RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS
Paragraph 5.01 Limitation of Liability. The Member will not be
personally liable for any obligations, liabilities, debts or losses of the
Company, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, except as otherwise
required by law.
Paragraph 5.02 Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations
and conditions provided in this Article 5 and in the Act, each Person
("Indemnified Person") who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
investigative ("Proceeding"), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry
or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact
that he was or is a Member or an officer of the Company or he was or is the
legal representative of or a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer,
proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of a Member or of an
officer of the Company, shall be indemnified by the Company against judgments,
penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines,
settlements and reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees) actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with
such Proceeding if such Indemnified Person acted in good
6
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interest of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, that the Indemnified Person had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
Paragraph 5.03 Survival. Indemnification under this Article 5 shall
continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity that initially
entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this
Article 5 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or
repeal of this Article 5 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such
rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any such
amendment, modification or repeal.
Paragraph 5.04 Advance Payment. The right to indemnification conferred
by this Article 5 shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the
Company for the reasonable expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition
of the Proceeding and without any determination as to the Indemnified Person's
ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of
such expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall
be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such
Indemnified Person of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article 5 and a written
undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is
not entitled to be indemnified under this Article 5 or otherwise.
Paragraph 5.05 Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification
and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred by this Article 5 shall
not be exclusive of any other right which a Person may have or hereafter acquire
under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Articles of Organization
or Operating Agreement, agreements, vote of members or otherwise.
Paragraph 5.06 Savings Clause. If Paragraph 5.02 or any portion
thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent
jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless
each Indemnified Person as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Article 5 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

TRANSFERS OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS
Paragraph 8.01 Restrictions on Transfers. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Membership Interests may be assigned in whole or in part only as
follows:
(a) Unless waived by the non-selling Members, a Membership Interest
shall not be transferred in the absence of an opinion of counsel, satisfactory
to the non-selling Members, that the registration of the sale of the Membership
Interest is not required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
applicable state securities laws.
(b) Any transfer of a Membership Interest, other than to another
Member, shall be effective only to give the transferee the right to receive the
share of tax allocations and distributions to which the transferor would
otherwise be entitled. No transferee of a Membership Interest shall have the
right to become a substituted Member unless the non-transferring Members, in the
exercise of their sole and absolute discretion, expressly consent thereto in
writing and the transferee agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of
this Agreement as then in effect. Unless and until a transferee is admitted as a
substituted Member, the transferee shall have no right to exercise any of the
powers, rights, and privileges of a Member hereunder. A Member who has assigned
his Membership Interest shall cease to be a Member upon assignment of the
Member's entire Membership Interest and thereafter shall have no further powers,
rights and privileges as a Member hereunder, but shall, unless otherwise
relieved of such obligations by agreement of all of the other Members or by
operation of law, remain liable for all obligations and duties incurred as a
Member.
(c) The Company, each Member and any other Person having business with
the Company need deal only with Members who are admitted as Members or as
substituted Members of the Company, and they shall not be required to deal with
any other Person by reason of assignment by a Member or by reason of the death
of a Member, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the absence of
the substitution (as provided herein) of a Member for an assigning or a deceased
Member, any payment to a Member or to a Member's executors or administrators
shall release the Company and the Members from all liability to any other
Persons who may be interested in such payment by reason of an assignment by, or
the death of, such Member.
(d) No Person shall have a perfected lien or security interest in a
Membership Interest unless the creation of such interest is in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement and the Company is notified of such interest
and provided a copy of all documentation with respect thereto, including
financing statements, prior to execution and filing.
(e) Each Member agrees not to transfer all or any part of his
Membership Interest (or take or omit any action, filing election or other action
which could result in a deemed transfer) if such transfer (either considered
alone or in the aggregate with prior transfers by other Members) would result in
the termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes, without the
prior written consent of the non-transferring Members, which consent may be
withheld in their sole discretion.
(f) Any transfer not in accord with this Agreement shall be void ab
initio.
