the transferee shall deliver to the Company and the Participant such other documents and
instruments as the Participant reasonably may request and which are required to effect the
Permitted Disposition and substitute the transferee as a Member.
8.4 Effect of Permitted Dispositions.
(a) Upon consummation of any Permitted Disposition:
(i) the transferee shall be admitted as a Member in the Company and
be deemed to be a party to this Agreement as the “Member” and shall be appointed the Manager;
(ii) the transferred Company Interest shall continue to be subject to all
the provisions of this Agreement, including the remainder of this Article VIII, and the transferee
Member shall have the same status as the transferor Member had at the time of consummation of
such Permitted Disposition and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any outstanding
breach, misrepresentation, violation or default (with respect to this Agreement or any Ancillary
Document) by any direct or indirect predecessor to the transferee as the Member, or by any
Affiliate of any such predecessor Member, shall be deemed to constitute an outstanding breach,
misrepresentation, violation or default as the case may be, by the transferee Member;
(iii) subject to Section 8.4(b) and the last sentence of Section 12.9, the

Agreement of the Member).
(b) No Permitted Disposition (and no resulting withdrawal or resignation of
the transferor Member from the Company) shall:
(i) relieve the transferor Member of any of the obligations or

purported Disposition shall be rescinded, shall not be entitled to, and hereby specifically waives,
any right to receive Company distributions from and after the date of such Disposition or
purported Disposition or failure to comply, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to the extent that Member would have been entitled to Company distributions but for the
preceding provisions of this Section 8.5 (“Omitted Distributions”), if and when such
Disposition or purported Disposition shall be rescinded, Member shall be entitled to receive all
such Omitted Dispositions (but no interest shall be paid thereon with respect to the period

applicable laws, as they may pertain to such party’s performance of its obligations hereunder.
(b) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or

case may be; (ii) without limitation of clause (i), such provision shall in any event be ineffective

Agreement that in the event that in any court proceeding, such court determines that any
22
FDIC - FNBN I Final Res LLC OPER AG (2)
12317954.4
provision of this Agreement is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (because of the
duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of such provision, or for any other reason) such
court shall have the power to, and shall, (x) modify such provision (including without limitation,
to the extent applicable, by limiting the duration or scope of such provision and/or the Persons
against whom, and/or the circumstances under which, such provision shall be effective in such
jurisdiction) for purposes of such proceeding to the minimum extent necessary so that such
provision, as so modified, may then be enforced in such proceeding and (y) enforce such
provision, as so modified pursuant to clause (x), in such proceeding. Nothing in this
Section 12.11(b) is intended to, or shall, limit (1) the ability of any party to this Agreement to
appeal any court ruling or the effect of any favorable ruling on appeal or (2) the intended effect
of Section 12.3.
