TAX MATTERS
8.1 Status of the Company. It is intended that the Company be disregarded as an entity separate from the Member for federal income tax purposes. No election shall be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.7701-3 promulgated
under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, (the “Code”) to treat the Company as an association taxable as a corporation.

MISCELLANEOUS

9.2 Certificates Representing Interests. Each limited liability company interest of the Company shall constitute and remain a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware. The interests of the Company shall be represented by certificates; provided that the Member and/or Operating Committee (under delegation of the Member) may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any class or series shall be uncertificated interests that may be evidenced by a book-entry system maintained by the registrar of such interests. If interests are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be in the form, other than bearer form, approved by the Member or Operating Committee (under delegation of the Member). The certificates representing interests of each class shall be signed by, or in the name of, the Company by the president or any vice president and by the secretary, any assistant secretary, the treasurer or any assistant treasurer. Any or all such signatures may be facsimiles. Although any officer, transfer agent or registrar whose manual or facsimile signature is affixed to such a certificate ceases to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate has been issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were still such at the date of its issue.
9.3 Pledge of Membership Interest. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the limited liability company interests issued hereunder or covered hereby may be pledged to any lender or lenders as collateral for the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries to such lender or lenders, and any such lender’s or lenders’ rights under any collateral documentation governing or pertaining to such pledge. The pledge of such limited liability company interests shall not, except as otherwise provided in such collateral documentation, cause the Member to cease to be a Member or to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member and, except as provided in such collateral documentation, such lender or lenders shall not have any liability solely as a result of such pledge. Without limiting the foregoing, the right of such lender or lenders to enforce their rights and remedies under such collateral documentation hereby is acknowledged and any such action taken in accordance therewith shall be valid and effective for all purposes under this Agreement (regardless of any restrictions herein contained) and any assignment, sale or other disposition of the limited liability company interests by such lender or lenders pursuant to any such collateral documentation in connection with the exercise of any such lender’s or lenders’ rights and powers shall be valid and effective for all purposes, including, without limitation, under the Delaware Act and this Agreement, to transfer all right, title and interest of the Member hereunder to itself or themselves, any other lender or any other person (each, an “Assignee”) in accordance with such collateral documentation and applicable law (including, without limitation, in accordance with such collateral documentation and applicable law, the rights to participate in the management of the business and the business affairs of the Company, to share profits and losses, to receive distributions and to receive allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item) and such Assignee shall be a Member of the Company with all rights and powers of a Member. Such assignment shall not constitute an event of dissolution under Section 6.1 hereunder. Further, no lender or any such Assignee shall be liable for the obligations of the Member assignor to make contributions. The Member approves all of the foregoing and agrees that no further approval shall be required for the exercise of any rights or remedies under such collateral documentation.
9.4 Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms.
