amount of capital expenditures (as determined in accordance with GAAP) actually made by Canyon and its Subsidiaries between June 30, 2008 and the Closing Date (the “Actual Capital Expenditure Amount”). Within three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, ETP shall deliver ETP’s good faith estimate of the Actual Capital Expenditure Amount (the “Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount”) together with such documentation to support such calculation as may be reasonably requested by OGE. The Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount shall be used to determine the Shortfall Amount, if any, that will be paid by ETP at Closing, but will be subject to post-Closing adjustments as described in the remaining provisions of this Section 2.3(b). If OGE disagrees with the Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount, OGE may, within 30 days after Closing, deliver a notice to ETP disagreeing with the Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount and setting forth OGE’s calculation of the Actual Capital Expenditure Amount (a “Notice of Disagreement”). Any such Notice of Disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which OGE disagrees, and OGE shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount. If a Notice of Disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, ETP and OGE shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Actual Capital Expenditure Amount. If, during such period, ETP and OGE are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter jointly retain a nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting Referee”) other than Grant Thornton LLP or Ernst & Young LLP to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Actual Capital Expenditure Amount. In making any such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in ETP’s calculation of the Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount as to which OGE has disagreed. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to ETP and OGE, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth each such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon ETP and OGE. The cost of such review and report shall be borne equally by ETP and OGE. If such Actual Capital Expenditure Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), increases the Shortfall Amount from the amount determined using the Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount, ETP shall, within 10 Business Days following such final determination, make a cash payment in immediately available funds to ETIH equal to the amount by which the Shortfall Amount so increased.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement (through the Closing Date), ETP shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, take any action or fail to take any commercially reasonable action if such action or inaction, as the case may be, would adversely affect the applicability of any insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement that covers all or any part of the assets or Business of the ETIH Group Entities (the “Applicable ETP Insurance”). ETP agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, all proceeds from claims made on or before the Closing Date under the Applicable ETP Insurance directly or indirectly applicable to the assets or Business of the ETIH Group Entities shall be for the benefit of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date and in any reasonable manner requested by the Company, ETP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Applicable ETP Insurance policies and arrangements are modified, amended or assigned so that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is a direct beneficiary of such Applicable ETP Insurance with all rights to enforce, obtain the benefit of and take all other action in respect of such Applicable ETP Insurance; provided, however, that if the modifications, amendments or assignments contemplated by this Section 5.9(a) are not permissible, ETP shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) make any claim against the Applicable ETP Insurance reasonably requested by the Company, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect any proceeds payable under the Applicable ETP Insurance and (iii) deliver any such proceeds received by ETP or its Subsidiaries to the Company.

OGE agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, all proceeds from claims made on or before the Closing Date under the Applicable OGE Insurance directly or indirectly applicable to the assets or Business of the Enogex Group Entities shall be for the benefit of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date and in any

(a) By the mutual written agreement of OGE and ETP;

(b) By either OGE or ETP if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if its breach of its obligations under this Agreement proximately contributed to the occurrence of such order;

(c) By OGE if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of ETP, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a), unless such failure is reasonably capable of being cured, and ETP is using, or continuing to use, all reasonable efforts to cure such failure by the End Date;

(d) By ETP if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of OGE, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a), unless such failure is reasonably capable of being cured, and OGE is using, or continuing to use, all reasonable efforts to cure such failure by the End Date; or

The Budget for each fiscal year shall set forth, on a monthly basis for such year, the anticipated costs to be incurred in connection with the Company, including the costs of operating and field personnel providing day-to-day operations of the Company Business, and the anticipated capital costs to be incurred in connection with the Company Business.

Each Budget shall be subject to the approval requirement of Section 4.7(a)(iii).

With respect to non-recurring amounts and capital expenditures, if any, for which there is no corresponding portion of the Approved Budget for the preceding Fiscal Year, only budgeted amounts directed or approved by the Management Council on a case by case basis shall be utilized (except as provided in Section 8.2).

SECTION 8.2 Approval of New Projects. With respect to a New Project and related financing not included in the most recent Approved Budget:

(a) If such New Project has been approved by the Management Council, the Approved Budget will be amended to include the New Project (and related financing); provided, however, that any proposal with respect to a New Project must include a related financing plan,

-27-

which financing plan will describe, among other things and as applicable, the material terms of any Capital Contributions required to be made by any Member.

(b) If a New Project is disapproved by the Management Council Members, then no Member may pursue such New Project independently unless such New Project would not conflict with the exclusivity provisions of Section 8.3, in which case any Member may pursue such New Project independently.

(c) No Member may, in its independent pursuit of any New Project that it is permitted to pursue under this Section 8.2 (or a substantially similar project to any such New Project), use any written materials specifically developed by or for the Company (other than by such Member) in connection with the evaluation of such New Project and presented to the Management Council at a meeting of the Management Council (the “Company Evaluation Materials”); provided, however, that “Company Evaluation Materials” shall not include any material that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the applicable Member; (ii) was in the applicable Member’s possession prior to the development or creation by or for the Company in connection with the evaluation of a New Project, (iii) becomes available to the applicable Member from a third party who, to the knowledge of such Member, did not receive such material from the Company or a Member or (iv) such Member can reasonably demonstrate was independently developed by such Member without reliance upon any material separately developed by or for the Company (other than by such Member) in connection with a New Project (it being understood and agreed that (A) any engineering studies and drawings developed by or for such Member shall not be considered “Company Evaluation Materials” if such engineering studies and drawings were developed without reliance on or otherwise using similar engineering studies and drawings developed by or for the Company (other than by such Member) in connection with a New Project, and (B) neither the concept, general location or general description of a New Project nor information provided by, or discussions with, potential customers or vendors related to any New Project shall be considered “Company Evaluation Materials”); provided further that the Members agree that no Member shall be presumed to have misused any information contained in such written materials solely because any Management Council Member appointed by such Member retained mental impressions of such information as a result of attendance at any meeting at which such written materials were presented.

SECTION 8.3 Limited Exclusivity.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.3, and subject to Applicable Law, including the FERC Standards of Conduct, the Members and their Affiliates may at any time, and from time to time, engage in, and possess interests in, other business ventures and activities of any and every type and description (including Transportation Pipelines, upstream gathering or lateral pipelines or processing facilities or downstream pipelines or processing facilities), independently or with others, regardless of whether such ventures are competitive with the Company or any Group Member, and regardless of whether such business ventures and activities are located inside or outside the Designated Area, or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Member, and each Member shall be permitted to vote its Membership Interests (and the Management Council Members

-28-

representing such Member shall be permitted to vote) in its own self-interest. No Member who (directly or through an Affiliate) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for any Group Member shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company or any other Member, and such Member (and its officers and the Management Council Members representing such Member) shall not be liable to the Company, any Member or any other Person for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Member pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself or its Affiliate directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company; provided, however, that no Member may independently pursue any projects (regardless of whether they are New Projects) that are specifically identified in an Approved Budget that was approved by at least one of such Member’s Management Council Members or are set forth on Schedule 8.3(a) as part of the Company’s expansion or acquisition plans. Neither the Company nor any other Member shall by virtue of this Agreement have any right, title, or interest in or to such independent ventures and activities or to the income or profits derived therefrom, nor shall engaging in such ventures and activities constitute a breach of a Member’s obligations hereunder. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement and Applicable Law, including the FERC Standards of Conduct, any Member may, but shall not be obligated to, submit potential projects to the Management Council for consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Management Council nor any Member will be under any obligation to approve such projects, and the Company will not be under any obligation to pursue or develop such projects. Subject to this Section 8.3, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have any right or expectation to participate in any project or acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(a) shall not be construed to authorize a Member to engage in any activities that would result in such Member, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries not being FERC Compliant.

(b) Projects Required to be Conducted through the Company Group. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Sections 8.3(c) and (d) and except as set forth in Section 8.2, the following projects and activities must be owned, developed, operated and conducted through the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and may not be owned, developed, operated or conducted by any Initial Member or any Affiliate thereof during the period that such Initial Member (or any Affiliate thereof) remains a Member:

(ii) All gathering assets located within the Designated Area that gather natural gas or any constituents of the natural gas stream;

(iii) All processing and storage assets located within the Designated Area that process or store, respectively, natural gas or any constituents of the natural gas stream;

(iv) All interstate pipelines, if any portion is located within the Designated Area, that transport natural gas or any constituents of the natural gas stream;

-29-

(v) Any (A) expansion of capacity (through looping or compression) or extension of any pipeline owned or operated by TW or (B) construction of any lateral pipeline connection to an existing pipeline owned or operated by TW (in each case, a “TW Project”); and

(vi) Any MEP Lateral Opportunity permitted to be pursued by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c)(ii).

(i) any assets of Enogex or its Affiliates that are already subject to exclusivity obligations pursuant to that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of Atoka Midstream LLC, dated as of December 22, 2006 (the “Existing Enogex Exclusivity Obligations”), will not be subject to Section 8.3(b) so long as, and to the extent, the Existing Enogex Exclusivity Obligations remain in place; and

(ii) any assets of ETIH or its Affiliates that are already subject to exclusivity obligations pursuant to the MEP LLC Agreement (the “Existing MEP Exclusivity Obligations”) will not be subject to Section 8.3(b) so long as, and to the extent, the Existing MEP Exclusivity Obligations remain in place; provided, however, if (A) a Member proposes a New Project that is subject to the Existing MEP Exclusivity Obligations, the Company shall propose that MEP pursue such New Project and (B) if MEP does not approve pursuing such New Project, and as a result thereof the Company is permitted under the terms of the Existing MEP Exclusivity Obligations to pursue such New Project, then such New Project shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.2.

(d) Future Acquisitions.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3 to the contrary, in the case of a proposed acquisition by the Company, an Initial Member or an Initial Member’s Affiliate (excluding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) of a business or assets of the type described in Section 8.3(b)(i)-(iv) of which a majority of such business or assets (based on the Fair Market Value) is located in the Designated Area (a “Majority Opportunity”), then such Majority Opportunity shall be considered a New Project, and subject to the proviso set forth below, an Initial Member must comply with the requirements of Section 8.2 in respect of such Majority Opportunity; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall prohibit any Initial Member or any Affiliate of an Initial Member (excluding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) from separately pursuing an acquisition of the portion of such business or assets involved in the Majority Opportunity but located outside the Designated Area. For purposes of this Section 8.3(d), the following pipelines shall be deemed not to have a majority of their respective business or assets located within the Designated Area: (A) the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline, (B) the Northern Natural Gas Pipeline, (C) the Central Southern Star Pipeline and (D) the Rockies Express Pipeline (the “Excluded Interstate Pipelines”). If any portion of such proposed acquisition is in the ETP Sub Area (the “ETP Sub Portion”), then the Company will be required to offer (and the Members will cause the Company to offer) the ETP Sub Portion to ETP Sub at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Management Council) of the ETP Sub Portion, as increased to take into account federal and state

-30-

taxes that the Company (or the Persons that own direct or indirect interests in the Company, in the case of income taxes) would reasonably be expected to incur in the event the ETP Sub Portion is transferred to ETP Sub, and on other customary and commercially reasonable terms, it being understood that the terms on which the MLP acquired such business and assets from the seller shall be given appropriate weight in determining what are customary and commercially reasonable terms. In the case of a proposed acquisition by the Company, a Member or a Member’s Affiliate (excluding the Company or its Subsidiaries) of a business or assets that is not a Majority Opportunity, then each of the Company, any Member or any Member’s Affiliate may pursue such proposed acquisition independently; provided, however, that if any Initial Member or its Affiliate is the acquiring party, then such acquiring party will be required to offer to the Company the portion of such business or assets located in the Designated Area (the “DA Portion”). The offer price for the DA Portion will be equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors or similar governing body of the acquiring party) of the DA Portion, as increased to take into account federal and state taxes that the acquiring party (or, if the acquiring party is a partnership or other non-tax paying entity for federal income tax purposes, the Persons that own direct or indirect interests therein, in the case of income taxes) would reasonably be expected to incur in the event the DA Portion is transferred to the Company and on other customary and commercially reasonable terms, it being understood that the terms on which the Initial Member or its Affiliate acquired such business and assets from the seller shall be given appropriate weight in determining what are customary and commercially reasonable terms. The Parties agree to work in good faith with their respective tax advisors to structure the transactions contemplated by this Section 8.3(b)(i) to minimize any federal and state tax impact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any portion of any assets acquired by an Initial Member or its Affiliate consist of (x) any interstate natural gas pipeline owned and operated by CenterPoint Gas Transmission Company as of the date of the Contribution Agreement (excluding the interstate natural gas pipeline that runs from Carthage, Texas to Perryville, Louisiana) or (y) any natural gas pipeline located in (or running through) Oklahoma that is owned and operated by ONEOK Partners, L.P. as of the date of the Contribution Agreement and that is or later becomes an interstate natural gas pipeline, then such interstate pipeline assets will be treated in the same manner as if they were included in the DA Portion and (ii) neither ETP Sub nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to offer to the MLP the assets described on Schedule 8.3(d) if such assets are acquired by any such party.

(ii) If there is a dispute between an Initial Member and the Company as to whether a majority of the business or assets are within or outside the Designated Area as determined pursuant to Section 8.3(d)(i) and such dispute continues more than 10 Business Days following written notice of such dispute, such Initial Member and the Company will engage a mutually agreed upon investment banking firm to determine the Fair Market Value of the business and assets located within the Designated Area and the Fair Market Value of the business and assets located outside the Designated Area. Any such determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees of the investment banking firm will paid by the losing party. With respect to any such disputes, the Members consent on behalf of the Company to this procedure and agree to take all steps necessary to ensure the Company participates in and abides by such procedure.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 8.3(d), (1) the Person that is required pursuant to Section 8.3(d)(i) to make an offer to another Person to purchase a business or assets

-31-

shall be referred to as the “Offeror,” (2) the Person who is entitled to receive the offer shall be referred to as the “Offeree,” (3) the business or assets subject to the Offer are referred to as the “Subject Assets,” (4) the price at which the Offeror is required to offer the Subject Assets to the Offeree is referred to as the “Offer Price” and (5) the other terms on which the Offer offers to sell the Subject Assets are referred to as the “Offer Terms.”

(iv) Within 45 days after the consummation of the proposed acquisition described in Section 8.3(d)(i), the Offeror shall notify the Offeree in writing of such acquisition and offer the Offeree the opportunity to purchase such Subject Assets in accordance with this Section 8.3(b) (the “Offer”). The Offer shall set forth the terms relating to the purchase of the Subject Assets and the Offeror shall provide Offeree with prompt, reasonable access to all applicable due diligence materials relating to the Subject Assets, as well as to any applicable employees, officers, accountants, consultants and other representatives, to facilitate Offeree’s evaluation of the Offer. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after receipt of such written notification, Offeree shall notify the Offeror in writing that either (A) the Offeree has elected not to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the Offeror shall be forever free to continue to own or operate such Subject Assets, including any expansions or enhancements thereto, or (B) the Offeree has elected to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the following procedures shall apply.

(v) If the Offeree, within 30 days after receipt of the Offer, agrees on the Offer Price and the Offer Terms, the Offeree shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon Offer Price and Offer Terms as soon as commercially practicable (taking into account, among other things, any related securities offering or other financing transaction), but in any event no later than 90 days from the date on which a definitive transaction agreement is executed by the parties thereto.

(vi) If the Offeree does not agree on the Offer Price or the Offer Terms within 30 days after receipt of the Offer, the Offeree and the Offeror will negotiate in good faith for an additional 30 days to attempt to reach agreement on the Fair Market Value of the Subject Assets and the other terms of the Offer. If the Offeree and the Offeror agree on the Offer Price and the Offer Terms within such 30-day period, the Offeree shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon Offer Price and other Offer Terms as soon as commercially practicable (taking into account, among other things, any related securities offering or other financing transaction), but in any event no later than 90 days from the date on which a definitive transaction agreement is executed by the parties thereto.

(vii) If the Offeree and the Offeror are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by the Offeree of the Offer on the Fair Market Value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer or the other terms of the Offer, the Offeree and the Offeror will engage a mutually agreed upon investment banking firm to determine the Fair Market Value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Offeree and Offeror are unable to agree. Within five Business Days thereafter, both the Offeree and the Offeror shall submit to such investment bank their respective proposals (which proposals must be identical to the last proposal offered by each respective party to the other party during the negotiation period described in clause (vi) above) with respect to the Fair Market Value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Offeree and the Offeror are unable to agree. Such investment bank shall choose one (and only

-32-

one) of the proposals submitted by the Offeree and the Offeror within 30 days of its engagement and furnish the Offeree and the Offeror its determination. The fees and expenses of the investment bank and other jointly incurred costs shall be borne 50% by each of the Offeror and the Offeree. Once the investment banking firm has submitted its determination of the Fair Market Value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Offeree and the Offeror are unable to agree, the Offeree will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm. The Offeree will provide written notice of its decision to Offeror within 30 days after the investment banking firm has submitted its determination. Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the Subject Assets. If the Offeree elects to purchase the Subject Assets, then the Offeree shall purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm as soon as commercially practicable (taking into account, among other things, any related securities offering or other financing transaction), but in any event no later than 90 days from the earlier of (A) the date on which a definitive transaction agreement is executed by the parties thereto and (B) the date of the Parties’ receipt of the investment banking firm’s determination pursuant to this clause (vii).

(viii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article IV, all decisions of the Company in respect of the purchase of Subject Assets comprising a DA Portion or the sale of Subject Assets comprising an ETP Sub Portion shall be made solely by the Management Council Members other than those appointed by the Member who is (or whose Affiliate is) the Offeror or Offeree of such Subject Assets.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, solely for purposes of Section 8.3(b) and (d), no Person that controls Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of ETP Sub.

ARTICLE IX

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 9.1 Initial Capital Contributions. On the Effective Date, each Member shall contribute to the Company, as a Capital Contribution, the assets set forth on Exhibit B (with respect to each Member, an “Initial Capital Contribution”), which shall have the values set forth on Exhibit B.¹


¹		OGE Sub and ETP Sub will agree prior to the Effective Date to the amount of the aggregate fair market value of all Initial Capital Contributions listed in Exhibit B. Such aggregate fair market value shall be based on the value of the Company as a business (including goodwill) and will be derived from (i) the aggregate fair market value determined for the assets (including goodwill) of the Company under financial reporting principles, if the Company is required to determine the aggregate fair market value of its assets as of the date of the Closing in order to comply with financial reporting rules or (ii) models prepared by the financial advisors to the Members if the Company is not required to determine the aggregate fair market value of its assets as of the Initial Closing Date in order to comply with financial reporting rules. OGE Sub and ETP Sub will also agree prior to the Initial Closing Date to the allocation of the aggregate fair market value of all Initial Capital Contributions between the Members, which shall be on a 50/50 basis subject to adjustment to take proper account of (x) the $266 million distribution paid to OGE Sub on the Effective Date following such Initial Capital Contribution as described in Section 10.7(c) and (y) the

-33-

SECTION 9.2 Additional Capital Contributions. No Member will be required to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company, except Capital Contributions required to fund actual costs included in the financing plans submitted with proposals for New Projects approved by the Management Council or to fund the costs of any projects already specifically identified in an Approved Budget that has been approved by at least one Management Council Member appointed by such Member. The Management Council shall provide an Authorization for Expenditure (“AFE”) to each Member at least 90 days prior to the date on which such funds will be required setting forth: (a) the project(s) to which such additional Capital Contribution is related and (B) the proportionate share of the additional Capital Contribution required from such Member (the “Required Funding Amount”). Any such Capital Contributions shall be made in proportion to the Membership Interests held by the Members that elect to make such Capital Contributions.

SECTION 9.3 Return of Contributions. A Member is not entitled (i) to the return of any part of any Capital Contributions or (ii) to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions. Any unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member. A Member is not required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any other Member’s Capital Contributions.

SECTION 9.4 Non-Payment of Required Capital Contributions. If a Member (the “Delinquent Member”) does not pay the Required Funding Amount, including any adjustments for actual cost, within 60 days after the Delinquent Member’s receipt of the AFE (the “Payment Due Date”), the Delinquent Member’s ownership of Membership Interests shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) If the Delinquent Member has not paid the Required Funding Amount, including any adjustments for actual costs, within 5 Business Days of the Payment Due Date, the Management Council shall deliver a written notice of non-consent election (“Non-Consent Notice”) to the Delinquent Member at any time after the expiration of 5 Business Days following the Payment Due Date. If the Management Council fails or refuses to deliver the Non-Consent Notice, then the Management Council Member representing any Non-Delinquent Member may cause the Non-Consent Notice to be sent to the Delinquent Member on behalf of the Company. Until the Delinquent Member receives the Non-Consent Notice, the Delinquent Member shall have the right to cure its default by paying the unpaid Required Funding Amount.

(b) If at the time the Delinquent Member receives the Non-Consent Notice, the Delinquent Member has not cured its default as provided herein:

(i) the Delinquent Member will be deemed to have elected not to participate in the project to which the Required Funding Amount relates, regardless of any previous approval of, or election to participate in, such project; and

special distributions from the Company expected to be payable to OGE Sub under Section 10.2(b) based on the cash flow models prepared by the financial advisors to the Members.

-34-

(ii) the Management Council may offer to the other Members (the “Non-Delinquent Members”) the right to contribute the portion of the Required Funding Amount not made by the Delinquent Member (the “Delinquent Required Funding Amount”) on the following terms and conditions:

(A) The Management Council shall immediately notify in writing, or cause the Company to notify in writing, each Non-Delinquent Member that such Member will have the right to contribute a portion of the Delinquent Required Funding Amount based upon such Member’s Membership Interest (the “Participation Notice”). Each Non-Delinquent Member will have 5 Business Days from the date it actually receives the Participation Notice to respond to the Management Council in writing that such Member will contribute its portion of the Delinquent Required Funding Amount, and each such Non-Delinquent Member who contributes its portion of the Delinquent Required Funding Amount will be considered a “Participating Member”. The failure of a Non-Delinquent Member to respond to the Participation Notice within 5 Business Days will be deemed to be an election by the Non-Delinquent Member not to make its proportionate share of the Delinquent Required Funding Amount.

(c) The portion of the Delinquent Required Funding Amount funded by each Participating Member will be treated as a capital contribution to the Company and the Membership Interests of each Member shall be adjusted to equal the amount (expressed as a percentage) determined by dividing the total Capital Contributions made by such Member by the total Capital Contributions made by all Members (except that for purposes of such calculation, (i) each Member’s Initial Capital Contribution shall be deemed to have been $___² instead of the actual amount thereof and (ii) each dollar of the portion of the Delinquent Required Funding Amount funded by each Participating Member will be considered to have been a Capital Contribution of two dollars).

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

SECTION 10.1 Distributable Cash. Distributable cash (“Distributable Cash”) shall mean all cash of the Company Group remaining at such time after setting aside reasonable reserves determined by the Management Council for working capital, capital expenditures, retirement of outstanding indebtedness and other present or future requirements of the Company Group, all in accordance with the purposes of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

SECTION 10.2 Distributions.

(a) Within 40 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter, the Management Council shall determine the amount of Distributable Cash as of the end of such calendar quarter. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3, the Company will make distributions (“Distributions”) to the Members within 47 calendar days following the end of each calendar quarter of all Distributable Cash for such previous calendar quarter. Except as otherwise


²		This blank will be filled with the agreed dollar value of ETP’s Initial Capital Contribution.

-35-

provided in this Section 10.2, Section 10.7 or Section 12.3(d), Distributions will be made to the Members in proportion to their respective Membership Interests.

(b) With respect to any calendar quarter prior to the 55% Special Distribution Termination Date, (i) OGE Sub shall be entitled to an additional distribution from the Company equal to 5% of the amount of cash distributions received by the Members (in each case, the “55% Special Distribution”) and (ii) the amount of distributions to ETP Sub from the Company for each such period shall be reduced by an equal amount; provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate amount of (x) the 55% Special Distributions and (y) the 75% Special Distributions exceed the OGE Adjustment Amount.

(c) With respect to any calendar quarter prior to the 75% Special Distribution Termination Date, (i) OGE Sub shall be entitled to an additional distribution for such period from the Company (A) during the period prior to the 55% Special Distribution Termination Date, equal to 20% of the Excess Cash Flow for such period and (B) during the period from and after the 55% Special Distribution Termination Date until the 75% Special Distribution Termination Date, equal to 25% of the Excess Cash Flow for such period (in each case, the “75% Special Distribution”) and (ii) the amount of distributions to ETP Sub from the Company for each such period shall be reduced by an equal amount; provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate amount of (x) the 55% Special Distributions and (y) the 75% Special Distributions exceed the OGE Adjustment Amount.

SECTION 10.3 Allocations. After giving effect to the special allocations in Section 10.5, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Membership Interests; provided, however, that with respect to any period prior to the 55% Special Distribution Termination Date, (i) OGE Sub shall be entitled to an additional allocation of such items of the Company equal to 5% of all such items of the Company for such period and (ii) the amount of the allocations to ETP Sub from the Company for such period shall be reduced by an equal amount.

SECTION 10.4 Loss Limitation. The deductions and losses allocated according to Section 10.3 may not exceed the maximum amount of deductions and losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year or other relevant period. If some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of deductions and losses according to Section 10.3 the limitation contained in this Section 10.4 must be applied on a Member-by-Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible deductions and losses to each Member.

SECTION 10.5 Special Allocations. The following special allocations must be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g), notwithstanding anything else in this Article X, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, the Company must allocate to each Member, items of Company income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum

-36-

Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)). Allocations under the previous sentence must be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member under that sentence. The items to be so allocated must be determined according to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). The parties intend this Section 10.5(a) to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), which must govern its interpretation.

(b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding anything else in this Article X, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, the Company must specially allocate to each Member who shares the Member Minimum Gain attributable to that Member Nonrecourse Debt (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5)), items of Company income and gain for that relevant period (and, if necessary, subsequent relevant periods) in an amount equal to that Person’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to that Member Nonrecourse Debt (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). Allocations under the previous sentence must be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member under that sentence. The items to be so allocated must be determined according to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). The parties intend this Section 10.5(b) to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), which must govern its interpretation.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or Distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), the Company must specially allocate items of Company income and gain to each of those Members in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficits of each of those Members as quickly as possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an allocation under this Section 10.5(c) must be made if and only to the extent that each of those Persons would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations in this Article X have been tentatively made as if this Section 10.5(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, or are deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 10.5(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Article X have been made as if Section 10.5(c) and this Section 10.5(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. The Company will specially allocate any Nonrecourse Deductions for each Fiscal Year to the Members in proportion to their respective Membership Interests.

-37-

(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. The Company will specially allocate any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year to the Members holding the Membership Interest of each Member to the extent such Member bears the economic risk of loss on the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which those Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(g) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) requires the Company to take into account in determining Capital Accounts an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Assets under Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) because of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s Membership Interest, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts must be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases that basis). The amount of that gain or loss must be specially allocated to the Members:

(i) according to their interests in the Company if Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, and

(ii) to the Member to whom the distribution was made if Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(h) Curative Allocations. The parties to this Agreement have included the allocations contained in Sections 10.4, 10.5(a), 10.5(b), 10.5(c), 10.5(d), 10.5(e), 10.5(f), and 10.5(g) (each, a “Regulatory Allocation”) to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. The Members intend that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations will be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction according to this Section 10.5(h) . Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Company will make whatever offsetting special allocations of items of Company income, gain, loss, and deduction, in whatever manner the Company determines appropriate, so that, after making the offsetting allocations, each Member’s Capital Account balance equals the Capital Account balance the Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement. In exercising its discretion to determine the manner of making the offsetting allocations, the Company will take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 10.5(a) and Section 10.5(b) that, although not yet made, will likely offset other Regulatory Allocations already made under Section 10.5(e) and Section 10.5(f).

SECTION 10.6 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) When determining the items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocable to any relevant period, such items must be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Company using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations under that Code section.

(b) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article X and agree to be bound to the provisions of this Article X in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

-38-

(c) The proportionate share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) shall be determined based on the Membership Interests.

(d) To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Company must endeavor to treat Distributable Cash as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent those Distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member.

SECTION 10.7 Tax Allocations and Certain Elections.

(a) Elections Affecting Section 704(c) Allocations. The Company will, and will cause the other Company Group Partnerships to, (i) elect to use the remedial allocation method under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) as to all of their assets that are subject to Section 704(c) of the Code or reverse Section 704(c) allocations within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(a)(6) and (ii) to the extent possible, make elections with respect to recovery periods and depreciation (or other cost recovery) methods pursuant to the final sentence of Treas. Reg. 1.704-3(d)(2) and, if applicable, under Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code, to avoid any increase in tax depreciation (net of remedial income) allocated to OGE Sub or ETP Sub, as the case may be, from the Company relative to that which it and its Affiliates would otherwise receive in the absence of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement from the assets contributed to the Company by OGE Sub or ETP Sub, as the case may be, and excluding any such assets deemed purchased by the Company for federal income tax purposes.

(b) Tax Allocation Decisions. The Members delegate to the Tax Matters Member or any officer designated by the Tax Matters Member the discretion to make or fail to make any elections or other decisions concerning the allocations under this Section 10.7 in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement; subject, however, to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.7(c). Allocations made under this Section 10.7 are made solely for federal, state, and local tax purposes and may not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction or Distributions under this Agreement.

(c) Formation Distribution. On the Effective Date, the Company shall distribute $266 million in cash to OGE Sub, of which amount (i) $4.3 million shall be treated as a reimbursement to OGE Sub for certain costs incurred by OGE Sub or its Affiliate in connection with a predecessor initial public offering transaction with respect to Enogex that was not consummated and (ii) $261.7 million shall be treated as a reimbursement to OGE Sub for certain preformation expenditures qualifying under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d). OGE Sub’s Capital Account will be reduced by the aggregate amount of such distribution. In addition, the Capital Accounts of the Members will be properly adjusted for other payments and liabilities constituting reimbursements of preformation expenditures (as agreed by the Parties prior to Closing) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d).

SECTION 11.3 Capital Accounts.

(a) There shall be established for each Member on the books of the Company as of the date hereof, or such later date on which such Member is admitted to the Company, a capital account (each being a “Capital Account”). No Member shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in the Member’s Capital Account, whether to the Company, any Member or any other Person. A deficit balance in any Member’s Capital Account shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Member (or of such Member’s members, shareholders or partners) or an asset or property of the Company (or any Member). No Member shall be entitled to withdraw all or any part of its Capital Contributions except as expressly provided in this Agreement. No interest shall be payable by the Company on the Capital Contributions of any Member. Each Member’s Capital Account (a) shall be increased by (i) the amount of money contributed by such Member to the Company, (ii) the fair market value of property contributed by such Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752) and (iii) allocations to such Member of items of income and gain and (b) shall be decreased by (i) the amount of

-42-

money distributed to such Member by the Company, (ii) the Carrying Value of property distributed to such Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752) and (iii) allocations to such Member of items of loss and deduction. The Capital Accounts shall also be increased or decreased to reflect a revaluation of Company property pursuant to the definition of Carrying Value. On the transfer of all or part of a Member’s Membership Interest, the Capital Account of the transferor that is attributable to the transferred interest shall carry over to the transferee Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l). The Company shall maintain the Capital Accounts of the Members in a manner consistent with the principles and requirements set forth in Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction which is to be allocated pursuant to Article X and is to be reflected in the Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes, provided, that:

(i) Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax shall be added to taxable income or loss.

(ii) Any expenses of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenses pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) shall be subtracted from that taxable income or loss.

(iii) If any Company Asset has its Carrying Value adjusted, there shall be added to or subtracted from taxable income or loss the amount of the aggregate net adjustment made to the Carrying Value.

(iv) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company Assets regarding which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes must be computed by reference to the Carrying Value of the Company Assets disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of the Company Assets differs from its Carrying Value.

(v) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing taxable income or loss, there must be taken into account Depreciation on all Company Assets for the period.

(vi) To the extent Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) requires any adjustments under Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Asset to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a Distribution other than in complete liquidation of a Member’s Membership Interest, the amount of that adjustment must be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset) from the disposition of the asset.

(a) upon the Members’ Unanimous Consent in writing to dissolve the Company; or

(b) the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, except that the Company shall not be dissolved upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company if, within 90 calendar days after the occurrence of such Dissolution Event, any remaining Members consent to the continuation of the Company.

SECTION 12.2 Winding-Up. When the Company is dissolved, the business and property of the Company shall be wound up and liquidated by such party appointed by the Management Council (the party conducting the liquidation being hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidator”), which party shall not receive any fee from the Company for acting as Liquidator hereunder.

ARTICLE XIII

TRANSFER OF INTERESTS; ADMISSION OF MEMBERS; WITHDRAWAL

SECTION 13.1 General Restrictions on Membership Interests.

(a) No Member may Transfer all or any part of its Membership Interests (“Subject Interests”) to any Person, unless the action is in accordance with this Article XIII.

(b) For purposes of this Article XIII, if any wholly-owned Affiliate controlled by a Person that is or has been a Member directly or indirectly holds Subject Interests, then the Subject Interests held by such wholly-owned Affiliate will be aggregated with the Subject Interests, if any, held by such current or former Member, as well as any other wholly-owned Affiliate thereof.

SECTION 13.2 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) No Member may Transfer any Subject Interests prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date. On or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, any Member may Transfer its Subject Interests subject to the provisions of this Article XIII.

(b) The Company may not Transfer any of its ownership interests in its Subsidiaries without a Super-Majority Management Council Vote.

(c) No Transfer of Subject Interests in violation of this Article XIII shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company and any such purported Transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

(d) Except for Transferees with respect to Transfers made in accordance with Section 13.3, to the extent provided in Section 13.14(a), or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) no Transferee shall have the right to become a Substituted Member and (ii) unless and until a Transferee is admitted as a Substituted Member, (A) such Transferee shall have no right to exercise any of the powers, rights and privileges of a Member hereunder other than to receive its share of allocations and distributions pursuant to this Agreement and (B) the Member (the “Transferring Member”) who has Transferred all or any part of its Subject Interests (the “Transferred Subject Interests”) to such Transferee shall cease, upon such Transfer, to be a Member with respect to the Transferred Subject Interests and shall have no further powers, rights and privileges as a Member hereunder with respect to the Transferred Subject Interests; provided, however, that unless and until otherwise relieved of such obligations, the Transferring Member shall remain liable for all obligations and duties as a Member with respect to the Transferred Subject Interests; provided further, that if the Transferee reconveys the Transferred Subject Interests to the Transferring Member within ten days after the Transferring Member becomes aware that the Transferee will not become a Substituted Member, the Transferring Member shall once again be entitled to all of the powers, rights and privileges of a Member hereunder.

-45-

(e) The Company may, in its reasonable discretion, charge a Transferring Member a reasonable fee to cover administrative expenses necessary to effect a Transfer with respect to any Transferred Subject Interests.

(f) In the absence of a Transferee becoming a Substituted Member for a Transferring Member, any payment by the Company to the Transferring Member shall acquit the Company and the Members of any and all liability to any other Person who may be interested in such payment by reason of a Transfer by such Transferring Member.

(g) A Member may effect or be the subject of a Transfer or a Change in Control (or take any other action) that would result in a termination of the Company for purposes of Section 708 of the Code only if the Member meets the requirements of this Section 13.2(g) and otherwise complies with the applicable provisions of this Article XIII. Prior to such Transfer, Change in Control or other action, the Member must offer to pay to each other Member prior to such Transfer, Change in Control or other action an amount in cash (the “Make-Whole Amount”) that is necessary to hold such other Member harmless against any deferral of state or federal income tax depreciation or other increase in liability for such tax (including any change in the present value of such liability) that such termination would cause. For purposes of calculating the Make-Whole Amount, such other Member will be treated as if it is a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. In the case of any Transfer to which this Section 13.2(g) applies, the Make-Whole Amount for each Member entitled to be paid such Make-Whole Amount will be computed on a net present value basis using: (i) the Agreed Rate in effect on the date of payment and (ii) the highest marginal applicable state and federal corporate income tax rates for the year of payment. Using those same highest marginal rates, the amount that is determined pursuant to the preceding sentence will be grossed up such that the increased amount (reduced by the state and federal income taxes that are deemed paid by reason of the receipt thereof) is equal to the amount that is determined pursuant to the preceding sentence. If the applicable state income tax is deductible for federal income tax purposes, effect will be given to such deduction in calculating the Make-Whole Amount. Each Member may accept this payment or, at its sole option, receive full indemnity on an after-tax basis from the Member effecting the Transfer, Change in Control or other action for all state and federal income tax impacts relating to such Member and directly resulting from the Section 708 termination.

(h) Neither the Company nor any Member shall be bound or otherwise affected by any Transfer of Subject Interests for which the Company or such Member has not received the Transfer Document under Section 13.12.

SECTION 13.3 Transfers to Wholly-Owned Affiliates. Any Member may Transfer all or a portion of its Subject Interests to a wholly-owned Affiliate so long as such Transfer otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 13.2); provided, however, that (a) any Transfer of such Subject Interests by such wholly-owned Affiliate shall be subject to the requirements of this Article XIII; and (b) if any wholly-owned Affiliate controlled by a Person that is or has been a Member directly or indirectly holds Subject Interests, then any transaction (whether a stock or equity sale, merger, consolidation, share exchange, recapitalization, sale of assets or otherwise) that results in such wholly-owned Affiliate no longer being a wholly-owned Affiliate of such Member shall be deemed to be a Change in Control of such Member that must comply with this Article XIII.

-46-

SECTION 13.4 Right of First Offer.

(a) Subject to Sections 13.1 and 13.2, if a Member (the “ROFO Seller”) wishes to solicit proposals from third parties to acquire all or a portion of the ROFO Seller’s Subject Interests (the “ROFO Interests”), the ROFO Seller must first notify the other Members (the “ROFO Non-Selling Members”) in writing (the “ROFO Notice”) of its desire to Transfer such ROFO Interests. The ROFO Notice must include (i) a description of the ROFO Interests and (ii) a request for the ROFO Non-Selling Members to specify the purchase price and other terms and condition on which the ROFO Non-Selling Members would purchase the ROFO Interests.

(b) Within 20 days after receiving the ROFO Notice, subject to any extensions permitted by Section 13.4(f) , one or more ROFO Non-Selling Members (the “ROFO Accepting Members”) may elect in writing (the “ROFO Offer Notice”) to purchase all, but not less than all, the ROFO Interests and specify in such ROFO Offer Notice the purchase price and other terms and condition on which the ROFO Accepting Members are willing to purchase the ROFO Interests (the “ROFO Price”). If the ROFO Accepting Members offer to purchase the ROFO Interests, the ROFO Seller will have 20 days from the date it received the ROFO Offer Notice to elect in writing (the “ROFO Acceptance Notice”) to accept the ROFO Accepting Members’ offer to purchase the ROFO Interests.

(c) If the ROFO Seller accepts the ROFO Non-Selling Members’ offer, the ROFO Accepting Members must purchase the ROFO Interests within 90 days after receiving the ROFO Acceptance Notice. If the ROFO Seller does not accept the ROFO Accepting Members’ offer or fails to make such election within 20 days after receiving the ROFO Offer Notice, the ROFO Seller may, during the next 120 days, Transfer the ROFO Interests to a third party Transferee at a purchase price not less than 103% of the highest offered ROFO Price and on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice.

(d) If more than one ROFO Accepting Member submits a ROFO Offer Notice, and the ROFO Seller decides to accept any of such ROFO Offer Notices, then the ROFO Seller shall be obligated to accept such ROFO Offer Notice containing the highest offered ROFO Price, in which case each ROFO Accepting Member shall be allocated a number of ROFO Interests equal to the aggregate number of ROFO Interests multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Membership Interests held by such ROFO Accepting Member and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Membership Interests held by all ROFO Accepting Members, or in such proportion as such ROFO Accepting Members shall otherwise agree.

(e) Upon consummation of any Transfer of Membership Interests in accordance with this Section 13.4 (whether to a Member or any Person) and compliance with Section 13.12, such Transferee and all of its Membership Interests shall automatically become a party to and be bound by this Agreement and shall thereafter have all of the rights and obligations of a Member hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Transfers pursuant to this Section 13.4 must also comply with and be governed by this Agreement, including any restrictions on transfers herein and on any Transferee becoming a Substituted Member.

-47-

(f) In connection with the ROFO Non-Selling Members’ decision regarding whether to exercise the option to purchase the ROFO Interests as described herein, the ROFO Non-Selling Members may elect to engage a Valuation Firm to determine the current fair market value of the ROFO Interests. The Valuation Firm shall then, within 10 days of its selection, determine in good faith the then current fair market value in cash of the ROFO Interests and prepare and deliver to each Member a report stating such fair market value and including a summary of the assumptions and basis for such determination. The cost of such report shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.4 to the contrary, if the ROFO Non-Selling Members elect to engage a Valuation Firm pursuant to this Section 13.4(f), the period of time in which the ROFO Non-Selling Member must make a ROFR Offer Notice shall be extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days in the period starting from the delivery of the ROFO Notice and ending on the date on which the Members receive the Valuation Firm report.

SECTION 13.5 Right of First Refusal.

(a) Subject to Sections 13.1 and 13.2, if (i) a Member (such Member and any other Member deemed to have made a Transfer under Sections 13.6 or 13.7, a “ROFR Seller”) receives a bona fide offer from a third party for a Transfer of all or a portion of the ROFR Seller’s Subject Interests (the “ROFR Interests”), and the ROFR Seller wishes to accept such offer, and (ii) the right of first offer process described in Section 13.4 has not been followed with respect to such offer, the ROFR Seller must notify the other Members (the “ROFR Non-Selling Members”) in writing within 20 days of receiving such offer (the “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice must include (x) a complete description of the purchase price and other terms and conditions of the transaction in which the ROFR Seller proposes to Transfer the ROFR Interests, including the name of the proposed Transferee and other consideration specified in the offer. The ROFR Non-Selling Members shall have, subject to any extensions permitted pursuant to Section 13.5(e), 20 days (the “ROFR Option Period”) after receiving the ROFR Notice in which to advise the ROFR Seller in writing (the “ROFR Acceptance Notice”) whether or not they will acquire all of the ROFR Interests upon the terms and conditions contained in the ROFR Notice.

(b) If, during the ROFR Option Period, one or more ROFR Non-Selling Members (the “ROFR Accepting Members”) elect to acquire the ROFR Interests at the price and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFR Notice, then (i) each ROFR Accepting Member shall be allocated a number of ROFR Interests equal to (A) the aggregate number of ROFR Interests multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Membership Interests held by such ROFR Accepting Member and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Membership Interests held by all ROFR Accepting Members, or in such proportion as such ROFR Accepting Members shall otherwise agree, and (ii) such ROFR Accepting Member or Members shall close such transaction in accordance with this Section 13.5(b) no later than the later to occur of (A) the closing date set forth in the ROFR Notice and (B) 90 days after the ROFR Seller receives the ROFR Acceptance Notice.

(c) The right of first refusal created in this Section 13.5 is an option to acquire all, but not less than all, of the ROFR Interests offered for sale by the ROFR Seller. If the ROFR Non-Selling Members elect not to acquire the ROFR Interests or the ROFR Non-Selling Members fail to make any election before the expiration of the ROFR Option Period, the ROFR

-48-

Seller may Transfer the ROFR Interests to the proposed Transferee named in the ROFR Notice (or a wholly-owned Affiliate thereof, provided that such Transferee executes a document acceptable to the Company by which it agrees to be bound by Section 15.22 hereof in respect of such wholly-owned Affiliate) upon the terms described in such ROFR Notice. If such Transfer does not occur on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in such ROFR Notice, or if such Transfer is not consummated within 120 days after the ROFR Non-Selling Members’ election not to, or failure to elect to, purchase the ROFR Interests, then such Transfer shall be null and void ab initio and the ROFR Seller must again satisfy all of the requirements of this Section 13.5.

(d) Upon consummation of any Transfer of Membership Interests in accordance with this Section 13.5 (whether to a Member or any other Person) and compliance with Section 13.12, such Transferee and all of its Membership Interests shall automatically become a party to and be bound by this Agreement and shall thereafter have all of the rights and obligations of a Member hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Transfers pursuant to this Section 13.5 must also comply with and be governed by this Agreement, including any restrictions on transfers herein and on any Transferee becoming a Substituted Member.

(e) In connection with the ROFR Non-Selling Members’ decision regarding whether to exercise the option to purchase the ROFR Interests as described herein, the ROFR Non-Selling Members may elect to engage (or, in the case of a proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 13.6(a) or Section 13.7, the Non-Selling Members and the ROFR Seller shall engage) a Valuation Firm to determine the current Fair Market Value of the ROFR Interests. If the proposed Transfer is pursuant to Section 13.6(a) or Section 13.7, then the ROFR Non-Selling Members and the ROFR Seller shall enter into good faith discussions to jointly select a Valuation Firm. If the ROFR Non-Selling Members and the ROFR Seller are unable to agree on the selection of a Valuation Firm within 10 days after delivery of the ROFR Notice, then (x) the ROFR Non-Selling Members, on one hand, and the ROFR Seller, on the other hand, shall each select a Valuation Firm to advise them in connection with such valuation within 15 days after the delivery of the ROFR Notice, and (y) the Valuation Firms selected by the ROFR Non-Selling Members and the ROFR Seller, respectively, shall agree on and select a third Valuation Firm within 20 days after the delivery of the ROFR Notice, which Valuation Firm shall be the “Valuation Firm” for the purposes of this Section 13.5(e). The Valuation Firm that is selected in accordance with procedures set forth in this Section 13.5(e) shall then, within 10 days of its selection, determine in good faith the then current Fair Market Value in cash of the ROFR Interests and prepare and deliver to each Member a report stating such Fair Market Value and including a summary of the assumptions and basis for such determination. The cost of such report shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.5 to the contrary, if a Valuation Firm is engaged pursuant to this Section 13.5(e), the ROFR Option Period shall be extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days in the period starting from the delivery of the ROFR Notice and ending on the date on which the Members receive the Valuation Firm report.

SECTION 13.6 Pledge or Other Encumbrance. A Member (the “Encumbering Member”) may pledge or mortgage all or a portion of its Membership Interests; provided, however, that if a creditor or trustee-in-bankruptcy forecloses on all or any portion of the Membership Interests of an Encumbering Member by a legal or equitable proceeding, such

-49-

Encumbering Member shall be obligated to notify the other Members in writing (and such notice shall be the ROFR Notice) and the foreclosure shall be deemed to be a proposed Transfer of all such Interests. Such Interests shall be deemed ROFR Interests offered to the other Members under Section 13.5 at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Interests, and if such offer is accepted pursuant to Section 13.5, then such Encumbering Member shall be obligated to Transfer such Membership Interests in accordance with Section 13.5 and this Section 13.6.

SECTION 13.7 Change in Control. If a Member (a) undergoes a Change in Control (provided, however, that in the case of a Change of Control described in clause a(ii), a(iii), (b)(ii), (b)(iii), (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) of the definition thereof, this provision shall be triggered thereby only if such Change of Control occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date), (b) is dissolved and wound up, or (c) becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, the affected Member shall be obligated to notify the other Members in writing (and such notice shall be deemed to be the ROFR Notice) and all of the Subject Interests owned by such Member shall be deemed to be the subject of a proposed Transfer and, therefore, ROFR Interests offered to other Members under Section 13.5 at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Subject Interests, and such affected Member shall be obligated to Transfer its Subject Interests in accordance with Section 13.5 and this Section 13.7.

SECTION 13.8 Fair Market Value. Whenever the Fair Market Value of any Subject Interests is determined as a result of a deemed Transfer under Sections 13.6 or 13.7, the Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the occurrence of such Encumbrance, foreclosure, Change in Control, dissolution or bankruptcy, as applicable, that is deemed a Transfer (the “Determination Date”); provided, however, that for purposes of determining the purchase price for the Subject Interests, the Fair Market Value shall be reduced by any distributions made to the Transferring Member attributable to the Subject Interests, and increased by any Capital Contributions made by the Transferring Member attributable to the Subject Interests, occurring during the time period between the Determination Date and the closing of the Transfer contemplated by Sections 13.6 and 13.7.

SECTION 13.9 Applicable Taxes. At the closing of the Transfer of a Membership Interest pursuant to this Article XIII, the Transferee shall deliver to the Transferring Member the full consideration agreed upon. Any membership interest transfer tax or similar taxes involved in such sale shall be paid by the Transferring Member, and the Transferring Member shall provide the Transferee with such evidence of the Transferring Member’s authority to Transfer hereunder and such tax lien waivers and similar instruments as the Transferee may reasonably request.

SECTION 13.10 Governmental Consents and Approvals. If the consent or approval of any Governmental Entity is required with respect to any Transfer, the Transferee shall have a reasonable amount of time (not to exceed 60 days from the latest date upon which such Transfer could have otherwise been required to have been consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) (the “Waiting Period”) to obtain such consent or approval, and any applicable deadline under this Agreement for consummation of such Transfer shall be extended by the amount of the Waiting Period. All Members shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Transferee attempting to obtain, and to assist such Transferee in timely obtaining, such consent

-50-

or approval; provided, however, that no Member shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs or additional liability in connection with such cooperation and assistance. After the expiration of the Waiting Period, such Transferee shall be required to comply with the applicable provisions of this Article XIII again prior to acquiring any Subject Interests.

SECTION 13.11 No Release. No Transfer of a Membership Interest shall affect a release of the Transferring Member from any liabilities or obligations to the Company or the other Members that accrued prior to the Transfer.

SECTION 13.12 Documentation; Validity of Transfer. The Company shall not recognize for any purpose any purported Transfer of all or any part of a Member’s Subject Interests unless and until the applicable provisions of this Article XIII have been satisfied and the Company has received a document (the “Transfer Document”), in a form acceptable to the Company, executed by both the Transferring Member (or, if the Transfer is on account of the death, incapacity, or liquidation of the Member, its representative) and the potential Transferee. Such Transfer Document shall (a) include the notice address of the potential Transferee and such Person’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement with respect to the Subject Interests or part thereof being obtained, (b) set forth the Subject Interests, after giving effect to the Transfer, of the Transferring Member and the Person to which the Subject Interests or part thereof is Transferred (which together must total the Subject Interests of the Transferring Member before the Transfer), (c) contain a representation and warranty that the Transfer was made in accordance with all Laws (including state and federal securities Laws) and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (d) include a legally binding agreement of the Transferee to be bound by this Agreement from and after the date such Transferee becomes a Member and (e) if the Person to which the Subject Interests or part thereof is Transferred is to be admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member, such Transferee’s representation and warranty that the representations and warranties in Section 15.12 are true and correct with respect to such Person. Each Transfer and, if applicable, admission complying with the provisions of this Article XIII is effective against the Company as of the business day that (x) the Company receives the Transfer Document and (y) the other requirements of this Article XIII have been met.

SECTION 13.13 Possible Additional Restrictions on Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of (a) the enactment (or imminent enactment) of any legislation, (b) the publication of any temporary or final Treasury Regulation, (c) any ruling by the Internal Revenue Service or (d) any judicial decision that, in any case, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, would result in the taxation of the Company for federal income tax purposes as a corporation or otherwise subject the Company to being taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes, this Agreement shall be deemed to impose such restrictions on the Transfer of Subject Interests as may be required, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, to prevent the Company from being taxed as a corporation or otherwise being taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes, and the Members thereafter shall amend this Agreement as necessary or appropriate to impose such restrictions.

SECTION 13.14 Additional Members; Substituted Members.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, additional Persons, including Transferees, may be admitted to the Company as Members or Substituted Members as

-51-

provided under the terms of this Section 13.14. Any admission of an additional Member (including a new Member for new value provided to the Company) involving the issuance of additional Membership Interests requires the Unanimous Consent of the Members. Any Transferee with respect to a Transfer of Membership Interests made in accordance with Sections 13.3, 13.4 or 13.5 shall be admitted automatically as a Substitute Member upon compliance with Sections 13.12, 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 and Section 13.4 or 13.5 with respect to such Transfer, but without the consent or approval of any other Person; provided, however, that any Transferee that is not already a Member at the time of the Transfer and acquires Membership Interests by foreclosure shall not be admitted as a Substituted Member without the Unanimous Consent of the Members.

(b) If the admission of any new Member (other than a Substituted Member) pursuant to this Section 13.14 occurs, the Membership Interests of all Members will be reduced in accordance with their Membership Interests prior to giving effect to such admission.

(c) Upon becoming a Substituted Member, (i) such Substituted Member shall have all of the powers, rights, privileges, duties, obligations and liabilities of a Member, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent of the Transferred Membership Interests and (ii) the Transferring Member shall be relieved of all of obligations and liabilities with respect to such Transferred Membership Interests; provided, however, that any Transferee that is not already a Member at the time of the Transfer and acquires Membership Interests by foreclosure shall not be admitted as a Substituted Member without the Unanimous Consent of the Members.

(d) The Members acknowledge that the relationship of each Member to the other Members is a personal relationship and that the restrictions on the power of each Member to Transfer its Membership Interests, and the remedies with respect thereto, that are set forth herein (i) are necessary to preserve such personal relationship and safeguard the investment of the other Members in the Company, (ii) were a material inducement to the other Members entering into this Agreement, and (iii) shall be enforceable notwithstanding the bankruptcy of any Member or any applicable prohibition against restraints on alienation.

(e) Unless and until admitted as a Substitute Member, a transferee of a Membership Interest shall be an assignee with respect to the Transferred Membership Interest and shall not be entitled to participate in the management of the business and affairs of the Company or to become, or to exercise the rights of, a Member, including the right to appoint Directors or Management Council Members, the right to vote, the right to require any information or accounting of the Company’s business, the rights under Section 13.4 or 13.5, or the right to inspect the Company’s books and records; provided, however, that the transferee shall be entitled to the rights of a Member set forth in Section 15.10 and to the share of Net Income, Net Losses, distributions and other economic benefits attributable to the Membership Interest Transferred to such transferee.

SECTION 13.15 Withdrawal. No Member shall have the right to resign or otherwise withdraw from the Company as a Member.
