ARTICLE IV

FINANCIAL MATTERS

4.1 Initial Capital Contributions. The initial capital contributions of the Members shall be set forth opposite the Member’s name on the Schedule of Members.

4.2 Additional Capital Contributions. Members shall be permitted to make further capital contributions to the Company in proportion to their Ownership Interests. Any contribution which is to be made in a different proportion shall require majority consent of the Members.

4.3 Interest on Capital Contributions. No interest shall be paid on any contribution to the capital of the Company.

4.4 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained on the books of the Company for each Member. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be credited with the amount of money and the fair market value of other property contributed to the Company pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement (net of liabilities secured by the contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), § 752). Each Member’s allocated share of Company items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be credited or debited to its Capital Account. All Company distributions to a Member of cash or property (which shall be valued at its fair market value net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under IRC § 752) shall be debited to such Member’s Capital Account. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with Treasury Regulations under TRC § 704(b).

4.5 Allocation of Profits and Losses. All items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated for purposes of the Capital Accounts among the Members in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests; provided that, upon the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, gains and losses shall be allocated so that, to the maximum extent possible, the Members’ resulting Capital Account balances are in proportion to their Ownership Interests. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.5, income, gain, loss and deduction for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in accordance with the corresponding item as determined for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts. For federal income tax purposes, recapture of any item of deduction or credit shall, to the extent consistent with the allocation of gain, be allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocation of items of deduction or credit giving rise to the recapture. In accordance with IRC § 704(c) and Treasury Regulations thereunder, solely for federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property contributed by a Member shall be allocated so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Member for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution. The preceding sentence shall be administered by the Tax Matters Member designated in accordance with Section 7.4.1.a or the Partnership Representative designated in accordance with Section 7.4.1.b, as applicable, in any reasonable manner that is consistent with IRC § 704(c) and Treasury Regulations thereunder.

4.6 Regulatory and Curative Allocations.

4.6.1 Notwithstanding the other provisions of Article IV, the “qualified income offset,” “minimum gain chargeback,” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Treasury Regulations under IRC § 704(b) shall be incorporated herein by reference and shall be given effect. Deductions attributable to partner nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of IRC § 1.704-(2(i)(2)) shall be allocable to the Member or Members who bear the risk of loss with respect to the nonrecourse liability.

4.6.2 If the allocation of deductions to any Member would cause the Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of any taxable year (after all other allocations provided for in Article IV have been made), such deductions shall instead be allocated to the other Members. For purposes of this Section 4.6.2, the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be

increased by the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and (iii) the amount of liabilities of the Company allocable to such Member under IRC § 752 with respect to which the Member bears the economic risk of loss to the extent such liability is not “partner nonrecourse debt.”

4.6.3 The allocations set forth in Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 shall be taken into account in determining other and subsequent allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deduction, so that, to the extent possible, the Capital Account balances of the Members shall be equal to the Capital Account balances that would have existed in the absence of such allocations.

4.6.4 The Managers shall adjust the Members’ Ownership Interests to reflect their Capital Accounts.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS FROM OPERATIONS

5.1 Sharing of Distributions. Except as provided in Article VIII, distributions shall be made in accordance with the Members’ Ownership Interests at the time of distribution.

5.2 Tax Distributions.

5.2.1 Within ten days after the end of March, May, August and December, the Managers may in their discretion cause the Company to distribute a certain amount to the Members as tax distributions in an amount equal to each Member’s estimated federal and state income tax liability that would be accrued on the income of the Company for that calendar year through the end of the applicable month (assuming that such income was taxed at the maximum applicable individual rate, based on the nature of the income as ordinary income, capital gain, or otherwise, for an individual residing in Colorado).

5.2.2 After the income of the Company for each calendar year has been determined, if total distributions to date with respect to such year do not equal or exceed the federal and state income tax liability that would be accrued on the income of the Company for such year (calculated in the manner set forth in the preceding Section 5.2.1), the Managers may in their discretion cause the Company to distribute an additional amount necessary to cause the total distributions for such year to equal such tax liability.

5.3 Additional Distribution. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.4 the Managers shall, at least as often as quarterly, make distributions from the Company to the Members in amounts that the Managers determine are not needed and are not reasonably expected to be needed for normal operating expenses of the Company, for payment of Company obligations or for establishing reasonable reserves for such expenses and obligations, and for any capital acquisition reserve which has been authorized pursuant to Section 6.8.4. Except as determined by the Managers, no Member shall have the right to withdraw any amount from his or her Capital Account, or to receive any distribution or return of capital, without the unanimous consent of Members.

5.4 Limits on Distributions. Distributions shall not be made to any Member under Sections 5.2 or 5.3 if the Company is in default of any of its obligations, is reasonably expected to be in such default, or would be in such default, as a consequence of such distribution. A Member may not receive a distribution from the Company if the liabilities of the Company, (other than liabilities to Members on account of their Ownership Interests) would exceed the fair market value of the assets of the Company after giving effect to the distribution.

6.4 Removal of a Manager. At a meeting called expressly for that purpose, any Manager may be removed, with or without cause, by a 66% Consent.

6.5 Duties of the Managers. The Managers shall perform their duties in good faith, in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the Company and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Managers who so perform their duties shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been a Manager of the Company. The Managers shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements of accountants, attorneys, professional consultants or other advisors unless they have knowledge concerning the matter in question which would cause such a reliance to be unwarranted. No Manager shall have authority to do any act in contravention of the Articles or this Agreement. A Manager shall be an agent of the Company for the purpose of its business and the act of a Manager, including the execution in the name of the Company of any instrument for apparently carrying on in the usual way the business of the Company, shall bind the Company unless such Manager lacks the authority to act for the Company and the person with whom he is dealing has knowledge of the fact that he has no such authority. No debt shall be contracted or liability incurred by or on behalf of the Company except by a Manager.

6.6 Dealing with Property. As provided in the Act, real and personal property owned or purchased by the Company shall be held and owned, and conveyances made, in the name of the Company.

6.8 Powers of the Managers.

6.8.1 The Managers shall have all necessary rights, powers and authority to manage the affairs of the Company and shall be the authorized representative of the Company in day-to-day administration of the rights and obligations of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managers shall have the power and authority to bring and defend law suits as shall be necessary or desirable in connection therewith, and to take any and all actions which shall be necessary or desirable in connection therewith. The Managers may delegate day-to-day administration to a person of their choosing and may hire such advisers including, without limitations, investment advisers, bookkeepers, accountants and attorneys, to advise them regarding Company matters.

6.8.2 If approved by both the Managers and a 66% Consent, the Managers may establish a capital acquisition reserve to provide funds for future investments.

6.9 Transactions with Managers and Members. A Member or the Managers may lend money to, act as surety for, and transact other business with the Company and, subject to other applicable law, shall have the same rights and obligations with respect thereto as a person who is not a Member or a Manager; provided, however, that any transaction or agreement between the Company and a Manager or Member shall require a 66% Consent.

ARTICLE VII

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a Manager, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company against any liability asserted against or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

(3) If the Company qualifies to elect pursuant to IRC Section 6221(b) (or successor provision) to have Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the IRC not apply to any federal income tax audits and other proceedings, the Manager shall cause the Company to make such election.

(4) If any “partnership adjustment” (as defined in IRC Section 6241(2)) is determined with respect to the Company, the Tax Representative shall promptly notify the Members upon the receipt of a notice of final partnership adjustment, and shall take such actions as directed by a majority of the Members in writing within 10 business days after the receipt of such notice, including whether to file a petition in Tax Court, cause the Company to pay the amount of any such adjustment under IRC Section 6225, or make the election under IRC Section 6226.

8.1 Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon (a) the 66% Consent of the Members, or (b) after the death of Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, upon the agreement of at least two of the Managers.

8.2 Liquidation of the Company. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Company shall be liquidated by the Managers, as liquidating agent. The Managers shall cause to be filed a statement of dissolution with the Colorado Secretary of State in accordance with the Act. Each Member shall immediately pay its unpaid share of any capital contribution call theretofore made. Company assets shall thereupon be applied in the following order:

8.2.1 to the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company to creditors, including Members, provided any such debts to Members or Managers were approved in accordance with Section 6.9 and are not a return of capital or profit;

8.2.2 to establishing any reserves that the Managers deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company, which reserves may be paid over by the Managers to an escrow agent to be held for (a) distribution in payment of the aforementioned contingencies, and (b) upon expiration of such period as the Managers may deem advisable, for distribution in the manner provided for herein;

8.2.3 to the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company to Members other than for capital and profits and other than those which qualify for repayment under Section 8.2.1;

8.2.4 to the Members in proportion to each Member’s Capital Account; provided, however, that if there is any outstanding obligation of a Member to contribute additional capital to the Company, an amount equal to such deficit shall be paid to the other Members before any distribution is made under this Section 8.2 to the Member with a capital account deficit.

8.3 Distributions in Kind. Any distribution in kind shall be treated as though the assets distributed had been sold at fair market value and any deemed gain or loss will be reflected in the capital accounts as though the property had actually been sold. Such fair market value shall be determined by the agreement of all the Members or, absent such agreement, by an appraiser selected by the Managers.

8.4 Termination. Upon completion of liquidation the Company will cease further activity and terminate.

8.5 Continuation Upon Death. After the death of an individual Member, within six months after his or her appointment, the Personal Representative of the deceased member’s estate, shall offer to sell the deceased Member’s or revocable trust’s Ownership Interest in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.7 as if such Personal Representative were the Member, unless, by reason of such deceased Member’s death, the deceased Member’s share is distributable to one or more of the other Members. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply with respect to the Ownership Interest of a revocable trust Member under Section 9.2 upon the death of the trust’s settlor, as though the settlor were a deceased individual Member who died owning the trust’s Ownership Interest and the Trustee had been appointed as Personal Representative of the settlor’s estate on the date of the settlor’s death.

8.5.1 Within sixty (60) days after the Company Option Period as defined in Section 9.7.3, the Members or the Company, as applicable, who agree to purchase the Ownership Interest of the deceased Member shall, pay to the estate of the deceased Member, the fair market value of the deceased Member’s Ownership Interest as of the date of death, as determined pursuant to Section 8.6. If the Members agree to dissolve the Company under Section 8.1 at any time prior to expiration of the period provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall be inapplicable; and the provisions of Section 8.2 shall govern the disposition of the Company, with the deceased Member being treated as a continuing Member.

8.5.2 In the event that neither the Members nor the Company agree to purchase the Ownership Interest of the deceased Member, such Ownership Interest shall pass to (a) the devisees or heirs, as the case may be, of the deceased Member, or (b) the named beneficiaries of the revocable trust Member (in each case, the “Beneficiaries”). If so transferred, such Ownership Interest shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement in the hands of the Beneficiaries; and each Beneficiary, or such Beneficiary’s legal representative, shall be required to execute a copy of this Agreement prior to receiving such Ownership Interest. The Beneficiary shall not be entitled to vote his or her Ownership Interest or otherwise exercise the privileges of Membership. A Beneficiary shall merely own an economic interest in the Company unless the remaining Members agree to admit the Beneficiary as a Member pursuant to Section 3.2.

8.6 The fair market value of a deceased Member’s Ownership Interest for purposes of Section 8.5 shall be determined in the same manner as provided in Section 9.5.2 as if a Member resigned.

If, at the end of the Company’s Option Period (as defined in Section 9.7.3 below), the Members and the Company have not agreed to acquire all of the offered Ownership Interests, then all of such Ownership Interests may be transferred to the Member who originally agreed to acquire the Ownership Interests in compliance with Section 9.3.3.

9.5 Transfers of Ownership Interests upon Resignation of a Member.

9.5.1 In the event that any Member shall resign while owning an Ownership Interest, such Ownership Interest shall be offered to the other Members and the Company pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 9.7. If, at the end of the Final Member Option Period (as defined in Section 9.7.2 below), any Ownership Interest remains which has not been purchased by the other Members, the Company may purchase all of such remaining Ownership Interest from the resigned Member as it so chooses, and such Member shall sell all of such remaining Ownership Interest to the Company, at the purchase price set forth in Section 9.5.2.

9.5.2 The purchase price of the Ownership Interest shall equal the value of the Company based on a valuation done by an independent appraiser selected by and paid by the Company multiplied by the percent of Ownership Interest with the appropriate discounts for minority interests and lack of marketability. The terms for the payment of the purchase price in the event the Company or the Members purchase such remaining Ownership Interest shall be as set forth in Section 9.6.

9.5.3 A Member who resigns as a Member and whose full Ownership Interest is not purchased in accordance with this Section shall cease to be a Member as of the date of his or her resignation and shall be relieved of any rights or obligations under this Agreement arising subsequent to the date of such resignation, except a right to distributions attributable to the unpurchased Ownership Interest.

9.6 Payment of Purchase Price in Event of A Member’s Resignation. Within sixty (60) days after the Company Option Period as defined in Section 9.7.3, the Members or the Company, as applicable, who agree to purchase the Ownership Interest of a Member who has resigned as a Member shall pay to such resigned Member the fair market value of such

Member’s Ownership Interest (as determined in the same manner as provided by Section 9.5.2) as of the date agreed upon by a majority of the Ownership Interests.

9.7 Terms of Right of First Refusal.

9.7.1 Before any Member may transfer or dispose of all or any of his or her Ownership Interest hi a transaction subject to the provisions of this Section, such Member must first offer such Ownership Interest to the other Members on an equal basis. The offering price shall be as stated in Sections 8.6, 9.3 and 9.5.2 as applicable. Such offer shall be held open by such Member for a period of 20 days from the date of such offer, which period shall be known as the “Member Option Period.”

9.7.2 The other Members may, within the Member Option Period, accept such offer as to all or any part of the Ownership Interest so offered. In the event such offer is not accepted by one of the other Members as to all of the Ownership Interest so offered by the end of the Member Option Period, then the remaining other Members shall have an option to purchase equally, or in such proportions as they may agree, the Ownership Interest with respect to which the other Member did not exercise his or her option, such option to run for an additional period of 5 days, which 5-day period shall be known as the “Final Member Option Period.”

9.7.3 In the event that such offer to the Members is not accepted by the Members as to al l the Ownership Interest at the end of the final Member Option Period, the Ownership Interest shall be offered to the Company at the same price and on the same terms for an additional period of 10 days, which period shall be known as the “Company Option Period.”

9.8 Effect of Incapacity of Member. In the event of a Member’s legal incapacity, the Member’s Ownership Interest may be held and administered by the Member’s conservator, financial guardian, or agent under a duly executed durable power of attorney in accordance with the laws of the incapacitated Member’s domicile; and an assumption of the Ownership Interest by the Member’s legal representative in this manner shall not constitute a transfer subject to the provisions of this Article. However, such legal representative shall not be entitled to vote his or her Ownership Interest or otherwise exercise the privileges of Membership on behalf of the incapacitated Member. During the Member’s incapacity, the Member, through the Member’s legal representative, shall merely own an economic interest in the Company

9.9 Unauthorized Transfers. If a Member attempts, or allows to occur, a transfer in violation of this Article, such attempted or allowed transfer shall be null and void in all respects, and such Member shall be liable to the Company and the other Members for all damages that they may sustain as a result of such attempted or allowed transfer.
