ARTICLE III

MANAGEMENT

9. Management. The Initial Member shall manage the LLC, and shall have authority to take all necessary and proper actions to conduct the business of the LLC. Anyone authorized by the Initial Member may take any authorized action on behalf of the LLC.

ARTICLE IV

CONTRIBUTIONS, PROFITS, LOSSES, AND DISTRIBUTIONS

10. Interest of Members. Each Member shall own a percentage interest (sometimes referred to as a share) in the LLC. The Member’s percentage interest shall be based on the amount of cash or other property that the Member has contributed to the LLC and that percentage interest shall control the Member’s share of the profits, losses, and distributions of the LLC.

11. Initial Contribution. The initial contribution of the Initial Member is $ , representing a 100% interest in the LLC.

12. Additional Contributions. In the event additional Members are added, upon a majority vote, the Members may be called upon to make additional cash contributions as may be necessary to carry on the LLC's business. The amount of any additional cash contribution shall be based on the Member's then existing percentage interest. To the extent a Member is unable to meet a cash call, the other Members can contribute the unmet call on a pro rata basis based on the Members' percentage interests at that time, and the percentage interest of each Member will be adjusted accordingly.

13. Record of Contributions/Percentage Interests. A record shall be kept of all contributions to, and percentage interests in, the LLC. This Arrangement, any amendment(s) to this Arrangement, and all Resolutions of the Members of the LLC shall constitute the record of the Members of the LLC and of their respective interest therein.

14. Profits and Losses. The profits and losses and all other tax attributes of the LLC shall be allocated to the Initial Member until such time as additional Members are added at which time, the profits and losses and all other tax attributes of the LLC shall be allocated to the Members on the basis of the Members' percentage interests in the LLC.

15. Distributions. Any Distributions of cash or other assets of the LLC (other than in dissolution of the LLC) shall be made in the total amounts and at the times as determined by the Initial Member. Should additional Members be added, distributions of cash or other assets of the LLC (other than in dissolution of the LLC) shall be made in the total amounts and at the times as determined by a majority of the Members. Any such distributions shall be allocated among the Members on the basis of the Members' percentage interests in the LLC.

16. Change in Interests. In the event additional Members are added, and if during any year there is a change in a Member's percentage interest, the Member's share of profits and losses and distributions in that year shall be determined under a method which takes into account the varying interests during the year.

ARTICLE V

VOTING; CONSENT TO ACTION

17. Voting by Members. Until such time as additional Members are added, all decisions will be made by the Initial Member. Should additional Members be added, each Member shall be entitled to vote on any matter voted on by the Members. Voting shall be based on the percentage interest owned by each Member. The action may be taken with or without a meeting.

18. Majority Defined. As used throughout this agreement the term “majority” of the Members shall mean a majority of the ownership interest of the LLC as determined by the records of the LLC on the date of the action. For example, if one Member with a 51% interest votes for passage, and five Members with a combined 49% interest vote against passage, the majority has voted for passage because 51% of the ownership interest has voted for passage. Similarly, a reference to a percentage of the Members, for example: “75% of the Members,” shall mean a percentage of the ownership interest of the LLC.

19. Majority Required. Should additional Members be added, any action that requires the vote or consent of the Members may be taken upon a majority vote of the Members, based on the Members' percentage interests unless unanimous consent is required by this Arrangement.

20. Meetings - Written Consent. Action of the Members or Officers may be accomplished with or without a meeting. If a meeting is held, evidence of the action shall be by Minutes or Resolution reflecting the action of the Meeting, signed by a majority of the Members, or the President and Secretary. Action without a meeting may be evidenced by a written consent signed by a majority of the Members.

21. Meetings. Meetings of the Members shall be held as determined by the Members or as may be called by a majority of the Members, or if a Manager was selected, then by the Manager of the LLC, or if Officers were elected or appointed, by any officer.

(j) Any of the events provided in applicable provisions of state or federal law that are not inconsistent with the dissociation events identified above.

23. Effect of Dissociation. Any dissociated Member shall not be entitled to receive the fair value of his LLC interest solely by virtue of his dissociation. A dissociated Member that still owns an interest in the LLC shall be entitled to continue to receive such profits and losses, to receive such distribution or distributions, and to receive such allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar items to which he would have been entitled if still a Member. For all other purposes, a dissociated Member shall no longer be considered a Member and shall have no rights of a Member.

ARTICLE VII

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF LLC INTEREST; SET PRICE FOR LLC INTEREST

24. LLC Interest. The LLC interest is personal property. A Member has no interest in property owned by the LLC.

25. Encumbrance. A Member can encumber his LLC interest by a security interest or other form of collateral only with the consent of a majority of the other Members. Such consent shall only be given if the proceeds of the encumbrance are contributed to the LLC to respond to a cash call of the LLC.

26. Sale of Interest. A Member can sell his LLC interest only as follows:

(a) If a Member desires to sell his/her interest, in whole or in part, he/she shall give written notice to the LLC of his desire to sell all or part of his/her interest and must first offer the interest to the LLC. The LLC shall have the option to buy the offered interest at the then existing Set Price as provided in this Arrangement. The LLC shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the assigning Member's notice to give the assigning Member written notice of its intention to buy all, some, or none of the offered interest. The decision to buy shall be made by a majority of the other Members. Closing on the sale shall occur within sixty (60) days from the date that the LLC gives written notice of its intention to buy. The purchase price shall be paid in cash at closing unless the total purchase price is in excess of $ in which event the purchase price shall be paid in ( ) equal quarterly installments beginning with the date of closing. The installment amounts shall be computed by applying the following interest factor to the principal amount: interest compounded quarterly at the Quarterly Federal Short-Term Rate existing at closing under the Applicable Federal Rates used for purposes of Internal Revenue Code § 1 274(d), or any successor provision.

(b) To the extent the LLC does not buy the offered interest of the selling Member, the other Members shall have the option to buy the offered interest at the Set Price on a pro rata basis based on the Members' percentage interests at that time. If Member does not desire to buy up to his/her proportional part, the other Members can buy the remaining interest on the same pro rata basis. Members shall have fifteen (15) days from the date the LLC gives its written notice to the selling Member to give the selling Member notice in writing of their intention to buy all, some, or none of the offered interest. Closing on the sales shall occur within sixty (60) days from the date that the Members give written notice of their intention to buy. The purchase price from each purchasing Member shall be paid in cash at closing.

(c) To the extent the LLC or the Members do not buy the offered interest, the selling Member can then assign the interest to a non-Member. The selling Member must close on the assignment within ninety (90) days of the date that he gave notice to the LLC. If he does not close by that time, he must again give the notice and options to the LLC and the LLC Members before he sells the interest.

(d) A non-Member purchaser of a Member’s interest cannot exercise any rights of a Member unless a majority of the non-selling Members consent to him becoming a Member. The non-Member purchaser will be entitled, however, to share in such profits and losses, to receive such distributions, and to receive such allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar items to which the selling Member would be entitled, to the extent of the interest assigned, and will be subject to calls for contributions under the terms of this Arrangement. The purchaser, by purchasing the selling Member’s interest, agrees to be subject to all the terms of this Arrangement as if he were a Member.

27. Set Price. The Set Price for purposes of this Arrangement shall be the price fixed by consent of a majority of the Members. The Set Price shall be memorialized and made a part of the LLC records. The initial Set Price for each Member's interest is the amount of the Member's contribution(s) to the LLC, as updated in accordance with the terms hereof. Any future changes in the Set Price by the Members shall be based upon net equity in the assets of the LLC (fair market value of the assets less outstanding indebtedness), considering the most recent appraisal obtained by the LLC for its assets, as may be adjusted by the Members in their discretion. The initial Set Price shall be adjusted upon demand by a Member but not more than once a year unless all Members consent. This basis for determining the Set Price shall remain in effect until changed by consent of a majority of the Members. The Members will consider revising the basis for determining the Set Price at least annually.
