    6.03 Non-Liability of Managers and Officers in Certain Cases. No Manager or officer or

    member of the executive committee or any other committee shall be liable for his acts as such if he

    the Business Code, as applicable, each officer or Manager or member of any committee shall, in the

    discharge of any duty imposed or power conferred upon him by the Company, be fully protected if,in the exercise of ordinary care, he acted in good faith and in reliance upon the statements, valuations

    insurance or other arrangement, the Managers may, for the benefit of persons indemnified by the

    Company (a) create a trust fund, (b) establish any form of self-insurance, (c) secure the indemnity

    obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on the assets of the Company, or (d) establish

    insurer or other person are owned in whole or in part by the Company. In the absence of fraud, the

    judgment of the Managers as to the terms and conditions of the insurance or other arrangement and

    the identity of the insurer or other person participating in the arrangement shall be conclusive and

    the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the Managers approving the

    insurance or arrangement to liability, on any ground, regardless of whether Managers participatingin the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance or arrangement.

    ARTICLE VII

    CONTRIBUTIONS TO CAPITAL

    7.01 Initial Contributions. Concurrently with the adoption of this Company Agreement,

    each Member shall contribute cash to the capital of the Company in the amount of the Initial

    Contribution of such Member as set forth in Schedule "1" which is attached hereto. Such cash

    amount shall be the Initial Contribution of each such Member and, upon the payment of such Initial

    Contribution each such Member shall receive such Member's Membership Interest as set forth inSchedule "1".

    7.02 Additional Contributions. Each Member shall additionally contribute cash to the

    capital of the Company in the amount of the Additional Contributions, if any, set forth in Schedule

    "1". The obligation of each Member to complete the payment of such Member's Additional

    Contributions to the Company is a personal recourse obligation which is enforceable by the

    Company against such Member and the successors and assigns of such Member in the manner

    prescribed by the Business Code or as otherwise permitted by law, all of which remedies shall be

    cumulative and not exclusive.

    7.03 Optional Contributions. If, at any time, the revenues and other funds available to theCompany are not adequate to meet its obligations, then the Managers shall request the Members to

    approve a Call for Optional Contributions (herein so called) in the amount of the funds required to

    defray such deficiency. Upon the approval of such Call for Optional Contributions by a Majority

    in Interest of all of the Members, then the Managers shall promptly request each Member in writing

    to make an Optional Contribution to the Company in the amount of such Member's prorata share of

    such Call for Optional Contributions, determined in accordance with the Members' respective

    Membership Interest. Each such Optional Contribution shall be due and payable within 10 days after

    the Managers give the Members such notice. The obligation of each Member to make an Optional

    Contribution to the Company which is required and authorized in the manner herein prescribed shall

    be a nonrecourse obligation which is enforceable only against the Membership Interest of the

    Member failing to make such Optional Contribution by means of a forced sale of such Membership

    Interest (the "Offered Interest") in consideration of the payment to the Company of an aggregate

    amount equal to the defaulted Optional Contribution either (i) prorata (or as they may otherwise

    agree) to the Members who have agreed to make their prorata portions of such Call for Optional

    Contributions; or (ii) to the extent that any portion of such Offered Interest is not purchased by such

  • 8/14/2019 RL Company Agm

    17/33

    - 16-

    3/8/07:H:\RSR\65898\SENGERCREEK\LLCFORMATION\RL-company-agm.wpd

    other Members, then to one or more purchasers who are not then Members as may be designated by

    the Managers.

    7.04 Maintenance of Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be established

    and maintained for each Member and shall be increased and decreased in accordance with the

    following provisions:

    (a) Each Member's Capital Account will be increased by (i) the amount of money

    contributed by such Member to the Company; (ii) the fair market value of any property contributed

    by such Member to the Company; (iii) the amount of any liabilities of the Company that are assumed

    by the Member or that are secured by any property distributed by the Company to the Member; and

    (iv) the amount of Profits allocated to such Member.

    (b) Each Member's Capital Account will be decreased by (i) the amount of money

    distributed to such Member by the Company; (ii) the fair market value of any property distributed

    to such Member by the Company; (iii) the amount of any liabilities of such Member that are assumed

    by the Company or that are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company;and (iv) the amount of Losses allocated to such Member.

    7.05 Company Loan. If any Member (the "Non-Advancing Member") fails to contribute

    to the Company an Optional Contribution which he or it is obligated hereunder to contribute, then

    any other Member (the "Advancing Member") may, at his or its election (without any obligation to

    do so) advance to the Company an additional amount equal to the Non-Advancing Member's

    proportionate part (or portion thereof) of the required funds which the Non-Advancing Member

    failed to contribute. Thereupon, the Advancing Member may, at his or its option, elect to treat the

    entire amount advanced by him or it (including both such Advancing Member's own Proportionate

    share of the funds required plus the amount contributed by it to provide for the sum not contributed

    by the Non-Advancing Member) as a loan from the Advancing Member to the Company ("CompanyLoan"). Each such Company Loan shall bear the interest at the maximum rate permitted by law at

    the applicable time and shall be payable on or before 30 days after the date of the making of such

    Company Loan. Until full payment of such Company Loan and all interest thereon, all distributions

    of Distributable Cash shall, notwithstanding any other provision thereof, be applied first upon the

    accrued interest and then upon the principal of such Company Loan. If any Company Loan is not

    paid in full upon its maturity, then at the election of the Advancing Member, the Membership

    Interest of the Non-Advancing Member (including, without limitation, the credit balance, if any, in

    the capital account of such Non-Advancing Member and all other rights of the Non-Advancing

    Member under this Agreement) shall be transferred to the Advancing Member, and such transfer

    shall be deemed to be full payment and discharge of the Company Loan made by the Advancing

    Member. The Members recognize that each Member, in entering into this Agreement, is relying on

    the undertaking of the other Member to make Additional Contributions, if needed; the damages

    which might be incurred by a Member as a result of the failure of the other Member to fulfill his

    obligation to make such Additional Contributions would be difficult to ascertain at the present time,

    and the transfer of such Non-Advancing Company's Membership Interest and other rights, as

    aforesaid, would constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages which would be likely to be

    18/33

    - 17-

    3/8/07:H:\RSR\65898\SENGERCREEK\LLCFORMATION\RL-company-agm.wpd

    incurred by the Advancing Member, in the event of such default by the Non-Advancing Member.

    The foregoing provision shall in no way be construed to limit any rights or remedies either party may

    have against the other.

    7.06 Compliance with Code and Treasury Company Agreement. The Members intend that

    the terms of this Company Agreement regarding the computation and maintenance of the CapitalAccounts of the Members shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 704(b) of the

    Tax Code and Treasury Company Agreement Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv) and applicable provisions of

    succeeding law or Company Agreement. The Company shall make such adjustments as may from

    time to time be necessary in order to effectuate the intent of the Members with respect to such

    compliance.

    7.07 Effect of Transfers. In the event of a permitted sale or other disposition of a

    Membership Interest in the Company, the Capital Account of the transferor shall become the Capital

    Account of the transferee to the extent such Capital Account relates to the transferred portion of the

    Membership Interest.

    7.08 No Interest on Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to receive any interest on

    such Member's Capital Contributions to the Company.

    7.09 No Withdrawal of Contributions. No Member shall have the right to withdraw all

    or any part of such Member's Capital Contribution or to receive any return on or of any part of such

    Member's Capital Contribution, except as may otherwise be specified in this Company Agreement.

    7.10 No Priority. Except as may be specifically provided in Article VIII below, no Member

    shall have priority over any other Member, either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to

    Profits, Losses or distributions; provided, however, that this Section shall not apply to loans which

    a Member has made to the Company with the approval of the Managers and a Majority in Interestof all of the Members.

    7.11 Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall at any time have any liability to the

    Company or the other Members for any negative balance in such Capital Accounts except to the

    extent that such negative balance arose as the result of distributions in violation of this Company

    Agreement or applicable law.

    7.12 Limited Liability of Members. No Member shall be liable for the debts, obligations

    or liabilities of the Company beyond such Member's Agreed Contributions to the Company. No

    Member shall be required to make any Capital Contribution or loan to the Company beyond the

    amount of such Member's Agreed Contribution.

    10.06 Effect of Assignment. No Assignment shall entitle the Assignee to become, or to

    exercise the rights or powers of, a Member of the Company until and unless the requirements of this

    Article have been satisfied. Whether or not an Assignee becomes a Member of the Company, the

    Assignor shall not be released from the Assignor's liability to the Company with respect to the

    Assigned Interest. Until and unless an Assignee becomes a Member in accordance with this Article,

    the Assignor will continue to be a Member with respect to the Assigned Interest and will continueto have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member with respect to such Assigned

    Interest, except to the extent that such rights or powers are assigned; provided, however, that the

    assignment of such rights or powers shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the

    contrary, be binding only as between the Assignor and the Assignee and the Company may continue

    to rely on the exercise of such rights and powers by the Assignor as to the Assigned Interest until and

    unless the Assignee becomes a Member in the manner herein prescribed with respect to the Assigned

    Interest. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, an Assignor who has assigned all

    of such Assignor's Membership Interest shall cease to be a Member of the Company.

    10.07 Rights of Assignees. An Assignee who has not become a Member shall be entitled,

    from and after the date of the Assignment, to receive distributions from the Company with respectto the Assigned Interest from and, for any proper purpose, to require reasonable information on

    account from the Company and to make reasonable inspections of the Company's books and records.

    10.08 Admission of Assignees as Member. No Assignor shall have the right to substitute

    an Assignee as a Member with respect to any Assigned Interest. Any such Assignee may be admitted

    as a Member of the Company with respect to the Assigned Interest only with the prior written

    consent of a Majority in Interest of the other Members, which consent may be granted or withheld

    in the sole discretion of such other Members. The foregoing provisions to the contrary

    notwithstanding, however, any Assignee who was a Member prior to and at the time of any

    Assignment shall automatically be entitled to exercise the rights of a Member with respect to the

    Assigned Interest without any further action on the part of the other Members.

    10.09 Admission of New Members. Any person may become a Member by purchasing a

    new Membership Interest from the Company on such terms and conditions as shall have been

    approved by the Managers and a Majority in Interest of all of the other Members.

    Company by giving not less than 90 days' prior written notice of such withdrawal or resignation to

    the Members;

    (c) Upon the death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy, legal

    incapacity or dissolution of any Member, or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the

    membership in the Company of any Member, unless there is at least 1 remaining Member and the

    business of the Company is continued by the consent of a Majority in Interest of the remaining

    Members within 90 days after the occurrence of such event; or

    (d) The entry of a final decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under

    Business Code.

    11.02 Effect of Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall cease

    to carry on its business, except insofar as may be necessary for the winding up thereof, and the assets

    of the Company shall be liquidated as herein provided. Dissolution of the Company shall be effective

    as of the day on which the event occurs which results in such dissolution, but the Company shall not

    terminate until there has been a winding-up of the Company's business and affairs and the assets of

    the Company have been liquidated and distributed as herein provided. Upon the dissolution of the

    Company, the Company shall cause written notice of its intention to dissolve to be mailed to eachknown creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner required by the Business Code.

    11.03 Winding Up Procedures. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall

    proceed to collect its assets; convey and dispose of such of its properties as are not to be distributed

    in kind to the Members; pay, satisfy and discharge its liabilities, or make adequate provision for

    payment and discharge thereof; and do all other acts required to liquidate its business and affairs. The

    Managers may cause any part or all of the assets of the Company to be sold in such manner as the

    Managers shall determine in an effort to obtain the best prices for such assets; provided, however,

    that the Managers shall be authorized to distribute assets of the Company in kind to the Members

    to the extent the Managers determine that such action would be in the best interest of the Members.

    11.04 Distribution of Assets Upon Dissolution. In settling the accounts of the Company

    after its dissolution, the assets of the Company shall be applied and distributed in the following order

    of priority:

    25/33

    - 24-

    3/8/07:H:\RSR\65898\SENGERCREEK\LLCFORMATION\RL-company-agm.wpd

    (a) First, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, and in accordance with the

    priorities, if any, established by applicable law, to creditors in satisfaction of liabilities of the

    Company, including liabilities of the Company to Members who are creditors (other than for

    distributions and Capital Contributions), whether by payment or establishment of reserves; provided,

    however, that if the property and assets of the Company are not sufficient to satisfy or discharge all

    of the Company's liabilities and obligations, the Company shall apply its property and assets so faras they will go to the just and equitable payment of its liabilities and obligations;

    (b) Second, to the Members, amounts due and unpaid with respect to distributions

    to which such Members have previously become entitled.

    (c) Third, an amount equal to the then remaining positive balances, if any, in the

    Capital Accounts of the Members shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to the amounts

    of such positive balances; and

    (d) Fourth, any remaining amount shall be distributed to and among the Members

    prorata in accordance with their respective Membership Interest.

    11.05 Distributions in Kind. If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind, such

    assets shall be distributed to the Members entitled thereto as tenants in common in the same

    proportions as the Members would have been entitled to cash distributions if such property had been

    sold for cash and the net proceeds thereof distributed to the Member. In the event that distributions

    in kind are made to the Members upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the Capital

    Account balances of such Members shall be adjusted to reflect the Members' allocable share of gain

    or loss which would have resulted if the distributed property had been sold at its fair market value.

    11.06 Articles of Dissolution. When all liabilities and obligations of the Company have

    been paid or discharged, or adequate provision has been made therefor, or in case its property andassets are not sufficient to satisfy and discharge all the Company's liabilities and obligations, then

    when all the property and assets of the Company have been applied so far as they will go to the just

    and equitable payment of the Company's liabilities and obligations, and all of the remaining property

    and assets of the Company have been distributed to its Members according to their respective rights

    and interests, then Articles of Dissolution shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the

    Managers or an authorized Member and shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of

    Texas, and the Managers and the Members shall execute, acknowledge and file any and all other

    instruments necessary or appropriate to reflect the dissolution and termination of the Company.
