IGO COMPANY. LLC Operating Agreement

indemnified had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The

at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of Members holding Voting
Interests which, taken together, exceed 50% of the aggregate of all Voting Interests other
than Voting Interests of the Manager. The removal of a Manager who is also a Member
shall not affect the Manager's rights as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of
a Member.
(L) Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring for any reason in the number of Managers
of the Company shall be filled by the affirmative vote of Members holding a majority
interest (determined without regard to any voting interest owned by a Manager who was
removed pursuant to the previous subsection during the preceding 24 month period.)

purchase (pro rata, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, unless they
agree upon another proportion) all (but not less than all) of the Company Interest of the
Withdrawing Member (the "Option Interest"). If fewer than all Continuing Members elect
to exercise this option, those exercising the option shall be entitled to purchase the
Withdrawing Member's share. In the event that none of the Continuing Members elect to
exercise such option, then, the Withdrawing Member or the executor, administrator or
personal or legal representative of the Withdrawing Member shall have the right to
transfer the Option Interest to the heirs, beneficiaries, distributees or other designated
party of the Withdrawing Member, without the further consent of the other Members.
The transferees of the Option Interest shall thereafter have all the rights and obligations
of a Member under the terms of this Agreement, provided such transferee executes an
instrument which reflects that such transferee agrees to be bound by the tenns and
conditions of this Agreement and such transferee agrees to pay any reasonable expenses
in connection with such admission as a Member.
In the case of the death of a Member holding an interest in the Company under a
tenancy by the entireties, the surviving spouse of such deceased Member shall become
the sole owner of the Member's interests, and no rights or obligations under this
paragraph in favor of Continuing Members shall apply.

(B) In the event that the Continuing Members (or any of them) elect to purchase
the Option Interest pursuant to subparagraph I3(a) hereof, settlement shall be held at the
principal office of the Company at such time and date as shall be not less than sixty (60)
days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Cessation Event. At
settlement on a purchase of the Option Interest, the Continuing Members shall deliver to
the Withdrawing Member (or his or its legal representative) a good check in the amount
of the purchase price for the Option Interest, which shall be equal to the Withdrawing
Member's pro rata share of the most recent book value of the Company (hereinafter the
"Value" of the Option Interest), based on the most recent financial records of the
Company, as prepared by its regular accountant or auditor, with the appropriate book/tax
adjustments) for any accrued liabilities, as of the last day of the fiscal year of the
Company preceding the year of settlement.
(C) In the event that any Member desires to sell his or her interest in the
Company, he or she shall first offer such interest to the other Members in writing. The
continuing Members shall then have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such
interest at the price set forth in any bona fide offer to purchase such interest from any
third party, for a period of thirty days. The other terms applicable to such right of first
refusal shall be as set forth in paragraph 13(A), except that if none of the continuing
Members exercises the right of first refusal to purchase, the selling Member shall then
have the right to sell such interest to a third party, provided that the price thereof is not
less than the price set forth in the bona fide offer as herein described.
14. Dissolution and Termination of Company.

Company business, then (A) the Company shall not be dissolved, (B) the
company and the Company business shall be continued, and (C) this Agreement
shall be amended to reflect such continuation;
