CAPITAL AND CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 2.1. Initial Capital Contributions. Upon execution of this Agreement and the
commencement of the Company, the Members shall make initial capital contributions to the
Company, the nature and value of which are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. All capital
contributions other than cash shall be valued at their fair market values as of the date of
contribution.
Section 2.2. Subsequent Contributions and Loan Commitments. No Member shall be
obligated to make any capital contributions to the Company other than those set forth on Exhibit
"A", except as specifically provided in this Section. If the Managers reasonably determine that
additional capital contributions are necessary or appropriate in connection with the conduct of
the Company's business (including, without limitation, cash flow deficits), the Members shall
make such additional capital contributions on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Ownership
Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional capital contribution may be enforced by a
creditor of the Company unless the Delinquent Member expressly consents to such enforcement
or to the assignment of the obligation to such creditor.
In addition to the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement, in the event the existing
Members do not make the full capital contributions determined to be necessary or appropriate,
capital contributions may be sought from new Members who will be admitted to the Company in
return for such capital contributions. In any case in which capital contributions are not made pro
rata by all existing Members, the Ownership Interests will be appropriately adjusted and the
manner in which allocations and distributions are made shall be amended, if necessary, to take
into account the additional capital contributions. The Ownership Interests shall be adjusted based
upon total capital contributions less any return of capital contributions. The Managers shall
determine such appropriate adjustments.
Section 2.3. Restoration of Negative Capital Account Balances Upon Liquidation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon a liquidation (within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 1 (b)(2)(ii)(g)) of the Company or a Member's
Membership Interest, other than a constructive termination of the Company pursuant to Section
708(b)(1)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), if any Member
has a deficit capital account balance (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions,
allocations, and other capital account adjustments for all fiscal years, including the fiscal year in
which the liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any capital
contribution to the Company and the negative balance of such Member's capital account shall not
be considered a debt owed by such Member to the Company or to any other party for any
purpose whatsoever.
Section 2.4. Enforcement of Commitments. In the event any Member ("Delinquent
Member") fails to make all or any part of his initial or additional capital contributions, any other
Member may give the Delinquent Member notice of the failure to make a capital contribution. If
the Delinquent Member fails to make the unpaid amount of his capital contributions (including
any costs associated with such failure, reasonable attorneys' fees, other costs of collection and
interest on such amounts at the rate hereinafter provided) within ten business days of the giving
of the notice, then any Member may take such action, including but not limited to enforcing the
obligation to make such capital contribution in a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the State of
North Carolina. Bach Member expressly agrees to the jurisdiction of such courts for the
enforcement of this Agreement. In addition to any other right or remedy provided under this
Agreement or otherwise available, the other Members (non -Delinquent Members) may
contribute the amount of the unpaid capital contributions in proportion to such Members'
Ownership Interests. The Members who contribute ("Contributing Members") shall be entitled
either to treat the capital contribution as an additional capital contribution (subject to an
appropriate adjustment of Ownership Interests) or to treat the amounts contributed pursuant to
this section as a loan from the Contributing Member to the Delinquent Member and such loan
shall bear interest at the published "Prime Rate" of Branch Banking and Trust Company in
Raleigh, North Carolina adjusted daily as such "Prime Rate" changes and compounded monthly.
Such loan shall be secured by the Delinquent Member's interests in the Company. Until they are
fully repaid, the Contributing Members shall be entitled to all distributions and other payments to
which the Delinquent Member would have been entitled.

independent certified public accountant to prepare annual financial statements and to compile its
books and records annually. A copy of the quarterly financial statements shall be provided to
each Member and Manager as prepared.
Section 3.2. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company shall be the calendar year.

Members information on the Company's taxable income or loss that is relevant to reporting the

Company to borrow from the Members. The amount of a loan, if any, made to the Company by a
Member shall not be considered a contribution to capital of the Company nor shall the making of
such loan entitle such Member to an increased share of the profits or losses to be made pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement. All such loans shall be documented by a promissory note of
the Company and, except as otherwise agreed at the time of such loans, shall bear simple interest
at the greater of either the published "Prime Rate" of Branch Banking and Trust Company in
Raleigh, North Carolina, adjusted daily as such "Prime Rate" changes or the lowest applicable

interest" with respect to such loans, and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as
agreed to by the lending Member and the Managers.

manner required by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i). The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.
(b) Qualified Income Offset, Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5)
or (6) that causes or increases a negative balance in its capital account (in excess of any amount
that Member is obligated to restore) shall be allocated items of income and gain sufficient to
eliminate such increase or negative balance caused thereby, as quickly as possible, to the extent
required by such Treasury Regulation.
(c) Gross Intone Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit capital account
at the end of any Company fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such
Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and (ii) the amount
such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be
specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly
as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) shall be made only if and
to the extent that such Member would have a deficit capital account in excess of such sum after
all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been made as if this Section 5.2(c) were
not in this Agreement.
(d) Section 704(b) Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, no allocation of any item of income or loss shall be made to a Member if such
allocation would not have "economic effect" pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii) or otherwise be in accordance with its interest in the Company within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704- 1 (b)(3) and 1.704-2. To the extent an allocation cannot be
made to a Member due to the application of this Section 5.2(d), such allocation shall be made to
the other Member(s) entitled to receive such allocation hereunder.
(e) Curative Allocations. Any allocations of items of income, gain, or loss pursuant
to Sections 5.2(a)-(d) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations
pursuant to this Article V, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and the income,
losses, and other items allocated to each Member pursuant to this Article V shall, to the extent
possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member had no
allocations ever been made pursuant to Sections 5.2(a)-(d) hereof.
(f) Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c)
and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any
property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated
among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such
property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of
its contribution. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) are solely for purposes of federal,
state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any
Member's capital account or share of income, losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement.

Company or its Members for monetary damages for an act or omission in such person's capacity
as a Member or Manager, except as provided in the Act for (i) acts or omissions that a Manager
knew at the time of the acts or omissions were clearly in conflict with the interests of the
Company; (ii) any transaction from which the Manager derived an improper personal benefit,
and (iii) acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of this Agreement, except for
indemnification under Section 57C-3-32(a)(2) of the Act. If the Act is amended to authorize
action further eliminating or limiting the liability of the Manager or Members, then the liability
of a Manager or Member shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Act
as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section shall not adversely affect the right or
protection of a Manager or Member existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
Section 10.2. Indemnification of Members, Managers and Officers. The Company shall
indemnify each Member, Manager and officer to the fullest extent permitted or required by

Company for such advances if the Manager or Member receiving such advances is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction, upon entry of final judgment, to have violated any of the
exceptions to limitation of liability contained in Section 10.1 or in the Act which shall be deemed
to preclude indemnification. Any promissory note executed by or in connection with a request
for indemnification shall be deemed paid and satisfied in full if it shall ultimately be determined

expenses.
Section 10.3. Authorization. The Managers shall take all such action as may be
necessary and appropriate to authorize the Company to pay the indemnification required by this
Article, including without limitation making a determination that indemnification is permissible
in the circumstances and a good faith evaluation of the manner in which the claimant for
indemnity acted and of the reasonable amount of indemnity due. The Managers may appoint a
committee or special counsel to make such determination and evaluation.
Section 10.4. Nature of Right. Any person or entity who at any time serves as Manager
or as an officer of the Company shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon, and as
consideration for, the right of indemnification provided herein. Such right shall inure to the
benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of any such person or entity and shall
not be exclusive of any other rights to which such person or entity may be entitled apart from the
provisions of this Article.

with the provisions of Sections 12.2 through 12.5. For purposes of this Agreement, "Related
Party" shall mean a spouse, any issue, any trust for the sole benefit of any such Related Party or
Parties, or any partnership or limited liability company owned entirely by Members and Related
Parties of Members, or any one of them; provided, however, that any spouse living separate and
apart from the other spouse with the intention by either spouse to cease their matrimonial
cohabitation shall not be deemed a Related Party.
Section 12.3. Purchase Option upon Death, Transfer or Breach.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events concerning any Member, the
Company shall have the right to purchase at the Purchase Price (as defined below) the entire
Membership Interest held by such Member on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article:
(i) the filing of a petition by a Member for relief as a debtor or bankrupt
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state law affording debtor relief
proceedings; the adjudication of insolvency of a Member as finally determined by a court
proceeding or the filing by or on behalf of a Member to accomplish the same or for the
appointment of a receiver, custodian, assignee or trustee for the benefit of creditors of a
Member;
(ii) the commencement of any proceedings relating to a Member by a third
party under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or similar federal or state law or other
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, adjustment of debt or liquidation law; the
allowance of a Member's Membership Interest (or portion thereof) to become subject to
attachment, garnishment, charging order, or similar charge unless any such preceding
enumerated event is susceptible to cure and is cured within 90 days;
(iii) any voluntary withdrawal or attempted withdrawal of a Member other than
as a result of a Transfer in strict compliance with this Article XII;
(iv) any Transfer which constitutes a breach of the terns of any material
license, contract, loan and other agreement applicable to the Property;
(v) any action or inaction by a Member which causes a breach of or right to
terminate any material license, contract, loan and other agreement of the Company;
(vi) any breach of this Agreement by a Member, including but not limited to
the failure to make any portion of such Member's initial, subsequent or additional capital
contributions, which such Member fails to cure within 30 days after written notice from
the Company to such Member specifying the breach;
(vii) the change in control of a Member; or
(viii) the death or legal incompetence of a Member.
For purposes of this Section 12.3, "change of control" of any Member which is an
entity (not a natural person) shall mean any Transfer, whether by itself or cumulatively
with all other Transfers, of 50% or more of the membership, stock, partnership, voting,
profits, loss, management or other ownership rights or interests or which results, whether
by itself or cumulatively with all other Transfers, in the loss of the right to direct or
control the management of the day-to-day operations of such Member by those with the
right to direct or control the day-to-day operations of such Member on the date of this
Agreement.
(b) Any Member whose Membership Interest is subject to the purchase rights created
by this Section 12.3 is referred to as the "Withdrawing Member." Any Withdrawing Member, or
the personal representative or guardian of a deceased or incompetent Withdrawing Member,
shall have the obligation to give notice to the other Members and the Company of any event
triggering purchase rights under this Section 12.3.
(c) The right to purchase a Withdrawing Member's Membership Interest pursuant to
this Section 12.3 may be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Withdrawing Member no
later than sixty (60) days after the last to occur of (i) the occurrence of the event giving rise to the
purchase right, or (ii) actual receipt by all of the Members and the Company of written notice of
the occurrence of such event. Upon delivery of such notice to purchase, the Company shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the Withdrawing Member's Membership Interest,
and the Withdrawing Member, or the personal representative or guardian of a deceased or
incompetent Withdrawing Member, shall be required to sell such Membership Interest for the
Purchase Price in accordance with this Article. If approved by the vote of the Members owning
67% of the Ownership Interests (excluding the Ownership Interests of the Withdrawing
Member), the Company's purchase right under this Section 12.3 may be assigned and allocated
to the Members in accordance with the relative Ownership Interests of such Members who wish
to acquire such rights or as such Members (excluding the Withdrawing Member) otherwise
agree.
(d) Subject to Section 12.5, if the Company does not elect to exercise its purchase
right pursuant to this Section 12.3, the Membership Interest of any Withdrawing Member shall
be and become the interest of an assignee as set forth in the second and third sentences of Section
12.4. The assignee shall become a Member only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) The "Purchase Price" of any Membership Interest shall mean such price as agreed
by the Withdrawing Member and the Company. If such parties cannot agree, the Purchase Price
in the event of death or incompetency shall equal the fair market value of such Membership
Interest and the Purchase Price in other events shall equal eighty percent (80%) of the fair market
value of such Membership Interest. For purposes of this Agreement, the fair market value of a
Members Membership Interest shall equal the Ownership Interest (expressed as a percentage of
all the Ownership Interests) of such Member multiplied by the fair market value of the Property
with no value given to goodwill. The fair market value of the Property shall be determined by an
appraiser jointly selected by such parties no later than the initially scheduled Closing Date. If the
parties cannot agree on the selection of an appraiser, the fair market value shall be detemilned by
three appraisers, the first of whom is selected by the Company, the second of whom is selected
by the Withdrawing Member, or the personal representative or guardian of a deceased or
incompetent Withdrawing Member, and the third of whom is selected by the two appraisers so
selected. Each appraiser shall be qualified and experienced in appraising properties similar to the
Property. If the three appraisers cannot agree on the fair market value of the Property, then the
fair market value shall equal the appraised value determined by the appraiser whose appraised
value is not the lowest or the highest of the three appraised values. The appraisers shall be
directed to submit their determinations in writing within fifteen (IS) days after their selection.
The costs for the appraisal shall be paid one-half by the Withdrawing Member and one-half by
the purchasing Members.
(t) The closing of the purchase of any Membership Interest shall occur on the date
determined by the Company or the purchasing Members, but not later than ninety (90) days after
any obligation to close such purchase shall arise under this Section 10.4, such date being referred
to herein as the "Closing Date". On the Closing Date, the Withdrawing Member, or the personal
representative or guardian of a deceased or incompetent Withdrawing Member, shall convey its
Membership interest free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and pursuant to such
instruments of conveyance and warranties as the Company or purchasing Members shall
reasonably request. The Company or purchasing Members shall pay the Purchase Price in cash
or available funds and all fees and expenses in connection with such transaction, except the
attorneys' fees of the Withdrawing Member and one-half of the appraisal costs. The failure of
any party to satisfy the obligation to close the purchase and sale of a Membership Interest in
accordance with this Article shall entitle the other party to specific performance of such
obligation, in addition to all other equitable and legal remedies available.
(g) In connection with the closing of the purchase of a Membership Interest under
Section 12.3 (0, the Company and/or the Members, as the case may be, purchasing a
Withdrawing Member's Membership Interest shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Withdrawing Member or estate of the deceased Withdrawing Member (and the spouse of the
Withdrawing Member or surviving spouse of a deceased Withdrawing Member) from and
against all liability, loss, claims, demands, suits, obligations, damages and judgments, including
out-of-pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorney's fees (based upon actual time and
regular billing rates) incident thereto which
the Withdrawing Member (and spouse, if applicable) may suffer or incur with respect to loans,
debts and other obligations of the Company personally guaranteed by the Withdrawing Member
and/or such Withdrawing Member's spouse.
Section 12.4. Rights of Assignors and Assignees. Any transfer to an existing Member
pursuant to Section 12.2 or 12.3 shall be effective to make the transferee thereof a Member
without further action by any person. Any other sale, assignment or transfer, whether voluntary
or involuntary of any Membership Interest shall be effective to give the assignee only the
Economic Interest to which the assignor would otherwise be entitled and shall not be effective to
constitute the assignee as a Member. Any Member who assigns all of its Membership Interest
shall be removed automatically as a Member without further action or approval by any person.
An assignee who does not become a Member shall have no right to share in any management
decisions, no voting rights, no right to examine Company books and records except as required
by the Act, and no other rights of any kind whatsoever except as described in this Section. Any
assignee of the interest of a Member shall be admitted as a Member of the Company only after
the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) Members holding all of the Ownership Interests (exclusive of the assignor and
assignee) consent in writing to the admission of the assignee as a Member, which consent may
be granted or denied in the absolute discretion of such Members;
(b) the duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment has been
filed with the Company, setting forth the intention of the assignor that the assignee becomes a
Member;
(c) the assignee has consented in writing in a form satisfactory to the Members
holding all of the Ownership Interests (exclusive of the assignor and assignee) to be bound by all
of the terms of this Agreement in the place and stead of the assignor; and
(d) the assignor and assignee have executed and acknowledged such other
instruments as the Members holding all of the Ownership Interests (exclusive of the assignor and
assignee) may deem necessary or desirable to effect such admission.
Any assignee of a Membership Interest, whether or not admitted as a Member, shall be
subject to all terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such
assignee who desires to make a further assignment of such Membership Interest shall be subject
to all provisions of this Article XII to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member
desiring to make an assignment of its interest,
Section 12.5. Further Restriction on Transfer. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, (a) no Member may pledge or hypothecate a Membership Interest to
secure a debt or other obligation of such Member; and (b) no Transfer shall be made unless (i)
such Transfer will not cause a termination of the Company for federal tax purposes within the
meaning of Section 708 of the Code, (ii) the Transfer is registered under the applicable federal
and state securities laws and regulations or the Company is furnished with an opinion of counsel
(at the transferor's expense) satisfactory to the Members that such registration is not required,
and (iii) such Transfer will not cause a breach or right to terminate any material license, contract,
loan and other agreement applicable to the Property.
