The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that indemnification or the advancement of expenses by the Company was not appropriate or breached any law or constituted a breach of any duty by any Person.

(b) If a Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise as a party to any Proceeding, or with respect to any claim, issue or matter therein (to the extent that a portion of the expenses can be reasonably allocated thereto), the Person shall be indemnified against allocated expenses (including attorneys fees, accountants fees and expenses of investigation) actually and reasonably incurred by the Person in connection with the successful defense.

If a Membership Interest is transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement there shall be allocated to each Member who held the transferred interest during the fiscal year of transfer the product of (a) the Company’s profit and loss allocable to such transferred interest for such fiscal year, and (b) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days such Member held the transferred interest during such fiscal year and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal year; provided, however, that the Managers may in their discretion allocate such profit and loss by closing the books of the Company immediately after the transfer of an interest or by any other reasonable method permitted by Section 706 of the Code. Such allocation shall be made without regard to the date, amount, or recipient of such transferred interest.

8.4 Regulatory Allocations.

(a) If there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)) during any Company taxable year, certain items of income and gain shall be allocated (on a gross basis) to the Members in the amounts and manner described in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 8.4(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement [set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)] relating to partnership nonrecourse liabilities [as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(3)] and this provision shall be interpreted and implemented in accordance with such Regulation.

(b) If there is a net decrease in minimum gain attributable to a partner nonrecourse debt (determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)) during any Company taxable year, certain items of income and gain shall be allocated (on a gross basis) as quickly as possible to those Members who had a share of the minimum gain attributable to the partner nonrecourse debt (determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) in the amounts and manner described in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 8.4(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement [set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)) relating to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)] and this provision shall be interpreted and implemented in accordance with such Regulation.

(c) If, after applying Sections 8.4(a) and (b), any Member has an adjusted capital account deficit, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated (on a gross basis) to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the adjusted capital account deficit of such Member as quickly as possible. It is intended that this Section 8.4(c) constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and this provision shall be interpreted and implemented in accordance with such Regulation.

(d) Member nonrecourse deductions [determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-12(i)(2)] shall be allocated pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1) to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to such deductions.

8.5 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 8.4 are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such allocations shall be taken into account in allocating profits and losses and items of Company income, gain, loss and deductions to the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of profits and losses and other items and those allocations to each Member in the current and future periods shall be equal to the net amount of items that would have been allocated to each such Member if the allocations in Section 8.4 had not occurred.

8.6 Guaranteed Payments. To the extent any compensation paid to any Member by the Company is determined by the IRS not to be a guaranteed payment under Code Section707(c) or is not paid to the Member other than in the Person’s capacity as a Member within the meaning of Code Section 707(a), the Member shall be specially allocated gross income of the Company in an amount equal to the amount of that compensation, and the Member’s Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect the payment of that compensation.

8.7 Unrealized Receivables. If a Member’s Units are reduced (provided the reduction does not result in a complete termination of the Member’s Interest), the Member’s share of the Company’s “unrealized receivables” and “substantially appreciated inventory” (within the meaning of the Code Section 751) shall not be reduced, so that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, that portion of the profits otherwise allocable upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company that is taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes shall, to the extent possible without increasing the total gain to the Company or to any Member, be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to the deduction (or basis reductions treated as deductions) giving rise to such recapture income. Any questions as to the aforesaid allocation of ordinary income, to the extent such questions cannot be resolved in the manner specified above, shall be resolved by the Mangers, in their absolute discretion.

8.8 Contributed Property. Net income or net loss with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its value at the time of the contribution of such property to the Company in accordance with Code Section 704(c).

8.9 Company Withholding. Should the Company be required, pursuant to the Code, the laws of any state or any other provision of law, to withhold any amount from amounts otherwise distributable to any Member or on the basis of income allocable to any Member, the Company shall withhold those amounts, and any amounts so withheld shall be deemed to have been distributed to that Member under this Agreement. If any sums are withheld pursuant to this provision, the Company shall remit the sums so withheld to, and file the required forms with, the Internal Revenue Service, or the appropriate authority of any such state or other applicable government agency. In the event of any claimed over-withholding, a Member shall be limited to an action against the Internal Revenue Service, or the appropriate authority of any such state or other applicable government agency for refund, and each Member hereby waives any claim or right of action against the Company on account of such withholding. Furthermore, if the amounts required to be withheld exceed the amounts which would otherwise have been distributed to a Member, the excess withholding shall constitute a loan from the Company to such Member, and the Member shall pay such amount to the Company within ten (10) business days after notice from the Company. If the loan is not paid within that time, such failure shall constitute a default by that Member, and the Member shall be liable for interest on the amount of such loan from the date of notice until paid at an annual rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) or the highest rate permitted by law. This loan shall be repaid in full within ten (10) business days after demand (and for this purpose any Member other than the Member on whose account such loan was made may unilaterally make such demand for and on behalf of the Company), and if no demand is made or the loan is not repaid, the loan shall be repaid, without prejudice to any other remedies at law or in equity that the Company may have, out of distributions to which the debtor Member would otherwise subsequently be entitled under this Agreement.

8.10 Distribution in Kind. If the Managers (or any Person acting as liquidator) determine(s) that a portion of the Company’s assets should be distributed in kind to the Members, an independent appraisal of the fair market value of each such asset as of a date reasonably close to the date of distribution shall be obtained. Any unrealized gain or loss and any unallocated appreciation or depreciation with respect to any asset to be distributed in kind shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII (assuming that the assets were sold for the appraised value) and taken into consideration in determining the balance in the Members’ Capital Accounts as of the date of the distribution. Distribution of any such asset in kind to a Member shall be considered a distribution of an amount equal to the asset’s fair market value for purposes of Sections 8.12 and 11.3.

8.11 No Liability for Distributions. Upon any distribution made in good faith, the Managers shall incur no liability even though such distribution results in the Company retaining insufficient funds for the operation of its business, which insufficiency results in loss to the Company or necessitates requesting any additional capital contributions from the Members or the borrowing of funds by the Company.

8.12 Distributions. As soon as practical after the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall endeavor to make a distribution to each Member calculated at the highest marginal tax rate for corporations on the amount of the net positive allocations to such Member’s Capital Account during such calendar quarter. The Managers shall determine on a quarterly basis whether any cash is available for any other distribution. The Managers are not required to make distributions, and are specifically authorized to retain cash for reinvestment, to

repay loans or for any other reserves or contingencies determined by the Managers in their sole discretion. Distributions to the Members shall be distributed in the proportion that the number of Units held by each Member bears to the total number of Units issued and outstanding, except any distribution to the Members pursuant to Section 11.3 upon dissolution of the Company.

8.13 Expenses. The Managers shall charge the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Manager or its Affiliates in connection with the Company’s business and the organization of the Company (including, without prejudice to generality, organizational expenses consisting of legal and accounting fees). The Company shall pay all expenses of the Company including, without prejudice to generality: (i) all salaries, compensation and fringe benefits of personnel employed by the Company and involved in the Company business, including personnel who may also be managers, officers or employees of any Manager or its Affiliates; (ii) all costs of borrowed money and all taxes applicable to the Company; (iii) all legal, audit, accounting, consulting and brokerage fees; (iv) all expenses and taxes incurred in the distribution, transfer and recording of documents evidencing ownership of an interest in the Company; and (v) all expenses for the operation of the Company and the conduct of its business. The Company shall reimburse any Manager or Affiliates for the actual cost of all goods and materials used for or by the Company. The Company shall pay or reimburse any Manager or Affiliates for organizational expenses incurred to form the Company (including, without prejudice to generality, legal and accounting fees). Any Manager may allocate to the Company, on any basis selected by such Manager in good faith which is consistent with good accounting practice, a portion of any and all expenses (including, without prejudice to generality, salaries, compensation and fringe benefits, and special and administrative expenses), incurred by such Manager or its Affiliates for the mutual benefit of the Company and other persons.

8.15 Compensatory Membership Interests. The Company may issue compensatory non-vested Membership Interests. The holder of a non-vested Membership Interest may receive allocations with respect to a Membership Interest that is subject to forfeiture. The Company will make forfeiture allocations in the event that an interest for which a Code Section 83(b) election is made is later forfeited. Forfeiture allocations are allocations in the year of forfeiture that offset prior distributions and allocations of Company items with respect to the forfeited Membership Interest. All material allocations and Capital Account adjustments under this Agreement not pertaining to substantially non-vested Membership Interests for which a Code Section 83(b) election has been made will be recognized under Code Section 704(b). The Company is authorized and directed to make any safe harbor elections under Code Section 83(b) in connection with the issuance of any compensatory Membership Interest, and upon such election, each Member shall be bound by the requirements of such elections.

ARTICLE IX.
BOOKS AND RECORDS

9.1 Fiscal Year. The Company’s fiscal year shall be the calendar year.

9.2 Records and Reports. At the expense of the Company, the Managers shall maintain records and accounts of all operations and expenditures of the Company. The Company shall keep at its principal place of business the following records:

	(b)		Copies of records to enable a Member to determine the relative voting rights, if any, of the Members;

	(f)		Copies of any financial statements of the Company for the three most recent years.

9.3 Examination of Books and Records. The books and records shall at all times be maintained at the principal office of the Company, and shall be open to the reasonable inspection and examination of the Members, or their assignees, or their duly authorized representatives, during reasonable business hours. Any such person desiring to inspect and examine such records shall make a written request to the Company a reasonable time in advance of any time requested for such inspection. If such inspection may include access to confidential information of the Company or other Members, the Company may require the person requesting the inspection to execute an agreement to keep such information confidential and not to use such information other than for legitimate purposes in connection with the ownership or management of the Company. Any Member may, at its own expense, audit the books and records of the Company including procuring audited financial statements. The Company shall fully cooperate with any accountants appointed by the Member to conduct such audit.

9.4 Tax Returns. The Managers shall cause the preparation and timely filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Code and all other tax returns deemed necessary and required in each jurisdiction in which the Company does business. Copies of such returns, or pertinent information therefrom, shall be furnished to the Members within a reasonable time after the end of the Company’s fiscal year.

ARTICLE X.
TRANSFERABILITY

10.1 General. A Membership Interest, and any interest in a Membership Interest, may not be Transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily (including by operation of law or otherwise), except in accordance with the provisions of this section. Any attempt to Transfer any interest in a Membership Interest in violation of this Agreement or any applicable state or federal law shall be void and of no effect, except that any Transfer by operation of law shall result in the transferee having the rights of an assignee who has not been admitted as a Member, as to allocations and distributions, but not the rights of a Member under this Agreement. A Member shall obtain the prior written consent of the Managers for any Transfer other than a Transfer by operation of law.

10.2 Membership Interests are Restricted Securities. Membership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended or under the securities laws of any state, and may not be Transferred unless and until registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law or, in the opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, such Transfer is in compliance therewith.

10.3 Restrictions on Transfers. The Managers may withhold consent to any Transfer to any Person which does not provide appropriate identifying information regarding itself or any control Person or other information required by the Managers to comply with any currency transaction laws, financial privacy laws, anti-money laundering laws or similar laws.

Membership Interests may not be Transferred unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company that such transaction would not result in the Company being considered terminated under the Code and Regulations. No Transfer shall be made which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, would result in materially adverse tax consequences to the Company or the Members. No Transfer shall be made which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, would result in the assets of the Company being considered plan assets for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The transferee shall provide its taxpayer identification number, passport and related information of any natural Person transferee or control Person of any transferee, and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file required tax returns, to the Managers.

10.4 Consent Required for Substitution of New Member. Subject to the preceding provisions of this Article X, an assignee of any Membership Interest may become a Member only upon (i) execution and delivery by the assignee of a written acceptance and adoption of this Agreement, as the same may be amended, together with such other documents, if any, as the Managers may require; (ii) the payment to the Company by the Member assigning his or her Membership Interest of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such assignment; and (iii) the written consent of the Managers, which consent may be given or denied in the

absolute discretion of each Manager. Upon such execution and consent, when applicable, but not otherwise, the assignee shall, with respect to the Membership Interest assigned, be admitted to the Company and become a substituted Member therein. This Article X shall not apply to initial admission of Members pursuant to Article III of this Agreement or to transfers of Membership Interests between existing Members of the Company.

ARTICLE XI.
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

11.1 Dissolution. The Company shall only be dissolved upon the earlier of:

(a) Member Consent; or

(b) ninety (90) days after the complete liquidation and distribution of the assets of the Company, unless the Members determine to continue the Company by a Member Consent.

11.2 Effect of Dissolution. Upon dissolution, the Company shall cease to carry on its business, except as permitted by the Texas Law.

11.3 Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of dissolution as provided in Section 11.1 above, and if there has been no determination to continue the Company as provided for in this Agreement, the assets of the Company shall be paid and distributed in the following order:

(a) All of the Company’s debts and liabilities to persons other than Members, but excluding secured creditors whose obligations will be assumed or otherwise transferred upon the liquidation of Company assets, shall be paid and discharged and any reserve deemed necessary by the Managers for the payment of such debts shall be set aside;

(b) All of the Company’s debts and liabilities to Members shall then be paid and discharged; and

(1) first, to the Members in the proportion that the Capital Account of each bears to the Capital Accounts of all Members until the Capital Account of each Member has been reduced to zero; and

(2) second, to the Members in the proportion the number of Units owned by each bears to all Units outstanding.

11.4 Distribution in Kind. If the Managers (or other Person acting as liquidator) determine(s) that a portion of the Company’s assets should be distributed in kind to the Members, an independent appraisal of the fair market value of each such asset as of a date reasonably close to the date of liquidation shall be obtained. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation with respect to any asset to be distributed in kind shall be allocated among the Members (in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, and assuming that the assets were sold for the appraised value) and taken into consideration in determining the balance in the Members’ Capital Accounts as of the date of final liquidation. Distribution of any such asset in kind to a Member shall be considered a distribution of an amount equal to the asset’s fair market value for purposes of Section 11.3.

11.5 No Liability for Distributions. Upon any such liquidating distribution made in good faith, the Managers shall incur no liability even though such distribution results in the Company retaining insufficient funds for the winding up of its business, which insufficiency results in loss to the Company or necessitates requesting any additional capital contributions from the Members or the borrowing of funds by the Company.

11.6 Termination. Upon the completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided in this

Article 11, the existence of the Company shall be terminated.

11.7 Certificate of Termination. When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefore and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Members, a certificate evidencing such termination may be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of Texas in accordance with the Texas Law.

11.8 Return of Contribution Nonrecourse to Other Members. Upon dissolution, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contributions or payment of its Capital Account, and shall be entitled only to (i) a cash distribution or (ii) a distribution in kind of the Company’s assets made in accordance with Section 11.4 hereof, unless otherwise determined by the Managers. If the Company property remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return the Capital Account of one or more Members, including, without limitation, all or any part of that Capital Account attributable to Capital Contributions, then such Member or Members shall have no recourse against the Managers or any other Member.

ARTICLE XII.
