AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
3.1 Capital Accounts.
3.1.1 A separate capital account (a "Capital Account") shall be maintained for
each Member. Each Member's Capital Account shall be credited with (i) the amount of such
Member's aggregate capital contributions made in cash and the fair market value of all property
contributed by such Member (net of liabilities that are secured by such contributed property), (ii)
such Member's allocated share of Net Profit and other items of income and gain of the
Company, and (iii) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member. Each
Member's Capital Account shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any cash distributions to such
Member and the fair market value of all property distributed in kind to such Member (net of
liabilities that are secured by such distributed property), (ii) such Member's allocated share of
Net Loss and other items of deduction and loss of the Company, and (iii) the amount of any
liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company.
3.1.2 The foregoing provisions and other provisions of this Agreement relating
to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations
§1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. The Class A Managing
Members shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocation of items to the
Capital Accounts if necessary to comply with such Treasury Regulation.

3.2.1 Members shall be required to make additional capital contributions as
provided in this Agreement.
3.2.2 Each Member shall make such additional capital contributions as are
demanded by the Class B Managing Member, within forty-five (45) days of the Class B
Managing Member's demand (the "Closing Date"). If a Member fails to make such additional
capital contribution by the Closing Date (the "Defaulting Member"), the amount of the
Defaulting Member's unpaid additional capital contribution shall be treated (i) as a loan to the
Defaulting Member from the Company; or (ii) as a loan to the Defaulting Member from such
other Members, if any, who have paid the Defaulting Member's additional capital contribution
on the Defaulting Member's behalf. In such event, the Defaulting Member shall pay to the
Company interest, or to such other Members, their pro rata portion of the interest, on the unpaid
additional capital contribution at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum until the Defaulting
Member has paid the outstanding additional capital contribution in full. Interest shall accrue
commencing with the Closing Date, and shall be due and payable on each anniversary of the
Closing Date.
3.2.3 Any Member may make additional contributions of capital, in cash or in
property, in amounts and at times agreed to by the Class B Managing Member. In the event that
a contribution of capital is made at a time other than the end or beginning of a calendar year, the
Class B Managing Member may treat such contribution (or, in the case of contributed property,
the fair market value of such property) as a loan until the end of the then-current accounting
period, bearing interest at a rate that is determined by the Class B Managing Member to be a fair
and reasonable interest rate, taking into account the interests of all Members.
9
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201508
3.2.4 The Class B Managing Member shall update the Company's books and
records to reflect any additional capital contribution.
3.3 Loans. Any Member may, but shall not be required to, make loans to the
Company and, in respect of such loans, shall be treated as a creditor of the Company. Such loans
shall be repaid as and when the Company has funds available therefor, and such loans and
interest thereon (at rates to be agreed upon by the lending Member and the Company) shall
constitute obligations of the Company. Any such loan shall not increase such Member's Capital
Account, entitle such Member to any increase in such Member's share of the profits of the
Company or subject such Member to any greater proportion of losses which the Company may
sustain.
ARTICLE IV
ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND LOSS
4.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses.
4.1.1 The Company's Net Profit and Net Loss for any Accounting Period shall
be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
4.1.2 The Company's items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be
allocated for Federal, state and local income tax purposes among the Members proportionately to
the allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss among the Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
solely for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, in accordance with Sections 704(b) and
704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member shall be allocated
among the Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury
10
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201509
Regulations promulgated thereunder so as to take account of any difference between the tax basis
of such property to the Company for Federal income tax purposes and its book basis.
4.1.3 If any Membership Interest is transferred or any Percentage Interest is
changed pursuant to the terms of the Agreement during a Fiscal Year, the amount of Net Profit
and Net Loss to be allocated to the Members for such entire Fiscal Year in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests shall be allocated to the portion of such Fiscal Year which
precedes the date of such transfer or change (and if there shall have been a prior transfer or
change in such Fiscal Year, which commences on the date of such prior transfer or change) and
to the portion of such Fiscal Year which occurs on and after the date of such transfer or change
(and if there shall be a subsequent transfer or change in such Fiscal Year, which precedes the
date of such subsequent transfer or change), in proportion to the number of days in each such
portion (or, in the case of a transfer, in accordance with an interim closing of the books at the
election and the expense of the parties to the transfer), and the amounts of the items so allocated
to each such portion shall be credited or charged to the Members in proportion to their respective
Percentage Interests during each such portion of the Fiscal Year in question. Such allocation
shall be made without regard to the date, amount or receipt of any distributions that may have
been made with respect to the transferred Membership Interest. As of the date of such transfer,
the transferee Member shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Member with
respect to the transferred Membership Interest.
4.2 Regulatory Allocations.
4.2.1 Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder,
including but not limited to the provisions of such Treasury Regulations addressing qualified
income offset provisions, minimum gain chargeback requirements and allocations of deductions
11
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201510
attributable to nonrecourse debt and partner nonrecourse debt, are hereby incorporated by
reference. If, as a result of the provisions of Section 704 of the Code and such Treasury
Regulations, items of Net Profit or Net Loss are allocated to the Members in a manner that is
inconsistent with the manner in which the Members intend to divide Company distributions as
reflected in Section 4.1, to the extent permitted under such Treasury Regulations, items of future
profit and loss shall be allocated among the Members so as to prevent such allocations from
distorting the manner in which Company distributions will be divided among the Members
pursuant to this Agreement.
4.2.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, no Member shall
be allocated in any Fiscal Year of the Company any Net Loss to the extent such allocation would
cause or increase a deficit balance in such Member's Capital Account, determined after taking
into account all other allocations to be made for such year pursuant to this Article IV and after
adjusting such Capital Account for the reasonably expected adjustments, allocations and
distributions described in Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). In the event that one but
not all of the Members would have a deficit balance in his Capital Account, the limitation set
forth in this Section 4.2.2 shall be applied so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Loss to
such Member under Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Any such Net Loss in excess of
the limitation set forth in this Section 4.2.2 that would be allocated to a Member shall be
allocated to the other Member or Members. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in his
Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year, such Member shall be specially allocated items of
Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member
would have a deficit balance in his, her or its Capital Account in excess of such sum after all
12
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201511
other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been tentatively made as if this Section
4.2.2 were not in this Agreement. This Section 4.2.2 is intended to comply with the qualified
income offset requirement of Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.
ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS
5.1 Distributions Other Than Upon Winding-Up. Distributions shall be made to the
Members at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined in the sole discretion of the Class
B Managing Members. Such distributions shall be allocated among the Members in proportion
to their Percentage Interests. The Class B Managing Members shall have authority to make any
such distributions on behalf of any Member (i) directly to the United States Treasury and any
state or local taxing authority of such amounts as may be necessary to discharge such Member's
income tax liability (including but not limited to Federal, State, local or otherwise) and (ii) if
such Member is under the age of majority, to a custodian on behalf of such Member.
5.2 Distributions Upon Winding Up. Upon the dissolution and winding-up of the
Company, distributions shall be made as provided in Section 7.3.
ARTICLE VI
TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
6.1 Right of First Refusal. Except as permitted by Section 6.2, but in all events
subject to Section 9.1 hereof, no Member or any assignee thereof shall have the right to sell,
assign, or otherwise transfer all or any part of such Member's Membership Interest (the "Offered
Interests") unless such Member or assignee (the "Seller") first offers to sell the Offered Interests
pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.1.
13
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201512
6.1.1 No transfer may be made under this Section 6.1 unless the Seller has
received a bona fide written offer (the "Purchase Offer") from the prospective transferee (the
"Purchaser") to purchase the Offered Interests for a purchase price (the "Offer Price")
denominated and payable in United States dollars at closing or according to specified terms, with
or without interest, which offer shall be in writing signed by the Purchaser and shall be
irrevocable for a period ending no sooner than the day following the end of the Offer Period, as
hereinafter defined.
6.1.2 Prior to making any transfer that is subject to the terms of this Section 6.1,
the Seller shall give to each Member, written notice (the "Offer Notice") which shall include the
following: (1) the identity of the Purchaser; (2) a copy of the Purchase Offer; (3) a statement
signed by the Purchaser to the effect that, upon purchase of the Offered Interests, the Purchaser
agrees to become a Member, to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as
a Member with respect to the Offered Interests, and to execute such documents and instruments
as the other Members deem necessary or appropriate to confirm such agreements; and (4) an
offer (the "Firm Offer") to sell the Offered Interests to the other Members (the "Offerees") for
the Offer Price, payable according to the same terms as (or more favorable terms than) those
contained in the Purchase Offer, provided that the Firm Offer shall be made without regard to the
requirement of any earnest money or similar deposit required of the Purchaser prior to closing,
and without regard to any security (other than the Offered Interests) to be provided by the
Purchaser for any deferred portion of the Offer Price.
6.1.3 The Firm Offer shall be irrevocable for a period (the "Offer Period")
ending at 5:00 P.M., local time, at the Company's principal place of business, on the ninetieth
(90th) day following the day of the Offer Notice.
14
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201513
6.1.4 At any time during the Offer Period, any Offeree may accept the Firm
Offer as to all or any portion of the Offered Interests by giving written notice of such acceptance
to the Seller and each other Offeree (an "Acceptance") which notice shall indicate the maximum
portion of the Offered Interests that such Offeree is willing to purchase. In the event that
Offerees ("Accepting Offerees"), in the aggregate, accept the Firm Offer with respect to all, or
more than all, of the Offered Interests during the Offer Period, the Firm Offer shall be deemed to
be accepted. In the event that Accepting Offerees accept the Finn Offer with respect to more
than all of the Offered Interests, each Accepting Offeree shall be deemed to have accepted the
Firm Offer with respect to that portion of the Offered Interests that corresponds to the ratio of the
Offered Interests that such Accepting Offeree indicated a willingness to purchase to the
aggregate Offered Interests all Accepting Offerees indicated a willingness to purchase. If
Offerees do not accept the Finn Offer as to all, or more than all, of the Offered Interests during
the Offer Period, the Firm Offer shall be deemed to be rejected in its entirety.
6.1.5 In the event the Finn Offer is accepted, the closing of the sale of the
Offered Interests shall take place within thirty (30) days after the Finn Offer is accepted or, if
later, the date of closing set forth in the Purchase Offer. The Seller and all Accepting Offerees

sale of the Offered Interests pursuant to the terms of the Finn Offer and this Section 6.1 and such
sale shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.1.
6.1.6 If the Finn Offer is not accepted in the manner hereinabove provided, the
Seller may sell the Offered Interests to the Purchaser at any time within sixty (60) days after the
last day of the Offer Period, provided that such sale shall be made on terms no more favorable to
the Purchaser than the terms contained in the Purchase Offer and provided further that such sale
15
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201514
complies with the other terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Agreement that are applicable
to sales of Membership Interests and are not expressly made inapplicable to sales occurring
under this Section 6.1. In the event that the Offered Interest is not sold in accordance with the
terms of the preceding sentence, the Offered Interest shall again become subject to all of the
conditions and restrictions of this Section 6.1.
6.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 6.1, but in all events subject to
Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof, a Member may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any
part of such Member's Membership Interest without an offer first having been made pursuant to
Section 6.1 if, and only if, such transferee or pledgee is an Eligible Person. In addition,
notwithstanding Section 6.1, any interest as a Member which is held by a custodian for a minor
under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or a similar act shall be
fully transferable and assignable to the minor when the minor reaches the age of termination of
such custodianship under the applicable statute.
6.3 Certain Prohibited Transfers. Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, no
Member shall have the right to sell, assign, or otherwise transfer any portion or all of such
Member's Membership Interest if such sale, assignment or other transfer would cause (i) the
Company to be classified as a publicly traded partnership or otherwise as a corporation for
United States federal income tax purposes or (ii) unless the Company determines it to be
immaterial, a termination of the Company pursuant to Section 708 of the Code.
6.4 Other Purported Transfers. No Member shall have the right to sell, assign,
mortgage, pledge, or otherwise voluntarily transfer or encumber any portion or all of such
Member's Membership Interest, except as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof. A transferee
who acquires a Membership Interest by any purported sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge,
16
Dock USI:9600195v9
EFTA01201515
hypothecation or other voluntary transfer or encumbrance by a Member of any or all of such
Member's Membership Interest, in violation of this Article, shall be entitled only to share in such
profits and losses, to receive such distribution or distributions, and to receive such allocation of
income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit or similar item to which the assignor was entitled, to the
extent assigned. Such transferee shall have no right to an accounting of the affairs of the
Company and shall not have any rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement, except as
to allocations and distributions with respect to such transferred interests.
6.5 No Right to Withdraw.
6.5.1 No Member may withdraw from the Company or reduce such Member's
Capital Account without the unanimous consent of the Class B Managing Members. No
