     (b) Unit Holder Minimum Gain  Chargeback.  Except as otherwise  provided in
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of
this  Article III, if there is a net  decrease in Unit Holder  Nonrecourse  Debt

Year,  each Unit  Holder  who has a share of the Unit  Holder  Nonrecourse  Debt
Minimum Gain attributable to such Unit Holder  Nonrecourse  Debt,  determined in
accordance with Section  1.704-2(i)(5)  of the  Regulations,  shall be specially
allocated  items of  Company  income  and gain for such  Fiscal  Year  (and,  if
necessary,  subsequent  Fiscal  Years) in an amount equal to such Unit  Holder's
share  of the net  decrease  in  Unit  Holder  Nonrecourse  Debt  Minimum  Gain,
determined in accordance with  Regulations  Section  1.704-2(i)(4).  Allocations

amounts required to be allocated to each Unit Holder pursuant thereto. The items
to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4)
and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations.  This Section 3.3(b) is intended to comply
with the minimum gain  chargeback  requirement in Section  1.704-2(i)(4)  of the
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

     (c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly  receives
any   adjustments,   allocations,   or   distributions   described  in  Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),  1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of
the Regulations,  items of Company income and gain shall be specially  allocated
to such Member in an amount and manner  sufficient to  eliminate,  to the extent
required by the  Regulations,  the Adjusted  Capital  Account Deficit as soon as
practicable,  provided that an allocation  pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) shall
be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital
Account  Deficit  after all other  allocations  provided for in this Article III
have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.3(c) were not in the Agreement.

     (d) Gross Income Allocation.  In the event any Member has a deficit Capital
Account at the end of any 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  Sections   1.704-2(g)(1)   and
1.704-2(i)(5) of the  Regulations,  then in such  circumstance  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  3.3(d)  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 III have been made as if Sections 3.3(c) and 3.3(d)
were not in this Agreement.

     (e) Nonrecourse  Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or
other period shall be specially  allocated  among the Members in  proportion  to
Units held.

     (f)  Unit  Holder  Nonrecourse  Deductions.  Any  Unit  Holder  Nonrecourse
Deductions  for any Fiscal Year shall be specially  allocated to the Unit Holder
who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Unit Holder  Nonrecourse
Debt to which  such Unit  Holder  Nonrecourse  Deductions  are  attributable  in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

     (g) Section 754  Adjustments.  To the extent an  adjustment to the adjusted
tax basis of any Company asset,  pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section
743(b) is required,  pursuant to Regulations Section  1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4),  to  be  taken  into  account  in  determining  Capital
Accounts  as  the  result  of  a  distribution  to a  Unit  Holder  in  complete
liquidation  of such Unit Holder's  interest in the Company,  the amount of such
adjustment  to  Capital  Accounts  shall be  treated  as an item of gain (if the
adjustment  increases  the  basis  of the  asset)  or loss  (if  the  adjustment
decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially  allocated to the
Unit  Holders in  accordance  with their  interests  in the Company in the event
Regulations  Section  1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2)  applies, or to


                                      -9-



the Unit  Holder to whom  such  distribution  was made in the event  Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

     (h) Allocations  Relating to Taxable Issuance of Company Units. Any income,
gain, loss or deduction  realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance
of Units  by the  Company  to a Unit  Holder  (the  "Issuance  Items")  shall be
allocated among the Unit Holders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount
of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement
to each  Unit  Holder  shall be equal to the net  amount  that  would  have been
allocated to each such Unit Holder if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

3.4  Regulatory  Allocations.  The  allocations  set forth in  Sections  3.3(a),
3.3(b),  3.3(c),  3.3(d),  3.3(e),  3.3(f),  3.3(g)  and  3.5  (the  "Regulatory
Allocations")   are  intended  to  comply  with  certain   requirements  of  the
Regulations.  It is the intent of the Unit Holders that, to the extent possible,
all  Regulatory  Allocations  shall  be  offset  either  with  other  Regulatory
Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income,  gain,
loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 3.4.  Therefore,  notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article III (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the
Board shall make such offsetting  special  allocations of Company income,  gain,
loss or deduction in whatever manner they determine  appropriate so that,  after
such offsetting allocations are made, each Unit Holder's Capital Account balance
is, to the extent  possible,  equal to the  Capital  Account  balance  such Unit
Holder  would  have  had if the  Regulatory  Allocations  were  not  part of the
Agreement  and all Company items were  allocated  pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2,
and 3.3(h).

3.5 Loss Limitation.  Losses allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement
shall not exceed the  maximum  amount of Losses  that can be  allocated  without
causing any Unit Holder to have an Adjusted  Capital  Account Deficit at the end
of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Unit Holders would have
Adjusted  Capital  Account  Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses
pursuant  to Section 3.2 of this  Agreement,  the  limitation  set forth in this
Section 3.5 shall be applied on a Unit  Holder by Unit  Holder  basis and Losses
not  allocable  to any Unit  Holder  as a  result  of such  limitation  shall be
allocated to the other Unit Holders in accordance with the positive  balances in
such Unit Holder's  Capital  Accounts so as to allocate the maximum  permissible
Losses  to  each  Unit  Holder  under   Section   1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)   of  the
Regulations.

3.6 Other Allocation Rules.

     (a) For  purposes  of  determining  Profits,  Losses  and any  other  items
allocable  to any  period,  Profits,  Losses and any such other  items  shall be
determined on a daily,  monthly or other basis, as determined by the Board using
any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

     (b) The Unit  Holders  are  aware of the  income  tax  consequences  of the
allocations  made by this  Article  III and  hereby  agree  to be  bound  by the
provisions of this Article III in reporting  their shares of Company  income and
loss for income tax purposes.

     (c) Solely for purposes of determining a Unit Holder's  proportionate share
of the "excess  nonrecourse  liabilities"  of the Company  within the meaning of
Regulations  Section  1.752-3(a)(3),  the Unit Holders'  aggregate  interests in
Company  Profits shall be deemed to be as provided in the Capital  Accounts.  To
the extent  permitted by Section  1.704-2(h)(3)  of the  Regulations,  the Board
shall endeavor to treat  distributions of Net Cash Flow as having been made from
the proceeds of a Nonrecourse  Liability or a Unit Holder  Nonrecourse Debt only
to the extent  that such  distributions  would  cause or  increase  an  Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit for any Unit Holder.


                                      -10-



     (d) Profits and Losses to the Unit  Holders  shall be  allocated  among the
Unit  Holders in the ratio  which each Unit  Holder's  Units  bears to the total
number of Units issued and outstanding.

3.7 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). 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 Unit  Holders  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.  In the event the Gross
Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted  pursuant to  subparagraph  (ii) of
the  definition  of Gross  Asset  Value in Section  1.10(t)  of this  Agreement,
subsequent  allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such
asset shall take account of any  variation  between the  adjusted  basis of such
asset 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
Board in any manner that  reasonably  reflects the purpose and intention of this
Agreement.  Allocations  pursuant to this Section 3.7 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 Unit Holder's  Capital  Account or share of Profits,
Losses,  other  items  or  distributions  pursuant  to  any  provision  of  this
Agreement.

3.8 Tax Credit Allocations. All income tax credits with respect to the Company's
property or operations  shall be allocated  among the Members in accordance with
their  respective  Membership  Interests  for the Fiscal Year  during  which the
expenditure, production, sale or other event giving rise to such credits occurs.
This Section 3.8 is intended to comply with the applicable tax credit allocation
principles of  Regulations  Section  1.704-1(b)(4)(ii)  and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.

                            ARTICLE IV. DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Net Cash Flow.  Subject to the terms and conditions of any  applicable  loan
covenants and  restrictions,  the Board,  in their sole  discretion,  shall make
distributions  of Net Cash Flow,  if any, to the Unit Holders in  proportion  to
Units held. In  determining  Net Cash Flow,  the Board shall endeavor to provide
for cash distributions at such times and in such amounts as will permit the Unit
Holders to make timely payment of income taxes.

4.2 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision
of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution

which such amount was  withheld  pursuant to this  Section 4.2 for all  purposes
under this  Agreement.  The Company is  authorized to withhold from payments and
distributions,  or with respect to  allocations,  to the Unit Holders and to pay
over to any federal, state, local or foreign government, any amounts required to
be so  withheld,  and shall  allocate  any such amounts to the Unit Holders with
respect to which such amount was withheld.

4.3 Limitations on Distributions. The Company shall make no distributions to the
Unit  Holders  except as  provided  in this  Article IV and in Article X of this

intent that the Board is authorized to address the transition to such new number
of  directors  and shall take  reasonable  efforts to  maintain  proportionately
staggered terms for the Directors thereafter.

     (b) Nominees for a Director  position up for election shall be named by the
then-current   Directors  or  by  a  nominating  committee  established  by  the
Directors.  Nominations  may also be made by any Member  entitled to vote in the
election of Directors. Any Member that intends to nominate a Person for election
as a Director may do so only if written  notice of such Member's  intent to make
such nomination is given one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the one
year  anniversary  of the date on which the Company  delivered  the prior year's
proxy  statement or notice of annual  meeting to such Members.  Each such notice
shall set forth:  (i) the name and address of the Member who intends to make the
nomination; (ii) a representation that the Member is a holder of record of Units
entitled to vote at such  meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at
the meeting to nominate the Person specified in the notice; (iii) the name, age,
address and principal  occupation/employment of each nominee; (iv) a description
of all  arrangements or  understandings  between the Member and each nominee and
any other Person(s)  pursuant to which such nominations are to be made; (v) such
other information  regarding each nominee as would be required to be included in
a proxy  statement  filed  pursuant  to the proxy  rules of the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission;  (vi) the consent of each nominee to serve as a Director if
so elected;  and (vii) a nominating  petition signed and dated by the holders of
at least five percent  (5%) of the then  outstanding  Units and clearly  setting
forth the proposed  nominee as a candidate for the Director's seat to be filled.
The Company may require any proposed  nominee to furnish such other  information
as may  reasonably  be required by the Company to determine the  eligibility  of
such  proposed  nominee to serve as a  Director.  The  presiding  Officer of the
meeting may, if the facts  warrant,  determine that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the foregoing  procedures,  and if so determined,  the defective
nomination shall be disregarded.

5.4 Authority of Directors.  Subject to the  limitations  and  restrictions  set
forth in this  Agreement  and the Act, the Board shall direct the  management of

5.6 Restrictions on Authority of Directors.

     (a)  Notwithstanding  any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,  the

     Section  10.1,  to the  extent  permitted  by the Act (other  than  seeking
     approval of Members as provided in this Section).

The actions specified herein as requiring the consent of the Members shall be in
addition to any actions by the Board that are  specified in the Act as requiring
the  consent or  approval  of the  Members.  Unless  otherwise  required by this
Agreement  or the Act, any such  required  consent or approval may be given by a
vote of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests.

5.7 Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board shall be held, without other notice
than this  Section,  immediately  after,  and at the same  place as,  the annual
meeting of the Members.  Additionally,  the Board may, by resolution,  prescribe
the time and  place for  holding  regular  meetings  and may  provide  that such
resolution  constitutes notice thereof. If the Board does not prescribe the time
and place for the holding of regular  meetings,  such regular  meetings shall be
held at the time and place specified in the notice of each such regular meeting.
Unless otherwise prescribed by statute, special meetings may be called by, or at
the request of, the  Chairman  or any two (2) or more  Directors.  The Board may
designate  any  location as the place of any regular or special  meeting.  If no
designation is made,  the place of meeting shall be the principal  office of the
Company.

5.8 Notice.  Notice shall be given to each  Director with respect to any special
meeting of the Board,  stating  the date,  time and place of the  meeting.  Such
notice  shall be  given  at least  one (1) day  prior  thereto  and  shall be in
writing,  unless oral notice is reasonable under the  circumstances.  If mailed,
such  notice  shall be deemed to be  delivered  on the  earlier of five (5) days
after deposit in the U.S. mail addressed to the  Director's  address as shown on
the Company's  records with postage prepaid,  or upon receipt.  Any Director may
waive notice of any meeting. Except as provided in the next sentence, the waiver
must be in writing,  signed by the Director  entitled to notice,  and filed with
the minutes  relating to the action taken. A Director's  attendance at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,  except where such Director
attends the meeting for the express  purpose of objecting to the  transaction of
any business  because the meeting was not lawfully  called or convened.  Neither
the  business  to be  transacted  at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special
meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting.

5.9 Conduct of Meeting. All Directors, to the extent possible,  shall personally
attend all Board meetings.  However, any Director may participate in any regular
or  special  meeting  by any  means  of  communication  by which  all  Directors
participating may simultaneously  hear each other during the meeting. A Director
participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person.

5.10  Quorum.  A majority of the duly  elected  and  qualified  Directors  shall
constitute a quorum for the  transaction  of business at a meeting of the Board.
If less than a quorum is represented at a meeting, the Directors represented may
adjourn the meeting and reschedule it for a later date without  further  notice.
At such  adjourned  and  rescheduled  meeting  at which a quorum is  present  or
represented,  any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the original meeting. Directors present at a duly organized meeting may continue
to transact  business  until  adjournment,  notwithstanding  the  withdrawal  of
Directors to leave less than a quorum.

5.11 Manner of Acting;  Informal  Action.  Except as otherwise  provided in this
Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors at a meeting at which a quorum
is present shall be the act of the Board.  Unless otherwise provided by law, any
action  required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing  setting  forth the action so taken is
signed  by all  Directors  entitled  to vote with  respect  the  subject  matter
thereof.


                                      -15-


5.12 Presumption of Assent. A Director present at a meeting shall be presumed to
have assented to action taken, unless the dissent of such Director is entered in
the minutes of the meeting or unless such  Director  files a written  dissent to
such action with the other Directors before the adjournment  thereof or forwards
such dissent by mail to the other  Directors  immediately  after the adjournment
thereof.  Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favor
of an action.

5.13 Removal of Directors. Members may remove a Director, with or without cause,
at a meeting called for that purpose, if notice has been given that a purpose of
the meeting is such removal and an  affirmative  vote of Members  holding eighty
percent (80%) or more of the Member Voting Interests.

5.14  Vacancies.  Any vacancy  occurring in the  Directors  may be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors. A Director elected to
fill a  vacancy  shall be  elected  for the  unexpired  term of such  Director's
predecessor in office.

5.15  Compensation.  The Board, by a two-thirds  (2/3)  affirmative  vote of the
Directors,  shall have  authority to establish  reasonable  compensation  of all
Directors for services to the Company as Directors,  officers or otherwise,  and
to provide for reimbursement to Directors of their reasonable expenses.

5.16 Committees;  Authority.  The Board may create such committees,  and appoint
such Directors to serve on them, as the Board deems appropriate.  Each committee
must have two (2) or more Directors, who serve at the pleasure of the Board. The
creation of a committee,  and the  appointment of Directors to serve on it, must
be approved by a majority of the  Directors.  The  procedural  requirements  for
Board  meetings  under this  Article V shall also apply to  committee  meetings.
Committees of the Board may exercise only those aspects of the Board's authority
which   are   expressly   conferred   by  the  Board  by   express   resolution.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   however,  a  committee  may  not,  under  any
circumstances: (i) apportion or authorize distributions; (ii) approve or propose
any action for which the Act requires  Member  approval;  (iii) elect  Officers;
(iv) fill vacancies of Directors or on any of its committees;  (v) adopt, amend,
or repeal the Articles or this Agreement;  (vi) approve a plan of merger;  (vii)
authorize or approve the  reacquisition of Units,  except according to a formula
or method prescribed by the Directors; or (ix) authorize or approve the issuance
or sale or contract for sale of Units or determine the  designation and relative
rights, preferences, and limitations of a class or series of Units.

5.17 Voting;  Potential  Financial  Interest.  Unless otherwise  provided by the
Board,  no Director  shall be  disqualified  from voting on any matter solely by
reason of such Director's (or his/her Affiliate's)  potential financial interest
in the  outcome  of such  vote,  provided  that  the  nature  of such  potential
financial interest was reasonably disclosed at the time of such vote.

5.18 Duties and Obligations of Directors. The Board shall take all actions which
may be necessary or appropriate: (i) for the continuation of the Company's valid
existence as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Nebraska
and each other  jurisdiction in which such existence is necessary to protect the
limited liability of Members or to enable the Company to conduct the business in
which it is engaged;  and (ii) for the accomplishment of the Company's purposes,
including the acquisition, development, maintenance, preservation, and operation
of Company  Property in accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Agreement and
applicable laws and regulations.  Each Director shall have the duty to discharge
the  foregoing  duties  in good  faith and with the care an  ordinarily  prudent
person in a like  position  would  exercise  under  similar  circumstances.  The

to conduct the affairs of the Company in a particular manner.

in office.  Each  Chairman or Vice  Chairman  shall be chosen  from  individuals
serving as Directors.

Company,  when so directed by the Board or other  person(s)  authorized  to call

powers of an office remains  subject to the standard of conduct for such Officer
as set forth in the Act with  respect to the  discharge of all duties and powers
so delegated.

under the Act and other applicable law, no Member,  Director or Officer shall be
personally liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company merely by
reason of being a Member,  Director  or  Officer.  Furthermore,  to the  maximum
extent permitted under the Act, the liability of Directors and Officers shall be
eliminated, and


                                      -17-

for monetary damages for, any action taken, or any failure to take action,  as a
Director or  Officer,  except for  liability  for any of the  following,  to the
extent  determined by final  adjudication  on the merits by a court of competent
jurisdiction:

          a. The amount of a  financial  benefit  received  by the  Director  or
     Officer to which the Director or Officer is not entitled;

          b. An intentional infliction of harm on the Company or its Members;

          c. An intentional violation of criminal law.

and hold  harmless,  and pay all judgments  and claims  against each Director or
Officer  relating  to any  liability  or  damage  incurred  by reason of any act
performed or omitted to be performed by such Director or Officer,  in connection
with the business of the Company,  including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred
by such Director in connection  with the defense of any action based on any such
act or omission,  which  attorneys' fees may be paid as incurred,  including all
such liabilities under federal and state securities laws as permitted by law. To

all costs,  liabilities,  damages  and  expenses  of such  Director  or Officer,
including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  incurred in the defense of such action.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions,  no  Director  or Officer  shall be
indemnified  by the Company to the extent  prohibited or limited by the Act. The
Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Director or Officer
in his or her official capacity against any liability described in this Section,
whether or not the  Company  would  otherwise  be  required  to  indemnify  such
Director or Officer against such liability.

                      ARTICLE VI. MEMBERSHIP UNITS; MEMBERS

6.1 Membership Units. The authorized capital of the Company shall consist solely
of Units, having the rights, powers and preferences herein described:

          (a) The  Company may issue Units in such  amounts,  at such times,  to
     such  Persons  and on such  other  terms  and  conditions  as the Board may
     determine.  Ownership  of one or more Units  shall  entitle a Member to the
     Membership Voting Interest,  Membership  Economic Interest and other rights
     and obligation expressly set forth in this Agreement.

          (b)   Additional  and  different   classes  of  Membership   Interests
     represented by different Units may be created and issued to new or existing
     Members on such terms and conditions as the Directors may  determine.  Such
     additional  and different  classes may have  different  rights,  powers and
     preferences (including,  without limitation, voting rights and distribution
     preferences),  which may be superior to those of existing  Members.  In the
     event of creation of additional  Membership  Interests,  Exhibit A shall be
     updated as necessary by the Board to reflect such Membership  Interests and
     the Board shall amend this Agreement, and the Members hereby consent to the
     amendment  hereof,  to  reflect  (a)  the  sale  of  additional  Membership
     Interests  with such  terms as the Board  shall deem  appropriate,  (b) the
     admission of  additional  Members.  Except as  expressly  set forth in this
     Agreement, Members shall have no preemptive rights to acquire additional or
     newly created Units.


                                      -18-

     forty percent (40%) of the Units of the Company.

6.2 Certificates;  Surrender for Transfer. Certificates representing Units shall

certificate is lost,  destroyed or mutilated,  a new one may be issued upon such
terms  and  indemnity  to  the  Company  as  the  Board  may  prescribe.  No new
certificate  shall be issued until the former  certificate  for a like number of
Units has been surrendered and canceled.

6.3  Members.  Each  Person who  desires to become a Member  must  complete  and
execute a signature  page to this  Agreement in the form of Exhibit "B" attached
hereto and such other  documents  as may be  required  by the Board.  Membership
Interests  and Units of the  Members  shall be set forth on Exhibit  "A" to this
Agreement, as amended from time to time.

6.4  Additional  Members.  Subject to the  provisions  of 9.10,  no Person shall
become a Member without the approval of the Board. The Board may refuse to admit
any Person as a Member in their sole discretion.  Any such admission must comply
with the  requirements  described in this  Agreement and will be effective  only
after such Person has executed and  delivered to the Company such  documentation
as determined by the  Directors to be necessary and  appropriate  to effect such
admission.  All Members acknowledge that the admission of additional Members may
result in a dilution of a Member's Membership Interest.  Prior to admission as a
Member,  a  prospective  Member  shall  agree  in  writing  to be  bound by this
Agreement  and shall  execute  and  deliver to the  Company an  Addendum to this
Agreement in the form of Exhibit "B" attached hereto. Upon the execution of such
Addendum, such additional Member shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement
as if such  additional  Member had executed this  Agreement on the original date
hereof, and shall be bound by all of the provisions set forth herein.

6.5 Members'  Voting Rights.  Each Member holding Units shall be entitled to one
(1) vote for each Unit  registered  in the name of such  Member (as shown in the
Unit  Holder  Register)  as to any  matter for which a Member  holding  Units is
entitled to vote under this  Agreement or the Act.  Unless a matter is expressly
reserved in this  Agreement  for the vote or approval of a  particular  class of
Units, each Member holding Units (regardless of class) shall be entitled to vote
thereon,  with each Member  entitled to one (1) vote for each Unit registered in
the name of such Member (as shown in the Unit  Holder  Register.  Members  shall
have  cumulative  voting  rights for the  election of  Directors as described in

control of the  Company or its  business  and  affairs or to act for or bind the
Company in any way.

6.6 Member  Meetings.  Meetings of the Members shall be called by the Board, and
shall be held at the  principal  office of the Company or at such other place as
shall be designated by the Board.  Members representing an aggregate of not less
than thirty percent (30%) of the Membership Voting Interests may also in writing
demand  that the Board call a meeting of the  Members.  Regular  meetings of the
Members shall be held not less than once per Fiscal Year.

6.7 Place of Meeting.  The Board, or in the absence of action by the Board,  the
Chairman,  may  designate any place as the place for any meeting of the Members,
unless by written  consents,  a majority of all Members  entitled to vote at the
meeting  designate a  different  place for the  holding of such  meeting.  If no
designation  is made by the Board,  the Chairman or by  unanimous  action of the
Members, the place of meetings shall be at the principal office of the Company.


                                      -19-


6.8 Conduct of Meetings. Subject to the discretion of the Board, the Members may
participate  in any Member  meeting by means of telephone  conference or similar
means of  communication by which all participants in the meeting can hear and be
heard by all other participants.

6.9 Notice.  Written  notice stating the place and time of any annual or special
Member meeting shall be delivered or mailed not less than five (5) nor more than
sixty (60) days prior to the meeting date, to each Member of record  entitled to
vote at such  meeting as of the close of  business on the day before said notice
is delivered or mailed.  Such notices  shall be deemed to be effective  upon the
earlier of: (i)  deposit  postage-prepaid  in the U.S.  mail,  addressed  to the
Member at the  Member's  address as it appears on the Unit Holder  Register,  or
such other  address  as may have been  provided  in writing to the  Company by a
Member;  (ii) the date shown on the  return  receipt  if sent by  registered  or
certified mail, return receipt requested; or (iii) actual receipt.

6.10  Contents of Notice.  The notice of each  Member  meeting  shall  include a
description of the  purpose(s) for which the meeting is called.  If a purpose of
any Member meeting is to consider: (i) a proposed amendment to or restatement of
the Articles or this Agreement requiring Member approval;  (ii) a plan of merger
or Unit exchange;  (iii) the sale, lease,  exchange or other disposition of all,
or  substantially  all of the Company's  Property;  (iv) the  dissolution of the
Company; or (v) removal of a Director, then the notice must so state and must be
accompanied,  as applicable, by a copy or summary of the (1) amendment(s) to the
Articles  or  Operating  Agreement,  (2) plan of  merger or Unit  exchange,  (3)
documents  relating to the  transaction for the disposition of all the Company's
Property, and/or (4) documents relating to any plan for dissolution.

6.11 Adjourned Meetings. If any Member meeting is adjourned to a different date,
time or place,  notice need not be given of the new date,  time or place, if the
new  date,  time and  place is  announced  at the  meeting  before  adjournment;
provided  that,  if a new record  date for the  adjourned  meeting is or must be
fixed, then notice must be given to new Members as of the new record date.

6.12 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Member
under the Act, the Articles or this  Agreement,  a waiver in writing,  signed by
such  Member  shall  be  deemed   equivalent  to  the  giving  of  such  notice.
Furthermore,  a Member's  attendance at a meeting  waives any objection that the
Member might otherwise raise based on lack of notice or defective notice, unless
the Member: (i) objects at the outset of the meeting;  or (ii) in the case of an
objection  claiming that  consideration of a particular matter is not within the
purposes  described  in the meeting  notice,  objects at the time such matter is
presented, and in either case, thereafter does not participate in the meeting.

6.13 Fixing of Record Date. For purposes of determining the Members  entitled to
notice of, or to vote at, any Member meeting or any adjournment  thereof, or for
purposes  of  determining  the  Members  entitled  to  receive  payment  of  any
distribution,  or in order to make a determination  of the Members for any other
purpose, the Board may provide that the Unit Holder Register shall be closed for
a stated  period,  not to exceed  sixty (60) days.  If the Unit Holder  Register
shall be closed for such  purpose,  such books  shall be closed for at least ten
(10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the Unit Holder
Register,  the Board may fix in advance a date as the  record  date for any such
determination  of Members,  such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60)
days, and in case of a meeting of Members not less than ten (10) days,  prior to
the date on which the particular  action  requiring such  determination is to be
taken. If the Unit Holder Register is not closed and no record date is fixed for
the determination, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date
on which the  resolution  of the Board  declaring a dividend is adopted,  as the
case  may  be,  shall  be  the  record  date  for  such  determination.  When  a
determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of the Members has been
made  as  provided  in this  Section,  such  determination  shall  apply  to any
adjournment thereof,  unless the Board fixes a new


                                      -20-


record  date,  which it must do if the meeting is  adjourned to a date more than
one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

6.14 Quorum and Proxies.  The presence (in person or by proxy or mail ballot) of
Members  holding at least twenty five  percent  (25%) of the  Membership  Voting
Interests  is  required  for the  transaction  of  business  at a meeting of the
Members.  Voting by proxy or by mail ballot  shall be permitted on any matter if
authorized  by the  Board.  A proxy  shall  not be  effective  for  purposes  of
determining  a quorum under this Section or for purposes of voting at the annual
meeting  unless and until it is received by the  Secretary of the Company and is
duly  executed  as  provided  in  such  proxy.  In  each  case  where  a  Member
appropriately  specifies  how a  proxy  is to be  voted,  it will  be  voted  in
accordance  with such  specification.  As to any matter or business which may be
brought before an annual meeting which is note discussed in the Company's  proxy
statement,  a vote  may be cast  pursuant  to a proxy  in  accordance  with  the
judgment of the Company's  proxies name in the proxy voting the same. Any Member
may revoke his or her proxy at any time  insofar as it is then not  exercised by
giving notice of such revocation,  either personally at the annual meeting or in
writing, to the Secretary of the Company or by the execution and delivery to the
Company of a new proxy dated subsequent to the original proxy.

6.15 Voting;  Action by Members. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of
a majority of the  Membership  Voting  Interests  represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the matter  (including Units represented in person, by proxy
or by mail ballot when authorized by the Board) shall  constitute the act of the
Members,  unless  the vote of a  greater  or lesser  proportion  or  numbers  is
otherwise required by this Agreement or the Act.

6.16  Continuation  of the Company.  The Company shall not be dissolved upon the
occurrence of any event that is deemed to terminate the continued  membership of
a Member,  but rather the Company shall continue  without  dissolution,  and its
affairs shall not be required to be wound up.

6.17 No Member  Right of  Redemption  or Return of Capital.  Except as otherwise
provided in this  Agreement  or the Act, no Member or  transferee  of any Member
shall  have any  right to demand or  receive  a return  of  his/her/its  Capital
Contribution or to require the redemption of his/her/its Units.

6.18 Waiver of Dissenters  Rights.  To the fullest extent  permitted by the Act,
each  Member  hereby  disclaims,  waives  and  agrees  not to  assert:  (i)  any
dissenters' or similar rights under the Act; (ii) any right to require partition
or appraisal of the Company or of any of its assets, or to cause the sale of any
Company Property;  or (iii) any right to maintain any action for partition or to
compel any sale with  respect to such  Member's  Units,  or with  respect to any
Company Property.

6.19 Loans. Any Member or Affiliate may, with the consent of the Board,  lend or
advance  money to the  Company,  in which  case the  amount  of any such loan or
advance shall not be treated as a contribution to the capital of the Company but
rather  shall be a debt due from the  Company,  repayable  out of the  Company's
cash,  and shall have such other  terms as  approved  by the Board.  None of the
Members or their  Affiliates  shall be  obligated to make any loan or advance to
the Company.

6.20 Actions Without a Meeting by Members Any action required or permitted to be
taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without notice
and without a vote, if a consent in writing,  setting forth the action so taken,
is signed by Members required to approve such action. Such consent will have the
same force and effect as a vote of such  Members.  The  signed  consent  will be
placed by the Secretary of the Company in the Company's corporate records.

                   ARTICLE VII. ACCOUNTING, BOOKS AND RECORDS


                                      -21-


7.1 Accounting,  Books and Records;  Audit Rights.  The books and records of the
Company  shall  be kept,  and the  financial  position  and the  results  of its
operations  recorded,  in  accordance  with GAAP.  The books and  records  shall
reflect all Company  transactions  and shall be appropriate and adequate for the
Company's  business.  The  Company  shall  maintain  at its  principal  place of
business:  (i) a current  list of the full name and last  known  address of each
Member and Assignee set forth in alphabetical  order,  together with the Capital
Contributions,  Capital Account and Units of each Member and Assignee;  (ii) the
full name and address of each Director; (iii) a copy of the Articles and any and
all amendments thereto,  together with executed copies of any powers of attorney
pursuant to which the Articles or any  amendments  thereto  have been  executed;
(iv) copies of the Company's federal, state and local income tax and information
returns and reports,  if any, for the six (6) most recent taxable  years;  (v) a
copy of this Agreement and any and all amendments hereto, together with executed
copies  of any  powers of  attorney  pursuant  to which  this  Agreement  or any
amendments  hereto  have  been  executed;  and  (vi)  copies  of  the  financial
statements of the Company, if any, for the six (6) most recent Fiscal Years. The
Company shall use the accrual  method of accounting  in the  preparation  of its
financial  reports  and for tax  purposes  and shall keep its books and  records
accordingly.

7.2 Delivery to Members and Inspection.  Any Member or such Member's  designated
representative  shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the
information  and documents  kept by the Company  pursuant to Section 7.1 of this
Agreement.  The rights  granted to a Member  pursuant  to this  Section  7.2 are
expressly  subject to  compliance  by such Member with the safety,  security and
confidentiality procedures and guidelines of the Company, as such procedures and
guidelines may be amended from time to time.  Upon the request of any Member for
purposes  reasonably  related to such Member's  interest as a Member,  the Board
shall  promptly  deliver  to  the  requesting  Member,  at  the  expense  of the
requesting  Member,  a copy of the information  required to be maintained  under
Section  7.1 of this  Agreement.  Each  Member  has the right,  upon  reasonable
request for purposes  reasonably  related to such Member's  interest as a Member
and for proper  purposes,  to: (i) inspect and copy during normal business hours
any of the Company records described in Section 7.1 of this Agreement;  and (ii)
obtain from the Board,  promptly after their becoming  available,  copies of the
Company's federal,  state and local income tax and information  returns for each
Fiscal Year.  Each Assignee  shall have the right to  information  regarding the
Company only to the extent required by the Act.

7.3 Reports. The Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall be responsible for
causing the preparation of financial reports of the Company and the coordination
of financial matters of the Company with the Company's accountants.  The Company
shall cause to be delivered to each Member financial reports,  prepared, in each
case  (other  than with  respect to Member's  Capital  Accounts,  which shall be
prepared in accordance with this Agreement) in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied.  Delivery of the financial  reports shall occur as soon as  practicable
following  the end of each Fiscal Year and the first  three  fiscal  quarters of
each such Fiscal Year,  and at such time as  distributions  are made to the Unit
Holders  pursuant to Article X of this  Agreement  following the occurrence of a
Dissolution Event. The Company's financial statements for each Fiscal Year shall
be audited and certified by the Company's accountants,  and in each case setting
forth  in  comparative  form  the  corresponding  figures  for  the  immediately
preceding  Fiscal  Year end (in the case of the  balance  sheet) and the two (2)
immediately  preceding  Fiscal  Years  (in the case of the  statements).  Public
access to the financial  statements  through either the Company's website or the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission's  website of the  Company's  filings shall
constitute delivery pursuant to this Section 7.3.

7.4 Tax  Matters.  The Board  shall,  without  any  further  consent of the Unit
Holders being required (except as specifically  required  herein),  make any and
all  elections for federal,  state,  local and foreign tax purposes as the Board
shall determine  appropriate and shall have the right and authority to represent
the  Company  and the Unit  Holders  before  taxing  authorities  or  courts  of
competent  jurisdiction in tax matters affecting the Company or the Unit Holders
in their capacities as Unit Holders, and to file any tax returns


                                      -22-



and execute any agreements or other documents  relating to or affecting such tax
matters, including agreements or other documents that bind the Unit Holders with
respect to such tax  matters or  otherwise  affect the rights of the Company and
the  Unit  Holders.  The  Board  shall  designate  a Person  to be  specifically
authorized to act as the "Tax Matters  Member" under the Code and in any similar
capacity under state or local law; provided,  however, that the Board shall have
the authority to designate,  remove and replace the Tax Matters Member who shall
act as the tax matters partner within the meaning of and pursuant to Regulations
Sections  301.6231(a)(7)-1  and -2 or any similar provision under state or local
law. The Tax Matters Member shall receive no compensation for its services.  All
third-party  costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member in performing
its duties as such  (including  legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be
borne by the Company.  Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Company
from engaging an accounting firm to assist the Tax Matters Member in discharging
its duties hereunder.  Necessary tax information shall be delivered to each Unit
Holder as soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year.

7.5 Withholding. Each Unit Holder hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from
or pay on behalf of or with  respect to such Unit  Holder any amount of federal,
state,  local or foreign taxes that the Directors  determine that the Company is
required  to  withhold  or pay  with  respect  to any  amount  distributable  or
allocable to such Unit Holder  pursuant to this  Agreement,  including,  without
limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to
Code Section 1441,  Code Section  1442,  Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446.
Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Unit Holder shall constitute a
loan by the Company to such Unit Holder, which loan shall be repaid by such Unit
Holder within  fifteen (15) days after notice from the Company that such payment
must be made unless (i) the Company  withholds  such payment from a distribution
that would otherwise be made to the Unit Holder or (ii) the Board determines, in
its sole and absolute discretion,  that such payment may be satisfied out of the
available funds of the Company that would, but for such payment,  be distributed
to the Unit Holder.  Each Unit Holder  hereby  unconditionally  and  irrevocable
grants to the Company a security  interest in such Unit Holder's Units to secure
such Unit  Holder's  obligation  to pay to the Company  any amounts  owed to the
Company  pursuant to this  Section 7.5. In the event that a Unit Holder fails to
pay any  amounts  owed to the Company  when due,  the Board may, in its sole and
absolute discretion,  elect to make the payment to the Company on behalf of such
defaulting  Unit  Holder,  and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such
amount to such  defaulting  Unit  Holder  and shall  succeed  to all  rights and
remedies  of the Company as against  such  defaulting  Unit  Holder  (including,
without limitation, the right to receive distributions).  Any amounts payable by
a Unit Holder hereunder shall bear interest at the prime rate as reported in The
Wall Street  Journal (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date
such amount is due (i.e.,  fifteen (15) days after  demand) until such amount is
paid in full.  Each Unit  Holder  shall take such  action as the  Company or the
Board shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created
hereunder.

                            ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENTS

8.1  Amendments.  Amendments to this  Agreement may be made upon an  affirmative
vote of two-thirds  (2/3) of the Board or upon an affirmative vote of two-thirds
(2/3) of the Units  represented  in person or proxy at a meeting called for such
purpose.  Upon the modification or amendment of this Agreement,  the Board shall
promptly  execute  such  amendments  or other  documents  as the  Company  deems
appropriate to reflect such amendments under Act or other applicable laws of the
State of  Nebraska.  In the event the Board  materially  modifies or amends this
Agreement  pursuant to this section,  the Board shall send notice to the Members
of the material  modification  or amendment  within a reasonable  period of time
after the effective date of such modification or amendment.

                              ARTICLE IX. TRANSFERS


                                      -23-


9.1 General Restrictions. The Directors shall not approve, and the Company shall
not recognize for any purpose,  any purported Transfer of Units unless and until
the Transfer Restrictions,  consisting of the provisions of this Article and the
Unit  Transfer  Policy,  have been  satisfied  or the  Board  has by  resolution
specifically  waived any  unsatisfied  provision,  condition or  restriction.  A
Transfer of Units approved by the Board that  satisfies,  in the sole discretion
of the Board, the provisions and conditions of the Transfer  Restrictions (or if
any unsatisfied condition is waived),  shall be referred to in this Agreement as
a "Permitted Transfer."

9.2 Not  Binding  Until  Entered in Company  Books.  A Transfer  of Units is not
binding on the Company  without the  approval of the Board and  direction by the
Board to enter the Transfer in the Unit Holder Register.

9.3 Pledge of Units Allowed.  Notwithstanding the Transfer Restrictions,  a Unit
Holder may  pledge,  grant a Lien on all or any portion of its Units as security
for the payment of debt,  provided that a subsequent  foreclosure or transfer to
the secured  party in lieu of  foreclosure  or otherwise  shall be  considered a
Transfer and thereby subject to the terms of this Agreement.

9.4  Prohibited  Transfers.  Any  purported  Transfer  of  Units  that  is not a
Permitted  Transfer shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever;
provided that, if the Company is required by law to recognize a Transfer that is
not a Permitted  Transfer  (or if the Board,  in its sole  discretion,  elect to
recognize a Transfer  that is not a Permitted  Transfer):  (i) the  transferee's
rights  shall  be  strictly  limited  to the  transferor's  Membership  Economic
Interests  associated  with such Units;  and (ii) the Company may offset against
such  Membership  Economic  Interests  (without  limiting  any  other  legal  or
equitable  rights of the  Company) any debts,  obligations  or  liabilities  for
damages that the transferor or transferee may have to the Company.

9.5  Indemnification.  If a Transfer  or  attempted  Transfer  of Units is not a
Permitted Transfer,  the Unit Holder and the prospective  transferee engaging or
attempting  to engage in the Transfer is liable to and shall  indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and the other Unit Holders  from all cost,  liability,  and
damage that the Company and any of the other Unit  Holders may incur  (including
incremental  tax  liabilities,  lawyers'  fees and  expenses) as a result of the
Transfer or  attempted  Transfer and efforts to prohibit the transfer or enforce
the indemnity.

9.6 Transferee Subject to Transfer Restrictions.  Units held by a transferee are
subject to the Transfer  Restrictions  subsequent to a transfer  permitted under
this Article.

9.7 Unit Transfer  Policy.  The Unit  Transfer  Policy shall be developed by the
Board and impose  conditions and  restrictions on Transfers to: (1) preserve the
tax status of the Company; (2) comply with state or federal securities laws; (3)
require appropriate information from the transferor and transferee regarding the
transfer;  (4) require  appropriate  representations  from the transferor and/or
transferee regarding the Transfer;  and (5) allow the Board to determine whether
or  not  the  transferee  is a  competitor  of  the  Company  or  the  Company's
Affiliates.  The Unit Transfer Policy also shall state the permitted  method and
conventions  that shall be used in allocating  each item of Profits,  and Losses
and all other items attributable between the transferor and the transferee.  The
Unit  Transfer  Policy is attached as Exhibit "C," and  incorporated  as part of
this  Agreement.  The Unit  Transfer  Policy may be amended by the Board without
Member approval.

9.8 No Dissolution or  Termination.  The Transfer of Units pursuant to the terms
of this Article IX shall not dissolve or terminate the Company.  No Member shall
have the right to have the Company  dissolved or to have such  Member's  Capital
Contribution returned except as provided in this Agreement.


                                      -24-


9.9 Rights of Unadmitted  Assignees.  A Person who acquires Units but who is not
admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 9.10 of this Agreement shall
be entitled only to the Membership Economic Interests with respect to such Units
in accordance with this  Agreement,  and shall not be entitled to the Membership
Voting Interests with respect to such Units. In addition, such Person shall have
no right to any  information  or accounting of the affairs of the Company except
as affirmatively required by the Act, shall not be entitled to inspect the books
or  records  of the  Company,  and shall  not have any of the other  rights of a
Member under the Act or this Agreement.

9.10  Admission of  Substitute  Members.  A transferee  of Units,  pursuant to a
Permitted Transfer,  shall be admitted as a substitute Member provided that such
transferee has complied with the following provisions:

                  (a) The transferee  shall,  by written  instrument in form and
         substance  reasonably  satisfactory to the Board,  agree to be bound by
         all of the terms and  provisions  of this  Agreement,  and  assume  the
         obligations  of the  transferor  Member  hereunder  with respect to the
         Transferred Units.

                  (b) The transferee  shall pay for or reimburse the Company for
         all  reasonable  legal,   filing  and  publication  costs  incurred  in
         connection with the admission of the transferee as a Member.

                  (c)  Except  in  the  case  of  a  Transfer  involuntarily  by
         operation  of law,  if  required  by the Board,  the  transferee  shall
         deliver to the Company  evidence of  his/her/its  authority to become a
         Member.

                  (d) The  transferee  and  transferor  shall each  execute  and
         deliver such other  instruments as the Board reasonably deems necessary
         or appropriate in connection with such Transfer.


                      ARTICLE X. DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

10.1  Dissolution.  The Company shall dissolve and shall commence winding up and
liquidating upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a "Dissolution
Event"):  (i) the affirmative  vote of the Members as required by Section 5.6(b)
to dissolve, wind up and liquidate the Company; or (ii) the entry of a decree of
judicial  dissolution  pursuant  to the Act.  The  Members  hereby  agree  that,
notwithstanding  any provision of the Act, the Company shall not dissolve  prior
to the occurrence of a Dissolution Event.

10.2 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution  Event,  the Company shall
continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner,
liquidating  its assets and  satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members;
and no Member shall take any action that is inconsistent  with, or not necessary
to or  appropriate  for,  winding  up of the  Company's  business  and  affairs.
Notwithstanding  any provision in this  Agreement to the  contrary,  the Members
acknowledge  and  agree  that all  covenants  and  obligations  set  forth  this
Agreement shall continue to be fully binding upon the Members until such time as
the Property has been distributed pursuant to this Section 10.2 and any articles
of  dissolution  or similar  document  have been filed  pursuant to the Act. The
Liquidator shall be responsible for overseeing the prompt and orderly winding up
and  dissolution of the Company.  The Liquidator  shall take full account of the
Company's  liabilities and Property and shall cause the Property or the proceeds
from  the  sale  thereof  (as  determined  pursuant  to  Section  10.8  of  this
Agreement), to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to
the maximum  extent  permitted by law, in the  following  order:  (i) first,  to
creditors  (including  Members and  Directors who are  creditors,  to the extent
otherwise  permitted by law) in


                                      -25-


satisfaction  of all of the Company's  Debts and other  liabilities  (whether by
payment or the making of reasonable  provision for payment thereof),  other than
liabilities for which  reasonable  provision for payment has been made; and (ii)
second,  except as provided in this  Agreement,  to Members in  satisfaction  of
liabilities for distributions  pursuant to the Act; (iii) third, the balance, if
any,  to the Unit  Holders  in  accordance  with the  positive  balance in their
Capital Accounts  calculated  after making the required  adjustment set forth in
clause  (ii)(C) of the  definition  of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.10 of this
Agreement,   after  giving  effect  to  all  contributions,   distributions  and
allocations for all periods.

10.3  Compliance  with Certain  Requirements  of  Regulations;  Deficit  Capital
Accounts.  In the event the  Company  is  "liquidated"  within  the  meaning  of
Regulations Section  1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g),  distributions shall be made pursuant
to this  Article X to the Unit  Holders who have  positive  Capital  Accounts in
compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).  If any Unit Holder
has a deficit  balance in such Member's  Capital Account (after giving effect to
all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Fiscal Years, including
the Fiscal Year during which such  liquidation  occurs),  such Unit Holder shall
have no obligation to make any  contribution  to the capital of the Company with
respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to
the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the discretion
of the Liquidator,  a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise
be made to the Unit Holders  pursuant to this Article X may be: (i)  distributed
to a trust  established  for the benefit of the Unit Holders for the purposes of
liquidating Company assets,  collecting amounts owed to the Company,  and paying
any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company, in which
case the assets of any such trust shall be  distributed to the Unit Holders from
time to  time,  in the  reasonable  discretion  of the  Liquidator,  in the same
proportions  as the  amount  distributed  to such  trust  by the  Company  would
otherwise have been  distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to Section 10.2 of
this  Agreement;  or (b)  withheld to provide a  reasonable  reserve for Company
liabilities  (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized  portion of
any  installment  obligations  owed to the Company,  provided that such withheld
amounts shall be distributed to the Unit Holders as soon as practicable.

10.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Article X, in the event the Company is liquidated  within the meaning of
Regulations Section  1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Dissolution Event has occurred,
the Property shall not be liquidated,  the Company's Debts and other liabilities
shall not be paid or  discharged,  and the Company's  affairs shall not be wound
up.

10.5 Rights of Unit  Holders.  Except as otherwise  provided in this  Agreement,
each Unit Holder shall look solely to the Property of the Company for the return
of such Unit Holder's  Capital  Contribution and shall have no right or power to
demand or receive  Property  other than cash from the Company.  If the assets of

Holders  shall have no recourse  against the Company or any other Unit Holder or
Directors.

to oversee the liquidation of the Company. Upon the consent of a majority of the
Membership  Voting  Interests,  the Liquidator may be the Board.  The Company is
authorized to pay a reasonable fee to the Liquidator for its services  performed
pursuant to this Article X and to reimburse the  Liquidator  for its  reasonable
costs and expenses  incurred in  performing  those  services.  The Company shall
indemnify,  save  harmless,  and pay  all  judgments  and  claims  against  such
Liquidator and any officers,  directors,  agents and employees of the Liquidator
relating to any  liability or damage  incurred by reason of any act performed or
omitted to be performed by the Liquidator, or any officers, directors, agents or
employees of the Liquidator in connection  with the  liquidation of the Company,
including reasonable  attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the defense of
any action based on any such act or omission,  which attorneys' fees may be paid
as incurred,  except to the extent such  liability or damage is caused by fraud,
intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of the laws which was material to
the cause of action.

10.9 Forms of Liquidating  Distributions.  For purposes of making  distributions
required by Section 10.2 of this Agreement, the Liquidator may determine whether
to distribute  all or any portion of the Property  in-kind or to sell all or any
portion of the Property and distribute the proceeds therefrom.

                                    Exhibit C

                              Unit Transfer Policy

                           Effective February 20, 2008

1. Introduction. This Unit Transfer Policy ("Policy") of NEDAK Ethanol, LLC (the
"Company")  is  adopted  on this  20th day of  February,  2008,  by the Board of
Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Company's Second Amended
and  Restated   Operating   Agreement   dated  July  18,  2007  (the  "Operating
Agreement").  All terms not  otherwise  defined  herein  shall have the  meaning
ascribed to them in the Operating Agreement.

2.  Procedures.  Unit Holders  wishing to Transfer one or more Units must do the
following:

     *  Send  a  written  request  to  the  Company  which  contains  all of the
following:

         (a)  The name,  address,  phone  number or other  convenient  method of
              communications, of the Member(s(1)) who wishes to Transfer.
         (b)  The name,  address,  phone  number or other  convenient  method of
              communications, of the proposed transferee(s(2)).
         (c)  A fully  completed and executed  Transfer and  Assignment of Units
              agreement  ("Assignment")  in the form  attached to this Policy as
              Attachment A.(3)
         (d)  At the discretion of the Company, it reserves the right to request
              a  non-refundable  check in the amount  determined by Company made
              out to "NEDAK  Ethanol,  LLC" to cover the costs  incurred  by the
              Company respecting the request,  which may include  administrative
              expenses and professional fees.(4)

         The foregoing should be sent to the Company at the following address:

                  NEDAK Ethanol, LLC
                  Attention: Transfers
                  87590 Hillcrest Road
                  P.O. Box 391
                  Atkinson, Nebraska 68713

     * The Company may request  additional  information  respecting the request,
     including an opinion of the transferor's counsel, as discussed below.
     * All Transfer  requests will be aggregated  and submitted for Board action
     once every three months.
     * The transferor Member will be notified whether the Board has approved the
     request following the Board meeting in which the request is considered.  In
     the event a Transfer  request is denied,  the  materials  submitted  by the
     Member will be returned , excepting the check.

--------------------------

(1) In the case of a jointly  owned  Unit,  all joint  owners  must  submit such
information.
(2) In the case of a Unit which is to be  Transferred as joint  ownership,  such
information is to be submitted for all such proposed transferees.
(3) The Board  reserves  the right to  require  the  parties  to  execute  other
appropriate   instruments  or  agreements   respecting  the  Transfer,   as  the
circumstances dictate, in the Board's determination.
(4) The Board reserves the right to require the  transferor  Member to reimburse
the Company for any  additional  reasonable  costs  incurred in connection  with
responding to and effecting a requested Transfer.

                                      -3-



     * If the request for Transfer is granted by the Board,  the  Transfer  will
     become  effective  as to the  transfer of  ownership  and as to  allocation
     matters as provided in this Policy.

3.  General  Limitations.  The Board has  discretion  to approve  any  requested
Transfer.  In addition to the information required elsewhere in this Policy, the
Board, in connection with its approval of a Transfer, may require the transferor
Member to provide an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Board that:
(i) the proposed Transfer, alone or when combined with other transactions, would
not result in:  (A) a  termination  of the  Company  within the  meaning of Code
Section 708 (or, if so, that no material adverse tax  consequences  would result
to the Company or the Members by reason of such termination),  (B) the Company's
losing its status as a partnership for income tax purposes,  or (C) the taxation
of the Company as a  publicly-traded  partnership  for income tax purposes;  and
(ii) the Unit(s) may be Transferred  without  registration  under any applicable
Securities Act.

4.  Publicly  Traded  Partnership  Limitations.  Generally  speaking,  the  Code
provides that an  organization  which is a publicly traded  partnership  ("PTP")
will be treated as a corporation for tax purposes. Therefore, the Board will not
permit a Transfer  if the  Transfer  would  cause the Company to be treated as a
PTP. The Code and the  Regulations  provide that if a specified  number of Units
are  Transferred  in any Fiscal Year,  the Company will be treated as a PTP (the
"PTP  Limitations").  The Code and the  Regulations,  however,  do provide  that
certain  types of Transfers  which are not counted  toward the PTP  Limitations.
Those exemptions are generally the following (collectively, the "Exemptions"):

     * A Transfer in which the basis of the Units in the hands of the transferee
     is determined,  in whole or in part, by reference to its basis in the hands
     of the transferor or is determined  under Code Section 732.
     * A Transfer at death,  including  transfers from an estate or testamentary
     trust.
     * A Transfer  between  members of a family,  with family defined to include
     brothers and sisters, whether by the whole or half blood, spouse, ancestors
     (parents and grandparents only), and lineal descendants.  Note that uncles,
     aunts and relatives through marriage are not included in this definition of
     "family."  Therefore,  a proposed  Transfer where the transferees are joint
     tenants will not fit within this  Exemption,  unless both joint tenants are
     related by family as defined in the Regulation.
     * A  Transfer  involving  the  issuance  of Units by (or on behalf  of) the
     Company in exchange for cash, property, or services.
     * A Transfer involving distributions from a retirement plan qualified under
     Code Section 401(a) or an individual retirement account.
     * One or more  Transfers  by a Member and any related  persons  (within the
     meaning of Code Sections  267(b) or 707(b)(1))  during any thirty  calendar
     day  period of Units  aggregating  more  than 2 % of the total  outstanding
     Units.
     * A Transfer pursuant to a redemption or repurchase  agreement  exercisable
     only on (i) the Member's death, disability or mental incompetence,  or (ii)
     the  retirement  or  termination  of  the  performance  of  services  by an
     individual  who had actively  participated  in the Company's  management or
     performed services on a full-time basis for the Company.
     * A Transfer  pursuant to a closed end redemption plan (a plan in which (i)
     the Company only issues Units with the initial offering, and (ii) no Member
     or person related to any Member provides  contemporaneous  opportunities to
     acquire  interests  in  similar  or related  partnerships  which  represent
     substantially identical investments).
     * A Transfer by one or more Members of Units  representing  in aggregate 50
     percent  or more of the  total  Units in one  transaction  or a  series  of
     related transactions.

Generally speaking, the Board will not permit a Transfer if it does not meet one
of the Exemptions. Since the PTP Limitations apply on a Fiscal Year basis, there
may be instances  where the Board may permit a Transfer even if it does not meet
one of the Exemptions,  to the extent the Company otherwise falls within


                                      -4-


the PTP  Limitations  for that Fiscal Year. The Board reserves the right to make
its own  determination as to whether (i) a proposed Transfer meets an Exemption,
(ii) the Company will stay within the PTP  Limitations  for a Fiscal  Year,  and
(iii) it should not permit a Transfer in any event.

     5. Conventions Respecting Unit Transfers.

     * Ownership: For purposes of effecting the transfer of ownership in a Unit,
     any Transfer of a Unit shall be deemed  effective (the "Transfer  Date") as
     of the date:  (i) which the  Transfer  occurs (as  reflected by the form of
     Assignment),  (ii) the  transferee's  name and  address  and the nature and
     extent  of the  Transfer  are  reflected  in the  records  of the  Company,
     including  the Unit  Holder  Register,  and (iii)  all  other  requirements
     imposed by the Board respecting such Transfer have been satisfied.

     *  Allocations:  For purposes of the allocation of items of Company profit,
     gain,  loss,  deductions and  distributions  (collectively,  along with all
     Company-related    allocations   under   the   Operating   Agreement,   the
     "Allocations"),  the  effective  date of a Transfer  will be  determined by
     reference to quarterly (on the basis of the Company's  Fiscal Year) interim
     periods  ("Interim  Periods").  On  the  first  day  of an  Interim  Period
     immediately  succeeding  the Interim Period in which a Transfer Date occurs
     (the  "Allocation  Date"),  the  Allocations  will  apply  to such  Unit(s)
     Transferred  as  follows:  (i)  on the  Allocation  Date,  all  Allocations
     respecting the  Transferred  Unit(s)  applicable on or after the Allocation
     Date will apply to the transferee,  and (ii) prior to the Allocation  Date,
     regardless of the Transfer Date, all Allocations respecting the transferred
     Unit(s) will be allocated or distributed, as applicable, to the transferor.


                                      -5-
