not withhold from actual distributions any amounts it was required to withhold by applicable tax laws, the Company may, at its option, (i) require the Member to which the withholding was credited to reimburse the Company for withholding required by such laws, including any interest, penalties or additions thereto; or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions to such Member by such withholding, interest, penalties or additions thereto. The obligation of a Member to reimburse the Company for such amounts shall continue after such Member transfers or liquidates its interest in the Company.

The Percentage Interests held by a Class shall be rounded to the nearest 10% for purposes of determining Manager representation of a Class. A determination of any change in Board representation shall require an election be held prior to the Board taking any further action other than to call for the election of Managers in accordance with the new distribution of Manager representation.

Except as specifically permitted in this Agreement, each Manager shall have only one vote.

Such consent may be executed by facsimile and may be executed in counterparts.

(f) When any Notice is required to be given to any Manager hereunder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the Manager, whether before, at or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such Notice.

ARTICLE 7.

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

7.1

Liability of Members and Managers.

(a) A Member shall only be liable to make the payment of the Member’s initial Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.1 and the additional Capital Contributions, if any, required by Section 3.2 hereof. No Member or Manager shall be liable for any obligations of the Company or any other Member or Manager, unless personally guaranteed by the Member or Manager pursuant to a separate document.

(b) No Member, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Act, shall be obligated to pay any distribution to or for the account of the Company or any creditor of the Company.

7.2

Indemnification.

(a) The Members, the Managers, any officers of the Company appointed by the Managers, and their Affiliates, and their respective stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, partners, agents and employees (individually and collectively, an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each a “Claim”), in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise by reason of such Indemnitee’s status as any of the foregoing, which relates to or arises out of the Company, its assets, business or affairs, if in each of the foregoing cases (i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful and (ii) the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, and no Manager or Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

(b) In the event that an amendment to this Agreement reduces or eliminates any Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7, such amendment shall not be effective with respect to any Indemnitee’s right to indemnification that accrued prior to the date of such amendment. For purposes of this subsection (b), a right to indemnification shall accrue as of the date of the event underlying the Claim that gives rise to such right to indemnification.

(c) All calculations of Claims and the amount of indemnification to which any Indemnitee is entitled under this Article 7 shall be made (i) giving effect to the tax consequences of any such Claim and (ii) after deduction of all proceeds of insurance net of retroactive premiums and self-insurance retention recoverable by the Indemnitee with respect to such Claims.

-13-

7.3

Expenses.

Expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding described in Section 7.2 may, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, in the discretion of the Managers, upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article 7.

7.4

Non-Exclusivity.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article 7 shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, the Act, the Articles, this Agreement, any other agreement, a vote of Members, a policy of insurance or otherwise, and shall not limit in any way any right which the Company may have to make additional indemnifications with respect to the same or different Persons or classes of Persons, as determined by the Managers. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article 7 shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a named Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of such a Person.

7.5

Insurance.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in such capacity, or arising out of their status as Indemnitees, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under this Article 7.

7.6

Duties.

(a) An authorized officer, Member or Manager shall discharge his, her or its duties hereunder in good faith, with the care a corporate officer of like position would exercise under similar circumstances, in the manner he, she or it reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company, and shall not be liable for any such action so taken or any failure to take such action, if he, she or it performs such duties in compliance with this subsection (a).

(b) Every Member or Manager, if any, shall account to the Company and hold as trustee for it any profit or benefit derived by such Person without the informed consent of more than one-half by number of disinterested Managers or Members from any transaction connected with the conduct of the business and affairs or the winding up of the Company, or from any personal use by such Person of the Property, including confidential or proprietary information of the Company or other matters entrusted to him, her or it as a result of his, her or its status as Manager or Member.

ARTICLE 8.

TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS; WITHDRAWAL; EXPULSION;

PURCHASE OF A MEMBER’S INTEREST; BUY-SELL AGREEMENT; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

8.1

General Restrictions.

(a) No Member may Transfer all or any part of such Member’s Interest, except as provided in this Article 8. Any purported Transfer of an Interest or a portion thereof in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect. If the Managers determine in their sole discretion that any Transfer will result in a termination of the Company under Code § 708(b)(1)(B), then the Managers may deem such Transfer shall to be null and void. A permitted Transfer shall be effective as of the date specified in the instruments relating thereto. Any transferee desiring to make a further Transfer shall become subject to all the provisions of this Article 8 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make any Transfer.

(b) No Member shall have the right to withdraw voluntarily from the Company as a Member, except upon ninety (90) days’ Notice to the Board and with the consent of the Board. Payment, if any, to any Member who voluntarily withdraws in accordance with this Section 8.1(b) shall be made in accordance with Section 8.6. In the event a Member voluntarily withdraws from the Company in violation of this Agreement, such Member (the “Member in Violation”) shall not be entitled to receive back his, her or its Capital Contribution and shall not be entitled to receive any other type or form of payment from the Company; instead, such Member in Violation shall have the status of an Assignee (and shall remain liable for any unpaid Capital Contributions or any required additional Capital Contributions) of an Interest.

(c) All voting rights shall be forfeited with respect to all or any part of an Interest which is Transferred other than to a transferee who becomes a substitute Member (in accordance with Section 8.3), whether such Transfer is voluntary or involuntary, by order of a court or by operation of law.

(e) In the event that an Assignee exists, the voting percentages of all the Members (other than the Member who has withdrawn from the Company as a Member or has Transferred his, her or its Interest) shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to equal in the aggregate 100%, until such time as the Assignee of the Interest is admitted as a substitute Member pursuant to Section 8.3, at which time, the voting percentages shall then be adjusted again on a pro rata basis to equal in the aggregate 100%, taking into account such substitute Member’s Interest. An Assignee has only those rights described in the definition of “Assignee” in Section 2.1.

(f) If a Member who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction judges the Member to be incompetent to manage his or her person or property, then the Member’s executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or other legal representative shall automatically become an Assignee of such Member’s Interest.

(g) The Company, each Member and any other Person having business with the Company need deal only with the Members who are admitted as Members or as substitute Members, and they shall not be required to deal with any other Person by reason of Transfer of an Interest by a Member or by reason of the death of a Member, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the absence of the substitution (as provided in Section 8.3) of a Member for a Transferring or a deceased Member, any payment to a Member or to a Member’s executors or administrators shall acquit the Company of all liability to any other Person who may be interested in such payment by reason of a Transfer by, or the death of, such Member.

-15-

8.2

Permitted Transfers.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.2, each Member shall have the right to Transfer (but not to substitute the transferee as a substitute Member in such Member’s place, except in accordance with Section 8.3), by a written instrument, all or any part of such Member’s Interest, if, and only if (i) the Managers have consented in writing to such Transfer, or (ii) the Transfer is to a Permitted Assignee, or (iii) the Member complies with the rights and options set forth in Sections 8.7 through 8.9.

(b) Unless and until admitted as a substitute Member pursuant to Section 8.3, a transferee of a Member’s Interest in whole or in part shall be an Assignee with respect to such Transferred Interest.

(c) Upon the death of a Member (or upon the death of the grantor of a trust which is a Member) all or any portion of such Member’s Interest may be Transferred by the terms of the trust that is the Member, or by will, or by the terms of a trust created during the life of a Member (or during the life of the grantor of a Member), or by any other non-probate Transfer document executed by the Member during such Member’s life, to one or more Permitted Assignees.

(d) If any Interest is Transferred by operation of law, other than by reason of a Transfer permitted by Section 8.2(c) above, to any Person other than to the Company or a Permitted Assignee (including, but not limited to, a property division in conjunction with a divorce proceeding, dissolution of marriage or legal separation, a Transfer to a Member’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a Transfer to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the Company, within ninety (90) days of the Company’s receipt of actual Notice of the Transfer may exercise an option to purchase the Assignee’s Interest at a purchase price equal to the Capital Contribution made with respect to such Interest, by giving Notice to the Assignee of its intention to purchase such Interest.

8.3

Substitute Members.

No transferee of all or part of a Member’s Interest shall become a substitute Member in place of the transferor unless and until:

(a) the transferee has executed an instrument accepting and adopting the terms and provisions of the Articles and this Agreement;

(b) the transferee has caused to be paid all reasonable expenses of the Company in connection with the admission of the transferee as a substitute Member; and

(c) the Board shall have consented (which consent may be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld) in writing to such transferee becoming a substitute Member.

The provisions of this Section 8.3 also apply to a transferee who is already a Member at the time of the Transfer. Upon satisfaction of all the foregoing conditions with respect to a particular transferee, the Managers shall cause the books and records of the Company to reflect the admission of the transferee as a substitute Member to the extent of the Transferred Interest held by the transferee.

8.4

Effect of Admission as a Substitute Member.

A transferee who has become a substitute Member has, to the extent of the Transferred Interest, all the rights, powers and benefits of and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under the Articles, this Agreement and the Act. Upon admission of a transferee as a substitute Member, the transferor of the Interest so acquired by the substitute Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company to the extent

-16-

of such Transferred Interest. The Board shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, to change the Class of any Transferred Interest at the time of admission of a substitute Member.

8.5

Additional Members.

After the formation of the Company, any Person acceptable to a Majority in Interest of the Managers may become an additional Member of the Company for such consideration as the Managers shall determine, provided that such additional Member complies with all the requirements of a transferee under Sections 8.3(a) and (b). Prior to the admission of an additional Member, the Managers may revalue the then

existing Capital Contributions in order to make the value of such existing Capital Contributions relative to the value of the consideration paid by the additional Member. No additional Member shall be entitled to any retroactive allocation of losses, income or expense deductions incurred by the Company. The Board shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, to admit an additional Member to any Class of Interest.

8.6

Purchase of a Member’s Interest.

(a) Upon an Event of Withdrawal, the Board (determined by excluding any Manager who is a withdrawing Member or was appointed by a single Member who is a withdrawing Member) may, but is not required to, elect to cause the Company to purchase such Member’s Interest as provided in this Section 8.6 by providing Notice to the withdrawing Member or such withdrawing Member’s successors or personal representative (the “Selling Member”). Such Notice shall be given to the Selling Member within ninety (90) days following the date of the Event of Withdrawal (the “Valuation Date”). The purchase price for any Interest to be purchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be the fair market value of such Interest as agreed to among the Members, including the Selling Member.

(b) If the Selling Member voluntarily withdrew from the Company and if the Members cannot agree upon a fair market value, then the Selling Member shall receive no payment and shall have the status of an Assignee with an Interest equal to the Percentage Interest that such Member had as a Member.

(c) If the Selling Member involuntarily withdrew from the Company and if the Selling Member and Managers cannot agree upon a fair market value, the value shall be determined by an appraiser (the “Appraiser”) agreed to by the Selling Member and Managers. If the Selling Member and Managers cannot agree as to an Appraiser, then the Managers shall select one appraiser, the Selling Member shall select one appraiser, and a third shall be selected by the first two appraisers chosen. The decision of a majority of the appraisers shall be binding on all the parties and such majority of the appraisers shall be deemed to be the “Appraiser” for purposes of this Section 8.6. The fair market value of the Interest to be purchased shall be equal to the amount, if any, that the Selling Member would receive if the Property (including the non-liquid assets, valued at their fair market value) were sold as of the Valuation Date, the Company was dissolved and the proceeds from the hypothetical sale of the Property as of the Valuation Date were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 9.3; provided, however, that the Managers shall estimate for purposes of such calculation the reasonable selling and liquidation expenses and, all Company debts, liabilities and obligations as of such date.

(d) Within fifteen (15) days after the fair market value of the assets is determined, the Managers shall give Notice to the Selling Member and the Board as to the purchase price of the Selling Member’s Interest. The Board shall then have the option (i) to not purchase the Selling Member’s Interest, in which event the Selling Member shall have the status of an Assignee of an Interest, or (ii) to have the Company purchase the Interest, and if so, shall promptly set the date on which the closing of the purchase shall occur (the “Closing Date”), which date shall not be less than ten (10) days or more than thirty (30) days from the date the Notice by the Managers is given. At the closing, the Selling Member shall execute and deliver to the Company such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to effect the Transfer, as of the Valuation Date, of all the Selling Member’s right, title and interest in the Company

-17-

and its Property. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Company and the Selling Member, the Company shall pay the purchase price to the Selling Member as follows:

(i) An amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the purchase price shall be paid to the Selling Member on the Closing Date by bank cashier’s or certified check.

(ii) The balance of the purchase price shall be: a) in the case of a Selling Member’s Interest that is 10% or less of the total Interests in the Company, paid within 90 days of the Closing Date without interest thereon and b) where such Selling Member’s Interest is greater than 10% of the total Interests in the Company evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of the Closing Date, from the Company to the Selling Member providing for principal to be payable in 20 consecutive equal quarterly installments, commencing three months from the Closing Date, and for accrued interest to be payable on each principal installment date. The interest rate payable on the unpaid balance of the promissory note shall be adjusted annually and for any given period shall be an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate in effect on the first banking day of such year plus two percent (2%). Such promissory note shall be secured by the Interest acquired and shall also be due and payable in full upon the commencement of distributions upon the liquidation of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The Company shall have the right to prepay the note, in whole or in part, from time to time, without penalty.

The purchase price shall be deemed a payment with respect to the Property under Section 736(b) of the Code (as defined in Schedule B hereto) to the extent of the Selling Member’s Capital Account balance, and the remainder shall be deemed a distributive share under Section 736(a) of the Code.

(e) The Company shall pay 33% and the Selling Member shall pay 67% of the fees and expenses of all appraisers engaged pursuant to this Section 8.6, but the cost thereof shall not be taken into account by the Appraiser in determining the purchase price of the Selling Member’s Interest.

(f) The Company, by action of the Managers, may assign its purchase rights hereunder to any Member or other Person.

8.7

Drag Along Rights

(a) In the event of an Approved Sale, each Member will (i) consent to and raise no objections against the Approved Sale or the process pursuant to which the Approved Sale was arranged and (ii) if the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of Interests, each Member will agree to sell his, her or its Interest on the terms and conditions of the Approved Sale. Each Member will take all necessary and desirable actions as directed by the Managers in connection with the consummation of any Approved Sale, including without limitation executing the applicable purchase agreement and granting indemnification rights; provided that any Member required to make indemnification payments in connection with any Approved Sale shall have a right to recover from the other Members to the extent that the amount required to be paid by such Member is disproportionate to the proportion of the total consideration received by all Members, compared to the consideration actually received by such Member.

(b) Each Member will bear his, her or its pro rata share (based upon the number of Interests sold) of the reasonable costs of any sale of Interests pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all selling Members and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring Person. Costs incurred by any Member on his, her or its own behalf will not be considered costs of the Approved Sale.

-18-

8.8

Purchase Terms Varied By Agreement.

Provided that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied, nothing contained herein is intended to prohibit the Members from agreeing upon other terms and conditions for the purchase by the Company or any other Member of the Interest (or any portion thereof) of any Member desiring to retire, withdraw or resign.

8.9

Expulsion.

A Super Majority in Interest of the Managers may expel any Member of the Company, provided that the Company exercises its right to purchase.

Upon an Event of Withdrawal of a Member or upon the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company, if within ninety (90) days after such event a Majority in Interest of the remaining Members and a vote of the Managers agree to dissolve the Company, the Company shall be dissolved.

9.4

In-Kind.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Managers shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Property would cause undue loss to the Members, or the Managers determine that it would be in the best interest of the Members to distribute the Property to the Members in-kind (which distributions do not, as to the in-kind portions, have to be in the same proportions as they would be if cash were distributed, but all such in-kind distributions shall be equalized, to the extent necessary, with cash), then the Managers may either defer liquidation of, and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time, any of the Property except that necessary to satisfy the Company’s debts and obligations, or distribute the Property to the Members in-kind.

Special Allocations.

4.1 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the amount of any Minimum Gain at the end of any taxable year is less than the amount of such Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable year, there shall be allocated to each Member gross income or gain (in respect of the current taxable year and any future taxable year) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain during such year in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). Such allocation of gross income and gain shall be made prior to any other allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure for such year. Any such allocation of gross income or gain pursuant to this Section

B-2

shall be taken into account, to the extent feasible, in computing subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company so that the net amount of all items allocated to each Member pursuant to this paragraph shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph if the allocations made pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph had not occurred. This provision is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.

4.2 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in Section 4.1 of this Schedule B, if there is a net decrease (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)) during a taxable year in Minimum Gain attributable to a non recourse debt of the Company for which any Member bears the economic risk of loss (as determined accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)), then any Member with a share of the Minimum Gain (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) attributable to such debt (determined at the beginning of such taxable year) shall be allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in the Minimum Gain attributable to such Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Any allocations of items of gross income or gain pursuant to this paragraph shall not duplicate any allocations of gross income or gain pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Schedule B and shall be taken into account, to the extent feasible, in computing subsequent allocations of the Company, so that the net amount of all items allocated to each Member pursuant to this paragraph shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph if the allocations made pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph had not occurred. This provision is intended to be a partner minimum gain chargeback as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.

4.3 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Schedule B, if any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that reduces any Member’s Capital Account below zero or increases the negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account (taking into account such Member’s deficit restoration obligation), gross income and gain shall be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account (taking into account such Member’s deficit restoration obligation) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Any such allocation of gross income or gain pursuant to this paragraph shall be in proportion with such negative Capital Accounts of the Members. Any allocations of items of gross income or gain pursuant to this paragraph shall not duplicate any allocations of gross income or gain made pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Schedule B and shall be taken into account, to the extent feasible, in computing subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, so that the net amount of all items allocated to each Member pursuant to this paragraph shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph if such adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred. This provision is intended to be a qualified income offset as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.

4.4 Any item of Company loss, deduction or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure that is attributable to a non recourse debt of the Company for which any Member bears the economic risk of loss (as determined in accordance with rules applicable to partnerships in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to such Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

4.5 In accordance with Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, if property is contributed to the Company and the fair market value of such property on the date of its contribution differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, any income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between

B-3

the adjusted tax basis to the Company of such property for federal income tax purposes and the fair market value of such property on the date of contribution to the Company. Such allocations shall be made using a reasonable method that is consistent with the purpose of Section 704(c) of the Code pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3.

Persons Entitled to Allocations.

With respect to any period in which a transferee of the interest of a Member is first entitled to a share of the Profits And Losses For Tax Purposes, the Company shall, with respect to such Profits And Losses For Tax Purposes, allocate such items among the Persons who were entitled to such items on a basis consistent with the provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

Tax Matter Member.

Until otherwise determined by a Majority in Interest, Ray-Carroll Grain Growers, Inc. is hereby designated as the Company’s “Tax Matters Member,” which shall have the same meaning as “tax matters partner” under the Code, and in such capacity is hereby authorized and empowered to act for and represent the Company and each of the Members before the Internal Revenue Service and any court with respect to any audit or examination of any Company tax return and before any court and to retain such experts (including, without limitation, outside counsel or accountants) as deemed necessary. The Tax Matters Member shall keep all Members fully informed of the progress of any examination of, audit of or other proceeding related to the affairs of the Company. Each Member and former Member agrees to cooperate with the Tax Matters Member and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the Members in connection with the conduct of such proceedings.

Negative Balance.

No Member with a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Company or any other Member to restore said negative balance to zero.
