(a) Name and Mailing Address. The name and mailing address of the Member is set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. Subject to Section 9(j), the Member may act by written consent.

(b) Special Member. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than (i) upon an assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Sections 17 and 17(c) or (ii) the resignation of the Member and the admission of an additional member of the Company pursuant to Sections 17(b) and 17(c)), the person acting as an Independent Director pursuant to Section 10 shall, without any action of any Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be a member of the Company, automatically be admitted to the Company as the Special Member and shall continue the Company without dissolution. The Special Member may not resign from the Company or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (A) a successor Special Member has been admitted to the Company as Special Member by executing a counterpart to this Agreement and (B) such successor has also accepted its appointment as Independent Director pursuant to Section 10; provided, however, that upon the death or legal incapacity of a Special Member the personal representative of such Special Member shall automatically and without any further action on the part of any Person be admitted as a Special Member of the Company, and provided further each Person acting as a Special Member shall automatically cease to be a Special Member of the Company upon the admission to the Company of a substitute Member appointed by the personal representative of the Member who last ceased to be a member of the Company. Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, the Special Member shall be a member of the Company that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of the Company and has no right to receive any distributions of Company assets. Pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Act, the Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to the Company and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in the Company. The Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind the Company. Except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, including without limitation, Section 18-301(b)(i), the Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, the Company, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of the Company; provided, however, such prohibitions shall not limit the obligations of a Special Member in such Person’s capacity as an Independent Director to vote on any Material Action. To implement the admission to the Company of the Special Member, the person acting as an Independent Director pursuant to Section 10 shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement. Prior to its admission to the Company as Special Member, the person acting as an Independent Director pursuant to Section 10 shall not be a member of the Company.

(d) Quorum: Acts of the Board. At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided in any other provision of this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Directors present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee, as the case may be.

(e) Electronic Communications. Members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in meetings of the Board, or any committee, by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment that allows all Persons participating in the meeting to hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in Person at the meeting.

(f) Committees of Directors.

(i) The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Directors of the Company.

(g) Compensation of Directors; Expenses. The Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of Directors. The Directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Board.

(j) Limitations on the Company’s Activities.

(i) This Section 9(j) is being adopted in order to (A) make remote the possibility that the Company would enter Bankruptcy, either by itself or by substantive consolidation with the Bankruptcy of the Member should such a Bankruptcy occur, and (B) to make the Company a “special purpose” entity.

(ii) None of the Member, the Board, any Director or any Officer shall, amend, alter, change or repeal the definition of “Independent Director” or Sections 7, 8, the first sentence of Sections 9(a), 10, 17, 18 or 19(g), or the definitions in Exhibit A (to the extent that the definitions are used in any of the foregoing sections), without the consent of the Board (including the Independent Director). Subject to this Section 9(j), the Member reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provisions contained in this Agreement in accordance with Section 19(g).
