The Company may issue Units, and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Units, for any Company purpose at any time and from time to time, subject to Article IV and Section 6.4(h), to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.3. Each Unit shall have the rights and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(ii)Subject to Article IV and Section 6.4(h), the Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Units in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing classes and series of Units), as shall be fixed by the Board.

(b)Series of Units. The Units shall be divided into three series of Units: Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units and Series C Common Units, as follows:

(i)Series A Preferred Units. On the Effective Date, the Company has authorized and created a class of Units designated as “Series A Preferred Units”, consisting of a total of 45,738,661 Series A Preferred Units, and has issued all of the Series A Preferred Units to the Series A Members in the respective amounts set forth on Exhibit A.

Common Units authorized but not yet issued shall remain available for future issuances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the issuance of additional Series C Common Units shall dilute the Common Members pro rata. The voting rights of Series C Common Units are set forth in Section 12.10.

(c)Units as Securities. Units shall constitute “securities” governed by Article 8 of the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to time after the Effective Date.

(d)No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued by the Company. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Unit (but for this Section 3.2(d)), each fractional Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (and a 0.5 Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Unit).

(e)Non-Voting Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall in no event issue any non-voting equity securities in violation of chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code; provided, however, that the foregoing prohibition (i) will have no further force and effect beyond that required under Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) will have such force and effect, if any, only for so long as such Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is in effect and (iii) may be amended or eliminated in accordance with applicable Law. The prohibition on the issuance of nonvoting equity securities is included in this Agreement in compliance with Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f)Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. All Units issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article III and Article IV shall be fully paid and non-assessable Units in the Company, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 18‑607 or 18-804 of the Delaware Act.

Section 3.3Splits and Combinations.

(a)Distributions; Subdivisions; Combinations. Subject to Section 3.2(d), the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Units to all Record Holders or may effect a subdivision or combination of Units so long as, after any such event, each Record Holder shall have the same pro rata percentage interest in the each series or class of Units as before such event, and any amounts calculated on a per-Unit basis or stated as a number of Units are proportionately adjusted.

(b)Required Notice. Whenever a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units is declared, the Board shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall, at least 20 days prior to such Record Date, send notice thereof to each Person who, as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such notice, is a Record Holder.

15

(c)Calculation of Units. The Board may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by the Board to calculate the number of Units to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to any such distribution, subdivision or combination, and the Board shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

(d)Subsequent Issuances. Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the Company may issue Certificates or uncertificated Units to the Record Holders of Units as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Units held by such Record Holders, or the Board may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Units being outstanding, and a Unit is represented by a Certificate, then the Company shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of such new Certificate, the surrender of any Certificate held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

Section 3.4Certificates.

(a)No Certificates. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Units shall not be evidenced by physical certificates unless the Board determines otherwise in respect of some or all of any or all class or series of Units. Certificates that may be issued, if any, shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an authorized officer or Manager of the Company. If a Transfer Agent has been appointed for a class or series of Units, no Certificate, if any, for such class or series of Units shall be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by the Transfer Agent for such series of Units; provided, however, that if the Board elects to cause the Company to issue Units of such class or series in global form, the Certificate, if any, shall be valid upon receipt of a certificate from the Transfer Agent certifying that the Units have been duly registered in accordance with the directions of the Company.

(b)Mutilated Certificates. To the extent any Unit is represented by a Certificate, if any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent, the appropriate officers of the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate evidencing the same number and type of Units as the Certificate so surrendered.

(c)Replacement Certificates. The appropriate officers of the Company shall execute and deliver, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign a new Certificate in place of any Certificate previously issued, if the Record Holder of the Certificate:

(i)makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that a previously issued Certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen;

(ii)requests the issuance of a new Certificate before the Company has notice that the Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;

16

(iii)if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with surety or sureties and with fixed or open penalty as the Company may direct to indemnify the Company and the Transfer Agent against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the Certificate; and

(iv)satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Company.

(d)Failure to Notify. If a Record Holder fails to notify the Company within a reasonable period of time after such Record Holder has notice of the loss, destruction or theft of a Certificate, and a Transfer of the Units represented by the Certificate is registered before the Company or the Transfer Agent receives such notification, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Record Holder shall be precluded from making any claim against the Company or the Transfer Agent for such Transfer or for a new Certificate.

(e)Payment of Taxes and Charges. As a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.4, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith.

Section 4.2Subsequent Capital Contributions.

(a)No Member will be required by this Agreement to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Company.

(b)Subject to Section 4.2(g), if the Board reasonably determines that the Company is in need of additional Capital Contributions and should issue additional Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable for Units (“New Units”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in order to raise such capital, then each Record Holder of Series A Preferred Units as of a Record Date determined by the Board (each, an “Eligible Purchaser”) shall have a preemptive right, but not an obligation, to fund any such additional Capital Contributions pro rata in accordance with its proportionate ownership of all Series A Preferred Units outstanding at the time (such capital call, a “New Issuance”).

(c)For each New Issuance, the Board shall deliver written notice (a “New Issuance Notice”) to each Eligible Purchaser not less than 30 days prior to the funding date of such New Issuance, setting forth the amount of the requested Capital Contributions, the date on which the requested Capital Contributions are required to be made and the New Units to be issued in respect thereof;

(d)Each Eligible Purchaser shall have the right to elect to purchase up to its pro rata share (based on its proportionate ownership of all Series A Preferred Units outstanding at the time) of such New Units (an Eligible Purchaser’s “Base Amount”) at the price per Unit and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the New Issuance Notice. Each Eligible Purchaser desiring to exercise its preemptive right in respect of a New Issuance shall deliver a written notice (an “Election Notice”) to the Company within 20 days from the receipt of a New Issuance Notice (the “Election Period”), which notice shall state (i) how many New Units such Eligible Purchaser commits to purchasing, up to its Base Amount, and (ii) whether such Eligible Purchaser would be willing to purchase additional New Units if other Eligible Purchasers do not commit to purchase such other Eligible Purchasers’ Base Amounts.

(e)If an Eligible Purchaser (i) elects, in whole or in part, not to exercise its preemptive right in respect of a New Issuance, (ii) fails to deliver an Election Notice in respect of a New Issuance or (iii) fails to contribute all or a portion of the capital such Eligible Purchaser committed to fund, in each case within the applicable Election Period (a “Non-Participating Member”, and the Units which such Non-Participating Member did not purchase, the “Unsubscribed Units”), then each Eligible Purchaser who has timely funded its Base Amount and elected to purchase additional New Units (each, a “Participating Member”) may, but will not be obligated to, purchase Unsubscribed Units, pro rata based upon the relative portion of such Participating Member’s Base Amount in relation to the aggregate of the Base Amount of all Participating Members. If one or more Participating Member fails to purchase the entire amount of Unsubscribed Units which such Participating Member is eligible to purchase, the Board may offer any such Unsubscribed Units to the other Participating Members, pro rata.

(f)If the Eligible Purchasers fail to fully fund all or a portion of any valid capital call approved by the Board, the Board may issue a capital call to the Common Members for any remaining Unsubscribed Units in accordance with the same principles set forth in this Section 4.2 for Eligible Purchasers. If the Common Members fail to fully fund such Unsubscribed Units, the Board may seek third-party sources of debt or equity financing sufficient to fund the remaining unfunded amount relating to such Unsubscribed Units.

20

providers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to employee benefit plans, incentive equity plans or other arrangements approved by the Board; (vi) such New Units are issued to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company; or (vii) such New Units are issued as an “equity-kicker” pursuant to any equipment leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution.

(i)The Company shall not permit any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries to issue any equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, other than (i) to the Company, (ii) to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, or (iii) in an offering to the Members of the Company that complies with this Section 4.2.

Section 4.3Withdrawal of Capital. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contributions to the Company or have the right to withdraw any capital from the Company; provided, however, that the Board may determine to distribute capital to the Members from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof.

All Redemption Payments and Distributions shall be paid by the Company, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of the applicable Units as of the Record Date set for the Redemption Payment or Distribution, as applicable.

Each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Unit and each other Person who is bound by this Agreement hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Board or any such Officer in connection

Article XRECORD HOLDERS; TRANSFER; REDEMPTION

Section 10.1Record Holders. Subject to Section 10.5, the Company shall be entitled to recognize a Record Holder of a Unit as the owner of such Unit and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Unit on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by Law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which such Units are listed or admitted for trading. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring and/or holding Units, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other hand, such representative Person shall (a) be the Record Holder

38

of such Units, (b) be bound by this Agreement and (c) have the rights and obligations of a Member hereunder as, and to the extent, provided herein.

Section 10.3Registration and Transfer of Units.

(a)The Company shall keep, or cause the Transfer Agent or another Person to keep on behalf of the Company, a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(b), the Company will provide for the registration and Transfer of Units. The Company shall not recognize Transfers of Certificates evidencing Units unless such Transfers are effected in the manner described in this Section 10.3.

(b)The Company shall not recognize any Transfer of Units evidenced by Certificates until the Certificates evidencing such Units are surrendered for registration of Transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the Company for such Transfer; provided, that, as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 10.3, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto. Upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of Transfer of any Units evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3(b), the appropriate officers of the Company shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Certificates evidencing Units for which a Transfer Agent has been appointed, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the Record Holder or the designated Transferee or Transferees, as required pursuant to the Record Holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Units as was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered.

(c)Upon the receipt of proper Transfer instructions from a Record Holder of uncertificated Units, such uncertificated Units shall be cancelled, issuance of new equivalent uncertificated Units or Certificates shall be made to the Transferee of such Units and the transaction shall be recorded upon the Company’s register.

(d)A Person may not become a Member until such Person is reflected in the books and records of the Company as the Record Holder of a Unit, but any such Person may become a Member or a Record Holder of a Unit without the consent or approval of any of the Members. By acceptance of the Transfer of any Units in accordance with Article X, or accepting any Units issued pursuant to Article IV or pursuant to a merger, consolidation or conversion pursuant to Article XIII, and except as provided in Section 10.5, each Transferee of a Unit (including any nominee holder or an agent or representative acquiring such Units for the account of another Person)

(i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Member with respect to the Units so Transferred to such Transferee when any such Transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company and such Transferee becomes the Record Holder of the Units so Transferred, (ii) shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) represents that such Transferee has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Officers of the Company and any Liquidator of the Company to effect the provisions of this Article X, and (v) makes the representations, consents, acknowledgements and waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person. The Transfer of any Units and the admission of any new Member shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(e)Any Transfer of a Unit shall not entitle the Transferee to receive distributions or to any other rights to which the Transferor was entitled until the Transferee becomes a Member pursuant to Section 10.3(d).

Section 10.4Restrictions on Transfers.

(a)Except as provided in Section 10.4(b), notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article X, no Transfer of any Units shall be made if such Transfer would (i) violate the then‑applicable federal or state securities Laws or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Transfer; (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Company under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or qualification, as applicable; or (iii) be inconsistent with the restrictions on Transfers to Foreign Persons set forth in Section 10.5.

(b)Except as set forth in Section 10.5, nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this Agreement shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Units entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange on which such Units are listed or admitted for trading.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Units shall not bear a restrictive legend unless the Board is advised otherwise by counsel to the Company with respect to Units issued to an Affiliate of the Company, another control person within the meaning of the Securities Act or a person that is an “underwriter” with respect to such Units, as such term is defined in Section 1145 of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event that any Unit is evidenced in certificated form and based on advice of counsel to the Company is required to bear a legend, each such certificate shall bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the form as such counsel advises is appropriate.

Section 10.5Eligibility; Ineligible Holders.

(a)The Company shall not recognize any Transfer of (i) Preferred Units to a Person who is not a United States Person (a “Foreign Person”) or (ii) Series C Common Units to

40

a Foreign Person who would thereby own (directly, indirectly or constructively) more than five percent of the outstanding Series C Common Units, and any such attempted Transfer shall be void ab initio. Any holder of Units who attempts to Transfer Units to a Foreign Person inconsistent with this Section 10.5 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all other Covered Persons from and against any and all Liabilities arising out of or related to such attempted Transfer, including any withholding taxes payable in connection with any distribution, deemed distribution or other payment made to such Foreign Person.

Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver

50

of notice of the meeting, except when the Member attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly made at the meeting.

Section 12.7Quorum and Voting. Members who are Record Holders of a majority of the outstanding Units of the class or classes for which a meeting has been called represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Members of such class or series unless any such action by the Members requires approval by Members who are Record Holders of a greater percentage of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. At any meeting of the Members duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of the Members who are Record Holders of the outstanding Units of the classes or series for which such meeting has been called who, in the aggregate, represent a majority of the outstanding Units of the classes or series for which such meeting has been called which were cast, in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Members, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Members who are Record Holders of the outstanding Units of the classes or series for which such meeting has been called who, in the aggregate, represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. The Members present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of outstanding Units specified in this Agreement. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of the Members who are Record Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Units of the classes or series for which such meeting has been called which were cast at such meeting represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 12.5. With respect to the use of proxies at any meeting of Members, the Company shall be governed by paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 212 of the DGCL and other applicable provisions of the DGCL, as though the Company were a Delaware corporation and as though the Members were stockholders of a Delaware corporation, and any such proxy may be granted in writing, by means of electronic transmission or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Any such proxy shall be filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “electronic transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

Section 12.9Action Without a Meeting. If authorized by the Board, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Members (or any class or series of Members) may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Members owning not less than the minimum percentage of the outstanding Units of the applicable class or series that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Members were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern). Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Members of the applicable class or series who have not approved in writing. The Board may specify that any written ballot submitted to Members for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Company within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the Board.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 14.9Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all of such counterparts shall constitute for all purposes one agreement. Any signature hereto delivered by a party hereto by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed an original signature hereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) each Person receiving Units pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed bound by this Agreement as a Member as of the Effective Date pursuant to paragraphs 101 and 104 of the Confirmation Order, whether or not such Person affixes its signature hereto or (b) in the case of a Person acquiring a Member’s interest pursuant to Article X, without execution hereof.

Section 14.10Confidentiality. Each Member agrees that (a) all non-public information received from or otherwise relating to the Company, the Members, or any third party who has entrusted the Company with confidential information with the expectation that such information will be kept confidential, and (b) the ownership interest and identity of the Members and their Affiliates, and the fact that any Member is a Member of and affiliated with the Company, is confidential. Each Member agrees that such information will not be (i) disclosed or otherwise released to any other Person (other than another party hereto for a valid business purpose) or (ii) used for anything other than as necessary and appropriate in carrying out the business of the Company. The obligations of the parties hereunder do not preclude the Members from disclosing information to its beneficial owners or representatives or as it may reasonably deem to be appropriate in connection with fundraising efforts. The restrictions set forth herein do not apply to any disclosures required by applicable Law or a governmental or regulatory authority so long as (x) the Person subject to such disclosure obligations provides prior written notice (to the extent reasonably practicable) to the Company and any affected Person stating the basis upon which the disclosure is

61

asserted to be required, and (y) the Person subject to such disclosure obligations takes, at the Company’s request and expense, all reasonable steps to oppose or mitigate any such disclosure; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Member may disclose confidential information without notice to the Company and any affected Person if (A) such confidential information is requested or required by a governmental agency or self-regulatory organization in the course of such authority’s routine audit, examination or blanket document request in which the Company or this Agreement is not targeted or (B) a Member reasonably determines in good faith that it is in the interests of such Member to disclose such confidential information to a governmental or regulatory authority.

Section 14.11Preparation of Agreement. All of the Members and their respective counsels participated in the preparation of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption shall arise based on the identity of the draftsman of this Agreement.

Section 14.12Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall execute and deliver such other documents, certificates and agreements, provide such other information and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by the Company in connection with the continuation of the Company and the achievement of its purposes, including (a) any documents the Company deems necessary or appropriate to continue the Company as a limited liability company in all jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conduct or plan to conduct business and (b) all such agreements, certificates, tax statements and other documents as may be required to be filed in respect of the Company.

Section 14.13Non-Compensatory Damages. NONE OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO, OR ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS OF ANY KIND ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH PARTY SUFFERS SUCH DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY, WHICH DAMAGES (INCLUDING COSTS OF DEFENSE AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH DEFENDING AGAINST SUCH DAMAGES) SHALL NOT BE EXCLUDED BY THIS PROVISION AS TO RECOVERY HEREUNDER. SUBJECT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, EACH PARTY HERETO, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
