CAPITAL AND CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. 3.1. Each Member will contribute to the capital of the Company as the Member’s initial Capital Contribution the money or property _____________[or services] specified in Exhibit B. The initial Fair Market Value of each item of contributed property (net of liabilities secured by that property) which the Company is considered to assume or to take “subject to” under IRC section 752, is also set forth in Exhibit B, together with the description and amount of these liabilities. If a Member fails to make the initial Capital Contributions specified in this Section within 30 days after the effective date of this Agreement, that Member’s entire Membership Interest will terminate, and that Member will indemnify and hold the Company and the other Members harmless from any loss, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees caused by the failure to make the initial Capital Contribution. 3.2. No Member will be required to make any additional Capital Contributions. No Member may voluntarily make any additional Capital Contribution. 3.3. If a Member fails to make an additional Capital Contribution required under Section 3.2 of this Agreement within 30 days after it is required to be made (a Defaulting Member), the Manager will within 5 days after that failure notify each other Member (a Nondefaulting Member) in writing of the total amount of Defaulting Member Capital Contributions not made (the Additional Capital Shortfall), and will specify a number of days within which each Nondefaulting Member may make an additional Capital Contribution, which will not be less than an amount bearing the same ratio to the amount of Additional Capital Shortfall as the Nondefaulting Member’s Capital Account balance bears to the total Capital Accounts of all Nondefaulting Members. If the total amount of Additional Capital Shortfall is not so contributed, the Manager may use any reasonable method to provide Members the opportunity to make additional Capital Contributions, until the Additional Capital Shortfall is as fully contributed as possible. Following the Nondefaulting Members’ making of those additional Capital Contributions, each Member’s Percentage Interest will be adjusted to reflect the ratio that the Member’s Capital Account bears to the total Capital Accounts of all Members. 3.4. If a Member fails for 30 days to make an additional Capital Contribution required under Section 3.2: (a) The Defaulting Member will indemnify and hold the Company and the other Members harmless from any loss, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees caused by the failure to make the additional Capital Contribution. In this Agreement, those additional Capital Contributions that are not made by a Defaulting Member are referred to as Additional Capital Shortfall.

The Defaulting Member grants any Nondefaulting Members who make advances to the Company in accordance with this Section 3.4(a) a security interest in the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest to secure the Defaulting Member’s obligations under this Section 3.4(a). The Defaulting Member will, within 5 days of written notice, execute any documents or instruments reasonably necessary to enable Nondefaulting Members who make advances under this Section to perfect the foregoing security interests. Each Member irrevocably appoints each other Member, and any one of them acting alone, as his, her, or its attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of executing, on behalf of the Member, if the Member becomes a Defaulting Member, any of the foregoing documents or instruments. (b) If the Defaulting Member fails to pay all sums due and owing to any Members who make advances under Section 3.4(a), for a period of 180 days after the advance, each Member who has made advances under Section 3.4(a) may foreclose on any security interest granted under this Section 3.4 by causing the principal amount of the advance to be transferred from the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account and added to the Capital Account of the Member who has made the advances, with a corresponding adjustment in that Member’s and the Defaulting Member’s Percentage Interests. Accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owed to Members who have made those advances (the Noncapital Costs) will also be paid out of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account, and if the Capital Account is not sufficient to fully pay Noncapital Costs, the available balance will be shared pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Nondefaulting Members’ respective advances. The Defaulting Member’s Percentage Interest will be further adjusted (but not below zero) following application to Noncapital Costs. All Members agree that the foregoing constitutes and will constitute a disposition of collateral in a commercially reasonable manner within the meaning of California Commercial Code §9610. Reduction of a Defaulting Member’s Capital Account to satisfy that member’s repayment obligations under this Section 3.4(b) will be deemed a return of capital to that Member to the extent of the reduction. (c) On the occurrence of, and for the duration of, a Default by any Member, the Defaulting Member will not have any right to vote the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest or otherwise participate in the management or control of the business and affairs of the Company, and any and all provisions of this Agreement relating to management and control will be implemented without including the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member. The foregoing provisions will be in addition to the Company’s remedies under Corporations Code §17201(a)(2). On satisfaction of a Defaulting Member’s obligations (whether by enforcement of a remedy or otherwise) under Section 3.4(b), that Member will be restored to full membership status to the extent of any remaining Percentage Interest. 3.5. An individual Capital Account for each Member will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and adjusted in accordance with the following provisions: (a) A Member’s Capital Account will be increased by that Member’s Capital Contributions, that Member’s share of Profits, and any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to that Member under Article IV.

(d) A Member’s Capital Account will be reduced by the Member’s share of any expenditures of the Company described in IRC §705(a)(2)(B) or which are treated as IRC §705(a)(2)(B) expenditures under Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) (including syndication expenses and losses nondeductible under IRC §267(a)(1) or 707(b)). (e) If any Economic Interest (or portion thereof) is Transferred, the transferee of the Economic Interest or portion will succeed to the transferor’s Capital Account corresponding to the interest or portion. (f) The principal amount of a promissory note that is not readily traded on an established securities market and that is contributed to the Company by the maker of the note will not be included in the Capital Account of any Person until the Company makes a taxable disposition of the note or until (and to the extent) principal payments are made on the note, all in accordance with Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(2). (g) Each Member’s Capital Account will be increased or decreased as necessary to reflect a revaluation of the Company’s property assets in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Reg. §§1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), including the special rules under Treasury Reg. §1.701-1(b)(4), as applicable.
