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 MANAGEMENT 5.1 Initial Managing Member. The management of the Company's business 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 the Managing Member. The initial Managing Member of the Company shall be Boris Nikolic. The Managing Member and any other Managers hereafter elected shall hold office until his, her or its death, permanent disability to perform the functions of Managing Member or Manager, as the case may be, removal, or resignation. All provisions contained herein referring to the Managing Member shall be deemed also to refer to any other Manager hereafter elected. 5.2 Management Authority. (a) Except as otherwise authorized in this Agreement, all management decisions of the Company (including, without limitation, any actions or votes taken by or on behalf of the Company in respect of any equity interest held by the Company in another entity) shall be made by the Managing Member, who shall be responsible for the conduct of the business of the Company, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Act. The Managing Member shall have all of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of managers as provided in the Act, and as otherwise provided by law, and any action taken by the Managing Member, not otherwise in violation of the Act or this Agreement, shall constitute the act of and serve to bind the Company.

The Managing Member is an agent of the Company for the purpose of its business, and the act of the Managing Member, including the execution in the Company's 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. Should the Managing Member be removed while still a Member, the removed Managing 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. 5.7 Indemnification by the Company. 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 defense of any matter as to which the Company will be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.7. 10 EFTA00584297 ARTICLE 6 MEMBERS 6.1 Powers of Members.

While the Company remains in effect or is continued, each Member waives its rights to have any Company property partitioned, or to file a complaint or to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to have any Company property partitioned, and each Member, on behalf of itself, its successors and its assigns hereby waives any such right. 6.3 Authority. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, no Member shall take any action as a Member to bind the Company, and each Member shall indemnify the Company for any costs or damages incurred by the Company as the result of the unauthorized action of such Member. 6.4 Vote of the Members. An affirmative vote or consent by or on behalf of Members holding a majority of the outstanding Membership Interests shall be required to approve or disapprove any matter on which the Members are entitled or required to decide or Consent, except where a unanimous vote or Consent is expressly required in this Agreement, or a higher percentage vote or Consent is required in the Certificate or by the Act.

Such books and records shall be open to inspection by any Member (or such Member's authorized representative) upon reasonable notice and during ordinary business hours (b) The books of the Company shall be kept in accordance with GAAP and/or on a method of accounting reasonably determined by the Managing Member, and shall show at all times each and every item of income, gain, loss and expense. 8.3 Fiscal Year.
