(b)            No expenditures or commitments for expenditures may be made by the Company, or any Member on behalf of the Company, if such expenditure individually or in the aggregate with other expenditures or commitments results in a deviation from any Initial Budget or Annual Budget, as applicable, then in effect that increases the costs and expenses incurred by the Company in the applicable period covered by the Initial Budget or Annual Budget, as applicable, by an amount equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the aggregate projected costs and expenditures set forth in such Initial Budget or Annual Budget, as applicable.

Section 2.9      Company Interests; Units. The Company Interests shall be represented by units (“Units”). The total Units and the number of Units of each class or series which the Company has authority to issue shall be determined by the Board from time to time (which determination the Board shall cause to be reflected on the Schedule of Members) and as of the date hereof shall consist of 100,000,000 Units, all of which shall be voting Units. The Units shall not be certificated, provided the Board may in its discretion cause the Company to issue certificates representing Units from time to time. The Company may issue fractional Units. The Members hereby agree that the Units shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction). The Company is authorized to issue up to an additional 5,000,000 Units (the “Management Incentive Units”) to employees, consultants and other services providers of the Company or any Subsidiary, which will have the rights and obligations set forth herein and in a management incentive plan adopted by the Board and will be subject to the terms of applicable award agreements (including with respect to vesting), in each case as determined by the Board from time to time. On or prior to the adoption of a management incentive plan by the Board, the Board shall cause such amendments to this Agreement as necessary to be entered into so that the Management Incentive Units will be structured as “profits interests” as that term is used in Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 or, to the extent Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 are superseded by the proposed regulations referenced in IRS Notice 2005-43, then to the extent such regulations are applicable, if at all, to such Management Incentive Units.

Section 2.10      Intellectual Property.

(a)            As promptly as practicable following the date hereof (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof), FX shall cause access to be granted to the Company of all information and data for the Model C and Model E Designs necessary for the Company to commence the Pre-Development Activities. FX shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be granted to the Company within sixty (60) days of the date hereof, a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, license to the Intellectual Property that FX or one or more of its Affiliates owns or has the right to use with respect to the Model C and Model E Designs (the “FX Background IP”) for use by the Company in conducting the In-Scope Business (the “FX Background IP License”) on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, including the right to sublicense the FX Background IP to the Members in connection with the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.10(c).

(b)            The Company will exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by the Company that describes, embodies or protects any EC Vehicle designed by the Company or is conceived, developed or reduced to practice by any employee of any Member that describes, embodies or protects any EC Vehicle within the In-Scope Business and is based on the MIH platform (the “Vehicle Foreground IP”).

(c)            The Company will exclusively license any Vehicle Foreground IP (i) to LMC or any of its Affiliates for use in the North American commercial market, subject to terms and conditions, including customary and reasonable licensing fees, that are agreed upon by the Board and LMC, and (ii) to FX or any of its Affiliates for use outside of North America, subject to terms and conditions, including customary and reasonable licensing fees, that are agreed upon by the Board and FX.

Article III

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 3.1      Commitments, Capital Contributions and Issuance of Company Interests.

(a)            Capital Commitments and Capital Contributions. In furtherance and support of the Company, each of FX and LMC hereby agrees to make Capital Contributions to the Company as follows:

(i)            Within forty-five (45) days of the date hereof (and subject to the Company having established the required banking account), each of FX and LMC shall fund its Pro Rata Share of the Initial Capital Contribution by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Board. The Company shall utilize the Initial Capital Contribution to fund the Initial Expenditures.

(ii)            Thereafter, each of FX and LMC shall fund its Pro Rata Share of additional Capital Contributions in such amounts and at such times as set forth in the Initial Budget or Annual Budget in effect at such time, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Board; provided, that in the event no Initial Budget has been approved by the Board by sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of this Agreement, then on the fifth (5^th) Business Day of each calendar month thereafter until the earlier to occur of (x) each Member having funded aggregate Capital Contributions equal to its Capital Commitment and (y) approval of the Initial Budget by the Board, each of FX and LMC shall fund Capital Contributions to the Company in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Minimum Monthly Contribution by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Board. So long as the Initial Budget has not been approved, proceeds from the Minimum Monthly Contributions may only be used to fund expenditures within the categories set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto and Initial Expenditures.

(iii)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Member be required to make aggregate Capital Contributions to the Company in excess of its Capital Commitment.

(iv)            Each Member that makes a Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall receive a number of Units equal to (A) the aggregate amount of such Capital Contribution divided by (B) $1.00 (the “Unit Price”).

(v)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, FX and LMC acknowledge and agree that LMC’s obligations to make any Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) FX or one of its Affiliates (the “FX Lender”) shall have delivered to LMC a duly executed copy of an FX Financing Note in the aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Capital Contributions required to be made by LMC; and (B) following the due execution and delivery of such FX Financing Note by the parties thereto, the FX Lender shall not have breached its obligation to make the advance to LMC required under such FX Financing Note in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, LMC will not be deemed a Defaulting Member under Section 3.2 if it does not make a Capital Contribution otherwise required under this Section 3.1(a) as a result of the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) in the immediately preceding sentence not being satisfied.

(b)            Emergency Funding.

(i)            The Members shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to make Member Loans, pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Percentages, of the amounts determined necessary by the Board to fund emergency expenditures to (A) prevent imminent risk to health and safety to employees or others Persons, (B) prevent imminent damage to Company property, (C) replace Company property damaged due to casualty (but only to the extent of any shortfall in insurance proceeds), or (D) avoid or cure a default under any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to an unrelated third party (such amounts, “Emergency Funding”). Upon the Board making such a determination that an Emergency Funding is necessary, the Company shall provide each Member with notice not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested funding date of such Member Loans, which notice shall include (i) the requested funding date of such Member Loans, (ii) the aggregate amount of funding the Company is seeking from all Members in respect of such Emergency Funding, (iii) the amount that may be loaned by such Member (pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Percentages), (iv) the account to which such Member Loans shall be paid and (v) the purpose for which such Emergency Funding will be used. If any Member elects not to make its pro rata portion (in accordance with their respective relative Ownership Percentages) of such Member Loans or fails to timely make such Member Loans (such amount of unfunded Member Loans, the “Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount”), the Company shall notify any other Member making its full pro rata portion (in accordance with its Ownership Percentage) of such Member Loan (a “Participating Member”) of such Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount, which notice shall include (i) the requested funding date for such Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days following such notice), (ii) the aggregate Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount and (iii) the account to which such Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount shall be paid. Each Participating Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make additional Member Loans equal to the Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount; provided, that if more than one Participating Member elects to make additional Member Loans that collectively exceed the Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount, each such Participating Member’s additional Member Loans shall be reduced ratably (in accordance with their respective relative portions of the Member Loans such Participating Members committed (and did not fail to timely fund) prior to any Unfunded Emergency Funding Amount) by an amount equal to such excess.

(ii)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without complying with the notice procedures set forth in Section 3.1(b)(i), accept a Member Loan from any Member if the Board determines that the funding of such Emergency Funding on an expedited basis (relative to the procedures set forth in Section 3.1(b)(i)) is necessary in exigent circumstances to prevent an imminent material and adverse impact on the business or operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided, that promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the funding of such Member Loan, such Member shall offer to each other Member the right to purchase, at par value (without any accrual for interest thereon), such other Member’s pro rata amount (in accordance with their respective relative Ownership Percentages) of such Member Loan, which offer shall remain open for at least 30 days before terminating and specify in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to such Member Loan, together with wire instructions for purposes of such purchase, and to accept such offer the other Member shall fund its pro rata amount (in accordance with its Ownership Percentage) thereof (or such lesser amount as such Member shall elect, in its sole discretion) while such offer remains open and upon any such acceptance and funding, the other Member shall be deemed to have purchased its funded portion of such Member Loan (and thereafter hold such portion of the Member Loan in lieu of the offering Member).

(iii)            A “Member Loan” is a loan that shall (i) be unsecured, (ii) bear interest at a per annum interest rate (accruing daily and compounding annually, to the extent not paid in cash) equal to three percent (3%), (iii) have no stated maturity or scheduled amortization, but be mandatorily repaid by the Company solely out of Distributable Cash (and shall, upon such payment, reduce Distributable Cash correspondingly) before any distributions are made to the Members pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 8.2, (iv) not be subject to any rights of acceleration of maturity, notwithstanding the occurrence of any event of default in connection with such loan, (v) have no up-front, commitment, arrangement, prepayment, breakage, “make-whole” or other fees (apart from the interest described in clause (ii) above), (vi) be non-Transferrable, except in connection with a Permitted Transfer or Transfer of Membership Interests (with any Transfer of Member Loans by a Member that is not a Permitted Transfer to be in the same percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of Member Loans held by such Member as the percentage of the Membership Interests held by such Member being so Transferred), (vii) not be deemed to be a Capital Contribution and not be convertible into Membership Interests, (viii) at the option of the Member making the Member Loan, be represented by a promissory note in customary form consistent with this Section 3.1(b)(iii).

(c)            Additional Issuances of Equity Interests. Subject to Section 3.3 and Section 5.3(a)(iv), the Board shall have the right at any time and from time to time to cause the Company to create and/or issue Equity Interests at such price and on such other terms and conditions as shall be determined and approved by the Board (including other classes, groups or series thereof having such relative rights, powers, and/or obligations as may from time to time be established by the Board, including rights, powers, and/or obligations different from, senior to or more favorable than existing classes, groups and series of Equity Interests), in which event, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board shall have the power, subject to Section 5.3(a)(iv), to amend this Agreement to reflect such creation and/or additional issuances and dilution and to make any such other amendments as it deems necessary or desirable (in its sole discretion) to reflect such creation and/or additional issuances and dilution (including amending this Agreement to increase the authorized number of Equity Interests of any class, group or series, to create and authorize a new class, group or series of Equity Interests and to add the terms of such new class, group or series of Equity Interests including economic and governance rights which may be different from, senior to or more favorable than the other existing Equity Interests), in each case without the approval or consent of any other Person.

(d)            Schedule of Members. The Company shall create and maintain a Schedule of Members, setting forth the name and address of each Member, the number and class of Units held by each such Member, each Member’s Ownership Percentage, the aggregate Capital Contributions of each Member and the aggregate Capital Commitment of each Member (the “Schedule of Members”). A copy of the Schedule of Members, as of the date hereof, is attached hereto as Schedule 3.1. Upon any additional Capital Contribution or change in the number, amount or ownership of outstanding Units, the Company shall update the Schedule of Members. Any update to the Schedule of Members made in accordance with this Agreement shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Schedule of Members shall be deemed to be a reference to the Schedule of Members as validly updated and in effect from time to time.

Section 3.2      Default Funding.

(a)            Right to Fund Shortfall Amounts. If a Member fails to fund all or any portion of its Capital Commitment when due pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (such Member failing to fund, a “Defaulting Member”), the Company shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days after such funding default, provide written notice (a “Default Notice”) to each Member setting forth: (i) the name of the Defaulting Member; (ii) the aggregate amount required to have been funded by such Defaulting Member for such contribution; (iii) the amount actually funded (if any) by such Defaulting Member for such contribution; and (iv) the shortfall amount calculated by subtracting the amount described in clause (iii) from the amount described in clause (ii) (such amount, the “Shortfall Amount”). Any other Member that is not identified as a Defaulting Member in such Default Notice (each, a “Non-Defaulting Member”), shall have the option to fund all or any portion of the Shortfall Amount set forth in the Default Notice by delivering written notice thereof to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Default Notice. If a Non-Defaulting Member elects to fund all or a portion of the Shortfall Amount within such time period (if so elected, a “Default Funding” and such Member, an “Electing Member”), then such Default Funding, when paid to the Company, shall constitute a Capital Contribution (a “Default Contribution”).

(b)            Issuance of Company Interests. The Company shall issue to each Non-Defaulting Member that has funded a Default Contribution additional Units equal to (A) the aggregate amount of such Default Contribution funded by such Electing Member divided by (B) the Unit Price.

Section 3.3      Pre-Emptive Right. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries proposes (following approval by the Board) to sell any Equity Interest in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person in a transaction or transactions other than (a) Equity Interests issued to another entity or its owners in connection with the acquisition of all or a portion of such entity or its assets that is approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) Equity Interests offered to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to employee benefit plans, equity incentive plans or arrangements approved by the Board in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including upon the exercise of employee equity options granted pursuant to any such plans or arrangements) or (c) Equity Interests issued by a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company, each Member shall have the right to purchase directly or through any Affiliate a percentage of such Equity Interests equal to such Member’s Ownership Percentage. Any participation pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be on the same terms and conditions as applied to all offerees in the respective offering. In the event of a proposed transaction or transactions, as the case may be, that would give rise to preemptive rights of the Members, the Company shall provide notice (the “Initial Notice”) to the Members no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the expected consummation of such transaction or transactions. Each Member shall provide notice of its election to exercise such rights within five (5) Business Days after delivery of such Initial Notice from the Company. The failure of a Member to respond to the Initial Notice and affirmatively exercise its preemptive right in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed an election not to exercise its preemptive right in connection with such proposed transaction or transactions. If a Member fails to exercise its preemptive right with respect to all or any portion of the Equity Interests subject to that preemptive right and any other Member(s) exercise their preemptive rights in full, the Company shall give the exercising Member(s) notice and the exercising Member(s) shall have the right to elect to purchase their pro rata share (calculated based on the exercising Member(s) Ownership Percentage) of the Equity Interests subject to the unexercised preemptive right, all in accordance with the procedure set forth above in this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4      Refinancing of FX Financing Notes. On or prior to the date that any FX Financing Note matures in accordance with its terms (a “Maturing FX Note”), so long as no Event of Default (as defined in such Maturing FX Note) has occurred and is continuing, FX shall provide an FX Advance to LMC in the aggregate principal amount necessary to repay all obligations due at maturity on such Maturing FX Note; provided, that FX’s obligations under this Section 3.4 shall not apply to any FX Financing Note that matures on or after December 31, 2025.

Article IV

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.1      Distributions.

(a)            Subject to applicable Laws and the provisions of Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.1(d), the Company shall make Distributions of Excess Cash to the Members in respect of their Units at any time and from time to time (i) as approved by the Board or (ii) after the Company’s first commercial launch of an EC Vehicle, as requested by a Member in writing, provided that a Member may not request a Distribution more than once per Fiscal Year.

(b)            Subject to applicable Laws and Section 8.2, all Distributions shall be made to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Percentages at the time such Distribution is approved by the Board or is otherwise required to be made pursuant to Section 4.1(a).

(c)            If the Company has, pursuant to any clear and manifest accounting or similar error, paid any Member an amount in excess of the amount to which it is entitled pursuant to this Article IV, such Member shall reimburse the Company to the extent of such excess, without interest, within thirty (30) days after demand by the Company, and, upon receipt of such funds, the Company shall redistribute such funds in accordance with Section 4.1(b).

(d)            For the avoidance of doubt, any Distributions to be made to the Members following the dissolution of the Company shall be made in accordance with Section 8.2.

Section 4.2      Tax Withholding. As further described below in this Section 4.2, where withholding is required by Law, the Company shall be responsible for withholding any and all Taxes in relation to payments made pursuant to this Agreement, including payments made with respect to any Distributions. The Company shall remit the Taxes withheld to the relevant Tax Authority and provide the applicable Member with the withholding Tax receipt or reasonable supporting document and/or evidence of such remittance in a timely manner.

(a)            Documentation. Promptly upon request, each Member shall provide the Partnership Representative with any information related to such Member necessary to (i) allow the Company to comply with any Tax reporting, Tax withholding or Tax payment obligations of the Company, or (ii) establish the Company’s legal entitlement to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax, including U.S. federal withholding Tax under Sections 1471 and 1472 of the Code. The withholdings referred to in this Section 4.2(a) shall be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under applicable Tax Law unless the Company and the Partnership Representative receive documentation, satisfactory to the Partnership Representative, to the effect that a lower rate is applicable, or that no withholding is applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if requested by the Partnership Representative, each Member shall, if legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company: (x) an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Partnership Representative that the applicable Member (or its partners or members, as the case may be) is not subject to withholding under the provisions of any U.S. federal, state, or local, foreign or other Law; (y) any certificate that the Company or the Partnership Representative may reasonably request with respect to any such Laws; and/or (z) any other form, instrument, declaration or other document reasonably requested by the Company or the Partnership Representative relating to any Member’s status under such Law.

(b)            Authorization. The Company is hereby authorized at all times to make payments with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Partnership Representative, which may be based on the advice of legal or Tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Authority with respect to any Distribution or allocation by the Company to such Member and to withhold the same from Distributions to such Member. In the event that the Partnership Representative determines that withholding is required with respect to any Distribution or allocation by the Company to a Member, the Partnership Representative shall use its best efforts to notify such Member promptly so that the Member may have the opportunity to establish an exemption or reduced rate of withholding with respect to such Tax. The Company is further authorized to make payments with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as determined by the Partnership Representative, which may be based on the advice of legal or Tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to a Tax Authority with respect to any payments made to the Company. In the event that the Distributions or proceeds to the Company are reduced on account of Taxes withheld at the source or any Taxes are otherwise required to be paid by the Company and such Taxes are imposed on or with respect to one or more, but not all of the Members in the Company, the amount of the reduction shall be borne by the relevant Members. Any amounts paid to a Tax Authority pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) shall be deemed distributed to the applicable Member with respect to which such amounts were withheld for all purposes of this Agreement, and taken into account in determining the amount of future Distributions to such Member pursuant to Section 4.2(c).

(c)            Deemed Loan. Any withholding pursuant to Section 4.2(b) made by the Company to a Tax Authority on behalf of a Member and not simultaneously withheld from a Distribution or payment to that Member shall, with interest thereon accruing from the date of payment at a rate equal to the floating rate of the one-year LIBOR Rate plus 2.0% per annum, be treated as a loan, and: (i) be repaid by reducing the amount of the next succeeding Distribution or Distributions to be made to such Member; or (ii) at the reasonable discretion of the Partnership Representative, be promptly repaid to the Company, in whole or in part, by the Member on whose behalf the withholding was made (which repayment by the Member shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution for purposes of Article III and shall not reduce the amount of such Member’s unfunded Capital Commitment). Interest shall cease to accrue from the time the Member on whose behalf the withholding was made repays such withholding (and all accrued interest) by either method of repayment described above. A Member’s obligation to repay any amount treated as a loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon pursuant to the foregoing shall survive the winding up and dissolution of the Company and any Transfer of such Member’s Company Interests, and the Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each such Member under this Section 4.2(c) notwithstanding such winding up, dissolution or Transfer.

Article V

MANAGEMENT

Section 5.1      Authority of Board. Except for situations in which (a) the approval of the Members or any specific Member is required by this Agreement or the Delaware Act or (b) the authority of the Board is otherwise limited by the terms of this Agreement, and in each case subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Board shall direct and exercise full supervisory control over all activities of the Company, and have the power to bind or take any action on behalf of the Company within its scope and in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no individual Manager acting in his capacity as a “manager” shall have the authority to bind the Company except as a member of the Board acting collectively as the Board, and all actions by the Managers shall be taken collectively as the Board, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.2      Composition of the Board.

(a)            The initial authorized number of Managers on the Board shall be five (5). FX’s initial Manager shall be Jerry Hsiao and LMC’s initial Manager shall be Edward Hightower.

(b)            The number of Managers serving on the Board at any time shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 5.2(c). Each Manager shall hold office until his or her death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal.

(c)            Each Member shall take all necessary action to effectuate fully the provisions in this Section 5.2 to ensure that the Board consists of the Managers that are duly designated, elected or appointed in accordance with this Section 5.2, including by promptly calling and/or voting, as the case may be, in any annual or special meetings or promptly participating in an action by written consent such that the Board shall be composed as follows:

(i)            Each initial Member shall be entitled to appoint a number of Managers equal to the total number of Managers multiplied by its Ownership Percentage, round up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole number. If at any time LMC owns less than 20% but 10% or more of the Ownership Percentages,

then LMC shall be entitled to designate a board observer who shall be entitled to notice of all meetings and distributions of all materials in the same manner and at the same time as such notices and materials are provided to the Managers, and shall be entitled to attend all meetings of Managers (but not to vote on any matters thereat).

(ii)            If at any point the number of Managers that a Member is entitled to appoint is reduced pursuant to the preceding, the other Member may remove as a Manager the appropriate number of such Member Manager(s) and fill the vacancy or vacancies caused by such removal.

(d)            Subject to Section 5.2(c), the removal of any Manager from the Board may be effected only by the Member entitled to appoint such Manager.

(e)            If any Manager ceases to serve as a member of the Board during such Manager’s term of office by reason of death, disability, resignation or removal, the resulting vacancy on the Board shall be filled by the Member entitled to appoint such Manager pursuant to Section 5.2(c).

(f)            The Managers (including the Chairperson) shall not be compensated for their services as members of the Board. Each Member shall be solely responsible for all out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Managers appointed by such Member in connection with their service on the Board, including, in each case, attending any meeting of the Board.

(g)            FX shall be entitled to designate one (1) of its Manager appointees to serve as Chairperson of the Board (the “Chairperson”). The Chairperson’s duties shall be strictly limited to convening meetings of the Board and establishing meeting agendas. The Chairperson shall not in this capacity have the authority contractually or legally to bind the Company. The Chairperson shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the Board, other than in such individual’s capacity as a Manager and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Chairperson shall not have a casting vote to break any tie among the Managers that may arise on matters submitted to a vote of the Board.

(h)            A Member shall be entitled to appoint a number of Managers to any committee of the Board formed by the Board in proportion to the number of Managers such Member is entitled to appoint to the Board; provided, that absent a specific grant of authority from the Board, no committee of the Board shall have any authority to bind the Board or the Company and no act of any committee shall be deemed to be the act of the Board.

Section 5.3      Meetings.

(a)            Votes per Manager; Quorum; Required Vote for Board Action.

(i)            Each Manager shall have one vote; provided that if any FX Manager or LMC Manager is absent or if there is a vacancy in the FX Managers or LMC Managers at any time when there is at least one (1) FX Manager or LMC Manager, as the case may be (for example, if FX has only designated one (1) of its initial three (3) Managers), the vote of each Manager appointed by such Member present at a meeting (or consenting to any written consent) shall be automatically multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Managers that may be appointed by such Member pursuant to Section 5.2(c)(i) and the denominator of which is the number of Managers that may be appointed by such Member pursuant to Section 5.2(c)(i) that is present or consenting.

(ii)            Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, at least one (1) Manager appointed by each of FX and LMC, either present (in person or by teleconference) or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Board; provided that if (A) two (2) consecutive Board meetings with respect to the same subject matter are duly called and (B) there is not at least one (1) Manager appointed by a Member in attendance at either of those meetings, then attendance by such Member’s Managers will not be required for a quorum at a third duly called meeting of the Board with respect to such subject matter. The Company shall provide copies of the minutes of each meeting of the Board to any Managers not in attendance promptly following such meeting.

(iii)            Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, any action (including the giving of consent, waivers or approvals) by the Board shall require the affirmative vote of, or written consent signed by, the Managers holding a majority of the number of votes held by all Managers then entitled to be appointed.

(iv)            Without the approval of the Board, which approval shall include at least one (1) Manager designated by LMC for so long as LMC’s Ownership Percentage is at least thirty percent (30%), none of the Board or any Manager shall have the power or authority to cause the Company to engage in any of the following:

(A)            any merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company;

(B)            any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;

Section 7.5          Certain Tax Matters.

(a)            Partnership Solely for U.S. Tax Purposes. The Members intend and agree that the Company shall be characterized as a “partnership” for United States federal, state and local income Tax purposes and that the Company be operated in a manner consistent with its treatment as a partnership for such purposes. The Members shall not take any position on any Tax return or any action or make any election that is inconsistent with such characterization. Consistent with the foregoing, notwithstanding Section 5.3(a)(iv)(Q), the Partnership Representative shall take all appropriate actions to ensure that the Company shall be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income Tax purposes, including the making of available Tax elections. Neither the Company nor any Member shall take any action inconsistent with the express intent of the parties as set forth in this Section 7.5(a). Pursuant to the foregoing, the provisions of Exhibit E shall be applicable solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local Taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Company Interest or share of Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the manner in which the Members report their share of the Company’s results for financial accounting or any other non-U.S. Tax purposes. In the event the Partnership Representative desires to make an election to characterize the Company for U.S. federal, state or local income Tax purposes as other than a partnership or change the Tax classification of a Subsidiary, the Partnership Representative, prior to causing the Company to make such election, shall obtain the approval of the Board.

(b)           Taxable Year. The Taxable year of the Company (the “Taxable Year”) shall be the Fiscal Year. Each Member shall provide such information as may be needed in order to determine the Taxable Year of the Company.

(c)           Tax Returns; Tax Compliance. The Company shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, in accordance with applicable Law, all income and other Tax returns and other similar Tax reports and filings of the Company and shall cause the same to be filed in a timely manner (including extensions) with the appropriate Tax Authorities. In addition, the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, any other action required for it to be in compliance with applicable Law in relation to Tax and accounting matters, including withholding Tax and paying that Tax to the appropriate Tax Authority as required by applicable Law. The Company shall provide the Members with copies of the draft material income Tax returns to be filed by the Company for review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled filing thereof, and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with any Member to ensure that such Member’s comments are reasonably taken into account in any such Tax returns. Within fourteen (14) days after the filing of each such return, the Company shall provide the Members with a copy of all the material income Tax returns filed. The Company shall also provide the Members promptly after receipt thereof, any Tax receipts or related evidence of payments related to such Tax returns. The Partnership Representative may cause the Company to retain a “Big Four” or other nationally recognized accounting firm to prepare any required United States Tax returns, information returns or other filings, which shall be signed by the Partnership Representative. Each Member is responsible for the preparation and filing of its own income and other Tax returns.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to distribute all necessary Tax information to each Member as soon as practicable after the end of each Taxable Year but not later than six months after the end of each Taxable Year.

(e)           Partnership Representative. A Manager or other individual designated by the Board shall be the Partnership Representative. The Partnership Representative is authorized and required to represent the Company in connection with all examinations, audits and Claims in respect of the Company’s affairs by U.S. federal, state or local Tax Authorities, including any resulting administrative and judicial proceedings (each such examination or Claim, a “Tax Proceeding”), and to expend funds for professional services and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The Partnership Representative shall keep the Members fully apprised of any action required to be taken or which may be taken by the Partnership Representative for the Company with respect to any such Tax Proceeding. The Partnership Representative shall keep the Board and the Members reasonably informed of the progress of any Tax Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining each of the Members’ prior written consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) provide the Members an opportunity to participate in all material developments involved in such Tax Proceeding, (b) give the Members prompt notice of, and provide the Members an opportunity to provide comments to, any material submission to a Tax Authority, or to any court in connection with any such Tax Proceedings, (c) give prompt notice to the Members of its intention to meet with any representative of a Tax Authority prior to such meeting, and (d) provide the Members or their agents, legal counsel, employees or accountants with an opportunity to participate in such meeting.

(f)            Company Level Tax Adjustments.

(i)            Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.5(f), the Partnership Representative is authorized to make any available election related to Code Sections 6221 through 6241 and take any action it reasonably deems necessary to comply with the requirements of the Code and conduct the Company’s affairs under Code Sections 6221 through 6241. The Partnership Representative shall direct the defense and administration of any claims made by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to the extent that such claims relate to the adjustment of Company items at the Company level and, in connection therewith, shall cause the Company to retain and to pay the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors, such counsel or advisors chosen by the Partnership Representative. At all times, the Partnership Representative shall promptly deliver to the Board a copy of all notices, communications, reports and writings received from the IRS relating to or potentially resulting in an adjustment of Company items. The Partnership Representative shall provide to the Board a copy of any correspondence or filing to be submitted by the Company in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the determination of Company items at the Company level.

(ii)            The Partnership Representative shall, with respect to any “imputed underpayment” of the Company as determined under Code Section 6225 (“Imputed Underpayment”), notify each Member of its share of such Imputed Underpayment, and each Member agrees to contribute cash to the Company for its portion of the Imputed Underpayment at such time as the Partnership Representative shall reasonably determine. Each Member shall only bear the portion of such Imputed Underpayment that is attributable to a net increase in the amount of Company Taxable income that would have been allocated to the Member under this Agreement for the Taxable Year to which such Imputed Underpayment relates and each Member agrees to contribute cash to the Company for its portion of any payment described in this Section 7.5(f)(ii), whether or not such Member is a member of the Company at the time of any such payment by the Company, and each Member agrees and acknowledges that its obligations in this Section 7.5(f)(ii) shall survive the date when the Member no longer holds a Company Interest or the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. Amounts owed by the Member to the Company pursuant to this Section 7.5(f)(ii) and not paid to the Company within ten (10) days of the Partnership Representative’s request for such amount shall be treated as a withholding amount subject to the provisions of Section 4.2. The Partnership Representative shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a reduction pursuant to Section 6225(c) of the Code for any Imputed Underpayment that is allocable to a Member, and such Member shall be entitled to all of the economic benefit associated with any such reduction.

(iii)          Each Member shall provide the Company with any information reasonably requested by the Company and necessary for the Partnership Representative to comply with this Section 7.5(f). If any Member withdraws or disposes of its Company Interests, it shall keep the Company advised of its contact information until released in writing by the Company from its obligations under this Section 7.5(f).

(iv)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Representative shall not take any of the following actions without the consent of the Members who are not the Partnership Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed:

(A)           extend the statute of limitations for assessing or computing any Tax Liability against the Company (or the amount or character of any Company Tax item);

(B)           settle any audit with the IRS (or similar Governmental Authority) concerning the adjustment or readjustment of any Company Tax item;

(C)            initiate or settle any judicial review or action concerning the amount or character of any Company Tax item;

(D)           fail to elect out of the application of the U.S. federal income Tax partnership audit procedures under Code Sections 6221 through 6241 (and any similar procedures established by a state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Authority that assess and collects Tax at the Company level) for any year in which the Company is eligible to elect out;

(E)            make any election related to Code Sections 6221 through 6241; or

(F)            take any action in any audit with the IRS (or similar Governmental Authority) that might reasonably be expected to affect the material Tax Liability (including all Taxes imposed by U.S. federal, state, local or foreign jurisdictions) of the Company, any of its Affiliates, or any of the Members.

(g)           Costs of Tax Reporting and Tax Controversies.

(i)            All Liabilities, losses, damages, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or the Partnership Representative, including any reasonable fees and expenses of any Tax advisor retained by any such Person, relating to the preparation and provision of any Tax return or Tax report (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s preparation and maintenance of computations and records and any other actions necessary to implement the particular provisions of Exhibit E required solely for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), any Tax Proceeding, including any communications with foreign, federal, local or state Tax Authorities regarding such Tax Proceedings (collectively, “Tax-Related Costs”), shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Partnership Representative for all such Tax-Related Costs incurred in serving as the Partnership Representative for the Company.

(ii)           Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Company from engaging an accounting firm or a law firm to assist the Partnership Representative in discharging its duties hereunder.

(h)           Election to Adjust the Tax Basis of the Company’s Assets. A Member who acquires an Equity Interest in the Company in a transaction that gives rise to a basis adjustment pursuant to Code Section 743(b) shall furnish to the Company and the Partnership Representative such information reasonably requested to enable the computation of the adjustments required by Code Section 755 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(a)           Upon dissolution, the Company shall be liquidated in an orderly manner in accordance with the Delaware Act and the provisions of this Section 8.2. The Board shall act (or it may appoint any of the Members, Managers, officers, or other Persons to act) as the liquidators to wind up the affairs of the Company pursuant to this Agreement and terminate the Company. The costs of liquidation shall be borne by the Company. Prior to final Distribution and termination, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company and its assets with all of the power and authority of the Board subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators shall include the following:

(i)             the liquidators shall cause the Company to pay, satisfy and discharge all Liabilities and expenses of the Company incurred by it in connection with the liquidation;

(ii)            after payment or provision for payment of all of the Company’s Liabilities has been made in accordance with clause (i), the liquidators shall cause the Company to pay, satisfy and discharge all other Liabilities of the Company or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including establishing cash reserves to be held in escrow for contingent or unforeseen Liabilities of the Company, in such amounts and for such holding periods as the liquidators may reasonably determine), including any amounts owed to any Member;

(iii)           after payment or provision for payment of all of the Company’s Liabilities has been made in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii), (A) the liquidators shall make, or cause to be made, a final allocation of all items of income, gain, loss, and expense for U.S. Tax purposes in accordance with Exhibit E, and (B) following the determination of the final allocation set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A), the remaining assets of the Company shall be sold by the Company to any Person (including to any Member) that provides the highest bid for such asset. The Company shall distribute the value of its remaining assets to the Members in accordance with their Ownership Percentages. If the Company is unable to sell any such remaining assets within a reasonable time and following reasonable effort to do so, then the liquidators may distribute to one or more Members each such remaining asset in as equitable a manner as the liquidators may reasonably determine. Any non-cash assets distributed to the Members shall first be written up or down to their fair market value (as determined by the liquidators). Following the sale of assets of the Company in accordance with this Section 8.2(a)(iii), the liquidators shall deliver to each Member a statement (a “Liquidation Statement”) setting forth the amounts, type and recipients of the Distributions to be made to the Members pursuant to this Section 8.2(a)(iii) and a determination of the fair market value (as determined by the liquidators) of the assets, if any, that are distributed to the Members pursuant to the immediately preceding three sentences. Such Liquidation Statement shall be final and binding on all of the Members.

Article IX
TRANSFERS OF COMPANY INTERESTS; VALUATION

Section 9.1          Transfer In General. No Member shall sell, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or permit any Lien on, any Company Interest, directly or indirectly (including through a direct or indirect Change in Control of or transfer of an interest in a Member), owned by such Member or any right or interest therein, whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of Law (each, a “Transfer”) for a period of three (3) years from and after the date hereof (the “Transfer Restriction Period”), except for (i) a Permitted Transfer in accordance with Section 9.3 and (ii) Liens granted pursuant to the FX Financing Agreement. Following the Transfer Restriction Period, after compliance with the other provisions of this Article IX, a Member may Transfer any or all of its Company Interests, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Member may not Transfer any of its Company Interests to a Prohibited Person without the consent of the Board.

Section 9.2          Void Transfers. Any direct or indirect Transfer by any holder of any Company Interests to (i) a transferee other than a Permitted Transferee before the end of the Transfer Restriction Period, or (ii) a Prohibited Person shall be null, void and ineffective ab initio and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any Member. No purported transferee that obtains any Equity Interest in violation of the first sentence of this Section 9.2 shall have any rights under this Agreement (including any right to vote on any matter, nominate or appoint any Manager or officer of the Company, receive any Distributions, receive reports or other information or inspect the books or records of the Company) or in respect of the Company.

Section 9.3          Permitted Transfers of Company Interests.

(a)            Each Member may, in its discretion, Transfer all or any portion of its Company Interests in a Permitted Transfer (such Member, a “Transferring Member”). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Permitted Transfer” shall mean any Transfer from a Transferring Member to FX Parent or LMC Parent, to any Affiliate of such Transferring Member that is a Subsidiary of FX Parent or LMC Parent, or to any other Affiliate of such Transferring Member of which FX Parent or LMC Parent holds, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the economic interests and which is not a Prohibited Person (each such Person, a “Permitted Transferee”). In connection with a Permitted Transfer, all the restrictions, conditions, and obligations applicable with respect to such Company Interests under this Agreement shall continue to apply after the Permitted Transfer, and the Transferring Member shall remain fully responsible for, and hereby irrevocably guarantees, the Liabilities of its Permitted Transferee under this Agreement and, following such Permitted Transfer, remain subject to the same restrictions, conditions and obligations hereunder as those restrictions, conditions and obligations to which it was subject immediately prior to such Permitted Transfer. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a Permitted Transfer, the Transferring Member shall deliver a written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall be binding on the Transferring Member and its Permitted Transferee and shall (i) include the identity of the proposed Permitted Transferee, (ii) state the basis on which it qualifies as a Permitted Transferee, (iii) identify the Company Interests being Transferred, (iv) designate a single Person as the representative of all holders of such Transferring Member’s Company Interests after the Permitted Transfer is completed (whether held by the Transferring Member or any Permitted Transferee thereof), and (v) specifically state that all references herein to the Transferring Member or the Company Interests held by the Transferring Member shall be deemed to collectively reference the Transferring Member (so long as such Transferring Member continues to hold any Company Interests) and all Permitted Transferees of such Transferring Member’s Company Interests or their respective Company Interests in the aggregate, respectively, and the Permitted Transferee shall certify in writing to the Company its agreement to the matters set forth in the preceding clauses (i) through (v) prior to the effectiveness of such Permitted Transfer. If a Transferring Member desires to Transfer the Equity Interests of a Permitted Transferee holding a Company Interest, the Transferring Member shall cause all Company Interests held by a Permitted Transferee to be Transferred back to such Member, free and clear of all Liens, prior to such Permitted Transferee ceasing to be a Permitted Transferee of such Member. In furtherance of the preceding, the Members agree that for so long as FX and LMC are Members, FX and LMC shall act on behalf of all of their respective Permitted Transferees and the other Members shall be entitled to rely on such actions of FX and LMC as if the actions were directly taken by all of their respective applicable Permitted Transferees, including with respect to appointing Managers and matters requiring Member approval under Section 6.3 or otherwise.

(b)           The Members agree that the Transfer restrictions in this Agreement shall not be capable of being avoided by the holding of Company Interests indirectly through a Permitted Transferee and then either (i) Transferring Control (directly or indirectly and whether by operation of law or otherwise) of such Permitted Transferee to any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or (ii) permitting such Permitted Transferee to Transfer Company Interests to any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Transfers of any Equity Interests in FX Parent or LMC Parent shall constitute a Transfer of Company Interests hereunder.

Section 9.4          Covenants in Respect of Permitted Transfers. In connection with any Permitted Transfer, the Members hereby covenant and agree to take any and all actions required or reasonably requested in order to give effect to such Permitted Transfer in accordance with the terms hereof, including to cause its duly authorized Representatives to sign such instruments and documents as may be necessary to give effect to such Transfer. The Members shall not take any action or omit to take any action that could reasonably be expected to frustrate or delay any Permitted Transfer.

Section 9.6          Right of First Refusal.

(a)           Following the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Member proposes to Transfer any portion of such Member’s Company Interests (a “Selling Member”) to a Third Party Purchaser, then the Selling Member shall promptly give each other Member written notice of the Selling Member’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”). The Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Company Interests to be transferred (“Offered Units”), (ii) the name(s) and address(es) of the prospective transferee(s), (iii) the consideration, and (iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Selling Member has received a bona fide offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer unless the Selling Member is prohibited from providing a copy.

(b)           Each Member (who is not a Selling Member) shall have an option for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days from the delivery of the Transfer Notice from the Selling Member to elect to purchase its respective pro rata share of the Offered Units at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. Each such Member may exercise such purchase option and purchase all or any portion of such Member’s pro rata share of the Offered Units (a “ROFR Purchasing Member”), by notifying the Selling Member in writing, before expiration of the fifteen (15) Business Day period as to the number of such Offered Units that such Member wishes to purchase. Each such Member’s pro rata share of the Offered Units shall be a fraction of the Offered Units rounded to the nearest Unit, the numerator of which shall be the number of Units held by such Member on the date of the Transfer Notice and denominator of which shall be the total number of Units held by all Members (excluding for the purposes of such calculation the Units held by Selling Member) on the date of the Transfer Notice.

(c)           In the event any Member does not elect to purchase its full pro rata share of the Offered Units within the time period set forth therein, then the Selling Member shall promptly give written notice (the “Overallotment Notice”) to each ROFR Purchasing Member that has elected to purchase its full pro rata share of the Offered Units (each a “Fully-Participating ROFR Purchasing Member”), which notice shall set forth the number of Offered Units not purchased by the other Members, and shall offer the Fully-Participating ROFR Purchasing Members the right to acquire the unsubscribed Offered Units. Each Fully-Participating ROFR Purchasing Member shall have five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Member (of its election to purchase its pro rata share of the unsubscribed Offered Units on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice and indicating the maximum number of the unsubscribed Offered Units that it will purchase in the event that any other Fully-Participating ROFR Purchasing Member elects not to purchase its pro rata share of such Units. For purposes of this Section 9.6(c), each Fully-Participating ROFR Purchasing Member’s pro rata share shall be determined by applying a fraction, the numerator of which shall the total number of Units held by such Member on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Units held by all Fully-Participating ROFR Purchasing Members on the date of the Transfer Notice. Each Fully-Participating ROFR Purchasing Member shall be entitled to apportion the Offered Units to be purchased among its partners and Affiliates (including in the case of a private equity fund other private equity funds affiliated with such fund).

(d)           The ROFR Purchasing Members shall effect the purchase of the Offered Units with payment by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Units to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after delivery to the Members of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s). Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the ROFR Purchasing Members shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property.

Section 9.7          Tag-Along Right.

(a)           Following the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Member (the “Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of its Company Interests that is greater than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s then issued and outstanding Company Interests (the “Tag-Along Offered Company Interests”) to a Third Party Purchaser (the “Tag-Along Sale”), and ROFR Purchasing Members have not exercised their rights under Section 9.6 to purchase all of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests, the Tag-Along Seller shall deliver written notice to each other Member of such proposed Transfer (the “Tag Notice”), which Tag Notice shall make reference to each other Member’s tag-along right under this Section 9.6 and include the material terms and conditions on which the Tag-Along Seller would Transfer the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests, including the identity of the Third Party Purchaser, the purchase price to be paid for the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests in such Transfer, the terms for payment, conditions precedent for consummation of such Transfer, the expected timing for consummation of such Transfer and a copy of any agreement executed, or form of agreement proposed to be executed, in connection with such Transfer. Upon receipt of a Tag Notice, each other Member shall have the right to participate with the Tag-Along Seller in such sale to the Third Party Purchaser (a “Tag-Along Right”) and to Transfer its Ownership Percentage of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests (the “Tag-Along Company Interests”) to the Third Party Purchaser in accordance with this Section 9.6, which Tag-Along Right may be exercised only if the other Member delivers written notice thereof (the “Tag Exercise Notice”) to the Tag-Along Seller within twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery of the Tag Notice (“Tag-Along Acceptance Period”) (each such exercising other Member, a “Tagging Person”). The failure by any other Member to deliver a Tag Exercise Notice within the Tag-Along Acceptance Period shall be deemed an irrevocable waiver by such other Member of its Tag-Along Right to participate in such Transfer and the Tag-Along Seller shall be free to sell to a Third Party Purchaser the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests and any additional Company Interests owned by the Tag-Along Seller.

(b)           If the Tagging Person timely delivers a Tag Exercise Notice to the Tag-Along Seller in accordance with this Section 9.6, then:

(i)            such Tag Exercise Notice shall include wire transfer or other instructions for payment of any consideration for the Tag-Along Company Interests and shall constitute such Tagging Person’s binding agreement to Transfer to such Third Party Purchaser the Tag-Along Company Interests free and clear of any and all encumbrances and on the same terms and conditions with respect to the Transfer of Company Interests as applicable to the Tag-Along Seller (including for the same purchase price per Company Interest); provided that the Tag-Along Seller shall have no liability to any Tagging Person or any other Person if the purchase of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests from the Tag-Along Seller and the purchase of the Tag-Along Company Interests from a Tagging Person are not consummated for any reason;

(ii)            any Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests to the Third Party Purchaser shall be conditioned on the concurrent purchase by the Third Party Purchaser of the Tag-Along Company Interests from the Tagging Person on the same terms and conditions as the purchase of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests from the Tag-Along Seller and the Company shall not give effect to or record in the corporate books any Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests to the Third Party Purchaser unless the Transfer by the Tagging Person of the Tag-Along Company Interests to the Third Party Purchaser is consummated at the same time; provided that if the Tag-Along Seller is ready, willing and able to consummate its Transfer of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests and notifies the Tagging Person of its intention to consummate such Transfer, the Tagging Person shall use reasonable best efforts to consummate the Transfer of the Tag-Along Company Interests as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, further, that the Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to consummate the Transfer of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests as if the Tagging Person had failed to deliver a Tag Notice within the Tag-Along Acceptance Period if the Tagging Person does not consummate the Transfer of the Tag-Along Company Interests within five (5) days of such notice, including the right to Transfer additional Company Interests as provided in Section 9.7(a);

(iii)          The Tagging Person shall (A) make such representations, warranties and covenants, provide such indemnities and enter into such definitive agreements on the same terms as the Tag-Along Seller (taking into account each Member’s proportionate share of the Company Interests); provided that if the Tagging Person is required to provide any representations or indemnities in connection with such Transfer, liability for misrepresentation or indemnity shall (as to the Tagging Person) be expressly stated to be several but not joint and the Tagging Person shall not (other than with respect to representations and indemnities concerning the Tagging Person’s title to its Company Interests and authority, power and right to enter into and consummate the Transfer without contravention of any Law or agreement) be liable for more than its pro rata share (based on the proportion of its Tag-Along Company Interests to the aggregate Company Interests to be Transferred by all Members) of any liability for misrepresentation or indemnity or be liable for any representations or warranties made by the Tag-Along Seller or any other Tagging Person with respect to such Person’s title to its Company Interests and authority, power and right to enter into and consummate the Transfer without contravention of any Law or agreement (or any other individual seller representations); (B) contribute to and participate in any escrow or holdback arrangements, adjustments in purchase price and transaction expenses proportionally on the basis of the proportion of its Tag-Along Company Interests to the aggregate Company Interests to be Transferred by all Members and (C) not be required to enter into or agree to any non-compete or similar restrictive covenant; and

(iv)          Promptly after the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along Seller shall (A) notify the Tagging Person thereof; (B) if not remitted directly to the Tagging Person, remit to the Tagging Person the total consideration for the Company Interests of the Tagging Person Transferred pursuant thereto less the Tagging Persons’ pro rata share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any transaction expenses as determined in accordance with this Section 9.6, with the cash portion of the purchase price paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions in the applicable Tag Exercise Notices; and (C) furnish such other evidence of the completion and the date of completion of such transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Tagging Person. The Tag-Along Seller shall promptly remit to the Tagging Person, if not remitted directly to the Tagging Person, any additional consideration payable upon the release of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price.

(c)           If any other Member fails to, or declines to, exercise its Tag-Along Right, the Tag-Along Seller shall have 12 months from the expiration of the Tag-Along Acceptance Period to Transfer the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests to the Third Party Purchaser described in the Tag Notice, on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag Notice. If at the end of such period, the Tag-Along Seller has not completed such Transfer, Tag-Along Seller may not effect a Transfer of the Tag-Along Offered Company Interests without complying with the provisions of this Section 9.6.

(d)           For purposes of this Section 9.6, all references to “Tag-Along Seller,” “Tagging Person” and “other Member” shall include their respective Permitted Transferees; provided that for so long as LMC and FX are Members, LMC and FX shall each have the sole right to exercise the Tag-Along Right and deliver the Tag Exercise Notice on behalf of itself and all of its Permitted Transferees and otherwise act on their behalf under this Section 9.6. The Tag-Along Seller and each Tagging Person shall each be responsible for (and shall ensure) their respective Permitted Transferees’ compliance with this Section 9.6.

Section 9.8          Regulatory Approvals. If any Transfer of Company Interests contemplated in this Agreement is subject to prior receipt of any Governmental Authorization, the terms under this Agreement for completion of such Transfer shall be automatically extended for thirty (30) days following the end of the maximum period provided by Law for the obtaining of any such Governmental Authorization.

Any transferee that is not already a Member at the time of the Transfer and acquires a Company Interest by foreclosure shall not be admitted as a Member without the approval of the Board.

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including as set forth in the last sentence of Section 11.2) and to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Act, no present or former Manager or Member shall (i) have any duty (including fiduciary duty), or any Liability for breach of duty (including fiduciary duty) to the Company, any Member, any other Manager or any other Person (including any creditor of the Company), and no implied duties, covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against any Manager or Member in his, her or its capacity as such or (ii) be liable to the Company or to any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Person in his, her or its capacity as Manager or Member; provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such limitation of Liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to such Person’s breach of the terms of this Agreement or of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (in each case, as determined by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected)). Each Manager 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 such Manager’s good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject such Manager or the Member that appointed such Manager to Liability to the Company or the other Members.

(b)           In furtherance, and not by way of limitation, of Section 11.1(a), whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or to which the Company is a party, the Board (or any committee thereof) is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision or determination, (i) the Board (or any committee thereof) shall take such action or make such decision or determination in its sole discretion, unless another standard is expressly set forth herein or therein, or (ii) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, each Manager shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as such Manager desires (including, the interests of the Member that appointed such Manager or such Manager’s employer and their Affiliates).

(c)            Each Manager (in such Person’s capacity as a Manager) may rely, and shall incur no Liability in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, paper, document, signature or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a certificate signed by a Representative of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge, in each case unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of such reliance, action or inaction, such Manager engaged in bad faith, fraud or willful or intentional misconduct or criminal wrongdoing.

(d)           In furtherance, and not by way of limitation, of Section 11.1(a), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company and each Member hereby waives any Claim against each Manager and each Member and their respective Representatives and Affiliates for any breach of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) to the Company or its Members or any of its Subsidiaries by any such Person, including any Claim as may result from any conflict of interest, including any conflict of interest between such Person and the Company or its Members or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; provided that with respect to actions or omissions by a Manager, such waiver shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to such Manager’s breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, in each case as determined by a final nonappealable Order; provided that the exercise by a Member of any of its rights as a Member (including under this Agreement) shall not be deemed to constitute a lack of good faith, a breach of fiduciary duties or unfair dealing.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or legal requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal Liability on any Member or Manager for the Liabilities of the Company.

Section 11.2        Investment Opportunities and Conflicts of Interest. In furtherance, and not by way of limitation, of Section 11.1(a), each Member expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) (x) such Member and its Affiliates and (y) its and their respective Representatives (collectively, the Persons described in clauses (x) and (y) and, with respect to those Persons described in clause (y) in their respective capacities as such, the “Specified Persons”) are permitted (i) to have and develop, and may presently or in the future have and develop, investments, transactions, business ventures, contractual, strategic or other business relationships, prospective economic advantages or other opportunities (the “Business Opportunities”) in businesses that are and may be competitive or complementary with the In-Scope Business, for their own account or for the account of any Person other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the other Member, and (ii) to direct any such Business Opportunities to any other Person, in each case, regardless of whether such Business Opportunities are presented to a Specified Person in his, her or its capacity as a Member, Manager or manager on the board of directors or managers of any Subsidiary of the Company or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, (b) none of the Specified Persons shall be prohibited by virtue of their investments in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or his or her service as a Manager or service on the board of directors or managers of any Subsidiary of the Company or as an officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise from pursuing and engaging in any such activities, (c) none of the Specified Persons shall be obligated to inform or present the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Board (or any committee established by the Board) or the board of directors or managers of any of the Subsidiaries or the other Member of or with any such Business Opportunity, (d) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or the other Members shall have or acquire or be entitled to any interest or expectancy or participation (such right to any interest, expectancy or participation, if any, being hereby renounced and waived) in any Business Opportunity as a result of the involvement therein of any of the Specified Persons, and (e) the involvement of any of the Specified Persons in any Business Opportunity shall not constitute a conflict of interest, breach of fiduciary duty, or breach of this Agreement by such Persons with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the other Members. This Section 11.2 shall not in any way affect, limit or modify any Liabilities, duties (including fiduciary duties) or responsibilities of any Person in its role as an officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or under any employment agreement, consulting agreement, confidentiality agreement, noncompete agreement, nonsolicit agreement or any similar agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Article XII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 12.1      Right to Indemnification. Except as otherwise required by Law or by this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Person (each, a “Covered Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Act, 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 any losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including amounts paid for attorneys’ fees, judgments, settlements, fines, excise taxes, or penalties in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person (i) is or was serving as a Manager of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, while serving as a Manager of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and any Person that is or was serving at the request of the Company or its Subsidiaries as a representative, officer, director, principal, member, employee, or agent of another partnership, corporation, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise), or (ii) is or was a Member, but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; provided, however, no such Person shall be indemnified for any such Damages suffered that are attributable to such Person’s (x) fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, (y) breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between such Covered Person or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand or (z) violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Company shall pay the expenses incurred by any such Covered Person indemnifiable hereunder, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with any proceeding in advance of the final disposition, so long as the Company receives an undertaking by such Covered Person to repay the full amount advanced if there is a final determination that such Covered Person failed the applicable standards set forth above or that such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein for other reasons.

Section 12.2      Non-Exclusive Right. The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in Section 12.1 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, by Law, vote of the Board, or otherwise.

Section 12.3      Insurance. The Company shall maintain insurance, at its or any of its Subsidiaries’ expense, to protect any Covered Person against any loss, liability, damage, or expense described in Section 12.1, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Covered Person against such loss, liability, damage, or expense under the provisions of Section 12.1.

Section 12.4      No Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in Section 12.1 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and none of the Members (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company.

Section 12.5      Severability. If Section 12.1 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 Covered Person pursuant to Section 12.1 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of Section 12.1 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

Article XIII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.1      Further Assurances. The Members shall execute and deliver all documents, instruments, and certificates (including any additional notarized and legalized powers of attorney or other authorizations that may be necessary or appropriate), and take or refrain from taking all such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the provisions hereof, in each case as may be reasonably determined in good faith from time to time by the Board.

Section 13.2      Title to Company Assets. The Company’s 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 any Company asset or any portion thereof, except by virtue of its ownership of Company Interests upon liquidation of the Company in accordance with this Agreement or except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

Section 13.3      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 (unless such creditor is a Member, in its capacity as such, or FX Parent in its capacity as indirect equityholder and beneficiary of the indemnity under Article XII hereof), and no creditor who makes a loan to the Company or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in Distributions, capital or property other than as a creditor.

Section 13.4      Amendment.

(a)            Each Member agrees that the Board may, in accordance with and subject to the limitations contained in Articles V and VI, amend this Agreement to reflect:

(i)            a change in the name of the Company; and

(ii)            admission or substitution of Members whose admission or substitution has already received the requisite approval in accordance with this Agreement.

The Board is further authorized to update the Schedule of Members and effectuate such technical and other amendments, supplements and modifications to this Agreement as may be required to, inter alia, implement the admission of new or substituted Members and/or effect the issuance of additional Equity Interests in the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 or other similar matters so long as the applicable underlying change or action giving rise to the amendment was consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and received the requisite approvals.

(b)            Except as provided in Section 13.4(a), no amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or the Certificate of Formation shall be effective unless previously approved by the Board. If Section 5.3(a)(iv)(J) is not applicable and a proposed amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or the Certificate of Formation could reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on any right of LMC as compared to FX, then such amendment by shall require the consent of LMC in addition to the Board. Any purported amendment, supplement or modification that fails to comply with the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 13.5      Assignment. Except as permitted herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by the Company or any of the Members (whether by merger, operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Company and any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 13.5 shall be void.

Section 13.6      No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Article XII with respect to the Persons entitled to be indemnified as described therein (who shall be express Third Party beneficiaries with respect to Article XII), this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Company and the Members and their successors and permitted assigns, and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any other Person, including any equityholders of any Member, any remedy, Claim, Liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right.

Section 13.7      Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or relating hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed entirely with the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any Laws or principles of conflicts of laws that would cause the Laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

Section 13.8      Dispute Resolution.

(a)            General Provisions. The Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to settle amicably any and all disputes, controversies or Claims (whether sounding in contract, tort, common law, statutory law, equity or otherwise), other than a Board Deadlock, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence or scope, the meaning of its provisions, or the proper performance of any of its terms by either Member, or its breach, termination or invalidity (each such dispute, controversy or Claim, a “Dispute”). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this ‎Section 13.8. For the avoidance of doubt, a Board Deadlock shall not be deemed to be a Dispute governed by this Section 13.8, and shall, instead, be governed by Section 5.3(a)(v).

(b)            Resolution by Senior Executives. If a Dispute cannot be resolved at an operational level, the disputing party may give written notice to the other party or parties, requesting that senior management or senior representatives of each applicable party attempt to resolve the Dispute and setting forth such party’s position and a summary of reasons supporting that position. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the request, the other party shall provide a written response. The notice and the response shall designate such party’s senior executive and provide a statement of the party’s position and a summary of reasons supporting that position. The designated senior executives or representatives shall meet in person at a mutually acceptable place, or by telephone, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the response to seek a resolution. If no resolution is reached by the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice of Dispute, any disputing party may submit the Dispute to resolution as further provided herein.

(c)            Mediation. If the applicable parties’ senior executives or representatives are unable to resolve the Dispute in the time period provided above, the disputing parties may submit the Dispute for resolution to non-binding mediation by providing written notice to each other party. The mediation shall take place in New York, New York. Within twenty (20) calendar days of receiving the written notice of a request for mediation, the applicable parties shall mutually select a mediator. The mediation shall take place within 45 calendar days after the initial request for mediation. Within ten (10) Business Days of the conclusion of mediation, the mediator shall provide an evaluation of the Dispute and the parties’ hereto relative positions.

(d)            Arbitration.

(i)            If the parties hereto are unable to reach a resolution pursuant to Section 13.8(c), any disputing party may submit the Dispute for resolution by binding arbitration under the administration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in accordance with its Rules for Arbitration (the “ICC Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, subject to such modifications set forth in this Agreement.

(ii)            In any Dispute in which the aggregate value of the Claims and any counterclaims is less than $5,000,000.00, the arbitral tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator whom the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC shall appoint pursuant to its applicable rules pertaining to the selection of a single arbitrator. In any Dispute in which the aggregate value of the Claims and any counterclaims is $5,000,000.00 or more, the arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators. In the case of a tribunal of three arbitrators: (A) each party shall designate one arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days after the request for arbitration is filed; (B) if there are more than two disputing parties, FX shall designate one (1) arbitrator and LMC shall designate one (1) arbitrator; (C) the first two arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days after the last of the first two arbitrators has been nominated, and shall not be affiliated with any disputing party; and (D) in the event that the initial two arbitrators fail to agree to a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be chosen by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language, and all documents not in English submitted by any party shall be accompanied by an English translation. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, which shall be the seat of the arbitration. Each party shall be permitted to present its case, witnesses and evidence, if any, in the presence of the other party. Either party can request a written transcript of the proceedings at that party’s cost. The arbitral tribunal shall determine the Dispute consistent with the substantive law described in ‎Section 13.7, and shall apply this Agreement according to its terms.

(iii)            The parties agree that any Disputes resolved pursuant to this ‎Section 13.8 are commercial in nature. The parties agree to be bound by any award or order resulting from arbitration conducted hereunder notwithstanding any country’s laws or treaties with the United States to the contrary. The parties agree that in the context of an attempt by any disputing party to enforce an arbitral award or order, any defenses relating to any other parties’ capacity or the validity of this Agreement or any related agreement under any Law are waived. Any judgment on an award or order resulting from an arbitration conducted under this Section 13.8 may be entered and enforced in any court, in any country, having jurisdiction over any of the disputing parties or their assets. For the purposes of enforcement of an award or order as described in the preceding sentence, the Parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of New York and Delaware.

(iv)            Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of financial and legal advisors and other outside consultants, in connection with any arbitration conducted under this ‎Section 13.8.

(e)            Admissibility into Evidence. All offers of compromise or settlement among the parties hereto or their Representatives in connection with the attempted resolution of any Dispute (i) shall be deemed to have been delivered in furtherance of a Dispute settlement, (ii) shall be exempt from discovery and production and (iii) shall not be admissible into evidence (whether as an admission or otherwise) in any proceeding for the resolution of the Dispute.

(f)            Proceedings Confidential. Except to the extent necessary to enforce any arbitral award, to enforce other rights of the parties, or as required by applicable Law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, each party shall ensure that it and its Representatives and expert witnesses, shall maintain as confidential the existence of the arbitration proceedings, the arbitral award, all filings and submissions exchanged or produced during the arbitration proceedings and briefs, memorials, witness statements or other documents prepared in connection with such arbitration; provided, however, that a party may disclose such information to its Representatives and expert witnesses; it being understood that such Representatives will be informed of the confidential nature of the existence of any such arbitration proceedings, arbitral award, filings and submissions, briefs, memorials, witness statements and other documents and will be directed to treat the foregoing as confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each party will be responsible for the compliance by its Representatives and expert witnesses with this ‎Section 13.8(f). This Section 13.8 shall survive the termination of the arbitral proceedings.

(g)            Privilege. Legal professional privilege, including privileges protecting attorney-client communications and attorney work product of each party from disclosure or use in evidence, as recognized by applicable Laws governing each party’s relationship with its counsel, including in-house counsel, shall apply to and be binding in any arbitration proceeding under this ‎Section 13.8(g).

(h)            Provisional Remedies. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of a party hereto to seek, and each such party shall have the right to seek, interim, injunctive or other temporary equitable relief, in support of and before any final arbitral award is delivered in any court having jurisdiction. In any such action, each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents and agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the County of New Castle in the State of Delaware; (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any such court; (iii)  consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.11, or in any other manner permitted by applicable law; and (iv) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal, or the emergency arbitrator (as provided in the ICC Rules), shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and the arbitral tribunal shall have the power to award damages for the failure of any party to respect its or the emergency arbitrator’s orders to that effect.

Section 13.9      Severability; Equitable Relief. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall not be affected. Upon any such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and the Members shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Members, as expressed in the terms hereof, as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. The parties hereto recognize, acknowledge and agree that the breach or violation of this Agreement by a party hereto would cause irreparable damage to the other parties hereto and that none of the parties hereto has an adequate remedy at Law. Subject to the following sentence, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain injunctive relief, specific performance of the terms of this Agreement or other equitable relief, to redress breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without proof of damages or otherwise and the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. A party hereto seeking an Order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such Order or injunction, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. If any Legal Proceeding is brought by any party hereto to enforce this Agreement, the other parties hereto shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law.

Section 13.10      Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in two or more separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement, consent or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a photographic, portable document format (.pdf), facsimile or similar reproduction of such signed writing using a facsimile machine or electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of either Member with respect to this Agreement or any such agreement, consent or instrument, the other Member with respect to this Agreement or any such agreement, consent or instrument shall re-execute originals thereof and deliver them to the Member that made such request.

The provisions of this Section 13.13 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement and each Member shall continue to be bound by its terms after such Member ceases to be a Member, in each case for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of such expiration or termination of this Agreement or such Person ceasing to be a Member, as applicable.
