ARTICLE 4
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS
4.1
Capital Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain a Capital
Account for each Member.
4.2
Allocation of Profits and Losses.
(a)
Profits of the Company shall be allocated among the Members as
follows:
(i)
First, to each Member pro rata and in proportion to the
cumulative Losses, if any, allocated to such Member pursuant to
Section 4.2(b)(ii) hereof until the cumulative Profits allocated to such
Member under this Section 4.2(a)(i) equals the cumulative Losses
allocated to such Member under Section 4.2(b)(i) hereof; and
(ii)
Then, the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance
with their respective Membership Interests.
(b)
Losses of the Company shall be allocated to the Members as
follows:
(i)
First, to the Members in accordance with their respective
Membership Interests; provided, however, that no Member shall be
allocated Losses in excess of its, his or her Adjusted Capital Account
Balance, determined immediately prior to the allocation provided for in this
Section 4.2(b)(i); and
(ii)
Then, to the extent any Losses allocated to a Member
pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i) would, but for the proviso contained therein,
exceed a Member's Adjusted Capital Account Balance, such Losses shall
be allocated first to the other Members in proportion to, and to the extent
of, their respective Adjusted Capital Account Balances, and then to any
Member guaranteeing debt of the Company, making loans to the
Company or otherwise having liability for Company debt, in proportion to
the debt guaranteed, the loans made or the amount of such liability.
4.3
Reallocation by Managing Member. The allocation of Profits and Losses
in Section 4.2 is intended to have substantial economic effect within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2) or be in accordance with the Members' interests in
7
EFTA00584294
the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). If subsequent
events (including, but not limited to, nonrecourse borrowing by the Company or a loan
by a Member to the Company) cause, in the reasonable opinion of the Managing
Member, the Section 4.2 allocations to have neither substantial economic effect nor be
in accordance with the Members' interests in the Company, the Managing Member may
(a) allocate the income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company so that such
allocations are in accordance with the Members' Membership Interests; or (b) make
such other modifications to this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the addition of
minimum gain chargeback, qualified income offset and other special allocation
provisions specified in Regulations Sections 1.704-2 or 1.704-1(b)) that are necessary
in the reasonable opinion of the Managing Member to cause such allocations to have
substantial economic effect within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2).
4.4
Tax Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items
of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated, for federal and state income tax
purposes, among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding items of
income, gain, loss and deduction are allocated for purposes of maintaining the Capital
Account of each of the Members.
4.5
Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and
the 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
initial Gross Asset Value, including, but not limited to, special allocations to a
contributing Member that are required under Code Section 704(c) to be made upon
distribution of such property to any of the noncontributing Members. In the event the
Gross Asset Value of any property of the Company is adjusted pursuant to
subparagraph (b) of Section 1.13, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the
adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset
Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations
thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made
by the Managing Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and
intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.5 are solely for
purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
into account in computing, a Member's Capital Account or share of Profits or Losses,
other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
4.6
Distribution of Cash Flow. To the extent there is Cash Flow available for
distribution, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member, the Managing
Member shall cause the Company to distribute such available Cash Flow:
(a)
first, to those Members with Unreturned Capital Contributions, pro
rata in proportion to the amount of such Unreturned Capital Contributions, until
the amount of each Member's Unreturned Capital Contributions has been
reduced to zero; and
8
EFTA00584295
(b)
thereafter, to the Members, pro rata in accordance with their
respective Membership Interests.
ARTICLE 5

shall be vested in one Managing Member unless a greater number of Managers shall be
fixed and elected from time to time by Consent of the Members and with the Consent of

Nikolic. The Managing Member and any other Managers hereafter elected shall hold

name of any instrument for apparently carrying on in the usual way the business
of the Company, binds the Company, unless such act is in contravention of the
Act or this Agreement or any agreement between the Managing Member and the
Company, or unless the Managing Member so acting otherwise lacks the
authority to act for the Company, and the Person with whom the Managing
Member is dealing has knowledge of the fact that he, she or it has no such
authority. If the Managing Member acts without the requisite authority, the
Managing Member shall be liable for any damages or liabilities arising with
respect to such action unless the Managing Member can show that he, she or it
reasonably believed after due inquiry that such action was authorized.
5.3
Limitation on Liability. The Managing Member shall perform his, her or its
duties as the Managing Member in good faith, in a manner he, she or it reasonably
9
EFTA00584296
believes to be in the best interest of the Company and the Members, and with such care
as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.
A Person who performs his, her or its duties shall not have any liability by reason of
being or having been a Managing Member of the Company, except where it is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Managing Member engaged in
fraud, gross negligence or in willful violation of applicable law in the conduct of the
Company's affairs.
5.4
Removal of the Managing Member.
The Managing Member may be
removed with or without cause only with the Unanimous Consent of the Members
(including, without limitation, the Consent of the Managing Member as Member), but
such removal shall be without prejudice to any contract rights the Managing Member
may have under this Agreement. Any removal of the Managing Member shall become
effective on such date as may be specified by the Members voting in favor thereof.

Member will continue to participate in the Company as a Member and enjoy the burdens
and benefits of his, her or its Membership Interests.
5.5
Resignation of the Managing Member.
The Managing Member may
resign at any time by giving Notice to the Members. The resignation of the Managing
Member shall take effect upon receipt of such Notice or at such later date as specified
in such Notice. The acceptance of the resignation of the Managing Member shall not be
necessary to make such resignation effective.
The resignation of the Managing
Member who is also a Member shall not affect the resigning Managing Member's rights
as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of the Member.
5.6
Appointment of New Managing Member. If a vacancy in the office of
Managing Member occurs, a new Managing Member shall be designated with the
Consent of the Members to fill such vacancy. In the event that any vacancy in the office
of Managing Member is not filled as provided in the preceding sentence, management
of the Company shall be vested in the Members, and, in such event, the vote of the
Members holding a majority of the outstanding Membership Interests shall control in all
actions and decisions made by the Members.

The Company shall indemnify the
Managing Member for all costs, losses, liabilities and damages paid or incurred by the
Managing Member in connection with the business of the Company to the fullest extent
provided or permitted by the Act and the other laws of the State of Delaware, except
where it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Managing Member
engaged in fraud, gross negligence or a willful violation of applicable law in the conduct
of the Company's affairs. In connection therewith, the Company shall advance to the
Managing Member as they are paid or incurred all expenses arising with respect to the
