Such changes will be effective upon the effective date of the amendment, assignment, issuance or additional capital contribution, and the Company’s books will be closed as of such effective date so that allocations and distributions in accordance with Article IV can be made to reﬂect such change in Member Interests. The percentages set forth above, as so changed, apply in all circumstances where relevant to determining the extent of each Member’s interest in the Company, including its rights to profits and losses, right to vote on, consent to or otherwise participate in any decision or action to be taken by the Members under this Agreement or the DLLCA.

(b) Units. Each Member’s Member Interest may be stated in terms of “Units.” For such purposes, initially each Member has Units equal to its initial Member Interest percentage (so that, for example, Investments has 51 Units at the date of this Agreement).

2.10 Company Obligations & Rights.

(a) Generally. The Members will cause the Company to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, independently enforce its rights under this Agreement, including those under Article XI and Article XII.

ARTICLE III
Capital Contributions

3.1 Initial Capital Contributions. Immediately after the completion of the Closing, the Book Capital Account of each Member shall be as agreed upon by the parties hereto.

3.2 Additional Capital Contributions and Member Loans.

(a) Mandatory Only If Included in Business Plan. Each Member will make additional capital contributions (“Additional Capital Contributions”) or loans (“Member Loans”) to the Company, but only in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Business Plan as it may be amended from time to time. Neither Member is otherwise required to make Additional Capital Contributions or make Member Loans to the Company.

(b) Procedure.

(i) Generally. All requirements or requests for Additional Capital Contributions or Member Loans will (A) be in a notice delivered to each Member by the Company stating explicitly whether such requirement or request relates to an Additional Capital Contribution or a Member Loan, and stating that such Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan, as applicable, has been approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 5.4 or pursuant to the Business Plan; (B) state the aggregate amount of Additional Capital Contributions or Member Loans, as applicable,

and the amount of each Member’s share of such Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan (which shall in all cases be allocated on a pro rata basis between the Members); and (C) specify the date that the Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan, as applicable, is to be made, which will not be sooner than twenty (20) Business Days following each Member’s receipt of the notice. Except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.3, any amounts paid to the Company pursuant to a notice delivered in accordance with this Section 3.2(b) shall be characterized as an Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan based on how the related requirement or request is characterized in such notice.

(ii) Accompanying Certificate. Each Member will deliver certificates to the Company and to each other, dated as of the date the Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan, as applicable, is to be made, that contain customary representations and warranties relating to authorization, title and such other matters with respect to capital contributions in the form of property (other than cash) as the Members shall reasonably agree. In addition, if Additional Capital Contributions are to consist of property other than cash, such certificate will contain customary representations and warranties as to the ownership and condition of any such property.

(c) Member Loans. Each Member Loan will be evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at a ﬂuctuating rate equal to six percentage points over the Prime Rate, but not in excess of any legally permitted rate of interest (the “Specified Interest Rate”). “Prime Rate” means the prime rate as published in the “Money Rates” table of The Wall Street Journal on the first publication day of the calendar quarter in which the loan was made and as adjusted as of the first publication day of each subsequent calendar quarter until paid. Each Member Loan will (i) be for such term and subject to such security, if any, as determined by the Board of Directors, (ii) if necessary to secure financing for the Company, be subordinated to any other indebtedness of the Company or a portion of it, (iii) become due and payable in the event the Company is dissolved, (iv) rank pari passu with any and all other Member Loans and (v) be non-recourse as to the other Member.

3.3 Failure of a Member to Make Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan. If a Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to make all or a portion of a required Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan within thirty (30) days of when such Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan is due, the other Member (the “Other Member”) may lend an amount equal to such shortfall to the Non-Contributing Member (a “Shortfall Loan”), which amount shall constitute an Additional Capital Contribution or Member Loan by the Non-Contributing Member and shall be secured by the Non-Contributing Member’s Member Interest. Until all accrued interest and principal on the Shortfall Loan is repaid in full (i) the Non-Contributing Member will be liable to the Other Member for the amount of such Shortfall Loan, plus all expenses incurred by the Other Member and the Company in connection with such Shortfall Loan, to be repaid in 20 equal quarterly installments (minus any applicable Shortfall Distributions (as defined below)) plus interest at the Specified Interest Rate; and (ii) any distributions from the Company otherwise due to the Non-Contributing Member will be paid directly to the Other Member and be applied to the interest and principal of the Shortfall Loan (“Shortfall Distributions”). In addition to the foregoing, any Member providing a Shortfall Loan

to another Member shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to recharacterize the Additional Capital Contributions as Member Loans.

3.4 No Withdrawal of or Payment of Interest on Capital. No Member will have any right to withdraw or make a demand for withdrawal of all or any portion of its Book Capital Account. No interest or additional share of profits will be paid or credited to the Members on their Book Capital Accounts.

ARTICLE IV
Allocation of Profits and Losses; Distributions

4.1 Shares of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of Attachment 9, each Member will share in the Company’s book profits and book losses in accordance with its Member Interest. A Member’s share of the taxable income or loss or other tax items of the Company will be determined in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of Attachment 9.

4.2 Distributions. Distributions shall be made as follows:

(a) Distribution of Tax Amount. No later than sixty-five (65) days after the end of the Company’s Fiscal Year, the Company will distribute to each Member its share (based on expected allocations of taxable income for the Fiscal Year to which such distribution relates) of the Tax Amount estimated by the Company to have accrued through the end of the Fiscal Year. To the extent that each Member’s actual allocation of taxable income for the Fiscal Year is later determined to be different than was estimated for purposes of these distributions, such differences will be adjusted against the amounts computed and distributed to each Member for the next Fiscal Year.

(b) Other Distributions. All other distributions shall be made at such times and in such amounts as shall be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 5.4(a).

4.3 No Priority. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member will have priority over any other Member as to the return of capital, allocation of income or losses, or any distribution.

4.4 Other Distribution Rules. Except as provided in Section 4.5 below, (a) no Member will have the right to demand and receive property other than cash in payment for its share of any distribution and (b) distribution of non-cash property may be made with the consent of both Members. The preceding sentence expressly overrides the contrary provisions of DLLCA § 18—605 as to non-cash distributions.

4.5 Liquidating Distribution Provisions. Distributions made upon liquidation of any Member Interest will be made in accordance with the positive Book Capital Account balance of the Member. These balances will be determined after taking into account all Book Capital Account adjustments for the Company’s Fiscal Year during which the liquidation occurs. In the

event of a liquidation of the Company, distributions of the positive Book Capital Account Balance of each Member, if any, will be made as follows:

(a) Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, each non-cash operating asset of the Company contributed to the Company at Closing (as well each non-cash operating asset subsequently purchased by the Company to replace a contributed asset) (each, a “Contributed Operating Asset”) shall be distributed to the Member that contributed such asset, or the asset it replaced as applicable, to the Company. Each non-cash operating asset of the Company that is not a Contributed Operating Asset (each, an “Other Operating Asset” and, together with the Contributed Operating Assets, the “Operating Assets”) shall be distributed to the Member that, as of the date of such distribution, purchases at least 60% of the products manufactured using such Other Operating Asset or, in the case of inventory, uses such Other Operating Asset (such Member, the “Principal Customer” of such Other Operating Asset), in all cases irrespective of whether or not the aggregate fair market value of the Operating Assets distributed to such Member exceeds such Member’s Book Capital Account Balance; provided, however, that in the event that there is no Principal Customer with respect to an Other Operating Asset, such Other Operating Asset shall be distributed pursuant to the determination of the Board of Directors;

(b) To the extent the fair market value of the Operating Assets allocated to a Member pursuant to Section 4.5(a) hereof exceeds such Member’s Book Capital Account Balance (such excess, if any, the “Excess Distribution Amount”), such Member will, except as otherwise agreed by the Members, (i) contribute an amount of cash to the Company equal to the Excess Distribution Amount, (ii) assume additional accrued liabilities of the Company in an amount equal to the Excess Distribution Amount or (iii) contribute cash and assume accrued liabilities such that the total amount of the cash contribution and accrued liabilities assumed equals the Excess Distribution Amount.

The Members shall cooperate reasonably in order to determine the fair market value of the Operating Assets required to be distributed pursuant to this Section 4.5. In the event that the Members cannot agree on the fair market value for one or more Operating Assets, each Member shall, within thirty (30) days of any election or event resulting in dissolution, select a valuation expert (each, an “Initial Valuation Expert”) and cause such expert to deliver a valuation report that sets forth such expert’s determination of the fair market value, together with an analysis of how it determined that fair market value (any such report, a “Valuation Report”). In the event that the Members cannot agree on a fair market value within ten days of the receipt of the Initial Valuation Reports, the two Initial Valuation Experts shall subsequently select a third valuation expert (the “Final Valuation Expert”). Within sixty (60) days after the appointment of the Final Valuation Expert, the Members will cause the Final Valuation Expert to deliver to each Member a final valuation report that sets out such valuation expert’s determination of the fair market value, together with an analysis of how it determined that fair market value (the “Final Valuation Report”); provided, however, that the fair market value determined by the Final Valuation Expert may in no event (i) be less than the lowest value or (ii) be more than the highest value attributed by the Initial Valuation Experts. Each Member will pay the fees and expenses of the Initial Valuation Expert it appoints. The fees and expenses of the Final Valuation Expert shall be borne by the Members in direct proportion to the ratio of (A) the difference between (x) the fair

market value set out in the Initial Valuation Report prepared by the Initial Valuation Expert appointed by such Member and (y) the fair market value set out in the Final Valuation Report over (B) the difference between the fair market values set out in the two Initial Valuation Reports.

If the Company is prohibited by Applicable Law from effecting a liquidating distribution in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.5, then the Members agree that they will cooperate reasonably to effect the sale by the Company of the Operating Assets to each Member in a manner consistent with the allocation set forth in this Section 4.5 (including, without limitation, by providing guarantees from their respective parent companies to creditors of the Company).

4.6 Limitation upon Distributions. No distribution will be made to Members if prohibited by DLLCA § 18—607 or other Applicable Law.

ARTICLE V

(e) Strategic Plan. In addition to the foregoing, the Members shall use reasonable best efforts to complete, within six (6) months of the date hereof, a long-term strategic plan for the Company, which plan shall be updated on an annual basis.

5.8 Dispute Resolution Procedures.

(a) Failure to Approve Certain Actions. If (i) the Board of Directors has disagreed regarding (A) material modifications to the then-current Business Plan and the disagreement has not been resolved at least ten Business Days before the beginning of the next Fiscal Year or (B) any other action listed in Section 5.4(a) when properly submitted to it for a vote, (ii) the Board of Directors approves any resolution or votes to take any action as to which one or both Monaco Directors casts a “no” vote or (iii) (A) a duly called meeting is adjourned because none of the Directors appointed by a Member attends that meeting, (B) none of the Directors appointed by that Member attends a meeting duly called as to the same items of business of the adjourned meeting within thirty (30) days after the adjournment of that first meeting and (C) notice of both meetings complied with Section 5.2(g) (any of which, a “Business Dispute”), then the Directors will consult and negotiate with each other in good faith to find a mutually agreeable solution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any decision of the Board of Directors to adjust or refrain from adjusting an Average Cost Savings Target pursuant to Section 5.12(e) hereof, whether or not in connection with discussions of the Board of Directors relating to the Business Plan, be the basis for a Business Dispute. If the Directors do not reach a solution within ten Business Days from the date the Directors receive notice of such Business Dispute and the failure to reach a solution, in a Member’s judgment, adversely affects the Company or such Member’s interest in the Company (other than immaterial effects), then either Member may initiate the escalation procedures under this Section. No action of the Board of Directors which is the subject of a Business Dispute shall be effective until resolved pursuant to this Section 5.8.

(b) Consideration by Management Representatives. Upon the initiative of either Member, in accordance with Section 5.8(a), the Business Dispute will be referred by the Directors to the Vice President and General Manager, Medium Truck Vehicle Center of International and the President of Monaco (the “Designated Representatives”). The Designated Representatives will meet, consult and negotiate with each other in good faith. If they are unable to agree within twenty Business Days of the date of such referral, then they will adjourn such attempts for a further period of five Business Days during which no meeting will be held. On the first Business Day following such period, the Designated Representatives will meet again in an effort to resolve the Business Dispute. If the Designated Representatives are unable to resolve the Business Dispute within 48 hours after the time at which their last meeting occurred, then Section 5.8(c) will apply.

(c) Mediation. If the Designated Members are unable to resolve the Business Dispute within the 48 hour period set forth in Section 5.8(b), either Member may provide the other Member with a notice for mediation. After delivery of that notice, the Members will attempt in good faith to settle the matter by mediation administered by the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution under its CPR Mediation Procedure. If within 60 days after receipt of the notice for mediation, the mediation does not result in resolution of the Business Dispute, then Section 7.1(a) will apply.

5.9 Standard of Conduct.

(a) Generally.

(i) A Director and each Officer, in managing the business or affairs of the Company, will discharge his duties:

a. in a manner he believes in good faith to be in the best interests of the Company;

b. in a manner he believes in good faith to represent the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances;

c. in good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement;

d. without intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; and

e. without engaging in any transaction for which he receives a personal benefit (or benefit for the Member that appointed him) in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(ii) Except as otherwise set forth herein and for the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing under applicable Delaware law, no Director or Officer has any other duty to the Company, any Member or any other Person.

(b) Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsection (a), a Director or Officer (i) does not violate a duty or obligation under this Agreement or under Applicable Law because the Director’s or Officer’s conduct furthers the interest of a Member (including in the case of a Director, the Member that designated the Director, the Members each acknowledging that each Member has appointed a Director with the expectation that such Director will represent and serve the interest of the Member appointing him) and (ii) without limiting the foregoing clause (i), has no duty or obligation to consider any interest of or affecting the Company, any Member or any other Person.

(c) No Duty of Members. No Member has any duty to the Company or any Member solely by reason of acting in its capacity as a Member, except to refrain from (i) any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing and (ii) any transaction in which the Member receives a personal benefit in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, a Member (A) does not violate any duty or obligation under this Agreement or under Applicable Law because the Member’s conduct furthers its interest and (B) has no duty or obligation to consider any interest of or effect on the Company or any other Person.

(d) Override. The provisions of this Agreement (including this Section 5.9 and Sections 5.10 and 5.11) replace, eliminate and otherwise supplant those duties (including fiduciary duties) that a Member, Manager, Director or Officer might otherwise have under Applicable Law.

5.10 Directors and Officers—Exculpation. No Director or Officer will be personally liable to the Company, any Member or any other Person for monetary damages for any act or omission, including breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties) of a Director or Officer to the Company, any Member or any other Person, except (a) for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or (b) for any transaction for which the Director or Officer received a personal benefit in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement.

5.11 Directors and Officers—Indemnification.

(a) Generally. The Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Director and Officer (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”) in connection with the management of the Company or any entity in which the Company has an interest to the fullest extent permitted under the DLLCA and Applicable Law; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations will not apply (i) unless the Company Indemnified Person (A) acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company and (B) with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful or (ii) to the extent that the act or omission of the Company Indemnified Person involved either (x) any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or (y) any transaction for which the Company Indemnified Person received a personal benefit (or benefit for the Member that appointed him) in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement. The sole source of indemnity under this Section 5.11(a) shall be the assets of the Company, and no Member shall be required to make any additional capital contribution, loan or guarantee (or

provide any other form of financing or credit support) to the Company in order to fund any indemnity obligation pursuant hereto.

(b) Procedure. If a Company Indemnified Person requests indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Board of Directors will cause a determination to be made as to whether indemnification of the Company Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances. Upon any such determination that indemnification is proper, the Company will make indemnification payments of liability, cost, payment or expense asserted against, or paid or incurred by, the Company Indemnified Person to the maximum extent permitted by the DLLCA and Applicable Law.

(c) Defense Counsel.

(i) The Company shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of a claim against a Company Indemnified Person. If the Company elects to assume and control the defense, Company Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Company in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Company Indemnified Person shall be at the expense of the Company Indemnified Person unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, or (B) the Company has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Company and the Company Indemnified Party.

(ii) If the Company shall control the defense of any such claim, the Company shall obtain the prior written consent of the Company Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunction or other equitable relief will be imposed against any Company Indemnified Person or if such settlement does not expressly unconditionally release each Company Indemnified Person from all liabilities with respect to such claim and all other claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances, with prejudice.

(d) Non-Exclusive. The rights accruing to each Company Indemnified Person under this Section will not exclude any other right to which he may be lawfully entitled.

(e) Subsequent Amendment. No amendment, termination or other elimination of this Section or of any relevant provisions of the DLLCA or of any other Applicable Law will affect or diminish in any way the rights to indemnification under this Section with respect to any action, suit or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, any event or act or omission occurring or fact or circumstance existing before the amendment, termination or other elimination.

(f) Continuation of Right to Indemnification. All rights to indemnification under this Section will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or Officer, will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and the estate of that person, and will be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each such person. This Section shall be binding upon any successor to the Company, whether by way of merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or otherwise.

(g) Savings Clause. If this Section or any portion of it is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company will nevertheless indemnify persons specified in this Section to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that has not been invalidated.

5.12 Average Cost Savings.

(a) Purchasing Committee. The Company will establish a steering committee (the “Purchasing Committee”) designed to (i) manage purchasing decisions on behalf of the Company and (ii) report to the Board of Directors on the Company’s progress in realizing on cost savings objectives set forth in this Section 5.12 and the Business Plan. Each of the Company, International and Monaco shall appoint one member of the Purchasing Committee. The initial appointments by each Member shall be director-level appointees of such Member.

(b) Efforts by the Members. The Members shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the Average Cost Savings sufficient to meet the periodic targets set forth in Section 5.12(e) below.

(c) Purchasing Efforts by International. International shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Company to be entitled to make purchases on the same prices and terms as International and its Affiliates under supply agreements entered into by International (or its Affiliates) relating to the supply of component parts used by the Business. International shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to specifically address the purchasing needs of the Company in its future negotiations with suppliers of component parts.

(d) Measurement of Average Cost Savings. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than 10 Business Days, after each Measurement Date, the Purchasing Committee shall submit to the Board of Directors (i) its determination of the Actual Per Unit Cost for each chassis and (ii) its calculation of the Average Cost Savings as of such Measurement Date. For avoidance of doubt, any calculation of the Average Cost Savings shall be made according to the procedures and methodologies which shall be agreed by the parties in writing. The Board of Directors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to approve a final measurement of the Average Cost Savings as soon as practicable after its receipt of the calculation of the Purchasing Committee. If the Board of Directors approves the measurement of the Average Cost Savings pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the calculation of the Average Cost Savings with respect to such Measurement Date shall be final for all purposes related to this Agreement.

(e) Average Cost Savings Targets. In the event that Monaco notifies International that it believes in good faith that the Average Cost Savings was less than as mutually agreed upon by the parties for (i) the first Measurement Date or (ii) for any subsequent Measurement Date ((i) or (ii), as applicable, as adjusted from time to time after the twenty-four-month anniversary of the Closing by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 5.4(a) hereof, the “Goal”) as of any Measurement Date, the Members shall consult with each other as to commercially reasonable actions which they or the Company should consider to address the situation. Without limiting the foregoing, International shall consider, depending upon the results achieved from earlier actions and such other factors that International considers relevant, whether it will take one or more of the following actions:

(i) convene meetings with suppliers in order to seek further price concessions related to components used by the Company;

(ii) deliver written communications to suppliers, where applicable, regarding consolidation efforts / expectations of support and/or denote suppliers’ lack of support, where applicable, on supplier score cards;

(iii) initiate and prioritize (at International’s expense) a VAVE effort with respect to the production processes of the Company; and/or

(iv) discuss the possibility of changing the prices at which International would agree to sell engines to the Company.

In the event that the Company achieves Average Cost Savings of less than Goal as of (A) each Measurement Date during the nine (9) months following the date on which Monaco provided notice pursuant to Section 5.12(e) (such period, the “Cure Period”) and (B) the date on which the Cure Period ends, Monaco shall have the right to dissolve the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b). The calculation of the Average Cost Savings at the end of the Cure Period shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 5.8.

(f) Limitation. Dissolution of the Company in accordance with Articles V and VII shall be the sole remedy of the Parties in the event that any particular levels of Average Cost Savings are not realized. The Parties understand and acknowledge that (1) International is not giving any guarantee or assurance as to its ability to extend its pricing and terms for component parts to the Company, (2) International shall not be required to agree to higher pricing or less advantageous supply terms for its truck, engine, chassis or other business units in order to include the Company in its purchasing arrangements, or to sell engines to the Company at any particular pricing level, (3) neither International nor Monaco shall be required to agree to any change in the design or manufacturing of its chassis (including any “make versus buy” decision) if it concludes in good faith that strategic, safety or other business considerations dictate otherwise, and (4) neither International nor Monaco is providing any indemnity, and neither International nor Monaco shall be subject to any damages, in the event that the Company does not achieve any particular level of Average Cost Savings.

ARTICLE VI
Transfer Restrictions on Member Interests

6.1 Restrictions on Transfer of Member Interests. Except to the extent specifically permitted or required by this Agreement, neither Member may transfer its Member Interest or any interest in it without the prior written consent of the other Member, which consent may be granted or withheld by such party in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if such transfer shall be to an entity that is wholly owned by such party, directly or indirectly (or, in the case of International, wholly owned directly or indirectly by Navistar International Corporation), then such consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the transferring Member (and in the case of International, ITEC) shall continue to be the primary obligor of the obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of this Article, “Transfer” and its derivatives include all forms of direct or indirect transfer or disposition, voluntary or involuntary, by

operation of law, by direct or indirect sale of stock or equity interests, or other direct or indirect change of control of the Member or otherwise, as well as the creation of any Encumbrance on all or any part of a Member Interest; provided, however, that the change of control of Monaco or Navistar International Corporation shall not be deemed a “Transfer” for purposes of this Agreement, unless such change of control constitutes a Change of Control under Section 7.2(a)(vi). The provisions of this Article VI replace, eliminate and otherwise supplant any contrary provisions in the DLLCA (including DLLCA § 18—702) that permit the assignment of a limited liability company interest.

6.2 Effect of Non-compliance.

(a) Non-Permitted Transfers Null and Void. ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER NOT STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE WILL BE VOID AB INITIO AND OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT WHATSOEVER.

(i) to participate in the management, business or affairs of the Company,

(ii) to access to information concerning Company transactions,

(iii) to inspect or copy the Company’s books or records,

(v) Prohibited Transfer. The Member consummates any transaction that does, or agrees to any transaction that would, if consummated, breach or result in a default under Section 6.1.

7.3 Remedies—Upon Default by One Member.

(a) By Non-Defaulting Member A Non-Defaulting Member may, within 90 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of a Default Event, give notice of the Default Event (a “Default Notice”) to the Defaulting Member, electing to dissolve the Company in accordance with Article IX.

(b) Other Remedies.

(i) Generally. The Non-Defaulting Member’s election to dissolve the Company under Section 7.3(a) will not preclude its exercise of whatever rights it may also have under Article XI or at law.

(ii) Certain Other Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no election under Section 7.3(a) will preclude either (A) recourse by either the Defaulting Member or the Non-Defaulting Member to whatever injunctive relief to which it may otherwise be entitled under this Agreement or any Related Agreement or (B) the recourse by the Non-Defaulting Member under Section 2.10 to recover amounts owing to the Company that are not specifically taken into account in the determination of Fair Market Value.

(iii) Fees and Expenses. The Non-Defaulting Member’s legal fees and expenses will be deducted from any distribution otherwise to be made to the Defaulting Member and will be paid to the Non-Defaulting Member or, if the Non-Defaulting Member elects, will be paid by the Defaulting Member to the Non-Defaulting Member.

(c) Effect of Notice. If the Non-Defaulting Member elects in its Default Notice the remedy in Section 7.3(a), it will carry out that dissolution in accordance with Article IX.

7.4 Remedies if Both Members are Defaulting Members. If both Members are, or become, Defaulting Members, simultaneously or sequentially, then (a) the Members and the Manager will proceed as expeditiously as possible to dissolve the Company in accordance with Article IX as though such dissolution resulted from an election pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and

(b) both Defaulting Members will thereafter have whatever rights and remedies available to them under Article XI and under Applicable Law.

7.5 Post-Termination Supply Arrangements. This Section 7.5 applies irrespective of whether either Member is a Defaulting Member. Should the Company be dissolved following a termination event pursuant to this Article VII, Monaco shall enter into a supply agreement to meet International’s demand for diesel rear engine chassis for a period of twelve (12) months following such dissolution on commercially reasonable terms, (and shall include terms substantially similar terms to those contained in Sections 5 through 7 and Sections 9 through 12 of the Supply Agreement, but shall not require that International use Monaco as the exclusive supplier).

Promptly after any election or event resulting in dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, including any election to dissolve pursued under Section 7.3(a), the Board of Directors will proceed to wind up the affairs of the Company in the manner set forth in this Article. After such notice or other event, neither Member will be obligated to provide any additional funds that would otherwise be required by the Company except amounts owing by such Member pursuant to this Agreement or other contractual arrangements.

ARTICLE X
Dispute Resolution

10.1 Generally.

(a) Applies Only to Legal Claims. This Article 10 governs only those disputes that arise under this Agreement, the outcome of which depends solely on whether the Company, a Member or any of its Affiliates is in default of its contractual or other legal obligations (a “Legal Claim”). “Legal Claims” include (i) disputes as to indemnification under Article XI or any of the Related Agreements and (ii) the formation, validity, binding effect, applicability, scope, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

(b) Matters Specifically Not Subject to Article 10 Dispute Resolution Procedures. Without limiting Section 10.1(a):

(i) Business Disputes: any Business Dispute (as defined in Section 5.8) is not considered a Legal Claim subject to resolution under Section 10.2 but will be subject instead to Section 5.8; and

(ii) Injunctive Relief: requests for injunctive or other equitable relief may be brought under Section 10.2.

10.2 Dispute Resolution Procedures

(a) Negotiation. Either Member may give notice of a Legal Claim to the other Member. For a period of 30 days from receipt of the notice, the Members will consult with each other in a good faith effort to resolve the Legal Claim.

(b) Mediation. If the Members do not settle the Legal Claim within the 30-day period set forth in Section 10.2(a), either Member may provide the other Member with a notice for mediation. After delivery of that notice, the Members will attempt in good faith to settle the matter by mediation administered by the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution under its CPR Mediation Procedure.

(c) Binding Arbitration. If within 30 days after receipt of the notice for mediation, the mediation does not result in settlement of the Legal Claim, then the Legal Claim will be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution, in accordance with its Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration. A Member may initiate arbitration by notice to the other Member any time after expiration of 60 days from receipt of notice of the Legal Claim provided for in Section 10.2(a), whether or not mediation has been initiated or completed unless the mediation was completed by agreement of the parties, as reﬂected in a written agreement. Unless the Members agree otherwise, initiation of arbitration will not relieve any Member of its obligation to participate in any mediation initiated under Section 10.2(b).

(d) Arbitration Terms. Any arbitration will comply with the following terms:

(i) Formation of Tribunal. The arbitration tribunal will consist of three arbitrators. One arbitrator will be appointed by each Member and the third will be appointed by the first two. If the first two arbitrators fail to agree on the third arbitrator within 30 days after their appointment, the third arbitrator will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.

The arbitrators will be familiar with the commercial and manufacturing practices of the industry.

(ii) Conduct of Arbitration. The arbitration will take place in and will exclude any right of application or appeal to any court in connection with any question of law or fact arising in the course of the arbitration or with respect to any award made. The United States Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1—16, 201—208, 301—302) will apply and the arbitrators will otherwise apply the law specified in Section 14.11.

(iii) Awards. The arbitration award will be final and binding on the Members, will not be subject to judicial appeal, will not include any punitive damages and will allocate, as appropriate, the costs of arbitration, including legal fees and all related matters. Any monetary award will stipulate a rate of interest, deemed appropriate by the arbitrators, which will run from the date notice of Legal Claim was given until the date when the award is fully satisfied. The arbitration award will be promptly satisfied by the Member against whom it is granted, free of any deduction or offset. Any cost or fee incident to enforcing the award will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the Member resisting enforcement. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to that court for a judicial recognition of the award or an order of enforcement thereof, as applicable. The Company or any Member may bring an action to enforce any award granted under this Section 10.2.

ARTICLE XI
Indemnification

11.1 Survival; Effect of Knowledge; Other.

(a) Survival. Each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement in this Agreement, and in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, survives the Closing only (i) for the time periods specified in Section 11.4 and (ii) as to claims made within those time periods, until resolved.

(b) Relation to Default Provisions. Except as set forth in Section 7.3(b), the fact that a party has an indemnification right under this Article XI will not preclude the exercise of rights under Article VII.

(c) Duty to Mitigate. A Member must use its Best Efforts to mitigate its Damages for which it will seek indemnification or other recovery against the other Member.

11.2 Indemnification—By International. International will indemnify and hold harmless and pay promptly to the Company the amount of any Damages (as defined below) resulting from:

(a) Breach of Representations or Warranties: any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(ii) made by International in connection with the Closing, without giving effect to any exceptions made in such certificate;

(b) Breach of Covenants: any breach by International in the performance of its covenants or obligations in this Agreement; and

(c) Excluded Liabilities of International: any liability, obligation, contractual commitment or other commitment (whether known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) (“Liabilities”) that is not expressly assumed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (“Excluded Liabilities”) of International.

“Damages” means (A) any loss, whether in the nature of a cost, damage, expense, payment, liability or obligation or otherwise, and related attorneys’, accountants’ and other professional advisors’ reasonable fees and expenses (including those as to investigation, prosecution or defense of any claim or threatened claim), whether or not involving a third-party claim, and (B) special, incidental, consequential, punitive or any other damages, but only in the case of Excluded Liabilities and third party claims.

11.3 Indemnification—By Monaco. Monaco will indemnify and hold harmless and pay promptly to the Company the amount of any Damages resulting from:

(a) Breach of Representations or Warranties: any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii) made by Monaco in connection with the Closing, without giving effect to any exceptions made in such certificate;

(b) Breach of Covenants: any breach by Monaco in the performance of its covenants or obligations in this Agreement; and

(c) Excluded Liabilities of Monaco: any Liability of Monaco that is an Excluded Liability.

11.4 Limitations on Indemnification Amount. International will not have any liability for indemnification with respect to the matters described in Section 11.2(a) and Monaco will not have any liability with respect to the matters described in Section 11.3(a) until the total of all Damages with respect to the matters for which the Member is otherwise liable exceeds $50,000 and then only for the amount by which the Damages exceed $50,000. This limitation will not apply to any breaches of a party’s representations or warranties relating to its authority or its title to any property contributed to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no party shall be liable for any amount in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate with respect to the matters described in Section 11.2(a) or 11.3(a) (as applicable). For avoidance of doubt, any indemnification in respect of Excluded Liabilities shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.4.

11.5 Time Limitations. No party will have any liability for indemnification under this Article XI unless the Person claiming the right to be indemnified (the “Indemnified Person”) gives notice to the party from whom indemnification is being sought (the “Indemnifying Person”), on or before the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing, stating that the Indemnified Person has paid or properly accrued for losses, or reasonably anticipates that it will incur liability for a loss for which the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no limitations as to the time for making claims (and such claims shall survive the termination of this Agreement) applies to (i) Excluded Liabilities, (ii) those involving a party’s representations or warranties relating to its authority or its title to any property contributed to the Company or (iii) those involving any covenant to be performed and complied with after the Closing.

11.6 Procedure for Indemnification—Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice. Promptly, and in any event no later than 10 Business Days after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnification of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, the indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the claim; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified Person, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of the Proceeding is prejudiced by the indemnified Person’s failure to give the notice timely.

(b) Participation. If any Proceeding referred to in Section 11.6(a) is brought against an indemnified Person and the indemnified Person gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the Proceeding, the indemnifying party may (i) participate in the Proceeding and (ii) elect by notice to the indemnified Person to assume the defense of the Proceeding with lawyers reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Person unless (A) the indemnifying party is also a party to the Proceeding and the indemnified Person determines in

good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (B) the indemnifying party fails to provide, promptly after giving notice to the indemnified Person, reasonable assurance to the indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend the Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to the Proceeding. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of the Proceeding, (1) the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts the defense, be liable to the indemnified Person under this Section for any fees of other lawyers or any other expenses with respect to the defense of the Proceeding subsequently incurred by the indemnified Person in connection with the defense of the Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation and (2) no compromise or settlement of the claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified Person’s written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified Person and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party.

(c) Right of Indemnified Person to Defend. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified Person may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle the Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

11.7 Procedure for Indemnification—Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim will be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought promptly after becoming aware of the acts or omissions or facts and circumstances on which the claim is based, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified Person, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that it is prejudiced by the failure. That notice is notice of a Legal Claim for purposes of Section 10.1.

11.8 Satisfaction of Indemnification Obligations.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI and in accordance with the deadlines specified in the preceding subsections, an Indemnifying Person will satisfy its liability to the Company for indemnified Damages by paying the amount of the liability to the Company, and will satisfy its liability to any other Indemnified Person by paying the amount of the liability to such Indemnified Person. Payments pursuant to the foregoing will be by wire transfer or by check, as the recipient may direct. In the absence of directions within a reasonable period of time, payment may be made by check.

11.9 Exclusiveness of Remedies. Except (a) as provided in Section 7.3(b) and 11.1(b), (b) for fraud or willful misconduct and (c) subject to the procedures set forth in Article 10, the remedies provided in this Article constitute the sole and exclusive remedies available to the Company and the Indemnified Persons with respect to matters covered in Sections 11.2 and 11.3. Neither the foregoing nor anything else in this Agreement will limit the right of a party or

the Company to enforce the performance of this Agreement or of any Contract, document or other instrument executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement by any remedy available to it in equity, including specific performance. The parties waive any requirement that the Person seeking equitable relief post a bond or other security. For the avoidance of doubt, this Article XI shall not apply to claims arising out of or relating to the performance of the Related Agreements.

ARTICLE XII
Competition

12.1 Competition.

(a) Generally. Each Member will not, and will take all actions necessary to ensure that its Affiliates will not, engage in the activities prohibited by this Section 12.1. For purposes of this Section 12.1, the “Restricted Period” for a Member lasts for so long as it or any of its Affiliates owns any interest in the Company, plus the shorter of (A) any period thereafter during which a Member is obligated to supply chassis to the other Member pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) twelve (12) months.

(b) Exclusive Supplier. The Members agree that the Company shall be the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of all of Workhorse’s production requirements for its current and future portfolio of rear engine diesel recreational vehicle and low-floor bus stripped chassis products (excluding the “Whirlaway” platform) and the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of all of Monaco’s production requirements for all of its current and future rear engine diesel stripped chassis products. The Company hereby grants to Workhorse and Monaco the exclusive right and license to (i) combine (or have third parties combine) the chassis with vehicles bodies or any other components and (ii) resell (or have third parties resell) chassis and any complete vehicles upon which a chassis may be attached to third parties, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that Monaco shall not be permitted to resell chassis to up-fitters (other than Burlington Specialty Vehicles), truck equipment manufacturers or other OEMs (excluding Swagman Motorhomes) but may only resell the chassis (and the associated body) through its dealer network.

(c) Member Activities. Monaco acknowledges and agrees that (i) Workhorse will re-sell the chassis it purchases from the Company to manufacturers of diesel motorhomes and low floor buses, including manufacturers which may compete with Monaco, and (ii) Monaco will use the chassis it purchases from the Company only in its internal production operations (and will not sell stripped chassis to any third party or resell chassis to up-fitters (other than Burlington Specialty Vehicles), truck equipment manufacturers or other OEMs (excluding Swagman Motorhomes), but may only resell the chassis (and the associated body) through its dealer network). Workhorse acknowledges and agrees that Monaco’s finished products may compete with finished products offered by manufacturers that purchase stripped chassis from Workhorse.

(d) Restricted Activities. Neither the Member nor any of its Affiliates will:

(i) Non-Competition: during the Restricted Period, carry on or be engaged, concerned or interested directly or indirectly whether as shareholder, partner,

director, employee, member, agent or otherwise in carrying on any business similar to or competing with the Business anywhere in the United States (other than as a holder of not more than five percent of the issued voting securities of any company listed on any registered national securities exchange);

(ii) Non-Solicitation of Employees: during the Restricted Period, either on its own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person, employ, solicit or entice away or attempt to employ, solicit or entice away from the Company or the other Member, any Person who is or will have been at the date of or within 24 months before any solicitation, enticement or attempt, an officer, Director, consultant or engineering, professional or administrative employee of the Company or of the other Member, whether or not that Person would commit a breach of contract by reason of leaving employment; provided, however, that the foregoing does not restrict a Member from employing any such person who was an employee of that Member while (A) serving as a Director or (B) providing services to the Company (whether as an employee, consultant or otherwise) nor does it restrict a Member’s general advertisements with respect to a position that are not specifically directed to officers, Directors, consultants or engineering, professional or administrative employees of the Company, and provided, further, that the Members may agree from time to time that this Section does not apply to specified persons; and

(iii) Restriction on Use of Trademark and Trade name: at any time hereafter use as a company name, trademark or service xxxx the word “Custom Chassis Products “ or any similar word in a way likely to be confused with the name of the Company.

12.2 Independent Agreements. The agreements set forth in Section 12.1 are, will be deemed, and will be construed as separate and independent agreements. If any agreement or any part of the agreements is held invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability will in no way render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part of the agreements; and Section 12.1 will in that case be construed as if the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted.

12.3 Scope of Restrictions. While the restrictions contained in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 are considered by the Members to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is recognized that restrictions of the nature in question may not be enforced as written by a court. Accordingly, if any of those restrictions are determined to be void as going beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of the interest of the Members, but would be valid if restrictive periods were reduced or if the range of activities or area dealt with were reduced in scope, then the periods, activities or area will apply with the modifications as are necessary to make them enforceable.

ARTICLE XIII
Confidentiality

13.1 Confidentiality—Confidential Information. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article XIII, each Member and the Company will keep confidential, will not

disclose and will otherwise retain in strictest confidence any Confidential Information (as defined in Section 13.3), unless disclosure is (a) approved by both Members or (b) expressly permitted by this Article XIII.

(b) Obligations of the Company. The Company will keep confidential, will not disclose, and will otherwise retain in strictest confidence the Company Information. The foregoing permits the Company to use the Company Information, but the Company will adopt procedures in connection with its use of Company Information that are reasonably expected to prevent that information from becoming publicly available. The foregoing does not limit the Company’s obligations otherwise set forth in this Article XIII, including those in Section 13.5 and Section 13.6.

13.4 Certain Exceptions. The prohibitions in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 will not apply only to the extent that:

(a) Previously in Possession. The disclosing Person (i) demonstrates through written records that the same Company Information was in its possession before disclosure to it and (ii) the disclosing Person provided the Company and each Member with written notice of prior possession either (A) before the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (B) if the disclosing Person later becomes aware of (through disclosure by the Company or otherwise) some aspect of the Company Information as to which it had prior possession, promptly upon its becoming aware of the Company Information;

(b) Existing Product Business. (i) Where Monaco is the disclosing Person, the Company Information or Confidential Information, as the case may be, relates to Monaco’s Product Business or the Monaco Contributed Assets or (ii) where International is the disclosing Person, the Company Information or Confidential Information, as the case may be, relates to International’s Product Business or the International Contributed Assets.

(c) Becomes Public. The disclosing Person demonstrates (i) that the same information is currently publicly available or has become publicly available and (ii) that such public availability does not result from (A) the misappropriation or improper disclosure of such Company Information by the disclosing Person or (B) the obtaining of such Company Information by improper means of the disclosing Person;

(d) Independently Developed. The disclosing Person demonstrates that the same information was developed independently by the disclosing Person without the use of the Company Information;

(e) Legal Obligation to Disclose. The disclosing Person demonstrates that Applicable Law requires it to disclose the Company Information, but then only (i) to the extent disclosure is required and (ii) after giving the Company and each Member notice of the obligation so that it may seek a protective order or other similar or appropriate relief. In the absence of an order or relief, the disclosing Person must use reasonable efforts to have the disclosed information treated confidentially consistent with this Article;

(f) Enforcement of Agreement. The disclosing Person demonstrates that it is reasonably necessary for the disclosing Person to make the disclosure to enforce this Agreement, and then only if the disclosing Person undertakes in good faith to limit the manner and extent of that disclosure to the extent practical including obtaining protective orders from the court or arbitrator from whom enforcement is sought; or

(g) Stock Exchange Rules and Securities Laws. The disclosing Person has determined, in good faith after consultation with outside counsel to the disclosing Person, that disclosure is necessary or desirable in order to comply with applicable stock exchange rules or federal or state securities laws.

13.5 Permitted Disclosure to Representatives. Notwithstanding the prohibitions of this Article, each Member and the Company may disclose the terms of this Agreement and Company Information to its Representatives directly involved with the Company but:

13.7 Continuing Protection of Trade Secrets. Any Trade Secrets of the Company will also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under Applicable Law. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Company Information that the Company deems to be a Trade Secret is not a Trade Secret, or ceases to be a Trade Secret under Applicable Law, then the Company Information will be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Article.

13.8 Remedies. Each Member recognizes that the activities proscribed by this Article will result in irreparable damage and harm to the Company and the Members and that the Company and Members and their Affiliates may be without an adequate remedy at law in the event of any such activities. Therefore, if any of the foregoing Sections of this Article is breached or is threatened to be breached, the Company, each Member, and each of their Affiliates may: (a) obtain specific performance; (b) enjoin any Person that has breached or threatens to breach from engaging in any activity proscribed by this Article; and (c) pursue any one or more of the foregoing or any other remedy available to it under Applicable Law, including actual and/or punitive damages and set-off rights. A Person seeking or obtaining any such relief will not be deemed to be precluded from obtaining any other relief to which that Person may be entitled. Each Member waives on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates any requirement that a Person seeking to enforce this Article submit proof of the economic value of any Trade Secret or post any bond or other security in connection therewith.

13.9 Attorney-Client Privilege. To the extent that any Company Information includes materials subject to the attorney-client privilege, the Company is not waiving and will not be deemed to have waived or diminished its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing any Company

Information (including Company Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to a Member, whether or not the Company has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, those privileges and protections. The Company and the Members: (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in all such Company Information that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in proceedings to which such Company Information covered by those protections and privileges relates; and (c) intend that those privileges and protections remain intact if the Company or any Member becomes subject to any actual or threatened proceeding to which such Company Information covered by such protections and privileges relates. In furtherance of the foregoing, no Member shall claim or contend, in proceedings involving the Company or any Member, that the Company waived its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing any Company Information (including Company Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Member.

13.10 Continuing Obligations. The obligations in this Article will be effective from the date of this Agreement and will bind (a) the Company indefinitely and (b) each Member (i) with respect to the Confidential Information of the Company, for so long as that Member is bound by the non-competition provisions of Article XII and (ii) with respect to the Trade Secrets of the Company, for as long as those Trade Secrets remain trade secrets under Applicable Law.

13.11 No Limitation on Other Agreements. The prohibitions in this Article are in addition to, and will be interpreted as separate and independent from, any similar prohibitions in any agreement between the Company and any of its Representatives that limits the use or disclosure of information concerning the Company.

(f) Allocations pursuant to Section 4.1 and this Section 4.2 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 Book Capital Account or share of book profits, book losses distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Tax Regulations § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Tax Regulations §§ 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Tax Regulations, then items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to that Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Tax Regulations, the adjusted capital account deficit of such

Member as quickly as possible, but an allocation pursuant to this paragraph shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been tentatively made as if this paragraph were not in the Agreement.

(c) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Book Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (i) any amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Tax Regulations §§ 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), then that Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; but an allocation pursuant to this paragraph shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Book Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been made as if this Subsection 4.3(c) and the preceding Subsection 4.3(b) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Member Interests.

(e) IRC § 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to IRC § 734(b) or IRC § 743(b) is required, pursuant to Tax Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or § 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Book Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Book Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Tax Regulation § 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event Tax Regulation § 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

4.4 Regulatory Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 4.3 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Tax Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the 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. However, offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction shall be made, in whatever manner the Members deem appropriate, so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Book Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Book 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 Agreement without regard to the Regulatory Allocations. In exercising their discretion under this Section, the Members will take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 4.3 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 4.3.

4.5 IRC § 754 Election. If requested by a Member, the Company will make the election under IRC § 754 to adjust the basis of Company property pursuant to IRC §§ 734 and 743.
