For the purposes of the Agreement, the.following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

2.1 Capital Account. The "Capital Account" of a Member shall mean the capital account of that Member determined from the inception of the Company strictly in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations.

Subject to the previous paragraph, "Capital Account" means:

(a): The amount of money contributed by the Member to the Company, increased by: (i) the fair market value of property contributed by the Member to the Company, if any (net of liabilities securing such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code (as defined below)); (ii) the net amount of income allocated to the Member; and decreased by (iii) the amount of money distributed to the Member; (iv) the fair market value of property distributed to the Member, if any, by the Company (net of liabilities securing such distributed property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code); (v) the Member's share of expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (including, for this purpose, losses which are non-deductible under Section 267(a)(1) or Section 707(b) of the Code); (vi) the Member's share of amounts paid or incurred by the Company to organize the Company or to promote the sale of (or to sell) an interest in the Company (except to the extent properly amortizable for tax purposes); and (vii) the net amount of loss allocated to the Member.

For this purpose, "income" refers to all items of income (including all items of gain and including income exempt from tax) as properly determined for "book" purposes, and "loss" refers to all items of loss (including deductions) as properly determined for "book" purposes. "Book" income and loss shall be determined based on the value of the Company's assets as set forth on the books of the Company to the extent permitted and in accordance with the principles of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d), (f), and

(g) of the Treasury Regulations (as defined below). Otherwise, book income and loss shall be determined strictly in accordance with federal income tax principles (including rules governing depreciation and amortization), applied hypothetically based on values of Company assets as set forth on the Company books.

Where two or more liabilities secured by a single asset are of equal priority, the asset basis shall be allocated among the liabilities pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the liabilities.

The Members agree that the Company shall withhold any taxes required to be so withheld under the Code or Treasury Regulations, and shall make any tax payments required to be made by the Company, under applicable law, on behalf of the Members. Further, the Members agree to provide to the Company, any information, documents or consents reasonably required or appropriate for compliance with applicable tax laws.

7. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses. Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated to each Member in proportion to his or her Membership Percentages; provided, however, that to the extent Treasury Regulations require allocations to be made otherwise for federal income tax purposes, such Treasury Regulations shall govern.

7.2 Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Net Loss shall be allocated to any Member to the extent each allocation would create or increase a deficit Capital Account balance of such Member while any other Member would have a positive Capital Account balance. Any such Net Loss shall instead be allocated to the other Members, pro rata in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (subject to any gain chargeback required to be made first under applicable Treasury Regulations), if in any taxable year of the Company (or other period) a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), or any successor provision thereto, or an allocation of Net Loss that causes such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance, such Member will be allocated items of income or gain to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This provision is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

7.3 Distributions. Subject to Article 9 (that is, other than assets of the Company being distributed upon the dissolution of the Company), distributions of cash or other property to the Members shall be made in accordance with the Membership Percentages.

7.4 Tax Allocations.

(a): To the extent that Section 704(c) of the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or Code Section 704(c) principles applicable under Treasury Regulations

Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) require allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit to be allocated for tax purposes (as opposed to "book" purposes) in a manner different from that set forth above in this Article 7, the provisions of Code Section 704(c) and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder shall control such tax allocations.

(b): In the event that the Company has taxable income that is characterized as ordinary income under the recapture provisions of the Code, each Member's distributive share of taxable gain or loss from the sale of Company assets (to the extent possible) shall include a proportionate share of this recapture income equal to that Member's prior share of prior cumulative depreciation deductions with respect to the assets which gave rise to the recapture income.

7.5 Application. The provisions in this Article 7 shall be applied in accordance with Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. This Article 7 shall be applied as if all distributions and allocations were made at the end of the Company's taxable year.

8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS OF UNITS; REDEMPTION OPTION

8.1 General. Except as expressly provided herein, no Member may transfer any portion of his or her interest in the Company, whether voluntarily or otherwise, without the unanimous express written consent of the Members.

8.2 Deceased Member. In the event of the death of a Member (such Member, the "Deceased Member"), the interest of the Deceased Member may be transferred to the Deceased Member's estate or heirs-at-law; provided, however, that within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice of such death, the Company shall have the right to acquire the Deceased Member's entire Membership Interest at a price equal to the fair market value of such Membership Interest (determined by closing the books as of the day prior to the date of redemption, with allocations to be made hereunder as if the taxable year of the Company had ended on that date).

8.3 Withdrawal of Member. In the event that any Member desires to sell all or any portion of his or her Membership Interest (such Member, the "Withdrawing Member"), he or she shall first notify the Company and, for a thirty (30) day period attempt to negotiate the sale of such Membership interest to the Company. If an agreement for the purchase of the Withdrawing Member's Membership Interest is not reached within such time period, the Withdrawing Member may contract to assign (but not substitute the assignee as a Member) his or her Membership Interest to a third party, and any such assignment is conclusively approved hereby, provided that (i) the Company shall have the right to purchase the Withdrawing Member's Membership Interest under the same terms and conditions of any such agreement to sell to a third ▇▇▇▇▇ within a thirty (30) clay period from receipt of written notice by the Withdrawing Member of such other agreement to purchase the Withdrawing Member's Membership Interest thereunder (which written notice must be provided to the Company by the Withdrawing Member); (ii) any such agreement shall be subject to the Company's right of purchase under clause (i) above; and (iii) any transferee must meet all requirements of this Article 8 and acknowledge that his or her interest is subject to the limitations upon transfer contained in this Article 8. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.3 to the contrary, any Member may assign (but not substitute the assignee as a new member) his or her entire Membership Interest to another Member or to an immediate family member without being subject to the right of first refusal or right of first negotiation of the Company set forth in this Section 8.3.

8.4 Terms of Payment. In the event that the Company elects to exercise its rights to purchase a Deceased Member's or Withdrawing Member's Membership Interest as set forth in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 above, the Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay the purchase price as set forth in such Sections 8.3 and 8.3 by (x) delivering immediately available funds at the closing of the purchase or (y) delivering a full recourse promissory note which shall (i) bear interest at a fixed rate per annum

equal to the prime lending rate charged by Bank of America Nevada on commercial loans maturing in less than one hundred eighty (180) days minus two hundred basis points (2%) as of the date that is seven (7) days prior to closing; (ii) be repaid with interest in equal installment payments (i.e., with the amortizing amount of principal repayments increasing) over a period not to exceed thirty-six (36) months; (iii) be prepayable in whole or in part without penalty; (iv) contain a provision that the prevailing party in a dispute related to such promissory note shall be entitled to attorney's fees; and (v) be secured by such assets of the Company as are not pledged to any other person on the date of closing.

8.5 Fair Market Value. For the purposes of this Article 8, "fair market value" of a Membership Interest shall be determined by agreement between the Deceased Member's legal representative and the Company; provided, however, that if no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Company of the applicable notice, such fair market value shall be determined as follows:

(a): The Deceased Member's legal representative and the Company shall agree upon a single appraiser or firm of appraisers.
(b): If the Deceased Member's legal representative and the Company cannot agree upon an appraiser within fifteen (15) days, then each shall choose an appraiser within fifteen (15) days thereafter by sending the other written notice of its selection. If either of the appraisers so chosen are for any reason unable or unwilling to serve, then a substitute appraiser may be appointed by the person who chose the defaulting appraiser. If either party shall fail to designate an appraiser within the time provided, then the sole appraiser so selected shall make the appraisal.
(c): The appraiser or appraisers thus chosen shall set a monetary figure on the going concern value of the Company within thirty (30) days after the last of them shall be chosen. In determining such value, none of the appraisers shall consider the effect to the business or business prospects of the Company of the death of the Deceased Member and there shall be no "control premiums" or "minority ownership discounts" in valuing the Company or any Membership Interest thereof. The appraisers appointed shall be provided with all available financial statements of the Company and any other information reasonably necessary to make the appraisal and shall have frill access to all books and records of the Corporation.
(d): If the appraisers thus chosen shall be unable to agree upon a value within thirty (30) days after the last of them shall have been chosen, they shall appoint a third appraiser within sixty (60) days after the last of them shall have been chosen.
(e): The value contained in the written report of the third appraiser shall constitute the fair market value; provided, however, that if such value is greater than the higher of the first two (2) appraisals; the higher of the first two (2) appraisals shall constitute the fair market value; and provided, further, that if the value contained in the appraisal report of the third appraiser is less than the lower of the first two (2) appraisals, the lower of the first two (2) appraisals shall constitute the fair market value. The cost of such appraisals shall be borne equally by the parties.

8.6 New Members. A new Member may be admitted to the Company only with the unanimous written consent of the Members, which consent shall be in the sole discretion of the Members. A new Member may be admitted upon execution of an amendment to this Agreement and the filing of an amendment to the Articles of Organization of the Company. Each new Member shall be admitted only if such new Member has executed an amendment to this Agreement, in which the new Member agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement as they may be modified by that amendment. A newly admitted Member's Capital Contribution and share of the Company's profits and

losses shall be set forth in an amendment to this Agreement containing the written consent of the Members agreeing to the admission of the new Member.
