(a)         

Except as otherwise provided in this Article V or Article VII, no Member will be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the LLC without the consent of that Member or permitted to make additional Capital Contributions to the LLC without the consent of the Managing Member.

 

(b)        

Subject to the obligations of the LLC under Article VII, the Managing Member may, at any time and from time to time, determine in its sole and absolute discretion that the LLC requires additional funds for the purposes relating to the LLC’s business (“Additional Funds”). Additional Funds may be obtained by the LLC, at the

 

 
5

 

direction of the Managing Member, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement without die approval of any other Members.

 

(c)       

Subject to the obligations of the LLC under Article VII, the Managing Member, on behalf of the LLC, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the LLC to incur indebtedness to any Person, in each case on the terms as the Managing Member determines are appropriate, including making the indebtedness convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Units or Common Stock, except that the LLC will not incur that indebtedness if

5.4        

Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits, Losses and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction will be allocated in a manner that results in the Partially Adjusted Capital Account Balance of each Member, immediately after making the allocation, being, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the distributions that would be made to the Member under Article IX if the LLC were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets were sold for cash equal to their Carrying Va lues, all LLC liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing the liability), including the LLC’s share of any liabilities of an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes of which the LLC is a member, and the net assets of the LLC were distributed in accordance with Article IX to the Members immediately after making the allocation.

 

5.5        

Special Allocations. The following special allocations will be made in the following order:

 

(a)        

Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in LLC Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member will, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), be specially allocated items of LLC income and gain for the Taxable Year (and, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(iii), subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in LLC Minimum Gain. Allocations under the previous sentence will be made in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This Section 5.5(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and will be interpreted consistently with that intent.

 

(b)        

Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member who has a share of that Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain as of the beginning of the Taxable Year will, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), be specially allocated items of LLC income and gain for the Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Allocations under the previous sentence will be made in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.5(b) is intended to comply with the requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be interpreted consistently with that intent.

 

(c)         

Limitations on Loss Allocations. With respect to any Member, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4, the amount of Loss for any Taxable Year or other period that would otherwise be allocated to a Member under Section 5.4 will not cause or increase a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance. Any Loss in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.5(c) will be allocated among the Members, pro rata, to the extent each, respectively, has a positive Adjusted Capital Account Balance.

 

(d)        

Qualified Income Offset. If any Member receives an unexpected adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4-6) in any Taxable Year or other period which would cause the Member to have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance as of the end of the Taxable Year or

 

 
7

 

other period, items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) will be specifically allocated to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the deficit in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance as quickly as possible. This Section 5.5(d) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset provision in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

(e)         

Gross Income Allocation. If any Member would otherwise have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance as of the last day of any Taxable Year or other period, individual items of income and gain of the Company will be specifically allocated to the Member (in the manner specified in Section 5.5(d)) so as to eliminate the deficit as quickly as possible.

 

(f)         

Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year or other period will be specially allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

 

(g)        

Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year or other period will be specially allocated w the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the “partner nonrecourse debt” (as that term is defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which the Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

 

5.6        

Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.5(a) - (g) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations that are made be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations under this Section 5.6. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Member will make offsetting special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after the offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance the Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all LLC items were allocated under Section 5.4. In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.6, the Managing Member will take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.5(h) that, although not yet. made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 5.5(f) and 5.5(g).

 

5.7        

Other Allocation Rules.

 

(a)        

(i) Subject to Section 5.7(a)(ii), for purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and other items will be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder; provided that in the case of a Transfer of Units or other equity interests in the LLC, the Managing Member shall, upon request of the Transferor or Transferee, promptly notify the Transferor and Transferee of the method that it will use to allocate Tax items for the

 

 
8

 

Taxable Year of the Transfer between the Transferor and Transferee, and unless the next sentence applies shall use such method to effect such allocation. If the Transferor and Transferee desire to use a method that differs from such method, and the desired method is permitted by the Code as determined by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion, the Managing Member shall use such other method, but only if (i) the Transferor and Transferee submit a written request to the Managing Member indicating the method they desire to use within ten days after the applicable Transfer, (ii) the Transferor and Transferee agree in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member to reimburse the LLC for the reasonable incremental costs, if any, incurred in applying such method and (iii) such other method does not adversely affect the other Members any more than the method initially selected by the Managing Member.

 

(ii)          

For purposes of determining Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to Class B Common Units exchanged pursuant to Section 7.9 (including pursuant to a Holding Company Exchange), the Managing Member shall, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.706-1(c)(2), allocate such items using an interim closing of the LLC’s books as of the date of such exchange.

 

(b)        

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of LLC income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for will be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the Taxable Year.

 

(c)        

For purposes of determining the Members’ shares of “nonrecourse liabilities” (as that term is defined in Regulations Section I.752-1(a)(2)), any “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as that term is defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) will be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

 

(d)        

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Clearwire Pre-Closing Indebtedness and the Sprint Pre-Closing Financing are treated as having been assumed by the LLC pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. The LLC’s assumption of liabilities of Clearwire and Sprint in connection with their initial Capital Contributions described in Section 5.1 will be treated by the LLC as the assumption of “qualified liabilities” under Regulations Section 1.707-5(a)(6)(i)(D) except as otherwise required by Law in respect of any indebtedness issued by Clearwire prior to the Closing (as defined in Exhibit A to the Transaction Agreement) in accordance with Sections 10.1(b)(iv)(F) or 10.1(b)(iv)(H) of the Transaction Agreement.

 

5.8         

Code Section 704(c): Tax Allocations.

 

(a)        

In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the LLC will, solely for Tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the LLC for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its initial Carrying Value (i) using the “remedial method” under Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) with respect to (x) the Former Clearwire Assets and (y) Former Sprint Assets having Built-In Gains equal to 50% of the total Built-In Gains in

 

 
9

 

the Former Sprint Assets (the assets described clause (y), “Sprint Remedial Assets”) and (ii) using the “traditional method” under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) with respect to Former Sprint Assets having Built-In Gains equal to 50% of the total Built-In Gains in the Former Sprint Assets (the “Sprint Traditional Assets”). The Sprint Remedial Assets and Sprint Traditional Assets shall be designated in a manner such that the annual Tax deductions with respect to the Sprint Remedial Assets are, to the greatest extent possible, equal to the annual Tax deductions that would have been allocated with respect to the Sprint Traditional Assets had the LLC elected the remedial method with respect to the Sprint Traditional Assets. The Managing Member shall, as promptly as possible after the date hereof, designate the Former Sprint Assets as Sprint Remedial Assets and Sprint Traditional Assets, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.8(n).

 

(b)        

If the Carrying Value of any LLC asset is adjusted under clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii), or (b)(iii) of the definition of Carrying Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset will take account of any variation between the Carrying Value thereof immediately before such adjustment and the Carrying Value thereof immediately after such adjustment (such difference, a “Reverse 704(c) Laver”) in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) and Regulations Section I .704-3(a)(6) using the “traditional method” under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). For this purpose and except to the extent required by the Regulations, none of the adjusted basis of an asset shall be allocated to a Reverse 704(c) Layer.

 

(c)        

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.8, any elections or other decisions relating to allocations will be made by the Managing Member acting reasonably and in good faith. Allocations under this Section 5.8 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state, and local Taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions under any provision of this Agreement,

 

(d)        

In accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(7), upon the Transfer of any Units originally issued to Sprint, the Transferee shall be allocated a share of the built-in gain or loss as of the time of the Transfer, as well as a share of the built-in gain or loss subject to the remedial method under Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) and a share of the built-in gain or loss subject to the traditional method under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) (in each case prior to any adjustment under Code Section 743(b) that may apply as a result of such Transfer), that would otherwise be allocable to the Transferor that is in the same proportion to the total amounts of such built-in gain or loss otherwise allocable to the Transferor as the number of Units so Transferred is to the total number of Units held by the Transferor immediately prior to the Transfer.

 

(e)         

Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the LLC for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the corresponding items were allocated among the Members pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6.

 

 
10

 

5.9        

Tax Withholding.

 

(a)         

The LLC will withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable Taxing authority all Taxes or withholdings, and all interest, penalties, additions to Tax, and similar liabilities in connection therewith or attributable thereto (“Withheld Taxes”) to the extent that the Tax Matters Member in good faith determines that withholding or payment is required by the Code or any other Law. The Tax Matters Member in good faith will determine to which Member the Withheld Taxes are attributable. For example, Withheld Taxes measured with respect to a Member’s distributive share of the LLC’s income, gain, or other LLC item would be attributable to that Member. All Withheld Taxes will be withheld against the amounts otherwise distributable to the Member to which the Withheld Taxes are attributable, and any amounts so withheld will be treated as a distribution to that Member. If any Withheld Taxes attributable to a Member exceed the amount otherwise distributable to the Member, the excess will be considered a loan (a “Withholding Loan”) by the LLC to the Member.

 

(b)         

The borrowing Member shall have the right to prepay, in whole or in part, a Withholding Loan at any time and shall be required to repay any such Withholding Loan within ten days after the Tax Matters Member delivers a written demand therefor, together with interest from the date the loan was made until the date of the repayment at a rate per annum equal to the LLC’s cost of debt capital, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member. Absent prior demand, the maturity of the Withholding Loan will be the date of dissolution of the LLC. If a Withholding Loan is not paid when due, distributions from the LLC to the borrowing Member may be withheld and applied toward repayment of the accrued and unpaid interest and principal on such Withholding Loan, with any amounts so withheld being treated as having been distributed to the borrowing Member for purposes of this Agreement.

 

5.10      

Successors in Interest. If a Member Transfers all or part of its Units in accordance with this Agreement, references in this Article V to amounts previously contributed by the Member or to amounts previously allocated or distributed to the Member will refer to the Transferee to the extent they pertain to the Transferred interest.

 

5.11       

Other Tax Matters.

 

(a)         

The Managing Member will be the initial “tax matters partner” of the LLC within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the “Tax Matters Member”). The Tax Matters Member will take reasonable action to cause each other Member to be treated as a “notice partner” within the meaning of Code Section 6231(aX8). All reasonable expenses incurred by a Member while acting in its capacity as Tax Matters Member will be paid or reimbursed by the LLC and the exculpation and indemnification provisions of Article X will apply to the Managing Member acting in its capacity as the Tax Matters Member.

 

(b)        

Each Member shall have the right to designate a tax representative, which person will be given at least five Business Days advance notice from the Tax Matters Member of the time and place of, and will have the right to participate in (and the LLC

 

 
11

 

and the Tax Matters Member will take any actions as may be necessary to cause the tax matters partner of any Partnership Subsidiary to extend to each Member the right to participate in):

 

(i)           

any material aspect of any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the determination of partnership items at the LLC level (or at the level of any Partnership Subsidiary); and

 

(ii)          

any material discussions with the Internal Revenue Service or other Taxing authority relating to allocations under Article V (or under the operating agreement of any Partnership Subsidiary).

 

The Tax Matters Member will not, and the LLC will not permit the tax matters partner of any Partnership Subsidiary to, initiate any action or proceeding in any court, extend any statute of limitations, settle any material income or franchise Tax dispute, or lake any other action contemplated by Code Sections 6222 through 6234 that would legally bind any other Member, the LLC or any Partnership Subsidiary without approval of the affected Member(s), which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that for this purpose, it will not be unreasonable for a Member to withhold the approval if the action proposed to be taken could materially and adversely affect such Member. A Member may designate a replacement tax representative by providing written notice of such change to the Managing Member.

 

(c)        

The Tax Matters Member will timely cause to be prepared all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign Tax returns and reports (including amended returns) of the LLC or any Partnership Subsidiary for each year or period that the returns or reports are required to be filed and, subject to the remainder of this subsection, will cause the Tax returns to be timely filed. Before filing of such Tax returns, the Tax Matters Member will provide copies of all such Tax returns to the tax representative of each Member for review. The Members shall be entitled to provide comments on such Tax returns to the Tax Matters Member after receiving copies of the Tax returns, and the Tax Matters Member will incorporate the comments, where reasonable, before filing the returns. The other Members will take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Member in connection with the preparation of the income and franchise Tax returns of the LLC and any Partnership Subsidiary so as to ensure that all the returns arc filed on a timely basis and no filing penalties arc incurred to the extent reasonably possible.

 

(d)        

Within 90 days after the end of each Taxable Year, or as soon as reasonably practical thereafter, the Tax Matters Member will prepare and send, or cause to be prepared and sent, to each Person who was a Member at any time during the Taxable Year, copies of the information required for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income Tax reporting purposes, including copies of Form 1065 and Schedule K-1 or any successor form or schedule, for that Person. At any time after the information has been provided, on at least five Business Days’ notice from a Member, the Tax Matters Member will also provide each Member with a reasonable opportunity during ordinary business hours to review and make copies of all work papers related to the information or to any return prepared under subsection (c) above. At the request of any Member, as soon as

 

 
12

 

practicable following the end of each period for which corporate estimated Tax deposits are required to be made (and in any event not later than ten days after the end of such period), the Tax Matters Member will also cause to be provided to each Member an estimate of each Member’s share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the LLC for the estimated Tax period just completed and for the Taxable Year to date for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Managing Member will provide to the Members any material true-ups, corrections or changes to any information previously provided under this Section 5.11(d) as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware that a material true-up, correction or change is appropriate.

 

(e)         

With respect to any Tax information provided by the Tax Matters Member to a Member under Sections 5.11(b) — (d), the same information will be provided to the other Members, as applicable, at the same time, unless a Member requests that it not be provided that information.

 

5.12      

Tax Classification. The parties will treat the LLC as a partnership for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income tax purposes, and no Member will take any action inconsistent with such treatment for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes unless (i) the Company causes the LLC to be treated other than as a partnership or (ii) there has occurred a change in law or final determination to the contrary. The Managing Member will take any reasonable action within its power required under the Code and applicable Regulations to cause the LLC to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent the previous sentence does not govern the state and local classification of the LLC, the Managing Member will take any reasonable action within its power as may be required under any state or local Law applicable to the LLC to cause the LLC to be treated as, and in a manner consistent with, a partnership for state or local income tax purposes. The parties will treat Clearwire Sub LLC, Sprint LLC and each of the Transfer Entities as entities disregarded as separate from the LLC in accordance with Regulations Section 301.7701-2(c)(2).

 

5.13      

Tar Elections. Except as otherwise provided this Agreement, all elections required or permitted to be made by the LLC under the Code (or Law) will be made as determined by the Managing Member, acting reasonably and in good faith, to be in the best interest of the Members as a group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the LLC shall make and maintain in effect a valid election under Code Section 754 and (ii) if the LLC does not otherwise qualify as a partnership under Code Section 6231(a)(1) which is subject to the Th,FRA partnership audit rules, the Tax Matters Member will cause the LLC to make an election under Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) to subject the LLC to the TEFRA partnership audit rules.

7.1        

Units. Interests in the LLC are represented by one or more classes of Units. The Units initially will be divided into Voting Units and Non-Voting Units, and the Non-Voting Units will be designated as Class A Common Units or Class B Common Units. The Register contains the name, Class and number of Units owned by each Member as of the Effective Date. The Register will be revised from time to time by the Managing Member to reflect the admission or withdrawal of a Member or the issuance, Transfer, assignment, redemption, repurchase, acquisition, conversion, relinquishment to the Company or other cancellation or termination of Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other modifications to or changes in the information set forth on the Register.

Any time a share of Class B Common Stock is exchanged as set forth in Section 7,9 for a share of Class A Common Stock, then one Class B Common Unit will be cancelled without any further consideration other than that specified in Section 7.9, and one Class A Common Unit and one Voting Unit will be issued to the Company.

 

(b)         

Any time any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities are redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by the Company, the Managing Member will cause the same number of Class A Common Units and the same number of Voting Units (or the same number of comparable securities of the LLC, as applicable) in the name of the Company to be redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by the LLC for the same consideration, if any, as the consideration paid by the Company so that the number of Class A Common Units held by the Company at all times equals the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. If the Company redeems shares of Class B Common Stock for cash, the Managing Member will simultaneously cause the same number of Voting Units in the name of the Company to be redeemed for the same cash consideration.

 

(c)         

For the avoidance of doubt, a Member may Transfer a share of Class B Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without Transferring a corresponding Unit.

 

7.5        

Incentive Plans. At any time the Company issues a share of Class A Common Stock under an Incentive Plan (whether by the exercise of a stock option or the grant of a restricted share award or otherwise), the following will occur:

 

(a)         

the net proceeds (including without limitation the amount of the exercise price paid by the owner or the promissory note representing any loan made by the Company to the owner with respect to a stock purchase award, which promissory note will be deemed to have a fair market value equal to the original principal balance of that promissory note) received by the Company with respect to the share of Class A Common Stock, if any, will be paid or transferred by the Company to the LLC, which amounts will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having been paid to the LLC by the person to whom the share of Class A Common Stock is to be issued;

 

(b)         

the Company will be deemed to make an additional Capital Contribution to the LLC of an amount of cash equal to

 

(i)          

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

 

(ii)          

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

 

(c)         

the LLC will be deemed to purchase from the Company a share of Class A Common Stock for an amount of cash equal to the sum of

 

 
15

 

(i)           

the additional deemed Capital Contribution made by the Company to the LLC in subsection (b) above and

 

(ii)           

the amount paid to the LLC as described under subsection (a) above,

 

and to deliver such share of Class A Common Stack to its owner under the Incentive Plan (the parties acknowledging that the deemed purchase will not cause the LLC to own the shares for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive dividends or vote);

 

(d)        

in exchange for the payment by the Company to the LLC described in subsection (a) above and the deemed Capital Contribution by the Company to the LLC described in subsection (b) above (which aggregate amount will be credited to the Capital Account of the Company), the LLC will issue to the Company one Class A Common Unit and one Voting Unit registered in the name of the Company for each share of Class A Common Stock issued by the Company under the Incentive Plan;

 

(e)        

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

 

(f)         

if the owner of any share of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to an Incentive Plan has timely made an election under Code Section 83(b) with respect to that share of Class A Common Stock and the share of Class A Common Stock is subsequently forfeited, then each of the actual and deemed steps described in subsections (a) through (e) above with respect to that share of Class A Common Stock will be reversed including, without limitation, the reversion of that share of Class A Common Stock to the Company, the cancellation of the Class A Common Unit and Voting Unit issued to the Company and the reversal, if and to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.83-6(c) or other applicable Tax law, of any compensation deductions previously allocated to the Members; and

 

(g)        

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

 

 
16

 

7.6        

Exercisable Rights. Except as provided in Section 7.5 and Section 7.9, any time the Company issues any shares of capital stock on the exercise of any rights, options, warrants or any convertible or exchangeable securities having the right to convert into, exchange for, subscribe for or purchase any shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company (“Exercisable Rights”):

 

(a)        

the net proceeds (including without limitation the amount of the exercise price paid by the owner) received by the Company with respect to the share of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company, if any, will be concurrently transferred and paid by the Company to the LLC as an additional Capital Contribution; and

 

(b)         

on the date an Exercisable Right is exercised, the LLC will issue Units as follows:

 

(i)          

in the case of an issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock on the exercise of Exercisable Rights, the LLC will issue to the Company an equal number of Class A Common Units and an equal number of Voting Units registered in the name of the Company; and

 

(ii)          

in the case of an issuance by the Company of any other capital stock on the exercise of Exercisable Rights, then the LLC will issue an equal number of Units of a class or series of Units as the corresponding class or series of Equity Securities issued by the Company with respect to the exercise of the Exercisable Rights.

 

The Members agree to treat the issuance of Units pursuant to this Section 7.6 as having been issued upon the exercise of rights issued under Section 7.7(a) and in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(ix) (and any successor provisions thereto).

 

7.7         

Issuances of Equity Securities.

 

(a)         

Except as provided in Sections 7.5 or 7.6 and (b) below, any time the Company issues any Equity Securities (other than compensatory options issued pursuant to an Incentive Plan), the following will occur:

 

(i)          

the Company will contribute to the capital of the LLC an amount of cash equal to the issue price of the Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities (or, in the case of the issuance of Equity Securities in exchange for property, then the property received in exchange for the issuance of those Equity Securities) and the Capital Account of the Company will be increased by the amount of cash and the fair market value of the property contributed;

 

(ii)         

the LLC will issue Units or other securities as follows:

 

(A)          

in the case of an issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock, the LLC will issue an equal number of Class A

 

 
17

 

Common Units to the Company and an equal number of Voting Units registered in the name of the Company; and

 

(B)          

in the case of an issuance of any securities not covered under clause (A), the LLC will issue an equal number of Units or other securities (including Voting Units, if applicable) with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions (other than financial covenants applicable to the Company, its Subsidiaries or direct or indirect parent entities) that arc substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions of the other Equity Securities, registered in the name of the Company.

 

(b)         

The intent of this Section 7.7 and Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 is to ensure that

 

(i)          

the number of Voting Units held by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries will at all times equal the sum of

 

(A)          

the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, and

 

(B)          

the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, and

 

(C)          

without duplication, the number of Voting Securities outstanding, and

 

(ii)          

the number of Class A Common Units held by the Company will at all times equal the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding; and

 

(iii)         

the number of Class B Common Units outstanding will at all times equal the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

 

7.8        

Registered Members. The LLC will be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on its records as the owner of Units for all purposes and will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it will have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the Act.

 

7.9        

Exchange of Units.

 

(a)         

Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 7.9, each holder of a Unit (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) will be entitled to exchange, from time to time, any or all of the holder’s Units, as follows:

 

(i)          

in the case of Class B Common Units, one Class B Common Unit (together with one share of Class B Common Stock) will be exchangeable by the

 

 
18

 

holder of the Class B Common Unit for one share of Class A Common Stock (the “Common Unit Exchange Rate”), as provided in Section 5.1 of the Charter, and

 

(ii)          

in the case of Units other than Class B Common Units, the Units will be exchangeable for the Equity Securities or Units as are provided in the terms of the exchangeable Units, including the designated exchange rate (the “Unit Exchange Rate” and, together with the Common Unit Exchange Rate, the “Exchange Rate”).

 

(b)         

Any exchange right under Section 7.9(a) will be exercised by a written notice to the Company and the LLC from the holder of the Units (the “Exchange Notice”)

 

(i)          

stating that the holder desires to exchange a stated number of Units and capital stock of the Company under Section 5.1 of the Charter and Section 7.9(a), and

 

(ii)          

specifying a date that is not less than seven Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days after delivery of the Exchange Notice on which the exchange is to be completed (the “Exchange Date”),

 

The Exchange Notice must be accompanied by instruments of transfer to the Company, in form satisfactory to the Company and to the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), duly executed by the holder or the holder’s duly authorized attorney, and transfer Tax stamps or funds therefor, if required under Section 7.9(f), in respect of the Units to be exchanged, in each case delivered during normal business hours at the offices of the Company or at the office of the Transfer Agent. Once an Exchange Notice has been validly delivered to the Company and the LLC, such Exchange Notice shall be binding on the applicable holder of Units delivering such Exchange Notice, and may not be rescinded or withdrawn or otherwise amended by such holder of Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of a Unit will be entitled to exchange the Unit if the exchange would be prohibited under Law.

 

(c)         

On the Exchange Date, following the surrender for exchange of Units in the manner provided in this Section 7.9 and the payment in cash to the Company of any amount required by Section 7.9(f), the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered, as the case may be, at the offices of the Company or at the office of the Transfer Agent, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities issuable on the exchange, issued in the name or names as the holder may direct. On the Exchange Date, all rights of the holder of the exchanged Units as a Member of the LLC with respect to the Units will cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names the shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities are to be issued will be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities.

 

(d)         

The Exchange Rate will be adjusted accordingly if there is:

 

 
19

 

(i)           

any Recapitalization Event with respect to any class or series of Units that is not accompanied by an identical Recapitalization Event with respect to the corresponding class or series of Equity Securities; or

 

(ii)          

any Recapitalization Event with respect to any class or series of Equity Securities that is not accompanied by an identical Recapitalization Event with respect to the corresponding class or series of Units. In the event of a Recapitalization Event as a result of which one class or series of Equity Securities is converted into another class or series of Equity Securities, then a holder of the corresponding class or series of Units will be entitled to receive on exchange the amount of the security that the holder would have received if the exchange of Units had occurred immediately before the effective date of the Recapitalization Event. Except as may be required in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustments in respect of dividends will be made on the exchange of any Unit, except that if the Exchange Date with respect to a Unit occurs after the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Units but before the date of the payment, then the registered holder of the Unit at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on the Unit on the payment date notwithstanding the exchange of the Unit or the default in payment of the dividend or distribution due on the Exchange Date.

 

(e)         

The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Equity Securities, solely for the purpose of issuance on exchange of Units (together with any corresponding Equity Securities), the number of Equity Securities issuable on the exchange of all the outstanding Units, except that nothing in this Agreement will be construed to preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exchange of the Units by delivery of purchased Equity Securities that are held in the treasury of the Company. The Company covenants that all Equity Securities that are issued on exchange of Units will, on issue, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(f)         

The issuance of Equity Securities on exchange of Units will be made without charge to the holders of the Units for any stamp or other similar Tax in respect of the issuance, except that if the shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the Units exchanged, then the person or persons requesting the issuance will pay to die Company the amount of any Tax payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or will establish to the satisfaction of the Company that the Tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

(g)        

In addition to the exchange right set forth in Section 7.9(a), at the option of a Unit Holding Company to be exercised by delivery of a written notice in a manner similar to an Exchange Notice under Section 7.9(b), any holder of 100% of the equity securities of a Unit Holding Company (a “Unit Holding Company Stockholder”) may cause a Unit Holding Company to merge with and into a Company Disregarded Subsidiary in a merger in which the Company Disregarded Subsidiary is the surviving entity, in exchange for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number

 

 
20

 

of Class B Common Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) held by such Unit Holding Company (a “Holding Company Exchange”). The Company and its Affiliates will use Reasonable Best Efforts (x) to effect each Holding Company Exchange in a manner that is tax-free to the Unit Holding Company and the owner of such Unit Holding Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (y) not to take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause a 1-folding Company Exchange not to be treated as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a Holding Company Exchange is effected pursuant to this Section 7.9(g), the Unit Holding Company Stockholder and its Affiliates will be responsible for, and will indemnify and hold the Company and each of its Affiliates harmless against, (X) Tax of a Unit Holding Company incurred in such Holding Company Exchange and (Y) all liabilities of the Unit Holding Company and its Affiliates (including liabilities for Taxes not described in clause (X)) to the extent such liabilities ate attributable to periods through and including the effective date of the Holding Company Exchange, except to the extent attributable to the period after the closing of the Holding Company Exchange, including any liability of the Unit Holding Company arising by reason of being a member of an affiliated, combined, consolidated or other Tax group on or prior to the Holding Company Exchange, in each case, in a manner that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

 

8.1         

Member Transfers.

 

(a)         

A Member (including the Managing Member) may Transfer all or any portion of its Units (either with or without the corresponding shares of Common Stock), and may permit its Transferees to Transfer all or any portion of the Units Transferred to them (either with or without the corresponding shares of Common Stock), as long as (and in addition to any other requirements of the Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transfer):

 

(i)           

at least three days prior to consummating a Transfer (whether by the Member or by its Transferee), the Member (or the applicable Transferee) notifies the Managing Member in writing, and

 

(ii)          

as a condition to consummating the Transfer, any Transferee (other than (x) a Transferee in an Exchange Transaction and (y) a Permitted Transferee) (any such Transferee, an “Assignee”) executes and delivers to the LLC and the Members an Assignee Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C.

 

(b)         

If any of its Units are Transferred in a Transfer that is not permitted under Section 8.1(a) above, such Transfer will be void ab initio.

 

(c)         

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.1 will limit

 

 
21

 

(i)           

the right of any holder of Class B Common Units to exchange all or any portion of its Class B Common Units (together with the corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock) for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant w Section 7.9 and Article 5 of the Charter, or

 

(ii)          

any subsequent Transfer of those shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

8.2        

Permitted Transferees. Subject to Section 8.1, a Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Units to a Permitted Transferee; provided that such Member gives written notice to the LLC of its intention to make a Transfer to such Transferee, stating the name and address of the Permitted Transferee, the Member’s relationship to the Permitted Transferee and the type and amount of Units to be Transferred. As a condition to such Transfer, the Transferor Member will cause the Permitted Transferee to execute and deliver to the Managing Member and each other Member an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit B, and upon consummation of the Transfer, such Permitted Transferee will be a Member and will be subject to all rights and obligations of the Transferor Member under this Agreement.

 

8.3        

Further Restrictions.

 

(a)         

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit be made by any Member, Assignee or Permitted Transferee if:

 

(i)           

the Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own the Unit;

 

(ii)         

the Transfer would require the registration of the Transferred Unit or of any class or series of Unit under any applicable United States federal or state securities Laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other foreign securities Laws or would constitute a non-exempt distribution under applicable state securities Laws;

 

(iii)       

the Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan under the regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations;

 

(iv)        

the Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to become “plan assets” of any benefit plan investor within the meaning of regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations, or to be regulated under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time; or

 

(v)          

to the extent reasonably requested by the Managing Member, the LLC does not receive the legal and tax opinions and written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and (the

 

 
22

 

Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member.

 

(b)       

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Member (including the Managing Member), Assignee or Permitted Transferee will Transfer any or all of its Units, or take (or permit any Affiliate to take) any other action, if the Transfer or action would cause the LLC to have more than 100 partners for purposes of Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1), taking into account the rules of Regulations Section l.7704-1(h)(3), or otherwise could (by itself or in conjunction with other actions) reasonably be expected to result in the LLC being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any Transfer or action in violation of this Section 8.3(b) will be null and void, ab initio.

 

8.4        

Rights of Assignees. The Transferee of any permitted Transfer under this Article VIII (other than (x) a Transfer in an Exchange Transaction and (y) a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee) will be an Assignee, and only will receive, to the extent Transferred, the distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item to which the Member that Transferred its Units would otherwise be entitled, and, unless otherwise required by Law, the Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other rights or powers of a Member including any information rights that may be available to a Member under this Agreement or under the Act.

 

8.5        

Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals. Except for Permitted Transferees, no Person may be admitted to the LLC as an additional Member or substitute Member. No Member will be removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Member of the LLC except in accordance with Section 7.9 or Section 8.7. The Company may be removed as Managing Member only upon the affirmative vote of 75% of the outstanding Voting Units. The Managing Member may not Transfer all of its Units or withdraw from being the Managing Member of the LLC unless a new or substitute Managing Member has been admitted under this Agreement (and has not previously withdrawn), which new or substitute Managing Member may be deemed admitted effective simultaneously with the Transfer, and is hereby authorized to, and will, continue the LLC without dissolution. Except as otherwise provided in Article IX, no admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of a Member will cause the dissolution of the LLC.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any purported admission, withdrawal or removal that is not in accordance with this Agreement will be null and void.

 

8.6        

Void Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void, ab initio.

 

8.7        

Withdrawal of Certain Members. If a Member ceases to hold any Units, then the Member will cease to be a Member and to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member under this Agreement.

 

 
23

 

8.8        

Holding Company Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Transfer that is permitted under this Article VIII may, at the option of a Member that is a Unit Holding Company, be effected as a transfer by the Unit Holding Company Stockholder of all of its securities in such Unit Holding Company (a “Holding Company Transfer”).

 

8.9        

Transfers, Assignments of Interest Subject to Required Governmental Notices and/or Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any transfer, assignment or other disposition of interests in the LLC shall be subject to the prior receipt of any required consents from, or the submission of any required notices to, any Governmental Authorities.

 

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

 

9.1        

No Dissolution. The LLC will not be dissolved by the admission of additional Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The LLC may be dissolved, liquidated and terminated only under the provisions of this Article IX, and the Members irrevocably waive to the fullest extent permitted by Law any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the LLC or a sale or partition of any or all of the LLC assets.

 

9.2        

Events Causing Dissolution. The LLC will be dissolved and its affairs will be wound up on the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Dissolution Event”):

 

(a)         

any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, other than any dissolution, liquidation or winding up in connection with any reincorporation of the Company in another jurisdiction;

 

(b)         

the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act;

 

(c)         

at any time there are no Members of the LLC, unless the LLC is continued in accordance with the Act;

 

(d)         

the Incapacity of the Managing Member or the occurrence of a Disabling Event with respect to the Managing Member, except that the LLC will not be dissolved or required to be wound up and no Dissolution Event will occur in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 9.2(d) if:

 

(i)           

when the event occurs there is at least one other Managing Member of the LLC who is authorized to, and elects to, carry on the business of the LLC;

 

(ii)          

all remaining Members consent to or ratify the continuation of the business of the LLC and the appointment of another Managing Member of the LLC within 90 days following the effective date of the Incapacity (to be effective as of the date of Incapacity), which consent will be deemed (and if requested each

 

 
24

 

Member will provide a written consent for ratification) to have been given for all Members if the holders of more than two-thirds of the Units then outstanding held by Members other than the Managing Member agree in writing to continue the business of the LLC; or

 

(e)         

the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets owned directly or indirectly by the LLC.

 

9.3        

Distribution on Dissolution Events. If a Dissolution Event occurs, the LLC will not be terminated and will continue until the winding up of the affairs of the LLC is complete. On the winding up of the LLC, the Managing Member, or any other Person designated by the Managing Member (the “Liquidation Agent”), will take full account of the assets and liabilities of the LLC and will, unless the Managing Member determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the LLC as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value of the assets. The proceeds of any Dissolution Event will be applied and distributed in the following order:

 

(a)         

first, to satisfy debts and liabilities of the LLC (including any amounts payable or reimbursable to the Company pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and all other indebtedness to Members and their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by Law) including the expenses of liquidation (whether by payment or making reasonable provision for payment);

 

(b)        

second, to the Company in redemption and complete liquidation of its Voting Units that were issued in connection with the issuance of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class 13 Common Stock, an amount equal to the aggregate Par Value of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock; and

 

(c)         

the balance, if any, to the holders of Common Units in redemption and complete liquidation of their Common Units, to be distributed among those holders pro rata in proportion to their respective Common Units.

 

It is intended that the allocation provisions of Article V will produce final Capital Account balances of the Members that would permit liquidating distributions, if those distributions were made in accordance with final Capital Account balances (instead of being made in the order of priorities set forth in this Section 9.3) to be made in a manner identical to the order of priorities set forth in this Section 9.3. To the extent that the allocation provisions of Article V would fail to produce the intended final Capital Account balances, Profits and Losses (including items of gross income or deductions if required to fulfill the intent of this Section 9.3) will be reallocated among the Members for the Taxable Year of the liquidation (and, if necessary and to the extent that the reallocation of corresponding Tax items is permissible under the Code, prior and subsequent Taxable Years) so as to cause the balances in the Capital Accounts to be in the intended amounts.

 

9.4        

Time for Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time will be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the LLC and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant on the liquidation.

 

 
25

 

9.5        

Termination. The LLC will terminate when all of the assets of the LLC, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the LLC, have been distributed to the holders of Units in the mariner provided for in this Article IX, and the Certificate has been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.

 

9.6        

Claims of the Members. The Members will look solely to the LLC’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the LLC remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the LLC are insufficient to return the Capital Contributions, the Members will have no recourse against the LLC or any other Member (including the Managing Member) or any other Person. No Member with a negative balance in the Member’s Capital Account will have any obligation to the LLC or to the other Members or to any creditor or other Person to restore the negative balance during the existence of the LLC, on dissolution or termination of the LLC, or otherwise.

 

9.7        

Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 8.6, 11.2, 11.7, 11.9, 11.10, 11.11 and 11.12 will survive the termination of the LLC.

 

ARTICLE X

LIABILITY OF MEMBERS

 

10.1      

Liability of Members.

 

(a)         

Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Act, no Member will be liable for any debt obligation or liability of the LLC or of any other Member or have any obligation to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Member of the LLC.

 

(b)        

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at Law or in equity, each Member (including the Managing Member), will, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, including Section 18-1101(d) of the Act, owe no fiduciary duties to the LLC, the other Members or any other Person bound by this Agreement as long as the Members (including the Managing Member) act in accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever in this Agreement a Member is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision, the Member may take the action or make the decision in its sole discretion, and the Member may consider, and make its determination based on, the interests and factors as it desires. No Member will have any liability to the LLC or the other Members except as provided in this Agreement.

 

(c)        

The Members (including without limitation, the Managing Member) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the LLC or to any other Member for breach of fiduciary duty for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of any Member (including without limitation, the Managing Member) otherwise existing at Law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to modify to

 

 
26
