2.2.2 Additional Menache Contributions.

The difference between the 40% Ownership Interest in the Company originally owned by AE and the New AE Percentage Interest shall belong to Menache, and may be freely marketed by Menache, in its sole discretion, in order to raise additional capital to fund the Funded Development. In addition to the foregoing reduction in AE’s Ownership Interest in the Company, one seat on the Board of Managers shall be forfeited by AE.

2.5 No Interest on Capital Contributions. No interest will be paid on capital contributions.

2.6 Capital Accounts. An individual capital account will be maintained for each Member. A Member's capital account will be credited with all capital contributions made by the Member and with all income and gain (including any income exempt from federal income tax) allocated to the Member. A Member’s capital account will be charged with the amount of all distributions made to the Member and with all losses and deductions (including deductions attributable to tax-exempt income) allocated to the Member.

3. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.

3.1 Determination. The net profit or net loss of the Company for each fiscal year will be determined according to the accounting principles employed in the preparation of the Company’s federal income tax information return for that fiscal year. In computing net profit or net loss for purposes of allocation between Members, no special provision will be made for tax-exempt or partially tax-exempt income of the Company, and all items of the Company’s income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be separately stated under IRC §703(a)(1) will be included in the net profit or net loss of the Company. However, any adjustments that are necessary in order to bring such computations of net profit and/or net loss in compliance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2) shall be made.

3.2 Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses. The net profit or net loss of the Company for a fiscal year will be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Ownership Interests. It is the intent of the Company and all of the Members that the allocation of net profits and net losses comply at all times with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2), and to that end, the Board of Managers, at the recommendation of the accountants of the Company, shall be authorized to make such adjustments in the allocation of net profits and/or net losses as are necessary to bring same into compliance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2).

3.3 Allocations Solely for Tax Purposes. In accordance with IRC §704(c) and the corresponding regulations, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company will be allocated among the Members, solely for income tax purposes, so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes in the hands of the Company and the agreed value of such property as set forth in this agreement, or in any document entered into at the time an additional contribution is made to the Company. Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations to be made under this section will be made by the Managers. The allocations to be made under this section are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local income taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's capital account, allocable share of the net profits and net losses of the Company, or right to distributions.

3.4 Prorations. If a Member has not been a Member during a full fiscal year of the Company, or if a Member's Ownership Interest in the Company changes during a fiscal year, the net profit or net loss for the year will be allocated to the Member based only on the period of time during which the Member was a Member or held a particular Ownership Interest. In determining a Member's share of the net profit or net loss for a fiscal year, the Managers may allocate the net profit or net loss ratably on a daily basis using the Company's usual method of accounting. Alternatively, the Managers may separate the Company's fiscal year into two or more segments and allocate the net profits or net losses for each segment among the persons who were Members, or who held particular Ownership Interests, during each segment based upon their Ownership Interests during that segment.

The Company shall use its best efforts to pay such distributions at least quarterly during each fiscal year at times that coincide with the Members’ payment of estimated taxes, and the amount of each distribution will be based upon the anticipated taxable income of the Company for the fiscal year of the distribution and the anticipated tax rates of Members, as determined at the time the distribution is made.

Each Member agrees that the Member's interest may not be offered for sale, sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of unless the interests of the Members in the Company are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE INTEREST OF A MEMBER IN THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY A MEMBER IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE MANAGERS THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

11.3 Permitted Transfers.

If the other Members do not consent to a particular transfer and if the transfer does not violate the securities law restriction, the Member may transfer all or a part of the Member's interest if (a) such interest or part thereof has been tendered for sale to the Company in accordance with the Section of this Agreement relating to tender of interest, (b) the tender has not been accepted within the time limit set forth in that Section, (c) the transfer is made to the transferee named in the notice of tender within 180 days after the notice of tender is effective, and (d) the transfer is at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the transferee than those set forth in the notice of tender.

If a Member wishes to transfer all or part of the Member's interest in the Company and the other Members do not consent, the interest or the part of an interest to be transferred must be tendered to the Company and to the other Member by giving written notice of such tender to the Company and to the other Member and upon the same terms and for the same purchase price as such Member is offering its interest to another party. Such notice must contain the name and address of the proposed transferee, the price to be paid by the proposed transferee for the interest, if any, and the terms of the proposed transfer. If a Member's interest is transferred by operation of law, the successor in interest to the transferring Member may give the required notice of tender to the other Members at any time following the transfer, and such successor in interest will be deemed to have given the notice of tender at the time any other Member gives notice to the successor in interest and to all other Members of the failure to give the notice of tender. Within 30 days after a notice of tender is given, the other Members may accept the tender on behalf of the Company and have the Company purchase the interest tendered (or one or more Members individually may accept the tender and purchase the interest tendered) for the price set forth in the notice of tender. The tender must be accepted on behalf of the Company (or by one or more Members) by giving written notice of acceptance to the transferring Member or the transferring Member’s successor in interest. The purchase may, at the option of the other Members, be on the terms set forth in the notice of tender, if any.

11.5 Effect of Tender. The Member tendering the interest will cease to be a Member with respect to the tendered interest upon an acceptance of the tender by the Company and/or individual Members. Thereafter, the Member tendering the interest will have no rights as a Member in the Company, except the right to have the tendered interest purchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

11.6 Substitution. If the interest of a Member is transferred, with the consent of the other Members or after the interest has been tendered for sale to the Company in accordance with the Section of this Agreement relating to tender of interest, the transferee of the interest will be admitted as a Member of the Company upon the approval of a majority of the Board of Managers, effective upon the execution by the transferee and delivery to the Company of a written agreement to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any other documents reasonably required by the Board of Managers. If the Board of Managers does not approve the admission of the transferee as a Member, then such transferee will only have the right to receive, to the extent assigned, the distributions from the Company to which the transferor would be entitled. However, in that case, the transferee will not have the right to exercise the rights of a Member, including, without limitation, the right to vote or inspect or obtain records of the Company.

11.7 Drag Along Rights. If an offer to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Ownership Interests is received from any person or persons, and the Board of Managers determines, within twenty (20) business days of the date of receiving such notice of the proposed purchase, that acceptance of the offer is in the best interests of the Members, then all of the Members shall accept such offer and shall sell their Ownership Interests in accordance with the terms of such offer and such agreements and instruments of transfer as may be approved by the Board of Managers, provided that no Member may be compelled, pursuant to this Section, to enter into or become bound by an agreement if such agreement would (i) require such Member to provide personal services; (ii) impose on such Member any new or enlarged restriction on independent or competitive activities; or (iii) impose on such Member any indemnification obligation or other liability in connection with such transaction other than for any defect in title or failure of the Member to convey good and marketable title to such Member's Ownership Interest in the Company, free and clear of liens and encumbrances.

11.8 Tag-Along Rights.

11.8.1. If any Member or group of Members (the “Selling Member”) intend to sell (other than to the Company or as permitted herein) to a person or group of persons acting in concert (the “Buyer”) any Ownership Interests that, in the aggregate, constitute a controlling interest in the Company, such Selling Member shall provide written notice to the other Members (the “Tag-Along Members”) of the proposed sale and its terms and conditions. If the Board of Managers determines, within twenty (20) business days of the date of receiving such notice of the proposed sale, that the sale is in the best interests of the Members, then (in lieu of making a tender in accordance with Section 11.4) the Board of Managers shall provide written notification of their approval of such sale to the other Members, and any Tag-Along Member may participate in such sale by requiring the Buyer to purchase a pro rata portion of the Tag-Along Member’s Ownership Interests, which Ownership Interests shall be included in the aggregate number of Ownership Interests the Buyer proposes to purchase.

11.8.2. A Tag-Along Member may participate in a sale described in Section 11.8.1 above by giving written notice of its election to participate in the sale to the Selling Member within ten (10) business days of the date of receiving notice of the Board of Managers’ determination to approve the sale. Any Tag-Along Member that fails to notify the Selling Member within such ten (10) business day period shall have waived its rights under this Section 11.8.2. Each Tag-Along Member that provides timely notice to the Selling Member shall have the right to sell to the Buyer, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Member, an amount of Ownership Interests equal to the Ownership Interests that the Buyer actually proposes to purchase, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Ownership Interests of such Tag-Along Member and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Ownership Interests of the Selling Member and each Tag-Along Member exercising its rights under this subsection.

12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MEMBERS.

Each Member represents and warrants to the Company and the other Members that such Member has acquired an interest in the Company for such Member's own account for investment and not with a view to distribution of the interest.

13. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY LIMITATION.

13.1 Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Company must indemnify each of the Managers to the fullest extent permissible under the law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all liability, loss, and costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred or suffered by the Manager by reason of or arising from the fact that the Manager is or was a manager of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, member, director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, benefit plan, or other enterprise. The Company may, by action of the Managers, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company who are not Managers. The indemnification provided in this Section is not exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled under any statute, agreement, resolution of Managers or Members, contract, or otherwise. But despite any other provision of this agreement, the Company has no obligation to indemnify a Manager for:

13.1.1 Any breach of the Manager’s duty of loyalty to the Company;

13.1.2 Acts or omissions not in good faith that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

13.1.3 Any unlawful distribution under the Act; or

13.1.4 Any transaction in which the Manager derives improper personal benefit.

13.2 Limitation of Liability. No Manager of the Company is liable to the Company or to the Members for monetary damages resulting from the Manager’s conduct as a Manager except to the extent that the Act, as it now exists or may be amended in the future, prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of managers of limited liability companies. No repeal or amendment of this Section or of the Act will adversely affect any right or protection of a Manager for actions or omissions prior to the repeal or amendment.

14. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

14.1 Amendment. The Members may amend or repeal all or part of this Agreement by action of the Members, provided that such action is memorialized in writing. This Agreement may not be amended or repealed by oral agreement of the Members or by oral or written agreement of the Managers.

14.2 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the Members. But this Section may not be construed as a modification of any restriction on transfer set forth in this Agreement.

14.3 Notice. Except as otherwise provided in other Sections of this Agreement, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid. Notices addressed to a Member must be addressed to the Member's address listed in the Section of this Agreement relating to initial members, or if there is no such address listed for a Member, the address of the Member shown on the records of the Company. Notices addressed to the Company or a Manager must be addressed to the principal office of the Company. The address of a Member, the Company, or a Manager to which notices or other communications are to be mailed may be changed from time to time by the Member's, the Company's, or the Manager's giving written notice to the Members, the Company, and the Managers. All notices and other communications will be deemed to be given at the expiration of three days after the date of mailing.

14.4 Litigation Expense. If any legal proceeding is commenced for the purpose of interpreting or enforcing any provision of this Agreement, including any proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court, the prevailing party in such proceeding will be entitled to recover a reasonable attorney's fee in such proceeding, or any appeal thereof, to be set by the court without the necessity of hearing testimony or receiving evidence, in addition to the costs and disbursements allowed by law.

14.10 Form of Company. The form of the Company as currently a limited liability company, may be changed upon majority vote of Members. It is contemplated by this Agreement that future transition to a corporation may be made by the Company. Further, upon change to a corporation, it is acknowledged that B class of stock may be created as a second class of stock for purposes of employee options or other benefit as determined by a majority of Members or the majority of shareholders.

14.11 Authority. Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of a corporation or other entity warrants that he or she is authorized to do so and that this Agreement will constitute the legally binding obligation of the corporation or other entity that the individual represents.
