Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III, if there is a net decrease in Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Unit Holder who has a share of the Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Unit Holder’s share of the net decrease in Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Unit Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 3.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as soon as practicable, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.3(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of: (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement; and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, then in such circumstance each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been made as if Sections 3.3(c) and 3.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to Units held.

(f) Unit Holder Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Unit Holder Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Unit Holder who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt to which such Unit Holder Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset, pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Unit Holder in complete liquidation of such Unit Holder’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Unit Holders in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Unit Holder to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(h) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Company Units. Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of Units by the Company to a Unit Holder (the “Issuance Items”) shall be allocated among the Unit Holders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Unit Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Unit Holder if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

3.4 Regulatory Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(c), 3.3(d), 3.3(e), 3.3(f), 3.3(g) and 3.5 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Unit Holders that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 3.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Directors shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Unit Holder’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Unit Holder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3(h).

3.5 Loss Limitation. Losses allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be allocated without causing any Unit Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Unit Holders would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the limitation set forth in this Section 3.5 shall be applied on a Unit Holder by Unit Holder basis and Losses not allocable to any Unit Holder as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Unit Holders in accordance with the positive balances in such Unit Holder’s Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Unit Holder under Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations.

3.6 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) For purposes of determining Profits, Losses and any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Directors using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(b) The Unit Holders are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article III and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article III in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Unit Holder’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Unit Holders’ aggregate interests in Company Profits shall be deemed to be as provided in the Capital Accounts. To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the Directors shall endeavor to treat distributions of Net Cash Flow as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Unit Holder Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Unit Holder.

(d) Profits and Losses to the Unit Holders shall be allocated among the Unit Holders in the ratio which each Unit Holder’s Units bears to the total number of Units issued and outstanding.

3.7 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Unit Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.10(t) of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Directors in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.7 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unit Holder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

3.8 Tax Credit Allocations. All income tax credits with respect to the Company’s property or operations shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Membership Interests for the Fiscal Year during which the expenditure, production, sale or other event giving rise to such credits occurs. This Section 3.8 is intended to comply with the applicable tax credit allocation principles of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(4)(ii) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

ARTICLE IV. DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Net Cash Flow. Subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable loan covenants and restrictions, the Directors, in their sole discretion, shall make distributions of Net Cash Flow, if any, to the Unit Holders in proportion to Units held. In determining Net Cash Flow, the Directors shall endeavor to provide for cash distributions at such times and in such amounts as will permit the Unit Holders to make timely payment of income taxes.

4.2 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or the Unit Holders shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Unit Holders with respect to which such amount was withheld pursuant to this Section 4.2 for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Unit Holders and to pay over to any federal, state, local or foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld, and shall allocate any such amounts to the Unit Holders with respect to which such amount was withheld.

4.3 Limitations on Distributions. The Company shall make no distributions to the Unit Holders except as provided in this Article IV and in Article X of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision, no distribution shall be made if not permitted to be made under the Act.

ARTICLE V. MANAGEMENT

5.1 Directors. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or required by law, the Directors shall direct the business and affairs and exercise all of the powers of the Company, and shall adopt such policies, rules, regulations and actions as they deem advisable. Subject to Section 5.6 of this Agreement or any other express provisions of this Agreement, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Directors and not by the Members. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the amendment or repeal of this Section 5.1, or the adoption

of any provision inconsistent herewith, shall require the approval of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests.

5.2 Number of Directors. The number of Directors shall be an odd number which cannot be less than Three (3) or more than Thirteen (13). Prior to any action by the Members to change or fix the number of Directors, the number of Directors may be changed from time to time within that variable range by the Directors. Once the Members have taken action to change or fix the number of Directors, the Directors shall no longer have any authority to change the number of Directors from the number last approved by the Members, unless and until such authority is again granted by the Members. The Members may increase or decrease the number of Directors last approved, and may change from a variable range to a fixed number or vice versa, at any annual or special meeting.

5.3 Election of Directors.

(a) Election; Terms. The initial Directors shall be appointed by the initial Members and shall serve until the first annual meeting of the Members following the date on which substantial operations of the Facilities commence, and in all cases until a successor is elected and qualified, or until the earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification of any such Director. After the expiration of the initial terms of the Directors, at each annual meeting of the Members, Directors shall be elected by the Members for staggered terms of Three (3) years (except as hereafter provided with respect to the initial terms of Group I and Group II Directors) and until a successor is elected and qualified, or until the earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification of any such Director. Unless the initial Directors agree unanimously on the classification of Directors, the initial Directors shall conduct a lottery to separately identify the Director positions to be elected at the first annual meeting following the date on which substantial operations of the Facilities commence, and shall so classify each such Director position as Group I, Group II or Group III, with such classification to serve as the basis for the staggering of terms among the elected Directors. The term of Group I Directors shall expire first (initial term of 1 year with successors elected to 3 year terms thereafter), followed by those of Group II Directors (initial term of 2 years with successors elected to 3 year terms thereafter), and then Group III Directors (initial and subsequent terms of 3 years). If at any time the number of Directors is changed as provided in Section 5.2 above, the number of Group I, Group II and Group III Directors shall be adjusted, as necessary, so that approximately One-Third (1/3) of the Directors are elected at each annual meeting of the Members.

(b) Nominations. Nominees for Director positions up for election shall be named by the then-current Directors or by a nominating committee established by the Directors. Nominations may also be made by any Member entitled to vote in the election of Directors. Any Member that intends to nominate a Person for election as a Director may do so only if written notice of such Member’s intent to make such nomination is given not less than Forty-Five (45) nor more than Ninety (90) days prior to the first day of the month corresponding to the anniversary date of the annual meeting of the Company for the prior year. Each such notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the Member who intends to make the nomination; (ii) a representation that the Member is a holder of record of Units entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the Person specified in the notice; (iii) the name, age, address and principal occupation/employment of each nominee; (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the Member and each nominee and any other Person(s) pursuant to which such nominations are to be made; (v) such other information regarding each nominee as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; (vi) the consent of each nominee to serve as a Director if so elected; and (vii) a nominating petition signed and dated by the holders of at least Five Percent (5%) of the then outstanding Units and clearly setting forth the proposed nominee as a candidate for the Director’s seat to be filled.

The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director. The presiding Officer of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, and if so determined, the defective nomination shall be disregarded. The amendment or repeal of this Section 5.3 or the adoption of any provision inconsistent therewith shall require the approval of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests.

5.4 Authority of Directors. Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Act, the Directors shall direct the management of the business and affairs of the Company and shall have all of the rights and powers which may be possessed by a “manager” under the Act including, without limitation, the right and power to do or perform, and the further right and power by resolution to delegate to the Officers or such other Persons as the Directors deem appropriate, the right and power to do or perform, the following:

(e) Borrow money and issue evidences of indebtedness necessary, convenient, or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company, and secure the same by mortgage, pledge or other lien on any Company assets;

(n) Agree with any Person as to the form and other terms and conditions of such Person’s Capital Contribution to the Company and cause the Company to issue Membership Interests and Units in consideration for such Capital Contribution; and

(o) Indemnify Members, Directors or Officers, or former Members, Directors or Officers, and to make any other indemnification that is authorized by this Agreement in accordance with, and to the fullest extent permitted by, the Act.

5.5 Director as Agent. Notwithstanding the power and authority of the Directors to manage the business and affairs of the Company, no Director shall have authority to act as agent for the Company for the purposes of its business (including the execution of any instrument on behalf of the Company) unless the Directors have authorized the Director to take such action.

5.6 Restrictions on Authority of Directors.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Directors shall not have authority to, and they covenant and agree that they shall not, do any of the following acts without the unanimous consent of the Members:


	(i)	Cause or permit the Company to engage in any activity that is not consistent with the purposes of the Company as set forth in Section 1.3 of this Agreement;

The actions specified herein as requiring the consent of the Members shall be in addition to any actions by the Director that are specified in the Act as requiring the consent or approval of the Members. Unless otherwise required by this Agreement or the Act, any such required consent or approval may be given by a vote of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests.

5.7 Meetings. A regular meeting of the Directors shall be held, without other notice than this Section, immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the Members. Additionally, the Directors may, by resolution, prescribe the time and place for holding regular meetings and may provide that such resolution constitutes notice thereof. If the Directors do not prescribe the time and place for the holding of regular meetings, such regular meetings shall be held at the time and place specified in the notice of each such regular meeting. Unless otherwise prescribed by statute, special meetings may be called by, or at the request of, the President or any Two (2) or more Directors. The Directors may designate any location as the place of any regular or special meeting. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Company.

5.8 Notice. Notice shall be given to each Director with respect to any special meeting of the Directors, stating the date, time and place of the meeting. Such notice shall be given at least Two (2) days prior thereto and shall be in writing, unless oral notice is reasonable under the circumstances. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered on the earlier of Five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail addressed to the Director’s address as shown on the Company’s records with postage prepaid, or upon receipt. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting. Except as provided in the next sentence, the waiver must be in writing, signed by the Director entitled to notice, and filed with the minutes relating to the action taken. A Director’s attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such Director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

5.9 Conduct of Meeting. All Directors, to the extent possible, shall personally attend all Directors meetings. However, any Director may participate in any regular or special meeting by any means of communication by which all Directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A Director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person.

5.10 Quorum. A majority of the duly elected and qualified Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If less than a quorum is represented at a meeting, the Directors represented may adjourn the meeting and reschedule it for a later date without further notice. At such adjourned and rescheduled meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Directors present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of Directors to leave less than a quorum.

5.11 Manner of Acting; Informal Action. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Directors. Unless otherwise provided by law, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Directors may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by all Directors entitled to vote with respect the subject matter thereof. Unless otherwise provided by law or in this Agreement, any or all of the Board of Directors may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A Director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

5.12 Presumption of Assent. A Director present at a meeting shall be presumed to have assented to action taken, unless the dissent of such Director is entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless such Director files a written dissent to such action with the other Directors before the adjournment thereof or forwards such dissent by mail to the other Directors immediately after the adjournment thereof. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favor of an action.

5.13 Removal of Directors. The Members may remove a Director, with or without cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, if notice has been given that a purpose of the meeting is such removal.

5.14 Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of such Director’s predecessor in office. Any vacancy to be filled by reason of any increase in the number of Directors shall be filled by election at an annual or special meeting of the Members called for that purpose.

5.15 Compensation. The Directors shall have authority to establish reasonable compensation of all Directors for services to the Company as Directors, officers or otherwise, and to provide for reimbursement to Directors of their reasonable expenses of attending Directors’ meetings.

5.16 Committees; Authority. The Directors may create such committees, and appoint such Directors to serve on them, as the Directors deem appropriate. Each committee must have Two (2) or more Directors, who serve at the pleasure of the Directors. The creation of a committee, and the appointment of Directors to serve on it, must be approved by a majority of the Directors. The procedural requirements for Board meetings under this Article V shall also apply to committee meetings. Board committees may exercise only those aspects of the Directors’ authority which are expressly conferred by the Directors by express resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a committee may not, under any circumstances: (i) apportion or authorize distributions; (ii) approve or propose any action for which the Act requires Member approval; (iii) elect Officers; (iv) fill vacancies on the Board or on any of its

committees; (v) adopt, amend, or repeal the Articles or this Agreement; (vi) approve a plan of merger; (vii) authorize or approve the reacquisition of Units, except according to a formula or method prescribed by the Directors; or (ix) authorize or approve the issuance or sale or contract for sale of Units or determine the designation and relative rights, preferences, and limitations of a class or series of Units.

5.17 Voting; Potential Financial Interest. No Director shall be disqualified from voting on any matter solely by reason of such Director’s (or his/her Affiliate’s) potential financial interest in the outcome of such vote, provided that the nature of such potential financial interest was reasonably disclosed at the time of such vote.

5.18 Duties and Obligations of Directors. The Directors shall cause the Company to conduct its business and operations separate and apart from that of any Director or any Director’s Affiliates. The Directors shall take all actions which may be necessary or appropriate: (i) for the continuation of the Company’s valid existence as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Iowa and each other jurisdiction in which such existence is necessary to protect the limited liability of Members or to enable the Company to conduct the business in which it is engaged; and (ii) for the accomplishment of the Company’s purposes, including the acquisition, development, maintenance, preservation, and operation of Company Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations. Each Director shall have the duty to discharge the foregoing duties in good faith, in a manner the Director believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. The Directors shall be under no other fiduciary duty to the Company or the Members to conduct the affairs of the Company in a particular manner.

5.19 Officers. The officers of the Company shall be appointed by the Directors and shall include a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and such other Officers and assistant Officers as the Directors shall determine. One person may simultaneously hold more than one office. The Officers’ terms shall be specified by the Directors. If no term is specified, they shall hold office until the first meeting of the Directors held after the next annual meeting of the Members. If the appointment of Officers shall not be made at such meeting, such appointment shall be made as soon thereafter as is convenient. Each Officer shall hold office until the officer’s successor is duly appointed and qualified, until the Officer’s death, or until the Officer resigns or is removed by the Directors. The designation of a specified term does not grant to an Officer any contract rights; and unless otherwise provided in a signed contract with the Company, Officers will be “at-will employees” subject to removal by the Directors at any time, with or without cause.

Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the President or the Secretary of the Company. Unless otherwise noted in the notice, the resignation shall be effective upon receipt.

The Officers, and their duties and responsibilities shall be as follows:

(a) President. The President shall be the principal executive officer of the Company and shall, subject to Directors’ control, generally supervise and control the Company’s business and affairs. The President shall, when present, preside at all Directors’ and Member meetings, and shall perform all duties incident to the office of President and such other duties as may be prescribed by this Agreement or by the Directors.

(b) The Vice President(s). If one or more Vice Presidents are appointed by the Directors, the Vice President (or in the event there be more than one, the appropriate Vice President, as designated by the Directors, or in the absence of any designation, then in the order of appointment) shall perform the duties of the President in the event of the President’s absence, death, inability or refusal to act. When so

acting, a Vice President shall have all of the powers, and be subject to all of the restrictions upon, the President. In addition, Vice Presidents shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by this Agreement or by the Directors.

(c) The Secretary. The Secretary shall: (i) keep the minutes of the Director and Member meetings; (ii) see that all notices are duly given in accordance with this Agreement and as required by law; (iii) serve as the custodian of the Company’s records; (iv) when requested or required, authenticate any Company records; (v) keep and maintain the Unit Holder Register and the Unit transfer books of the Company; and (vi) perform all duties incident to the office of Secretary and such other duties as may be prescribed by this Agreement or by the Directors.

(d) The Treasurer. The Treasurer shall: (i) have charge and custody of, and be responsible for, all funds and securities of the Company; (ii) receive and give receipts for moneys due and payable to the Company, and deposit all such moneys in the name of the Company in such banks, trust companies or other depositories as shall be selected in accordance with this Agreement; and (iv) generally perform all duties incident to the office of Treasurer and such other duties as may be prescribed by this Agreement or by the Directors.

(e) Other Assistants and Acting Officers. The Directors shall have the power to appoint any Person to act as assistant to any Officer, or to perform the duties of such Officer, whenever for any reason it is impracticable for such officer to act personally. Any such assistant or acting Officer shall have the power to perform all the duties of the office to which he or she is appointed to be an assistant, or as to which he or she is appointed to act, except as such power may be otherwise defined or restricted by the Directors. Additionally, unless prohibited by a resolution of the Directors, any Officer may delegate in writing some or all of the duties and powers of such Officer’s position to other Persons. An Officer who delegates the duties or powers of an office remains subject to the standard of conduct for such Officer with respect to the discharge of all duties and powers so delegated.

Salaries of the Officers shall be fixed from time to time by the Directors, and no Officer shall be prevented from receiving a salary due to the fact that such Officer is also a Director.

5.20 Execution of Instruments. All deeds, mortgages, bonds, checks, contracts and other instruments pertaining to the business and affairs of the Company shall be signed on behalf of the Company by: (i) the President; or (ii) such other Officers or Persons who may be authorized to do so by specific resolution of the Directors.

5.21 Limitation of Liability; Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted under the Act and other applicable law, no Member, Director or Officer shall be personally liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company merely by reason of being a Member, Director or Officer. Furthermore, no Director or Officer shall be personally liable to the Company or its Members for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty by such Director or Officer; provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a Director or Officer for any of the following: (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its Members; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; or (iii) a transaction from which the Director or Officer derived an improper personal benefit or a wrongful distribution in violation of Section 807 of the Act.

ARTICLE VI. MEMBERSHIP UNITS; MEMBERS

6.1 Membership Units. The Company is initially organized with One (1) class of Membership Interests, designated in Units, which Units are initially the only class of equity in the Company. The Units shall have no par value and shall be of a single class with identical rights. The Company shall have a first lien on the Units of any Member for any debt or liability owed by such Member to the Company. Additional and different classes of Membership Interests represented by different Units may be created and issued to new or existing Members on such terms and conditions as the Directors may determine. Such additional and different classes may have different rights, powers and preferences (including, without limitation, voting rights and distribution preferences), which may be superior to those of existing Members. Members shall have no preemptive rights to acquire additional or newly created Units.

6.2 Certificates; Surrender for Transfer. Certificates representing Units shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Directors, in their discretion. If a certificate is lost, destroyed or mutilated, a new one may be issued upon such terms and indemnity to the Company as the Directors may prescribe. No new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of Units has been surrendered and canceled.

6.3 Members. Each Person who desires to become a Member must complete and execute a signature page to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit “B” attached hereto and such other documents as may be required by the Directors. Membership Interests and Units of the Members shall be set forth on the Unit Holder Register.

6.4 Additional Members. No Person shall become a Member without the approval of the Directors. The Directors may refuse to admit any Person as a Member in their sole discretion. Any such admission must comply with the requirements described in this Agreement and will be effective only after such Person has executed and delivered to the Company such documentation as determined by the Directors to be necessary and appropriate to effect such admission. No Person, Related Party, Affiliate, or any Person or entity related to such Person, Related Party, or Affiliate within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code, shall acquire, without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, Units constituting more than 30% (thirty percent) of the total outstanding Membership Voting Interests of the Company or Units constituting, in the aggregate, a Membership Economic Interest of more than $1,000,000 (One Million Dollars).

6.5 Members’ Voting Rights. Each Member shall be entitled to One (1) vote for each Unit registered in the name of such Member (as shown in the Unit Holder Register) as to any matter for which such Member is entitled to vote under this Agreement or the Act. Members do not have cumulative voting rights as to any matter. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Members shall not have any right or power to take part in the management or control of the Company or its business and affairs or to act for or bind the Company in any way.

6.6 Member Meetings. Beginning with the fiscal year ending in calendar year 2007, or sooner as determined by the Directors, and each Fiscal Year thereafter, an annual meeting of the Members shall be held on or about the 20^th day of March following the close of the Company’s Fiscal Year, at a time and date determined by the Directors. Special meetings of the Members, for any purpose(s) described in the meeting notice, may be called by the Directors, and shall be called by the Directors at the request of not less than Thirty Percent (30%) of all Members. A call by the Members for a special meeting shall be in writing, signed by the persons calling for the same, addressed and delivered to the Secretary, and shall state the time and purpose(s) of such meeting.

6.7 Place of Meeting. The Directors, or in the absence of action by the Directors, the President, may designate any place within or without of the State of Iowa as the place for any meeting of the Members, unless by written consents, all Members entitled to vote at the meeting designate a different place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is made by the Directors, the President or by unanimous action of the Members, the place of meetings shall be at the principal office of the Company in the State of Iowa.

6.8 Conduct of Meetings. Subject to the discretion of the Directors, the Members may participate in any Member meeting by means of telephone conference or similar means of communication by which all participants in the meeting can hear and be heard by all other participants.

6.9 Notice. Written notice stating the place and time of any annual or special Member meeting shall be delivered or mailed not less than Five (5) nor more than Sixty (60) days prior to the meeting date, to each Member of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the close of business on the day before said notice is delivered or mailed. Such notices shall be deemed to be effective upon the earlier of: (i) deposit postage-prepaid in the U.S. mail, addressed to the Member at the Member’s address as it appears on the Unit Holder Register, or such other address as may have been provided in writing to the Company by a Member; (ii) the date shown on the return receipt if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; or (iii) actual receipt.

6.10 Contents of Notice. The notice of each Member meeting shall include a description of the purpose(s) for which the meeting is called. If a purpose of any Member meeting is to consider: (i) a proposed amendment to or restatement of the Articles requiring Member approval; (ii) a plan of merger or share exchange; (iii) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all, or substantially all of the Company’s Property; (iv) the dissolution of the Company; or (v) removal of a Director, then the notice must so state and must be accompanied, as applicable, by a copy or summary of the (1) amendment(s) to the Articles, (2) plan of merger or share exchange, (3) documents relating to the transaction for the disposition of all the Company’s property, and/or (4) plan and Articles of Dissolution.

If any Member meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time or place, if the new date, time and place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided that, if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, then notice must be given to new Members as of the new record date.

6.12 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Member under the Act, the Articles or this Agreement, a waiver in writing, signed by such Member shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Furthermore, a Member’s attendance at a meeting waives any objection that the Member might otherwise raise based on lack of notice or defective notice, unless the Member: (i) objects at the outset of the meeting; or (ii) in the case of an objection claiming that consideration of a particular matter is not within the purposes described in the meeting notice, objects at the time such matter is presented, and in either case, thereafter does not participate in the meeting.

6.13 Fixing of Record Date. For purposes of determining the Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any Member meeting or any adjournment thereof, or for purposes of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of the Members for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Unit Transfer books shall be closed for a stated period, not to exceed Sixty (60) days. If the Unit Transfer books shall be closed for such purpose, such books shall be closed for at least Ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the Unit Transfer books, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of Members, such date in any case to be not more than Sixty (60) days, and in case of a meeting of Members not less than Ten (10) days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination is to be taken. If the Unit Transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring a dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of the Members has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Directors fix a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than One Hundred Twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

6.14 Quorum and Proxies. The presence (in person or by proxy or mail ballot) of Members representing at least Thirty Percent (30%) of the Membership Voting Interests is required for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Members. Voting by proxy or by mail ballot shall be permitted on any matter if authorized by the Directors.

6.15 Voting; Action by Members. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter (including units represented in person, by proxy or by mail ballot when authorized by the Directors) shall constitute the act of the Members, unless the vote of a greater or lesser proportion or numbers is otherwise required by this Agreement.

6.16 Termination of Membership. If for any reason the membership of a Member is terminated as provided in this Agreement or the Act, the Member whose membership has terminated loses all Membership Voting Interests and shall be considered merely an unadmitted Assignee of the Membership Economic Interest owned before the termination of membership, having only the rights provided for unadmitted Assignees in Section 9.7 hereof.

6.17 Continuation of the Company. The Company shall not be dissolved upon the occurrence of any event that is deemed to terminate the continued membership of a Member, but rather the Company shall continue without dissolution, and its affairs shall not be required to be wound up.

6.18 No Member Right of Redemption or Return of Capital. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Act, no Member or transferee of any Member shall have any right to demand or receive a return of his/her/its Capital Contribution or to require the redemption of his/her/its Units.

6.19 Waiver of Dissenters Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, each Member hereby disclaims, waives and agrees not to assert: (i) any dissenters’ or similar rights under the Act; (ii) any right to require partition or appraisal of the Company or of any of its assets, or to cause the sale of any Company Property; or (iii) any right to maintain any action for partition or to compel any sale with respect to such Member’s Units, or with respect to any Company Property.

6.20 Loans. Any Member or Affiliate may, with the consent of the Directors, lend or advance money to the Company, in which case the amount of any such loan or advance shall not be treated as a

contribution to the capital of the Company but rather shall be a debt due from the Company, repayable out of the Company’s cash, and shall bear interest at a rate not in excess of the prime rate established, from time to time, by any major bank selected by the Directors for loans to its most creditworthy commercial borrowers, plus Four Percent (4%) per annum. If a Director or an Affiliate of a Director is the lending Member, the rate of interest and the terms and conditions of such loan shall be no less favorable to the Company than if the lender had been an independent third party. None of the Members or their Affiliates shall be obligated to make any loan or advance to the Company.

Any Member or such Member’s designated representative shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the information and documents kept by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement. The rights granted to a Member pursuant to this Section 7.2 are expressly subject to compliance by such Member with the safety, security and confidentiality procedures and guidelines of the Company, as such procedures and guidelines may be amended from time to time. Upon the request of any Member for purposes reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a Member, the Directors shall promptly deliver to the requesting Member, at the expense of the requesting Member, a copy of the information required to be maintained under Section 7.1 of this Agreement. Each Member has the right, upon reasonable request for purposes reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a Member and for proper purposes, to: (i) inspect and copy during normal business hours any of the Company records described in Section 7.1 of this Agreement; and (ii) obtain from the Directors, promptly after their becoming available, copies of the Company’s federal, state and local income tax and information returns for each Fiscal Year.

Delivery of the financial statements shall occur as soon as practicable following the end of each Fiscal Year (and in any event not later than 120 days after the end of such Fiscal Year), and at such time as distributions are made to the Unit Holders pursuant to Article X of this Agreement following the occurrence of a Dissolution Event. The financial statements shall consist of a balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such Fiscal Year and the related statements of operations, Unit Holders’ Capital

Accounts and changes therein, and cash flows for such Fiscal Year, together with appropriate notes to such financial statements and supporting schedules, all of which shall be audited and certified by the Company’s accountants, and in each case setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year end (in the case of the balance sheet) and the Two (2) immediately preceding Fiscal Years (in the case of the statements). Public access to the financial statements through either the Company’s or the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website shall constitute delivery pursuant to this Section 7.3.

7.4 Tax Matters. The Directors shall, without any further consent of the Unit Holders being required (except as specifically required herein), make any and all elections for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes as the Directors shall determine appropriate and shall have the right and authority to represent the Company and the Unit Holders before taxing authorities or courts of competent jurisdiction in tax matters affecting the Company or the Unit Holders in their capacities as Unit Holders, and to file any tax returns and execute any agreements or other documents relating to or affecting such tax matters, including agreements or other documents that bind the Unit Holders with respect to such tax matters or otherwise affect the rights of the Company and the Unit Holders. The Directors shall designate a Person to be specifically authorized to act as the “Tax Matters Member” under the Code and in any similar capacity under state or local law; provided, however, that the Directors shall have the authority to designate, remove and replace the Tax Matters Member who shall act as the tax matters partner within the meaning of and pursuant to Regulations Sections 301.6231(a)(7)-1 and -2 or any similar provision under state or local law.

8.1 Amendments. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the Directors or any Member. Following any such proposal, the Directors shall submit to the Members a verbatim statement of any proposed amendment (provided that counsel for the Company shall have approved of the same in writing as to form), and the Directors shall include therewith a recommendation as to the proposed amendment. The Directors shall seek the written vote of the Members on the proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that it may deem appropriate. A proposed amendment shall be adopted and be effective as an amendment to this Agreement only if approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests represented at a Member meeting at which a quorum of the Members is present. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8.1 to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be amended without the consent of each Member adversely affected if such amendment would modify the limited liability of a Member, or alter the Membership Economic Interest of a Member.

ARTICLE IX. TRANSFERS

9.1 Restrictions on Transfers. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Units. In the event that any Member pledges or otherwise encumbers all or any part of such Member’s Units as security for the payment of a Debt, any such pledge or hypothecation shall be made pursuant to a pledge or hypothecation agreement that requires the pledgee or secured party to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all other agreements governing the rights and obligations of Unit Holders in the event such pledgee or secured party becomes a Unit Holder hereunder.

9.2 Permitted Transfers. Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Article IX, a Unit Holder may: (a) at any time Transfer all or any portion of such Unit Holder’s Units (i) to the transferor’s administrator or trustee to whom such Units are Transferred involuntarily by operation of law, or (ii)

without consideration to or in trust for descendants of a Member; or (b) at any time following the date on which substantial operations of the Facilities commence, Transfer all or any portion of such Unit Holder’s Units (i) to any Person approved by the Directors, in writing, or (ii) to any Affiliate or Related Party of such Unit Holder. Any such Transfer set forth in this Section 9.2 and meeting the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 below is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transfer.”

9.3 Conditions Precedent to Transfers. In addition to the conditions set forth above, no Transfer of Units shall be effective unless and until all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(a) Except in the case of a Transfer involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor and transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of Transfer as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to the Company to affect such Transfer. In the case of a Transfer of Units involuntarily by operation of law, the Transfer shall be confirmed by presentation to the Company of legal evidence of such Transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the Company. In all cases, the transferor and/or transferee shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses connected with the Transfer and the admission of the Transferee as a Member and incurred as a result of such Transfer, including but not limited to, legal fees and costs.

(b) The transferor and transferee shall furnish the Company with the transferee’s taxpayer identification number, sufficient information to determine the transferee’s initial tax basis in the Units Transferred, and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns. The Company shall not be required to make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any Transferred Units until it has received such information.

(c) Except in the case of a Transfer of any Units involuntarily by operation of law, either (i) such Units shall be registered under the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) the transferor shall provide an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Directors, to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from all applicable registration requirements and that such Transfer will not violate any applicable laws regulating the Transfer of securities.

(d) Except in the case of a Transfer of Units involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor shall provide an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Directors, to the effect that such Transfer will not cause the Company to be deemed to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

(e) Unless otherwise approved by the Directors and Members representing in the aggregate a 75% majority of the Membership Voting Interests, no Transfer of Units shall be made except upon terms which would not, in the opinion of counsel chosen by the Directors, result in the termination of the Company within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code or cause the application of the rules of Sections 168(g)(l)(B) and 168(h) of the Code or similar rules to apply to the Company. If the immediate Transfer of such Unit would, in the opinion of such counsel, cause a termination within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code, then if, in the opinion of such counsel, the following action would not precipitate such termination, the transferor Member shall be entitled to (or required, as the case may be): (i) immediately Transfer only that portion of its Units as may, in the opinion of such counsel, be Transferred without causing such a termination; and (ii) enter into an agreement to Transfer the remainder of its Units, in one or more Transfers, at the earliest date or dates on which such Transfer or Transfers may be effected without causing such termination. The purchase price for the Units shall be allocated between the immediate Transfer and the deferred Transfer or Transfers pro rata on the basis of the percentage of the aggregate Units being Transferred, each portion to be payable when the respective Transfer is consummated, unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the Transfer. In the case of a Transfer by one

Member to another Member, the deferred purchase price shall be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account unless another method of securing the payment thereof is agreed upon by the transferor Member and the transferee Member(s).

(f) No notice or request initiating the procedures contemplated by this Section 9.3 may be given by any Member after a Dissolution Event has occurred. No Member may sell all or any portion of its Units after a Dissolution Event has occurred.

(g) No Person shall Transfer any Unit if, in the determination of the Directors, such Transfer would cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code.

The Directors shall have the authority to waive any legal opinion or other condition required in this Section 9.3 other than the Member approval requirement set forth in Section 9.3(e).

9.4 Prohibited Transfers. Any purported Transfer of Units that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever; provided that, if the Company is required to recognize a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer (or if the Directors, in their sole discretion, elect to recognize a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer): (i) the transferee’s rights shall be strictly limited to the transferor’s Membership Economic Interests associated with such Units; and (ii) the Company may offset against such Membership Economic Interests (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company) any debts, obligations or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee may have to the Company. In the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer of Units that is not a Permitted Transfer, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all cost, liability and damage that such parties may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liabilities, attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result thereof.

9.5 No Dissolution or Termination. The Transfer of Units pursuant to the terms of this Article IX shall not dissolve or terminate the Company. No Member shall have the right to have the Company dissolved or to have such Member’s Capital Contribution returned except as provided in this Agreement.

9.6 Prohibition of Assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, no Transfer of Units may be made if the Units sought to be sold, exchanged or Transferred, when added to the total of all other Units sold, exchanged or Transferred within the period of Twelve (12) consecutive months prior thereto, would result in the termination of the Company under Section 708 of the Code. In the event of a Transfer of any Units, the Members will determine, in their sole discretion, whether or not the Company will elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (or corresponding provisions of future law) to adjust the basis of the assets of the Company.

9.7 Rights of Unadmitted Assignees. A Person who acquires Units but who is not admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 9.8 of this Agreement shall be entitled only to the Membership Economic Interests with respect to such Units in accordance with this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to the Membership Voting Interests with respect to such Units. In addition, such Person shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Company, and shall not have any of the other rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement.

9.8 Admission of Substitute Members. As to Permitted Transfers, a transferee of Units shall be admitted as a substitute Member provided that such transferee has complied with the following provisions:


	(a) The transferee shall, by written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Directors, agree to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and assume the obligations of the transferor Member hereunder with respect to the Transferred Units.

	(b) The transferee shall pay for or reimburse the Company for all reasonable legal, filing and publication costs incurred in connection with the admission of the transferee as a Member; and

	(c) Except in the case of a Transfer involuntarily by operation of law, if required by the Directors, the transferee shall deliver to the Company evidence of his/her/its authority to become a Member.

	(d) The transferee and transferor shall each execute and deliver such other instruments as the Directors reasonably deem necessary or appropriate in connection with such Transfer.

9.9 Representations Regarding Transfers. Each Member hereby covenants and agrees with the Company for the benefit of the Company and all Members, that: (i) it is not currently making a market in Units and will not in the future make a market in Units; (ii) it will not Transfer its Units on an established securities market, a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b) (and any Regulations, proposed Regulations, revenue rulings, or other official pronouncements of the IRS or the Treasury Department that may be promulgated or published thereunder); and (iii) in the event such Regulations, revenue rulings, or other pronouncements treat any or all arrangements which facilitate the selling of Units (commonly referred to as “matching services”) as being a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof, no Member will Transfer any Units through a matching service that is not approved in advance by the Company. Each Member further agrees that it will not Transfer any Units to any Person unless such Person first agrees to be bound by this Article IX.

Each Member hereby represents and warrants to the Company and the Members that such Member’s acquisition of Units hereunder is made as principal for such Member’s own account and not for resale or distribution of such Units. Each Member further hereby agrees that the following legend, as the same may be amended by the Directors in their sole discretion, may be placed upon any counterpart of this Agreement, the Articles, or any other document or instrument evidencing ownership of Units:


	THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE MEMBERSHIP UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED. SUCH UNITS MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, OR TRANSFERRED, AND NO ASSIGNEE, VENDEE, TRANSFEREE OR ENDORSEE THEREOF WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS HAVING ACQUIRED ANY SUCH UNITS FOR ANY PURPOSES, UNLESS AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION, OR ASSIGNMENT IS PERMITTED BY, AND IS COMPLETED IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH, APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAW AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE OPERATING AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.

	THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF

If any Units are Transferred during any Fiscal Year in compliance with the provisions of this Article IX, Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the Transferred Units for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Directors. All distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee. Solely for purposes of making such allocations and distributions, the Company shall recognize such Transfer to be effective not later than the first day of the month following the month in which all documents to effectuate the Transfer have been executed and delivered to the Company, provided that, if the Company does not receive a notice stating the date such Units were Transferred and such other information as the Directors may reasonably require within Thirty (30) days after the end of the Fiscal Year during which the Transfer occurs, then all such items shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the person or entity who, according to the books and records of the Company, was the owner of the Units on the last day of such Fiscal Year. Neither the Company nor any Member shall incur any liability for making allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.10, whether or not the Directors or the Company has knowledge of any Transfer of any Units.

9.11 Additional Members. Additional Members may be admitted from time to time upon the approval of the Directors, and in accordance with such terms and conditions, as the Directors may determine.

Prior to admission as a Member, a prospective Member shall agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement shall and execute and deliver to the Company an Addendum to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit “B” attached hereto. Upon the execution of such Addendum, such additional Member shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement as if such additional Member had executed this Agreement on the original date hereof, and shall be bound by all of the provisions set forth herein.

The Liquidator shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and Property and shall cause the Property or the proceeds from the sale thereof (as determined pursuant to Section 10.8 of this Agreement), to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in the following order: (i) first, to creditors (including Members and Directors who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law) in satisfaction of all of the Company’s Debts and other liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), other than liabilities for which reasonable provision for payment has been made; and (ii) second, except as provided in this Agreement, to Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions pursuant to the Act; (iii) third, the balance, if any, to the Unit Holders in accordance with the positive balance in their Capital Accounts calculated after making the required adjustment set forth in clause (ii)(C) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.10 of this Agreement, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

10.3 Compliance with Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts. In the event the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article X to the Unit Holders who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Unit Holder has a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Fiscal Years, including the Fiscal Year during which such liquidation occurs), such Unit Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Unit Holders pursuant to this Article X may be: (i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Unit Holders for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company, in which case the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Unit Holders from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement; or (b) withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Unit Holders as soon as practicable.

10.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, in the event the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Dissolution Event has occurred, the Property shall not be liquidated, the Company’s Debts and other liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up.

10.5 Rights of Unit Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Unit Holder shall look solely to the Property of the Company for the return of such Unit Holder’s Capital Contribution and shall have no right or power to demand or receive Property other than cash from the Company. If the assets of the Company remaining after payment or discharge of the debts or liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contribution, the Unit Holders shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Unit Holder or Directors.

10.6 Allocations During Period of Liquidation. During the period commencing on the first day of the Fiscal Year during which a Dissolution Event occurs and ending on the date on which all of the assets of the Company have been distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement (the

“Liquidation Period”), the Unit Holders shall continue to share Profits, Losses, gain, loss and other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in the manner provided in Article III of this Agreement.

10.7 Character of Liquidating Distributions. All payments made in liquidation of the interest of a Unit Holder shall be made in exchange for the interest of such Unit Holder in Property pursuant to Section 736(b)(l) of the Code, including the interest of such Unit Holder in Company goodwill.

10.8 The Liquidator. The “Liquidator” shall mean a Person appointed by the Directors to oversee the liquidation of the Company. Upon the consent of a majority in interest of the Members, the Liquidator may be the Directors. The Company is authorized to pay a reasonable fee to the Liquidator for its services performed pursuant to this Article X and to reimburse the Liquidator for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in performing those services. The Company shall indemnify, save harmless, and pay all judgments and claims against such Liquidator and any officers, directors, agents and employees of the Liquidator relating to any liability or damage incurred by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Liquidator, or any officers, directors, agents or employees of the Liquidator in connection with the liquidation of the Company, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense of any action based on any such act or omission, which attorneys’ fees may be paid as incurred, except to the extent such liability or damage is caused by fraud, intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of the laws which was material to the cause of action.

10.9 Forms of Liquidating Distributions. For purposes of making distributions required by Section 10.2 of this Agreement, the Liquidator may determine whether to distribute all or any portion of the Property in-kind or to sell all or any portion of the Property and distribute the proceeds therefrom.
