8

liability company interest” as is provided in the Act. The Company shall be the owner of the Property. No Member shall have any ownership interest or right in the Property, including Property conveyed by a Member to the Company, except indirectly by virtue of a Member’s ownership of a Membership Interest.

(b) Persons may be admitted to the Company as Members on such terms and conditions as the Board determines at the time of admission. The terms of admission or issuance must specify the Membership Interest applicable thereto and may provide for the creation of different classes or groups of Members having different rights, powers, and duties. The Board may reflect the creation of any new class or group of Members in an amendment to this Agreement indicating the different rights, powers, and duties, and such an amendment shall be approved by the Board and executed by the Proper Officers.

(a) Unless otherwise granted to the Board of Directors in the Certificate or this Agreement, the Member shall possess the entire voting interest in all matters relating to the Company, including, without limitation, matters relating to the amendment of this Agreement, any merger, consolidation or conversion of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the termination, dissolution and liquidation of the Company.

5.3 Access to Information. Each Member shall be entitled to receive any information that it may request concerning the Company; provided, however, that this Section 5.3 shall not obligate the Company to create any information that does not already exist at the time of such request (other than to convert existing information from one medium to another, such as providing a printout of information that is stored in a computer database). Each Member shall also have the right, upon reasonable Notice, and at all reasonable times during usual business hours to inspect the properties of the Company and to audit, examine and make copies of the books of account and other records of the Company.

5.4 Liability.

(a) No Member shall be liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company.

(b) The Company and the Members agree that the rights, duties and obligations of the Members in their capacities as members of the Company are only as set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise arise under the Act. Furthermore, the Members agree that the existence of any rights of a Member, or the exercise or forbearance from exercise of any such rights shall not create any duties or obligations of the Member in their capacities as members of the Company,

9

nor shall such rights be construed to enlarge or otherwise alter in any manner the duties and obligations of the Members.

5.5 General Disposition Restriction. A Member may not Dispose of all or any portion of its Membership Interests except in strict accordance with this Article V. References in this Article V to Dispositions of a Membership Interest shall also refer to Dispositions of a portion of a Membership Interest. Any attempted Disposition of a Membership Interest, other than in strict accordance with this Article V, shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio. Each Member agrees that a breach of the provisions of this Article V may cause irreparable injury to the Company and to the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedy at law) are inadequate in view of (a) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with such provision and (b) the uniqueness of the business and the relationship among the Members. Accordingly, each Member agrees that the provisions of this Article V may be enforced by specific performance.

5.6 Admission of Assignee as a Member. An Assignee has the right to be admitted to the Company as a Member, with the Membership Interests (and attendant Percentage Interest) so Transferred to such Assignee, only if (a) the Member making the Disposition (a “Disposing Member”) has granted the Assignee either (i) all, but not less than all, of such Disposing Member’s Membership Interests or (ii) the express right to be so admitted; and (b) such Disposition is effected in strict compliance with this Article V.

5.7 Requirements Applicable to All Dispositions and Admissions. Any Disposition of Membership Interests and any admission of an Assignee as a Member shall also be subject to the following requirements, and such Disposition (and admission, if applicable) shall not be effective unless such requirements are complied with; provided, however, that the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive any of the following requirements:

(a) Disposition Documents. The following documents must be delivered to the Board and must be satisfactory, in form and substance, to the Board:

(i) Disposition Instrument. A copy of the instrument pursuant to which the Disposition is effected.

(ii) Ratification of this Agreement. With respect to any Disposition, an instrument, executed by the Disposing Member and its Assignee, containing the following information and agreements, to the extent they are not contained in the instrument described in Section 5.7(a)(i): (A) the Notice address of the Assignee; (B) the Percentage Interests after the Disposition of the Disposing Member and its Assignee (which together must total the Percentage Interest of the Disposing Member before the Disposition); (C) the Assignee’s ratification of this Agreement and agreement to be bound by it; and (D) representations and warranties by the Disposing Member and its Assignee (1) that the Disposition and admission is being made in accordance with Applicable Laws, and (2) that the matters set forth in Section 5.7(a)(i) and this Section 5.7(a)(ii) are true and correct.

10

(iii) Opinions. With respect to any Disposition, such opinions of counsel regarding tax and securities law matters as the Board, in its sole discretion, may require.

The Disposing Member and its Assignee shall pay, or reimburse the Company for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Disposition and admission of the Assignee as a Member, including the legal fees incurred in connection with the legal opinions referred to in Section 5.7(a)(iii).

(c) No Release. No Disposition of Membership Interest shall effect a release of the Disposing Member from any liabilities to the Company or the other Members arising from events occurring prior to the Disposition.

ARTICLE VII

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Limitation of Liability; Indemnification. None of the Members, Directors or officers of the Company will be liable to the Members, the Company or PVG for (a) any action or inaction except to the extent such Person acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct in the performance of such Person’s duties to the Company, the Members or PVG, (b) any action or inaction arising from reliance upon the opinion or advice as to legal matters of legal counsel or as to accounting matters of accountants selected by any of them in good faith or (c) any action or inaction of any agent, contractor or consultant selected by any of them in good faith.

7.2 Limitation of Liability. No Person will be liable to the Company, its Members or PVG for any loss, damage, liability or expense suffered by the Company, its Members or PVG on account of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person as a Director or an officer of the Company or by such Person while serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, if such Person discharges such Person’s duties in good faith, and in a manner such Person reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or PVG. The liability of a Director or an officer hereunder will be limited only for those actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Person in the discharge of such Person’s obligations in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Company or any Other Enterprise. The foregoing limitation of liability will apply to all Directors and officers of the Company.

7.3 Right to Indemnification. The Company will indemnify each Person who has been or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate (regardless of whether such action, suit or proceeding is by or in the right of the Company or by third parties) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member, Director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, against all liabilities and expenses, including judgments, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ fees and expenses, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, fines and other expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (including the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding); provided, however, that the Company will not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any Person on account of such Person’s conduct that was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct; provided, further, that the Company will not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any Person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such Person unless the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors; provided, further, that a Director or officer will be indemnified hereunder only for

16

those actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Director or officer in the discharge of such Director’s or officer’s obligations in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Company, PVG or any Other Enterprise. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or under a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that such Person’s conduct was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct. The foregoing right to indemnification will apply to all Persons serving as Directors or officers and to all Persons who serve as a representatives of the Company at any time or who serve at any time at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise. Nothing herein prevents one or more of the Members or PVG from indemnifying their respective representatives or directors or officers under such Member’s or PVG’s organizational documents or other agreements. If any Person is entitled to indemnification both from the Company, from a Member or from PVG, then indemnification would come first from PVG, then the Company and thereafter from the Member.

7.4 Enforcement of Indemnification. If the Company refuses to indemnify any Person who may be entitled to be indemnified or to have expenses advanced under this Article VII, such Person may maintain an action in any court of competent jurisdiction against the Company to determine whether or not such Person is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder. If such court action is successful and the Person is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, such Person will be reimbursed by the Company for all fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any such action (including the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action).

7.5 Advancement of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in defending an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate, will be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it is ultimately be determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification by the Company. No advance will be made in instances where the Board of Directors acting on the advice of the Company’s General Counsel or independent legal counsel, or alternatively, independent legal counsel, for the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such Person would not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

7.6 Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and the advancement of expenses provided by this Article VII is not exclusive of any other rights to which those Persons seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, or any agreement, vote of the Board of Directors, policy of insurance or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding their respective offices, and will not limit in any way any right that the Company may have to make additional indemnifications with respect to the same or different Persons or classes of Persons. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII will continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Member, Director, officer or representative of the Company or PVG, and as to a Person who has ceased serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person.

17

7.7 Insurance. The Board of Directors may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Member, Director, officer, agent, employee or representative of the Company or PVG, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power, or the obligation, to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

7.8 Amendment and Vesting of Rights. The rights granted or created hereby will be vested in each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder as a bargained-for, contractual condition of such Person’s being or serving or having served as a Director, officer or representative of the Company or serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise and, while this Article VII may be amended or repealed, no such amendment or repeal will release, terminate or adversely affect the rights of such Person under this Article VII with respect to any (a) act taken or the failure to take any act by such Person prior to such amendment or repeal or (b) action, suit or proceeding concerning such act or failure to act filed after such amendment or repeal.

7.9 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII, references to:

(a) The “Company” includes, in addition to the resulting or surviving limited liability company, any constituent limited liability company (or other entity) (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger so that any Person who is or was a member, manager, director or officer of such constituent limited liability company (or other entity), or is or was serving at the request of such constituent limited liability company (or other entity) as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise will stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving limited liability company (or other entity) as such Person would if such Person had served the resulting or surviving limited liability company (or other entity) in the same capacity;

(f) “officer” includes an “authorized person” who is authorized to act on behalf of the Company pursuant to the terms hereof, whether or not such Person has been designated an officer of the Company.

7.10 Severability. If any provision of this Article VII or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of this Article VII and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby and, to the fullest extent possible, the court finding such provision invalid, illegal or unenforceable must modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all Persons and to give the maximum possible protection to Persons subject to indemnification hereby within the bounds of validity, legality and enforceability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Member, Director, officer or representative of the Company or any Person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, is entitled under any provision of this Article VII to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the judgments, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ fees, penalties, ERISA excise taxes, fines or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any such Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company will nevertheless indemnify such Person for the portion thereof to which such Person is entitled.
