December 1, 2008

THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement” or “Operating Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2008 (“Effective Date”) by and among the undersigned, who are Members of MATTRESS DISCOUNTERS GROUP, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Company”), provides as follows.

ARTICLE I

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS, DEFINITIONS

1.01 Introductory Statement of Intent. The Members are joining together to form the Company for the primary purpose of obtaining and operating the assets of a furniture retail operation. The Company and the Members, as set forth in Exhibit A, wish to enter into this Operating Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions under which the management, business, and financial affairs of the Company shall be conducted as of and subsequent to the Effective Date.

1.02 Term Length, Business and Purpose of the Company. The term of the Company shall be perpetual unless terminated in accordance with this Agreement. The business of the Company is to engage in any lawful business. The Company shall have all powers and rights of a limited liability company organized under the Act, to the extent such powers and rights are not proscribed by the Articles.

1.03 Definitions. All terms not defined in this document shall have the meaning in the Virginia Limited Liability Company Act, Va. Code § 13.1-1000, as amended and in force from time to time (“Act”).

(a) “Articles” means the articles of organization of the Company, as amended and in force from time to time.

(b) “Membership Interest,” “Economic Interest,” “Participation Interest”: A Membership Interest entails two broad rights: economic rights and the right to direct the affairs of the Company, limited as provided herein. More specifically, a Membership Interest means (i) the economic ownership interest in the Company and its capital, capital appreciation, and/or profits and the right to share in the profit and losses of the Company and to receive distributions of assets of the Company (the “Economic Interest”), and (ii) the Member’s limited rights to participate in the management and affairs of the Company and to vote on Company matters in the capacity of Member (the “Participation Interest”).

Each Member’s Membership Interest as of the Effective Date is as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and is set forth as a Participation Interest Percentage, Economic Interest Percentage, and as discussed below, Loss Allocation Interest Percentage. The Membership Interest for any Member at any time shall be referenced by such

FINAL

Member’s Capital Account divided by the aggregate Capital Accounts. A Person may own an Economic Interest and not a Participation Interest (for example, if such Person was Expelled or resigns as a Member) in which case such Person is not a Member but rather a passive investor in the Company, with solely economic rights by way of an Economic Interest and no right to participate in the management and affairs of the Company or to vote on Company matters in the capacity of Member.

Further, “Economic Interest” is an umbrella term denoting or consisting of, as set forth herein, multiple varied yet equally significant financial attributes of economic ownership in the Company, including without limitation, rights to proportional distributions of Company income, rights to proportional distributions of proceeds of asset sales, tax loss allocations, etc. “Loss Allocation Interest” or “LAI” means the percentage allocation to a Member of Company losses or deductions for federal, state and local income tax purposes, as further described in Section 4.07. As of the Effective Date, the respective Loss Allocation Interest for each Member is as set forth in Exhibit A.

(c) A “Member” is a Person who owns both an Economic Interest and a Participation Interest. A Person who owns solely an Economic Interest is not a Member and has no right to participate in the management and affairs of the Company or to vote on Company matters in the capacity of Member, but rather has solely economic rights as described above.

(d) “Capital Account” means as of any given date the amount calculated and maintained by the Company for each Member as provided in Article IV hereof. It is the Company’s and Members’ intention to determine and maintain such Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules promulgated under the partnership tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, including without limitation those set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, 26 CFR 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv).

(e) “Expulsion” of a Member means the same thing as when a Member resigns, namely, the former Member no longer has any right to participate in the management and affairs of the Company or to vote on Company matters in the capacity of Member. Subsequent to such Expulsion, the former Member shall continue to own an Economic Interest, but not a Participation Interest, and shall be a passive investor in the Company with solely economic rights.

(f) A “Person” is an individual, proprietorship, trust, estate, personal representative, partnership, joint venture, association, company, corporation, limited liability company, or other entity.
