3. Section 5.2(a) of the Operating Agreement is hereby amended to read
in its entirety as follows:
"The Management Committee shall consist of not less than three nor more
than eight members, the exact number of which shall be determined from
time to time by resolution adopted by Supermajority Vote. If any member
of the Management Committee ceases to be a Member or employee of the
Company for any reason, such person's membership on the Management
Committee shall terminate automatically, in the case of Management
Committee member who is a Member of the Company, upon his Termination
Date or, in the case of a Management Committee member who is an
employee of the Company, upon the effective date of termination of such
employee. A member of the Management Committee may resign at any time
by notice to the other members of the Management Committee, and the
Management Committee may remove a member of the Management Committee by
notice to such member; such resignation or removal shall be effective
at the time specified in the notice. The resignation or removal of a
member of the Management Committee shall not, in and of itself, affect,
in the case of Management Committee member who is a Member of the
Company, the interest of such Member in the Company or, in the case of
a Management Committee member who is an employee of the Company, his
employment status with the Company. Any vacancy in the Management
Committee, whether by a member of the Management Committee ceasing to
be such a member or by an increase in the size of the Management
Committee, shall be filled by a Supermajority."
4. Schedule A to the Operating Agreement is hereby deleted and Schedule
A annexed to this Amendment shall be substituted therefor.
5. In all other respects the Operating Agreement is hereby ratified and
confirmed in its entirety.
