Gallant David Cox V►liRO Page 2 of 2 The most current policy (October 5, 2006) regarding the amount of wetlands that can be included in the site area is dictated by whichever of the following two calculation methods yields the least amount of site area: Method 1: Calculate the acreage of the wetlands. Divide the wetland acreage by the total site acreage. If the result is 25% or less, then the total project area is the total site acreage. If the result is more than 25%, then calculate the amount of wetland to include such that no more than 25% of the site area acreage consists of wetlands in this manner: subtract the entire wetlands area from the site area to get the uplands area, then divide the uplands area by 0.75. Method 2: Calculate the area of a 100 foot wide strip of wetlands measured from the uplands area into the wetland. Compare the two numbers, and choose the one that yields the smallest project area. EXAMPLE A: Total site area = 55 acres Total wetland area = 15 acres 0.100' wide strip of wetland area = 5 acres Method 1: 15 acres wetlands /55 acres site = 27.3% (> 25%) 55 acres site - 15 acres wetlands = 40 acres uplands Project area for calculating density 40 / .75 = 53.33 acres Method 2: 55 - 15 = 40 Project area for calculating density 40 + 5 = 45 acres Since 45 < 53.33, use area derived via Method 2 to calculate the allowable density. EXAMPLE B: Total site area = 55 acres Total wetland area = 10 acres 0,100' wide strip of wetland area 5 acres Method 1: 10 / 55 = 18.2% (<25%) Project area for calculating density 55 acres Method 2: 55- 10 = 45 acres Project area for calculating density - 45 + 5 = 50 acres Since 50 < 55, use area derived via Method 2 to calculate the allowable density. EXAMPLE C Total Site Area = 55 acres Total Wetland Area = 40 acres 100' strip of wetland area = 15 acres Method 1: 40 / 55 = 73% (>25%) 55 -40 = 15 acres Project area for calculating density = 15 / .75 = 20 acres Method 2: 55-40 = 15 Project area for calculating density = 15 + 15 = 30 acres Since 20 < 30, use area derived via Method 1 for calculating the allowable density. The 100' wetland strip is measured from the 401/404 line waterward (into the wetlands) of the project for a distance of 100', or to the mean high water (MHW) line or to the property line, whichever comes first. No credit for wetlands located outside of the property line or beyond the MHW line can be given. By definition, the project area includes only that area above the MHW Line.

Thereafter,all distributions of cash from the Company due to the defaulting Member shall be paid to the Member(or pro rata to each Member)who elected to treat a contribution as a loan,until such time as the principal and interest of the loan,are paid in full. (c) No Member shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution to the Company. (d) In addition to the loans to the Defaulting Member provided for in Section 8.1(b) above,upon approval of the terms thereof by the Managers,any Member or Members may make a loan to the Company upon commercially reasonable terms. If more than one Member desires to participate in making such loans, the amount which the Company wishes to borrow shall be loaned by the Lending Members in amounts proportionate to their relative percentage of Membership Interest. Loans by a Member or Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. 8.2 Capital Accounts _9_ (a) The Company shall maintain a separate capital account(each a"Capital Account") for each Member pursuant to the principles of this Section 8.2 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv).

(b) The provisions of this Section 8.2 and other portions of this Agreement relating to the proper maintenance of Capital Accounts are designed to.comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). The Members intend that such provisions be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

(a) No Member shall have the right to withdraw all or any part of its Capital Contribution or to receive any return on any portion of its Capital Contribution,except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Under circumstances involving a return of any Capital Contribution, no Member shall have the right to receive property other than cash. (b) No member shall have priority over any other member, either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to Net Income,Net Losses,or distributions;provided that this subsection shall not apply to loans(as distinguished from Capital Contributions)which a Member has made to the Company. 8.4 Liability of Members. No Member shall be liable for the debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company beyond his or its respective Initial Capital Contribution and any Additional Capital Contribution required of such member pursuant to Section 8.1(b) above.
