(i)  the current per share market price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the date the share is issued (or, if earlier, the date the related option or other instrument is exercised), reduced by

(ii)  the amount paid to the Company as described under subsection ‎(a) above;

(c)  the Company will be deemed to purchase from Newco a share of Class A Common Stock for an amount of cash equal to the sum of:

(i)  the additional deemed Capital Contribution made by Newco (indirectly through the Newco Group Members) to the Company in subsection ‎(b) above, and

(ii)  the amount paid to the Company as described under subsection ‎(a) above, and to deliver such share of Class A Common Stock to its owner under the Incentive Plan (the parties acknowledging that the deemed purchase will not

cause the Company to own the shares of Class A Common Stock for any purpose, including for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive dividends or vote);

(d)  in exchange for the payment by Newco to the Company described in subsection ‎(a) above and the deemed Capital Contribution by Newco to the Company described in subsection ‎(b) above (which aggregate amount will be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Newco Group Members), the Company will issue to a Newco Group Member a number of Common Units equal to the inverse of the Exchange Rate registered in the name of the applicable Newco Group Member for each share of Class A Common Stock issued by Newco under the Incentive Plan;

(e)  the Company will claim any compensation deductions attributable to the issuance or vesting, as the case may be, of shares of Class A Common Stock and any other deductions available by reason of shares issued pursuant to an Incentive Plan (including, as applicable, as a result of an election under Code Section 83(b)), which deductions will be allocated among the Members in accordance with the allocation rules in ‎‎Article 5;

(f)  if the owner of any share of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to an Incentive Plan has timely made an election under Code Section 83(b) with respect to that share of Class A Common Stock and the share of Class A Common Stock is subsequently forfeited, then each of the actual and deemed steps described in subsections ‎(a) through ‎(e) above with respect to that share of Class A Common Stock will be reversed, including the reversion of that share of Class A Common Stock to Newco, the cancellation of the Common Unit(s) issued to the applicable Newco Group Member and the reversal, if and to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-6(c) or other applicable tax Law, of any compensation deductions previously allocated to the Members; and

(g)  if a share of Class A Common Stock issued under an Incentive Plan is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and is not transferable for purposes of Code Section 83, and if a valid election under Code Section 83(b) has not been made with respect to such share of Class A Common Stock, the foregoing transactions shall be deemed to occur for U.S. federal income tax purposes when such share of Class A Common Stock is either transferable or no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Code Section 83. Until such time, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts and computing Profits, Losses and related items), such share of Class A Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued and any distributions with respect to such share of Class A Common Stock shall for such purposes be treated as compensation paid to the holder thereof by the Company.

Section 3.04. Other Issuances.

(a)  If at any time Newco issues a share of Class A Common Stock or any other class or series of Equity Securities of Newco (other than (x) shares of Class B Common Stock or (y) shares of Class A Common Stock under an Incentive Plan), (i) the net

proceeds received by Newco with respect to the share of Class A Common Stock or such other Equity Securities, if any, will be paid or transferred by Newco to the Company (through the Newco Group Members), and (ii) the Company shall issue to the Newco Group Members a number of Common Units equal to the inverse of the Exchange Rate registered in the name of the Newco Group Members for each share of Class A Common Stock (or, with respect to any issuance by Newco of Equity Securities other than Class A Common Stock, one Unit that is substantially equivalent to the Equity Securities issued by Newco) issued by Newco pursuant to the foregoing clause (i); provided, however, that if Newco issues any Equity Securities in order to purchase or fund the purchase from another Member of Units (and Class B Common Stock), then the Company shall not issue any new Units in connection therewith and Newco shall not be required to indirectly transfer such net proceeds to the Company (it being understood that such net proceeds shall instead be transferred to such other Member as consideration for such purchase). This ‎Section 3.04 shall not apply to the issuance and distribution to holders of shares of Newco common stock or rights to purchase Equity Securities of Newco under a “poison pill” or similar shareholder rights plan (it being understood that upon exchange of Paired Interests for Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, such Class A Common Stock would be issued together with a corresponding right), but shall apply to the issuance of Class A Common Stock in connection with the exercise or settlement of such rights, warrants, options or other rights or property.

(b)  The Company hereby grants to Newco Group Members the right to purchase additional Common Units from the Company with cash existing at Newco. If a Newco Group Member exercises its right to purchase additional Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(b), the GE Group Members shall have the right to purchase, for every one Common Unit purchased by the Newco Group Member under this ‎Section 3.04(b), such number of additional Common Units as would result in the GE Group Members holding, in the aggregate, immediately following such purchase the same percentage of the total outstanding Common Units as they held immediately prior to such purchase by the Newco Group Member pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(b). The Newco Group Member purchasing Common Units shall give written notice of such purchase of additional Common Units to the GE Group Members no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the purchase and shall include the number of additional Common Units to be purchased and the purchase date, which shall also be the date, if any, on which the GE Group Members purchase additional Common Units under this ‎Section 3.04(b); provided that, in the event that a Newco Group Member receives a Notice of Exchange at a time when the Cash Balances are less than the Maximum Cash Amount, a Newco Group Member may, at its election, purchase additional Common Units on the date it receives such Notice of Exchange, and the GE Group Members shall have ten (10) Business Days following such a purchase to determine whether to make a corresponding purchase of Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(b). The purchase price payable by the Newco Group Member (or each of the Newco Group Member and GE Group Members, as applicable) for each such Common Unit shall be equal to the product of (i) the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE (or any successor exchange on which the Class A Common Stock may be listed) (“Closing Price”) on the purchase date pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(b), multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Rate immediately prior

to the Newco Group Member’s (or each of the Newco Group Member’s and GE Group Members’, as applicable) purchase of Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(b).

(c)  If, pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(2) or Section 2.01(c)(3) of the Exchange Agreement, an Unpaid BHI Sharing Amount, or Sharing Amount or Sharing Payment due to a Newco Group Member is deemed contributed to Newco LLC as payment for Common Units, then the Company shall issue a number of Common Units to such Newco Group Member equal to (i) the Unpaid BHI Sharing Amount, or Sharing Amount or Sharing Payment, as applicable, divided by (ii) the product of (x) the Closing Price on the date of the Newco Group Member’s acquisition of Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(c) and (y) the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Newco Group Member’s acquisition of Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(c).

If a Newco Group Member acquires Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(c), GE Group Members shall have the right to purchase, for every one Common Unit acquired by the Newco Group Member under this ‎Section 3.04(c), such number of additional Common Units as would result in the GE Group Members holding, in the aggregate, immediately following such purchase the same percentage of the total outstanding Common Units as they held immediately prior to such purchase by Newco pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)‎. When the GE Group Member provides its Notice of Exchange (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) and such notice is subject to Section 2.01(c)(2) or Section 2.01(c)(3) of the Exchange Agreement, the GE Group Member shall also provide notice of whether it will be exercising its right to purchase additional Common Units. If a Newco Group Member receives Common Units as a result of a deemed contribution pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(2) of the Exchange Agreement, the issuance of such Common Units and any Common Units resulting from the exercise by a GE Group Member of its right to purchase additional Common Units in its Notice of Exchange pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(c) shall occur five (5) Business Days after such Notice of Exchange was provided. If a Newco Group Member receives Common Units as a result of a deemed contribution provided for by Section 2.01(c)(3) of the Exchange Agreement, the issuance of such Common Units and any Common Units resulting from the exercise by a GE Group Member of its right to purchase additional Common Units in its Notice of Exchange pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall occur five (5) Business Days after the determination under Section 2.01(c)(3)(A) of the Exchange Agreement was made.

Section 3.05. Acquisition of Units.

(a)  The Company hereby grants to the GE Group Members the right to purchase, for every one Common Unit issued to Newco under ‎Section 3.03(d), such number of additional Common Units as would result in the GE Group Members holding, in the aggregate, immediately following such purchase the same percentage of the total outstanding Common Units they held immediately prior to such issuance by Newco under ‎Section 3.03(d). Newco hereby grants to the GE Group Members the right to purchase, for every one Common Unit issued to Newco under ‎Section 3.03(d), such number of additional shares of Class B Common Stock as would result in GE holding immediately following such purchase the same percentage of the total outstanding shares

of Newco common stock it held immediately prior to such issuance by Newco under ‎Section 3.03(d). The Company shall give written notice of any such proposed issuance of additional Common Units to Newco under ‎Section 3.03(d) no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed issuance (or, if later, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to such proposed issuance), which notice shall include the number of additional Common Units proposed to be issued to Newco and the proposed date of issuance; provided that no such notice shall be required for any individual issuance of fewer than 100,000 additional Common Units so long as the sum of all such individual issuances below such amount do not exceed 1,000,000 Common Units in the aggregate in any ninety (90) day period referred to in the following proviso; provided, further, the Company shall provide at least one such notice every ninety (90) days, which notice shall include all previous issuances of Common Units to Newco under ‎Section 3.03(d) during such ninety (90) day period for which a notice has not previously been provided pursuant to this sentence.

The GE Group Members shall have the right to purchase a number of Common Units and an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock, in each case as would result in the GE Group Members holding, in the aggregate, immediately following such purchase the same percentage of the total outstanding Common Units and shares of Newco Common Stock it held immediately prior to such issuance by Newco under ‎Section 3.03(d), by delivering written notice to the Company and Newco within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of the year in which such issuance occurs. The aggregate purchase price payable by a GE Group Member for each such Common Unit and share of Class B Common Stock shall be equal to (i) in the case of a Common Unit issued by the Company in respect of a restricted share award under the Incentive Plans, the product of (x) the Exchange Rate immediately prior to the GE Group Member’s purchase of Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.05(a) and (y) the Closing Price on the date of the issuance of such restricted share award (or, if later, the date of issuance of Common Units to the GE Group Member), and (ii) in the case of a Common Unit issued by the Company in respect of an option exercise (or the exercise of any other instrument that entitles the holder thereof to purchase a share of Class A Common Stock) under the Incentive Plans, the product of (x) the Exchange Rate immediately prior to the GE Group Member’s purchase of Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.05(a) and (y) the Closing Price on the date such option or other instrument is exercised (or, if later, the date of issuance of Common Units to the GE Group Member), and the GE Group Member shall pay an amount equal to the par value per share of Class B Common Stock to Newco in respect of each such share of Class B Common Stock so purchased and pay the balance to the Company in respect of each such Common Unit so purchased. The GE Group Members’ rights under this ‎Section 3.05(a) shall accrue in arrears and shall be exercisable by the GE Group Members at any time, and from time to time, at, from and after the issuance by the Company of additional Common Units to Newco provided for in ‎Section 3.03(d) (but subject to the limitations set forth herein).

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time the GE Group Members are permitted to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock under the Stockholders Agreement (“Permitted Acquisition”), a GE Group Member may

instead, at its election purchase Paired Interests (in such number that equals the number of shares of Class A Common Stock permitted to be acquired multiplied by the inverse of the Exchange Rate), and the Company shall be obligated to issue the Common Units forming a part of such Paired Interests to GE, on the following terms and conditions:

(i)  In the case of a Permitted Acquisition of Class A Common Stock from Newco, the aggregate purchase price shall be equal to the per share price of the Class A Common Stock that would have been paid to Newco by the GE Group Member multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would have been acquired by the GE Group Member, in each case but for such election.

(ii)  In the case of a Permitted Acquisition of Class A Common Stock from any Person other than Newco, the GE Group Member shall give Newco notice of its election under this ‎Section 3.05(b)(ii) specifying the number of Paired Interests it desires to acquire (which number shall not be greater than the number of shares of Class A Common Stock it would otherwise be permitted to acquire multiplied by the inverse of the Exchange Rate). Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, subject to applicable law, Newco shall repurchase a number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the market equal to the product of (x) the number of Paired Interests GE desires to acquire and (y) the Exchange Rate. The aggregate purchase price payable by the GE Group Member for the Paired Interests shall be the price paid by Newco for the shares of Class A Common Stock so repurchased. Concurrently with Newco’s repurchase of such shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company shall repurchase the same number of Common Units from the Newco Group Members as the Paired Interests the GE Group Member is acquiring pursuant to this ‎Section 3.05(b)(ii) for the same aggregate purchase price.

(iii)  The aggregate purchase price payable by the GE Group Member under this ‎Section 3.05(b) shall be paid by the GE Group Member to Newco and the Company in a manner consistent with ‎Section 3.05(a).

(iv)  GE shall indemnify Newco for any taxes incurred by Newco, the Newco Group Members or the Company resulting from or arising out of an acquisition by the GE Group Members of Class B Common Stock and Common Units pursuant to clause ‎(ii) of this ‎Section 3.05(b), provided that any such taxes indemnified against shall be treated as Formation Taxes (as defined in and for purposes of the Tax Matters Agreement, as defined in the Transaction Agreement).

Section 3.06. Authorization and Issuance of Additional Units.

The Company shall only be permitted to issue additional Units or other Equity Securities in the Company to the Members and on the terms and conditions provided for in ‎Section 3.02, ‎Section 3.03, ‎Section 3.04, ‎Section 3.05 and this ‎Section 3.06. Subject to the foregoing, the Managing Member may cause the Company to issue additional

Common Units authorized under this Agreement at such times and upon such terms as the Managing Member shall determine and the Managing Member shall amend this Agreement as necessary in connection with the issuance of additional Common Units and admission of additional Members under this ‎Section 3.06 without the requirement of any consent or acknowledgement of any other Member.

Section 3.07. Certificates Representing Units; Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Registration and Transfer of Units.

(a)  Units shall not be certificated unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member. If the Managing Member determines that one or more Units shall be certificated, each such certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the Company, by the Chief Executive Officer and any other Officer designated by the Managing Member, representing the number of Units held by such holder. Such certificate shall be in such form (and shall contain such legends) as the Managing Member may determine. Any or all of such signatures on any certificate representing one or more Units may be a facsimile, engraved or printed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Managing Member agrees that it shall not elect to treat any Unit as a “security” within the meaning of ‎Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code unless thereafter all Units then outstanding are represented by one or more certificates.

(b)  If Units are certificated, the Managing Member may direct that a new certificate representing one or more Units be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery to the Managing Member of an affidavit of the owner or owners of such certificate, setting forth such allegation. The Managing Member may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

(c)  Upon surrender to the Company or the transfer agent of the Company, if any, of a certificate for one or more Units, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, in compliance with the provisions hereof, the Company shall issue a new certificate representing one or more Units to the Person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member may prescribe such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, Transfer and registration of Units.

Section 3.08. Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to any other Member or the Company any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the Company).

Section 3.09. No Withdrawal. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person’s Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.10. Loans From Members. Loans by Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. Subject to the provisions of ‎Section 3.01, the amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

Section 3.11. Repurchase or Redemption of Newco Equity Securities. If at any time any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be repurchased or redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of any other arrangement) by Newco for cash using the proceeds of redemptions of Common Units, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company to repurchase or redeem a number of Common Units held by Newco Group Members equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so repurchased or redeemed multiplied by the inverse of the Exchange Rate, at an aggregate repurchase or redemption price equal to the aggregate repurchase or redemption price of the shares of Class A Common Stock being repurchased or redeemed (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the Class A Common Stock being repurchased or redeemed. The Company shall indemnify Newco for any taxes incurred by the Newco Group Members resulting from or arising out of an acquisition by the Company of Common Units pursuant to this ‎Section 3.11. This provision shall be applied to Equity Securities other than Class A Common Stock in a manner consistent with the foregoing, mutatis mutandis.

Article 4
Distributions.

Section 4.01. Distributions.

(a)  Distributions. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, Distributions to Members in respect of any class or series of Units may be declared by the Managing Member out of funds or property legally available therefor in such amounts and on such terms (including the payment dates of such Distributions) as the Managing Member shall determine using such record date as the Managing Member may designate, and any such Distributions shall be made to the Members that hold such class or series of Units as of the close of business on such record date on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest with respect to such class or series of Units as of the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that the Managing Member shall have the obligation to make Distributions as set forth in Sections ‎4.01(b) and ‎13.02; and provided further that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no Distributions shall be made to any Member to the extent such Distribution would render the Company insolvent. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, insolvency means the inability of the Company to meet its payment obligations when due. Promptly following the designation of a record date and the declaration of a Distribution pursuant to this ‎Section 4.01(a), the Managing Member shall give notice to each Member of the record

date, the amount and the terms of the Distribution and the payment date thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, it is intended that the Managing Member shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, have the right in its sole discretion to make Distributions to the Members pursuant to this ‎Section 4.01(a) in such amounts as shall enable Newco and the Newco Group Members to pay dividends or to meet their obligations, including their obligations pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement (to the extent such obligations are not otherwise able to be satisfied as a result of Tax Distributions required to be made pursuant to ‎Section 4.01(b)).

(b)  Tax Distributions.

(i)  On or about each date (a “Tax Distribution Date”) that is five (5) Business Days prior to each due date for a tax return of Newco or a Newco Group Member, as determined without regard to extensions, or other date on which Newco is required to satisfy a tax liability (including as a result of any audit or other proceeding or pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement), the Company shall be required to (x) make a Distribution to the Newco Group Members such that the Newco Group Members receive the amount required to enable Newco or the Newco Group Member to meet its tax obligations, including its obligations pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, due on such date (a “Newco Group Members Tax Distribution”) and (y) make a Distribution to each Member other than the Newco Group Members so that the Distributions made to the Newco Group Members under clause (x) and the Distributions made to each other Newco Group Member under this clause (y) are in accordance with the Members’ respective Percentage Interests on the applicable Tax Distribution Date (a “Member Tax Distribution” and, together with Newco Group Members Tax Distributions, “Tax Distributions”).

(ii)  If, on a Tax Distribution Date, there are insufficient funds on hand to distribute to the Members the full amount of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled, Newco Group Members Tax Distributions shall be made in full (to the extent of available funds) and Member Tax Distributions shall be made to the Members to the extent of available funds remaining after such Newco Group Members Tax Distributions in accordance with the Members’ Percentage Interests and the Company shall make future Distributions to the Members as soon as funds become available in a manner such that each Member has received the same aggregate Tax Distributions such Member would have received if there had been sufficient funds available on the applicable Tax Distribution Date to make the full amount of Tax Distributions required to have been made under ‎Section 4.01(b)(i) on such Tax Distribution Date.

(iii)  The amount of any Tax Distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall be treated as having been made pursuant to ‎Section 4.01(a) and shall reduce the amounts that otherwise would be distributed to the Members pursuant to ‎Section 4.01(a).

Section 4.02. Sharing Payments.

(a)  To the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, the Company shall make Sharing Payments out of funds or property legally available therefor in such amounts and on such terms set forth in this ‎Section 4.02; provided that, the Company shall not make a Sharing Payment at any time when a Member has not received all of the Tax Distributions to which it is entitled or (ii) when the Company, in its reasonable discretion, determines that making a Sharing Payment could compromise its ability to make in full the Tax Distributions with respect to the next Tax Distribution Date. Amounts paid pursuant to this ‎Section 4.02 are intended to constitute “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the recipients’ Capital Accounts.

(b)  Following a Sharing Payment to a Member of a Group, the Managing Member shall reduce subsequent Distributions pursuant to ‎Section 4.01(a) to which the Members of the other Group are otherwise entitled by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the deductions that are specially allocated to such Members of the other Group with respect to such Sharing Payment, as determined pursuant to ‎Section 5.03(h). Such reduction in Distributions shall be given effect with respect to the earliest Distributions made pursuant to ‎Section 4.01(a) following the payment of the Sharing Payment. If (i) a transferee is treated as acquiring a Member’s Company Interest pursuant to an Exchange in accordance with the Exchange Agreement and, after such Exchange, such Member continues to hold one or more Common Units, and (ii) such transferring Member has not yet suffered all of the reduction in its Distributions required by this ‎Section 4.02(b), such reduction in Distributions shall apply solely with respect to such Member’s retained Units and shall not apply with respect to the Exchanged Units; provided, that if a Member makes a contribution to the Company pursuant to ‎Section 5.01(d), Distributions to such Member shall not be reduced by this ‎Section 4.02(b) by the amount of such contribution.

(c)  The Sharing Payment due to a Member shall be paid within 10 days of the relevant Determination Date (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement).

Section 4.03. Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any Distribution or Sharing Payment to any Member on account of any Company Interest if such Distribution or Sharing Payment would violate any applicable Law.

Article 5
Capital Accounts; Allocations; Tax Matters

Section 5.01. Capital Accounts.

(a)  A separate capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder including Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Account of each Member as of the date hereof shall be the dollar value set forth opposite the Member’s name on the Schedule of Members.

(b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(a), the Capital Account for each Member shall consist of the Member’s initial Capital Contribution (actual or deemed), increased by any additional Capital Contributions made by the Member, by the Member’s share of all items of Net Income allocated pursuant to ‎Section 5.02 and any items in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to ‎Section 5.03 and by the amount of any Company liabilities which the Member is deemed to assume or which are secured by any Company property distributed to the Member, and decreased by the Member’s share of all items of Net Loss allocated pursuant to ‎Section 5.02 and any items in the nature of loss or deduction which are specifically allocated pursuant to ‎Section 5.03, by any Distributions to the Member and by the amount of any liabilities of the Member which the Company is deemed to assume or which are secured by property contributed by the Member to the Company. A transferee of a Member’s Company Interest (or a portion thereof) shall succeed to the Capital Account of such Member (or the pro rata or other appropriate portion thereof, as applicable); provided that if (i) the transferee is treated as acquiring the Member’s Company Interest pursuant to an Exchange in accordance with the Exchange Agreement and, after such Exchange, such Member continues to hold one or more Common Units, and (ii) such Member’s Capital Account was previously reduced by reason of ‎Section 5.03(h), (A) the amount of the Capital Account of such Member that the transferee succeeds to shall be determined by assuming that such reductions to the Member’s Capital Account had not occurred except to the extent of any corresponding reductions in distributions to such Member pursuant to ‎Section 4.02(b), and (B) the remaining Capital Account of such Member shall be equal to the difference, which can be positive or negative, between (x) such Member’s actual Capital Account immediately prior to the acquisition by the transferee and (y) the amount allocated to the transferee pursuant to clause ‎(A).

(c)  No interest shall be paid on the initial Capital Contributions or on any subsequent Capital Contributions. No amount distributed pursuant to ‎Section 4.01 of this Agreement shall constitute a payment under Code Section 707(a) or Section 707(c).

(d)  Notwithstanding ‎Section 3.08, to the extent that a reduction in a Member’s Capital Account pursuant to ‎Section 5.01(b)(ii)(B) would cause such Member to have a deficit in its Capital Account balance, such Member shall contribute to the capital of the Company the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount required to be contributed to the capital of the Company pursuant to this ‎Section 5.01(d) by any Member shall not exceed the excess (if any) of (i) the aggregate amount specially allocated to such Member under ‎Section 5.03(h) over (ii) the aggregate reductions in distributions to such Member pursuant to ‎Section 4.02.

Section 5.02. Allocations. Subject to the other provisions of this ‎‎Article 5, Net Income, Net Loss, and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income (including gross income), gain, loss or deduction of the Company, for each Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Members so that the Capital Account of each Member, after making such allocation, is, or is as nearly as possible, equal (or in proportion thereto, if the total amount to be allocated is insufficient) to the Distributions that would be made to such Member if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up, and its assets other than money sold for cash equal to their respective Gross Asset Values (which, for the

avoidance of doubt, shall not be booked up or written down to fair market value for this purpose outside of an actual liquidation), all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company (if any) were distributed to the Members in accordance with ‎Section 13.02 immediately after making such allocation. For purposes of, and prior to, making allocations under this ‎Section 5.02, (x) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by any Distributions made with respect to the Fiscal Period, (y) Capital Accounts shall be adjusted for any special allocations required pursuant to ‎Section 5.03 with respect to the Fiscal Period, and (z) each Member’s Capital Account balance shall be deemed to be increased by such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.

Section 5.03. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ‎Section 4.01, the following special allocations will apply.

(a)  Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this ‎Article 5, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Period, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount that equals such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant to such sentence. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This ‎Section 5.03(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b)  Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this ‎Article 5, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Period, each Member that has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount that equals such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain that is attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant to such sentence. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This ‎Section 5.03(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c)  In accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2, any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be specially allocated among the Members in accordance with the Members’ respective Percentage Interests.

(d)  Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(e)  If any Member unexpectedly received any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this ‎Section 5.03(e) shall be made only to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this ‎‎Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this ‎Section 5.03(e) were not in this Agreement. This ‎Section 5.03(e) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(f)  If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Period which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this ‎Section 5.03(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this ‎‎Article 5 have been tentatively made as if Section 5.03(e) and this ‎Section 5.03(f) were not in this Agreement.

(g)  The allocations set forth in Section 5.03 ‎(a)-‎(f), inclusive (the “Regulatory Allocations”), are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. 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 5.03. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this ‎Section 5.03 (other than the Regulatory Allocations) to the contrary, the Managing Member shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to the general allocation provisions.

(h)  The Company shall specially allocate the deduction for each Sharing Payment that accrues pursuant to ‎Section 4.02 to the Members of the Group that does not include the Member that received the Sharing Payment, in accordance with the relative Percentage Interests of such Members.

(i)  The Company shall make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code effective for the Company taxable year that includes the date hereof and all future taxable years. Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the 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 a manner that is consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Treasury Regulations.

Section 5.04. Tax Allocations.

(a)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04‎(b), as of the end of each Fiscal Period, items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, and expense shall be allocated for federal, state, and local income tax purposes among the Members in the same manner as the income, gain, loss, deduction, and expense of which such items are components were allocated to Capital Accounts pursuant to this ‎‎Article 5.

(b)  In accordance with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, Company income, gains, deductions, and losses with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall 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 fair market value at that time (to be computed in accordance with Treasury Regulations). If Company property is revalued in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) at any time, subsequent allocations of Company income, gains, deductions and losses with respect to such property’s revaluation and its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as the variation is taken into consideration under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Managing Member shall (i) select methods under Code Section 704(c) in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Tax Matters Agreement and (ii) apply the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(9) with respect to any partnership interest held directly by the Company or indirectly through pass-through entities.

Section 5.05. Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay any amount to a Governmental Entity (or otherwise makes a payment to a Governmental Entity) that is specifically attributable to a Member or a Member’s status as such (including federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes and state unincorporated business taxes, but excluding payments such as professional association fees and the like made voluntarily by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on behalf of any Member based

upon such Member’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), then such Member shall indemnify the Company or its Subsidiary in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The Managing Member may offset Distributions to which a Member is otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Member’s obligation to indemnify the Company or its Subsidiary under this ‎Section 5.05. A Member’s obligation to make contributions to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under this ‎Section 5.05 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and for purposes of this ‎Section 5.05, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be treated as continuing in existence. Each Member hereby agrees to furnish to the Company or its Subsidiaries such information and forms as required or reasonably requested in order to comply with any laws and regulations governing withholding of tax or in order to claim any reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding to which the Member is legally entitled.

Any vacancies in the position of Managing Member shall be filled in accordance with ‎Section 6.04.

(b)  The day-to-day business and operations of the Company shall be overseen and implemented by officers of the Company (each, an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), subject to the limitations imposed by the Managing Member. An Officer may, but need not, be a Member. Each Officer shall be appointed by the Managing Member and shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Members (other than Newco) have no right under this Agreement to remove or replace the Managing Member.

Section 6.04. Vacancies. Vacancies in the position of Managing Member occurring for any reason shall be filled by Newco (or, if Newco has ceased to exist without any successor or assign, then by the holders of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock of Newco immediately prior to such cessation). For the avoidance of doubt, the Members (other than Newco) have no right under this Agreement to fill any vacancy in the position of Managing Member.

Section 6.05. Transactions Between the Company, the Managing Member and Affiliates.

Section 6.06. Reimbursement for Expenses. The Managing Member shall not be compensated for its services as Managing Member of the Company except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Members acknowledge and agree that, upon the effective time of the Second Merger (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), Newco’s Class A Common Stock will be publicly traded and therefore Newco will have access to the public capital markets and that such status and the services performed by the Managing Member will inure to the benefit of the Company and all Members; therefore, the Managing Member shall be reimbursed by the Company for any expenses incurred on behalf of Newco, the Newco Group Members, or the Company, including all fees, expenses and costs of Newco being a public company (including public reporting

obligations, proxy statements, stockholder meetings, stock exchange fees, transfer agent fees, SEC and FINRA filing fees and offering expenses) and maintaining its corporate existence. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the Managing Member on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the Managing Member by the Company pursuant to this ‎Section 6.06 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code and shall not be treated as Distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

Section 6.07. Delegation of Authority. The Managing Member (a) may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons such authority and duties as the Managing Member may deem advisable, and (b) may assign titles (including chief executive officer, president, chief executive officer, chief financial officers, chief operating officer, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer or assistant treasurer) and delegate certain authority and duties to such Persons as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time.

Section 6.08. Limitation of Liability of Managing Member.

(a)  Except as otherwise provided herein or in an agreement entered into by such Person and the Company, neither the Managing Member nor any of the Managing Member’s Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or to any Member that is not the Managing Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by the Managing Member in its capacity as the sole managing member of the Company pursuant to authority granted to the Managing Member by this Agreement or the DLLCA; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, such limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to the Managing Member’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of Law or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by the Managing Member or its Affiliates contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company. The Managing Member may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent (so long as such agent was selected in good faith and with reasonable care). The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the Managing Member in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Managing Member to liability to the Company or any Member that is not the Managing Member.

(b)  Whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,”

or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Managing Member shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or other Members (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this ‎Section 6.08(b) shall limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties under the Stockholders Agreement).

(c)  Whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Managing Member shall act under such express standard and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the Managing Member acts in good faith, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Managing Member shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or impose liability upon the Managing Member or any of the Managing Member’s Affiliates (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this ‎Section 6.08(c) shall limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties under the Stockholders Agreement).

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit Newco or the

Newco Group Members from executing any guarantee of indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.11. Corporate Opportunities.

(a)  In recognition and anticipation (i) that the Company will not be a wholly-owned subsidiary of GE and that GE will be a significant stockholder of the Company, (ii) that directors, officers and/or employees of GE may serve as directors, managers and/or officers of the Company,

(i)  that, subject to any contractual arrangements that may otherwise from time to time be agreed to between GE, the Company and/or Newco, including the Stockholders Agreement, GE may engage in the same, similar or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage, (iv) that GE may have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunity as the Company and Affiliated Companies thereof, and (v) that, as a consequence of the foregoing, it is in the best interests of the Company that the respective rights and duties of the Company and of GE, and the duties of any directors, managers and/or officers of the Company who are also directors, officers and/or employees of GE be determined and delineated in respect of any transactions between, or opportunities that may be suitable for both, the Company and Affiliated Companies thereof, on the one hand, and GE, on the other hand, the sections of this ‎Section 6.11 shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law regulate and define the conduct of certain of the business and affairs of the Company in relation to GE and the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve GE and its directors, officers and/or employees, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its officers, directors, managers and unitholders in connection therewith. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Units, or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this ‎Section 6.11.

(b)  Newco has entered into the Stockholders Agreement with GE, and, subject to the Stockholders Agreement, the Company may from time to time enter into and perform, and cause or permit any Affiliated Company of the Company to enter into and perform, one or more agreements (or modifications or supplements to pre-existing agreements) with GE pursuant to which the Company or an Affiliated Company thereof, on the one hand, and GE, on the other hand, agree to engage in transactions of any kind or nature with each other and/or agree to compete, or to refrain from competing or to limit or restrict their competition, with each other, including to allocate and to cause their respective directors, managers, officers and/or employees (including any who are directors, managers, officers and/or employees of both) to allocate opportunities between or to refer opportunities to each other. Subject to ‎Section 6.11(d), and except as otherwise agreed in writing (including in the Stockholders Agreement), no such agreement, or the performance thereof by the Company or any Affiliated Company thereof, or GE, shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law be considered contrary to (i)

any fiduciary duty that GE may owe to the Company or any Affiliated Company thereof or to any Member or other owner of an equity interest in the Company or an Affiliated Company thereof by reason of GE being a controlling or significant equityholder of the Company of any Affiliated Company thereof or participating in the control of the Company or of any Affiliated Company thereof or (ii) any fiduciary duty owed by any director, manager and/or officer of the Company or any Affiliated Company thereof who is also a director, manager, officer and/or employee of GE to the Company or such Affiliated Company, or to any equityholder thereof.

Subject to ‎Section 6.11(d), to the fullest extent permitted by Law, GE, as a Member of the Company or as an equityholder of any Affiliated Company thereof, or as a participant in control of the Company or any Affiliated Company thereof, shall not have or be under any fiduciary duty to refrain from entering into any agreement or participating in any transaction referred to above, and no manager and/or officer of the Company who is also a director, officer and/or employee of GE shall have or be under any fiduciary duty to the Company or any Affiliated Company thereof to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company or any Affiliated Company thereof or of GE in respect of any such agreement or transaction or performing any such agreement in accordance with its terms.

(c)  Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and GE, including in the Stockholders Agreement, and subject to ‎Section 6.11(d), GE shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law have no duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Company or (ii) doing business with any client, customer or vendor of the Company, and (except as provided in ‎Section 6.11(d)) neither GE nor any officer, director and/or employee thereof shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law be deemed to have breached its fiduciary duties, if any, to the Company solely by reason of GE’s engaging in any such activity. Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and GE, in the event that GE acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and GE, GE shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law have fully satisfied and fulfilled its fiduciary duty with respect to such corporate opportunity, and the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Law renounces any interest or expectancy in such business opportunity and waives any claim that such business opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to the Company or any Affiliated Company thereof, if GE acts in a manner consistent with the following policy: if GE acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and GE, such corporate opportunity shall belong to GE unless such opportunity was expressly offered to GE in its capacity as a Member of the Company. In the case of any corporate opportunity in which the Company has renounced its interest and expectancy in the previous sentence, GE shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of the Company by reason of the fact that GE acquires or seeks such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another Person, or otherwise does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

(d)  For purposes of this ‎Section 6.11, (1) “Affiliated Company” in respect of the Company shall mean any entity controlled by the Company, (2) “corporate opportunities” shall include, but not be limited to, business opportunities that the Company is financially able to undertake, which are, from their nature, in the line of the Company’s business, are of practical advantage to it and are ones in which the Company, but for ‎Section 6.11(c), would have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of GE or its directors, officers and/or employees will be brought into conflict with that of the Company, and (3) “GE” shall mean GE and its Affiliates (other than the Managing Member, the Company and any entity that is controlled by the Managing Member or the Company).

(e)  Newco will conduct the operations of Newco and its Subsidiaries through the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries.

Article 7
Rights and Obligations of Members

Section 7.01. Limitation of Liability and Duties of Members.

(a)  Except as provided in this Agreement or in the DLLCA, no Member (including the Managing Member) shall be obligated personally for any debts, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a Member or acting as the Managing Member of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the DLLCA shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.

(b)  In accordance with the DLLCA and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. To the extent that a Member may be obligated under the DLLCA or other Delaware law to return to or for the benefit of the Company any Distribution made by the Company to or for the benefit of such Member, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, such obligation shall be deemed to be compromised within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the DLLCA so that, except as required by Law, the Members to whom money or property is distributed shall not be obligated to return such money or property to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

(c)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (subject to ‎Section 6.08 with respect to the Managing Member), to the extent that, at Law or in equity, any Member (or any Member’s Affiliate or any Managing Member, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any Member or of any Affiliate of a Member) has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, to the Managing Member, to another Member, to any Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, all such duties

(including fiduciary duties) are hereby eliminated, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and replaced with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any. The elimination of duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, the Managing Member, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement and replacement thereof with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any, are approved by the Company, the Managing Member, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement.

Section 7.02. Lack of Authority. No Member, other than the Managing Member or a duly appointed Officer, in each case in its capacity as such, has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Company, to do any act that would be binding on the Company or to make any expenditure on behalf of the Company. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Managing Member and the Officers of the powers conferred on them by Law and this Agreement.

Section 7.03. No Right of Partition. No Member, other than the Managing Member, shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of Law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.

(a)  Subject to ‎Section 5.05, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the DLLCA, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement, only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities, damages, and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, interest or penalties) incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member or Affiliate thereof or is or was serving as the Managing Member or an Affiliate thereof or is or was an Officer of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or, while an officer of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as an officer, director, principal, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise; provided, however, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for (i) any expenses, liabilities, damages and losses suffered that are attributable to such Indemnified Person’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of Law or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Indemnified Person or its Affiliates contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company or (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, any taxes or related interest or penalties imposed on such Indemnified Person, including, with respect to any Member, as a result of any allocations to such Member pursuant to ‎Section 5.04. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in

defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(b)  The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this ‎Section 7.04 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, bylaw, action by the Managing Member or otherwise.

(c)  The Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, or substantially equivalent insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified Person against any expense, liability or loss described in ‎Section 7.04(a) whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such expense, liability, damage or loss under the provisions of this ‎Section 7.04. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain property, casualty and liability insurance in types and at levels customary for companies of similar size engaged in similar lines of business, as determined in good faith by the Managing Member, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including employment practices coverage) with a carrier and in an amount determined necessary or desirable as determined in good faith by the Managing Member.

(d)  If this ‎Section 7.04 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this ‎Section 7.04 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this ‎Section 7.04 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 7.05. Members Right to Act. For matters that require the approval of the Members, the Members shall act through meetings and written consents as described in paragraphs ‎(a) and ‎(b) below:

(a)  Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, acts by the Members holding a majority of the Voting Units (which shall in all cases include the Managing Member), voting together as a single class, shall be the acts of the Members. Any Member entitled to vote at a meeting of Members or to express consent or dissent to Company action in writing without a meeting may authorize another Person or Persons to act for it by proxy. An electronic mail or similar transmission by the Member, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Member shall (if stated thereon) be treated as a proxy executed in writing for purposes of this Section 7.05(a). No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven (11) months from the date thereof, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and that the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such

Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

(b)  The actions by the Members permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the Managing Member or by the Members holding a majority of the Voting Units entitled to vote on such matter on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Members entitled to vote, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. The actions taken by the Members entitled to vote or consent at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Members entitled to vote or consent as to whom it was improperly held sign a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof.

The actions by the Members entitled to vote or consent may be taken by vote of the Members entitled to vote or consent at a meeting or by written consent, so long as such consent is signed by Members having not less than the minimum number of Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the action so taken, which shall state the purpose or purposes for which such consent is required and may be delivered via email without a meeting, shall be given to those Members entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent of the Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a meeting thereof.

Section 7.06. Inspection Rights. The Managing Member may, but shall not be required to, permit any Member and each of its designated representatives to (i) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, (ii) examine the corporate and financial records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom, or

(i)  consult with the Managing Member, Officers, employees and independent accountants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries concerning the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The presentation of an executed written consent of the Managing Member by any Member to the Company’s independent accountants shall constitute the Company’s permission to its independent accountants to participate in discussions with such Persons and their respective designated representatives. No Member (other than GE), unless permitted by the Managing Member, shall have any inspection rights under Section 18-305 of the DLLCA.

Article 8
Books, Records, Accounting And Reports, Affirmative Covenants

Section 8.01. Records and Accounting. The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, appropriate books and records with respect to the Company’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to applicable Laws. All matters concerning (a) the determination of the relative amount of allocations and Distributions among the Members pursuant to Articles ‎3 and ‎4 and (b) accounting procedures and determinations, and other determinations not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the Managing Member, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Members absent manifest clerical error.

Section 8.02. Fiscal Year. The Fiscal Year of the Company shall end on December 31 of each year or such other date as may be established by the Managing Member.

Article 9
Tax Matters

Section 9.01. Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a)  The Managing Member shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company, including arranging for the preparation of such tax return by an accounting firm or other qualified adviser; provided, however, that prior to filing the Company’s Internal Revenue Service Form 1065, any material foreign, state or local income tax return of the Company, or any material franchise tax return of the Company, the Managing Member shall submit such tax return no less than thirty (30) days prior to its due date to GE for its review, and shall not file or cause to be filed any such tax return with the applicable taxing authority without the consent of GE, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. GE may object to the filing of such tax return by delivering a written notice to the Managing Member within ten (10) days of receipt of such tax return from the Company. Such written notice shall specify the item or items included in the tax return disputed by GE. After delivery of such written notice, GE and the Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute. If GE and the Managing Member are unable to resolve such dispute within five days, the disputed item or items shall be resolved using the procedures set forth in the Tax Matters Agreement. If GE does not object to the filing of such tax return within ten (10) days of receipt of such tax return from the Managing Member, GE shall be deemed to have consented to the filing of such tax return by the Managing Member. The cost of such preparation and filing shall be borne by the Company.

(b)  Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall make any decisions with respect to tax elections or other decisions relating to taxes of the Company; provided, however, that in the case of any election that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the GE Group Members that is material and

disproportionate as to its effect on the GE Group Members (as compared to its effect on the Newco Group Members), such election shall not be made without the consent of GE, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Managing Member shall cause the Company to furnish to each Member (i) as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of each Fiscal Year such information concerning the Company as is reasonably required for the preparation of such Member’s income tax returns and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of each of the Company’s first three fiscal quarters of each Fiscal Year, such information concerning the Company as is reasonably required to enable the Member to calculate and pay estimated taxes, and (iii) information (including without limitation a Schedule K-1 and any comparable foreign, state and local tax forms) as shall be necessary to enable each Member to prepare its income tax returns and shall provide such information no later than five Business Days after the filing of the Company’s appropriate tax returns.

Section 9.02. Tax Controversies. The Managing Member is hereby designated as “tax matters partner” of the Company (the “Tax Matters Partner”) for purposes of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (as in effect prior to repeal of such section pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015). The Managing Member shall designate the “partnership representative” of the Company (the “Partnership Representative”) for purposes of Section 6223 of the Code and all applicable non-U.S. tax purposes. In the event of any examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, the Managing Member shall control the conduct of such examinations at the Company’s expense and to expend Company funds for professional services reasonably incurred in connection therewith; provided, that the Managing Member shall promptly provide each other Member a written notice informing the Members that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, is the subject of an examination by a tax authority with respect to a material tax return or that could result in a material amount of taxes (including taxes imposed on Members), shall keep each other Member reasonably informed of material developments relating to such examination and not settle such examination, to the extent relating to a matter that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on any Member that is material and disproportionate as to its effect on other Members or their Affiliates, without the consent of such adversely affected Member, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 9.03. Member Tax Matters. Each Member agrees that such Member shall not, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, treat, on such Member’s separate income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to such Member’s interest in the Company in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Company as reflected in the Form K-1 or other information statement furnished by the Company to such Member pursuant to ‎Section 9.01.

Section 9.04. Partnership Continuation. Each Member agrees that the Company is intended to be treated for U.S. federal and, as applicable, state and local income tax purposes as a continuation of Baker Hughes International Partners Holdings SCS within the meaning of Section 708(a) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated

thereunder and any similar provisions of state or local Law, and no such Member shall take any position inconsistent therewith on any tax return.

Article 10
Restrictions on Transfer of Units; Preemptive Rights

Section 10.01. Transfers by Members. No holder of Units or shares of Class B Common Stock may Transfer or permit the Transfer of any interest in any Units or shares of Class B Common Stock, except Transfers (a) pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, (b) pursuant to and in accordance with ‎Section 10.02, (c) by the holders of Equity Securities in Newco (other than Class B Common Stock) or (d) approved in writing by the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include an event that terminates the existence of a Member for income tax purposes (including a change in entity classification of a Member under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3, termination of a partnership pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, a sale of assets by, or liquidation of, a Member pursuant to an election under Sections 336 or 338 of the Code, or merger, severance, or allocation within a trust or among sub-trusts of a trust that is a Member), but that does not in each case terminate the existence of such Member under applicable state law (or, in the case of a trust that is a Member, does not terminate the trusteeship of the fiduciaries under such trust with respect to all the Company Interests of such trust that is a Member).

Section 10.02. Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in ‎Section 10.01 shall not apply to any Transfer (each, together with any Transfer pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, a “Permitted Transfer”) pursuant to (i) Section 4.2(a)(iii) of the Stockholders Agreement, (ii) a Transfer by a Member to Newco or any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) a Transfer to an Affiliate of such Member; provided, however, that (A) the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply to Units after any Permitted Transfer of such Units, and (B) in the case of the foregoing clause ‎(iii), the transferees of the Units so Transferred shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, the transferor will deliver a written notice to the Company and the Members, which will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed transferee.

If a Member Transfers Units pursuant to the foregoing clause ‎(iii) and, while the transferee continues to hold any Units, such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify as an Affiliate (other than by virtue of a Permitted Spin Transaction) in relation to the initial transferor Member from which such Permitted Transferee received such Units (directly or indirectly through a series of Transfers) pursuant to such clause ‎(iii)) (an “Unwinding Event”), then the relevant initial transferor shall (1) promptly notify the other Members and the Company of the pending occurrence of such Unwinding Event and (2) take all actions necessary prior to such Unwinding Event to effect a Transfer of all of the Units held by the relevant Permitted Transferee either back to such initial transferor or to another Person who qualifies as an Affiliate of such initial transferor, in each case subject to ‎Section 10.04. A “Permitted Transferee” is a transferee of a Permitted Transfer contemplated by clauses ‎(i) and ‎(iii) of the first sentence of this ‎Section 10.02.

Section 10.03. Restricted Units Legend. The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is then available. To the extent such Units have been certificated, each certificate evidencing Units and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Units (if such securities remain Units as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [•], AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SPECIFIED IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF BAKER HUGHES HOLDINGS LLC, AS MAY BE AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND BAKER HUGHES HOLDINGS LLC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY BAKER HUGHES HOLDINGS LLC TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates (if any) evidencing Units. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates (if any) evidencing any units which cease to be Units in accordance with the definition thereof.

Section 10.04. Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Units (other than Transfers to the Company pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), the Transferring holder of Units shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement as provided in ‎Section 10.02 and any other agreements (including the Exchange Agreement) executed by the holders of Units and relating to such Units in the aggregate (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company and the other holders of Units counterparts of this Agreement and any applicable Other Agreements. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement (including any prohibited indirect Transfers) (a) shall be void, and (b) the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such securities for any purpose.

Section 10.05. Assignee’s Rights.

(a)  The Transfer of a Company Interest in accordance with this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its Transfer (assuming compliance with all of the

conditions to such Transfer set forth herein), and such Transfer shall be shown on the books and records of the Company. Profits, Losses and other Company items shall be allocated between the transferor and the Assignee according to Section 706 of the Code, using any permissible method as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.

(b)  Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Member pursuant to ‎‎Article 11, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable Law, other than the rights granted specifically to Assignees pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, without relieving the transferring Member from any such limitations or obligations as more fully described in ‎Section 10.06, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Member contained herein that a Member would be bound on account of the Assignee’s Company Interest (including the obligation to make Capital Contributions on account of such Company Interest).

Section 10.06. Assignor’s Rights and Obligations. Any Member who shall Transfer any Company Interest in a manner in accordance with this Agreement shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges, or, except as set forth in this ‎Section 10.06, duties, liabilities or obligations, of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Sections 6.08 and 7.04 shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit), except that unless and until the Assignee (if not already a Member) is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of ‎‎Article 11 (the “Admission Date”), (i) such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest, and (ii) the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and privileges of such Member with respect to such Units or other interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units or other interest in the Company from any liability of such Member to the Company with respect to such Company Interest that may exist on the Admission Date or that is otherwise specified in the DLLCA and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any materially false statement made by such Member (in its capacity as such) or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company.

Section 10.07. Overriding Provisions.

(a)  Any Transfer in violation of this ‎‎Article 10 shall be null and void ab initio, and the provisions of Sections ‎10.05 and ‎10.06 shall not apply to any such Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made or attempted in violation of this ‎‎Article 10 shall not become a Member, shall not be entitled to vote on any matters coming before the Members and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Member of the Company. The approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future

instance. The Managing Member shall promptly amend the Schedule of Members to reflect any Permitted Transfer pursuant to this ‎‎Article 10.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of ‎Section 10.01 and ‎‎Article 11), in no event shall any Member Transfer any Units to the extent such Transfer would:

(i)  result in the violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable federal, state or foreign Laws;

(ii)  cause an assignment under the Investment Company Act;

(iii)  cause the Company to fail to qualify as a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes or, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Transfer was effected on or through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof,” as such terms are used in Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury Regulations;

(iv)  cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code or successor provision of the Code; or

(v)  result in the Company having more than one hundred (100) partners, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)

(1)  (determined pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)).

Article 11
Admission of Members

Section 11.01. Substituted Members. Subject to the provisions of ‎‎Article 10 hereof, in connection with the Permitted Transfer of a Company Interest hereunder, the transferee shall become a substituted Member (“Substituted Member”) on the effective date of such Transfer, which effective date shall not be earlier than the date of compliance with the conditions to such Transfer, and such admission shall be shown on the Schedule of Members.

Section 11.02. Additional Members. Subject to the provisions of ‎‎Article 10 hereof, any Person may be admitted to the Company as an additional Member (any such Person, an “Additional Member”) only upon furnishing to the Managing Member (a) counterparts of this Agreement and any applicable Other Agreements and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Member (including entering into such documents as the Managing Member may deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion). Such admission shall become effective on the date on which the Managing Member determines in its

reasonable discretion that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the Schedule of Members.

Article 12
Withdrawal and Resignation; Termination of Rights

Section 12.01. Withdrawal and Resignation of Members. No Member shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign as a Member from the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to ‎‎Article 13. Any Member, however, that attempts to withdraw or otherwise resign as a Member from the Company without the prior written consent of the Managing Member upon or following the dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to ‎‎Article 13, but prior to such Member receiving the full amount of Distributions from the Company to which such Member is entitled pursuant to ‎‎Article 13, shall be liable to the Company for all damages (including all lost profits and special, indirect and consequential damages) directly or indirectly caused by the withdrawal or resignation of such Member. Upon a Transfer of all of a Member’s Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement, subject to the provisions of ‎Section 10.06, such Member shall cease to be a Member.

Article 13
Dissolution and Liquidation

Section 13.01. Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members or the attempted withdrawal or resignation of a Member. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, only upon:

(a)  the unanimous decision of the Managing Member together with the Members that then hold Voting Units to dissolve the Company;

(b)  a dissolution of the Company under Section 18-801(a)(4) of the DLLCA, unless the Company is continued without dissolution as permitted under Section 18-801(a)(4) of the DLLCA; or

(c)  the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the DLLCA.

Except as otherwise set forth in this ‎‎Article 13, the Company is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 13.02. Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final Distributions as provided herein and in the DLLCA. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until termination of the Company, the

liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Managing Member. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

(a)  as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(b)  the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine): first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company; and

(c)  all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with ‎‎Article 4 by the end of the taxable year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in making such distributions in accordance with ‎‎Article 4, the Company shall reduce the amount to which a Member is entitled pursuant to ‎Section 4.01(a) by the aggregate amount of reductions in Distributions to such Member required by ‎Section 4.02(b), to the extent that such reductions were not previously taken into account by actually reducing Distributions to such Member, and an amount equal to such reduction in liquidating Distributions shall be distributed to the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest.

Section 13.03. Deferment; Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of ‎Section 13.02, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Company the liquidators determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss (or would otherwise not be beneficial) to the Members, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities (other than loans to the Company by Members) and reserves. Subject to the order of priorities set forth in ‎Section 13.02, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, either (a) all or any portion of such remaining Company assets in kind in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 13.02(c), (b) as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 13.02(c), undivided interests in all or any portion of such Company assets or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Any such Distributions in kind shall be subject to (y) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (z) the terms and conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. Any Company assets distributed in-kind will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with ‎‎Article 5. The liquidators shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth in ‎‎Article 14.

Section 13.04. Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the winding up and liquidation of the Company as provided herein, the Company is terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Managing Member (or such other Person or Persons as the DLLCA may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this ‎Section 13.04.

Section 13.05. Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Sections ‎13.02 and ‎13.03 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

Section 13.06. Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Members (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from and to the extent of Company assets available therefor).

Article 14
Valuation

Section 14.01. Determination. “Fair Market Value” of a specific asset will mean the amount which the seller would receive in an all-cash sale of such asset in an arms-length transaction with a willing unaffiliated third party buyer, with neither party having any compulsion to buy or sell, consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale), as such amount is determined by the Managing Member (or, if pursuant to ‎Section 13.02, the liquidators) in its good faith judgment using all factors, information and data it deems to be pertinent.

Section 14.02. Dispute Resolution. If any Member or Members dispute the accuracy of any determination of Fair Market Value in accordance with ‎Section 14.01, and the Managing Member and such Member(s) are unable to agree on the determination of the Fair Market Value of any asset of the Company, the Managing Member and such Member(s) shall each select a nationally recognized investment banking firm experienced in valuing assets or securities of similarly situated companies in the Company’s industry (the “Appraisers”), who shall each determine the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 14.01. The Appraisers shall be instructed to give written notice of their determination of the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) within thirty (30) days of their appointment as Appraisers.

If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is higher than Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser by 10% or more, and the Managing Member

and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the original Appraisers shall designate a third Appraiser meeting the same criteria used to select the original two, whose determination shall be binding. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser selected by the Members is within 10% of the Fair Market Value as determined by the other such Appraiser (but not identical), and the Managing Member and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the Managing Member shall select the Fair Market Value of one of such Appraisers. The fees and expenses of the Appraisers shall be borne by the Company.

Article 15
General Provisions

Section 15.01. Power of Attorney.

(a)  Each Member hereby constitutes and appoints the Managing Member (or each liquidator, if applicable) with full power of substitution, as its, his or her true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its, his or her name, place and stead, to:

Section 15.02. Title to Company Assets. Company assets shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. The Company shall hold title to all of its property in the name of the Company and not in the name of any Member. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held.

(i)  waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement. Nothing in this ‎Section 15.05 shall prevent any party from bringing an action or proceeding in any jurisdiction to enforce any judgment of the Chancery Court or any federal court located in the State of Delaware, as applicable. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in ‎Section 15.03 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement.

(c)  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.

Section 15.06. Counterparts; Electronic Transmission of Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, and delivered by means of electronic mail transmission or otherwise, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 15.07. Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a)  This Agreement and all of the provisions hereto shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations set forth herein shall be assigned by any party hereto without the

prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void.

(b)  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 15.08. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable Law, then such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Such provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, and if no such modification shall render it legal, valid and enforceable, then this Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the provision held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

Section 15.09. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Transaction Agreement and, as applicable, the other Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in favor of any Person.

Section 15.10. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified upon the consent of the Majority Members and the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification (a) to this ‎Section 15.10 may be made without the prior written consent of the Managing Member and each of the Members, (b) to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which terms and conditions expressly require the approval or action of certain Persons may be made without obtaining the consent of the requisite number or specified percentage of such Persons who are entitled to approve or take action on such matter, and (c) to any of the terms and conditions of ‎‎Article 6 or ‎Section 13.01 (and related definitions as used directly or indirectly therein) may be made without the prior written consent of the Managing Member, which consent may be given or withheld in the Managing Member’s sole discretion.

Section 15.11. Waiver. Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived at any time by any of the parties entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by each such party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of or estopped with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 15.12. Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the Company or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire

(except pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement executed by the Company in favor of such creditor) at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in Company Profits, Losses, Distributions, capital or property other than as a secured creditor.

Section 15.13. Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 15.14. Right of Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum (other than pursuant to ‎‎Article 4) to any Member, any amounts that such Member owes to the Company which are not the subject of a good faith dispute may be deducted from that sum before payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the distribution of Units to Newco shall not be subject to this ‎Section 15.14.

Section 15.15. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other modification to any agreement, document or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict. References to agreements or other documents shall be deemed to refer to such agreement or other document as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time.

References to any Law or statute shall be deemed to refer to such Law or statute, together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as may be amended from time to time and any successor thereto.
