OFFICERS
     4.1 Officers.
          (a) The Manager or its delegee may, from time to time, employ and retain Persons as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business, including employees, agents and other Persons (any of whom may be a Member). The Manager or its delegee may designate officers of the Company (“Officers”), with titles including but not limited to “chief executive officer,” “chief investment officer,” “chairman,” “president,” “vice president,” “treasurer,” “secretary,” “assistant secretary,” “general counsel,” “chief compliance officer,” “chief financial officer” and “chief operating officer.” Any number of titles may be held by the same person. Officers need not be residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or Members. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Manager or its delegee may, from time to time, delegate to them; provided that, in the absence of an express delegation of authority and duties, such persons shall have the authority and duties normally associated with such offices. Each Officer so designated shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated or until his death, resignation or removal. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager or its delegee.

16


 

          (b) 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 be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Company. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, at any time by the Manager. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create any contractual or employment rights.
          (c) The Officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Company duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
     4.2 Management Policies. The initial management policies of the Company will be the same as the general policies and programs of TIP immediately preceding the date hereof.
ARTICLE 5
DISTRIBUTIONS
     5.1 Distributions.
          (a) Except as provided in Section 5.2, the Manager, in its discretion, may authorize distributions by the Company to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
          (b)
               (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Manager reasonably determines that the Net Profits of the Company for a Fiscal Year will give rise to net taxable income for the Members or, in the case of Founders, any of its equity holders or equity holders of such equity holders (after giving effect to cumulative Net Losses from prior Fiscal Years available to offset such Net Profits), the Manager shall cause the Company to distribute available cash for purposes of allowing the Members or, in the case of Founders, any of its equity holders or equity holders of such equity holders, to fund their respective income tax liabilities (the “Tax Advances”). The Tax Advances payable with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be computed based upon the Manager’s estimate of the net taxable income attributable to Net Profits of the Company for such Fiscal Year (after giving effect to cumulative Net Losses from prior Fiscal Years available to offset such Net Profits), multiplied by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax Amount”). For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the effect of any benefit to a Member under Section 743 of the Code, if any, will be ignored. Tax Advances shall be distributed to the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, but in no event shall the distributed amount exceed the available working capital of the Company, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Manager.

17


 

               (ii) Tax Advances shall be calculated and paid no later than one day prior to each quarterly due date for the payment of estimated taxes under the Code in the following manner: (i) for the first quarterly period, 25% of the Tax Amount, (ii) for the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Advances for the Fiscal Year, (iii) for the third quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Advances for the Fiscal Year and (iv) for the fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Advances for the Fiscal Year. Following each Fiscal Year, and no later than one day prior to the due date for the payment by individuals or corporations, whichever is earlier, of income taxes for such Fiscal Year under the Code, the Manager shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”), and shall cause the Company to distribute a Tax Advance, subject to the availability of working capital, to the extent that the Final Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative Tax Advances previously made by the Company in respect of such Fiscal Year. If the Final Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax Advances previously made by the Company in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (the “Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Advances made to the Members for subsequent Fiscal Years. Any Credit Amount applied against future Tax Advances shall be treated as an amount actually distributed pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) for purposes of the computations herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may make additional Tax Advances subsequent to the Final Tax Amount if it determines that additional Tax Advances are appropriate for such prior Fiscal Year.
               (iii) Any Tax Advances made to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be repaid to the Company by reducing the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or 9.3 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any Member which exchanges any or all of the Membership Units Beneficially Owned by such Member for shares of Class A Common Stock and such Member received Tax Advances, prior to such exchange, Tax Advances that resulted in a Credit Amount, then such Member shall not be required to repay to the Company any such Tax Advances Credit Amount.
          (c) A Member shall have the status of, and is entitled to the remedies available to, a creditor of the Company with regard to distributions that such Member becomes entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement and the Act.
          (d) For the avoidance of doubt, payments that the Company makes to a Member with regard to services that such Member provides to the Company shall be treated as guaranteed payments under Section 707(c) of the Code and will not be considered distributions for purposes of this Section 5.1
     5.2 Liquidation Distribution. Distributions made upon liquidation of the Company shall be made as provided in Section 9.3.
     5.3 Withholding. Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state,

18


 

local or foreign taxes that the Manager determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld by the Company pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Manager that such payment must be made unless (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to such Member or (ii) the Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Company which would, but for such payment, be distributed to such Member. Any withheld amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member.
     5.4 Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its Membership Units if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable Law. The Company shall not make a distribution to the extent that all liabilities of the Company exceed the fair value of the assets of the Company.

               (iii) The Asset Value of any property distributed to such Member by the Company; and
               (iv) The amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or taken subject to or in connection with the contribution of property by such Member to the Company.
The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code and, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this

          (b) In the event the Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
          (c) Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 6.7 shall be made by the Manager in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement; provided that, the Company shall elect to apply the traditional allocation method permitted by the Regulations; provided, however, with respect to intangibles contributed to the Company, the Company shall elect to apply the traditional allocation method with “back-end” curative allocations as provided for in Treas. Reg. §1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B). Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.7 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 Member’s Capital Account, share of Net Profit, Net Loss or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

     6.8 Tax Decisions. From the date hereof until the date prior to the IPO Date, TIM shall be the “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and, on and after the IPO Date, TI shall be the “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”). The Company shall file as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes, except where otherwise required by Law. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Company, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state or local tax matters of the Company, shall be made by the Tax Matters Member, in consultation with the Company’s attorneys and/or accountants; provided that, the Company shall make an election under Section 754 of the Code promptly following the date hereof. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member shall keep the other Members reasonably informed as to any tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Company and shall submit to the other Members, for their review and comment, any settlement or compromise offer with respect to any disputed item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Company shall send to each Member a copy of IRS Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable state or local income tax Law, with respect to such Fiscal Year. The Company also shall provide the Members with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Members to prepare and file their own tax returns.
     6.9 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 6.6 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the maximum extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.9. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Manager shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner the Manager determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to this Article 6 without regard to the Regulatory Allocations. In exercising its discretion under this Section 6.9, the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 6.6 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 6.6.
ARTICLE 7
BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS

At all times during the continuance of the Company, the Company shall prepare and maintain separate books of account for the Company that shall show a true and accurate record of all costs and expenses incurred, all charges made, all credits made and received and all income derived in connection with the

24


 

operation of the Company business in accordance with GAAP. Such books of account shall at all times be maintained at the principal place of business of the Company and shall, solely to the extent required under applicable Law, be open to inspection and examination at reasonable times by each Member and its duly authorized representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall keep at its principal office the following:
          (a) a current list of the full name and the last known street address of each Member;
          (b) a copy of the Certificate of Organization and this Agreement and all amendments thereto;
          (c) copies of the Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most recent years;
          (d) copies of any financial statements, if any, of the Company for the six most recent Fiscal Years; and

The Company shall retain any net proceeds that are paid directly to the Company.
     8.5 Registered and Private Offerings and Class A Common Stock Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

     9.5 Termination. The Liquidation Agent shall promptly file the Certificate of Dissolution with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the manner required by the Act when all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, have been distributed to the holders of Membership Units in the manner provided for in this Article 9. The existence of the Company shall cease upon the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the manner required by the Act.
     9.6 Claims of the Members. The Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member or any other Person. No Member with a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Company or to the other Members or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance upon dissolution or termination of the Company or otherwise.

34


 

otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and neither any Member nor the Manager shall be obligated or liable for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company. Except as otherwise provided by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the debts, obligations and liabilities of any Member, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liability of such Member and neither any other Member, the Manager (in its capacity as such) nor the Company shall be obligated or liable for any such debt, obligation or liability of such Member.
     10.2 Indemnification by the Company.
          (a) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless an Indemnified Representative against Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding in which the Indemnified Representative may be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact the Indemnified Representative is or was a Member, the Manager, a director or officer of TI, an officer of the Company, a subsidiary of the Company, an officer or director of a subsidiary (or a Person holding a similar position in a subsidiary that is not a corporation), or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, company, partnership, employee benefit plan joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification under this Section 10.2 shall not be available to an Indemnified Representative where the conduct of the Indemnified Representative has been finally determined by a court in an order not subject to further appeal to constitute willful misconduct or recklessness.
          (b) For the purposes of this Section 10.2 and Article 11:
               (i) “Expenses” means losses, damages, claims (including third party claims) charges, interest, taxes, costs, judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements, fees and costs (including court filing fees, court costs, arbitration fees or costs, witness fees, and fees and disbursements of legal counsel, investigators, expert witnesses, consultants, accountants and other professionals).
               (ii) “Indemnified Representative” means a Member, the Manager, a director or officer of TI, an officer of the Company, a subsidiary of the Company (and its officers and directors, or Persons occupying similar positions in a subsidiary that is not a corporation) and any other Person designated as an Indemnified Representative by the Manager.
               (iii) “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, appeal or other proceeding of any nature, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether formal or informal, and whether brought by or in the right of any of the Company, the Manager, a class of either of their security holders or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a derivative action brought by shareholders of TI against one or more Persons who are or were directors of officers of TI, but to which the Company is not a party, is a Proceeding.

35


 

          (c) If an Indemnified Representative is entitled to indemnification in respect of a portion, but not all, of any Expenses to which such Person may be subject, the Company shall indemnify such Indemnified Representative to the maximum extent for such portion of the Expenses.
          (d) The termination of a Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the Indemnified Representative is not entitled to indemnification.
          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.2, the Company shall not indemnify under this Section 10.2 an Indemnified Representative for any Expense incurred in a Proceeding initiated (which shall not be deemed to include counter claims or affirmative defenses) or participated in as an intervenor or amicus curiae by the Person seeking indemnification unless such initiation of or participation in the Proceeding is authorized, either before or after its commencement, by the Manager. This Section 10.02(e) does not apply to reimbursement of Expenses incurred in successfully prosecuting or defending an action relating to the right to indemnification, contribution or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section 10 or otherwise successfully prosecuting or defending the rights of an Indemnified Representative granted by or pursuant to this Section 10.2.
          (f) The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in good faith by an Indemnified Representative in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding described in Section 10.2(a) or the initiation of or participation in which is authorized pursuant to Section 10.2(d) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Representative to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court in an order not subject to further appeal that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.2. Neither action by the Manager nor confirmation of the financial ability of an Indemnified Representative to repay an advance shall be a prerequisite to the making of such advance. The advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Representative may be entitled.
          (g) To further effect, satisfy or secure the indemnification obligations provided herein or otherwise, the Company may maintain insurance, obtain a letter of credit, act as self-insurer, create a reserve, trust, escrow, cash collateral or other fund or account, enter into indemnification agreements, grant a security interest in any assets or properties of the Company, or use any other mechanism or arrangement whatsoever in such amounts, at such costs, and upon such other terms and conditions as the Manager shall deem appropriate. Absent fraud, the determination of the Manager with respect to such amounts, costs, terms and conditions shall be conclusive against all security holders, officers and directors and shall not be subject to voidability.
          (h) If indemnification is available to an Indemnified Representative pursuant to this Section 10.2, an Indemnified Representative shall be

36


 

entitled to indemnification within 30 days after a written request for indemnification has been delivered to the Manager.
          (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10.2 or otherwise is unavailable for any reason in respect of any Expense or portion thereof, the Company shall contribute to the payment of the amount of Expenses for which indemnification is not available in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the intent of this Section 10.2.
          (j) Each Person who shall act as an Indemnified Representative shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon the rights of indemnification, contribution and advancement of expenses provided by this Section 10.2.
          (k) The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and other legal successors of an Indemnified Representative.
          (l) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the Company (including insurance and any agreements pursuant to which the Company and indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification), and the Members shall not, in such capacity, be subject to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.
          (m) No Person shall be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 10.2 because such Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
          (n) All rights under this Section 10.2 shall be deemed a contract between the Company and each Indemnified Representative pursuant to which the Company and each Indemnified Representative intend to be legally bound. Any repeal, amendment or modification hereof shall be prospective only and shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.
ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS
     11.1 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or Indemnified Representative. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto and any affected Indemnified Representatives shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as

37


 

closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible, or in any case involving an Indemnified Representative so that indemnification, contribution or advancement of expenses shall be available to the fullest extent possible.

               (i) execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices: (A) this Agreement, all certificates and other instruments and all amendments thereof which the Manager deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification of, the Company as a limited liability company in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in all other jurisdictions in which the Company may conduct business or own property; (B) all instruments which the Manager deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (C) all conveyances and other instruments or documents which the Manager deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including a Certificate of Dissolution; and (D) all instruments relating to the admission or withdrawal of any Member pursuant to Article 2 or transfer of Membership Units of a Member pursuant to Article 8; and

The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any Member and the transfer of all or any portion of his or its Membership Interest and shall extend to such Member’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives.

     11.6 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and Indemnified Representatives and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

This Agreement and any other certificate, instrument, agreement or document required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in “pdf” or similar format, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail attachment in “pdf” or similar format to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or as an attachment to an electronic mail message as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. A facsimile signature or electronically scanned copy of a signature shall constitute and shall be deemed to be sufficient evidence of a party’s execution of this Agreement, without necessity of further proof. Each such copy shall be deemed an original for purposes of this Section 11.8, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
     11.9 Further Assurances. Each party shall perform all other acts and execute and deliver all other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
     11.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.
     11.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
          (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.
          (b) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any claim, action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be heard and determined in any Pennsylvania Commonwealth or federal court sitting in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding) and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding in any

40


 

such court or that any such claim, action, suit or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
          (c) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

          (b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (other than a failure or delay beyond a period of time specified herein) shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
     11.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, except that in the case of Section 10.2 hereof, the Indemnified Parties and

Accordingly, the parties hereby waive the benefit of any rule of Law or any legal decision which would require that in cases of uncertainty, the language of a contract should be interpreted most strongly against the party who drafted such language.
     11.18 Certain Legal Matters. This Agreement was prepared by counsel for the Company and such counsel does not represent the interests of any of the Members, other than Founders and TI. The interests of such other Members may in certain instances conflict with those of the Company. Each Person signing this Agreement (i) understands and agrees that this Agreement contains legally binding provisions and has certain financial and tax consequences for Members, (ii) has had the opportunity to consult with an independent lawyer regarding such provisions and consequences, and (iii) has either consulted such a lawyer or consciously decided not to consult such a lawyer.
