In consideration for the initial Membership Interests reflected herein, Intrexon will make an initial Capital Contribution to the Company of an amount of US$5 million and Caraco will make an initial Capital Contribution to the Company of an amount of US$5 million (together, the “Initial Capital Contributions”).

(f) Additional Capital Contributions.

(i) Additional Capital Contributions Required Under JSC-approved Budgets: If the Board determines that such is necessary in order for the Company to comply with its obligations under the ECC to pursue diligently a research plan(s) or project(s) approved by the “JSC” (as defined under the ECC) having a corresponding JSC-approved budget(s), the Board may vote, in accord with Section 5.1(c), Section 7.2(c)(iv) and Section 7.2(e), specifically under this Section 5.1(f)(i) to: (A) solicit additional Capital Contributions from the Members in a total amount the Board deems is sufficient solely for Company to meet the liquidity needs of the Company over the next twelve (12) months under such JSC-approved budget(s), and (B) cause the Company to accept such additional Capital Contributions up to the solicited amount from the Members. In such event, each Member shall have the pro-rata opportunity, but not the obligation, to subscribe to the offered contribution or part thereof (and not in part) and participate in such capital raise on a proportionate basis (or part thereof) by making additional Capital Contributions in proportion to its Percentage Interest. Each Member may do so by notifying the Board within fifteen (15) Business Days from the offer by the Company, of its interest to participate in such capital raise, and the amount of participation (up to its pro-rata Percent Interest in Company). If one or more Members notify the Board that they will make additional Capital Contributions under this Section 5.1(f)(i), and if each Member has not notified the Board that it will participate fully up to its Percentage Interest, then (A) any Members making additional Capital Contributions that did notify the Board of its intent to participate fully up to its Percentage Interest may elect to absorb, pro-rata, any portion of the solicited amount left over by other Members until such time as no Member is willing to participate further in the solicited capital raise or the entire capital raise is fulfilled, (B) the Board shall thereafter collect the additional Capital Contributions from the participating Members in accord with the final amounts established under the preceding clause “(A)”, and (C) the

Percentage Interests of all then-existing Members shall thereafter be adjusted pro rata to reflect the additional Capital Contribution(s) of the Member(s). In the event of any adjustments to the Percentage Interests of the Members under this Section 5.1(f)(i), the Company shall amend Schedule A to reflect such adjustments and deliver a copy of such updated Schedule A to each Member. For clarity, if each Member makes an additional Capital Contribution under this Section 5.1(f)(i) in proportion to its Percentage Interest, then the Percentage Interests of the Members shall not be adjusted on account of such Capital Contributions.

(ii) Additional Capital Contributions, Generally: In addition, if the Board, acting in accordance with Section 5.1(c), Section 7.1(f) and Section 7.2(e), at its sole discretion determines that it is necessary, desirable or in the best interests of the Venture, including if it is necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under the ECC, the Board may from time to time solicit additional Capital Contributions from the Members and cause the Company to accept such additional Capital Contributions. In such event, each Member shall have the pro-rata opportunity to subscribe to the entire offered contribution, but not the obligation, to elect to participate in such capital raise on a proportionate basis and make additional Capital Contributions in proportion to its Percentage Interest by notifying the Board within fifteen (15) Business Days from the offer by the Company, of its interest to participate in such capital raise. If one or more Members notify the Board that they will make additional Capital Contributions under this Section 5.1(f)(ii), and if each Member has not notified the Board that it will participate fully up to its Percentage Interest, then (A) any Members making additional Capital Contributions that did notify the Board of its intent to participate fully up to its Percentage Interest may elect to absorb, pro-rata, any portion of the solicited amount left over by other Members until such time as no Member is willing to participate further in the solicited capital raise or the entire capital raise is fulfilled, (B) the Board shall thereafter collect the additional Capital Contributions from the participating Members in accord with the final amounts established under clause (A), and (C) the Percentage Interests of all then-existing Members shall thereafter be adjusted pro rata to reflect the additional Capital Contribution(s) of the Member(s). In the event of any adjustments to the Percentage Interests of the Members under this Section 5.1(f)(ii), the Company shall amend Schedule A to reflect such adjustments and deliver a copy of such updated Schedule A to each Member. For clarity, if each Member makes an additional Capital Contribution under this Section 5.1(f)(ii) in proportion to its Percentage Interest, then the Percentage Interests of the Members shall not be adjusted on account of such Capital Contributions.

(iii) Additional Capital Contributions, New Members: The Board, acting in accordance with Section 5.1(c), Section 7.1(f) and Section 7.2(e), from time to time may cause the Company to accept additional Capital Contributions and/or issue additional Membership Interests of an existing class or a new class to such other Persons, for such consideration (or no consideration), and with such terms and rights (including voting rights), and taking into account such factors (such as future contributions), as the Board, in its discretion, shall determine. Acting in accordance with Section 7.1(f) and Section 7.2(e) the Board from time to time may amend this Agreement to reflect the creation of any additional class of Membership Interests pursuant to this Section.

accord with Section 5.1(f)(ii), Intrexon and Caraco shall each be required to participate in each such capital raise by contributing, in accord with the procedures of Section 5.1(f)(ii), its pro rata portion of the total amount solicited by Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing commitment, neither Intrexon nor Caraco shall be obligated by this Section 5.1(f)(iv) to contribute more than US$5 million in any calendar year and not more than US$25 million in aggregate, counting all prior additional Capital Contributions by the relevant Member under this Section 5.1 to date or within the present calendar year (as applicable). In the event the Board solicits under Section 5.1(f)(ii) more than the foregoing limits, the members shall have the opportunity to respond or not in accordance with Section 5.1(f)(ii). Should either Intrexon or Caraco fail to satisfy its commitment under this Section 5.1(f)(iv), the other member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy the portion of the solicitation not satisfied by the other.

(v) Unless agreed upon to the contrary by both Intrexon and Caraco, for the purposes of adjusting the Percentage Interests of the then-existing Members under Section 5.1(f)(i), 5.1(f)(ii) or 5.1(f)(f)(iv), the Percentage Interests of such then-existing Members shall be adjusted based on [*****].

  5.2. Capital Accounts

The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (a “Capital Account”). The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b), and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. From time to time the Board may value the Company and restate the Members’ Capital Account balances to reflect such value in connection with the issuance of Membership Interests and other equity securities pursuant to this Agreement to the extent required or permitted by the Treasury Regulations. Any such adjustment shall be based on the fair market value of the Company’s assets as determined by the Board; provided, that no Company asset shall be valued at an amount less than any non-recourse indebtedness to which such Company asset is subject on the date of adjustment, and shall reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, or deduction inherent in such Company assets (that has not been reflected in a Capital Account previously) would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable disposition of such Company assets for such fair market value on that date.

 

  5.3. Additional Capital Contributions; Negative Capital Accounts

Other than the Initial Capital Contributions, contributions that a Member has expressly agreed to make or as provided by the LLC Act, no Member shall be required to make any Capital Contributions to the Company or to pay to the Company or to the other Members any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account.

A Member may advance funds to the Company in excess of the amounts the Member is required to contribute to the capital of the Company in any amount and on terms not less favorable to the Company than those generally prevailing with respect to comparable transactions between unrelated parties and are approved by the Members pursuant to Section 7.1(f) and the Board pursuant to Section 7.2(e). Any such advances by a Member shall not result in any increase in the amount of such Member’s Capital Account or entitle it to any increase in its Membership Interest or the Percentage Interest represented by such Member’s Membership Interest. The amounts of such advances shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible only out of the Company Assets in accordance terms and conditions agreed upon by such advancing Member and the Board, subject to Section 7.2(e). All Members need to be offered a pro-rata opportunity to participate in loans made to the Company by one or more Members. However, it will not be an obligation on any Member to grant the advance as requested by the Company.

 

  5.7. Liability of Members

Except as otherwise provided in the LLC Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and none of the Members or Members of the Board shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or Board Member. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under the LLC Act or this Agreement shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on any Member or Board Member for liabilities of the Company.

  5.8. Return of Capital

Except upon the dissolution of the Company or as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to demand or to receive the return of all or any part of their Capital Account or Capital Contributions to the Company.

 

  6. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS

 

  6.1. Allocation of Net Income or Net Loss

Subject to Section 6.4, the net income or net loss of the Company (including all income, gain or loss as computed for federal income tax purposes), if any, for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated for both book and tax accounting purposes to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

 

  6.2. Allocation of Income and Loss With Respect to Membership Interests Transferred

If any Membership Interest is transferred during any Fiscal Year in accordance with this Agreement, the net income or net loss attributable to such Membership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee by closing the books of the Company as of the effective date of the transfer or such other method as the Board reasonably determines is appropriate.

 

  6.3. Distributions

(a) General. Subject to Section 7.1(f) and Section 7.2(e), the Board shall determine the amount of cash and in-kind property available for distribution by the Company to the Members for each Fiscal Year. Except as provided in Section 6.3(b) and Section 10.4, all distributions to the Members shall be made in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, payments to Intrexon under the ECC and payments to any Member for services provided to the Company under the Services Agreements or this Agreement shall not constitute distributions of Distributable Cash Flow or other Company Assets for purposes of this Section 6.3.

(b) Tax Distributions. Subject to any restrictions or covenants contained in any loan agreements (including agreements for any Member Loans) or other debt instruments or agreements to which the Company is then a party, the Board shall cause the Company to make distributions of Distributable Cash Flow to the Members pursuant to Section 6.3(a) in respect of each Fiscal Year, in cash, in amounts such that each Member receives an aggregate amount of distributions at least equal to the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the amount of each item of taxable income or gain of the Company for such period (excluding items of income or gain realized as a result of any sale of the Company) allocated to the Member pursuant to this Agreement (an “Allocable Income Item”), reduced by any offsetting items of loss or deduction (of the same character) of the Company allocated to such Member pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior periods to the extent not previously taken into account under this provision, by (ii) the highest combined marginal rate of tax applicable to any Member (or in the case of any Member that is a pass-through entity for tax

purposes, any person who is liable for tax with respect to such Allocable Income Item) with respect to such Allocable Income Item, taking into account its character and all applicable federal, state, provincial, local and municipal taxes (the amount to be distributed to each Member pursuant to this provision is referred to as the “Tax Distribution Amount”), as determined by the Board in good faith in consultation with the accounting firm that prepares the federal income tax information return (Form 1065) of the Company for such Fiscal Year. In the event the amount of Distributable Cash Flow that may be distributed pursuant to Section 6.3(a) with respect to a Fiscal Year is less than the Members’ aggregate Tax Distribution Amounts, distributions shall be made pursuant to this provision only to the extent of the Distributable Cash Flow that may be distributed and the shortfall shall not constitute a debt or other liability of the Company to the Members; provided, however, that such shortfall shall be paid if and to the extent the Company has Distributable Cash Flow in a subsequent Fiscal Year. The Company shall distribute the Tax Distribution Amounts to the Members with respect to any Fiscal Year as soon as practical after the end of such Fiscal Year but not later than April 10 of the following Fiscal Year. All tax distributions to the Members shall be made in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

 

  6.4. Allocations Required by Tax Regulations

(a) Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)), if any, of the Company shall be allocated to the Member which bears the economic risk of loss within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), and (ii) “nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)) of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(b) Allocations in Accordance with Section 704(b). This Agreement shall be deemed to include “qualified income offset,” “minimum gain chargeback” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provisions within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, items of gross income shall be allocated to the Members on a priority basis to the extent and in the manner required by such provisions. In addition, if the amount of net loss for any Fiscal Year that otherwise would be allocated to a Member under Section 6.1 would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as of the last day of such Fiscal Year (after all other allocations have been made pursuant to this Section 6), then such Member shall be allocated that amount of net loss (or items of loss and expense) which does not cause or increase such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, and the remainder of such net loss (or items of loss and expense) that would have been allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members (to the extent it would not cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for a Member). Any allocations required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) shall be offset, to the extent possible, by special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.4(b), so that, after such special offsetting allocations have been made, each Member’s Capital Account balance will be equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations had not been made.

  7. MANAGEMENT

 

  7.1. Members

(a) Participation. Unless otherwise classified as Nonvoting Interests in accordance with this Agreement, all Membership Interests shall be considered Voting Interests and shall entitle the Members holding such Voting Interests to participate in all matters to be decided by Members and all meetings of Members pursuant to this Agreement and the LLC Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Nonvoting Interests shall be nonvoting for all purposes and Members owning only Nonvoting Interests shall have no rights to vote on, consent to, participate in the consideration of, or approve any action or matter that the Members are required or permitted to vote on, consent to, participate in the consideration of, or approve under this Agreement or the LLC Act. References in this Section 7 to “Members” shall mean only Members holding Voting Interests and shall exclude Members holding only Interests classified as Nonvoting Interests. All Voting Interests shall entitle the Members holding such Voting Interests to participate in all matters to be decided by Members and all meetings of Members pursuant to this Agreement and the LLC Act.

(b) Meetings. Members need not hold annual meetings. Special meetings of the Members holding Voting Interests shall be held at the discretion of the Board or the written request of any one or more Members with Voting Interests representing at least twenty percent (20%) of the Member Votes, at such time and location, reasonably selected to maximize participation amongst all Members, as may be fixed by the Board for the transaction of such lawful business as may come before the meeting. Meetings of Members may be held by telephone or any other communications equipment by means of which all participating Members can simultaneously speak with and hear each other during the meeting.

(c) Voting Rights; Vote Required. On any matter presented to the Members for a vote, consent, consideration or approval, each Member holding Voting Interests shall be entitled to cast that number of votes equal to their Percentage Interest multiplied by 100. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Members must be approved by the affirmative vote or consent of Members holding Voting Interests representing a Majority of the Voting Interests.

(d) Waiver of Notice. Whenever the giving of any notice to Members is required by statute or this Agreement, a waiver thereof, in writing and delivered to the Company signed by the Person or Persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the event as to which such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Member at a meeting or execution of a written consent to any action shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member’s attendance at a meeting shall not constitute a waiver of notice hereunder if the Member’s sole purpose in attending the meeting is to protest the failure to provide notice or other procedural defect.

(e) Action By Written Consent. Any action that may be taken by the Members under this Agreement may be taken without a meeting if consents in writing setting forth the action so taken are signed by Members who own, collectively, Voting Interests representing at least the minimum number of Member Votes that would be required to take such

(v) to authorize on behalf of the Company, issue of Membership Interests in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.1(f)(i).

Except for the Program Manager as set forth in Section 7.3(a) and as may be approved by the Members or the Board, no Board Member, acting individually, shall have any authority, right or power, by virtue of being a Board Member, to bind the Company.

The Program Manager shall furnish to all Board Members prior to each meeting of the Board and at such other times as any Board Member shall request copies of such books, records, accounts and other information of or relating to the Company and its business and affairs as any Board Member shall require, in the reasonable judgment of such Board Member, to discharge fully its duties and responsibilities as a Board Member.

(e) Quorum. For so long as each of Caraco and Intrexon have the right to appoint Board Members pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7.2(c)(i)-(ii), attendance of at least two Board Members, including at least one Intrexon Designee and at least one Caraco Designee, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business, but if upon a call of a meeting a quorum is not present, any Board Member present may adjourn from time to time until a quorum shall be present. However, solely in the event of any meeting convened specifically for transacting business under Section 5.1 (f)(i), if a quorum as set forth above in this Section 7.2(e) is not present, such a meeting shall be automatically adjourned and set to reconvene on the earliest Business Day falling 7 (Seven) days after the date of the original adjourned meeting. In the event that a quorum is also not present at such reconvened meeting, the Board Members present shall constitute a quorum for the sole purposes of transacting business under Section 5.1 (f)(i).(f) Voting Rights; Major Decisions.

(g) Action by Written Consent. Any action that may be taken by the Board under this Agreement may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice, if a written consent or consents, including consents by facsimile and electronic mail, setting forth the action so taken are signed by the minimum number of Board Members who would be required to take such action if such action were taken by the Board at a meeting at which all Board Members were present.

(h) Expenses. The Board may authorize the payment to Board Members of expenses of attendance, if any, at each regular or special meeting of the Board attended by such Board Members.

committee of the Board may determine the procedural rules for meeting and conducting its business and shall act in accordance therewith, provided, however, that each committee shall keep minutes of its meetings and report its proceedings to the Board as and when required by the Board.

The Program Manager shall have overall responsibility and authority for the Company’s business operations and financial affairs, subject to the oversight of the Board. A Program Manager shall serve in such office until such time as the Board determines to replace the Program Manager with one or more officers who are not Board Members. For such time and so long as Intrexon and Caraco have the right to appoint Intrexon Designees and Caraco Designees, such Board determination shall require the consent or affirmative vote of a majority of the Board including at least one Intrexon Designee and at least one Caraco Designee. Except as provided in this Section 7.3(a), each Program Manager shall serve for an annual term. The right to appoint the Program Manager shall alternate between Intrexon and Caraco; provided, that (a) each Program Manager designated by a Member shall be reasonably acceptable to the other Members (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (b) the initial Program Manager shall be designated by Caraco and shall serve until the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or until such later date as may be mutually agreed by the Members.

behalf of a Delaware corporation as an officer of a Delaware corporation with the same title would have under the Delaware General Corporation Law in the absence of a specific delegation of authority. Without limiting the foregoing, the President or Chief Executive Officer shall have overall responsibility and authority for the Company’s business operations and financial affairs, subject to the oversight of the Board. All other officers and all employees and agents shall report directly or indirectly to the President or Chief Executive Officer.

In the event the President or Chief Executive Officer are unable to agree on any matter, he or she shall refer it to the Board for resolution.

(d) Resignation. Unless otherwise agreed-upon in the written terms of his\her appointment, any officer or agent of the Company may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board.

(e) Removal; Vacancies; Transfer of Duties. Any officer of the Company may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the Board. The power and duties of any officer may be transferred in whole or in part by the Board to any other officer or other individual, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement.

(f) Third Party Reliance. Third parties dealing with the Company shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the officers of the Company as set forth herein.

 

  7.4. Fiduciary Relationship

Board Members and officers of the Company shall owe fiduciary duties to the Company and its Members to the same extent as the fiduciary duties owed by members of the board of directors and officers of a Delaware corporation to the corporation and its stockholders, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. For clarity, actions taken by Intrexon Designees in their respective capacity as fiduciary Board Members do not reflect the position of Intrexon or otherwise bind Intrexon, and actions taken by Caraco Designees in their respective capacity as fiduciary Board Members does not reflect the position of Caraco or otherwise bind Caraco. To the extent that the official position of Caraco on an issue differs from or is contrary to the vote or position of a Caraco Designee acting in their official fiduciary capacity as a Board Member, Caraco shall be required to notify Company and Intrexon as soon as practicable after learning of said differing or contrary vote or position. To the extent that the official position of Intrexon on an issue differs from or is contrary to the vote or position of an Intrexon Designee acting in their official fiduciary capacity as a Board Member, Intrexon shall be required to notify Company and Caraco as soon as practicable after learning of said differing or contrary vote or position.

Both Offeror and Offeree shall have the right to continue increasing their respective offer prices in increments of no less than ten percent (10%), until either the Offeror or Offeree has accepted an offer or the Offeror and Offeree mutually agree to hold their Membership Interests and continue operate the Company as Members thereof. On final acceptance of any Offer or Counteroffer by either Caraco or Intrexon, each of the other Members (being other than Caraco and Intrexon) shall also be bound to tender their Membership Interests to the successful Member at the final offered price towards transfer of all of their Membership Interests in the Company.

“baseball arbitration” as follows. Either Member, following the end of the thirty (30) day period referenced in Section 11.12(a), may refer such issue to arbitration by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Member(s), with the arbitration to be held in the state where the Company’s principal office is located (or some other place as may be mutually agreed by the Members). Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Members and the Company shall meet and discuss in good faith and choose one arbitrator from a list of arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) as being suitable to arbitrate the Parties’s dispute. The Parties agree that the chosen arbitrator shall be neutral and independent of all Members and of their respective Affiliates, and shall have significant experience and expertise in licensing, partnering and joint venture agreements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and concerning related intellectual property rights (as appropriate in light of the subject matter of the Parties’ disputed issues), and shall have some experience in Delaware law and mediating or arbitrating issues relating to such agreements and/or related intellectual property rights. The AAA Rules shall govern the arbitration between the Parties except as set forth in, and to the extent not inconsistent with, this Section 11.2. Within twenty (20) Business Days after an arbitrator(s) is selected, each Member will deliver to both the arbitrator and the other Members a detailed written proposal setting forth its proposed terms for the resolution for the matter at issue (the “Proposed Terms” of the Member) and a memorandum (the “Support Memorandum”) in support thereof. The Members will also provide the arbitrator a copy of this Agreement, as it may be amended at such time. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of the other Members’ Proposed Terms and Support Memorandum, each Member may submit to the arbitrator) (with a copy to the other Member and the Company) a response to the other Members’ Support Memoranda. Neither Member may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrator other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly permitted in this Section 11.12(b); provided, that the arbitrator may convene a hearing if the arbitrator so chooses to ask questions of the Members and hear oral argument and discussion regarding each Member’s Proposed Terms. Within sixty (60) days after the arbitrator’s appointment, the arbitrator will select one of the Proposed Terms (without modification) provided by the Members that he or she believes is most consistent with the intention underlying and agreed principles set forth in this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and unappealable. For clarity, the arbitrator must select as the only method to resolve the matter at issue (one of the Proposed Terms), and may not combine elements of multiple Proposed Terms or award any other relief or take any other action.

(c) Award. Any award to be paid by one Member to another Member or the Company as determined by the arbitrator as set forth above under Section 11.12(b) shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the losing Member. Each Member agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 11.12, and agrees that, subject to the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, judgment may be entered upon the final award in any United States District Court and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. The award shall include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach of the Agreement, and from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator. With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrator or any court or any other forum to award incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate, the Members expressly waive any claim for incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages.

(d) Costs. Each Member shall bear its own legal fees in connection with any such arbitration under this Section 11.12. The arbitrator shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Member(s) losing the arbitration.

Nothing in this Section 11.12 will preclude any Member or the Company from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Member or the Company or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding.
