Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.4 does not restrict any announcements by Operator, Service Provider or any Construction Manager (in each case, to the extent such Person is acting in such capacity) made in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement or the relevant Construction Agreement, as applicable.

(a)    The management of the Company is fully vested in the Members, acting exclusively in their Member capacities. To facilitate the orderly and efficient management of the Company, the Members shall act collectively as a “committee of the whole” which is hereby named the “Board.” Persons serving on the Board are referred to as “Managers” for convenience, but the Company shall not be governed by “managers,” as such term is used in the Act, it being understood that the Managers do not constitute “managers” as such term is used in the Act. Except for matters expressly set forth in this Agreement as requiring the consent or vote of the Members, each Member hereby (i) specifically delegates to the Board its rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 18-407 of the Act and (i) waives its right to bind the Company, as contemplated by the provisions of Section 18-402 of the Act. Except for any valid delegations of authority by the Board from time to time (including (A) pursuant to any Construction Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement or the Operating Agreement and (B) to Officers), the Board shall have full, exclusive and complete authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs and properties of the Company and all other acts or activities customary or incidental to the management of the Company and the Business. Decisions or actions taken by the Board in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute decisions or actions by the Company and shall be binding on each Member and the Managers of the Company. The Board shall have the power to delegate its authority and hereby does delegate such authority to Construction Managers, Service Provider and Operator, in each case as and to the extent expressly set forth in the relevant Construction Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement and the Operating Agreement, respectively. The Board also hereby delegates to the WTW Construction Management Committee the authority to consent to and approve Material Construction Contracts (excluding Affiliate Contracts) pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii)(B) and 3.1(b)(iii)(C) and the terms of the relevant Construction Agreement.
(b)    Any Person dealing with the Company, other than a Member or a Member’s Affiliate, may rely on the authority of the Board in taking any action in the name of the Company without inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance with it, regardless of whether such action actually is taken in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Board approval shall

10




not be required for any matters (i) that are expressly delegated to a Construction Manager pursuant to the relevant Construction Agreement or any other construction agreement entered into with respect to an Expansion or an Expansion Project, to Service Provider pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, to Operator pursuant to the Operating Agreement or Section 4.7(j), or to the WTW Construction Management Committee pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii)(B) and 3.1(b)(iii)(C) and the relevant Construction Agreement, or (i) that are otherwise expressly permitted to be undertaken by a Construction Manager pursuant to the relevant Construction Agreement or any other construction agreement entered into with respect to an Expansion or an Expansion Project, Service Provider pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement or Operator pursuant to the Operating Agreement without Board approval. All actions of a Member with respect to the Board shall be taken through those persons it designates to act on its behalf as a Manager. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or unless the Board has authorized such Manager to take such action, no Manager in his or her individual capacity shall have the authority to bind the Company, such powers being reserved to the Managers acting through the Board or retained by the Members. The Board may, by written consent, delegate additional matters to any Construction Manager, Operator or Service Provider (any such written consent, a “Delegation by Written Consent”). Any such Delegation by Written Consent shall specify the level of approval required in order for the Board to modify, change, revoke or otherwise alter such Delegation by Written Consent, and any such modification, change, revocation or alternation of such Delegation by Written Consent shall not be effective unless the required level of consent of the Board specified therein is obtained.
4.2    Compensation. The Managers shall not receive any compensation from the Company for their service hereunder on the Board or any committee thereof.
4.3    Board Composition; Initial Managers; Initial Alternate Managers.
(a)    The Board shall initially consist of six (6) natural persons serving as Managers. The number of Managers comprising the Board shall increase by one (1) natural person for each Other Member upon admission of each such Other Member to the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Member is in Default, the Board shall automatically decrease for voting purposes to the number of Managers appointed by the Members that are not in Default. Each Member and each Other Member (upon admission to the Company) shall be entitled to appoint one (1) Manager to the Board. The initial Managers and the initial Alternate Managers (as defined below) as of the Effective Date are set forth in Schedule 4.3. Each Manager appointed to the Board shall serve until his or her successor is duly appointed or until his or her earlier death, removal or resignation in accordance with this Article IV.
(b)    Each Member shall have the right to designate one (1) person to serve as a replacement for its Manager at any Board meeting at which any such Manager is unable to attend (each an “Alternate Manager”). The term “Manager” shall also refer to any Alternate Manager that is actually performing the duties of the applicable Manager in lieu of that Manager. The act of an Alternate Manager shall be deemed the act of the Manager for which such Alternate Manager is acting without the need to produce evidence of the absence or unavailability of such Manager, and when an applicable Alternate Manager is acting in the place of an applicable Manager, such Alternate

11




Manager shall have all rights and authority of the Manager for whom such Alternate Manager is acting.
(c)    Each Manager shall have the full authority to act on behalf of the Member that designated such Manager, and all Members and the Company shall be bound by all actions taken by the Board in accordance with this Agreement.
4.4    Removal; Resignation and Replacement of Managers. Each Member shall have the right to remove its Manager or Alternate Manager at any time, for any reason or no reason, effective upon written notice to all other Members. A Manager, including any Alternate Manager, may resign at any time for any reason or no reason by giving written notice to the Board. Should any Manager, including any Alternate Manager, be unwilling or unable to continue to serve, or otherwise cease to serve (including by resignation or reason of his or her involuntary removal), then only the Member that appointed such Manager shall be entitled to fill the resulting vacancy on the Board, and such replacement Manager shall be effective upon written notice to all other Members.
4.5    Meetings of the Board.
(a)    General. The Board shall meet at least twice in each calendar year, with one meeting between January and June and a second meeting between July and December. Additional meetings of the Board shall be held at the request of any Manager representing Member(s) holding Membership Interests representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Members.
(b)    Notice of Board Meetings. Written notice of the time and place of all meetings of the Board must be given to all Managers and Alternate Managers at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto. Special meetings of the Board to deal with Emergencies may be called by providing at least six (6) hours’ notice prior to the meeting to all Managers and Alternate Managers. Any such notice, or waiver thereof, need not state the business to be transacted at or the purpose of such meeting except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Any Manager (or Alternate Manager, as applicable) may waive notice of any meeting by the execution of a written waiver prior to, at or subsequent to such meeting. The attendance of a Manager (or Alternate Manager, as applicable) at a meeting (including pursuant to Section 4.5(d)) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such Manager (or Alternate Manager, as applicable) attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Notice of any meeting of the Board must be given in accordance with Section 12.2.
(c)    Chairman. The Manager appointed by the Member that is (or is an Affiliate of) Service Provider or Operator (as applicable) shall preside as the chairman at all meetings of the Board. Such Manager or its designee shall act as the secretary of the meeting and shall make a written record of the proceedings thereof which shall be provided to the other Managers promptly after the meeting.
(d)    Telephonic Conference. Managers may participate in and hold a meeting of the Board by means of conference telephone, videoconference equipment or similar communications

12




equipment by which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such manner in any such meeting constitutes presence in person at such meeting, except where a Manager participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
(e)    Manager Authority. Each Manager shall have the full authority to act on behalf of the Member that appointed such Manager, and all actions and decisions taken by the Board in accordance with this Agreement, whether at a meeting or through a written consent in lieu of a meeting, shall be binding on all Members and the Company, and the Members other than the Member that appointed such Manager shall be entitled to rely upon all actions and decisions of such Manager without further inquiry or investigation as to the actual authority (or lack thereof) of any Manager.
(f)    Quorum; Voting Thresholds.
(i)    Quorum. The attendance of Manager(s) at a meeting appointed by Member(s) holding at least the minimum number of Percentage Interests entitled to vote on or approve the applicable action or decision to be voted on or consented to at such meeting shall constitute a quorum of the Board for the transaction of business with respect to such action or decision.
(ii)    Voting Thresholds.
(A)    All matters and decisions designated in this Agreement to be voted on or approved by the Board shall be voted on or approved by Majority Consent of the Board unless such decision is specifically designated in this Agreement as requiring [_______].
(B)    For purposes of determining whether the Board voting thresholds referenced in this Agreement have been satisfied, the vote of the Manager (or Alternate Manager, as applicable) appointed by the relevant Member shall, subject to Sections 4.3(a) and 4.12(b), be equal, in the aggregate, to the Percentage Interest (at the time of such vote) of the Member who appointed such Manager. Specifically, subject to Sections 4.3(a) and 4.12(b), the Manager appointed by the relevant Member shall be entitled to one vote for each whole Percentage Interest held by the Member that appointed such Manager and to the applicable fraction of a vote for the portion of any Percentage Interest which is less than one (1) whole percent and is held by the Member that appointed such Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate voting percentage that each Member is entitled to shall be equal to such Member’s Percentage Interest.
(g)    Action by Managers without a Meeting. Any action which may be voted on or approved by the Board at a duly called and convened meeting of the Board may be voted on or approved without notice and without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action to be taken is (i) contemporaneously circulated to all Managers and (ii) executed by the Manager(s) appointed by Member(s) holding at least a minimum number of Percentage Interests required in order to vote on or approve such action at a duly called and convened meeting of the Board. Any

13




matter or decision voted on or consented to by written consent of the Board in lieu of a meeting of the Board may be voted or consented to by electronic communication (including electronic mail) and voting or consenting in such manner constitutes an original, executed vote or consent on the applicable decision or matter. The resolutions, written consents or electronic communications of the members of the Board shall be filed with the minutes of the proceeding of the Board. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.
(h)    Proxies. A Manager may vote at any meeting of the Board by executed proxy delivered to any Manager. A proxy shall be revocable unless it states otherwise, and attendance of the appointing Manager at such meeting shall be deemed to revoke any proxy with respect to matters to be voted on or approved at such meeting. Alternate Managers may attend all Board meetings even if the Manager for which they are serving as the alternate attends the meeting.

Subject to Section 4.15 (if applicable), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take, and, none of Construction Managers, Service Provider, Operator or Executive Committee Representative shall be permitted under the relevant Construction Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement, the Operating Agreement or the JOA, respectively, to cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any of the following actions, or to vote under the JOA to take any of the following actions, without having obtained the Supermajority Consent of the Board:

(ii)    Each Non-Defaulting Member shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such Payment Default to deliver written notice to the Members of its exercise of the Call Option (each a “Call Notice”). If more than one Non-Defaulting Member exercises the Call Option, each exercising Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right to buy its pro rata share of the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interests (based on the relative Percentage Interests of the exercising Non-Defaulting Members (or in such other proportions as the Non-Defaulting Members may agree)). If any Non-Defaulting Member does not exercise the Call Option within such thirty (30) day period, the Call Option with respect to such Default shall be irrevocably waived by such Member.

It is expressly understood and agreed that if any particular Board, Manager or Member consent or approval is required hereunder for the Company to take any action or make any determination or decision, then no such action, determination or decision may be taken or made by any Subsidiary without the same Board, Manager or Member consent or approval, as the case may be.
4.6    Officers.
(a)    The Board may, from time to time, designate by Supermajority Consent of the Board categories of officers of the Company and the associated authority delegated to each such category (any such approved category, an “Approved Officer Position”).

Subject to this Section 4.14(b) and the other provisions in Article IV of this Agreement, any Officers so designated shall have such authority to perform such duties as the Board has or may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Officers appointed by the Board shall report to the Board as requested from time to time. The Board shall assign the title applicable to the relevant Approved Officer Position to each Officer. The assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authority and duties specified for such Approved Officer Position by the Board, which duties shall in any event not include any actions reserved to the Board under Section 4.6, Section 4.7, Section 4.8 or Section 4.9 without approval by the Board for such specified matters in accordance with Section 4.6, Section 4.7, Section 4.8 or Section 4.9. Each Officer shall hold office until his or her successor is duly designated and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal in the manner provided herein. Any number of Approved Officer Positions may be held by the same person. Any Officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by any member of the Board. Any Officer may be removed at any time, either with or without cause, by the Board. If an Officer resigns or is removed, the Board shall designate a replacement for such Officer, who shall be appointed to fill the relevant Approved Officer Position.

Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Company by such Member pursuant to this Agreement, (i) Profits and other items of Company income and gain allocated with respect to such Member pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b), and (i) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or that are secured by any Company property distributed to such Member, and decreased by (A) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of property distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, (A) Losses and other items of Company deduction and loss allocated to such Member pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) and (A) the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or that are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company (in the case of clauses (iii) and (C), without duplication of liabilities accounted for in the determination of Net Agreed Value of any property contributed by or distributed to such Member). The provisions in this Section 9.1(a) are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulation. Solely for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes (including for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts for the Members in accordance with this Section 9.1(a)), Delek shall be deemed to have been distributed an amount of cash equal to any imputed interest income allocated to Delek under Section 9.2(b)(ix), as and when such allocations are made.
(b)    A Transferee shall succeed to the pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the Transferring Member relating to the Membership Interest so Transferred. Except as otherwise provided herein, all items of income, gain, expense, loss, deduction, and credit allocable to any Membership Interest that may have been transferred during any calendar year shall, if permitted by Law, be allocated between the transferor and the transferee based on the portion of the calendar year during which each was recognized as owning that Membership Interest, based upon the interim closing of the books method; provided, however, that this allocation must be made in accordance with a method permissible under section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder
1.2    Allocations for Capital Account Purposes.
(a)    Allocations of Profits and Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 9.2(b), Profits and Losses (and to the extent determined necessary and appropriate by the Board to achieve the resulting Capital Account balances described below, any allocable items of gross income, gain, loss and expense includable in the computation of Profits and Losses) for each Allocation Period of the Company (including the Allocation Period in which the dissolution or liquidation the Company occurs) shall be allocated among the Members during such Allocation Period, in such a manner as shall cause the Capital Accounts of the Members (as adjusted to reflect all allocations under Section 9.2(b) and all distributions of Available Cash and Special Available Cash, as applicable, through the end of such Allocation Period) to equal, as nearly as possible, (i) the amount such Members would receive if all assets of the Company on hand at the end of such Allocation Period were sold for cash equal to their Carrying Values, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited in the case of non-recourse liabilities to the Carrying Value of the property securing such liabilities) and all remaining or resulting cash were distributed to the Members under Sections 9.4(a) (as modified by clause (F) of Schedule 3.1(a),

30




if applicable), 9.4(b) and 9.4(c), minus (b) such Member’s share of Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets, and the amount any such Member is treated as obligated to contribute to the Company, computed immediately after the hypothetical sale of assets. In applying the foregoing, Profits and Losses (and items includable therein) attributable to any Special Expansion Project shall, to the maximum extent possible and without altering the aggregate amounts of Profits and Losses otherwise allocable to the Members under this Section 9.2(a), be allocated among the Members in a manner that takes into account each Member’s economic interest with respect to such Special Expansion Project, including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Member’s obligation to make Special Expansion Project Contributions, and such Member’s entitlement to distributions of Special Available Cash, with respect to such Special Expansion Project.
(b)    Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.2, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order and priority:
(i)    Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.2, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company Allocation Period, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 9.2(b)(i), each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) with respect to such Allocation Period (other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 9.2(b)(v) and 9.2(b)(vi)). This Section 9.2(b)(i) is intended to comply with the Company Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(ii)    Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.2 (other than Section 9.2(b)(i)), except as provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Allocation Period, any Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such Allocation Period shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 9.2(b)(ii), each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), other than Section 9.2(b)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 9.2(b)(v) and 9.2(b)(vi), with respect to such Allocation Period. This Section 9.2(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

31




(iii)    Stop-Loss. Losses or other items of loss and expense shall not be allocated to any Member to the extent such allocation would cause such Member to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account) at the end of such Allocation Period, and any remaining Losses and other items of loss and expense shall be allocated among Members having a positive balance in their respective Adjusted Capital Account in proportion to their relative positive Adjusted Capital Accounts but only to the extent that such Losses and other items of loss and expense do not cause any such Member to have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account.
(iv)    Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided in this Article IX have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.2(b)(iv) were not a part of this Agreement. This Section 9.2(b)(iv) is intended to be a “qualified income offset” as that term is used in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(v)    Gross Income Allocations. In the event a Member has a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Allocation Period, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(v) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided in this Article IX have been tentatively made as if Section 9.2(b)(iv) and this Section 9.2(b)(v) were not a part of this Agreement.
(vi)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Period shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to the Member that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to such Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, such Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.
(vii)    Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members as determined by the Board, to the extent permitted by the Treasury Regulations.
(viii)    Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required,

32




pursuant to Treasury Regulation 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 item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Treasury Regulations.
(ix)    Special Interest Allocation. [_______]
(c)    Noncompensatory Option Exercise. If a Noncompensatory Option to acquire an interest in the Company is exercised, (i) the Carrying Value of the Company’s property shall be adjusted in accordance with clause(b)(iv) of the definition of Carrying Value, and the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain (if the adjustment increases the Carrying Value of the Company property) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the Carrying Value of the Company property) from the disposition of such property, (i) such gain or loss shall be allocated first to the Member exercising such Noncompensatory Option (the “NCO Exercising Member”) as and to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(2), (i) any gain or loss remaining after the allocation to the NCO Exercising Member pursuant to clause (ii), above (the “NCO Excess Gain or Loss”), shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b), as applicable, and (i) if, after making the allocation described in clause (ii), above, the NCO Exercising Member’s Capital Account does not reflect the NCO Exercising Member’s right to share in partnership capital, the Company shall reallocate partnership capital between the other Members and the NCO Exercising Member as and to the extent required under Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3).
1.3    Allocations for Tax Purposes.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 9.2.
(b)    In accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (including the Treasury Regulations applying the principles of Code Section 704(c) to changes in Carrying Values), income, gain, deduction and loss with respect to any Company property having a Carrying Value that differs from such property’s adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members in order to account for any such difference using the “remedial method” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) unless otherwise determined by Unanimous Consent of the Board.
(c)    Any gain allocated to the Members upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Company asset shall be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and the same extent as such Members (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.
(d)    All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions

33




hereof shall be determined without regard to the election under section 754 of the Code that will be made by the Company; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in any manner determined by the Board) as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by sections 734 and 743 of the Code.
(e)    If, as a result of an exercise of a Noncompensatory Option to acquire an interest in the Company, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(4) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).
1.4    Distributions.
(a)    Distributions of Available Cash. For each calendar month commencing after the In Service Date, the Board shall cause the Company to distribute an amount of cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Available Cash for such calendar month to the Members in accordance with the Members’ respective Percentage Interests; provided that the rights to receive distributions from the Company of any Member who is, or whose Affiliate is, in payment default under any Transportation Agreement will be suspended, and such Member shall not be entitled to any such distributions until such payment default is cured.
(b)    Distributions of Special Available Cash.
(i)    At all times prior to 300% Payout with respect to a Special Expansion Project, Special Available Cash attributable to such Special Expansion Project shall be distributed to the Participating Members on a monthly basis in accordance with their respective Special Percentage Interests for such Special Expansion Project; and
(ii)    From and after 300% Payout with respect to such Special Expansion Project, Special Available Cash shall be treated as Available Cash in accordance with Section 3.2(e)(v) and distributed pursuant to Section 9.4(a).
(c)    Set-off. In addition to the rights set forth in Section 7.6, Company shall suspend, and may set-off against any amounts owed or due and payable as remedies for the relevant event of Default or Cross-Default, any distributions of Available Cash (and, to the extent that the relevant event of Default or Cross-Default is with respect to a Special Expansion Project, any distributions of Special Available Cash with respect to such Special Expansion Project) to which a Member who at the relevant time is in Default or Cross-Default is entitled. Following the cure of the relevant event of Default or Cross-Default, the Company shall distribute an amount equal to the balance of any such suspended distributions of Available Cash or Special Available Cash to the relevant Member with the subsequent monthly distribution of Available Cash or Special Available Cash, as applicable.
(d)    The Act. All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to restrictions set forth in the Act, as applicable.
(e)    Dissolution Event. Notwithstanding Sections 9.4(a) and 9.4(b), in the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Company, all receipts received during or after the month in which

34




the Dissolution Event occurs shall be applied and distributed solely in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 11.2.
Article II    
TAX MATTERS
2.1    Tax Status. It is the intention of the Members that the Company be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes to the extent allowable by applicable Tax Law, by election or otherwise. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such treatment, and subchapter K of the Code shall apply to all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Member shall make an election for the Company to be excluded from the application of the provisions of subchapter K of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code or any similar provisions of applicable state Law or to be classified as other than a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation section ###-###-####-3.
2.2    Tax Elections. The Company shall make the following elections on the appropriate forms or tax returns:
(a)    to use the calendar year as the Fiscal Year of the Company;
(b)    to adopt the accrual method of accounting;
(c)    an election pursuant to Code Section 754 on the initial federal Form 1065 filed by the Company;
(d)    to elect to ratably accrue real property taxes of the Company as permitted by Code Section 461(c);
(e)    to elect to amortize the organizational expenses of the Company and the start-up expenditures of the Company ratably over a period of one hundred eighty (180) months as permitted by Code Section 709(b) and Code Section 195;
(f)    to elect to take any “bonus depreciation” under Code Section 168(k) (or other applicable provisions of the Code) for all applicable property unless otherwise determined by Unanimous Consent of the Board; provided, however, that the Company will, to the extent allowed under applicable Law, make an election not to take “bonus depreciation,” pursuant to Code Section 168(k)(7) and Proposed Treasury Regulation sections 1.168(k)-2(e)(1) and 1.743-1(j)(4)(i)(B)(1) (or any corresponding provisions of any succeeding proposed, amended or final Treasury Regulations), with respect to any Code Section 743(b) basis adjustment in Company assets attributable to any transaction involving any 743 Elect-out Member (each such Code Section 743(b) basis adjustment, a “Related Adjustment,” and each such election not to take bonus depreciation, a “743 Election Out”), unless such Member provides the Company with written instructions not to make such 743 Election Out, provided that if any such 743 Election Out would prevent “bonus depreciation” from being taken with respect to any other Code Section 743(b) basis adjustment (each such other Code Section 743(b) basis adjustment, a “Non-Related Adjustment”) or other Company property, such 743 Election Out will not be made unless approved in writing by each

35




Member that engaged in a Transfer that resulted in such Non-Related Adjustment or would otherwise be allocated bonus depreciation on other Company property but for such 743 Election Out; and
(g)    any other election that the Board by Supermajority Consent of the Board as set forth in Section 4.6 may deem appropriate and in the best interests of the Company.
2.3    Partnership Representative. So long as Exxon or its Affiliate is Service Provider or Operator, as applicable, Exxon is hereby designated as the “Partnership Representative” within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code, and shall have all the powers and responsibilities of such position as provided in the Code; otherwise the Partnership Representative shall be the Member that is (or is an Affiliate of) Service Provider, Operator or such other Person selected by the Board. The Partnership Representative shall inform each Member of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as Partnership Representative by giving notice thereof on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to the other Members copies of all significant written communications it may receive in that capacity. The Partnership Representative shall provide each Member, upon request, access to all accounting and tax information, workpapers and schedules related to the Company. The Partnership Representative is authorized to and shall represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s affairs by any federal, state, or local tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings (each a “Tax Audit”), and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith; provided, however, that the Partnership Representative shall not take any non-administrative actions or actions expected to result in payments by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or payments by any Member, in excess of $[_______] in connection with a Tax Audit (other than a Push-Out Election or determination not to make a Push-Out Election) without the prior Supermajority Consent of the Board as set forth in Section 4.6.
2.4    Tax Returns; Tax Statements and Information.
(a)    Tax Returns. The Partnership Representative shall cause, at the expense of the Company, the preparation and timely filing (including extensions) of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Code as well as all other required tax returns in each jurisdiction in which the Company is required to file tax returns. The Partnership Representative shall provide the other Members an opportunity to review and comment upon any federal income tax return prior to filing such tax returns.
(b)    Tax Statements and Information. On or before the last day of August during the existence of the Company, Service Provider or Operator, as applicable, shall cause each Member to be furnished with all information reasonably necessary or appropriate to file its respective tax reports, including its Schedule K-1, apportionment schedules and a schedule of Company book-tax differences for the immediately preceding tax year. In addition, Service Provider or Operator, as applicable, will cause each Member to be provided with estimates of its capital additions (including tax depreciation life and method for such additions) and retirements through December 31 of each year and a trial balance and balance sheet as of December 31 of each year on or before February 1 of the following year and estimates of all other information reasonably necessary or appropriate to file their respective Tax reports, including information relating to the Member’s Schedule K-1 and

36




apportionment schedules for each year on or before the fifth (5th) day of February of the following year.
2.5    Partnership Tax Audit Matters.
(a)    Push-Out Election. To the maximum extent possible under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, the Partnership Representative shall make a Push-Out Election; provided, however, the Partnership Representative shall not make such an election if it is determined by Unanimous Consent of the Board as set forth in Section 4.9 that such election is not in the best interests of the Company or any of the Members, as applicable. In connection with such election, each Member (including transferees or successors of any Member) covenants and agrees that it shall (1) pay any and all resulting taxes, additions to tax, penalties and interest in a timely fashion and (1) cooperate with the Company and the Partnership Representative in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is required to pay any tax, addition to tax, penalty, or interest following a Push-Out Election because any portion of the applicable Covered Audit Adjustment would otherwise be subject to withholding by the Company under Chapters 3 or 4 of Subtitle A of the Code, any such amounts shall be considered Company Level Taxes with respect to the applicable Members subject to the provisions of Section 10.6.
(b)    Modifications. To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make a Push-Out Election with respect to a Covered Audit Adjustment, the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make Imputed Underpayment Modifications (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received all requisite information on a timely basis from the Members), and each Member shall, as requested by the Partnership Representative, take such actions as may be necessary or prudent for the Partnership Representative to seek an Imputed Underpayment Modification. The Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to each Member information allowing such Member to file an amended federal income tax return or to follow an alternative procedure to filing an amended federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent that such amended return or alternative procedure and payment of any related taxes, additions to tax, penalties, and interest would reduce any Company Level Taxes attributable to the Covered Audit Adjustment.
(c)    Cooperation. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Partnership Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative in connection with any Tax Audit.
2.6    Withholding and Other Tax Payments by the Company.
(a)    General Provisions. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries may withhold from distributions, allocations or portions thereof if it is required to do so by any applicable rule, regulation or law, and each Member hereby authorizes the Company and its Subsidiaries to withhold or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of U.S. federal, state, provincial, local or foreign taxes that the Partnership Representative determines, in good faith, that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that any tax is paid by (or withheld from amounts payable to) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Partnership

37




Representative determines, in good faith, that such tax (including any Company Level Tax) relates to one or more specific Members, such tax shall be treated as an amount of taxes withheld or paid with respect to such Member pursuant to this Section 10.6(a); provided, however, that if a Member reasonably objects to the manner of any such allocation and such Member and the Partnership Representative are unable to agree upon such allocation, any unresolved matters shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 12.1. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 10.6(a), the payment by the Company of Company Level Taxes shall, consistent with the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, be treated as the payment of a Company obligation and shall be treated as paid with respect to a Member to the extent the deduction with respect to such payment is allocated to such Member pursuant to the Partnership Audit Rules, and such payment shall not be treated as a withholding from distributions, allocations, or portions thereof with respect to a Member.
(b)    Tax Treatment of Withholding and Other Tax Payments by the Company.
(i)    For all purposes under this Agreement, any amounts withheld or paid with respect to a Member pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall offset any distributions to which such Member is entitled concurrently with such withholding or payment and shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member pursuant to Sections 9.4(a), 9.4(b) and 11.2, as applicable, at the time such offset is made. To the extent that the cumulative amount of such withholding or payment exceeds the distributions to which such Member is entitled concurrently with such withholding or payment, the amount of such excess shall be considered a loan from the Company to such Member, with interest accruing at the applicable underpayment rate for such period, as specified in Section 6621 of the Code, or, at the request of the Board, the amount of such excess shall be promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such withholding or payment is required to be made; provided, however, that any such payment shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution and shall not reduce the amount that a Member is otherwise obligated to contribute to the Company. Any such loan shall be satisfied out of distributions to which such Member would otherwise be subsequently entitled (and to the extent satisfied out of such distributions, such amounts shall be treated as distributed to such Member pursuant to Sections 9.4(a), 9.4(b) and 11.2, as applicable, at the time of such satisfaction) until such loan becomes due and payable in full, which shall occur upon such time as the Board (with the consent of Managers appointed by the Members other than the Member to whom a loan is deemed to have been made pursuant to this Section 10.6(b)(i)) requests that the Member pay such amount to the Company.
(ii)    Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other Members, the Partnership Representative and the Board from and against any liability (including any liability for Company Level Taxes) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member.
(c)    Continued Obligations of Former Members. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person who ceases to be a Member shall be deemed to be a Member for purposes of this Section 10.6, and the obligations of a Member pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall survive indefinitely with respect to

38




any taxes withheld or paid by the Company or a Subsidiary that relate to the period during which such Person was actually a Member, regardless of whether such taxes are assessed, withheld or otherwise paid during such period.
2.7    Tax Sharing. If the Company is treated as a member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group for Tax purposes with any Member or an Affiliate thereof (a “Member Consolidated Group”), such Member (the “Reporting Member”) shall cause one of the members of such Member Consolidated Group other than the Company to be the reporting or parent entity for any tax return of such Member Consolidated Group and pay the Tax liability due with respect to such Member Consolidated Group. The Members agree that the Company shall promptly reimburse the Reporting Member for any Applicable Tax (as defined below) paid by or on behalf of the Reporting Member or any other member of such Member Consolidated Group; provided, however, that the Members agree that (i) any such Applicable Tax shall be considered as paid on behalf of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) except as provided in clause (iii), below, the Company shall deduct for U.S. federal income tax purposes one hundred percent (100%) of the Applicable Tax and (i) in the event that it is determined, pursuant to a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code, that all or a portion of such deduction may be properly claimed by the Reporting Member, its Affiliate or any other member of the Member Consolidated Group, the Company shall reimburse the Reporting Member only for the after-tax cost of such payment of Applicable Tax. With respect to any Tax of a Member Consolidated Group of which the Company is a member, the “Applicable Tax” shall be equal to the Tax of the Member Consolidated Group that the Company would have paid if it had computed its Tax liability for the applicable period on a separate entity basis (rather than as a member of the Member Consolidated Group). Except as provided in this Section 10.7 with respect to the amount of such Member Consolidated Group’s Tax that the Company is required to reimburse the Reporting Member, the Reporting Member shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all Taxes of the Member Consolidated Group.
2.8    Tax Indemnity.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, as a result of a Tax Audit, any Member other than Exxon (each, a “Non-Exxon Member”) is effectively required to include in its income (or such Non-Exxon Member’s direct or indirect owners taxed on a flow-through basis are effectively required to include in their income) for the reviewed year of the Company (as defined in Code Section 6225(d)(1)) or any tax year following the reviewed year, an amount of remedial income in excess of any corresponding remedial deduction for such tax year (such excess, the “Net Remedial Amount”) under Code Section 704(c) to the extent such inclusion is attributable to the transaction described in Section 8.3, Exxon hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Non-Exxon Member from and against any losses attributable to such income inclusion (as determined for each such tax year pursuant to Sections 10.8(b) and 10.8(c), an “Tax Allocation Claim”).
(b)    Prior to the application of Section 10.8(c), the amount of each Non-Exxon Member’s Tax Allocation Claim shall be equal to:
(i)    the Net Remedial Amount of such Non-Exxon Member for the applicable tax year multiplied by a tax rate equal to 38%, plus

39




(ii)    underpayment interest on the amount determined in clause (i) computed at the applicable underpayment rate as determined under Code Section 6621(a)(2), minus
(iii)    the present value of the reasonably anticipated future tax reduction attributable to such Net Remedial Amount, assuming: (x) a discount rate of 6% per annum, (y) a tax rate equal to 38%, and (z) that, absent such Tax Audit, such Non-Exxon Member would have recognized such reasonably anticipated future tax reduction in 2034.
(c)    With respect to each Tax Allocation Claim of a Non-Exxon Member, Exxon shall be required to pay an amount to such Non-Exxon Member equal to the quotient of (A) the amount of such Tax Allocation Claim determined under Section 10.8(b), divided by (B) 62%.
Article III    
DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP AND TERMINATION
3.1    Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following events (each, a “Dissolution Event”):
(a)    The occurrence of the latest date on which the limited liability company is to dissolve set forth in the Company’s Certificate, if any such date is so specified;
(b)    the Unanimous Consent of the Board;
(c)    at any time there are no Members; or
(d)    the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Act.
3.2    Winding-Up and Termination. On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, Service Provider or Operator, as applicable, shall act as the liquidator and the winding up of the Company shall occur in accordance with the following:
(a)    The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company, including (i) causing an accounting to be made of the Company’s assets and liabilities, (i) causing any notices or filings required to be given or made under applicable Law to be so given or made and (i) selling the Company’s assets for the best price reasonably available (and if the assets are not able to be sold, the assets may be distributed in kind to the Members). Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Act, the liquidator shall distribute the Company’s assets in the following order: (A) first, pay, satisfy or discharge from Company assets all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, including debts and liabilities to creditors that are Members (to the extent permitted by Law) and all expenses incurred in liquidation or otherwise make adequate provision for payment, satisfaction and discharge thereof, to the extent of the Company’s assets, (A) second, make final distributions to the Members in accordance with the positive Capital Account balance of each Member, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments (other than those made by reason of distribution pursuant to this Section 11.2(a)) for the Allocation Period during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (with such date of occurrence being

40




determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), and such distribution shall be made by the end of such Allocation Period (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after said date of such occurrence), subject to this Article XI and the Act. The costs of winding up shall be borne as a Company expense. Until the certificate of cancellation is issued by the Delaware Secretary of State, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of Service Provider or Operator, as applicable, and the other Members.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but without limiting clause (B) of Section 11.2(a), to the extent that the liquidator makes any final distributions of the assets of any Special Expansion Project in kind to the Members, the liquidator shall, to the maximum extent possible, make such in-kind distributions to the Members in a manner that is consistent with each Member’s economic interest with respect to such Special Expansion Project (as determined pursuant to Section 9.4(b)).
(c)    All distributions in kind to the Members shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for costs, expenses and liabilities theretofore incurred or for the payment of which the Company has committed prior to the date of termination.
(d)    The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall constitute a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its share of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act.
(e)    After the dissolution of the Company, the liquidator shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. Upon the filing of such certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall terminate, except as may be otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.
3.3    No Deficit Restoration Obligation. No Member shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of the Company.
Article IV    
MISCELLANEOUS

(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the choice of Law principles thereof.
(b)    Each Member hereto irrevocably and unconditionally, for itself and its property, submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in Houston, Texas in any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all Claims in respect of such Dispute may be heard and determined in such court. Each Member hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient

41




forum to the maintenance of any Action with respect to such Dispute in any of the foregoing courts. The Members further agree, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that a final, non-appealable judgment against any of them in any Action with respect to any Dispute shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment.
(c)    To the extent that any Member has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each Member hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement.
(d)    EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR ACTION OF ANY OTHER PARTY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

4.3    Inuring Clause. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Members and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
4.4    Assignment. Except as provided in Article VIII, none of the rights, privileges or obligations set forth in, arising under or created by this Agreement may be assigned or transferred without the prior consent of the Board.
4.5    Waiver of Partition of Company Property. Each Member hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any right to bring (or maintain) any Action for partition with respect to any of the Company’s assets or properties (including the Facility).
4.6    Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all amendments to this Agreement must be in writing, approved by the Board and executed by all Members other than a Defaulting Member; provided, however, that any amendment that would adversely and disproportionately (relative to the other Members) affect in any material respect any Defaulting Member’s rights under this Agreement must be executed by such Defaulting Member.
4.7    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each one of which counterparts constitutes an original, and all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. A signature delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including electronic mail) will be considered an original signature. Any Person may rely on a copy or reproduction of this Agreement, and an original will be made available upon a reasonable request.
4.8    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Members with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations or warranties among the Members, oral or written, other than those set forth or referred to herein.
4.9    Waivers and Consents. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom may be granted, only by a written document executed by the Managers or the Members, as applicable. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent. No failure or delay by a Member to exercise any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing among the parties to this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of the Member. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a Member, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude the Member from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under this Agreement. The election of

45




any remedy by a Member shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such Member to pursue other available remedies.
