CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
7.1 Nature of Capital Contributions.Members shall make Capital Contributions as
determined by them,and may be in cash or any type of property,including promissory notes,or
any services performed or to be performed,as may be agreed upon or determined by all of the
Members if not otherwise set forth herein. Members may contribute additional capital to the
Company in exchange for additional Units,either on a pro rata or non-pro rata basis,with the
10
unanimous consent of all Members. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement,no
Member shall be required to make any Capital Contributions to the Company other than(a)any
Capital Contribution specified in Schedule A attached hereto,or(b)as required by a separate,
written agreement enforceable against such Member.
7.2 Required Additional Capital Contributions. If required in the discretion of the
Manager or Members,the Members will be required to make additional Capital Contributions to
the Company within thirty(30)days from the date of written notice thereof by the Manager.Any
required Capital Contributions shall be made pro rata,in accordance with the Member's Interest
unless otherwise agreed to by all Members in writing.If a Member fails to make a required Capital
Contribution,the Company may exercise,on notice to such Member(the"Delinquent"Member),
one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Permitting the Members,in proportion to their Interest or in such other percentages as
they may agree to advance the portion of the Delinquent Member's capital contribution
that is in default. The sum advanced constitutes a loan from such Members to the
Delinquent Member and a capital contribution of that sum to the Company by the
Delinquent Member.The principal balance of the loan and all accrued unpaid interest
is due and payable on the 10th day after written demand by the lending Members to
the Delinquent Member.The amount loaned bears interest at 150%of short-term rate
under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(d)from the day that the advance is deemed
made until the date that the loan,together with all interest accrued,is repaid to the
lending Members. All distributions from the Company that would be made to the
Delinquent Member shall be paid to the lending Members pro rata until the loan and
all interest accrued have been paid in full.The payment of the loan and interest accrued
is secured by a security interest in the Delinquent Member's membership Interest.
(b)Permitting the Members,in proportion to their Interest or in such other percentages as
they may agree, to advance the portion of the Delinquent Member's capital
contribution that is in default,with the following results:
(i) The Delinquent Member's Interest shall be decreased by that amount which
is equal to the product of(A)the total Membership Units outstanding prior
to the required additional Capital Contributions, multiplied by(B)a
fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such Delinquent
Member's required additional contribution which the Delinquent Member
fails to contribute and the denominator of which is the sum obtained by
adding(i)the total capital contributions made by all Members prior to such
required additional contributions and(ii)the amount of such required
additional contributions (including the Delinquent Member's portion
thereof).
(ii) The Manager may further dilute the Interest of the Delinquent Member,and
increase the Interests of those contributing Members who shall have made
11
additional contributions that were otherwise required of the Delinquent
Member,by an additional amount not to exceed 50%of the additional
contribution which the Delinquent Member failed to contribute,in order to
offset additional expenses incurred by the Company and/or the other
Members and to provide an incentive for all Members to make the
additional Capital Contributions when required pursuant hereto.
Each Member grants to the Company,and to any lending Members with respect to any loans made
to that Member,as security,equally and ratably for the payment of all Capital Contributions that
a Member has agreed to make and the payment of all loans and interest accrued made by lending
Members to that Member,a security interest in the Member's membership Interest under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Wyoming. Any default in the payment of a required
Capital Contribution or in the payment of a loan or interest accrued,the Company or the lending
Members,as applicable,are entitled to the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Wyoming with respect to the security interest granted.
Each Member shall execute and deliver to the Company and the other Members all financing
statements and other instruments that the Manager or the lending Members,as applicable,may
request to effectuate and carry out the preceding provisions of this action. At the option of the
Manager or the lending Members,this Agreement or a photographic or other copy of this
Agreement may serve as a financing statement.

Interest in the capital of the Company shall be represented by his Units,which are set forth in
Schedule A attached hereto.
7.4 Loans by Members.Loans by Members to the Company must be represented by
a written promissory note signed by the Manager in his representative capacity on behalf of the
Company.Such loans shall not be capital contributions to the Company nor shall loans be credited
to the Capital Account of the lending Member or entitle such lending Member to any increase in
such Member's share of the Company's profits or distributions or subject such Member to any
greater proportion of the losses which the Company may sustain. Loans in accordance with the
foregoing sentence shall be a debt due from the Company to such lending Member and shall be,
together with accrued interest thereon,reimbursed to the Member making such loan in accordance
with its written terms,but in any event prior to any distribution to the Members in connection with
the dissolution of the Company.
7.5 Capital Accounts.
(a) An individual capital account(the "Capital Account")shall be established and
maintained on behalf of each Member,including any additional or substituted Member who shall
thereafter receive an Interest in the Company.
The Capital Account of each Member shall consist of:
12
(i) the amount of cash such Member has contributed to the Company,plus
(ii) the fair market value of any property such Member has contributed to the Company,
net of any liabilities assumed by the Company or to which such property is subject as
provided under Section 752 of the Code,plus
(iii) the agreed-upon value of any services performed or to be performed by such Member
for the benefit of the Company,plus
(iv) the amount of profits,income or gain(including tax-exempt income)allocated to such
Member;
Less:
(i) the amount of losses and deductions allocated to such Member,less
(ii) the amount of all cash distributed to such Members,less

(iv) such Member's share of any other expenditures which are not deductible by the
Company for federal income tax purposes or which are not allowable as additions to
the basis of Company property,
And:
(i) subject to the adjustments provided for in Article VIII.
The manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to this Section is
intended,and shall be construed so as,to comply with the requirements of Code Section 704(b)
and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.In the event there exists any inconsistency,
the Code and Treasury Regulations shall control.
7.6 No Demand of Member Capital. No Member has the right to withdraw his
Capital Contribution or to demand and receive property of the Company or any distribution in
return for the Member's Capital Contribution,except as may be specifically provided in this
Agreement or required by law.No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution
or to a return on his Capital Contribution,except as otherwise specifically provided for herein.No
Member shall receive out of Company property any part of the Member's Capital Contribution
until(i)all liabilities of the Company,except liabilities to Members on account of their Capital
Contributions have been paid or there remains property of the Company sufficient to pay them;or
(ii)the consent of all Members is had. Upon such dissolution,winding up,and liquidation,no
Member has the right to demand and receive property other than cash in return for its Capital
13
Contribution. Neither the Manager nor any Member,in any way guarantees the return of the
Members'Capital Contributions or a profit for the Members from the operations of the Company.

(i)apply the provisions of this Section in whatever order is likely to minimize the economic
distortions that might otherwise result from the Regulatory Allocations,and(ii)divide all

an act of the Members,all distributions of cash or other property shall be made to the Members
pro rata in proportion to the respective Interests of the Members on the record date of such

ARTICLE IX
TRANSFERABILITY
9.1 Effect of Transfers.Units in the Company are not transferable,in whole or in part,
except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.Furthermore,the transfer of a Unit in the
Company does not entitle the transferee to participate in the management and affairs of the
Company or to become or to exercise any rights of a Member,unless the other Members of the
Company unanimously agree that such transferee may become a Substitute Member or Additional
Member in accordance with Article X of this Agreement.A Member ceases to be a Member upon
assignment of the Member's entire membership Interest,which may only occur when properly
authorized by the unanimous vote of the remaining Members.The pledge or granting of a security
interest,lien or other encumbrance in or against,any or all of the Units of a Member shall not
cause the Member to cease to be a Member and shall not deprive the Member of the power to
exercise any rights or powers of a Member.The transfer of a Unit in the Company does not dissolve
the Company. Each assignor,upon request of the Manager,shall pay all reasonable expenses,
including attorneys'fees as such fees are incurred by the Company in connection with such
assignment.
9.2 Right of First Refusal. Members may not transfer Units owned by them unless
15
the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) A transferring Member who desires to sell all or any portion of its Units in the
Company to a third party purchaser shall obtain from such third party purchaser("Third Party
Purchaser")a bona fide written offer to purchase such interest,stating the terms and conditions
upon which the purchase is to be made and the consideration offered therefore("Third Party
Offer"). The selling Member shall give written notification("Notice of Sale")to the other
Member(s),by certified mail or personal delivery,of such Member's intention to so transfer such
Units(the"Offered Interest"). The Notice of Sale shall be accompanied by a copy of the Third
Party Offer. If any portion of the purchase price offered by such Third Party Purchaser consists
of consideration other than cash or a promissory note,then the Notice of Sale also shall be
accompanied by a good faith appraisal of the fair market value of such consideration provided by
an independent third-party appraiser.
(b) The other Members shall have the option("Buy Option")to purchase all,but not
less than all,of the Offered Interest,in an amount based on the remaining Member's Interest
without taking into account the Offered Interest.The Buy Option may be exercised by all the other
Members by giving written notification("Buy Notice")to the selling Member within forty-five
(45)days after receiving the Notice of Sale(the"Option Period"). Notwithstanding any provision
of this Section to the contrary,the remaining Members may mutually agree to an allocation of the
Offered Interest to be purchased by each of them.
(c) If no Buy Notice is issued within the Option Period,the Buy Option shall terminate
and the transferring Member shall be entitled to consummate the sale of the Offered Interest to the
Third Party Purchaser upon terms no less favorable than are set forth in the Third Party Offer,at
any time within ninety(90)days following the expiration of the Option Period.If such sale is not
consummated within such ninety(90)day period,then the provisions of this Section shall again
apply to the Units which were the subject of the Offered Interest.
(d) If the other Members exercise their Buy Option,such Members shall designate the
time,date,and place of closing which shall be not more than sixty(60)days after the date of the
receipt of the Buy Notice. At the closing,such Members shall purchase,and the selling Member
shall sell,the Offered Interest for an amount equal to the purchase price designated in the Third
Party Offer and in accordance with such other terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party
Offer.
9.3 Death,Dissolution,Retirement or Bankruptcy of Member.
(a)The death,retirement,resignation,expulsion,change of control(as determined by the
Manager),bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member,or the attempted voluntary transfer of a
membership Interest or occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership
of a Member in the Company(a"Dissolution Event"),shall not dissolve the Company unless all
Members consent to the winding up and liquidation of the business of the Company. Except as
specifically provided for in this Agreement or another written agreement binding the Company
16
and its Members,the Member whose actions or conduct result in the Dissolution Event("Former
Member")or such Former Member's trustee(s),personal representative(s)or heir(s),shall offer to
sell and the remaining Members and the Company shall be entitled to purchase the Former
Member's Interest as provided in subsections(b)and(c)of this Section.
(b) Upon the occurrence of the Dissolution Event and notice thereof to the remaining
Members,the remaining Members shall have the option to purchase such Former Member's
Interest.Within sixty(60)days of the Dissolution Event,the remaining Members shall notify the
Manager in writing of their desire to purchase a portion of the Former Member's Interest. The
failure of any Member to submit a notice within the applicable period shall constitute an election
on the part of the remaining Member not to purchase any of the Former Member's Interest.Each
remaining Member shall be entitled to purchase a portion of the Former Member's Interest based
on the remaining Member's Interest without taking into account the Former Member's Interest.In
the event any remaining Member elects to purchase none or less than all of such remaining
Member's Interest of the Former Member's Interest,then the unpurchased portion may be
purchased by those remaining Members that elected to purchase their full Interest of the Former
Member's Interest.In the event the remaining Members elect not to purchase all or part of the
Former Member's Interest,the unpurchased portion may be purchased by the Company. If the
remaining Members and the Company fail to purchase the entire interest of the Former Member,
the same shall pass by operation of law to any assignee/transferee or shall remain in the hands of
the Former Member as a transferee Interest and not as a membership Interest,which shall
nevertheless remain subject to the restriction on transfer terms hereof.The holder of any transferee
Interest is only entitled to receive the distribution to which the transferor would be entitled.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary,the remaining Members may
mutually agree to an allocation of the Former Member's Interest to be purchased by each of them.
(c) The Former Member's Interest shall be valued according to its book value for federal
income tax purposes,provided,however that if any party to a Membership Interest transaction
described in Section 9.3(b)above believes such valuation varies from fair market value,an
appraisal may be requested.In such event,the Former Member's Interest shall equal the fair market
value of such Interest as determined by agreement within sixty(60)days after the notice of the
occurrence of a Dissolution Event or,in case of a failure to agree within such sixty(60)day period,
as determined by an appraiser agreeable to all parties,but if a single appraiser cannot be agreed
upon within such sixty(60)day period,as determined by three appraisers,one selected by the
Former Member or such Former Member's trustee(s)or heir(s),one selected by the remaining
Members,and one selected by the two appraisers so named. The appraiser shall be instructed to
appraise the fair market value of the underlying assets of the Company in determining the fair
market value of the Interest to be valued,with application of an appropriate discount to reflect lack
of marketability,lack of control,minority interest and as otherwise determined by the appraiser.
The fair market value of the Former Member's Interest in the Company shall be based upon the
average of the two appraisals closest in amount to each other. The Company and the Former
Member shall each pay one-half of the expense of the same. The purchase price shall be paid by
the Company(if all Members consent in writing)or such remaining Members,as the case may be,
either:(i)in five(5)equal annual installments of principal together with interest,commencing to
17
accrue from the date of closing,at the then current Long-Term Applicable Federal Rate(the
"AFR")under Section 1274(d)of the Code for the month in which the first payment is made(or a
rate per annum equal to what the AFR would be for such month under Section 1274(d)of the Code
if the AFR is no longer published)to fully amortize such purchase price over such five(5)
payments with the first payment being due and payable 15 days after the determination of the fair
market value of the Former Member's Interest in the Company,or(ii)within fifteen(15)days after
the determination of the fair market value of the Former Member's Interest in the Company,as the
Company and/or the remaining Members,as the case may be,may elect in their sole discretion.
Nothing contained herein is intended to prohibit Members from agreeing upon different terms and
conditions for the purchase by the Company or any Members of the Interest of any Former
Member.
9.4 Transfer to Spouse or Lineal Descendants. A Member may transfer by gift,
bequest or trust to his or her spouse or lineal descendants,all or any portion of his Units without
first offering any such Units to the other Members so long as such transfer does not cause a
violation of federal or state law and does not jeopardize the tax status of the Company. The
recipient of such Units shall be a mere transferee under this Agreement and the Wyoming Act
unless such recipient is admitted as Substitute Member in accordance with this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
ADDITIONAL AND SUBSTITUTE MEMBERS
10.1 Admission of New Members.From the effective date of this Agreement,with the
unanimous written consent of all the Members,any Person or Entity acceptable to the Manager
may,subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,become:(a)an Additional Member of
the Company by the sale of new Company Interests for such consideration as the Manager shall
determine,or(b)a Substitute Member by the transfer of existing Company Units in accordance
with this Agreement. An Additional Member or Substitute Member may not claim any Member
rights or receive any Member benefits until he has signed the original or a counterpart of this
Agreement,as it may be amended,indicating his agreement to the same and acceptance of its
terms.
10.2 Allocations to New Members. No Additional or Substitute Member shall be
entitled to any retroactive allocation of losses,income or expense deductions incurred by the
Company. The Manager may,at his option,at the time an Additional or Substitute Member is
admitted,close the Company books(as though the Company's tax year had ended)or make pro
rata allocations of loss,income and expense deductions to an Additional or Substitute Member for
that portion of the Company's tax year in which an Additional or Substitute Member was admitted,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 706(d)of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder.

time of such distribution.
11.5 Winding Up. Except as provided by law,upon dissolution,each Member shall
look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of his Capital Contribution.If the Company
property remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company is
insufficient to return the Capital Contribution of each Member,such Member shall have no
19
recourse against the Manager or any other Member. Further,no Member shall be required to
restore any deficit in his Capital Account and such deficit shall not be treated as an asset of the
Company.The winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets shall be
conducted exclusively by the Manager,who is hereby authorized to take all actions necessary to
accomplish such distribution, including without limitation, selling any Company assets the
Manager deems necessary or appropriate to sell.
