(d)           Any issuance of Units to the Managing Member other than pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.3(c) (a “Dilutive Issuance”) shall be at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Unit; provided, however, that with respect to any Dilutive Issuance of Class A Units, the Fair Market Value shall be equal to (i) the average of the

12

closing prices of the Class A Common Stock for each of the consecutive ten (10) trading days ended on the second Business Day prior to such issuance of Units, multiplied by (ii) the then-applicable Exchange Ratio.

(e)           So long as a Sponsor Member holds at least three percent (3%) of the number of Class A Units outstanding immediately following the closing of the IPO and related purchase of Class A Units by the Managing Member with the proceeds therefrom, the Company shall not make any Dilutive Issuance of any Units other than Class A Units to the Managing Member, and so long as a Sponsor Member holds any Class A Units, the Company shall not make any Dilutive Issuance of any Units to the Managing Member if such issuance, together with all other such issuances made during the 365 day period ending on the date of such issuance, would cause the percentage of Class A Units (together with all other common equity securities of the Company) held by all Members other than the Managing Member to decrease by more than 0.5% during such period (ignoring, for the purposes of this calculation, Units purchased by Members pursuant to the following sentence).  Concurrently with each Dilutive Issuance, each Member shall have the right to purchase, at the same price and on the same terms on which the Managing Member is purchasing Units in such Dilutive Issuance, up to (at the discretion of such Member) such number of the same type of Units as would be necessary for such Member to beneficially own the same percentage of all such Units outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance as such Member beneficially owned immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance.

3.4.         Member’s Interest. A Member’s Units shall for all purposes be personal property. A Member has no interest in specific Company property.

3.5.         Certificates Representing Units; Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Registration and Transfer of Units.

(a)           Units shall not be certificated unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member.  If the Managing Member determines that one or more Units shall be certificated, each such certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the Company, by the Chief Executive Officer and any other officer designated by the Managing Member, representing the number of Units held by such holder. Such certificate shall be in such form (and shall contain such legends) as the Managing Member may determine. Any or all of such signatures on any certificate representing one or more Units may be a facsimile, engraved or printed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b)           If Units are certificated, the Managing Member may direct that a new certificate representing one or more Units be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery to the Managing Member of an affidavit of the owner or owners of such certificate, setting forth such allegation. The Managing Member may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

13

(c)           Upon surrender to the Company or the transfer agent of the Company, if any, of a certificate for one or more Units, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, in compliance with the provisions hereof, the Company shall issue a new certificate representing one or more Units to the Person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member may prescribe such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, Transfer and registration of Units.

3.6.         Transfer Agent, Exchange Agent and Registrar. The Managing Member may appoint one or more transfer agents, one or more exchange agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates representing one or more Units, if any to bear the signature of any such transfer agents, exchange agents or registrars.

3.7.         Interest as a Security. An Interest in the Company shall constitute a security for all purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, as in effect in Delaware or any other applicable jurisdiction. Delaware law shall constitute the local law of the Company’s jurisdiction in its capacity as the issuer of Interests.

3.8.         Spousal Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except as otherwise determined by the Managing Member, it shall be a condition precedent for admittance (and continued admittance) of any natural person as a Member of the Company that the spouse of such natural person, if any, execute and deliver to the Company a spousal consent in the form provided by the Managing Member.

14

equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so redeemed multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, upon the same terms and for the same aggregate price, as such shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed.

4.5.         Withdrawal of Funds or Loans.

(a)           No Member shall be permitted to make a loan to the Company without the prior approval of the Managing Member. Any loan made by a Member to the Company shall not be considered a Capital Contribution, shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Member, and the amounts of any such loan shall be returned to the Member in accordance with the terms of such loan.

(b)                                 Without the prior approval of the Managing Member, no Member shall be entitled to borrow or withdraw any amount from the Company.

(b)                                 Upon the Transfer of Units after the Effective Date, so much of the Capital Account of the Transferor Member as is attributable to the Transferred Interest will be carried over to the Transferee Member.

(c)                                  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6 and Sections 5.1 through 5.7 are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. If the Managing Member, with the advice of the Company’s tax advisors, shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts are computed in order to comply with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations, the Managing Member may

15

make such modification; provided that the Members are notified in writing of such modification prior to its effective date; provided, further, that the Managing Member shall have no liability to any Member for any exercise of or failure to exercise any such discretion to make any modifications permitted under this Section 4.6.

17

(b)                                 Tax Distributions.

(i)                                     Subject to Section 5.12 and the terms of any credit, financing and warehousing or similar agreement entered into in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, no later than the tenth (10th) day following the end of each Quarterly Estimated Tax Period of each calendar year, the Company shall, to the extent of available cash of the Company, make a distribution in cash (each, a “Tax Distribution”), pro rata in accordance with the Percentage Interests in effect with respect to such Quarterly Estimated Tax Period, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the product of (x) the taxable income of the Company attributable to such Quarterly Estimated Tax Period and all prior Quarterly Estimated Tax Periods in such calendar year, based upon (I) the information returns filed by the Company, as amended or adjusted to date, and (II) estimated amounts, in the case of periods for which the Company has not yet filed information returns, multiplied by (y) the Assumed Tax Rate, over (ii) distributions made by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.10(b) with respect to such calendar year.  The Managing Member shall use conventions similar to those adopted pursuant to Section 5.9(a) to determine the Percentage Interests of the Members with respect to a Quarterly Estimated Tax Period for purposes of applying this Section 5.10(b).  For purposes of the computations required by clause (i)(x) above, the taxable income of the Company shall be determined by disregarding any adjustment to the taxable income of any Member that arises under Section 743(b) of the Code and is attributable to the acquisition by such Member of an interest in the Company in a transaction described in Section 743(a) of the Code.  For the avoidance of doubt, Tax Distributions shall be made to all Members in respect to the Units that they hold, including on account of unvested Class A Units..

(ii)                                  Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 5.10(b), if any, shall be made in respect of a Quarterly Estimated Tax Period only to the extent that all previous distributions from the Company in respect of the applicable Fiscal Year (as determined by the Managing Member) to such Member are less than the Tax Distributions that such Member would otherwise be entitled to receive for such Quarterly Estimated Tax Period and all prior Quarterly Estimated Tax Periods during such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 5.10(b)(i).

(iii)                               Neither the Managing Member nor the Company shall take any action or enter into any agreement that has the effect of limiting the Company’s ability to make distributions under this Section 5.10(b), other than pursuant to credit, financing, warehousing or similar agreements that only prohibit or restrict the ability to make distributions under this Section 5.10(b) (x) upon the occurrence of a default or event of default or (y) where the making of such distributions would result in a default or event of default (other than a default or event of default resulting solely from the breach of a covenant that prevents the making of such distributions other than upon the existence of, or where such distribution would result in, a separate default or event of default) on the making of such distribution, without the consent of BlackRock Member or Highfields Member so long as such Member holds any Class A Units.

(c)                                  Tax Withholding. To the extent the Company is required by applicable Law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any

18

Member (“Tax Advances”), the Managing Member is hereby authorized to withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All amounts withheld pursuant to applicable Law with respect to any Member (and not paid to the Company by such Member pursuant to the immediately following sentence) shall be treated as distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 5.10(a) or Section 5. 10(b), as reasonably determined by the Managing Member, for all purposes of this Agreement and shall reduce amounts such Member would otherwise be entitled to receive under Section 5.10(a) or Section 5.10(b), as applicable. To the extent that at any time any such withheld amounts exceeds the distributions that such Member would have received but for such withholding, such Member shall, upon demand by the Company, as determined by the Managing Member, promptly pay to the Company the amount of such excess. Each Member hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability (including any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member.

(d)                                 Conventions and Special Rules.  For purposes of calculating allocations for GAAP book purposes and amounts to be distributed under Section 5.10, all Units shall participate in allocations for GAAP book purposes and distributions of such income only for each interim fiscal period that such Units were outstanding at the end of such interim fiscal period (it being understood that the forfeiture of any Units to or buy back of any Units by the Company shall mark the beginning of a new fiscal period and amounts payable with respect to Units redeemed by the Company shall be determined as the amount payable if such Units were redeemed by the Company as of the last day of the month immediately prior to the date of the redemption), and such obligation shall continue even as to a Person who ceases to be a Member.

5.11.                     Distributions In-Kind. If any distribution of the Company’s assets is to be made in-kind, as determined by the Managing Member, such assets shall be valued on the basis of their Fair Market Value. No Member shall be entitled to the distribution of any specific Company Property, and the Managing Member may liquidate any Company property, within its sole discretion, for the purpose of making a cash distribution in lieu of an in-kind distribution.

5.12.                     Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of such Member’s Interest in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable Law.

5.13.                     No Recourse.  Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all distributions with respect to the Company and shall have no recourse, upon dissolution or otherwise, against any Member or the Managing Member, except to the extent provided in this Agreement.

(b)                                 Exculpation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Person who has an interest in or claim against the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement; provided that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of (i) acts or omissions by such Covered Person not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of Law, or (ii) any transaction from which such Covered Person derived an improper personal benefit. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.1 shall not exculpate a Member from a breach of this Agreement by such Member or any other agreement between such Member and the Company or any Affiliates of the Company.

(c)                                  Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnification provisions under this Section 6.1 are applicable shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Article VI.

(d)                                 Indemnification. In addition to the advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 6.1(c), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company agrees to indemnify, pay and hold each Covered Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including any interest and penalties, out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Covered Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Covered Person shall be designated a party thereto), whether absolute, accrued, conditional or otherwise and whether or not resulting from third party claims (collectively, “Indemnifiable Losses”), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Covered Person, in any manner relating to or arising out of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company; provided that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses incurred by such Covered Person by reason of (i) acts or omissions by such Covered Person not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of Law, or (ii) any transaction from which such Covered Person derived an improper personal benefit; provided, further, that any indemnity payment under this Section 6.1(d) shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only

20

(including available insurance), and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.1(d) shall not provide indemnification to a Member resulting from a breach of this Agreement by such Member or any other agreement between such Member and the Company or any Affiliates of the Company or with respect to any action or proceeding brought by such Covered Person against the Company, its Members, Affiliates or officers without the consent of the Managing Member (other than a proceeding to enforce the rights of such Covered Person under Section 6.1).

(e)                                  Good Faith Reliance. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Members might properly be paid.

(f)                                   Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, if any portion of this Section 6.1 shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Covered Person and may indemnify each employee or agent of the Company as to costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Company, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(g)                                  Survival. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Covered Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of such Covered Person.

(h)                                 Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 6.1 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a Covered Person may be entitled at Law or in equity, including common law rights to indemnification or contribution (if any). Nothing in this Section 6.1 shall affect the rights or obligations of any Covered Person (or the limitations on those rights or obligations) under any other agreement or instrument to which such Covered Person is a party.

(i)                                     Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation.

(i)                                     The Company hereby acknowledges that certain Covered Persons have certain rights to indemnification or insurance provided by the Sponsors Members and certain of their Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to each Covered Person are primary and those of the Fund Indemnitors are secondary), it shall be liable for

21

the full amount of all Indemnifiable Losses to the extent legally permitted and that it irrevocably waives any claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any Covered Person with respect to any claim for which such Covered Person has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Covered Person against the Company.

(ii)                                  Except as provided in paragraph (i) above, in the event of any payment of Indemnifiable Losses under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of contribution or recovery of the Covered Person against other persons (other than the Fund Indemnitors), and the Covered Person shall take, at the request of the Company, all reasonable action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

6.2.                            Corporate Opportunities.

(a)                                 Certain Acknowledgment.  In recognition and anticipation that: (i) the partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers or employees of BlackRock Members and the Highfields Members and their respective Affiliates may serve as directors or officers of the Managing Member, (ii) the BlackRock Members and the Highfields Members and their respective Affiliates may engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Managing Member, the Company or the Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Managing Member, the Company or the Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (iii) the Company and the Subsidiaries may engage in material business transactions with BlackRock Members and the Highfields Members and their respective Affiliates, the provisions of this Section 6.2 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve BlackRock Members and the Highfields Members and their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, managers or employees, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its officers, directors and Members in connection therewith.

(b)                                 Competition and Corporate Opportunities.  The BlackRock Members and Highfields Members and their respective Affiliates shall not have any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Managing Member, the Company or the Subsidiaries.  In the event that BlackRock Members or Highfields Members or any of their respective Affiliates acquire knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for itself and the Managing Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, neither the Company, the Subsidiaries nor the Members shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity, and none of the BlackRock Members, the Highfields Members or any of their respective Affiliates shall, to the fullest

extent permitted by law, have any duty to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or the Members and may pursue or acquire such corporate opportunity for itself or direct such corporate opportunity to another Person unless such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such Person in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or the Managing Member.

(c)                                  Allocation of Corporate Opportunities.  In the event that a director or officer of the Managing Member or the Company who is also a partner, principal, director, officer, member, manager or employee of a BlackRock Member or a Highfields Member or any of their respective Affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for the Managing Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and a BlackRock Member or a Highfields Member or any of their respective Affiliates, neither the Company, the Subsidiaries or any Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity unless such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such person in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or the Managing Member.

(d)                                 Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities.  In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Managing Member or the Company, respectively, if it is a business opportunity that the Managing Member or the Company, respectively, is not contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Managing Member’s or the Company’s respective businesses or that is one in which the Managing Member or the Company, respectively, has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

(e)                                  Renouncement.  In connection with the foregoing, the Managing Member and the Company renounce any interest or expectancy in, or being offered an opportunity to participate in, the business opportunities not allocated to the Managing Member or the Company or deemed to belong to the Managing Member or the Company as set forth in this Section 6.2.

6.3.                            Duties.

(a)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 6.3(b)) or any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, the parties hereby agree that the Members, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, owe no duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, the other Members or any other Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement; provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.3 shall eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.  To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, to another Member or to another Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement, the Members acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Company, to any such other Member or to any such other Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement, for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate

23

the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Member otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Members relating thereto.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), the Managing Member shall owe fiduciary duties to the Company and the other Members of the type owed by directors of a Delaware corporation pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, and shall be entitled to the exceptions and protections afforded to the directors, in each case by Delaware statutory and common law (including Section 141(e) of the Delaware General Corporate Law).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Managing Member shall be deemed to act through the actions of its directors, officers and employees.

6.4.                            D&O Insurance. The Company shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained a customary “directors’ and officers’ insurance” policy in respect of the Covered Persons who are directors, officers or managers of the Company or the Managing Member in a face amount determined by the Managing Member.

Article VII
Board and Officers

7.1.                            Management of the Company.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the sole, absolute and exclusive direction of the Managing Member, which may from time to time delegate authority to officers or to others to act on behalf of the Company.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1(a) and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member shall have the sole power to manage or cause the management of the Company, including the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, in all matters relating to or arising out of the conduct of the operation of the Company, the decision of the Managing Member shall be the decision of the Company.  The Managing Member shall conduct all of its business activities through the Company and the Subsidiaries.

(b)                                 The Managing Member is an agent of the Company for the purpose of its business, and any act of the Managing Member, or any officer or employee to whom the Managing Member has delegated such authority, taken in its or his capacity as such, including the execution in the name and on behalf of the Company of any contract, agreement or instrument or the making in the name and on behalf of the Company of any expenditures or the incurrence in the name and on behalf of the Company of any indebtedness shall bind the Company unless such act is in contravention of the Certificate of Formation or this Agreement or unless the Managing Member or such other Person otherwise lacks the authority to act for the Company in respect of such matter and the

24

Person with whom the Managing Member or such other Person is dealing has knowledge of the fact that it or he does not have such authority.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, as long as BlackRock Member or Highfields Member holds any Class A Units, the Company shall not (i) enter into any transaction with the Managing Member (other than the issuance of Units by the Company to the Managing Member as contemplated under Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.3 or as otherwise contemplated under this Agreement) or (ii) convert the legal form of the Company into a corporation, in each case, without the consent of BlackRock Member and Highfields Member, as applicable, so long as such Sponsor Member holds any Class A Units.

7.2.                            Officers.

(a)                                 Designation and Appointment.  The Managing Member may, from time to time, employ and retain Persons as the Managing Member deems necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business, including employees, agents and other Persons (any of whom may be a Member) who may be designated as officers of the Company, with such titles as and to the extent authorized by the Managing Member.  Any number of offices may be held by the same Person.  In its discretion, the Managing Member may choose not to fill any office for any period as it may deem advisable.  Officers need not be residents of the State of Delaware or Members.  Any officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Managing Member may from time to time delegate to them.  Unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member, officers shall have such authority and perform such duties that a person holding the comparable office in a Delaware corporation customarily has.  Each officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated and qualified or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.  The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Managing Member.  Designation of an officer shall not of itself create any right of employment.

(b)                                 Resignation and Removal.  Any officer may resign as such at any time.  Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by the Managing Member.  The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation.  All employees, agents and officers shall be subject to the supervision and direction of the Managing Member and may be removed, with or without cause, from such office by the Managing Member and the authority, duties or responsibilities of any employee, agent or officer may be suspended by or altered the Managing Member from time to time, in each case in the discretion of the Managing Member.

(c)                                  Duties of Officers.  The officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Company and the Members fiduciary duties of the type owed by officers of a Delaware corporation pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware.

25

7.3.                            Certain Costs and Expenses.  The Company shall (i) pay, or cause to be paid, (A) all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of the Company (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants or other professionals and the compensation of all personnel providing services to the Company) incurred in pursuing and conducting, or otherwise related to, the activities of the Company, (B) all costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Managing Member in connection with the IPO, other than the payment obligations of the Managing Member under the Tax Receivable Agreement (which, for purposes of clarity, shall not include the costs to administer the Tax Receivable Agreement but shall include the costs, if any, incurred in connection with any dispute that arises under the Tax Receivable Agreement) and the income, or similiar franchise, tax obligations of the Managing Member, and (ii) bear or reimburse the Managing Member for any costs, fees or expenses incurred by it in connection with serving as the Managing Member.  To the extent that the Managing Member determines in good faith that such expenses are related to the business and affairs of the Company or the Subsidiaries (including expenses that relate to the business and affairs of the Company or the Subsidiaries and that also relate to other activities of the Managing Member), the Managing Member may cause the Company to pay or bear all expenses of the Managing Member, including costs of securities offerings not borne directly by Members, board of directors compensation and meeting costs, cost of periodic reports to its stockholders, litigation costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs and franchise taxes, provided that the Company shall not pay or bear any income tax obligations of the Managing Member.

7.4.                            Negative Covenants. Neither the Company, the Managing Member, nor any officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company, shall take any action, or omit to take action, the result of which would, or would reasonably be likely, to cause the Company to be in violation of any provision of the Bank Holding Company Act.

Article VIII
Members

8.1.                            Limitations. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, no Member who is not also the Managing Member, in its capacity as such, shall participate in or have any control over the business of the Company. Except as required law or by separate agreement with the Company, no Member who is not also the Managing Member (and acting in such capacity) shall have any right, authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the Company in its capacity as a Member in any respect or assume any obligation or responsibility of the Company or of any other Member.

8.2.                            No Voting Rights.  Except as set forth in Section 3.3(a), Section 5.10(b)(vi) and Section 12.1, no Member who is not also the Managing Member shall have any right to vote on any matter involving the Company.  In no manner limiting the foregoing, the Members acknowledge that no Member shall be permitted to vote on the removal or replacement of the Managing Member.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.2 to the contrary, in no event shall any Employee Member have any right to vote, consent or approve under this Agreement.

8.3.                            Liability. Subject to the provisions of the Act, and except as set forth herein, no Member shall be personally liable for any obligations or liabilities of the Company or any other Member solely by reason of being a Member.   Prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company, no Member may resign or withdraw from the Company without the consent of the Managing Member except pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with Article IX.

26

8.4.                            Meetings of Members and Voting.

(a)                                 Call of a Meeting. A meeting of the Members entitled to vote on any matter for which voting is permitted hereunder as provided in Section 8.2 may be called at any time by the Managing Member or by a BlackRock Member or Highfields Member provided that such Member holds Class A Units representing at least five percent (5%) of the Class A Units outstanding immediately following the closing of the IPO and related purchase of Class A Units by the Managing Member with the proceeds therefrom.

(b)                                 Notice. Meetings of the Members shall be held at the Company’s principal place of business or at any other place, within or without the State of Delaware, designated by the Managing Member. In the alternative, meetings may be held by conference telephone; provided that each of the Members participating can hear the others. Not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days before each meeting, the Person(s) validly calling the meeting shall give notice of the meeting to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice shall state the time, place and purpose(s) of the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each Member who is entitled to notice waives notice if, before or after the meeting, the Member signs a waiver of notice which is then filed among the records of Members’ meetings, or the Member is present at the meeting in person or by proxy, other than for the express limited purpose of objecting to the notice provided. Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by such Person as the Members may designate by a majority vote of the Members having Voting Rights attending the meeting.

(c)                                  Quorum. Unless this Agreement provides otherwise, at a meeting of Members entitled to vote on any matter, a quorum is constituted by the presence, in person or by proxy, of Members holding a majority of the then outstanding vested Class A Units that have Voting Rights, which majority shall include the Class A Units held by each Sponsor Member so long as such Sponsor Member holds at least five percent (5%) of the Class A Units outstanding immediately following the closing of the IPO and related purchase of Class A Units by the Managing Member with the proceeds therefrom; provided that all of the Class A Units held by a Sponsor Member shall be deemed to be present at such meeting if holders of a majority of the Class A Units held by such Sponsor Member are present at such meeting.

(d)                                 Proxies. Each Member may authorize any Person to act for such Member by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Member or such Member’s attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three (3) years from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it unless otherwise provided in such proxy; provided, that such right to revocation shall not invalidate or otherwise affect actions taken under such proxy prior to such revocation.

(e)                                  Voting. If the Managing Member has fixed a record date, each Member holding vested Class A Units is entitled to one (1) vote for each vested Class A Unit outstanding in such Member’s name at the close of business on such record date

27

provided such votes shall be subject to Section 8.2.  If no record date has been so fixed, then every Member holding such vested Class A Unit shall be entitled to one (1) vote as provided in the preceding sentence for each vested Class A Unit outstanding in such Member’s name on the close of business on (i) the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, (ii) for actions taken in lieu of a meeting, the day on which the first consent in respect of the applicable action is executed and delivered to the Company or (iii) if notice is waived, the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.  Such decisions of the Members holding Class A Units within the scope of their authority shall be binding upon the Company, the Managing Member, the officers of the Company and each Member.

(f)                                   Actions Without a Meeting. In lieu of holding a meeting, the Members entitled to vote on any matter may vote or otherwise take action by a written instrument indicating the consent of (i) the Members holding no less than the minimum number of Class A Units required to approve such action at a meeting and (ii) each Sponsor Member if so required under this Agreement for such vote or action; and all Members entitled to vote but not executing the consent shall receive prompt notice after the minimum number of Members holding Class A Units required to approve such action have executed the consent.

(g)                                  Record Date.  Unless a record date has been set by the Managing Member, for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this subsection, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

8.5.                            Return of Distribution.  In accordance with the Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member.  It is the intent of the Members that no distribution to any Member pursuant to Article V shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act.  The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Member shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Company or any other Person.  However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

8.6.                            Representations and Warranties. Each Member (as to itself only) upon its execution of this Agreement and upon becoming a Member, represents and warrants to the Company and each other Member, individually (on a several and not joint basis), as follows:

29

transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer instructions will be issued to such transfer agent with respect to the Interests;

(f)                                   such Member’s financial situation is such that such Member can afford to: (i) bear the economic risk of holding the Interests for an indefinite period; and (ii) suffer the complete loss of such Member’s investment in the Interests;

(i)                                     unless such Member is an Employee Member (solely in respect of such Employee Member’s receipt of Class A Units), such Member is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and, in connection with the execution of this Agreement, agrees to deliver such certificates to that effect as the Managing Member may request; and

(j)                                    such Member’s principal place of business or principal residence is as set forth on Schedule A.

8.7.                            No State Law Partnership.

8.8.                            Additional Members.

(a)                                 Except as otherwise provided herein (including Article IX), the Company, if approved by the Managing Member, may admit one or more additional Members (each an “Additional Member”) to be treated as a “Member” for all purposes under this Agreement.

9.1.         Restrictions on Transfers of Interests by Members.  No Member (excluding the Managing Member) may Transfer, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of its Interests or any rights therein (economic or otherwise) to any other Person without the prior written consent of the Managing Member, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:

31

(a)                                             the prior written consent of the Managing Member shall not be required in connection with a Transfer that is made (i) with respect to any Transfer to the Company or the Managing Member (including pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), (ii) with respect to a Transfer by a BlackRock Member, a Transfer to any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. or an Affiliate of BlackRock, Inc., (iii) with respect to a Transfer by a Highfields Member, a Transfer to a Member or other owner of HC Partners, LLC or an Affiliate of HC Partners, LLC, (iv) with respect to BlackRock Member or Highfields Member, a Transfer to any entity described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code that is a bona fide gift without consideration (a “Charitable Transfer”), or (v) at any time six (6) months after the Effective Date, during any time period when the Managing Member is in material breach of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement or during any period when the Managing Member has delayed the filing of a registration statement or the registration statement is otherwise not available for use pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (provided that such Member complies with all confidentiality obligations hereunder with respect to such Transfer); provided that, except as provided in Section 12.1 and except for Transferees that are Blackrock Members or Highfields Members, any such Transferee in any transfer that is the subject of this clause (a) shall acquire Class A Units without Voting Rights and, in all cases, the Transferring Member shall not retain the Voting Rights with respect to such Transferred Units;

(b)           with respect to any Management Member, the consent of the Managing Member shall not be unreasonably withheld in connection with Transfers of Units (excluding unvested Units) desired to be made by a Management Member solely for estate planning purposes; and

9.2.                            Effect of Assignment. The Company shall, from the effective date of any permitted Transfer of an Interest (or part thereof), thereafter pay all further distributions on account of the Interest (or part thereof) so Transferred to the assignee of such Interest (or part thereof).

9.3.                            Overriding Provisions.

(a)                                 Any Transfer in violation of this Article IX shall be null and void ab initio, and the provisions of Section 9.2 shall not apply to any such Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made or attempted in violation of

32

Article IX shall not become a Member, shall not be entitled to vote on any matters coming before the Members and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Member of the Company. The approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future instance. The Managing Member shall promptly amend Schedule A to reflect any permitted Transfer of Interests pursuant to this Article IX.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9.1), in no event shall any Member Transfer any Interests to the extent such Transfer would:

(i)                                     result in the violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable federal, state or foreign laws;

(ii)                                  be a violation of or a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in an acceleration of any indebtedness under, any note, mortgage, loan agreement or similar instrument or document to which the Company or the Managing Member is a party;

(b)                                 Each Employee Member has attached hereto on Schedule 13.3(b) a list describing all Work Product made or developed by him or her prior to the Effective Date which relates to the Company’s or its Affiliates’ business or proposed business, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”).  If no such list is attached, such Employee Member represents that no such Prior Inventions exist or that any such Prior Invention has already been assigned to the

42

Company by him or her.  If, while the Employee Member is a Member or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, such Employee Member incorporates into a product of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by such Employee Member or in which such Employee Member has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, reproduce, modify, adapt, distribute, display, perform, use, import, offer to sell and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.

(c)                                  Each Employee Member agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in securing the Company’s rights in and to the Work Product and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries.  Such assistance shall include the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights, and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto.  Each Employee Member further agrees that his or her obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in his or her power to do so, any such instrument or papers, shall continue after the termination of his or her employment or Member status or this Agreement.  If the Company is unable because of an Employee Member’s mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure his or her signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign intellectual property rights including patents or copyright registrations covering Work Product or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as provided herein, then such Employee Member hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as such Employee Member’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in such Employee Member’s behalf to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of such intellectual property rights including letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by him or her.

(d)                                 Each Employee Member agrees to maintain adequate and current written records on the development of all Work Product and to disclose promptly to the Company all Work Product and relevant records, which records will remain the sole property of the Company.  The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified by the Company.  Each Employee Member further agrees that all information and records pertaining to any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention, discovery, improvement, technology, computer program, original work of authorship, design formula, discovery, patent, or copyright that he or she does not believe to be Work Product, but is conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by him or her (alone or with others) while he or she was a Member or an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be promptly disclosed to the Company (such disclosure to be received in confidence).

(e)                                  Each Employee Member knows of no existing agreement to which he or she is a party that would conflict with this Section 13.3 of the Agreement.  Each Employee Member understands and acknowledges that he or she has been advised, pursuant to Section 2872 of the California Labor Code, that the provisions of this Agreement requiring the

43

assignment of inventions do not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, which provides:

“(a)                           Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

(1)                                 Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

(2)                                 Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.”

13.5.                     Survival. The covenants set forth in this Article XIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall continue to be binding on an Employee Member or Management Member in his or her personal capacity after such Member ceases to hold any Interests.

It is agreed by all parties to this Agreement that a breach of any provision contained in this Article XIII will result in irreparable harm and continuing damages to the Company and its business, and that the Company’s remedy at Law for any such breach or threatened breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, it is agreed that, in addition to such other remedies at Law or in equity as may be available to the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction may issue an immediate injunction or other equitable relief (without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages) enjoining and restricting any breach or threatened breach of this Article XIII.

13.7.                     Blue Pencil. If any provision of this Article XIII is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, including the geographic or business scope or the duration of the covenants herein, such provision shall be construed, reduced or reformulated by the court in such a way as to make it valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible. Any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Article XIII shall attach only to such provision and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provisions of this Article XIII, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument.

Article XIV
General Provisions

14.1.                     Confidentiality.

(a)                                 Confidential Information of the Company. Each Member (excluding the Managing Member) agrees (as to itself only) that such Member will at all times:

(i)                                     hold in the strictest confidence and shall neither use in any manner detrimental to the Company or any Subsidiary, or disclose, publish, divulge or make

44

accessible, directly or indirectly, to any Person, any Confidential Information of the Managing Member, the Company or any Subsidiary, without the prior written consent of the Managing Member;

(ii)                                  exercise all reasonable efforts to prevent third parties from gaining access to such Confidential Information of the Managing Member, the Company or any Subsidiary;

(iii)                               inform all other employees and agents, to whom such Member discloses Confidential Information of the Managing Member, the Company or any Subsidiary, of the proprietary interest and nature of such Confidential Information and of the recipient’s obligations under Company policy to keep such information confidential; and

(iv)                              take such other protective measures as may be or become reasonably necessary to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information of the Managing Member, the Company or any Subsidiary.

(b)                                 Confidential Information of Members. Each Member (excluding the Managing Member) and each Principal of a Member (excluding the Managing Member) agrees at all times not to disclose, publish, divulge or make accessible, directly or indirectly, to any Person, any Confidential Information of any Member or any Affiliate of such Member to any Person without the prior written consent of such Member.

(c)                                  Confidential Information of Third Parties. The Company may, from time to time, enter into agreements or business relationships with third party vendors or suppliers of information as a result of which Employee Members may have access to Confidential Information proprietary to such third parties (“Third Party Confidential Information”). The use and disclosure by Employee Members of Third Party Confidential Information shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Section 14.1 and shall be in strict compliance with any existing agreement between the Company and the third parties to hold such information confidential. From time to time, the Company enters into such agreements with third parties. Prior to using any Third Party Confidential Information, Employee Members are required to inquire whether and to what extent the use of such Third Party Confidential Information is governed by an existing agreement and must comply with the terms of any such agreement.

(d)                                 Restricted Information. In addition to the foregoing, the Company may at times develop appropriate information barriers to assure that restricted information related to Clients and Prospective Clients is not improperly communicated or disclosed to other Employee Members within the Company; provided that any such barriers shall require the approval of the Managing Member.  Employee Members who have reason to believe that they may be subject to an information barrier are required to inquire of with the General Counsel of the Company as to the applicability and terms of any such barrier.

(e)                                  Exceptions to Disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 14.1, each Member (and each

45

Principal of a Member) may divulge or communicate Confidential Information: (i) to officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, interest holders or employees of the Company or such Member or Principals (or their respective Affiliates) and, with respect to any Sponsor Member and its Affiliates, to any investors or prospective investors of such Sponsor Member or its Affiliates, and to auditors, counsel and other professional advisors to such Persons and the Company; provided, however, that such Persons have a need to know and have been informed of the confidential nature of the information, and, in any event, the Person disclosing such information shall be liable for any failure by such Persons to abide by the provisions of this Section 14.1; (ii) where the disclosure of Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or governmental body, or by any Law, or by subpoena, summons or any other administrative or legal process, or by applicable regulatory standards, in which case the disclosing party will (except as prohibited by Law) provide the Company or the Person whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed, as applicable, with prompt, prior written notice of such compelled disclosure and the opportunity to prevent or limit such disclosure; or (iii) to any Person in connection with the proposed transfer of all or any portion of such Member’s Class A Units in compliance with Article IX of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Person either (x) agrees to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with this Section 14.1 and such transferring Member shall be liable for such Person’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 14.1, or (y) signs a confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect to any such Confidential Information.

(f)                                   Return of Confidential Information. Upon an Employee Member ceasing to be an employee or a Member of the Company, at the request of the Company, such Person and each Principal of such Person shall deliver to the Company only, and shall not retain for such Person’s or anyone else’s use, any and all records, files, memoranda, documents and materials of any type, and all copies, excerpts and notes thereof containing (in whole or in part) any Confidential Information or in any way relating to the employee or Member’s relationship with the Managing Member, the Company, any Subsidiaries or any Clients, customers, prospective customers or Clients, services, projects, programs or business of the Managing Member, the Company or any Subsidiary of which such employee, Member or Principal obtains knowledge during the term of this Agreement.

(g)                                  The covenants set forth in this Section 14.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall continue to be binding on a Member in its, his or her personal capacity after such Member ceases to hold any Interests.

14.2.                     Further Assurances. Each Member shall execute all such certificates and other documents and shall do all such filing, recording, publishing and other acts as the Managing Member or an officer of the Company reasonably deems appropriate to comply with the requirements of Law for the formation and operation of the Company and to comply with any Laws relating to the acquisition, operation or holding of the Company Property, including (a) any documents that the Managing Member deems necessary or appropriate to continue the Company as a limited liability company in all jurisdictions in which the Company or any Subsidiary conducts or plans to conduct business and (b) all such agreements, certificates, tax statements and other documents as may be required to be filed in respect of the Company.

46

Any notice, demand, consent, election, offer, approval, request, or other communication (collectively, a “notice”) required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and either delivered personally, sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or sent by recognized overnight delivery service, electronic mail (e-mail) or by facsimile transmittal. Any notice sent by confirmed e-mail or facsimile must be sent simultaneously by another method described in the prior sentence. A notice must be addressed: (a) if to a Member, to such Member’s last known address as set forth on Schedule A or at such other address as such party may designate from time to time by written notice to the Company; and (b) if to the Company, to the Managing Member.

Any party may designate, by notice to all of the others, substitute addresses or addressees for notices; thereafter, notices are to be directed to those substitute addresses or addressees.

14.4.                     Specific Performance. The parties recognize that irreparable injury will result from a breach of any provision of this Agreement and that money damages will be inadequate to fully remedy the injury. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, any party which may be injured (in addition to any other remedies which may be available to that party) shall be entitled to one or more preliminary or permanent orders (a) restraining and enjoining any act which would constitute a breach or (b) compelling the performance of any obligation which, if not performed, would constitute a breach.

14.5.                     Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exchange Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Members with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes all prior agreements or arrangements (written and oral), including any prior representation, statement, condition or warranty between the Members relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, including the Prior Operating Agreement and the Prior Equity Incentive Plans (except to the extent, and for the limited purpose, specifically stated in Section 3.2(a)).

14.6.                     Power of Attorney.  Each Member (other than BlackRock Member and Highfields Member) hereby irrevocably appoints the Managing Member as such Member’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, each acting alone, in such Member’s name, place and stead, (a) to make, execute, sign and file all instruments, documents and certificates which, from time to time, may be required to set forth any amendment to this Agreement or which may be required by this Agreement or by the laws of the United States of America, the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Company shall determine to do business, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, and (b) to execute, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence of the Company or to qualify and continue the Company as a foreign limited liability company in

47

all jurisdictions in which the Company may conduct business. Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent withdrawal from the Company of any Member for any reason and shall survive and shall not be affected by the disability or incapacity of such Member.

14.7.                     Applicable Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)                                 The Members hereby agree that all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule, notwithstanding that public policy in Delaware or any other forum jurisdiction might indicate that the Laws of that or any other jurisdiction should otherwise apply based on contacts with such state or otherwise.

(b)                                 Each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each party hereto also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security thatmight be required of any other party hereto with respect thereto. The parties hereto each agree that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which it is subject by a suit upon such judgment.

(c)                                  EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14.7(c).

48

14.8.                     References to this Agreement; Headings. Unless otherwise indicated, “Articles,” “Sections,” “Subsections”, “Clauses”, “Exhibits” and “Schedules” mean and refer to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Clauses, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement. Words such as “herein,” “hereby,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole, unless the context indicates otherwise. All headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to define or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement. All exhibits and schedules referred to herein, and as the same may be amended from time to time, are by this reference made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein.

14.9.                     Binding Provisions. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective personal and legal representatives, heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns.

14.10.              Construction. Common nouns and pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person, Persons or other reference in the context requires. Every covenant, term and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Member. Any reference to the Act, Code or other statutes, laws, or regulations (including the Regulations), forms or schedules shall include any amendments, modifications, or replacements thereof.  Any reference to any agreement, contract or schedule, unless otherwise stated, shall include any amendments, modifications, or replacements thereof.  Whenever used herein, “or” shall include both the conjunctive and disjunctive unless the context requires otherwise, “any” shall mean “one or more,” and “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” “Member” or “members” and “limited liability company” or “limited liability companies” shall be substituted in and for references to “partner” or “partners” and “partnership” or “partnerships,” respectively, in the Code, Regulations and any pronouncements by the Internal Revenue Service.

14.11.              Severability. It is expressly understood and agreed that although the parties consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable and necessary for the purpose of, among other things, preserving the goodwill, proprietary rights and going concern value of the Company, if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any party or circumstance shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any party or circumstance other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law so long as the economic or legal substance of the matters contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares or finds that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, or to delete specific words or phrases, and to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  If such court of competent jurisdiction does not so replace an invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original

49

intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the matters contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

14.12.              Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts and delivered via facsimile or .pdf, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document. The signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.

14.13.              No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Covered Persons, who shall be intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement with the right to directly enforce this Agreement as if signatories hereto, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, provide or create any rights or benefits of any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.  Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company or any creditor of a Member (and no such creditor shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement).

14.14.              Mutual Drafting. The parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by attorneys throughout the transactions contemplated hereby who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of Laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement or any agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, and therefore waive their effects.

14.15.              Waiver of Partition. No Member or any successor-in-interest to any Member shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have any Company assets partitioned, and each Member, on behalf of itself, its successors, representatives, heirs and assigns, hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Members that during the term of this Agreement the rights of the Members and their successors-in-interest, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the rights of any Member or successor-in-interest to Transfer of any interest in the Company shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions of this Agreement.

14.16.              Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive the right to use any or all other remedies. Such rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by Law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.  No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.
