and absolute discretion.

acquired and held in its name or in the names of trustees, nominees, or straw
parties for the Company. It is expressly understood and agreed that the manner
of holding title to the Company's property (or any part thereof) is solely for
the convenience of the Company, and all of that property shall be treated as
Company property.

9.3 Specific Performance. The parties recognize that irreparable injury may
result from a breach of any provision of this Agreement and that money damages
may be inadequate to fully remedy the injury. Accordingly, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach of one or more of the provisions of this Agreement,
any party who may be injured (in addition to any other remedies which may be
available to that party) shall be entitled to one or more preliminary or

breach or (ii) compelling the performance of any obligation which, if not
performed, would constitute a breach.

exclusive statement of the agreement among the Members. It supersedes all prior
written and oral statements, including any prior representation, statement,
condition, or warranty.
9.5 Applicable Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
and interpretation of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations
imposed by this Agreement shall be governed by the internal law, not the law of
conflicts, of the State of Delaware.
9.6 Section Titles. The headings herein are inserted as a matter of
convenience only, and do not define, limit, or describe the scope of this
Agreement or the intent of the provisions hereof.
9.7 Binding Provisions. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the
benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, personal and legal representatives, successors, and permitted

jurisdiction over the subject matter of the dispute or matter. All Members
hereby consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by any such court with
respect to any such proceeding.
9.9 Terms. Common nouns and pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the
masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural, as the identity of the Person
may in the context require.
9.10 Separability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be
considered separable; and if, for any reason, any provision or provisions herein
are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such
invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this
Agreement which are valid.
16
9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and all of which, when taken together, constitute one and the same
document. The signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a
signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.
9.12 Estoppel Certificate. Each Member shall, within ten (10)
days after written request by any Member or the General Manager, deliver to the
requesting Person a certificate stating, to the Member's knowledge, that: (a)
this Agreement is in full force and effect; (b) this Agreement has not been
modified except by any instrument or instruments identified in the certificate;
and (c) there is no default hereunder by the requesting Person, or if there is a
default, the nature and extent thereof. If the certificate is not received
within that ten (10) day period, the General Manager shall execute and deliver
the certificate on behalf of the requested Member, without qualification,
pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 5.5.
