The Directors and Officers shall not be liable, responsible or accountable for damages or otherwise to the Company, or to the Members, and, to the fullest extent allowed by law, each Director and each Officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company, including advancement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses, but only to the extent that the Company’s assets are sufficient therefor, from and against all claims, liabilities, and expenses by reason of the fact that such Director or Officer is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; provided that (a) such Director’s or Officer’s course of conduct was pursued in good faith and believed by him to be in the best interests of the Company and was reasonably believed by him to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Director or Officer pursuant to this Agreement and (b) such course of conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Director or Officer and otherwise was in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless expressly approved by the Board, no Director or Officer shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company under this Section 3.5 with respect to any legal proceeding initiated by such Director or Officer. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3.5 are intended to provide indemnification of the Directors and the Officers to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL regarding a corporation’s indemnification of its directors and officers and will be in addition to any rights to which the Directors or Officers may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law and shall extend to their respective heirs, personal representatives and assigns. The absence of any express provision for indemnification herein shall not limit any right of indemnification existing independently of this Section 3.5. Each

- 22 -

Director’s and each Officer’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.5 may be conditioned by the Board upon the delivery by such Director or such Officer of a written undertaking (with such security as the Board may require) to repay such amount if such individual is determined by the Board or adjudicated to be ineligible for indemnification, which undertaking shall be an unlimited obligation.

Members; Voting Rights

4.1 Meetings of Members.

(a) Generally. Meetings of the Members may be called by the Board or by a Majority of the Members. All meetings of the Members shall be held telephonically or at the principal office of the Company or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as may be determined by the Board or the Member(s) calling the meeting and set forth in the respective notice or waivers of notice of such meeting. A record shall be maintained by the Secretary of the Company of each meeting of the Members.

(b) Notice of Meetings of Members. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting shall be delivered not fewer than two (2) Business Days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by any written method by which it is reasonable to expect that the Members would receive such notice not later than the Business Day prior to the date of the meeting, to each holder of Units, by or at the direction of the Member(s) calling the meeting or the Board, as the case may be. Such notice may, but need not, specify the purpose or purposes of such meeting and may, but need not, limit the business to be conducted at such meeting to such purpose(s).

(c) Quorum. Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, at any time, a Majority of the Members, present or represented in person, telephonically or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum of the Members for purposes of conducting business. Once a quorum is present at the meeting of the Members, the subsequent withdrawal from the meeting of any Member prior to adjournment or the refusal of any Member to vote shall not affect the presence of a quorum at the meeting. If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Members, the Members having a majority of the voting power of the Members present at such meeting (in person or by proxy) shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a Majority of the Members shall be present or represented. Resolutions of the Members at any meeting of Members shall be adopted by the affirmative vote of a Majority of the Members.

(d) Actions Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by a Majority of the Members and such consent or consents are delivered to the Secretary. A record shall be maintained by the Secretary of each such action taken by written consent of a Member or Members.

4.2 Voting Rights. Except as specifically provided herein or otherwise required by applicable law, for all purposes hereunder or under the Delaware Act with respect to which the

A Member who owns Units may vote or be present at a meeting either in person, telephonically or by proxy. There will be no “cumulative voting” (as that term is defined in the GCL) in the election or removal of Directors. Except as expressly required by this Agreement or the Delaware Act, neither a vote of the Members nor a separate vote by the Members who hold Units of any class or series of Units will be required for any action taken or proposed to be taken by the Company. Without limiting the preceding sentence, except as expressly required by Section 12.4, a merger or consolidation involving the Company shall require only the approval of a Majority of the Members. Unitholders who are not admitted as Members in accordance with this Agreement shall not be entitled to vote on any matters involving the Company or their Units.

4.3 Registered Members. The Company shall be entitled to treat the owner of record of any Unit as the owner in fact of such Unit for all purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Unit on the part of any other Person, whether or not the Company shall have express or other notice of such claim or interest, except as expressly provided by this Agreement or the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secretary shall amend the Members Schedule to reflect a transferee of any Unit as the new owner of record of such Unit as promptly as practicable following the Company’s receipt from such transferee of a written undertaking to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A, as contemplated by Section 11.3(a).

4.4 Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or in this Agreement, no Member will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or of any other Member by reason of being a Member, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise. No Member will have any responsibility to restore any negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account or to contribute to or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of the Company or return distributions made by the Company except as required by the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

4.5 Withdrawal; Resignation. A Member shall not cease to be a Member as a result of the Bankruptcy of such Member or as result of any other events specified in § 18-304 of the Delaware Act. So long as a Member continues to own or hold any Units, such Member shall not have the ability to resign as a Member prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company and any such resignation or attempted resignation by a Member prior to the dissolution or winding up of the Company shall be null and void. When any Person who is a Member ceases to own or hold any Units, such Person shall no longer be a Member.

4.6 Death of a Member. The death of any Member shall not cause the dissolution of the Company. In such event the Company and its business shall be continued by the remaining Member or Members.

4.7 Authority. No Member, in its capacity as a Member, shall have the power to act for or on behalf of, or to bind the Company.

4.8 Outside Activities. Subject to the terms of any written agreement by any Member to the contrary, a Member may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Company, including business interests and activities which compete with those of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and no Member in his capacity as a Member shall have any duty or obligation to bring any “corporate opportunity” to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Subject to the terms of any written agreement by any Member to the contrary, neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor any other Member in his capacity as a Member shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business interests or activities of any other Member.

Units; Membership

5.1 Units Generally. The Membership Interests of the Members shall be represented by issued and outstanding Units, which may be divided into one or more types, classes or series, or subseries of any type, class or series, with each type, class or series, or subseries thereof, having the rights and privileges, including voting rights, if any, set forth in this Agreement. The Secretary shall maintain a schedule of all Members from time to time, their respective mailing addresses and the Units held by them and the Capital Contributions made by them with respect thereto (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Members Schedule”), a copy of which as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Schedule B. Ownership of a Unit (or fraction thereof) shall not entitle a Unitholder to call for a partition or division of any property of the Company or for any accounting. The Company will not effect a split, reverse split or other combination or subdivision of the Common Units of any class or series unless the terms of all other classes and series (including related Points, Common Capital Values and Non-Distribution Amounts) of Common Units are equitably adjusted.

5.2 Authorization and Issuance of Units.

(a) Series A Preferred Units. The Company hereby authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of Series A Preferred Units, 82,000,000 of which are outstanding on the date hereof, as set forth on Schedule B.

(f) Other Units. In addition to the Series A Preferred Units, the Class A Common Units, the Class B Common Units, the initial Series of Class C Common Units, and the Class D Common Units, the Company hereby authorizes the issuance of other Units. With respect to such Units, the Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of such Units in any class or series by adopting a Class C Common Unit Designation or a New Unit Designation or by amending this Agreement to reflect such issuance and to establish the number of Units to be included in each such series (which may be unlimited), and to fix the relative rights, obligations, preferences and limitations of the Units of each such Class or Series.

(g) Additional Units. The Board is authorized to increase or decrease the number of Units of any Class or Series of Units, prior or subsequent to the issue of Units of that Class or Series, but not below the number of Units of such Class or Series then outstanding.

5.3 Unit Certificates. Unless the Board otherwise directs, Units will not be represented by certificates.

5.4 Issuance of Units. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 11.5, the Company (with the approval of the Board) shall have the right to issue any authorized but unissued Units; provided that the Company shall not issue any Units to any Person unless such Person has executed and delivered to the Secretary the documents described in Section 5.5. Upon the issuance of Units, the Company shall adjust the Capital Accounts of the Unitholders as necessary in accordance with Section 6.2.

5.5 New Members from the Issuance of Units. In order for a Person to be admitted as a Member of the Company by reason of the issuance of Units to such Person by the Company, such Person shall have executed and delivered to the Secretary a written undertaking to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A. Upon the amendment of the Members Schedule by the Secretary and the satisfaction of any other applicable conditions, including the receipt by the Company of payment for the issuance of the applicable Units, such Person shall be admitted as a Member and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Company.

5.6 Treatment of Repurchased Class C Common Units. Any Class C Common Unit that is repurchased by the Company pursuant to Section 6 of any Incentive Share Purchase Agreement or otherwise shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement.

5.7 Effect on Dilution Factor of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the Dilution Factor, the following shall be applicable:

(a) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Option and the price per Unit for which membership interests having Points are issuable upon the exercise of such Option, or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option, is less than the Fair Market Value of such Units immediately prior to such grant or sale, then for purposes of the definitions of the terms “Dilution Factor” and “Dilutive Event” the total number of Units issuable upon the exercise of such Option or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per Unit. For purposes of this Section 5.7(a), the “price per Unit for which membership interests having Points are issuable” shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Option, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such Option, plus in the case of an Option which relates to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total number of Units so issuable upon the exercise of such Option or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Option. No adjustment of the Dilution Factor shall be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of any such Option or when Units having Points are actually issued upon the exercise of such Option or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

- 26 -

(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company or any Subsidiary in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per Unit for which membership interests having Points are issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Fair Market Value of such Units immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then for purposes of the definitions of the terms “Dilution Factor” and “Dilutive Event” the total number of Units issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per Unit. For the purposes of this Section 5.7(b), the “price per Unit for which membership interests having Points are issuable” shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total number of Units represented by the membership interests issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No adjustment of the Dilution Factor shall be made when membership interests are actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Option, then no adjustment of the Dilution Factor shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(c) Change in Option Price; Conversion Rate or Units Issuable. If the purchase price provided for in any Option, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security, the rate at which any Convertible Security is convertible into or exchangeable for membership interests having Points, and/or the quantity of such membership interests issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any such

- 27 -

Option or Convertible Security, changes at any time, then the Dilution Factor shall be immediately adjusted to the Dilution Factor which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration, conversion rate or quantity, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold; provided that no such change shall at any time cause the Dilution Factor to be less than 1.00.

(d) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any membership interest, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, for purposes of the definitions of the terms “Dilution Factor” and “Dilutive Event” the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company and its Subsidiaries therefor. If any membership interest, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, for purposes of the definitions of the terms “Dilution Factor” and “Dilutive Event” the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the Fair Market Value thereof.

(e) Recomputation. Upon the expiration or the termination of the right to exercise, convert or exchange any Convertible Security or Option the issuance of which resulted in an increase in the Dilution Factor pursuant to this Section 5.7, the Dilution Factor shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of membership interests having Points (and Convertible Securities which remain convertible into such membership interests) actually issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities.

(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5.7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Board in good faith will make an appropriate adjustment in the Dilution Factor so as to protect the rights of the holders of Class D Common Units.

5.8 Determination of Class D Common Redemption Price. After one or more holders of Class D Common Units elect(s) to require the Company to redeem Class D Common Units in accordance with Section 4D of the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will deliver written notice of the Board’s determination of the Fair Market Value of such Units (the “Redemption Value Notice”) to the holder(s) of the Class D Common Units to be redeemed. Such determination will be binding upon the Company and the holders of the Class D Common Units for purposes of such redemption unless any Majority Redeeming Class D Holders provide the Company with written notice, delivered within 15 days of their receiving the applicable Redemption Value Notice, to the effect that they believe the Fair Market Value of such Class D Common Units is greater than that described in the Redemption Value Notice. If any Majority Redeeming Class D Holders deliver such a notice, then the Company shall (unless the Company (with the approval or ratification by the Board) and any Majority Redeeming Class D Holders otherwise agree in writing as to the Fair Market Value of the Class D Common Units to be redeemed, in which case such determination shall be binding on the Company and the holders of the Class D Common Units to be redeemed) engage an Independent Financial Advisor reasonably acceptable to the Company and any Majority Redeeming Class D Holders to determine the Fair Market Value of the Class D Common Units to be redeemed, and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holders of the Class D Common Units to be redeemed. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Financial Advisor shall be borne by the Company.

(i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include tax-exempt income and those items described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includible in gross income or are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Book Value” or Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property (provided that if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(i), the allocation of gain or loss shall be made immediately prior to the related acquisition of the interest in the Company).

(iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

(iv) Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property’s Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company property pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, 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).

(vi) All items of income, gain, loss or deduction which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 shall not be taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss.

(a) If at the time any Distribution is made in respect of any Class C Common Unit pursuant to Section 7.2 such Class C Common Unit is an Unvested Class C Common Unit, then the amount of such Distribution (after giving effect to Section 7.3(b)) shall be withheld from the holder of such Unvested Class C Common Unit until the earlier to occur of (i) the time at which such Unvested Class C Common Unit becomes a Vested Class C Common Unit, whereupon the amount so withheld shall be promptly paid by the Company to such holder without interest and (ii) the time at which such Unvested Class C Common Unit is no longer eligible for vesting, whereupon the amount so withheld shall be distributed to the other Members pursuant to Section 7.2 or retained by the Company and held or used for any purpose, as a Majority of the Board may direct. Distributions withheld from a holder pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) will nonetheless be deemed to have been received by such holder for purposes of Section 7.2(e).

(b) Any holder of any Class C Common Unit will forego distributions that would otherwise be made in respect of such Class C Common Unit from time to time pursuant to Section 7.2 (including by reason of Section 7.3(c)) in such amount(s) as may be required so that the aggregate amount of Distributions foregone with respect to such Class C Common Unit by reason of this Section 7.3(b) is equal to the Non-Distribution Amount for such Class C Common

- 33 -

Unit. No holder of any Class C Common Unit will later have the right to receive any Distribution which is foregone pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), except to the extent that any portion of such foregone Distribution may be reallocated to such holder in accordance with Section 7.3(c). Distributions foregone by a holder pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) will nonetheless be deemed to have been received by such holder for purposes of Section 7.2(e).

(c) All Distributions foregone in respect of Class C Common Units pursuant to Section 7.3(b) will be reallocated and paid instead to the Unitholders in accordance with Section 7.2(e) or Section 7.2(f), as applicable (subject again to being withheld or foregone pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b)); provided that the holders of Class D Common Units shall not be eligible to have any Distribution foregone in respect of Class C Common Units pursuant to Section 7.3(b) reallocated and paid to such holders pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) and:

(i) for purposes of reallocating and paying any such Distribution so foregone pursuant to this Section 7.3(c), the provisions of Sections 7.2(e) and 7.2(f) shall be given effect as if no Class D Common Units exist, and

(ii) for purposes of determining amounts payable to holders of Class D Common Units pursuant to Section 7.2(e), amounts paid to holders of other Common-Equivalent Units pursuant to Sections 7.2(e) and 7.2(f) will be excluded from the Catch-Up Amount.

7.4 Tax Advances. Subject to the restrictions of any of the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ then applicable debt financing agreements, the Board may cause the Company to distribute to each Unitholder cash in proportion to and to the extent of such Unitholder’s Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter. Any distributions described in this Section 7.4 will be made without regard for the relative priorities and amounts set forth in Section 7.2. Distributions made pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be taken into account as advances on distributions made pursuant to Section 7.2, and shall (to the extent not previously taken into account pursuant to this sentence) reduce the distributions to be made to any Unitholder under Section 7.2, when and as paid by the Company. No Unitholder shall be liable to the Company for any amount distributed to it pursuant to this Section 7.4, or for any interest on such amount.

7.5 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Unitholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if the Company is required by law (as determined by the Tax Matters Partner based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to make any payment on behalf of a Unitholder in its capacity as such (including in respect of withholding taxes, personal property taxes, and unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then such Unitholder (the “Indemnifying Unitholder”) will indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid, including interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payment. At the option of the Board, either:

(a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company, the Indemnifying Unitholder will make a cash payment to the Company in an amount equal to the full amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid will not be added to the Indemnifying Unitholder’s Capital Account or otherwise deemed to be a Capital Contribution), or

- 34 -

(b) the Company will reduce the Distribution giving rise to such payment and/or any subsequent Distributions which would otherwise be made to the Indemnifying Unitholder until the Company has recovered the amount to be indemnified (and the amount of such reduction will be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes, and such deemed distribution will reduce the Indemnifying Unitholder’s Capital Account).

A Unitholder’s obligation to make contributions to the Company under this Section 7.5 will survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 7.5, the Company will be treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Unitholder under this Section 7.5, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such contribution with interest calculated at a rate equal to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ effective cost of borrowed funds.

7.6 Non-Cash Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not make any Distribution in the form of non-cash property with respect to any class of Common Units unless all holders of such class of Common Units entitled to receive such Distribution in accordance with Section 7.2 receive the identical form of non-cash consideration.

7.7 Redemption of Series A Preferred Units. With respect to any Series A Preferred Unit, such Series A Preferred Unit shall cease to be issued and outstanding and shall be deemed to have been redeemed upon the payment in full in cash of each of (i) the Unreturned Capital Value of such Series A Preferred Unit, (ii) the Unpaid Yield on such Series A Preferred Unit as of the time the Unreturned Capital Value of such Series A Preferred Unit was paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Redemption Amount (as that term is defined in the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement), if any, that is payable pursuant to the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement upon the redemption of such Series A Preferred Unit, whereupon (A) the holder of such Series A Preferred Unit shall cease to have any right or obligation hereunder with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit and (B) the Secretary shall amend the Members Schedule to reflect the redemption in full of such Series A Preferred Unit.

7.8 Distributions Upon Compliance with Certain Covenants.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) and the fact that any Series A Preferred Units are then outstanding, the Company shall be permitted to make Distributions to the holders of Common Units in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 7.2(c), 7.2(d), 7.2(e) and 7.2(f) so long as the Company is in compliance with the covenants set forth in Paragraph 6B of the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

Allocations

8.1 Regular Allocations.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2, Net Profits and Net Losses (if any) for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year, the sum of (i) the Capital Account of each Member,

- 35 -

(ii) such Member’s share of Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)) and (iii) such Member’s partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)) shall be equal to the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which would be distributed to such Member or for which such Member would be liable to the Company under the Delaware Act, determined as if the Company were to (x) liquidate the assets of the Company for an amount equal to their Book Value and (y) distribute the proceeds of liquidation pursuant to Section 10.2; provided that clauses (x) and (y) above only apply to this Section 8.1.

(b) Allocation for Net Profit Year. For purposes of this Section 8.1, subject to Section 8.1(d), if the Company has Profits for a Fiscal Year or other period, then (i) Losses will first be allocated to Members whose Capital Accounts are to be reduced as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a), in amounts equal to the respective amounts by which such Capital Accounts are to be so reduced, and (ii) Profits and any remaining Losses will be allocated to Members whose Capital Accounts are to be increased as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a), in the proportion that the amounts of the increases to be so effected in such Members’ respective Capital Accounts bears to the aggregate amount of the increase to be effected in all such Members’ Capital Accounts as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a).

(c) Allocation for Net Loss Year. For purposes of this Section 8.1, subject to Section 8.1(d), if the Company has Losses for a Fiscal Year or other period, then (i) Profits will first be allocated to Members whose Capital Accounts are to be increased as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a), in amounts equal to the respective amounts by which such Capital Accounts are to be so increased, and (ii) Losses and any remaining Profits will be allocated to Members whose Capital Accounts are to be reduced as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a), in the proportion that the amounts of the reductions to be effected in such Members’ respective Capital Accounts bears to the aggregate amount of the reduction to be so effected in all such Members’ Capital Accounts as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a).

(d) Negative Capital Account Balances. If all items of Profit for a Fiscal Year or other period have been allocated in accordance with Section 8.1(a) and there remain items of Loss to be allocated, then such items of Loss will be allocated to the Members pro rata according to the number of Units held by each of them. If, prior to making any allocation of items of Profit or Loss for any Fiscal Year or other period, any Member has a negative Capital Account balance, then items of Profit will be allocated to all such Members, pro rata according to the amounts by which their respective Capital Account balances are less then zero, until no Member has a negative Capital Account balance.

(e) General. Nothing herein is intended to give rise to any guaranteed payments that would be required to be allocated to any Member. The Unitholders intend that allocations hereunder affecting Capital Accounts shall be made such that liquidation distributions made under Section 10.2(b)(iii) shall be the same as if made in accordance with positive Capital Account balances.

- 36 -

8.2 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1:

(a) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), as an item of Profits (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or Losses (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such Profits or Losses shall be specially allocated to the Unitholders 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.

(b) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Taxable Year, each Unitholder shall be specially allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Unitholder’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 8.2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Unitholder Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Unitholder Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Unitholder that has a share of such Unitholder Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Unitholder’s share of the net decrease in Unitholder Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 8.2(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) In the event any Unitholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), Profits shall be specially allocated to such Unitholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 8.2(d) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) The allocations set forth in Sections 8.2(a), 8.2(b), 8.2(c) and 8.2(d) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VIII (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits and Losses among Unitholders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each

- 37 -

Unitholder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Unitholder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

8.3 Curative Allocations. If the Tax Matters Partner determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in this Article VIII (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Unitholders’ economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “misallocated item”), then the Board may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests; provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Unitholder that would be affected thereby (which consent no such Unitholder may unreasonably withhold) and provided further that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Unitholder, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.

8.4 Tax Allocations.

(a) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Unitholders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Unitholders for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Unitholders for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the traditional method of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b), or such other method elected by the Tax Matters Partner, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.

(c) If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Book Value”, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Unitholders according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unitholder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

- 38 -

8.5 Certain General Provisions. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, allocations affecting Capital Accounts shall be made such that liquidation distributions made under Section 10.2(b)(iii) shall be the same as if made in accordance with positive Capital Account balances.

ARTICLE IX

Elections and Reports

9.1 Generally. The Company will keep appropriate books and records with respect to the Company’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.3 or pursuant to applicable laws. The Unitholders (subject to reasonable confidentiality requirements that the Board may impose) shall have such right to request and receive such information concerning the Company and its affairs as the Company is required by the Delaware Act to provide.

9.2 Tax Status. The Unitholders intend that the Company be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the Company and each Unitholder shall file all tax returns on the basis consistent therewith.

9.3 Reports. The Company will use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, by March 1 (and, in any event, will deliver not later than May 31) of each year, to each Person who was a Unitholder at any time during the previous Taxable Year, all information necessary for the preparation of such Person’s United States federal income tax returns and any state, local and foreign income tax returns which such Person is required to file as a result of the Company being engaged in a trade or business within such state, local or foreign jurisdiction, including a statement showing such Person’s share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for such year for United States federal income tax purposes (and, if applicable, state, local or foreign income tax purposes) and the amount of any distributions made to or for the account of such Person. Upon the written request of any such Person, the Company will use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered any additional information necessary for the preparation of any state, local and foreign income tax returns which must be filed by such Person.

9.4 Tax Elections. The Tax Matters Partner will determine whether to make or revoke any available election pursuant to the Code. Each Unitholder will upon request supply the information necessary to give proper effect to any such election.

9.5 Tax Controversies. ABRY Partners is designated the “Tax Matters Partner” (as defined in Code Section 6231) for the Company, and is authorized to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith; provided that the Tax Matters Partner may be replaced by action of a Majority of the Members. Each Unitholder agrees to

- 39 -

cooperate with the Tax Matters Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Partner with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the Tax Matters Partner will have sole discretion to determine whether the Company (either in its own behalf or on behalf of the Unitholders) will contest or continue to contest any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed by any taxing authority. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Unitholder (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes) will be paid by such Unitholder, and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the Company, will be recoverable from such Unitholder as provided in Section 7.5. The Company shall reimburse the Tax Matters Partner for any and all reasonable expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with the fulfillment of its duties under this Section 9.5. This provision is not intended to authorize the Tax Matters Partner to take any action left to the determination of a partner under Sections 6222 through 6231 of the Code.

9.6 UBTI/ECI. The Company shall use its best efforts not to engage, directly (or indirectly through any entity owned by the Company that is treated as a pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes), in any activity that would cause a Unitholder to recognize, solely as a result of its status as a Unitholder in the Company, either (a) unrelated business taxable income within the meaning of Section 512 of the Code (including by reason of Section 514 of the Code); or (b) income that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, within the meaning of Section 871(b) or Section 882(a)(1) of the Code (including income described in Section 897 of the Code which is treated as income within the meaning of Section 871(b) or 882(a)(1) of the Code). The parties anticipate that any acquisition of all or a portion of the business of, or all or a substantial portion of the assets of, any Person will be made in or through “C” corporations.

ARTICLE X

Dissolution and Liquidation

10.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up only upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) The sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets it then owns;

(b) The election to dissolve the Company by action of a Majority of the Members; or

(c) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under § 18-802 of the Delaware Act; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Member shall make an application for the dissolution of the Company pursuant to § 18-802 of the Delaware Act without the approval of a Majority of the Members.

Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been completed, the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in Section 10.2 and the Certificate shall have been canceled.

- 40 -

10.2 Liquidation.

(a) Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board will appoint a Person to act as the “Liquidator,” and such Person shall act as the Liquidator unless and until a successor Liquidator is appointed as provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal and appointment of a successor Liquidator approved by the Board. Any successor Liquidator will succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the former Liquidator. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided in this Section 10.2 will be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions of this Agreement, and every reference in this Agreement to the Liquidator will be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator will receive as compensation for its services as follows: (1) no additional compensation, if the Liquidator is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (2) if the Liquidator is not such an employee, such compensation as the Board may approve, plus, in either case, reimbursement of the Liquidator’s out-of-pocket expenses in performing its duties.

(b) Liquidating Actions. The Liquidator will liquidate the assets of the Company and apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable law:

(i) First, to the payment of the Company’s debts and obligations to its creditors (including any Unitholders who are creditors), including sales commissions and other expenses incident to any sale of the assets of the Company, in order of the priority provided by law.

(ii) Second, to the establishment of and additions to such reserves as the Board deems reasonably necessary or appropriate.

(iii) Third, to the Unitholders, in accordance with Section 7.2.

The reserves established pursuant to clause (ii) above will be deposited by the Liquidator with a bank or other financial institution, to be used for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, as the Board deems advisable, such reserves will be distributed to the Unitholders in accordance with Section 7.2. The allocations and distributions provided for in this Agreement are intended to result in the Capital Account of each Unitholder immediately prior to the distribution of the Company’s assets pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) being equal to the amount distributable to such Unitholder pursuant to this Section 10.2(b). The Company is authorized to make appropriate adjustments in the allocation of Profits and Losses as necessary to cause the amount of each Unitholder’s Capital Account immediately prior to the distribution of the Company’s assets pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) to equal the amount distributable to such Unitholder pursuant to this Section 10.2(b).

(c) Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(b) which require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 10.2(b), if upon dissolution of the Company the Board determines that an

- 41 -

immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Unitholders, the Board may, in its sole discretion, defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, distribute to the Unitholders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common or otherwise, as the Board may elect, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(b), such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation or undivided interests therein. Any such distribution in kind will be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such distribution, the Board will determine the Fair Market Value of any property to be distributed in accordance with any valuation procedure which the Board reasonably deems appropriate.

(d) Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time will be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 10.2(b) in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. Distributions upon liquidation of the Company (or any Unitholder’s interest in the Company) and related adjustments will be made by the end of the Taxable Year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) or as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b).

(e) Termination. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 10.2(b) or 10.2(c), the Company shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

ARTICLE XI

Transfer of Units

11.1 Restrictions. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that such Member shall not Transfer any Unit except in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI, the Members Agreement, and any applicable Incentive Unit Purchase Agreement. Any attempted Transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be deemed null and void for all purposes, and the Company will not record any such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee as the owner of such Unit for any purpose.

11.2 General Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no transferee of any Unit received pursuant to a Transfer (but excluding any transferee that is a Member immediately prior to such a Transfer, who shall automatically become a Member with respect to any additional Units he, she or it so acquires) shall become a Member in respect of or be deemed to have any ownership rights in the Unit so Transferred unless the purported transferee is admitted as a Member as set forth in Section 11.3(i).

- 42 -

(b) Following a Transfer of any Unit that is permitted under this Article XI, the Members Agreement, and any applicable Incentive Unit Purchase Agreement, the transferee of such Unit shall succeed to the Capital Account associated with such Unit and shall receive allocations and distributions under Articles VI, VII, VIII and X in respect of such Unit(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Profits, Losses and other items will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee according to Code Section 706.

(c) Any Member who Transfers all of his, her or its Units in accordance with this Agreement, the Members Agreement, and any applicable Incentive Unit Purchase Agreement (i) shall cease to be a Member upon such Transfer, and (ii) shall no longer possess or have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member of the Company.

11.3 Procedures for Transfer. Subject in all events to the general restrictions on Transfers contained in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.5 and any applicable restrictions in the Members Agreement, a Member may Transfer all or any part of his or its Units in accordance with this Section 11.3.

(i) No transferee of any Unit may be admitted as a Member of the Company until such time as such transferee has executed and delivered to the Secretary a written undertaken to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A. Upon the amendment of the Members Schedule by the Secretary and the satisfaction of any other applicable conditions set forth in Section 11.3(ii) below, such prospective transferee shall be admitted as a Member and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Company and thereupon the Company shall reissue the applicable Units in the name of such prospective transferee. The provisions of this Section 11.3(i) shall not apply with respect to the Transfer of any Unit to a transferee that is a Member immediately prior to such Transfer.

(ii) Unless such delivery is waived by the Company, no Member may Transfer any Restricted Securities (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Company) that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such Transfer. If such opinion of counsel states that no subsequent Transfer of such Restricted Securities will require registration under the Securities Act, the Company will promptly upon such Transfer deliver new certificates for such securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 11.4(b).

11.4 Legend.

(a) The certificates, if any, representing the Units will bear the following legends:

THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF THE

- 43 -

ISSUER (THE ‘COMPANY’), AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME SHALL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO A MEMBERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JUNE 11, 2004, (AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME), AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S MEMBERS, AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH MEMBERS AGREEMENT AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME SHALL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

(b) Each certificate or instrument evidencing Restricted Securities and each certificate or instrument issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Restricted Securities (if such securities remain Restricted Securities after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ‘ACT’), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.

Upon the request of any holder of Restricted Securities, the Company shall remove the Securities Act legend set forth above from the certificates for such Restricted Securities if such Restricted Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) under the Securities Act.

12.12 Parties in Interest. Nothing herein shall be construed to be to the benefit of or enforceable by any Person that is not a party hereto including any creditor of the Company.

- 49 -
