amended hereby.
2.2 Except as specifically amended above, the Operating Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
3. MISCELLANEOUS
3.1 This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In
accordance with the Operating Agreement, this Amendment shall be effective upon execution by the
Company, the Manager and a Supermajority-in-Interest of the Members. This Amendment, to the extent
signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission (including
transmission in portable document format by electronic mail), shall be treated in all manner and
respects and for all purposes as an original agreement and shall be considered to have the same
binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the
request of any party hereto, each other party hereto shall re-execute original forms hereof and
deliver them to all other parties, except that the failure of any party to comply with such a
request shall not render this Amendment invalid or unenforceable. No party hereto shall raise the
use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature, or the fact
that any signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other
electronic transmission, as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each
such party forever waives any such defense.
3.2 Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only
and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.
3.3 Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts
and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and
documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against
any party.
3.5 If and to the extent there are any inconsistencies between the Operating Agreement and
this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control.
