a cumulative basis from the date of this Agreement which has been disposed of by the Company as of such date. In no event, however, may such percentage of Common Stock exceed the percentage which the aggregate number of Series B Common Units which have then vested under one or more of the Zhone Class B Member Purchase Agreements between the Company and the Class B Members is of all Series B Common Units issued pursuant to all such Agreements. (ii) The Manager shall exercise the voting rights of the Securities held by the Company in accordance with the directions of the Class A Member or a Class B Majority, pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i) or Section 4.2(b)(ii) as applicable.

The Manager shall perform the Manager's managerial duties in good faith, in a manner the Manager reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. A Manager who so performs the duties of Manager shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been a Manager of the Company. Section 4.4 Devotion of Time.

(e) Allocation of Income and Losses and Distributions in Respect of a ----------------------------------------------------------------- Transferred Interest. If any Membership Interest is transferred, or is - -------------------- increased or decreased by reason of the admission of a new Member or otherwise, during any fiscal year, Income or Losses for such fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members by the Tax Matters Partner (as directed by a Majority Interest) using any method permitted under the Code. (f) Adjustment of Allocations. In the event the allocations set forth ------------------------- above are disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service, such allocations shall be deemed to be amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform with section 704 of the Code, while preserving the intent of the foregoing allocations to the maximum possible extent and by making such adjustments to the allocations as are necessary to allow distributions to be made in accordance with Section 5.2. 21 (g) Additional Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, ---------------------- upon the final dissolution and termination of the Company and after taking into account all allocations of Income and Losses (and other tax items) under this Section 5.1, the distributions to be made in accordance with the positive Capital Account balances would result in a distribution that would be different from the Distribution Hierarchy provided for under Section 5.2(a) below, then gross items of Income (and other tax items) for the taxable year of the final dissolution and termination (and, to the extent permitted under section 761(c) of the Code, gross items of Income (and other tax items) for the immediately preceding taxable year) shall be allocated to the Members to increase or decrease Capital Account balances, as the case may be, so that the final distribution will occur in under the Distribution Hierarchy provided for under Section 5.2(a) below. (h) Special Rule. Notwithstanding any other provision in Section ------------ 5.1, if Income or Loss arises in a taxable year different from the taxable year in which the associated cash arising from that sale is distributed under Section 5.2, the allocations of such Income and Loss under Section 5.1 shall, to the maximum extent possible, be made as if the associated distribution had occurred in the year the taxable Income or Loss arose, using the principles of Section 5.2 to determine the allocation of such hypothetical distribution. Section 5.2 Distributions by the Company. Subject to applicable law and ---------------------------- any limitations contained elsewhere in this Agreement, all available proceeds from the disposition of the Securities (including dividends, interest and sales proceeds) less reasonable reserves and reasonable costs of the disposition, all as determined by a Majority Interest, shall be distributed to the Members under one of the Distribution Hierarchies (the "Distribution Hierarchies") as follows: (a) Disposition of All Remaining Securities. If the disposition --------------------------------------- is of all of the Securities remaining in the Company, is pursuant to an event described in Section 8.1(e), or is not otherwise governed by any of Sections 5.2(b), (c) or (d), the proceeds shall be distributed in accordance with the following Distribution Hierarchy and priority: (i) First, to the Class A Member to the extent of the Adjusted Unreturned Class A Member's Capital Contribution, (ii) Second, to the Class A Member to the extent of the sum of: (A) The Basic Threshold Return attributable to the portion of the Class A Member's Capital Contribution (determined on a FIFO basis) attributable to all of the Preferred Stock (such portion to be determined consistently with Section 1.3(b)A) disposed of in such disposition; and (B) Any Adjusted Post Cover Date Shortfall as of the date of such disposition (first in payment of any Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Return included therein and then in payment of any Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall included therein), (iii) Third, 55% to the Class B Members as a group and 45% to the Class A Member until the Class B Members as a group have received total distributions pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(iii) equal to the Adjusted Percentage Interest of the Class B Members as a 22 group of all distributions to the Class A Member and the Class B Members as a group pursuant to Sections 5.2(a)(i) and (ii) and this Section 5.2(a)(iii), and (iv) The balance to the Class A Member and the Class B Members as a group based on the respective Adjusted Percentage Interests of the Class A Member and the Class B Members as a group. (b) Disposition of Preferred Stock Not Governed by Section 5.2(a). ------------------------------------------------------------- If the disposition is of any or all of the Preferred Stock (a "Preferred Stock Disposition" or "Disposition"), and the Disposition is not otherwise governed by Section 5.2(a), the proceeds of the disposition shall be distributed in accordance with the following Distribution Hierarchy and priority: (i) First, to the Class A Member to the extent of the Basic Threshold Return remaining unpaid as of the date of the Preferred Stock Disposition, (ii) Second, to the Class A Member to the extent of any of the Class A Member's Capital Contribution remaining unreturned as of the date of the Preferred Stock Disposition, and (iii) The balance to the Class A Member, except if any distributions have been made to the Class A Member under Section 5.2(d), such balance shall first be distributed to the Class B Members as a group until that group has received an aggregate amount under this Section 5.2(b)(iii) equal to the aggregate amount of such distributions to the Class A Member under Section 5.2(d). (c) Disposition of Common Stock Prior to the Cover Date and Not ----------------------------------------------------------- Governed by Section 5.2(a). If the disposition is of Common Stock prior to the - -------------------------- Cover Date and is not otherwise governed by Section 5.2(a), then the proceeds of such disposition shall be distributed to the Class B Members as a group; provided, however, that if such disposition of Common Stock occurs within 90 days of the date of a Preferred Stock Disposition and the Class A Member is not Delinquent, the proceeds of such disposition of Common Stock shall first be distributed to the Class A Member to the extent that any Basic Threshold Return and any of the Class A Member's Capital Contributions as of the date of the Preferred Stock Disposition remains unpaid and unreturned, as the case may be, after the proceeds of the Preferred Stock Disposition have been distributed in accordance with Sections 5.2(b)(i) and (ii). The distribution of proceeds to the Class A Member hereunder shall be made in accordance with the Distribution Hierarchy set forth in Section 5.2(b). (d) Disposition of Common Stock After the Cover Date and Not Governed ----------------------------------------------------------------- by Section 5.2(a). - ----------------- (i) If as a result of a Preferred Stock Disposition governed by Section 5.2(b) and occurring after the Cover Date, the Basic Threshold Return attributable to the portion of the Class A Member's Capital Contribution (determined on a FIFO basis) attributable to the Preferred Stock disposed of in such Disposition exceeds the amount distributed to the Class A Member from such Disposition under Section 5.2(b)(i), there shall be a "Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall." If the Class A Member's Capital Contributions (determined on 23 a FIFO basis) attributable to the Preferred Stock disposed of in such Disposition exceed the amount distributed to Class A Member from such Disposition under Section 5.2(b)(ii) there shall be a "Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall." (ii) In the event there is neither a Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall nor a Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall at the time of a disposition of Common Stock after the Cover Date and such disposition is not otherwise governed by Section 5.2(a), all proceeds of such disposition shall be distributed to the Class B Members as a group. (iii) In the event that there is either, or both, of a Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall or a Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall, the Class B Members as group shall have one year from the date of the Disposition creating any such Shortfall to as, chosen by a Class B Majority, either: (A) Cause the Company to dispose of sufficient Common Stock to be able to and to distribute to the Class A Member the sum of (I) the amount of any Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall arising from the Disposition (and a Basic Threshold Return shall continue to accrue on the amount of such Shortfall remaining unpaid as though it were a Capital Contribution from the Class A Member until that Shortfall is paid under this Section 5.2(d)) and (II) the amount of any Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall arising from the Disposition. Such distribution shall be treated as made first under (I) of this Subsection and then under (II) of this Subsection. (B) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(d)(iii)(A), if the Class B Members as a group would not receive from such Common Stock disposition and from all prior dispositions of any assets by the Company an aggregate amount equal to 10% of the cumulative amount of Income of the Company through the date of the disposition of the Common Stock, then the Class B Members as a group shall first receive from the proceeds of the Common Stock disposition otherwise distributable to the Class A Member under Section 5.2(d)(iii)(A) the amount necessary for the Class B Members as a group to have received that 10% amount. The balance of the proceeds from the disposition shall be distributed to the Class A Member first to pay the Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall and any balance remaining to cover the Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall; or (C) Cause the Company to distribute to the Class A Member Common Stock of sufficient value (using for the value of that Common Stock the average closing price for such stock during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the distribution) to pay the Class A Member (I) the amount of any Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall arising from the Disposition (and a Basic Threshold Return shall continue to accrue on the amount of such Shortfall remaining unpaid as though it were a Capital Contribution from the Class A Member until that Shortfall is paid under this Section 5.2(d)) and (II) any Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall arising from the Disposition. Such distribution shall be treated as made first under (I) of this Subsection and then under (II) of this Subsection. (D) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C), if the Class B Members as a group would not receive from a disposition of such Common Stock if it were 24 disposed of at the value determined under Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C) and from all prior dispositions of any assets by the Company an amount equal to 10% of the cumulative amount of Income through the date of the distribution of the Common Stock, then the Class B Members as a group shall first receive as a distribution from the Common Stock otherwise distributable to the Class A Member under Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C) (valued using the average price value set forth in Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C)) such amount of Common Stock as necessary for the Class B Members as a group to have received that 10% amount. The balance of that Common Stock otherwise distributable under Section 5.2(d)(iii)(C) shall be distributed to the Class A Member first to pay the Post Cover Date Basic Threshold Shortfall and any balance remaining to cover the Post Cover Date Capital Return Shortfall. (e) Notwithstanding Sections 5.2(a)-(d), in the event: (i) the net amount of U.S. federal income tax and state income tax required to be paid by a Class B Member, on the Income allocated to the Member (net of all Losses allocated to the Member hereunder and not previously offset by an allocation of Income hereunder), for any fiscal year of the Company, assuming the Class B Member were subject to the maximum individual U.S. federal and state income tax rates, using an assumed 10% state income tax rate on such Income and taking into account any deduction of state income taxes for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes, exceeds (ii) the cash distributed to the Class B Member pursuant to one or more of Sections 5.2(a)-(d) for such fiscal year or within 90 days following the close of such fiscal year, provided that to the extent that including cash distributed within such 90 day period prevents there from being an excess, such cash shall not again count for the fiscal year of distribution for purposes of determining whether there is an excess under this Section 5.2(e), (such excess being referred to as the "Class B Member's Tax Deficit"), then the Class B Member shall receive from Distributable Cash for such fiscal year or such later fiscal year when Distributable Cash becomes available, an amount equal to the Class B Member's Tax Deficit. Such distribution shall be made whether or not the Member is an individual and whether or not such income is subject to a different tax rate. Such distribution shall be taken into account in computing subsequent distributions to the Members under Sections 5.2(a)-(d). Accordingly, distributions to a Class B Member pursuant to this Section 5.2(e) shall be offset to the maximum extent possible each time out of the first subsequent distributions to which the Class B Member is otherwise entitled to under this Agreement until the amounts previously distributed to the Class Member under this Section 5.2(e) have been offset; provided that in the case of subsequent distributions not pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the Class B Member must retain sufficient cash from distributions under Section 5.2(b)(iii) and 5.2(d) to pay the Federal and state taxes attributable to the allocations related to such distributions, computed consistently with Section 5.2(e)(i). In the event that more than one Class B Member has a Tax Deficit and there is insufficient Distributable Cash for the relevant fiscal year to cover all Class B Members' Tax Deficits, distributions under this Section 5.2(e) shall be made among the Class B Members with Tax Deficits in proportion to their respective Tax Deficits. 25 (f) All distributions under this Section 5.2 shall be made only to the Persons who, according to the Company's books and records, are the holders of record of the Membership Interests in respect of which such distributions are made on the actual date of distribution. If a distribution to any Member is subject to withholding pursuant to the Code, or any other provision of federal, state or local law, the Company shall withhold all amounts otherwise distributable to such Member as are required by law and any amounts so withheld shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Member under this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.4, neither the Company nor the Manager shall incur any liability for making distributions in accordance with this Section 5.2. Section 5.3 Form of Distribution. Except as otherwise provided in this -------------------- Agreement, a Member, regardless of the nature of the Member's Capital Contribution, has no right to demand and receive any distribution from the Company other than pursuant to this Agreement. Section 5.4 Restriction on Distributions. ---------------------------- (a) No distribution shall be made if, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Company, other than liabilities of the Company to Members on account of their Membership Interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the Company, exceed the fair market value of the assets of the Company, except that the fair market value of the property that is subject to a liability for which the recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the assets of the Company only to the extent that the fair market value of that property exceeds that liability. (b) A Majority Interest may base a determination that a distribution is not prohibited on any of the following bases: (i) financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances; (ii) a fair valuation; or (iii) any other method that is reasonable in the circumstances. (c) Any Member or Assignee who receives a distribution in violation of Section 5.4(a) who knew at the time of the distribution that the distribution violated Section 5.4(a) shall be liable to the Company for the amount of the distribution. Section 5.5 Distributions in Kind. Any property distributed in kind by --------------------- the Company shall, subject to Section 8.1(e), be valued at fair market value in good faith by a Majority Interest and treated as though the property were disposed of for such value for all purposes of this Agreement. The difference between such value of the property distributed in kind and its book basis shall be treated as Income or Loss on the sale of the property and shall be credited or charged to the Members in proportion to their respective shares of Income and Losses pursuant to Section 5.1 as though actually recognized by the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. SECTION VI TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT OF INTERESTS Section 6.1 Restrictions on Transfer of Interests. In addition to other ------------------------------------- restrictions found in this Agreement, without the consent of a Majority Interest or as provided in 26 Section 3.3(c), no Member shall transfer, assign, convey, sell, encumber or in any way alienate all or any part of the Member's Membership Interest, except: (a) if the Member is an individual or is treated as an individual for federal income tax purposes as of the date of this Agreement (and for this purpose a husband and wife shall be treated as one individual), to such Member's immediate family or any custodian or trustee for the benefit of any or all of such Member and the Member's immediate family or upon such Member's death by testamentary disposition or intestacy, or (b) if the Member is not described in Section 6.1(a), to an Affiliate, provided that in the case of an Affiliate, the Member remains jointly and severally liable with such Affiliate for the performance of all of the transferring Member's obligations under this Agreement.

(iii) If, within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice, an Offeree does not notify the Preferred Selling Party that it desires to purchase its pro-rata share (or any part thereof) of the Offered Interest, those Offerees who have elected to purchase a part of the Offered Interest during the ten (10) day period (the "Over-allotment Purchasers") may elect to purchase the Offered Interest not so purchased. The Preferred Selling Party shall provide written notice to the Over-allotment Purchasers not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice 27 of the portion of the Offered Interest of the Preferred Selling Party available for purchase pursuant to this over-allotment right. Each of these Over-allotment Purchasers shall have until forty (40) days after receipt of the Notice to notify the Preferred Selling Party in writing that it elects to purchase at least its pro rata share or any part thereof of the remaining Offered Interest. Each Over-allotment Purchaser's pro rata share of the Offered Interest shall be the same percentage of the Offered Interest as such Over-allotment Purchaser's Capital Contribution Commitment to their respective Affiliated LLC bears to the Capital Contribution Commitments of all Over-allotment Purchasers to the Affiliated LLCs held by all Over-allotment Purchasers as of the date of the Notice. (iv) In the event the Offerees elect to acquire any of the Offered Interest, the Offerees and the Preferred Selling Party shall complete the sale and purchase within sixty (60) days after the Preferred Selling Party provides the Notice. The Offeree shall thereafter be treated as having made all prior Capital Contributions, allocated all items of Income and Loss and received all distributions attributable to the Offered Interest purchased by such Offeree. (v) If all of the Offered Interest is not elected to be purchased by the Offerees, the Preferred Selling Party may sell such Offered Interest not to be so purchased at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, provided that (i) such sale or transfer is consummated within one hundred fifty (150) days of the date of the Notice, and (ii) that prior to the transfer, the transferee of the Offered Interest agrees in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Majority Interest) that such transferee shall receive and hold the Offered Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (vi) The rights and obligations of the Offerees under this Section 6.1(c) shall terminate (and shall not apply to the transfer of any Membership Interest) upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (or a successor form) under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Company to the public (the "IPO"). (vii) The right of first refusal granted hereunder to the Offerees may be assigned to a transferee or assignee reasonably acceptable to the Company. Section 6.2 Effective Date of Permitted Transfers.

The admission of an Assignee as a substitute Member shall not result in the release of the Member 28 who assigned the Membership Interest from any liability that such Member may have to the Company. Section 6.4 Rights of Legal Representatives. If a Member who is an ------------------------------- individual dies or is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be incompetent to manage the Member's person or property, the Member's executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, or other legal representative may exercise all of the Member's rights for the purpose of settling the Member's estate or administering the Member's property, including any power the Member has under this Agreement to give an Assignee the right to become a Member.

Upon any ------------------------------------------------ transfer of a Membership Interest in violation of this Article VI, the transferee shall have no right to vote or participate in the management of the Company's business, property and affairs or to exercise any rights of a Member.
