3.	Capital Contributions

3.1. Initial Capital Contributions. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Members shall contribute to the Company cash or other valuable consideration in the amounts respectively set forth opposite their names on Exhibit A.

3.2. Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) Additional Capital Contributions may only be requested by the Management Committee as funds are needed to meet the operating and management expenses and financial obligations of the Company. In the event the Management Committee determines that additional capital is so needed, each Member shall be entitled to contribute all its share of additional capital in proportion to its then current Company Percentage, subject to the limitations set forth below. This additional funding is due and payable on the date set forth in a written notice requesting an additional Capital Contribution given by the Management Committee to each Member, which date shall not be less than 30 days from the date of the notice.

(b) Should any Member make a portion but not all of its initial Capital Contribution or any subsequent additional Capital Contribution, or fail to pay such contributions when due, the other Members may contribute pro rata, according to their then current respective Company Percentages and Interests, an aggregate amount equal to the capital contribution declined by the nonparticipating Members, thereby increasing in such proportion the other Members’ Company

Percentages and Interests. In such event, the nonparticipating Member’s company Percentage and Interest shall be diluted accordingly and such Member shall be limited in its right to provide future additional capital in proportion to its Company Percentages and Interests as so revised.

3.3. Form of Capital Contributions. Funding of additional Capital Contributions to the Company shall be in cash and not real or personal property.

3.4 No Interest. Interest Holders shall not be paid interest on their Capital Contributions.

3.5. Return of Capital Contribution. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Interest Holder shall have the right to receive any return of any Capital Contribution.

3.6. Form of Distribution. If an Interest Holder is entitled to receive a Distribution, the Company may distribute cash, notes, property or a combination thereof to the Interest Holder.

3.7. Loans. Any Member may, at any time, make or cause a loan to be made to the Company in any amount and on those terms upon which the Company and the Member agree.

3.8. Issuance of Additional Units.

(a) The Members acknowledge that from time to time the Members may be asked by the Management Committee to undertake financial risks with respect to their interest beyond additional capital contributions including, without limitation, (1) making financial or performance guaranties to third party lenders or vendors for the benefit of the Company, (2) deferring or restructuring payments or distributions due from the Company pursuant to business dealings and undertakings by the Company or (3) taking consideration or distribution in Units rather than cash pursuant to business dealings and undertakings of the Company.

(b) In the event the Management Committee determines that a transaction involves financial risk as contemplated by Section 3.8(a) (a “Risk Transaction”), the Management Committee shall give notice to each Member of (1) the nature and aggregate amount of the Risk Transaction (2) each Member’s share of the Risk Transaction, (3) the number of Units to be issued to each Member undertaking its share of the Risk Transaction and (4) the date each Member must respond with a decision to undertake or forego its entire share of the Risk Transaction. An untimely response, a timely negative response, or a timely response to undertake anything less than its share of the Risk Transaction from a Member shall be deemed a decision to forego the Risk Transaction, and a later request by such Member to participate to any extent in the Risk Transaction, if available, and to be issued additional Units therefor, may be agreed to or rejected by the Management Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. To the extent a Member undertakes its share (or desires to and does take on more than its share) of the Risk Transaction, the number of Units held by a non-participating Member shall remain unchanged and the number of Units of each Member who undertakes its share (or more than its share) of the Risk Transaction shall be increased by the number of Units to be issued and

described in Section 3.8(b)(3) subject to further increase for undertaking more than its share of the Risk Transaction, and, thereafter, the Management Committee may amend Exhibit “A” to reflect the change in Units and percentages. (3.8 is an amendment to the Operating Agreement).

4.	*CapitalAccounts; Allocations and Distributions*

4.1. Capital Accounts. A Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Interest Holder in such Interest Holder’s Capital Account Amount.

4.2. Tax Allocations. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.4 for any taxable year of the Company, Profit and Loss shall be apportioned ratably to each day of the Company’s taxable year and each day’s share of such Profit and Loss shall be allocated to the Interest Holders in proportion to their respective Percentages on such days.

4.3. Distributions. At such time as the Company achieves a cumulative net profit, funds of the Company from all sources, less appropriate reserves as are determined by the Management Committee to be reasonably necessary for future administrative and operating expenses, loan payments and other costs and expenses and contingencies, shall be distributed on an annual basis, or more frequently if so determined by the Management Committee. Each Distribution pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be made to the Interest Holders in proportion to the daily weighted average of their respective Percentages as in effect from time to time during the relevant time period. In the event that a Member declines to draw its Distribution in whole or in part, the undistributed portion of the Distribution shall be treated as a non-interest bearing demand loan to the Company and not as an addition to such Member’s Capital Account.

4.4. Tax Compliance. It is the intention of the Members that each Member’s distributive share of Profits and Losses shall be determined and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of this Agreement. Therefore, if the Management Committee reasonably determines that the allocation provisions of this Agreement are unlikely to be respected for Federal income tax purposes, due to the application of Internal Revenue Code Sections 704(b) and (c) or otherwise, the Management Committee shall recommend appropriate amendments to this Agreement in order to effectuate the allocation provisions contemplated herein. The following shall apply to all allocations:

(a) Except as set forth in IRS Regulation Section 1 .704-2(f)(2), (3) and (4), if, during any taxable year, there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain, each Interest Holder, prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Section 4, shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to that Interest Holder’s share of the net decrease of Minimum Gain, computed in accordance with IRS Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations of gross income and gain pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of the Regulations promulgated under Internal Revenue Code Section 752), to the extent of the Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain for the taxable year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation pursuant to this

Section 4.4(a) shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under IRS Regulation Section 1.704-2(f).

(b) No Interest Holder shall be allocated Losses or deductions if the allocation causes an Interest Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. If an Interest Holder receives (1) an allocation of Loss or deduction (or item thereof) or (2) any distribution which causes the Interest Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year, then all items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) for that taxable year shall be allocated to that Interest Holder before any other allocation is made of Company items for that taxable year, in the amount and in the proportions required to eliminate the excess as quickly as possible. This Section 4.4(b) is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the “qualified income offset” provisions of the Regulations promulgated under Internal Revenue Code Section 704(b).

(c) In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, as well as IRS Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3), income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed contributed) to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Interest Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the Company for federal tax purposes and its fair market value at the date of contribution (or deemed contribution). If the adjusted book value of any Company asset is adjusted as provided herein, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to the asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal tax purposes and its adjusted book value in the manner required under Internal Revenue Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(d) To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to IRS Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and the gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that Section of the IRS Regulations.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for a taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Interest Holders in proportion to their Percentages.

(f) Any Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction for any taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holder who bears the risk of loss with respect to the loan to which the Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction is attributable in accordance with IRS Regulation Section 1.704-2(b).

(g) To the extent any compensation paid to any Member by the Company, including any fees payable to any Member pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof, is determined by the Internal

Revenue Service not to be a guaranteed payment under Internal Revenue Code Section 707(c) or is not paid to the Member other than in the Entity’s capacity as a Member within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 707(a), the Member shall be specially allocated gross income of the Company in an amount equal to the amount of that compensation, and the Member’s Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect the payment of that compensation.

(h) If an Interest Holder’s Interest is reduced (provided the reduction does not result in a complete termination of the Interest Holder’s Interest), the Interest Holder’s share of the Company’s “unrealized receivables” and “substantially appreciated inventory” (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 751) shall not be reduced, so that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, that portion of the Profit otherwise allocable upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 9 hereof which is taxable as ordinary income (recaptured) for federal tax purposes shall, to the extent possible without increasing the total gain to the Company or to any Interest Holder, be specially allocated among the Interest Holders in proportion to the deductions (or basis reductions treated as deductions) giving rise to such recapture. Any questions as to the aforesaid allocation of ordinary income (recapture), to the extent such questions cannot be resolved in the manner specified above, shall be resolved by the Members.

(i) All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1446 or any other provision of federal, state or local tax law shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Interest Holders for all purposes under this Agreement.

4.5. Liquidation and Dissolution. (a) If the Company is liquidated, the assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Interest Holders in accordance with the balances in their respective Capital Accounts, after taking into account Section 9.2, and the allocations of Profit or Loss pursuant to Section 4.2, if any, and Distributions, if any, of cash or property pursuant to Section 4.3.

(b) No Interest Holder shall be obligated to restore a Negative Capital Account.

4.6. General. (a) The Management Committee shall not make any Distribution under Section 4.3 if after giving effect to the Distribution: (1) the Company would not be able to pay its debts as the debts become due in the usual course of business; or (2) the Company does not have enough assets to pay its total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed if the affairs of the Company were to be wound up at the time of the distribution to satisfy any preferential rights that are superior to the rights of Members receiving the Distribution.

(b) If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind to the Interest Holders, those assets shall be valued on the basis of their fair market value, and any Interest Holder entitled to any interest in those assets shall receive that interest as a tenant-in-common with all other Interest Holders so entitled. Unless the Members otherwise agree, the fair market value of the assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser who shall be selected by the Members. The Profit or Loss for each unsold asset shall be determined as if the asset had been sold at its fair market value, and the Profit or Loss shall be allocated as provided in Section 4.2 and shall be

properly credited or charged to the Capital Accounts of the Interest Holders prior to the distribution of the assets in liquidation pursuant to Section 4.4.

(c) The Management Committee may base a determination that a Distribution is not prohibited under Section 4.6(a) upon the following: (1) financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable under the circumstances; or (2) a fair valuation of assets and liabilities or other reasonable method approved by the Management Committee.

(d) Except as provided in this Section 4.6(d), the effect of a Distribution under Section 4.3 is measured as of (1) the date the Distribution is authorized if the payment occurs not more than 120 days after the date of Authorization; or (2) the date the payment is made if it occurs more than 120 days after the date of Authorization. The Company’s indebtedness to a Member incurred by reason of an obligation to make a Distribution in accordance with Sections 4.3 and 4.6(a) is at parity with the Company’s indebtedness to its general unsecured creditors, except to the extent subordinated by agreement. If terms of the indebtedness provide that payment of principal and interest is to be made only if and to the extent that payment of a Distribution to Members could then be made under Sections 4.3 and 4.6(a), indebtedness of the Company, including indebtedness issued as a Distribution, is not a liability for purposes of determination made under Section 4.6(a). If the indebtedness is issued as a Distribution, each payment of principal or interest on the indebtedness is treated as a Distribution, the effect of which is measured on the date the payment is actually made.

(e) The Members shall, upon the advice of the Company’s tax counsel, amend this Section 4 from time to time as necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue Code and the Regulations promulgated under Internal Revenue Code Section 704(b); provided, however, that no amendment shall materially affect Distributions to an Interest Holder without the Interest Holder’s prior written consent.

Not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before each annual or special meeting, the Management Committee shall give written notice of the meeting to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice shall state the time, place and purpose of the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each Member who is entitled to notice waives notice if before or after the meeting the Member signs a waiver of the notice which is filed with the records of Members’ meetings, or is present at the meeting in person or by proxy. The presence in person or by proxy of the Members representing at least a Supermajority Vote shall constitute a quorum (“Two-Thirds Quorum”) for meetings and special meetings.

The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by the Members entitled to take such action, and delivered to the Company for inclusion in its records. A consent signed by a Member entitled to vote has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document. Each Member shall receive the written consent describing the action to be taken in the manner set forth in Section 11.2. All Members entitled to

vote on the action who do not participate in taking the action shall be given written notice of the action not more than ten (10) days after the taking of the action without a meeting, but the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate the action so taken. (Section 5.5 c is an Amendment to the Operating Agreement)

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, wherever the act requires unanimous consent to approve or take any action, that consent shall mean the consent of at least seventy-five (75) of the outstanding Company Percentages.

5.6. Personal Services. No Member shall be required to perform services for the Company solely by virtue of being a Member. Unless approved by the Members, no Member shall be entitled to compensation for services performed for the Company. Upon substantiation of the amount and purpose thereof, however, the Member shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the activities of the Company.

5.7. Members Duties.

The organization of the Company shall be without prejudice to the Members’ respective rights (or the rights of the Members’ respective Affiliates) to maintain, expand or diversify such other business or activities and to receive and enjoy profits or compensation therefrom. Each Member waives any rights the Member might otherwise have to share or participate in such other business or activities of any other Member or its Affiliates.

(c) Each Member understands and acknowledges that the conduct of the Company’s business may involve business dealings and undertakings with Members and their Affiliates. In any such instance, those dealings and undertakings shall be at arm’s length and on commercially reasonable terms.

A Member will not be liable for any loss to the Company or the Members by reason of any act or failure to act unless the Member was guilty of willful misconduct or gross negligence, or if the loss occurred as the result of an action by the Member which was not authorized by the Company.

6.8 Members’ Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify a Member against any

loss (excluding a Member’s share of the Company’s net operating losses) or damage incurred by a Member (including legal expenses) by reason of any acts performed or not performed by a Member for and on behalf of the Company and authorized by the Company, unless the Member was guilty of willful misconduct or gross negligence. Each Member shall indemnify the Company against any damages incurred by reason of that Member’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or by reason of acts by the Member which were not authorized by the Company.

7.	Transfers of Interests

7.1. Limitation on Transfer, - Right of First Refusal. Any Member may sell, transfer, assign or exchange all or any part of its Company Interest to an Affiliate thereof at any time without any consent or restriction from the other Members. Otherwise, there shall be no sale, transfer, assignment or exchange of the whole or any portion of any Member’s Interests without the prior written consent of the other Members, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, before any Member sells, transfers, assigns or exchanges any part of its Company Interests to a non-Affiliate of such Member, it shall offer, by giving written notice to the other Members, that Interest to all of the other Members for the value at which and the terms under which such non-Affiliate has offered pursuant to a bona-fide offer in writing to pay for such Interest. Each Member shall initially be entitled to purchase that fraction of the offering Member’s Interest equal to its Company Percentage divided by the Company Percentages of all nonselling Members. If any Member declines to exercise its right of purchase hereunder, the other Members electing to exercise that right shall be entitled to purchase that portion of the Interest intended to be sold that has been declined by the other Member in amount allowable determined pursuant to reapplication of the principles set forth in this Section 7, excluding from consideration the Company Interests of the selling and declining Members. Each nonselling Member shall notify the other Members and the selling Member, in writing, of its intention to exercise or not to exercise its purchase rights hereunder within 30 days following receipt of the offer of sale. Subsequent written notifications, if necessary, shall be required within 10 days after receipt by the Members which have not previously declined to exercises their rights of purchase, of their intentions with respect to that portion of the selling Member’s Company Interests still subject to a right of purchase. No portion of an interest offered under this Section 7 shall be permitted to be purchased by any Member pursuant to this Section 7 unless the entire Interest offered is purchased by one or more Members.

For purposes of this Section 7, an assignment shall be deemed to have occurred if in a single transaction or in a series of transactions any interest in a Member (whether stock, partnership, interest of otherwise) is transferred, diluted, reduced or otherwise affected. An assignment shall not be deemed to have occurred (a) due to the transfer of any or all of the outstanding capital stock of any corporate entity holding an ownership interest in a Member; or (b) due to the mortgage of all or any part of a Company Interest to a bank or trust company licensed pursuant to any state or federal banking laws.

In the event that any Member reasonably believes that an assignment of all or a portion of another Member’s Interest has occurred, such Member shall be entitled upon three days notice to such Member to inspect and copy the records of such Member relating to the ownership of such

Member’s Interest. The intent of this Section 7 is to indicate the agreement of the Members that an assignment of all or a portion of a Member’s Interest will have occurred if all or a portion of the Member’s Interest is transferred to an entity which is not an Affiliate of the Member.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 7, an exchange pursuant to a withdrawal described in Section 8.1 with respect to the Membership Interest of a Member shall be governed solely by the provisions of Section 8 and not Section 7.

7.2. Substitute Member. No assignee, purchaser or transferee of the whole or any portion of any Members’ Interest shall have the right to become a substitute Member, unless:

(a) The transferring Member has designated such intention in a written instrument of assignment, sale or transfer, a copy of which has been delivered to the other Members;

(b) The transferring Member has obtained the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(c) The entity acquiring the Member’s Interests has adopted and agreed in writing to be bound by all of the provisions hereof, as the same may have been amended;

(d) All documents reasonably required by the Company and the Act to effect the substitution of the entity acquiring the Member’s interest as a Member shall have been executed and filed at no cost to the Company;

(e) Any necessary prior consents have been obtained from any regulatory authorities; and

(f) Any necessary prior consents have been obtained from any entity which has provided financing to the Company subject to the right to approve the substitution.

Provided, however, that subsections (a) and (b) above shall not apply in the case of an assignment or sale to an Affiliate of the assigning or selling Member.

7.3. Indemnification. Each Member transferring a Members’ Interest hereby indemnifies the Company and the other Members against any and all loss, attorneys’ fees, damage or expense (including, without limitation, tax liabilities or loss of tax benefits) arising, directly or indirectly, as a result of any transfer or purported transfer in violation of any provision contained in this Section 7.

7.4. Distribution and Allocation Subsequent to Transfer.

(a) The Profit and Losses of the Company attributable to any Company Interests acquired by reason of the assignment of the Company Interests or substitution of a Member with respect to that interest, and any distributions made with respect thereto, shall be allocated between the assignor and assignee based upon the length of time during any fiscal year of the

Company, as measured by the effective date of the assignment or substitution, that the Company interests so assigned or with respect to which there is a substitution was owned by each of them.

(b) The effective date of an assignment, sale, transfer or exchange of the Member’s Interests or any portion thereof shall be the date designated by the transferring Member.

8.	Withdrawal or Death of a Member

The Company and the withdrawing Member may agree on a closing date; however, such closing date shall not exceed thirty (30) days from the date of the event or vote, as the case may be, leading to such withdrawal. The Company and the withdrawing Member shall execute such documents as reasonably requested by each party to evidence the transaction and the transfer of the Membership Interest from the withdrawing Member to the Company. If the withdrawal of a Member is pursuant to the second sentence of Section 8.1(a), the withdrawing Member shall, as of the date of the requisite number of votes of the Members voting for withdrawal, no longer have any right, title or interest in the Company and the Membership Interest shall be deemed to have been redeemed by the Company and transferred to the Company on such date even though the book value for such interest has not been determined or paid.

The Company shall hold harmless the withdrawing Member or its legal representative from any Company liabilities arising out of events occurring after the date of withdrawal. In no event shall the withdrawing Member or legal representative of the Member be entitled to any consideration in addition to or in lieu of the consideration as established in this Section 8.
