(a) Ordinary Net Profits and Ordinary Net Losses, except as otherwise provided herein, including Sections 5.01(b), 5.04 and 5.05, or unless another allocation is required by Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code for the allocations to have “economic effect,” for purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts of the Members, for each Accounting Period, shall be allocated to and among all Members, pro rata, based on their respective Sharing Percentages.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.04 and 5.05, during each Fiscal Year in which a Class B Unit issued to Richard Goldberg and/or William Manning is outstanding, Net Profits from Interim Capital Transactions shall be allocated first to Richard Goldberg until such time as when the positive balance in his Capital Account for that Fiscal Year bears the same ratio to the sum of the Capital Accounts of all Members for that Fiscal Year, as his Sharing Percentage at the end of such year (“Equalization”). Thereafter, the Net Profits from Interim Capital Transactions shall be allocated to William Manning until such time as he reaches Equalization.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01(b), 5.04 and 5.05, Net Profits and Net Losses arising from, or attributable to, an Interim Capital Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any income or gain received or attributable to the TRA Right related to the Exchange) shall be allocated to and among all Members, pro rata, based on their respective Sharing Percentages.

(d) Allocations provided in this Section 5.01 shall take into account changes to the Sharing Percentages during the taxable year using the closing of books method or any other reasonable convention adopted by the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, in its sole discretion; in addition, with respect to an Accounting Period during which any Unit of the Company (that constitutes a “profits interest” for tax purposes) is issued to any Member in connection with performance of services, the Net Profits or Net Losses shall be allocated to such Member only with respect to periods beginning after the receipt of such Unit.

5.02 No Return of Distributions. No Member shall have any obligation to refund to the Company any amount that shall have been distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement unless required to do so by applicable law.

5.03 Deficit Capital Accounts.

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Members bearing the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the Economic Risk of Loss. This Section 5.04(b) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a Fiscal Year (or if there was a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior years to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.04(c), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). This Section 5.04(c) is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.04(c) (dealing with Minimum Gain), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a Fiscal Year (or if there was a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior years to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.04(d), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 5.04(d) is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Sections 5.04(c) and Section 5.04(d) (dealing with Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain), a Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for the Fiscal Year) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible. This Section 5.04(e) is intended to constitute a qualified income offset under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(f) In the event that any Member has a negative Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year, such Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.04(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a negative Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5.04 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.04(f) were not in this Agreement.

(g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company properties pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to any Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s Membership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) if such Section applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made if Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

5.05 Curative Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may be inconsistent with the manner in which the Members intend to divide Company distributions. Accordingly, the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, is authorized to divide other allocations of Profits, Losses and other items among the Members, to the extent that they exist, so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the Curative Allocations to each Member is zero. The Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, shall have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the related Treasury Regulations.

5.06 Income Tax Allocations. The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes among the Members in the same manner and amounts as allocations are made to the Members pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Agreement. If any Membership Interest is transferred, or is increased or decreased by reason of the admission of a new Member or otherwise, during any Accounting Period, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company for such Accounting Period allocable may be allocated based on any method consistent with Section 706(d) of the Code, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable.

5.07 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, for purposes of determining the Net Profits, Net Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Net Profits, Net Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(b) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to a Unit in the Company that is transferred in accordance with this Agreement shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee based on the portion of the calendar year during which each was recognized as the owner of such Unit, without regard to the results of Company operations during any particular portion of that calendar year and without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the transferor or the transferee during that calendar year; provided, however, that this allocation must be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 706 and the regulations thereunder.

(c) The Members’ proportionate shares of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be in the same proportions as the relative number of Units held thereby.

5.08 Code Section 704(c) Allocations.

(a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value computed in accordance with the definition of “Gross Asset Value” using such method as the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, shall select.

(b) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) Except otherwise provided herein, any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.08 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

5.09 Distributions Other Than in Liquidation of the Company. Subject to applicable Law and any limitations contained elsewhere in this Agreement, distributions from the Company shall be made at such times as the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, shall determine from time to time as set forth below:

(a) Distributions of Net Proceeds, other than from an Interim Capital Transaction, the Initial Public Offering or a sale transaction in connection with the liquidation of the Company, shall be made to the Members, pro rata, in proportion with their respective Sharing Percentages.

(b) The distribution of Net Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering shall be made pro rata to Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc., Manning & Napier Advisory Advantage Corporation and Manning & Napier Alternative Opportunities, Inc., in the same proportions as their respective Sharing Percentages bear to the aggregate Sharing Percentage of those three Members.

Distributions may take the form of cash, securities or other property, as determined by the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable.

5.10 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent permitted by law, on or before the date that estimated income taxes are required to be paid with respect to each fiscal quarter, the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, shall determine the Tax Allowance Amount for each Member in respect of such quarter. Upon such determination, and to the extent that the Company has not made minimum distributions to each Member in an amount (in cash or property) at least equal to such Member’s respective Tax Allowance Amount for the then current fiscal quarter, the Company shall distribute to each member an amount so that after such distribution is made each Member shall have received minimum aggregate distributions for such fiscal quarter equal to each such Member’s Tax Allowance Amount. For the purposes of computing the Tax Allowance Amount, if any, the effect of any benefit to a Member under Section 734 or 743 of the Code, if any, will be ignored. A Tax Allowance Amount paid to a Member under this Section 5.10 shall be treated as an advance against distributions to the same Member under this Agreement.

5.11 Restrictions on Distributions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.09 and 5.10 hereof to the contrary, no distribution shall be made to the Members if such distribution would (a) violate any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party or any Law then applicable to the Company, (b) have the effect of rendering the Company insolvent or (c) result in the Company having net capital lower than that required by applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not make a distribution to a Member to the extent that at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, the aggregate of the liabilities of the Company and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specified property of the Company, exceed the fair value of the assets of the Company (including, without limitation, the fair value of the Company’s goodwill), except that the fair value of property that is subject to a liability for which the recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the assets of the Company only to the extent that the fair value of that property exceeds that liability.

5.12 Withholding. Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold and to pay to any appropriate Governmental or Regulatory Authority any taxes payable by the Company as a result of such Member’s participation in the Company; if and to the extent that the Company shall be required to withhold and pay any such taxes, such Member shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a payment from the Company in the amount of the sum withheld as of the time such withholding is required to be paid to any appropriate Governmental or Regulatory Authority, which payment shall be deemed to be a distribution to such Member and an advance on any Tax Distributions to be made under this Agreement.

5.13 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member. If the Company is required by law to make any payment to a Governmental or Regulatory Authority that is specifically attributable to a Member or a Member’s status as such (including federal withholding taxes, state or local personal property taxes and state or local unincorporated

business taxes), then such Member shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). A Member’s obligation to indemnify the Company under this Section 5.13 shall survive termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 5.13, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 5.13, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnification, with interest calculated at a rate equal to Prime Rate plus 2% (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Board Triggering Event, the Company shall be managed by “managers” (as such term is used in the Act) according to the terms set forth herein. Such “managers” are referred to as “Directors” throughout this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Board Triggering Event, the business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors (the “Board”).

(a) Composition. The Board shall consist of natural persons who need not be Members or residents of the State of Delaware. Upon the occurrence of a Board Triggering Event, the Board shall initially be composed of:

(i) two individuals appointed by (A) the estate of the Managing Member, if such Board Triggering Event is due to the death of the Managing Member, or (B) the Managing Member or a legal representative thereof, if such Board Triggering Event is due to the disability of the Managing Member (such individuals, the “Manning Directors”); and

(ii) four individuals who at such time are employees of Manning & Napier Group (or any of its Subsidiaries) and hold the largest direct and indirect ownership interests in Manning & Napier Group (the “Employee-Owner Directors”); provided, however, in the event the fourth largest direct and indirect ownership interest in Manning & Napier Group is held by more than one individual, then the individual holding the most senior executive title shall be appointed as an Employee-Owner Director; provided, if such individuals hold identical or equal titles, then the individual with the highest total compensation shall be appointed as an Employee-Owner Director; provided further, if such individuals hold identical or equal titles and earn identical total compensation, then a majority of the remaining Board shall determine which individual shall be appointed as an Employee-Owner Director.

Each individual appointed to serve on the Board in accordance with this Section 7.02(a) shall serve until his or her removal in accordance with Section 7.02(b), voluntary resignation, death or disability, as applicable. The chairperson of the Board, if any, shall be designated by the majority vote of the Directors.

(b) Removal. A Director appointed to serve on the Board in accordance with Section 7.02(a) may not be removed from the Board during his or her term except (i) if such Director has committed willful misconduct or gross negligence in a manner that materially impairs the Company’s financial condition or prospects, (ii) if such Director has continually refused or intentionally failed to perform his or her duties and obligations in some material respect after reasonable written notice (and reasonable time to cure) of any such refusal or failure to perform such duties or obligations, (iii) if such Director has been convicted of a felony or crime involving moral turpitude, (iv) if such Director has breached a material obligation under this Agreement, (v) if such Employee-Owner Director is no longer an employee of the Company; or (vi) if such Employee-Owner Director does not hold one of the four largest direct and indirect ownership interests in Manning & Napier Group; provided, however, the Persons who appointed the Manning Directors in accordance with Section 7.02(a) shall have the right to remove any such Director from serving on the Board and appoint replacements therefor.

(c) Vacancies. Any vacancy created by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any Manning Director shall be filled by an appointee designated by the Persons that designated the applicable former Manning Director under Section 7.02(a). Any vacancy created by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or lack of direct or indirect ownership interest in Manning & Napier Group by an Employee-Owner Director shall be filled by an individual then employed by Manning & Napier Group and holding one of the four largest direct and indirect ownership interests in Manning & Napier Group, as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.02(a). Actions taken at a duly convened Board meeting or by written consent when a vacancy exists shall not affect the validity of such action.

(d) Quorum; Required Vote for Board Action. Each Director serving on the Board shall be entitled to cast one vote in connection with each matter submitted for approval, adoption or consent of the Board (whether at a meeting or by written consent). A quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Board shall exist when a majority of the Directors is present in person, by proxy or by telephone. All decisions of the Board shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes ascribed to all Directors present in person, by proxy or by telephone at any meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present.

(e) Location; Order of Business. The Board may hold its meetings in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board, business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of the Board.

(f) Meetings of the Board; Notices. The Board shall meet at least quarterly. Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at such places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board. Special meetings of the Board may be called by any other Member or Members holding an aggregate of 15% of the Units then outstanding and eligible to vote on at least 48 hours notice to each Director, with such notice containing a statement of the purposes for such special meeting.

(g) Reimbursement; Compensation. All Directors shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for their respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the ordinary course of their services as such. Other than the reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs, no Director shall be entitled to any other compensation.

(h) Committees of the Board. The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of all of the Directors, designate one or more committees, including, without limitation, an audit, compensation, disclosure, governance, executive and nomination committee. Any committee designated in accordance with this Section 7.02(h) shall choose its own chairman, shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board when requested, shall fix its own rules and procedures, and shall meet at such times and at such places as may be provided by such rules and procedures, or by resolution of such committee or the Board. At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be necessary for the adoption of any resolution.

Except as expressly provided otherwise by this Agreement, the holders of a majority of the Units then outstanding shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Members, and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Units so present or represented at such meeting, voting together as a single class, shall constitute the act of the Members. The Members present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of sufficient Members to destroy the quorum.

(c) Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the Members (i) for the appointment of Directors to succeed those Directors who are no longer serving on the Board due to his or her removal in accordance with Section 7.02(a), voluntarily resignation, death or disability, if and as applicable, and (ii) for the transaction of such other business as may properly be considered at the meeting may be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting; provided, if the business, property and affairs of the Company are being managed by the Board in accordance with Section 7.02, then until such time as a meeting of Members shall be called in accordance with this Section 7.04, the Directors shall continue to serve until their resignation or removal in accordance with Section 7.02.

7.05 Provisions Applicable to All Meetings. In connection with any meeting of the Members or any meeting of the Board, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Waiver of Notice Through Attendance. Attendance of a Person at such meeting (including attendance by telephone pursuant to Section 7.05(d)) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such Person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

(b) Proxies. A Director may vote at a Board meeting, if any, by a written proxy executed by that Person and delivered to another Director.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Managing Member nor any Director, as applicable, shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damage or otherwise to the Company or to any Member, successor, assignee or transferee except by reason of acts or omissions due to fraud or intentional misconduct or that constitute a violation of the implied contractual duty of good faith and fair dealing.

(b) This Agreement constitutes (assuming its due authorization and execution by the other Members) such Member’s legal, valid and binding obligation.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Each Member shall keep confidential and shall not disclose, divulge or use, other than for Company business, any Confidential Information except for disclosures (a) compelled by Law or required or requested by subpoena or request from a court, regulator or a stock exchange (but the Member shall (provided such notification is legally permitted) notify the Company or the Member affected by such disclosure, as applicable, promptly of any request for that information before disclosing it if practicable), (b) to Legal Representatives of the Member (provided that each Legal Representative is informed of the confidential nature of such information, and that the disclosing Member remains liable for any breach of this provision by its Legal Representatives, (c) to any Person to which such Member Transfers or offers to Transfer any of its Units in compliance with this Agreement so long as the transferring party first obtains a confidentiality agreement from the proposed transferee, in form reasonably acceptable to the Company, (d) of information in connection with litigation against the Company or any Member to which the disclosing Member is a party (but the Member shall notify the Company or the Member affected by such disclosure, as applicable, as promptly as practicable prior to making such disclosure, if practicable, and shall disclose only that portion of such information required to be disclosed) or (e) permitted by the Company or Member affected by such disclosure, as applicable. The Members agree that breach of the provisions of this Section 8.01 may cause irreparable injury to the Company or the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedy at law) are inadequate in view of the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with such provisions. Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Section 8.01 may be enforced by specific performance.

8.02 Company Property. All confidential and proprietary information of the Company shall be the exclusive property and proprietary rights of the Company, and to the extent any Member has participated in the development thereof, such Member shall assign all such rights to the Company and such Member’s work effort shall be considered “works for hire” for the Company.

(d) The Members agree that a breach of the provisions of this Article IX may cause irreparable injury to the Company and the Members for which monetary damages (or other remedy at Law) are inadequate in view of (i) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Person to comply with such provisions and (ii) the uniqueness of the Company’s business and the relationship among the Members. Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Article IX may be enforced by specific performance.

(b) the Requesting Member provides the Managing Member a written request for redemption at least 60 calendar days in advance of the requested redemption date;

(c) the redemption price is established not earlier than 60 calendar days after the Managing Member’s receipt of such written request; and

(d) the redemption, if granted, together with “transfers” (within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) previously effectuated during the Fiscal Year of the Company (other than transfers described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(e)) does not exceed 10% of the total interests in the Company’s capital or profits.

The Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, may elect to waive one or more of (a)-(d) if a written opinion is received by the Company’s tax counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, that the proposed redemption will not adversely cause the Company to constitute a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

ARTICLE X

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

10.01 Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following events (each, a “Dissolution Event”), and no other event shall cause the Company’s dissolution:

(ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Act.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted by the Act, the death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member shall not constitute a Dissolution Event and, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, the business of the Company shall be continued without dissolution.

10.02 Liquidation and Termination.

(a) On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, or a Person selected by the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, to act as liquidating trustee shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee, as applicable, is authorized, subject to the Act, to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Company, or to distribute Company assets in kind, as the Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee shall determine to be in the best interests of the Members. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee, as applicable, in connection with winding up the Company (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Company. Except as otherwise required by Law and except in connection with any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee, as applicable, the Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee shall not be liable to any Member or the Company for any loss attributable to any act or omission of the Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee taken in good faith in connection with the winding up of the Company and the distribution of Company assets. The Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee, as applicable, may consult with counsel and accountants with respect to winding up the Company and distributing its assets and shall be justified in acting or omitting to act in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants, provided that the Managing Member, the Board or liquidating trustee, as applicable, shall have used reasonable care in selecting such counsel or accountants.

(b) The Managing Member, the Board or the liquidating trustee, as applicable, shall take the following actions and make the following distributions out of the property of the Company in the following manner and order:

(i) Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final winding up, the Managing Member, the Board or the liquidating trustee, as applicable, shall cause a proper accounting to be made by an independent outside accounting firm of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last calendar day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final winding up is completed, as applicable.

(ii) Satisfaction of Obligations. The Managing Member, the Board or the liquidating trustee, as applicable, shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in winding up); provided, however, that the Managing Member, the Board or the liquidating trustee, as applicable, may establish one or more cash escrow funds (in such amounts and for such terms as the liquidator may reasonably determine) for the payment of contingent liabilities.

(iii) Distribution of Assets. All remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(A) the Managing Member, the Board or the liquidating trustee, as applicable, may sell any or all Company property, including to the Members;

(B) Subject to the provision of Sections 5.04 and 5.05, taking into account paragraph (C) hereof, Net Profits and Net Losses arising from, or attributable to, the sale transactions described in paragraph (A) hereof shall be allocated to the Members in a manner that will, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of the last Accounting Period to be in the same proportion as their respective Sharing Percentages provided, however, if any Class B Unit issued to Richard Goldberg and/or William Manning is outstanding during the final Accounting Period, Section 5.01(b) shall be applied first before the application of this paragraph 10.2(b)(iii)(B);

(C) For purposes of paragraph (B) hereof, with respect to all Company property that has not been sold, the Gross Asset Value of that property shall be determined and the Capital Accounts of Members shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously would be allocated among Members if there were a taxable disposition of that property for the Gross Asset Value of that property on the date of distribution under paragraphs (B) and (D) hereof; and

(D) the property of the Company shall be distributed to the Members, pro rata, in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances.

(c) All distributions in kind to the Members shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for costs, expenses, and liabilities theretofore incurred or for which the Company has committed prior to the date of termination, and those costs, expenses, and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributee pursuant to this Section 10.02; provided, however, that no Member shall be liable for any such Company cost, expense or liability in excess of the Gross Asset Value of the property so distributed in kind to such Member. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act; provided, however, that no Member shall be deemed under this Section 10.02(c) to have agreed to be liable for any such Company cost, expense or liability in excess of the Gross Asset Value of the property so distributed in kind to such Member. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

10.03 Deficit Capital Accounts. No Member will be required to pay to the Company, any other Member or any third party, any deficit balance which may exist, from time to time, in the Member’s Capital Account.

10.04 Certificate of Cancellation. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable (or any Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit), shall file a Certificate of Cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.06, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. Upon the effectiveness of the Certificate of Cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease, except as may be otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, shall cause to be prepared and mailed to each Member one (1) or more reports setting forth, as of the end of such Fiscal Year, (a) a statement of Net Profits and Net Losses and the amount of such Member’s Capital Account and, as soon as thereafter practicable, the amount of such Member’s share of the Company’s taxable income or loss for such Fiscal Year, in sufficient detail to enable such Member to prepare its federal, state and other tax returns and (b) a balance sheet and statements of operations and cash flows for the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the Fiscal Year. The financial statements described in this Section 11.02 shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except as may be noted therein).

11.03 Tax Returns and Tax Elections.

(a) The Company’s accountants shall prepare all federal, state and local tax returns of the Company for each year for which such returns are required to be filed. The Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, in its sole discretion, shall determine the accounting methods and conventions under the tax laws of the United States, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company or any other method or procedure related to the preparation of such tax returns. The Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, in its sole discretion, may cause the Company to make or refrain from making any and all elections permitted by such tax laws, provided that the Company shall (i) except as otherwise required by the Code, use the cash method of accounting for federal income purposes, and (ii) elect out of the installment sale treatment under Code Section 453(d) and Treasury Regulation Section 15A.453-1(c)(1) with respect to the Initial Public Offering and the Interim Capital Transactions.

(b) Each Member agrees that, in respect of any year in which it has or had any interest in the Company, it shall not (i) treat, on its individual income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to its interest in the Company in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Company as reflected on the Form K-1 or other information statement furnished by the Company to such Member for use in preparing its income tax returns or (ii) file any claim for refund relating to any such item based upon, or that would result in, such inconsistent treatment unless such Member has been advised by counsel that treating such item in a manner consistent with the treatment of such item by the Company would subject such Member to penalties under the Code.

(c) The Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, or a Person designated by the Managing Member or the Board, as applicable, who is a Member, shall be the Company’s

“Tax Matters Partner” (as that term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code) in the event of an income tax audit of any Company return. To the extent the Company is treated as an entity for purposes of the audit, including administrative settlement and judicial review, the Tax Matters Partner shall be authorized to act for and represent the Company, and to enter into a settlement agreement within the meaning of Section 6224(c)(1) of the Code (or comparable provisions under state or local Law) to which each Member agrees to be bound. All expenses incurred in connection with any such audit shall be expenses of the Company. The Tax Matters Partner shall be authorized to carry out on behalf of the Company and at the Company’s expense all acts appropriate to such designation with respect to federal, state and local taxing authorities.

11.04 No Further Rights to Books and Records. Except for the information required to be provided to the Members under this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to demand from the Company, and the Company shall have no obligation to provide to any Member, any books or records of the Company.

ARTICLE XII

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

12.01 Exculpation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or any other Indemnitee for any Losses which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Company or any other Indemnitee as a result of or arising out of the activities of the Indemnitee in its capacity as an Officer of the Company or otherwise on behalf of the Company to the extent within the scope of the authority reasonably believed to be conferred on such Indemnitee, except to the extent such Losses arise out of (a) the Indemnitee’s failure to act 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, the Indemnitee’s not having any reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, or (b) the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.02 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of (a) the Members, the Managing Member, the Board and their respective Affiliates, (b) the stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the Members, the Managing Member, the Board and their respective Affiliates, and (c) the Officers of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all Losses which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitee as a result of or arising out of this Agreement, the Company, its assets, business or affairs or the activities of the Indemnitee in its capacity as an officer of the Company or otherwise on behalf of the Company to the extent within the scope of the authority reasonably believed to be conferred on such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Losses to the extent such Losses arise out of (a) the Indemnitee’s failure to act 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, the Indemnitee’s not having any reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, or (b) the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful 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 specified in clause (a) or (b) above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Article XII shall be made only out of the assets of the Company and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

12.03 Expenses. Expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding described in Section 12.02 shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, 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 provided in this Article XII.

12.04 Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article XII 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, this Agreement, any other agreement, a policy of insurance or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article XII 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 permitted assigns of such a Person.

12.05 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 XII.

ARTICLE XIII
