transfer its interest or any portion thereof or interest therein, or withdraw
from the Company. Any such transfer or attempt to withdraw other than as
permitted under this Agreement shall be void ab initio. Upon such transfer by a
Member of all of its interest in a manner permitted or required pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, (i) such Member shall be deemed to have withdrawn
as a Member and shall have no further rights as a Member hereunder, and (ii)
Schedule A shall be amended to appropriately reflect the changes to the
membership, Percentage Interests, and Capital Contributions caused by such
transfer.
7.2 Approval for Transfer. If any Member wishes to transfer
its interest or any portion thereof (a "Transferring Member") to a Non-Member,
it shall first obtain the written approval from all the Members (other than the
transferring Member), which approval may be withheld for any reason or no
reason, in the sole discretion of such Member or Members. The Members agree that
the restrictions on transferring and withdrawal contained herein are fair and
reasonable. If such written approval is not obtained, then any such transfer
shall be void ab initio. In the event that such written approval shall be
12
obtained from the remaining Member or Members, however, Schedule A shall be
amended to appropriately reflect the changes to the membership, Percentage
Interests, and Capital Contributions caused by such transfer.
7.3 Transfer Among Members. Any Member may transfer all or any
portion of such Member's interest to another Member(s), and no Member shall have
any preference, first refusal or other right to acquire such interest. Upon any
transfer pursuant to this Section, the Percentage Interests and any equity of
the transferor Member and the transferee Member(s) shall be adjusted, and
Schedule A shall be amended accordingly. The transferee Member(s) shall assume
and be obligated to discharge all of the obligations of the transferor Member
attributable to the transferred interest.
7.4 Admission of New Members. One or more additional members
of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the consent of all of the
Members. No new Member may be admitted unless such Member shall have executed an
instrument containing (i) an amended Schedule A to this Agreement reflecting
such new Member, such new Member's Initial Capital Contribution to the Company,
such new Member's Percentage Interest, and the Percentage Interests of the other
Members (adjusted to take into account such new Member's Percentage Interest)
and (ii) such new Member's agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions
hereof.

are creditors, until all of the Company's debts and liabilities are
paid and discharged (or provision is made for payment thereof); and

positive Capital Account balances as of the date of such distribution,
after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and
allocations for all periods.
(b) Such distributions shall be made by such times as may be
required under applicable provisions of the Code and the regulations issued
thereunder. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the period of

15
into account all allocations required by the regulations under Section 704(b) of
the Code and all distributions of cash and other assets.

from the Company and the remaining Members elect pursuant to Section 8.1 of this
Agreement that the Company not be dissolved, the withdrawing Member shall be
entitled to receive from the Company, in full satisfaction of the withdrawing
Member's interest in the Company, an amount equal to such Member's Capital
Account on the date of withdrawal. If such Member has a deficit balance in its
Capital Account on the date of withdrawal, such Member shall contribute to the
Company an amount to bring such balance to zero. The Company shall make such
payment, or such Member shall make such contribution, before the later of (i)

of the Company appointed by the Members shall not be liable for any breach of
duty in such capacity, unless a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
such Member establishes that such Member's acts or omissions were in bad faith
or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or that such
Member personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which
such Member was not legally entitled.
9.3 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Member and its respective directors, shareholders, officers,
employees and agents, and the officers, employees and agents of the Company

and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively "Indemnifiable

of the business of the Company; provided, that, such indemnification shall not
