The Company is authorized to issue a total of 150,000,000 Membership Units consisting of two classes, including 50,000,000 Common Units and 100,000,000 Preferred Units (interchangeably referred to as “Membership Units”). The rights, duties, and obligations of the Members of the Company shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be represented by Membership Units.

The result is that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of record of series A preferred member units shall be entitled to recover their investment prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the Company’s assets or surplus funds to the holders of our common units and other subsequent series of preferred units.

Holders of series B member units have liquidation preferences over our common units and other subsequent series of preferred units.

The Company may, at the management’s option, at any time, redeem any number of outstanding preferred C units at a per unit rate at which each such preferred unit was sold, plus any accrued preferred dividend.  The Company’s preferred units have preferred dividend rights equal to 8% per year on a cumulative noncompounded basis.  Holders of preferred units have no voting rights.  Holders of series C member units have liquidation preferences over our common units and other subsequent series of preferred units.

(d) Other Preferred Units. In the future, the company intends to raise working capital through sales of preferred units.  The board of directors has authority, in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s operating agreement, and without action by the members, to designate and issue all or any portion of the remaining authorized but unissued preferred units, and to determine the voting rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of units constituting any series in the designation of such series. Such preferred units, if and when issued, may carry rights superior to those of the common units. In addition, this Amended Operating Agreement may be amended to include other series of preferred member units.

Withdrawal of Contributions. No Member shall have the right or be permitted to withdraw from the Company or demand the return of all or any part of its Capital Contribution except as agreed in writing by all of the Members. Any voluntary act of a Member that constitutes a withdrawal from the Company shall constitute material breach of this Agreement and the Company shall be entitled to collect damages for such breach. Such damages shall offset any cash or other property otherwise distributable to such Member by the Company.


2.8

Transfer of Membership Units. Membership Units are held, and may only be transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, sold, or otherwise disposed of, in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Additional Members shall only be admitted as provided in Section 2.9.


2.9

Admission of Additional Members. On the issuance of newly authorized Membership Units in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4 and on receipt of the Capital Contribution specified and the delivery to the Company of an executed Counterpart Signature Page indicating the holder’s agreement to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such holder shall become an additional Member of the Company (an “Additional Member”). On the transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, sale, or other disposition of any Membership Units in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8, the subsequent holder shall be entitled to receive a share of the capital, profits, and cash available for distribution from the Company represented by the number and class of Membership Units pursuant to this Agreement held by such holder but shall not become a Member of the Company and shall have no right to participate in the affairs of the Company unless the chief executive officer consents to the admission of such holder as an Additional Member, such holder has delivered to the Company an executed Counterpart Signature Page agreeing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such holder has paid any reasonable expenses in connection with such holder’s admission as an Additional Member. Until approval and admission of the subsequent holder as an Additional Member has been completed, the transferor shall continue as a Member of the Company with respect to such transferred Membership Units for all purposes other than participation in the capital, profits, and cash available for distribution by the Company related to the transferred Membership Units. The admission of a transferee of Membership Units as an Additional Member shall not effect the dissolution of the Company. No Additional Members shall be entitled to any retroactive allocation of losses, income or expense deductions incurred by the Company. The chief executive officer may, at the time an Additional Member is admitted, close the Company books (as though the Company’s tax year had ended) or make pro rata allocation of loss, income and expense deductions to an Additional Member for that portion of the Company’s tax year in which the Additional Member was admitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 706(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued by the United States Treasury Department promulgated thereunder (“Regulations”).

Transfer Limitations. In addition to other limitations on transfer or disposition of a Membership Unit set forth herein, no disposition of any Membership Unit by a Member may be made if the Membership Unit or any part thereof sought to be transferred, when added to the total of all other Membership Units disposed of within the period of 12 consecutive months prior to the proposed date of disposition, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, results in the termination of the Company under the Code. Further, no disposition of any Membership Unit may be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under state securities laws or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration is available. In addition, no disposition of any Membership Unit may be made if, in the opinion of counsel of the Company, such disposition would cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation rather than as a limited liability company subject to the provisions of Subchapter K of the Code, or any comparable provisions then in effect.

ARTICLE XIV


INDEMNIFICATION OF MEMBERS AND MANAGER; OFFICER

AND MANAGER CONTRACTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY


14.1

Indemnification of Members and Chief Executive Officer.




26





(a)

Third Party Actions. To the greatest extent not inconsistent with the laws and public policies of the State of California, the Company will indemnify any Member or officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding because such individual is or was a Member or officer or director, as a matter of right, against all liability incurred by such individual in connection with any proceeding; provided that it is determined that the specific indemnification of such individual is permissible in the circumstances because the individual has met the standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in subsection (d) of this Section. The Company will pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a Member, officer or director in connection with any such proceeding in advance of final disposition thereof if (i) the individual furnishes the Company a written affirmation of the standard of conduct for indemnification described in subsection (d) of this Section, (ii) the individual furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on such individual’s behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that such individual did not meet such standards of conduct, and (iii) a determination is made in accordance with subsection (e) that, based upon facts then known to those making the determination, indemnification would not be precluded under this Section. The undertaking described in subsection (a)(ii) above must be a general obligation of the Member, officer or director, subject to such reasonable limitations as the Company may permit, but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment. The Company will indemnify a Member, officer or director who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, without the requirement of a determination as set forth in subsection (d) of this Section. Upon demand by a Member, officer or director for indemnification or advancement of expenses, as the case may be, the Company will expeditiously determine whether the Member, officer or director is entitled thereto in accordance with this Section. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for under this Section will be applicable to any proceeding arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption of this Section.


(b) The Company Actions. To the greatest extent not inconsistent with the laws and public policies of State of California, the Company will indemnify any Member, officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding by or in the right of the Company because such individual is or was a Member, officer or director, as a matter of right, against all liability incurred by such individual in connection with proceeding; provided that it is determined that the specific indemnification of such individual is permissible in the circumstances because the individual has met the standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in subsection (d) of this Section, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine on application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. The Company will pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a Member, officer or director in connection with any such proceeding in advance of final disposition thereof if, (i) the individual furnishes the Company a written affirmation of the standard of conduct for indemnification described in subsection (d) of this Section, (ii) the individual furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on such individual’s behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that such individual did not meet such standards of conduct, and (iii) a determination is made in accordance with subsection (e) that, based upon facts then known to those making the determination, indemnification would not be precluded under this Section. The undertaking described in subsection (b)(ii) above must be a general obligation of the Member, officer or director, subject to such reasonable limitations as the Company may permit, but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment. The Company will indemnify a Member, officer or director who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, without the requirement of a determination as set forth in subsection (d) of this Section. Upon demand by a Member, officer or director for indemnification or advancement of expenses, as the case may be, the Company will expeditiously determine whether the Member, officer or director is entitled thereto in accordance with this Section. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for under this Section will be applicable to any proceeding arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption of this Section.




27





(c)

Additional Capacities. The Company will have the power, but not the obligation, to indemnify any individual or entity who is or was an employee, officer or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, member, trustee, employee, or agent of another limited partnership, limited liability company, association, corporation, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise to the same extent as if such individual is or was a Member, officer or director.


(d)

Required Conduct. Indemnification is permissible under this Section only if (i) the subject party conducted himself in good faith, (ii) the subject party reasonably believed that his conduct was in or at least not opposed to the Company’s best interest; and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the subject party had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, demonstrative or sufficient to create a presumption that the individual did not meet the standard of conduct described in this subsection.


(e)

Determination. A determination as to whether indemnification or advancement of expenses is permissible shall be made by one of the following procedures; (i) by the chief executive officer, if not a party to such proceeding; (ii) if the chief executive officer is party to the proceeding, by the Majority-In-Interest, not at the time party to such proceedings, at any meeting duly called for such purpose; or (iii) by independent legal counsel selected by the Majority-In-Interest at any meeting duly called for such purpose.


(f)

Application to the Court. A Member, officer or director of the Company who is

a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification from the Company to the court, if any, conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving notice the court considers necessary, may order indemnification if it determines: (i) in a proceeding in which the Member, officer or director is wholly successful, on their merits or otherwise, the Member, officer or director is entitled to indemnification under this Section, in which case the court will order the Company to pay the Member, officer or director his reasonable expenses incurred to obtain such court ordered indemnification; or (ii) the Member, officer or director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the Member, officer or director meets the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (d) of this Section.


(g)

Employee Benefit Plan. Indemnification will be provided for an individual’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan if the individual reasonably believed his conduct to be in the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan.




28





(h)

General Indemnification. Nothing contained in this Section will limit or preclude the exercise or be deemed exclusive of any right under the law, by contract or otherwise, relating to indemnification of or advancement of expenses to any individual who is or was a Member, officer or director of the Company or is or was serving at the Company’s request as a manager, officer, director, member, trustee, employee, or agent of another, limited partnership, association, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise. Nothing contained in this Section will limit the ability of the Company to otherwise indemnify or advance expenses to any individual. It is the intent of this Section to provide indemnification to Members and the chief executive officer to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the law consistent with the terms and conditions of this Section. Indemnification will be provided in accordance with this Section irrespective of the nature of the legal or equitable theory upon which a claim is made including, without limitation, negligence, breach of duty, mismanagement, waste, breach of contract, breach of warranty, strict liability, violation of federal or state securities law, as amended, or violation of any other state or federal law.

14.2

No contract or other transaction between the Company and any other person, firm, or entity shall be affected by the fact that a manager, officer, employee, or agent of the Company has an interest in, or is a manager or officer of the Company or any such other entity.
