7.Limited Liability; Indemnification. The liability of the members shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law, and a member is not personally liable for a debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being or acting as a member. The Managing Member is an agent of the Company and as such shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Articles.

Each member will be obligated to contribute the member’s proportionate share (based on percentage interests) of any contribution approved by all of the members. If any member fails to contribute the amount agreed upon to be contributed by each member, in addition to the right of the Company to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity against the defaulting member, any member making such member’s contribution pursuant to such agreement may either withdraw the amount then contributed or elect to treat the same as a loan to the Company bearing interest at the prime rate as reported inThe Wall Street Journal on the date contributed to the Company plus 5%. Any such loan shall be repaid by the Company before the Company makes any distributions to the members. No member may otherwise withdraw any capital contribution without the unanimous consent of the members. No member shall have personal liability for the repayment of any capital contribution of any other member. The Company’s accountant shall maintain a separate capital account for each member.

10.Distributions. The Company may from time to time, at the direction of either the Managing Member or a Majority of the Members, make distributions to the members in accordance with their percentage interests; provided that the Company shall first repay any loan to the Company arising as provided in Section 8. Any distribution to the members shall be in such amount as either the Managing Member or a Majority of the Members may approve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company shall not make any distribution in excess of the amount the Company is permitted to distribute under the Act. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions, or with respect to allocations, and to pay over to any federal, state or local government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to any federal, state or local law and shall allocate such amounts, and treat any such amounts as distributed, to the member or members with respect to which such amount was withheld. In the case of any such withholding with respect to one or more but not all members, the Company shall make proportionate compensating distributions to the other member or members. Upon dissolution of the Company, distributions shall be made in accordance with the members’ capital account balances properly maintained by the Company’s accountant after all allocations have been made in accordance with Section 9.

11.Limitations on Transfer.

(a) Except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, no member may sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or encumber, directly or indirectly, any or all of the member’s interest or enter into any agreement pursuant to which any person may acquire all or a portion of the member’s interest in the Company. Any attempted transfer in contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffective.

(b) The members will not unreasonably withhold their approval of any proposed transfer by any member of all of such member’s interest in the Company to any parent company, wholly-owned subsidiary, or other related company.

(c) The Company need not recognize any transferee of an interest in the Company until the transferee has signed and delivered a document agreeing to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement. A transferee of an interest in the Company shall be an assignee only and not a member, shall not be entitled to vote on Company matters or to inspect the records of the Company, and shall not have any rights of a member other than the right to share in allocations of profits and losses and in distributions. A Majority of the Members (excluding the transferring member) may in a writing executed by such members and the transferee admit the transferee as a substitute member with all of the rights of a member, including voting and inspections rights, but may withhold their consent and agreement to any such admission in their sole, absolute and arbitrary discretion.

14.Withdrawal. No member has the right or power to withdraw voluntarily from the Company. Any purported withdrawal shall be ineffective, shall be a breach of this Agreement that shall cause the member purporting to withdraw to become an assignee only without the voting or inspection rights of a member and shall not entitle the member purporting to withdraw to any distribution from the Company.

15.Waiver of Partition. No member, or any legal representative, successor, or assignee of any member, shall have the right to partition the assets or any part thereof or interest therein, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to partition the assets or any part thereof or interest therein.
