11. Book Basis. The book basis (“Book Basis”) of an asset of the Company shall mean the asset’s adjusted tax basis, as determined for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that (i) if property is contributed to the capital of the Company, the initial Book Basis of such property shall be its fair market value on the date of contribution, as determined in good faith by the Members; (ii) if the Capital Accounts of the Company are adjusted (at the discretion of the Members) pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect the fair market value of the Company’s assets, the Book Basis of each such asset shall be adjusted to equal its fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Members as of the time of such adjustment in accordance with such Regulation; and (iii) the Book Basis of all assets shall be adjusted thereafter by depreciation and amortization as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(g).

14. Allocations of Profits and Losses.
(a) Except as provided in this Section 14, all income, loss, deductions and credits, and each and every item thereof, of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Membership Interests; provided, however, that upon a liquidation of the Company or upon a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, items of income, loss, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members in a manner intended (to the maximum extent possible) to cause the Capital Account balances of the Members to be in proportion to the ownership of Membership Interests at such time.
(b) In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and tax depreciation with respect to any
3
property which has a Book Basis different from its adjusted basis as determined for federal income tax purposes shall, solely for income tax purposes (and without adjusting any Member’s Capital Account therefor), be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company and the Book Basis of such property.
(c) The following special allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be made in the following order:
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 14, if there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain or partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2) during any taxable period, items of income and gain for such taxable period (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable periods) shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d), 1.704-2(f), 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i). The items to be so allocated, and the order in which such items must be allocated, shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 14(c)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(ii) If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), then items of income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such Member in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This Section 14(c)(ii) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” provision of the Regulation last cited and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(iii) Nonrecourse deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any fiscal year or other period shall be allocated among the Members under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e) in accordance with the Members’ respective Membership Interests.
(iv) Any partner nonrecourse deduction (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)) for any period shall be allocated to the Member that potentially bears an economic risk of loss with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable, all in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1) and (2).
(d) If any interest in the Company is transferred, or upon the admission or withdrawal of a Member, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the income or loss attributable to such interest in the Company for such calendar year shall be divided and allocated ratably between the Members on a daily basis.
4
(e) Any “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Membership Interests.
(f) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
15. Distributions. Distributions, other than distributions pursuant to a dissolution of the Company in accordance with Sections 25 and 26, shall be made to the Members at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Managing Members (based upon the available cash of the Company, as determined from time to time by the Members). Such distributions shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Membership Interests.
16. Management.
(a) The business and affairs of the Company shall be directed and managed by the Incumbent Members (the “Managing Members”), in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and the Managing Members shall have full, complete, sole and exclusive authority, power and discretion to make any and all decisions with respect thereto.

(c) The Managing Members shall not be entitled to compensation for services rendered to the Company, unless the Members unanimously agree to the contrary.
17. Officers. Officers of the Company may be appointed from time to time by the Managing Members. No officer need be a Member. Any officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Managing Members may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Managing Members may assign titles to particular officers and, unless the Managing Members decide otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a Colorado corporation, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such officer by the Managing Members and subject to all standards of care and restrictions applicable to the officers of a Colorado corporation under applicable law. Each officer shall hold office until his successor is duly designated and qualified or until his death or until he resigns or is removed by the Managing Members with or without cause. Any number of offices may be held by the same person.
18. Expenses. Upon proper written substantiation and verification, any Member shall be entitled to receive, out of Company funds available therefor, reimbursement of all amounts reasonably expended by it out of its own funds in payment of properly incurred Company obligations. Reimbursements pursuant to this section shall not be duplicative of payments under any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement.
19. Company Meetings.
(a) Regular meetings of the Members shall not be held; provided, however, special meetings of the Members may be called from time to time by any Member, such meetings to be held at the principal place of business of the Company. A notice with respect to each such meeting containing the place and date thereof and a proposed agenda therefor shall be given to each Member no earlier than 30 days and no later than 5 days prior to the scheduled date of such meeting (although each Member shall be entitled to waive such notice and raise issues at such meeting relating to the business and operations of the Company, even if such issues are not set forth in the agenda). The presence of a Member at a meeting shall constitute waiver of any
7
notice required to have been given unless such Member objects at the beginning of the meeting to the failure to give proper notice. Members may participate in a meeting of the Company by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment permitting all persons participating in such meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
(b) The Members holding a majority of the outstanding Membership Interests entitled to vote present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the Members. At any meeting of the Members at which a quorum is present, a majority of votes properly cast by the Members (or their duly authorized proxies) upon any question shall decide the question, except in any case where a larger vote is required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holder or holders of not less than the minimum Membership Interests that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which the holders of all Membership Interests entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Member who signs the consent. A photographic, photostatic, facsimile, or similar reproduction of a writing actually signed and delivered by a Member shall be regarded as signed by the Member for purposes of this Section 19. Prompt notice of the taking of any action by Members without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given by the Company to those Members who did not consent in writing to the action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be prohibited from taking the action so approved pending or following the delivery of such notice.
20. Other Business. The Members and any person or entity affiliated with any of the Members may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures (unconnected with the Company) of every kind and description, independently or with others. None of the Company or the other Members shall have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement.
21. Standards of Care. In performing their duties hereunder, the Members and officers shall discharge their duties in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner it reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company. The Members and officers shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements of the following persons or groups unless it has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted:
(i) one or more employees or other agents of the Company whom such person reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; and
(ii) any attorney, public accountant or other person as to matters which such person reasonably believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence.
8
22. Exculpation and Indemnification. No Member or officer shall be liable to the Company, any other Members or any other person or entity who has an interest in the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Member or officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Member or officer by this Agreement, except that a Member or officer shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Member’s or officer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, a Member or officers shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Member or officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Member or officer by this Agreement, except that no Member or officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Member or officer by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 22 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member shall have personal liability on account thereof.
23. Assignments. A Member may not assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of in whole or in part its Membership Interests without the written consent of Members holding seventy-five percent (75%) of the Membership Interests in the Company. If a Member transfers all of its Membership Interests pursuant to the preceding sentence, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer, and, immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company.
24. Resignation. A Member may not resign or retire as a Member of the Company without the written consent of the other Members. A Member which resigns or retires in contravention of this Agreement shall be liable to the Company for any damages occasioned by such resignation or retirement and, in addition to any remedies the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company may offset against any amounts it may owe to such resigning or retiring Member (in connection with a distribution or otherwise) any such damages occasioned by such resignation or retirement.
25. Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the earliest to occur of the following:
(a) the written consent of Members holding seventy-five (75%) of the Membership Interests in the Company;
(b) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 7-80-802 of the Act.
9
26. Liquidation Upon Dissolution.
(a) Upon the dissolution of the Company, sole and plenary authority to effectuate the liquidation of the assets of the Company shall be vested in the Members (the “Liquidators”). The Liquidators shall have full power and authority to sell, assign and encumber any and all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.
(b) The Liquidators shall determine, in their sole discretion, the fair market value of all assets of the Company as at the date of distribution of such assets and the profits and losses resulting from such distribution shall be allocated in accordance with Section 14 hereof.
(c) The proceeds of liquidation of the assets of the Company distributable upon a dissolution and winding up of the Company shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the creditors of the Company, including creditors who are Members, in the order of priority provided by law, in satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations of the Company (of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, legal or equitable, secured or unsecured), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof; and
(ii) thereafter, to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.
27. Tax Matters.
(a) The Members shall, on behalf of the Company, arrange, supervise and oversee the preparation and timely filing, and prior review by independent certified public accountants, of all returns of Company income, gain, deductions, losses, credits and other items necessary for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish to the Members, within 90 days after the close of the taxable year, the tax information reasonably required for federal, state, local and foreign income tax reporting purposes. The taxable year of the Company shall be the calendar year unless another year is required by the Code (the “Company Year”).
(b) The Members shall make all tax elections on behalf of the Company; provided, however, that if a distribution of Company property as described in Section 734 of the Code occurs or if a transfer of Membership Interests or an interest in the Company as described in Section 743 occurs, on the written request of any Member, the Company shall make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of Company properties.
(c) The Managing Members shall be the “Tax Matters Partner,” as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. In the event of an income tax audit of any tax return of the Company, the filing of any amended return or claim for refund in connection with any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit reflected on any tax return of the Company, or any administrative or judicial proceedings arising out of or in connection with any such audit, amended return, claim for refund or denial of such claim, (i) the Tax Matters Partner, and each of them, shall be authorized to act for, and its decision shall be final and binding upon, the Company and all the Members, (ii) all expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in
10
connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and disbursements) shall be expenses of the Company and (iii) no other Member shall have the right to (A) participate in the audit of any Company tax return, (B) file any amended return or claim for refund in connection with any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit reflected on any tax return of the Company, (C) participate in any administrative or judicial proceedings arising out of or in connection with any such audit, amended return, claim for refund or denial of such claim, or (D) appeal, challenge or otherwise protest any adverse findings in any such audit or with respect to any such amended return or claim for refund or in any such administrative or judicial proceedings. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all other Members from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, deficiencies and expenses resulting from (y) any tax liability incurred by the Company attributable to such Member, including, without limitation, any liability incurred by the Company for failure to withhold taxes on distributions to such Member or (z) any breach or violation by such Members of the provisions of this Section 27(c), and from all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incident to any such liability, breach or violation.
28. Miscellaneous.
(a) Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.
(b) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original of this Agreement.
(c) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings or agreements between the parties.
