Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.1, no owner of a Membership Interest or Transferable Interest ("Interest") shall transfer, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of his or her Interest now owned or hereafter acquired without the unanimous written consent of the Members, which may be withheld in their sole discretion. Transfers for estate planning purposes to family members of a Member, entities owned in whole or in part by family members of a Member, or trusts created for the benefit of the Member's family are hereby consented to by the Members in advance, but such transferees shall only hold a Transferable Interest unless further consent is given pursuant to Section 11.1. (a) Right of First Refusal. In the absence of the unanimous written consent of the other Members, if a holder of an Interest desires to transfer or sell its Interest to a third party, it shall first offer, in writing, to sell its Interest to the parties set forth below for the same price and terms offered by the third party. The written offer submitted to such parties shall contain the name or names of the prospective purchaser and the offered price and terms of purchase. (i) Option to Company. The Interest shall first be subject to an option on the part of the Company to purchase all or part of such Interest, which option shall be exercised if at all, within a period of 30 days following the receipt of the selling Interest holder's offer. The Company's election to purchase all or part of such Interest shall be made, if at all, upon the unanimous vote of the non - selling Interest holders. (ii) Option to Remaining Members. If the Company fails to exercise its option with respect to all or any part of the Interest, then the same shall be offered for sale and shall be subject to an option on the part of the other Members to purchase, which option shall be exercised, if at all, within 15 days after the expiration of the 30-day period granted the Company. The other Members may divide the interest of the selling Interest holder in such manner as they shall mutually agree, and any of them may elect not to participate in the purchase. If they do not otherwise agree, the interest of the selling Interest holder shall be divided among the Members participating in the purchase in proportion to their respective Membership Interests at the time the offer is made. To exercise the right to purchase, written notice shall be given to the selling Interest holder by the individual purchasing Members. (iii) Terms. The Company or the purchasing Members, as the case may be, shall make payment for the Interest either (a) according to the payment terms and condition of the proposed transfer to the third party or (b) by the execution and delivery of a promissory note payable to the selling Interest holder, whichever option the purchasing Member may choose. The promissory note shall bear interest at the prime rate on the date of the transfer and shall be OPERATING AGREEMENT - Page 10 LIULUJIIyi CI IVCIUpC IL/. U/ IU�OCr-YLIJJ-4fLCL..'/10017-UOL/LUJOUMUO secured by the Interest purchased. The principal of the note shall be payable, together with interest accrued as of the date of each installment payment in ten (10) equal annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the transfer. (iv) Failure to Exercise Option. In the event the Interest offered is not purchased by the above parties, then all restrictions imposed under Section 12.1 shall terminate with respect to the then proposed disposition; provided, however, that, if such disposition is not made within 30 days following the expiration of the 15-day option period granted the other Members under subparagraph (ii) above, then the restrictions imposed under Section 12.1 shall once again become applicable. (v) Transferee's Status. In the event the Interest offered is purchased by a party other than a Member, the transferee shall become a Member with a Membership Interest only by admission in accordance with the provisions of Section 11. Otherwise, such transferee shall possess only a Transferable Interest. (vi) Failure to Comply. Any disposition or attempted disposition of an Interest, or any part thereof, not in compliance with this Section 12, shall be null and void ab initio, and need not be recognized by the Company. 12.2 Dissociation. (a) Events of Dissociation. A Person shall cease to be a Member upon the happening of any of the following events: (i) the voluntary withdrawal of a Member (which shall not constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement); (ii) a disposition of a Member's Membership Interest in contravention of Section 12.1. (iii) the Member (A) has become the subject of an Order for Relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (B) has initiated as to such Member, in any state insolvency or receivership proceeding, either in an original proceeding or by way of an answer, an action for liquidation arrangement, composition, readjustment, dissolution, or similar relief; (iv) in the case of a Member who is a natural person, the death of the Member or the entry of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating the Member incompetent to manage the Member's estate; (v) in the case of a Member who is acting as a Member by virtue of being a trustee of a trust, the termination of the trust (but not merely the substitution of a new trustee); OPERATING AGREEMENT - Page 11 IJULUoIy1 I C.I IVCIUf/C IU. LJI I LlCUC I--' UU'YLCI'-/A0DD-UDG/GJJDU/AU0 (vi) in the case of a Member that is a separate organization other than a corporation, the dissolution and commencement of winding up of the separate organization; (vii) in the case of a Member that is a corporation, the filing of a certificate of dissolution, or its equivalent, for the corporation or the revocation of its charter; or (viii) in the case of an estate, the distribution by the fiduciary of the estate's entire interest in the limited liability company. (b) Purchase of Dissociated Member's Membership Interest. Upon the dissociation of a Member, when the remaining Members by Majority Vote elect to continue the business of the Company, the remaining Members by Majority Vote shall elect between one of the following alternatives: (i) the disassociated Member's Membership Interest shall be purchased by the Company for a purchase price equal to the aggregate fair market value of the Member's Interest determined according to the provisions of subsection (c) below. The purchase price of such interest shall be paid by the Company to the Member in cash within 60 days of determination of the aggregate fair market value or, at the Company's option, said debt may be evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at the prevailing prime rate at the time of the dissociation, payable in 10 equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the event of dissociation and consisting of principal and interest accrued as of the date of each installment. The promissory note shall be secured by the Membership Interest purchased; or, (ii) the transferee of the dissociated Member's interest shall be treated as a Member holding a Membership Interest rather than the holder of merely a Transferable Interest. The election to treat the transferee as a Member shall be made by Majority Vote of the remaining Members, any contrary provisions in Section 11 notwithstanding. Such election shall be made within 90 days after the remaining Members learn of the event of dissociation, otherwise the remaining Members shall be deemed to have selected the alternative set forth in subsection (ii) above. If the event of dissociation does not involve a transfer of the dissociated Member's interest, however, the remaining Members shall be deemed to have selected the alternative set forth in subsection (i) above. (c) Purchase Price of Dissociated Member's Membership Interest. The fair market value of a Member's Interest to be purchased by the Company pursuant to this section shall be determined by agreement between the dissociated Member (or the dissociated Member's legal representative or the transferee of the dissociated Member's Membership Interest, as the case may be) and the Company, which agreement is subject to approval by the remaining members. If the dissociated Member (or the transferee of the dissociated Member's Membership Interest, as the case may be) and the Company OPERATING AGREEMENT - Page 12 LuuuOIyi1 CI IVCIUFJC ILJ. LJ! ILJ.70Cr-'TLLJJ-'LCl.,-F10DD-0OL I Z UJO0/1U0 cannot agree upon the fair market value of such Membership Interest within 30 days, the fair market value thereof shall be determined by appraisal, the Company and the dissociated Member each to choose one appraiser and the two appraisers so chosen to choose a third appraiser. For this purpose, the fair market value of the dissociated Member's Membership Interest shall be computed as the amount which could reasonably be expected to be realized by such Member upon the sale of the Company's assets in the ordinary course of business at the time of dissociation. The decision of a majority of the appraisers as to the fair market value of such Membership Interest shall be final and binding and may be enforced by legal proceedings. The dissociated Member and the Company shall each compensate the appraiser appointed by it and the compensation of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by such parties. (d) Damages. The provision set forth herein shall not affect any claim for damages the Company may have against the dissociated Member if such dissociation is in violation of this Company Agreement. The Company shall have the right to offset any payments due under this Article by any damages that the Company may incur as a result of a dissociation of a Member in contravention of this Agreement. 12.3 Dispositions to Other Members. Transfers of interests between Members shall not require the consent of the other Members, and the entire interest held by the transferee Member shall be deemed to be a Membership Interest. If, upon the death of a Member, the Membership Interest of that Member is to be transferred completely to other Members of the Company, then the death of that Member shall not operate as an event of dissociation, and each transferee shall thereafter be treated as a Member holding a Membership Interest equal to the combination of the Membership Interest previously held by that transferee and the Membership Interest transferred to that transferee. Following the incompetency of a Member, so long as another Member is appointed as a guardian of the estate of the incompetent Member, the incompetency shall not operate as an event of dissociation. 13. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 13.1 Indemnity of the Members, Employees and Other Agents. The Company may indemnify, defend and hold harmless its Members, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law provided that such action in any given situation is approved by unanimous vote of Members. 13.2 Limitation of Liability of Members. The Members of the Company shall not be liable for losses or damages for conduct as Members except to the extent that the Act, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, prohibits elimination or limitation of Member liability. No repeal or amendment of this Section or of the Act shall adversely affect any right or protection of a Member for actions or omissions that occurred prior to the repeal or amendment of this Section. 13.3 Standard of Conduct for Managers. No Manager shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any loss or damage sustained by the Company or any Member, unless the loss or damage shall have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager. The Manager(s) of the Company shall not be liable to third parties for losses or OPERATING AGREEMENT - Page 13 IJUcUJIy1 I CI IVCIUF a ILJ.

Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Members shall proceed to wind up the business of the Company in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors, and the Members shall take no action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company's business and affairs. The Members shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall take full account of the Company's liabilities and assets, shall cause the assets to be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and shall cause the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be distributed in accordance with Section 9.3. 15.

The election to treat the transferee as a Member shall be made by Majority Vote of the remaining Members, any contrary provisions in Section 11 notwithstanding. Such election shall be made within ninety (90) days after the remaining Members learn of the event of dissociation, otherwise the remaining Members shall be deemed to have selected the alternative set forth in subsection (ii) above. If the event of dissociation does not involve a transfer of the dissociated Member's interest, however, the remaining Members shall be deemed to have selected the alternative set forth in subsection (i) above. OPERATING AGREEMENT - Page 11 (c) Purchase Price of Dissociated Member's Membership Interest. The fair market value of a Member's Interest to be purchased by the Company pursuant to this section shall be determined by agreement between the dissociated Member (or the dissociated Member's legal representative or the transferee of the dissociated Member's Membership Interest, as the case may be) and the Company, which agreement is subject to approval by the remaining members. If the dissociated Member (or the transferee of the dissociated Member's Membership Interest, as the case may be) and the Company cannot agree upon the fair market value of such Membership Interest within thirty (30) days, the fair market value thereof shall be determined by appraisal, the Company and the dissociated Member each to choose one appraiser and the two appraisers so chosen to choose a third appraiser. For this purpose, the fair market value of the dissociated Member's Membership Interest shall be computed as the amount which could reasonably be expected to be realized by such Metnber upon the sale of the Company's assets in the ordinary course of business at the time of dissociation. The decision of a majority of the appraisers as to the fair market value of such Membership Interest shall be final and binding and may be enforced by legal proceedings. The dissociated Member and the Company shall each compensate the appraiser appointed by it and the compensation of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by such parties. (d) Damages. The provision set forth herein shall not effect any claim for damages the Company may have against the dissociated Member if such dissociation is in violation of this Company Agreement. The Company shall have the right to offset any payments due under this Article by any damages that the Company may incur as a result of a dissociation of a Member in contravention of this Agreement. 12.3 Dispositions to Other Members. Transfers of interests between Members shall not require the consent of the other Members, and the entire interest held by the transferee Member shall be deemed to be a Membership Interest. If, upon the death of a Member, the Membership Interest of that Member is to be transferred completely to other Members of the Company, then the death of that Member shall not operate as an event of dissociation, and each transferee shall thereafter be treated as a Member holding a Membership Interest equal to the combination of the Membership Interest previously held by that transferee and the Membership Interest transferred to that transferee. Following the incompetency of a Member, so long as another Member is appointed as a guardian of the estate of the incompetent Member, the incompetency shall not operate as an event of dissociation, 13.
