The holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to distributions as provided in Section V.

3.2.2 Preferred Shares. In consideration of its initial Capital Contribution to the Company, as set forth on Exhibit A, the Company has issued to the Preferred Member the number of Series A Preferred Shares set forth next to the Preferred Member’s name on Exhibit A. The Series A Preferred Shares shall have such distribution rights, liquidation preferences, redemption provisions, voting rights, conversion and exchange rights and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and other terms and provisions as set forth in Section IV.

3.2.3 Common Shares and MT Family Limited Partnership Loan. As of the date hereof, the Company owes approximately $711,000 to the MT FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Arizona limited partnership (“MT”), under the Amended and Restated Promissory Note, dated as of May 1, 2007, and attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement (the “MT Note”), which MT Note is by this reference made a part hereof. The Company is obliged to pay off the MT Note in full prior to the closing of transferring of all remaining interests in the company to the Preferred Member, after Preferred Member’s exercise of the Option. Preferred Member agrees to provide no less than one week advance written notice to the Company prior to the closing of transferring such remaining interests, and further agrees to cooperate with the Company (including, if necessary, to fund the Company with sufficient cash) regarding the payoff of the MT Note and any obligation of the Company under the SAR Plan. The Members agree that any such direct funding by Preferred Member to the Company of sufficient funds to satisfy the obligations under the MT Note and the SAR Plan prior to closing will reduce the aggregate purchase price of the remaining interests by the amount of such funding by Preferred Member. At such time as the MT Note is fully satisfied and has been paid off, such number of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx’x Common Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company, in equal proportions, to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, such that immediately following the pay-off of the MT Note, each of these three Common Members will own approximately an equal number of Common Shares, as further set forth in Exhibit D to this Agreement, but the aggregate number Common Shares owned by Xx. Xxxxxxxx, Xx. Xxxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxx remain the same.

3.2.4 No Additional Capital Contributions. No Member will be required to make additional Capital Contributions.

3.3 Withdrawal or Return of Capital Contributions. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, no Interest Holder shall have the right to withdraw or reduce the Capital Contributions such Interest Holder makes to the Company. Upon dissolution of the Company or liquidation of such Interest Holder’s Shares, each Interest Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Company for return of such Interest Holder’s Capital Contributions and, if the Company's property remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return the Capital contributions of each Interest Holder, no Interest Holder shall have any recourse against the Company, any Interest Holder, or Manager, except for gross negligence, malfeasance, bad faith, or fraud.

3.4 Form of Return of Capital. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital Contributions, no Interest Holder shall have the right to receive property other than cash except as may be specifically provided herein.

3.5 Salary or Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.12 of this Agreement, no Interest Holder or Manager shall receive any interest, salary, or drawing with respect to his or her Capital Contributions or his or her Capital Account, or for services rendered on behalf of the Company.

Section IV

4.1 Series A Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold 18,154,412 Series A Preferred Shares to the Preferred Member. The Series A Preferred Shares have the distribution rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion and exchange rights and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and other terms and provisions as are set forth in this Section IV.

4.2 Voting Rights.

4.2.1. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 4.2 or by law, each holder of the Series A Preferred Shares shall have one vote per Series A Preferred Share (determined on an as converted to Common Shares basis) together with all other classes and series of Shares of the Company (whether Common Shares or Preferred Shares) as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Members of the Company.

4.2.2. For so long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a Majority in Interest of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, will be necessary for effecting or validating the following actions (either directly or indirectly by amendment of this Agreement or the Articles, merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise):

4.2.2.1 any issuance or any designation, whether by reclassification or otherwise, of any new class or series of Shares or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Company ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Shares in right of liquidation preference, redemption, voting, distributions or dividends;

4.2.2.2 any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of this Agreement or the Articles (or taking any other action) that would adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Series A Preferred Shares;

4.2.2.3 any action that results in the payment or declaration of a distribution with respect to any Shares (other than a distribution payable only in Common Shares), unless a pari passu distribution is made in respect of the Series A Preferred Shares on an as converted basis, and except for distributions pursuant to Section 5.4.2 (Tax Distributions);

4.2.2.4 redeem, purchase, or otherwise acquire any Preferred Shares or Common Shares or any other equity security of the Company; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to (A) the repurchase of Shares from employees, officers, Managers, consultants or other Persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such Shares at or below cost or at or below cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment, or (B) the exercise by the Company of contractual rights of first refusal over such Shares;

4.2.2.11 a decision to conduct the initial public offering of the Company or register any class or series of the Company’s Shares or other equity securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (except, in the latter case, as may be required by applicable law).

4.2.3 The voting rights set forth in Section 4.2.2 shall terminate in the event, and on the date on which, the Option (as such term is defined in Section 4.8) expires unexercised despite the Company’s revenues (calculated pursuant to the revenue calculation rules set forth in the Option Agreement) for the Fiscal Year 2008 reaching $9,000,000 or more.

4.3 Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

4.3.1 Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.3, any Series A Preferred Shares may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into Common Shares. The number of Common Shares to which a holder of Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled upon conversion pursuant to this Section 4.3 will be determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price applicable to such Shares, in effect on the date of such conversion. The initial Conversion Price for each Series A Preferred Share shall be the Series A Original Issue Price, as applicable; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth below.

4.3.2 Adjustments for Share Splits. In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares or the determination of Members entitled to receive a distribution payable in additional Common Shares or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional Common Shares (hereinafter referred to as “Common Share Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional Common Shares or the Common Share Equivalents (including the additional Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the applicable Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of Common Shares on conversion of each Series A Preferred Share shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of Common Shares outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Share Equivalents.

4.3.3 Adjustments for Combinations. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the Series A Original Issue Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Shares, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Shares shall be appropriately increased so that the number of Common Shares issuable on conversion of each Series A Preferred Share shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Shares.

4.3.4 Adjustments for Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other Persons, assets (excluding cash distributions), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of Common Shares of the Company into which their Series A Preferred Shares are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution.

4.3.5 Adjustments for Recapitalization, Reclassification and Other Events. If at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date the Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares are changed into the same or a different number of Shares of any series, class or classes of Shares whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a Change of Control or a subdivision, distribution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.3), then in any such event each holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right thereafter to convert such Shares into the kind and amount of securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

4.3.6 Adjustments for Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations. If at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date there is a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company (other than a Change of Control or a subdivision, distribution, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, exchange or substitution of interests provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.3), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares thereafter shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, the number of securities or property of the Company, or of such successor Entity resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, to which a holder of Common Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such reorganization, merger or consolidation (subject to adjustment in respect of such Shares or securities by the terms thereof). In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4.3.6 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 4.3.6 (including adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price then in effect and number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. This Section 4.3.6 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations.

4.3.7 Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Shares, the Company, at its expense, will compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and will mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares at the holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books. The certificate will set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing the material facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of the Common Shares issuable to such holder upon conversion of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares following such adjustment.

4.3.8 No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of this Agreement or its Articles or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4.3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares against impairment.

4.3.9 Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a Liquidation Event or Change of Control, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such Liquidation Event or in connection with such Change of Control, as applicable, to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares.

4.3.10 Fractional Shares. No fractions of Common Shares are to be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, but in lieu thereof the Company will round-down for fractions less than one-half and round-up for fractions equal to or greater than one-half. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to any fractional Shares eliminated by rounding.

4.3.11 Reservation of Common Shares. The Members agree to amend this Agreement as shall be necessary to issue such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all Series A Preferred Shares from time to time outstanding.

4.3.12 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution (other than a cash distribution), any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

4.3.13 Automatic Conversion. All Series A Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into Common Shares, based on the then-effective Conversion Price, immediately upon the earliest to occur of (a) the affirmative election of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (voting as a separate class on an as converted basis); (b) the closing of an underwritten public offering with aggregate proceeds in excess of $25,000,000; or (c) 30 days following the date on which the Company’s audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year 2009 are delivered to the Preferred Members. Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding sentence, the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such Series A Preferred Shares.

4.3.14 Effect of Conversion. In the event that any Series A Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Series A Preferred Shares so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by the Company. Upon such a conversion, the Preferred Members shall be deemed to be Common Members hereunder for all purposes with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares so converted and shall have no further rights as holders of Series A Preferred Shares with respect to such converted Series A Preferred Shares.

4.4 Distributions. The Company shall not make any distribution in respect of Common Shares without including the Series A Preferred Shares in such distribution on an as converted basis.

4.5 Subsequent Offerings. The Series A Preferred Shares (and the Common Shares, as applicable) shall have the rights regarding subsequent offerings set forth in Section 4 of Investor’s Rights Agreement.

4.6 Registration Rights. The Series A Preferred Shares shall have the registration rights set forth in Section 2 of the Investor’s Rights Agreement.

4.7 Information Rights. The Series A Preferred Shares shall have the information rights set forth in the Section 2 of Investor’s Rights Agreement.

4.8 Option. The Preferred Member shall have the option to purchase the remaining Shares in the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Agreement (the “Option”).

4.9 Termination of the Series A Preferred Rights. The rights of the Series A Preferred Shares set forth in Section 4.2.2 (Voting Rights) shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) a Liquidation Event; (b) a Change of Control; (c) the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the initial public offering of the Company’s securities; or (d) conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares to Common Shares pursuant to Section 4.3. The rights of the Series A Preferred Shares contained in the Investor’s Rights Agreement or the Option Agreement shall terminate as set forth in the Investor’s Rights Agreement and the Option Agreement, as applicable.

Section V

Allocations and Distributions

5.1 Allocations. After making any special allocations contained in Section 5.3, remaining Profits and Losses shall be allocated for any Fiscal Year in the following manner:

5.1.1 Profits.

5.1.1.1 First, to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares in proportion to the cumulative Losses allocated among the holders of Series A Preferred Shares under Section 5.1.2.3 until the cumulative Profits allocated to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares under this subparagraph equal the cumulative Losses previously allocated to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares under Section 5.1.2.3;

5.1.1.2 Second, among the holders of Common Shares in proportion to the cumulative Losses previously allocated among the holders of Common Shares under Section 5.1.2.2 until the cumulative Profits allocated to each holder of Common Shares under this subparagraph equal the cumulative Losses previously allocated to each holder of Common Shares under Section 5.1.2.2;

5.1.1.3. Thereafter, Profits shall be allocated to the Interest Holders in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

5.1.2 Losses.

5.1.2.1 First, Losses shall be allocated to the Interest Holders in proportion to the cumulative Profits previously allocated to the Interest Holders under Section 5.1.1.3 until the cumulative Losses allocated pursuant to this subparagraph to each Interest Holder are equal to the cumulative Profits previously allocated to each Interest Holder under Section 5.1.1.3;

5.1.2.2 Second, Losses shall be allocated to the holders of Common Shares in accordance with their Common Percentage Interests until their Capital Account balances equal zero;

5.1.2.3 Third, Losses shall be allocated to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares in proportion to the number of Series A Preferred Shares held by them until their Capital Account balances equal zero;

5.1.2.4. Thereafter, Losses shall be allocated to the Interest Holders in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

In the event of a Conversion under Section 4.3, all Profits and Losses (after any required adjustments to Capital Accounts under Section 3.1.4) will be allocated to the Interest Holders in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

5.1.3 Loss Limitations.

5.1.3.1 No Losses shall be allocated to any Interest Holder pursuant to Section 5.1 if the allocation causes the Interest Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit or increases the Interest Holder's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. All Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Subsection shall be allocated to the other Interest Holders in accordance with the other Interest Holders' Percentage Interests until all Interest Holders are subject to the limitation of this Subsection, and thereafter, in accordance with the Interest Holders' interest in the Company as determined by the Board. If any Losses are allocated to an Interest Holder because of this Subsection, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all subsequent Profits shall be allocated to the Interest Holders pro rata based on Losses allocated to them pursuant to this Subsection until each Interest Holder has been allocated an amount of Profits pursuant to this Subsection equal to the Losses previously allocated to that Interest Holder under this Subsection.

5.1.3.2 If the Company is on the cash method of accounting and more than 50% of the Company's Losses in any year would be allocable to Interest Holders who are limited entrepreneurs (within the meaning of § 464(e)(2) of the Code), then except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1.3.1, the Losses in excess of 50% otherwise allocable to those Interest Holders shall be specially allocated among the other Interest Holders in the ratio that each shares in Losses. If any Losses are allocated to an Interest Holder under this Subsection, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all subsequent Profits shall be allocated to the Interest Holders pro rata based on Losses allocated to them pursuant to this Subsection until each Interest Holder has been allocated an amount of Profits pursuant to this Subsection in the current and previous Fiscal Years equal to the Losses allocated to that Interest Holder pursuant to this Subsection in previous Fiscal Years.

5.2. Section 704(c) Allocations.

5.2.1 Contributed Property. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, as well as Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3), income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed contributed) to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Interest Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the date of contribution (or deemed contribution).

5.2.2 Adjustments to Book Value. If the Adjusted Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.4, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the asset shall, solely for tax purposes, take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its Adjusted Book Value in the manner as provided under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

5.3 Regulatory Allocations. The following allocations shall be made in the following order:

5.3.1 Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4), and (5), if during any Fiscal Year there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, each Interest Holder, prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Section V, shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, succeeding taxable years) in an amount equal to that Interest Holder's share of the net decrease of Company Minimum Gain, computed in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2). Allocations of gross income and gain pursuant to this Subsection shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities to the extent of the Minimum Gain attributable to those assets and, thereafter, from a pro rata portion of the Company's other items of income and gain for the taxable year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation pursuant to this Subsection shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under Regulation Section 1.704-2(f).

5.3.2 Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if during any Fiscal Year there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, each Interest Holder with a share of that Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined under Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, succeeding Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Interest Holder's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations of gross income and gain pursuant to this Subsection shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to Member Nonrecourse Debt to the extent of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to those assets and, thereafter, from a pro rata portion of the Company's other items of income and gain for the Fiscal Year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation pursuant to this Subsection shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).

5.3.3 Qualified Income Offset. If an Interest Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), then to the extent required under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(d), such Interest Holder shall be allocated items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain for that Fiscal Year) before any other allocation is made of Company items for that Fiscal Year, in the amount and in proportions required to eliminate the Interest Holder's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Subsection is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the “qualified income offset” provisions of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b).

5.3.4 Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated among the Interest Holders in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

5.3.5 Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deduction for any Fiscal Year or other period attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Liability shall be allocated to the Interest Holder who bears the risk of loss for the Member Nonrecourse Debt in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

5.3.6 Regulatory Allocations. The allocations contained in Section 5.3 are contained herein to comply with the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. In allocating other items of Profit or Loss, the allocations contained in Section 5.3 shall be taken into account so that to the maximum extent possible the net amount of Profit or Loss allocated to each Interest Holder will be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to each Interest Holder if the allocations contained in Section 5.3 had not been made.

5.4 Non-Liquidating Distributions. Except for tax distributions that shall be made in accordance with Section 5.4.2 and distributions in connection with a Liquidation Event, distributions shall be made to the Interest Holders at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Board in its sole discretion; provided, however, that all Cash Flow for each Fiscal Year of the Company shall be distributed to the Interest Holders no later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of such Fiscal Year. All distributions shall be made in the following order and priority:

5.4.1 Priority. Subject to Section IX (Dissolution) and Section 5.4.2, to the Interest Holders pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

5.4.2 Tax Distributions. During each Fiscal Year, to the extent permitted under applicable law, and to the extent consistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties, the Board shall distribute to the Members their Undistributed Tax Distribution Amounts. Such distributions shall be made to the Members in accordance with and in proportion to their Undistributed Tax Distribution Amounts. All Undistributed Tax Distribution Amounts shall be distributed prior to any distributions otherwise required pursuant to Section 5.4.1 and shall be treated as advances against and shall reduce amounts to which the Members are otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5.4.1. Undistributed Tax Distribution Amounts shall not be distributed prior to any distributions required pursuant to Section 5.5.

5.5 Distributions From a Liquidation Event. To the extent permitted under applicable law, distributions in connection with a Liquidation Event shall be made by the Company as follows:

5.5.1 first, to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, in proportion to their holdings of Series A Preferred Shares, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the number of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding multiplied by the Series A Liquidation Preference, calculated on a per share basis, and (ii) the amount to be distributed pursuant to this Section 5.5 multiplied by the Percentage Interest of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares; and

5.5.2 thereafter, among the Common Members in proportion to their respective Common Percentage Interests.

5.6 General.

5.6.1 Timing and Amount of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, distributions shall be made to the Interest Holders at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Board in its sole discretion; provided, however, that no distributions may be made on Common Shares until and unless a pro rata distribution has been made on the Series A Preferred Shares except as otherwise provided herein.

5.6.2 Form of Distribution. In connection with any distribution, no Interest Holder shall have the right to receive Property other than cash except as may be specifically provided herein. If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind to the Interest Holders, those assets shall be valued on the basis of their fair market value, and any Interest Holder entitled to any interest in those assets shall receive that interest as a tenant-in-common with all other Interest Holders so entitled. Unless the Interest Holders otherwise agree, the fair market value of the assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser who shall be selected by the Board.

5.6.3 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to withhold and pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Company at such times and based upon such rates as the Board of Managers determines to be appropriate. If the Company makes a payment of tax for any accounting period with respect to any Member or as a result of any Member’s participation in the Company, such Member shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received the amount of such payment as a distribution from the Company on the last day of the period for which the tax is withheld and paid or, if earlier, on the last day on which such Member owned any Shares. Any deemed distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.6.3 shall be treated (to the extent not repaid to the Company) as an advance of, and shall offset, an equal amount of distributions that would otherwise thereafter be made to such Member pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 5.4, Section 5.5 or Section 9, as the case may be, in the order that such distributions would otherwise have been made. To the extent that the aggregate of such distributions to a Member for any month exceeds the distributions to which such Member would otherwise be entitled for such month, the amount of such excess shall be repaid by such Member to the Company within thirty (30) days after the end of such month.

5.6.4 Varying Interests; Distributions and Allocations in Respect to Transferred Shares. Profits, Losses, and other items shall be calculated on a monthly, daily, or other basis permitted under Code Section 706 and the Regulations. If any Shares are sold, assigned, or transferred during any accounting period in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to such Shares for such period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the period in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Board. 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 not later than the end of the calendar month during which it is given notice of such transfer, provided that if the Company does not receive a notice stating the date such Shares were transferred and such other information as it may reasonably require within thirty (30) days after the end of the Fiscal Year during which the transfer occurs, then all of such items shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the person who, according to the books and records of the Company, on the last day of the Fiscal Year during which the transfer occurs, was the owner of the Shares. Neither the Company nor any Interest Holder or Manager shall incur any liability for making allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section, whether or not any Interest Holder, Manager, or the Company has knowledge of any transfer of ownership of any Shares.

5.6.5 Knowledge. The Interest Holders acknowledge that they understand the economic and income tax consequences of the allocations and distributions under this Agreement and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section V in reporting their taxable income and loss from the Company.

5.6.6 Amendment. The Board is hereby authorized, upon the advice of the Company's tax counsel, to amend this Section V to comply with the Code and the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b); provided, however, that no amendment shall materially affect the distributions to an Interest Holder without the Interest Holder's prior written consent.

Section VI

6.1. Board of Managers. Subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein and in the Act, the Board shall have the power and authority, on behalf of the Company, to manage and control the business, affairs and properties of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters, and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of the Company’s business.

Section VIII

Transfers and Withdrawals

8.1. Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in this Section VIII (and except for Exempt Transfers to which this Section 8.1 does not apply), no Member or Interest Holder may Transfer all, or any portion of, or any interest or rights in, the Shares owned by such Member or Interest Holder, without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of the Members, which consent may be withheld in the Members' sole and absolute discretion. Any sale or foreclosure of a security interest will itself constitute a Transfer independent of the grant of security. Each Member hereby acknowledges the reasonableness of this prohibition in view of the purposes of the Company and the relationship of the Members. The Transfer of any Shares in violation of the prohibition contained in this Section VIII shall be deemed invalid, null, and void, and of no force or effect. Any Person to whom Shares are attempted to be transferred in violation of this Section VIII shall not be entitled to vote the Shares on matters coming before the Members, participate in the management of the Company, act as an agent of the Company, receive allocations or distributions from the Company, or have any other rights in or with respect to the Shares.

8.2. Withdrawal. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right or power to Withdraw from the Company. Any such Withdrawal shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and the Company shall have the right to recover damages from the withdrawn Member and to offset the damages against any amounts otherwise distributable to such Member under this Agreement.

8.3. Right of First Refusal.

8.3.1 If an Interest Holder (individually, a “Transferor”) receives a bona fide written offer (the “Transferee Offer”) from any Person (a “Transferee”) to purchase all or any portion of, or any interest or rights in, the Transferor's Shares for a purchase price denominated and payable in United States dollars, then, prior to any Transfer of the Transferor’s Shares, the Transferor shall give the Board and the other Members (the “Remaining Members”) written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) containing each of the following:

8.3.1.1 the Transferee's identity;

8.3.1.2 a true and complete copy of the Transferee Offer; and

8.3.1.3 the Transferor's offer (the “Offer”) to sell the Transferor’s Shares to the Company, or if the Company does not accept the Offer, to the Remaining Members, for a total price equal to the price set forth in the Transferee Offer (the “Transfer Purchase Price”), which shall be payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Transferee Offer.

8.3.2 The Offer to the Company shall be and remain irrevocable for a period (the “Company Offer Period”) ending at 11:59 P.M. local time at the Company's principal office, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date the Transfer Notice is given to the Company. At any time during the Company Offer Period, the Company may, by the vote of a Majority in Interest of the Remaining Members, accept the offer by giving written notice of its acceptance. The Transferor shall not be deemed a Member for the purpose of the vote on whether the Company shall accept the Offer. If the Company accepts the Offer, then the Company shall fix a closing date for the purchase, which shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Company Offer Period.

8.3.3 If the Company rejects the Offer or fails to accept the Offer (within the time and in the manner specified in this Section), then the Transferor shall offer to sell the Transferor’s Shares to the Remaining Members for the Transfer Purchase Price, which shall be payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Transferee Offer.

8.3.4 The Offer shall be and remain irrevocable for a period (the “Member Offer Period”) ending at 11:59 P.M. local time at the Company's principal office, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date the Company Offer expired. At any time during the Member Offer Period, any Remaining Member may accept the offer by notifying the Transferor in writing that the Remaining Member intends to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transferor’s Shares. If two (2) or more Remaining Members desire to accept the Offer, then, in the absence of an agreement between or among them, each such Remaining Member shall purchase the Transferor’s Shares in the proportion that his respective Percentage Interest bears to the total Percentage Interests of all of the Remaining Members who desire to accept the Offer. If one or more Remaining Members accept the Offer, then the parties shall fix a closing date for the purchase, which shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Member Offer Period.

8.3.5 If no Remaining Member accepts the Offer (within the time periods and in the manner specified in this Section), then the Transferor shall be free for a period (the “Free Transfer Period”) of thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Member Offer Period to Transfer the Transferor’s Shares to the Transferee, for the same or greater price and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer shall be subject, however, to the Conditions of Transfer contained in Section 8.5. If the Transferor does not Transfer the Transferor’s Shares within the Free Transfer Period, the Transferor's right to Transfer the Transferor’s Shares pursuant to this Section shall cease and terminate.

8.3.6 Any Transfer by the Transferor after the last day of the Free Transfer Period or without strict compliance with the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Section and the other terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement, shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

8.4 Option on Death or Bankruptcy. On the death, bankruptcy, or similar event described in Section 29-733(4) or (5) of the Act (whether voluntary or involuntary) of a Member or Interest Holder, the Member or Interest Holder (or if an individual, such Person's estate) shall offer, or shall automatically be deemed to have offered, to sell the Member's or Interest Holder's Shares to the Company or its nominee. Upon the approval of a Majority in Interest of the Members other than the offering Member, the Company or its nominee shall have the right and option, within seventy-five (75) days after the Members' actual knowledge of the death, bankruptcy, or similar event, to acquire the Shares, for the purchase price and on the terms set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof. If the Shares are not purchased by the Company or its nominee, the Shares shall be transferred to the assignee of the Shares but shall remain fully subject to and bound by the terms of this Agreement.

8.5 Conditions of Transfer. After satisfying the other restrictions contained in Section VIII, a Person may Transfer all or any portion of or any interest or rights in the Person's Shares only after the following conditions (“Conditions of Transfer”) are satisfied:

8.5.1 A duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment is filed with the Company;

8.5.2 The transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of this Section VIII;

8.5.3 The Managers, Members, and the Company are reimbursed prior to the Transfer for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer. (There shall be no reimbursement for appraisal costs as allocated between the Company and the offering Member pursuant to Section 8.4 and Exhibit “B”.
