Member to liability for the obligations of the Company in any

seeking an order for relief of the
Company as debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.

reorganization, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar
relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy laws or any
other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or

taxable as a corporation or to be treated as an association taxable as
a corporation for federal income tax purposes;
(ix) dissolve or terminate the Company;
(x) merge the Company into another entity, if the Company
is not the surviving entity, or if the holders of Units immediately
prior to the merger hold less than fifty percent of the equity
interests in the surviving entity immediately after the merger;
(xi) amend the Management Agreement;

(b) Without the consent of Managers representing
Members holding Units representing 65% of the outstanding Membership
Interests in the Company, the Managers have no authority to approve the
annual operating or capital budget for the Company or any deviation of
more than $50,000 from the amount shown in an approved budget for any
item of expense that is within the reasonable control of the Company.
On or before November 30 of each year RCG will prepare a proposed
operating and capital budget for the following year, and the Managers
will promptly review, comment on and, if acceptable, approve such
budget. The Managers will negotiate in good faith to agree on a budget
for the coming year. If the Managers, following such good faith
negotiations, do not agree on a budget, then either party may submit
the matter to dispute resolution as contemplated by Section 7.2.12. If
the Managers do not approve a budget before the beginning of a year,
then the Company shall operate under the approved budget for the prior
year until the Managers approve a budget for such year.
2. No Further Amendment. Except as expressly modified and amended by
this Amendment, the parties agree that the Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect as provided therein, and the parties reaffirm all of its
provisions.
