The Members shall provide such required funds as working capital to the Company, in accordance with thaw respective Membership Interests, within thirty (30) days after the notice of Capital Call has been duly given.

     4.3.Member Loans.

          If the Managers and all of Members agree, any Member may, but shall not be required to, loan or advance funds to the Company. If any Member shall loan any money to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.3 (a “Member Loan”), the amount of any such loan shall not be an increase in such Member’s share of the distributions or Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company under this Operating Agreement; but the amount of any such loan shall be an obligation of the Company to such Member, and shall be repaid with interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate as published on the day that the funds are advanced, plus 5%, provided that any amounts advanced as Member Loans to the Company to repay the Deferred Purchase Money Notes shall be at such rate agreed to by the Members, which may be a fixed rate.

To the extent the Unpaid Contribution is paid by the Non-Defaulting Member, following the delivery of written notice to the Defaulting Member, and the failure to make such Capital Contribution within a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice, the Membership Interest of the Non-Defaulting Member making such Unpaid Contribution to the Company shall be increased by an amount determined as if the Non-Defaulting Member had made an additional Capital Contribution equal to three times the amount of the Unpaid Contribution, so that the Membership Interest of the Non-Defaulting Member would be determined by the percentage that is derived from dividing the aggregate Capital Contributions made by the Non-Defaulting Member (including the deemed additional Capital Contribution) to the aggregate Capital Contributions made to the Company, and the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest shall be decreased to the remaining percentage interest of Membership Interests in the Company. For example, by way of illustration only, in the case where the aggregate Capital Contributions made to the Company prior to the Capital Call were $8,500,000, split equally between Member A and Member B; an Additional Capital Contribution was required of each of the Members of $200,000; Member A failed to make the Additional Capital Contribution following receipt of the written notice and the cure period required above; and Member B made such Capital Contribution in addition to

making the $200,000 Capital Contribution required to be made by it, the Membership Interest of Member B would be determined by dividing the aggregate Capital Contributions made by Member B, (3 x $200,000) + $200;000 + $4,250,000 = $5,050,000), divided by the aggregate Capital Contributions made to the Company by both Members, $8,900,000, or 56.74%, and the Membership Interest of Member A would be decreased to 43.26% (100% — 56.74%).

     4.5.Responsibility for Deferred Purchase Money Notes. Each of the Members shall be responsible for contributing the necessary funds to the Company, and any required guaranties of payment, with respect to one-half of the amount of the Deferred Purchase Money Notes payable to Seller and Assignor with respect to the acquisition of the membership interests of Clarksburg; Skylark, LLC, provided that except as expressly stated in the Deferred Purchase Money Notes, the obligations of the Members to the Seller and the Assignor shall be nonrecourse to the Members. Any amounts advanced to the Company by either Member with respect to the repayment of the Deferred Purchase Money Notes shall be treated as an additional Capital Contribution under Section 4.02 unless otherwise agreed by the Members. Any decision to borrow funds by the Company to repay all or any portion of the Deferred Purchase Money Notes shall constitute a Major Decision pursuant to Section 7.1(d) hereunder.
