OPERATING AGREEMENT
OF
SATTEL COMMUNICATIONS LLC
a California limited liability company
THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT is made and entered into as
of the 1st day of April, 1996, by and among Sattel Communications
Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Sattel") and those individuals
entering into Agreements Regarding Award of Class B Units
referred to in Section 2.3, below, concurrently with this
Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Exhibit A, hereto.
WHEREAS, Sattel, in order to encourage certain key
employees of Sattel and other key contributing individuals to put
forth their best effort for the success of Sattel, wish to give
said persons an equity stake in the business; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the most effective
way to achieve this goal is to transfer the assets of Sattel to a
newly-formed California limited liability company, Sattel
Communication LLC (the "Company"), and to award such persons
rights to profits' interests therein subject to certain
restrictions.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
made herein, the parties hereby agree to manage and operate the
Company pursuant to this Agreement as follows:
ARTICLE I
General Provisions
1.1. Name. The name of the Company is "Sattel
Communications LLC."
1.2. Purpose. The purpose of the Company is to engage
in any lawful act or activity for which a limited liability
company may be organized under the California Act.
1.3. Term. Unless dissolved earlier pursuant to other
provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall dissolve on
December 31, 2046.
1
1.4. Registered Office and Agent.
(a) Initial Office and Agent in California. The
Company's registered office shall initially be 0000 Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and the Company's
registered agent shall initially be Xxxxx Xxxxxxx.
(b) Changes. The Board of Directors may from
time to time designate a new registered agent and may from
time to time change the registered office if the Board of
Directors determines such appointment or change to be
appropriate.
ARTICLE II
Capital and Voting
2.1. Units. The equity of the Company shall be
divided into Class A Units and Class B Units. Each Class A Unit
and Class B Unit shall be entitled to one vote on all matters put
to a vote or the consent of the Members.
2.2. Class A Units. In exchange for the Capital
Contribution set forth on Exhibit C hereto (subject to assumption
by the Company of the liabilities specified in such Exhibit),
Sattel will be the holder of 8,000 Class A Units. The execution
of documentation effecting such Capital Contribution (subject to
assumption of such liabilities) will occur concurrently with the
execution of this Agreement (to be signed on behalf of the
Company by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company).
2.3. Class B Units. No Capital Contributions shall be
required in exchange for Class B Units, except as may be required
by the Board of Directors with respect to Class B Units awarded
in the future as provided below. Concurrently with the execution
of this Agreement, certain individuals are entering into
Agreements Regarding Award of Class B Units, having varying
terms, under which they are becoming members holding Class B
Units and parties to this Agreement. Each such agreement, as
well as each future agreement regarding the award of additional
Class B Units, will be considered a part of this Agreement, and
incorporated herein by reference, with respect to rights and
obligations as between the Company and the individual entering
into the agreement. The Board of Directors of the Company may in
the future award additional Class B Units to key employees of the
Company as well as other individuals as determined to be
appropriate by the Board of Directors from time to time. Such
2
awards will result in a dilution of the other Members' interests
in the Company.
2.4. Return of Capital. No Member is entitled to
withdraw from the Company or receive a return of any part of his
Capital Contribution, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement. No member of the Company has the right to demand that
distributions be in kind.
2.5. Additional Capital Contributions. No Member may
be required to make additional Capital Contributions. If the
Board of Directors determines that the Company needs additional
equity capital, each Member shall be entitled to contribute that
portion of the required equity capital as equals the percentage
of Units which he holds. The Board of Directors may award
additional Class A Units in connection with such contributions.
Failure to make such contribution will result in a dilution of
any non-contributing Member's interest in the Company.
2.6. Members. The members of the company are Sattel,
those individuals entering into Agreements Regarding Award of
Class B Units referred to in Section 2.3, any other person or
entity to whom Class A Units or Class B Units are awarded under
this Article II (such person or entity to become a member upon
such award), and any successors thereto admitted as members to
the Company in accordance with this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
Capital Accounts
3.1. Capital Accounts. There shall be established and
maintained with respect to each Member a capital account
("Capital Account") in accordance with the following:
(a) Credits. To each Member's Capital Account
there shall be credited such Member's Capital Contributions
and such Member's allocable share of Profits pursuant to
Article V, below.
(b) Debits. To each Member's Capital Account
there shall be debited the amount of cash and the Asset
Value of any property distributed to such Member and such
Member's allocable share of Losses pursuant to Article V,
below.
(c) Transfers. In the event any Member assigns
all or any part of his Units in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, his transferee shall succeed to the Capital
3
Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the
transferred Units.
3.2. Interpretation. The provisions of Section 3.1,
above, and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the
maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with
Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be
interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
ARTICLE IV
Distributions
4.1. Current Distributions.
(a) Current Tax Distributions. To the extent
permitted by law and consistent with the Company's
obligations to its creditors as determined by the Board of
Directors, the Company shall make Tax Distributions on or
before the Tax Distribution Dates. The aggregate amount of
the Tax Distribution made with respect to any given Tax
Distribution Date shall be the product of (i) the estimated
federal taxable income of the Company under the provisions
of the Code, for the Fiscal Period ending on the last day of
the calendar month immediately preceding the Tax Distribu-
tion Date and commencing on the first day of the calendar
month that includes the immediately previous Tax Distribu-
tion Date, multiplied by (ii) the Tax Rate. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent the Company has had an
estimated federal taxable loss for any prior Fiscal Period
in that Fiscal Year, the amount in clause (i) above shall be
reduced by that portion of the loss remaining after reducing
taxable income for prior Fiscal Periods in such Fiscal Year
for the loss. Each Member shall receive a Tax Distribution
proportional with the amount of federal taxable income to be
allocated to such Member pursuant to Article V hereof.
(b) Additional Tax Distributions. In the event
any income tax return of the Company, as a result of an
audit or otherwise, reflects items of income, gain, loss, or
deduction which are different from the amounts estimated
pursuant to Section 4.1(a) above with respect to the Fiscal
Year of such return in a manner that results in additional
income or gain of the Company being allocated to the
Members, an additional Tax Distribution shall be made under
the principles of Section 4.1(a) above, except that (i) the
last day of the calendar month in which such adjustment
occurs shall be treated as a Tax Distribution Date, and (ii)
4
the amount of such additional income or gain shall be
treated as the federal taxable income of the Company.
(c) Cash Available for Distribution. Upon the
approval of the Board of Directors, Cash Available for
Distribution shall be distributed to the Members in
proportion to the number of Units held by each Member.
4.2. Distributions of Cash Available from a Capital
Event. Cash Available from a Capital Event shall be distributed
among the Members as follows:
(a) First, an amount equal to (or in proportion
to if less than) $2,525,253 shall be distributed 99% to the
Class A Members and 1% to the Class B Members in proportion
to the number of Units held by the respective classes of
Members; and
(b) The balance, if any, shall be distributed to
the Members in proportion to the number of Units held by
each Member.
4.3. Liquidating Distribution. In the event the
Company is liquidated pursuant to Article IX, below, distribu-
tions pursuant to Section 8.3(d), below, shall be distributed to
the Members in accordance with their Capital Account balances,
after making the adjustments for allocations under Article V,
below, up to and including the date of the liquidating
distribution.
ARTICLE V
Allocation of Profits and Losses
5.1. Allocation of Profits. Except as provided in
Exhibit D hereto, Profits shall be allocated among the Members in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) First, 99% to the Class A Units and 1% to the
Class B Units, in proportion to the number of Units held by
the respective classes of Members, until the Class A Units
have been allocated Profits which equal the sum of (i) the
amount of Losses allocated to the Class A Members pursuant
to Section 5.2 hereof (expressed as a positive number) and
(ii) $2.5 million less (iii) their initial Capital Accounts;
and
(b) The balance among the Members in proportion
to the Units held by each Member.
5
5.2. Allocation of Losses. Except as provided in
Exhibit D hereto, Losses shall be allocated among the Members in
proportion to the allocation of Profits pursuant to Section 5.1
above, except that to the extent Losses exceed all prior Profits
reduced by prior distributions pursuant to Article IV hereof,
such Losses shall be allocated among the Members holding Class A
Units in proportion to the Units held by each Class A Member,
provided, however, that no allocation shall be made to any Member
to the extent that such allocation would produce an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit within the meaning of Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations.
ARTICLE VI
Management of the Company
6.1. Authority and Powers of the Board of Directors.

this Agreement, the Members hereby delegate to the Board of
Directors, on behalf of and as agent for the Members, all of
the Member's rights and powers to do all acts necessary,
convenient or incidental to carrying out the business of the
Company. The Board of Directors shall have all of the
rights, powers and obligations of the members of a limited
liability company, the management of which has been reserved
to its members under the California Act.
(b) No Other Representatives. Except as other-
wise provided in this Agreement, only the Board of
Directors, and the Officers acting under its direction,
shall have the right, power and authority to act and
transact business on behalf of the Company, and no Member,
in his capacity as such, shall have the authority to act or
transact business on behalf of the Company in any manner.
6.2. Structure of the Board of Directors.
(a) Number, Tenure and Qualifications of Direc-
tors. The Directors shall be elected by Majority Consent.
The number of Directors of the Company shall be eight (8)
unless provided otherwise by Majority Consent. Members of
the Board of Directors need not be members of the Company.
(b) Withdrawal of Director. Unless otherwise
provided by Majority Consent, an individual shall cease to
be a Director upon the earliest to occur of any of the
following: (i) his voluntary resignation, which shall be
effective upon delivery of a written notice from him to the
6
Company unless the notice specifies a later effective date;
(ii) his removal by Majority Consent; or (iii) his death,
incapacity or inability to act as a Director for any reason.
(c) Effect of Withdrawal. If a Director ceases
to be a Director for any reason, the remaining Director or
Directors, if any, shall continue to act as such unaffected
thereby. Upon withdrawal of a Director the Members shall,
as promptly as practicable, choose a substitute Director as
provided in Section 6.2(a), above. If the Company at any
time lacks Directors, the Members shall perform the duties
of the Board of Directors by Majority Consent unless and
until the Members elect by Majority Consent a substitute
Director or Directors. The lack of Directors shall not
cause a dissolution or termination of the Company.
6.3. Actions by Board of Directors. Any actions of
the Board of Directors shall be taken in the manner set forth
below.
(a) Manner of Acting. The consent of the Direc-
tors to any act or failure to act may be given at a meeting
in which a majority in number of the Directors participate
in person or by telephone or other electronic means.
Consent to any act or failure to act shall be deemed given
at a meeting of the Board of Directors if approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors.
Alternatively, the Directors may act by unanimous written
consent without the need for a meeting.
(b) Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Directors
may be called by the president of the Company or by any one
Director. Meetings not held by electronic means shall be
held at the principal place of business of the Company or at
such other place as may be designated by a majority in
number of the Directors.
(c) Voting. Each Director shall be entitled to
one vote. Any Director abstaining from voting on a given
matter shall be deemed to have voted in the same manner as
the majority, if any, of the Directors not abstaining from
voting on that issue. Any Director having a personal stake,
other than the economic stake inuring to the Director solely
as a result of holding Units or of his employer holding
Units, in the outcome of an issue, including, but not
limited to, a personal stake as a transferor of Units, shall
abstain from voting on the issue unless all Directors have
such a personal stake.
7
(d) Notice. No matter shall be voted upon at a
meeting of the Board of Directors unless at least twenty-
four (24) hours notice of such matter is given or such
notice is waived by any Director not receiving it. A Direc-
tor shall be deemed to have waived notice of any matter
acted upon at any meeting he attends or in which he partici-
pates unless at the beginning of the meeting or promptly
upon commencement of his participation therein he objects to
the consideration of such matter because of lack of proper
notice. No prior notice shall be required for any action
taken by written consent of the Directors.
(e) Expenses. All reasonable and customary out-
of-pocket expenses incurred by a Director in connection with
the Company's business shall be paid by the Company or be
reimbursed to the Director by the Company.
(f) Emergency Actions. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Article VI, if Directors who could
authorize an action or decision at a duly called meeting
reasonably determine, in writing, that the Company is facing
a significant business emergency that requires immediate
action, those Directors may, without complying with gener-
ally applicable procedures for meetings or actions by
unanimous consent, authorize any action or decision that
they deem reasonably necessary to allow the Company to
benefit from a significant opportunity or to protect the
Company from significant loss or damage, provided that they
make reasonable efforts under the circumstances to contact
and consult all Directors concerning the action or decision
and the reason why the action or decision must be made
without observing generally applicable procedures.
6.4. Officers.
(a) Number of Officers. The Officers of the
Company may consist of the offices of chief executive
officer, president and chief operating officer, one or more

of the Company shall be appointed by the Board of Directors
for such term as is determined by the Board of Directors.

specified, they shall hold office until their removal or
resignation. The appointment of an Officer or the designa-
tion of a specified term does not grant to the Officer any
contract rights, and the Board of Directors may remove the

shall be without prejudice to any rights created pursuant to
an agreement, if any, with the individual so removed.

thereof shall be expressly delegated by the Board of
Directors to some other Officer or agent of the Company, or
shall be required by law to be otherwise signed or executed,
and he in general shall perform all duties incident to the
office of chief executive officer and such other duties as
may be prescribed by the Board of Directors from time to

Board of Directors, or in the absence of designation, then
in the order of their appointment), shall perform the duties
of the president and chief operating officer, and when so
acting, shall have all the powers of and be subject to all

Officers; Indemnification. No Director or Officer shall be
liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the
Company or the Members for any act or omission pursuant to the
10
authority granted by this Agreement if the Director or Officer,
as the case may be, acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority
granted to him by this Agreement and in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, provided that the Director or
Officer, as the case may be, shall not be relieved of liability
in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which he shall
have been finally adjudicated to have breached this Section 6.5
or violated Section 17153 of the California Act. The Company
shall defend, indemnify, save harmless and pay all judgments,
claims, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by the parties indemnified hereunder. The Company shall
advance costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
to the indemnified parties so long as each indemnified party

at a meeting in which a quorum of such Members participate

consent.

it may now own or hereinafter acquire, whether voluntarily or by
operation of law. Upon any such transfer, the Company
immediately shall be dissolved.
7.2. Transferability of Class B Units. No Member

Account and Units held by the affected Class B Unit holder.
8.2. Termination. Dissolution of the Company shall be

Certificate of Dissolution has been duly filed under the
California Act, the affairs of the Company have been wound up,
and the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided
in Section 8.3, below. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the
Company, prior to the liquidation and termination of the Company,
the business of the Company and the affairs of its Members, as
such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.
8.3. Distribution of Assets Upon Termination.
(a) Upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant

approved by Majority Consent as the liquidating trustee of
the Company (the "Liquidating Trustee")), shall proceed
diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and
distribute its assets in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.3(d).
13
(b) All saleable assets of the Company may be
sold in connection with any dissolution at public or private
sale or at such price and upon such terms as the designated
Officer or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, may
deem advisable. A Member or any partnership, corporation or
other entity in which a Member is in any way interested may
purchase assets at such sale. The designated Officer or the
Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may in accordance with Section 8.3(d)
distribute the assets of the Company in kind on the basis of
the fair market value thereof.
(c) Profits and Losses of the Company shall be
determined as of the end of the period of winding up in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall
be credited or charged to the respective Capital Accounts of
the Members.
(d) Upon the dissolution and winding up of the
Company, the assets of the Company shall be distributed in
the following order of priority to the extent available:
(i) First, to creditors of the Company in
satisfaction of any debts and liabilities of the
Company (except for any loans made by Members) whether
by payment or the establishment of any reserve which
the designated Officer or the Liquidating Trustee deems
necessary in its sole discretion to provide for any
contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or
obligations of the Company; at the expiration of such
period of time as the authorized Officer or the
Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, deems advis-
able, the balance remaining in any such reserve after
payment of any such liabilities and obligations shall
be distributed in the manner hereinafter set forth in
this Section 8.3(d);
(ii) Second, to the Members that have made
loans to the Company pro rata (in accordance with the
amount of principal of such loans then outstanding)
until each shall have received the outstanding princi-
pal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such loans;
and
(iii) Third, to the Members, in an amount
equal to the positive balances in their respective
Capital Accounts in proportion to such positive
balances.
14
All distributions pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) shall be made
no later than the later of (i) the end of the Fiscal Year during
which the liquidation of the Company occurs or (ii) 180 days
after the date of such liquidation.
8.4. Limitation on Liability. Each holder of a Unit
shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all distribu-
tions from the Company and the return of his Capital Contribution
thereto and shall have no recourse (upon dissolution or other-
wise) against any other Members, Officers, Directors or any of
their Affiliates.

EXHIBIT D
Allocations in Extraordinary Situations
This Exhibit sets forth certain allocations that will
apply to the extent and under the circumstances provided below in
lieu of the allocation provided in Article V of the Agreement.
In no event will an allocation or distribution under the
Agreement (including this Exhibit D) be made which results in, or
increases, an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of
the Fiscal Year to which such allocation or distribution relates.
Except as otherwise provided, capitalized terms have the
definitions provided with respect to the Agreement.
1. Special Allocations. The following special alloca-
tions shall be made in the following order:
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit, if
there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Fiscal
Period, each Member shall be specially allocated items of
income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary,
subsequent Fiscal Period) in an amount equal to such
Member's share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain,
determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(g) of the
Treasury Regulations. The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and
(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 1(a) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Exhibit, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt
during any Fiscal Period, each Member who has a share of the
Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such
Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, shall be
specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal
Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an
amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in
Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such
Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2) of the Treasury
Regulations. This Section 1(b) is intended to comply
with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section
1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.
(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any
Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or
Distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or (6), items of income and gain (including gross
income) shall be specially allocated to each such Member in
an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent
required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible,
provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 1(c)
shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member
would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all
other allocations provided for in this Exhibit have been
tentatively made as if this Section 1(c) were not in the
Agreement.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deduc-
tions for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the
Members in accordance with Article V of the Agreement.
(e) Imputed Interest. To the extent the Company
has taxable interest income or deduction with respect to any
obligation of a Member to the Company pursuant to Section
483, Sections 1271 through 1288, or Section 7872 of the
Code:
(i) Such interest income or deduction shall
be specially allocated to the Members to whom such
obligation relates; and
(ii) The amount of such interest income
or deduction shall be excluded from the Capital
Contributions credited or debited to such Member's
Capital Account in connection with payments of prin-
cipal with respect to such obligations.
(f) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of
Units. Any income, gain, loss, or deduction realized as a
direct or indirect result of the issuance of Units shall be
allocated among the Members so that, to the extent possible,
the net amount of such items, together with all other
allocations under the Agreement to each Member, shall be
equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to
each such Member if such items had not been realized.
2. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth
in Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 1(e) and 1(f), above, (the
"Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain
requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of
the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allo-
cations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations
or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss,
or deduction pursuant to this Section 2. Therefore, notwith-
standing any other provision of this Exhibit (other than the
Regulatory Allocations), the designated Officer shall make such
offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss, or deduc-
tion in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that, after
such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's Capital
Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital
Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory
Allocations were not part of this Exhibit. In exercising his
discretion under this Section 2, the designated Officer shall
take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections
1(a) and 1(b), above, that, although not yet made, are likely to
offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under
Sections 1(d), above.
3. Transfer of Units. In the event Units are
transferred pursuant to the Agreement during any Fiscal Period,
the Profits (or Losses) allocated to the Members for each such
Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the transferring Members
in proportion to the Units each holds from time to time during
such Fiscal Period in accordance with Section 706 of the Code,
using any convention permitted by law and selected by the
designated Officer.
4. Tax Allocations.
(a) Capital Contributions. In accordance with
Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect
to any Capital Contribution shall, solely for tax purposes,
be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the
Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Fair
Market Value.
(b) Adjustment of Asset Value. In the event the
Asset Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted, subse-
quent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with
respect to such asset shall take account of any variation
between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income
tax purposes and its Asset Value as so adjusted in the same
manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.
(c) Elections. Any elections or other decisions
relating to such allocations shall be made by the designated
Officer in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose
and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this
Section 4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and
local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
into account in computing, any Capital Account or share of
Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to
any provision of the Agreement.
5. Income Tax Consequences. The Members are aware
of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this
Exhibit and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereof
in reporting their shares of income and loss for income tax
purposes.
