     determined by the Managers. Cash Flow, other than revenues or proceeds from
     a  Capital  Transaction  or  the  dissolution  of  the  Company,  shall  be
     distributed as soon as practicable following a Manager's determination that
     such cash is available for  distribution.  The Members  acknowledge that no
     assurances  can be given with  respect to when or whether such cash will be
     available for distributions to the Members.

4.2  Allocations of Profits and Losses

    4.2.1 General.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, Profit and
          Loss of the Company shall be allocated  among the Interest  Holders as
          follows:

     4.2.1.1 Profit and Loss of the Company  shall be  allocated to the Interest
          Holders in proportion to their respective Percentages.

     4.2.1.2 In accordance with the provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-2(i),
          each  item of an  Interest  Holder's  Nonrecourse  Deduction  shall be
          allocated  among the Interest  Holders in  proportion  to the economic
          risk of loss  that the  Interest  Holder  bears  with  respect  to the
          nonrecourse liability of the Company to which such item of an Interest
          Holder's Nonrecourse Deduction is attributable.

    4.2.2 Allocation  Adjustments  Required to Comply with Section 704(b) of the
          Code

     4.2.2.1 Limitation on Allocation of Loss.  Notwithstanding Section 4.2.1.1,
          there shall be no allocation of Loss to any Interest Holder that would
          create or increase a deficit balance in such Interest Holder's Capital
          Account  unless  such  allocation  would be  treated  as valued  under
          Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(1)(i). Any Loss that cannot be allocated
          to an Interest  Holder  pursuant to the  preceding  sentence  shall be
          reallocated  to the other  Interest  Holders  in  proportion  to their
          Percentages.

     4.2.2.2 Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding Section 4.2.1.1, if in any
          taxable year an Interest Holder receives (or is reasonably expected to
          receive)  a  distribution,  or an  allocation  or  adjustment  to such
          Interest  Holder's  Capital  Account,  in accordance  with  Regulation
          Section   1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),   (5)  and  (6),  that  creates  or
          increases (or is reasonably  expected to create or increase) a deficit
          balance in such  interest  Holder's  Capital  Account,  there shall be
          allocated to the Interest  Holder such items of Company income or gain
          as are necessary to satisfy the  requirements  of a "qualified  income
          offset"     within    the     meaning    of     Regulation     Section
          1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).

     4.2.2.3  Minimum  Gain  Chargeback.  Notwithstanding  Section  4.2.1,  this
          Section  4.2.2.3  hereby  incorporates  by reference the "minimum gain
          chargeback" provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and (i)(4). In
          general, upon a reduction of the Company's Minimum Gain, the preceding
          sentence  shall  require  that items of income  and gain be  allocated
          among the Interest Holders in a manner that reverses prior allocations
          of Nonrecourse  Deductions and Interest Holder Nonrecourse  Deductions
          as  well  as  reductions  in the  Interest  Holders'  Capital  Account
          balances resulting from distributions  that,  notwithstanding  Section
          4.6, are allocable to increases in the Company's Minimum Gain. Subject
          to the  provisions  of  Section  704 of the Code  and the  regulations
          thereunder,  if the Managers  determine at any time that  operation of
          such "minimum gain chargeback" provisions likely will not achieve such
          a reversal by the conclusion of the  liquidation  of the company,  the
          Managers shall adjust the allocation  provisions of this Section 4.2.2
          as necessary to accomplish this result.

     4.2.2.4  Allocations  Subsequent  to Certain  Allocation  Adjustments.  Any
          special  allocations  of items of Profit or Loss  pursuant to Sections
          4.2.2.1,  4.2.2.2 or 4.2.2.3  shall be taken into account in computing
          subsequent  allocations  pursuant to Section  4.2.1 so that,  for each
          Interest  Holder,  the net amount of any such special  allocations and
          all  allocations  pursuant  to  Section  4.2.1  shall,  to the  extent
          possible and taking into account prior allocations pursuant to Section
          4.2.7,  be equal to the net amount that would have been  allocated  to
          such Interest Holder pursuant to Section 4.2.1 without  application of
          Sections 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2 or 4.2.2.3.

     4.2.3 Book - Tax Accounting Disparities

          If the Company  Assets are  reflected  in the Capital  Accounts of the
          Interest Holders at a Gross Asset Value that differs from the adjusted
          tax  basis  of  such  property  (whether  because  such  property  was
          contributed  to the  Company  by an  Interest  Holder or  because of a
          revaluation of the Interest Holders' Capital Accounts under Regulation
          Section  1.704-1(b)),   allocations  of  depreciation,   amortization,
          income, gain or loss with respect to such property shall be made among
          the  Interest  Holders in a manner  which takes such  difference  into
          account  in  accordance   with  Code  Section  704(c)  and  Regulation
          Section1.704-3(d) using the remedial method.

     4.2.4 Allocation in Event of Transfer

          If an  Interest  is  Transferred,  in  compliance  with  Section  6.1,
          allocations of the Company's Profit and Loss may be made by any method
          that is selected by the Managers and that is permissible under Section
          706 of the Code.

     4.2.5 Adjustments to Capital Accounts for Distributions of Property

          If property  distributed in kind is reflected in the Capital  Accounts
          of the  Interest  Holders at a Gross Asset Value that differs from the
          fair market value of such  property on the date of  distribution,  the
          difference  shall  be  treated  as  Profit  or Loss on the sale of the
          property and shall be  allocated  to the Interest  Holder who received
          such distribution.

     4.2.6 Tax Credits and Similar Items.

          Any tax credits or similar  items not  allocable  pursuant to Sections
          4.2.1  through  4.2.5 shall be allocated  to the  Interest  Holders in
          proportion  to  their  respective  Percentages.   Notwithstanding  the
          preceding sentence, Company expenditures that give rise to tax credits
          attributable  to such  expenditures  shall be allocated in  accordance
          with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

     4.2.7 Reallocation of Losses Related to Excess Distributions

          If, as a result of an Interest Holder receiving a distribution of cash
          or property that it is required to return because the distribution was
          not authorized by this Agreement, Loss which otherwise would have been
          allocated  to the Interest  Holder was  allocated to one or more other
          Interest  Holders (and such allocation has not been reversed  pursuant
          to  Section  4.2.2.4),  then  subsequent  profit  and  Loss  shall  be
          allocated to the Interest Holder and to the other Interest  Holders so
          as, in  connection  with the return of such cash or  property  (to the
          extent of the value thereof), to effect a reallocation of such Loss to
          the Interest Holder.

4.3  Modifications to Preserve Underlying Economic Objectives

     If in the  opinion  of  counsel  to the  Company,  there is a change in the
     Federal  income  tax law  (including  the Code as well as the  regulations,
     rulings, and administrative  practices thereunder) which makes it necessary
     or prudent to modify the  allocation  provisions of this Section 4 in order
     to preserve the underlying  economic objectives of the Members as reflected
     in this  Agreement,  the  Managers  shall  make  the  minimum  modification
     necessary to achieve such purpose.

4.4  Withholding Taxes

     The Company shall  withhold  taxes from  distributions  to and  allocations
     among,  the  Interest  Holders to the  extent  required  by law.  Except as
     otherwise  provided in this Section 4.4, any amount withheld by the Company
     with regard to an  Interest  Holder  shall be treated for  purposes of this
     Agreement as an amount  actually  distributed to such Interest  Holder.  An
     amount  shall be  considered  withheld  by the  Company  if  remitted  to a
     governmental agency without regard to whether such remittance occurs at the
     same time as the  distribution or allocation to which it relates  provided,
     however that an amount  actually  withheld from a specific  distribution or
     designated by the Managers as withheld from a specific  allocation shall be
     treated  as if  distributed  at the time such  distribution  or  allocation
     occurs. To the extent operation of the foregoing provisions of this Section
     4.4 would  create or  increase a deficit  balance in an  Interest  Holder's
     Capital  Account  (excluding  for this  purpose any portion of such deficit
     attributable to the Interest  Holder's share of the Company's  Minimum Gain
     as determined  under Section 1), the amount  withheld shall be treated as a
     loan by the Company to such  Interest  Holder,  which loan shall be payable
     upon demand and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lowest rate that
     will  not  give  rise  to  the  imputation  of  additional  interest  under
     applicable  federal income tax rules. At the election of the Managers,  the
     Company  shall be  entitled to withhold  from any  distributions  otherwise
     payable to an Interest  Holder amounts owed to the Company by such Interest
     Holder under the terms of the preceding sentence.

4.5  Nonallocation of Distributions to Increases in Minimum Gain

     To the extent permitted under Regulation Section 1.704-2(h),  distributions
     to Interest  Holders  shall not be allocable to increases in the  Company's
     Minimum Gain. In general,  and except as provided in such  Regulation,  the
     preceding  sentence is intended  to ensure that  reductions  in an Interest
     Holder's Capital Account balance  resulting from  distributions of money or
     other property to that Interest Holder are not reversed by the minimum gain
     chargeback provisions of Section 4.2.2.3.

4.6  Allocation of Liabilities

     Solely for purposes of determining the Interest Holders'  respective shares
     of the  nonrecourse  liabilities  of the  Company  within  the  meaning  of
     Regulation  Section  1.752-3(a)(3),  each  Interest  Holder's  interest  in
     Company Profit shall be equal to such Interest Holder's Percentage.

4.7  Liquidation and Dissolution

     4.7.1Distributions. If the Company is liquidated, the assets of the Company
          shall be  distributed to the Interest  Holders in accordance  with the
          positive balances in their respective  Capital Accounts,  after taking
          into account all  distributions  and allocations of Profit or Loss and
          other  items of income,  gain,  loss or  deduction  for the  Company's
          taxable year during which  liquidation  occurs.  Distributions  of the
          Interest  Holders  pursuant  to this  Section  4.7.1  shall be made in
          accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).

    4.7.2 Negative  Capital  Accounts.  No Interest Holder shall be obligated to
          restore a negative Capital Account balance.

4.8  General

    4.8.1 Except as  otherwise  provided  in this  Agreement,  the amount of all
          distributions  shall be determined  by the Managers and  distributions
          shall  be  made  as  soon  as   practicable   following   a  Manager's
          determination. The Members acknowledge that no assurances can be given
          with respect to when or whether such  distributions  will be available
          to the Members.

    4.8.2 The  Company  Assets  may be  distributed  in  kind  to  the  Interest
          Holders,  and those  assets shall be valued on the basis of their fair
          market value.  The fair market value of the assets shall be determined
          by the Members.  In the case of  disagreement  among the  Members,  an
          independent  appraiser,  who shall be  selected  by a  Manager,  shall
          determine  the fair market value of the asset.  The Profit or Loss for
          each unsold asset shall be determined as if the asset had been sold at
          its fair market  value,  and the Profit or Loss shall be  allocated to
          the Interest  Holders who  received  such  distributions  and shall be
          properly  credited or charged to the Capital  Accounts of the Interest
          Holders  prior  to the  distribution  of  the  assets  in  liquidation
          pursuant to Section 4.7.

    4.8.3 All Profit and Loss shall be allocated,  and all  distributions  shall
          be made to the  Persons  shown on the  records of the  Company to have
          been Interest Holders as of the last day of the taxable year for which
          the  allocation or  distribution  is to be made.  Notwithstanding  the
          foregoing,  unless  the  Company's  taxable  year  is  separated  into
          segments,  if there is a Transfer or an Involuntary  Withdrawal during
          the taxable year,  the Profit and Loss shall be allocated  between the
          original  Interest Holder and the successor on the basis of the number
          of days each was an Interest Holder during the taxable year; provided,
          however,  the Company's  taxable year shall be segregated  into two or
          more  segments  in order  to  account  for  Profit,  Loss or  proceeds
          attributable  to a Capital  Transaction or to any other  extraordinary
          non-recurring items of the Company.

    4.8.4 The Managers are hereby  authorized,  upon the advice of the Company's
          tax  counsel,  to amend this Article 4 to comply with the Code and the
          Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b); provided,  however,
          that no amendment shall materially affect distributions to an Interest
          Holder  without  the  Interest  Holder's  prior  written  consent.  5.

5.1  Management

     5.1.1 Manager(s) and Appointment

     individuals  shall serve as Managers until such  individuals  resign or are
     removed by the Member(s);  provided,  however,  that a Manager shall not be

               its  obligations  and  responsibilities   under  this  Agreement,

               Managers  shall not undertake  any of the  following  without the
               approval of the Members:

               (ii) to lend,  assume or  guaranty  debt in excess of $100,000 in

     5.1.4 Limitation on Authority of Members

          (a)  No Member is an agent of the Company  solely by virtue of being a
               Member, and no Member has authority to act for the Company solely
               by virtue of being a Member.  Only the Managers are authorized to
               act for the Company,  and no Member has any  authority to act for
               the Company unless such Member is also a Manager.

          (b)  This Section 5.1.4 supersedes any authority granted to the Member
               pursuant to Section  18-402 of the Act.  Any Member who takes any
               action or binds the Company in violation  of this  Section  5.1.4
               shall be solely  responsible for any loss or expense  incurred by
               the  Company  as a result of the  unauthorized  action  and shall
               indemnify and hold the Company  harmless with respect to the loss
               or expense.

     5.1.5 Removal of Manager

     The  Members,  at any time and from  time to time and for any  reason,  may
     remove any Manager then acting and elect a new Manager. No action to remove
     a Manager may be taken without the approval of  seventy-five  percent (75%)
     of the Members.

5.2  Meetings of and Voting by Members

    5.2.1 A meeting of the Members may be called at any time by the  Managers or
          by those Members holding at least a majority of the  Percentages  then
          held by Members. It shall not be necessary for the Managers to call or
          to hold regular meetings of the Members. Meetings of the Members shall
          be held at the Company's  principal  place of business or at any other
          place  designated  by the Person  calling the  meeting.  Not less than
          seven (7) nor more than sixty (60) days before each meeting, a Manager
          shall give  written  notice of the meeting to each Member  entitled to
          vote at the  meeting.  The notice  shall  state the time,  place,  and
          purpose of the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each
          Member who is entitled to notice may waive  notice,  either  before or
          after the  meeting,  by  executing  a waiver of such notice or if such
          Member is present at the  meeting in person or by proxy.  At a meeting
          of  Members,  the  presence  in person or by proxy of Members  holding
          Percentages,  which aggregate not less than sixty-seven percent (67%),
          constitutes a quorum. A Member may vote either in person or by written
          proxy signed by the Member or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.

    5.2.2 Except  as  otherwise  provided  in  this  Agreement,   wherever  this
          Agreement  requires the approval of the Members,  the affirmative vote
          of those Members  holding a majority or more of the  Percentages  then
          held by Member(s) shall be required to approve the matter.

    5.2.3 In lieu of holding a meeting,  the Members may vote or otherwise  take
          action by a written  instrument  indicating the consent of the Members
          holding a majority of the  Percentages  then held.  Any such  approved
          action shall be effective  immediately.  The Company shall give prompt
          notice to all  Members of any action  approved by Members by less than
          unanimous consent.

    5.2.4 The  provisions of this  Agreement are intended to replace  completely
          the  provisions  of the Act with  respect to all matters  concerning a
          Member's voting rights, procedures for meetings of Members, actions by

          the Managers or any Member,  or to any Affiliate of any Manager or any
          Member, to conduct any other business or activity whatsoever,  and the
          Managers or any Member shall not be  accountable  to the Company or to
          any Member  with  respect to that  business  or  activity  even if the
          business  or  activity  competes  with  the  Company's  business.  The
          organization  of the  Company  shall  be  without  prejudice  to their
          respective  rights (or the rights of their  respective  Affiliates) to
          maintain, expand, or diversify such other interests and activities and
          to receive and enjoy profits or  compensation  therefrom.  Each Member

          any other Member or any Manager's or Member's Affiliates.

    5.3.4 Each  Member  understands  and  acknowledges  that the  conduct of the
          Company's business may involve business dealings and undertakings with
          a Member and its Affiliates. In any of those cases, those dealings and

          terms as determined by the Managers.

    5.4.2 The Company shall  indemnify the Managers for any act performed by the
          Managers  within the scope of the authority  conferred on the Managers
          by this Agreement,  unless such act is a breach of this Agreement,  or
          constitutes gross negligence,  wilful or intentional misconduct,  or a
          knowing violation of law.

          (a)  all  documents  (including   amendments  to  the  Certificate  of
               Formation)  which  the  Attorney-in-Fact   deems  appropriate  to
               reflect any amendment, change, or modification of this Agreement;

     The  foregoing  power of attorney  is  irrevocable  and is coupled  with an
     interest, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall survive the
     death or disability  of a Member.  It also shall survive the Transfer of an
     Interest,  except that if the  transferee  is approved  for  admission as a
     Member, this power of attorney shall survive the delivery of the assignment
     for  the  sole  purpose  of  enabling  the   Attorney-in-Fact  to  execute,
     acknowledge and file any documents  needed to effectuate the  substitution.
     Each   Member   shall  be  bound  by  any   representations   made  by  the
     Attorney-in-Fact  acting in good faith  pursuant to this power of attorney,
     and each Member hereby  waives any and all defenses  which may be available
     to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Attorney-in-Fact taken in
     good faith  under this power of  attorney.  6.  Transfer of  Interests  and
     Withdrawals of Members

6.1  Transfers

     6.1.1The  Members  and  Interest  Holders  shall  not  trade or deal in any
          Membership  Interest  and  Interest  on  any  securities  exchange  or
          securities market.

     6.1.2No Person  may  Transfer  all or any  portion  of or any  interest  or
          rights in the  Membership  Interest or Interest  unless the  following
          conditions "Conditions of Transfer") are satisfied:

          (a)  The  Transfer  will not  require  registration  of  Interests  or
               Membership Interests under any federal or state securities laws;

          (b)  The  transferee  delivers  to the  Company a  written  instrument
               agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

          (c)  The Transfer  will not result in the  termination  of the Company
               pursuant to Code Section 708;

          (d)  The Transfer  will not result in the Company being subject to the
               Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

          (e)  The   transferor  or  the   transferee   delivers  the  following
               information  to  the  Company:  (i)  the  transferee's   taxpayer
               identification number and (ii) the transferee's initial tax basis
               in the Transferred Interest; and

          (f)  The  Transfer  will not result in the  Company  being  taxed as a
               corporation for purposes of federal or state income tax purposes.

    6.1.3 If the Conditions of Transfer are satisfied, then a Member or Interest
          Holder may Transfer all or any portion of that Person's Interest.  The
          Transfer of an Interest pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall not result,
          however,  in the Transfer of any of the transferor's  other Membership
          Interest,  if any, and the  transferee  of the Interest  shall have no
          right to:  (i) become a Member  without  the  consent  of the  Members
          required by this Agreement;  or (ii) exercise any Membership  Interest
          other  than  those  specifically  pertaining  to the  ownership  of an
          Interest.

    6.1.4 The Members hereby  acknowledge the  reasonableness of the prohibition
          contained in this Section 6.1 in view of the structure and purposes of
          the  Company.  The Transfer of any  Membership  Rights or Interests in
          violation  of the  prohibition  contained in this Section 6.1 shall be
          deemed  invalid,  null and void,  and of no force or effect except any
          Transfer  mandated by operation of law that cannot be waived or varied
          by private  agreement  and then only to the extent  necessary  to give
          effect to such  Transfer  by  operation  of law.  Any Person to whom a
          Membership  Interest or Interest is  attempted  to be  transferred  in
          violation  of this  Section  shall not be  entitled to vote on matters
          coming  before  the  Members,  participate  in the  management  of the
          Company, act as an agent of the Company or have any other rights in or
          with respect to the Membership Interest.

     6.1.5 Right of First Offer

          (a)  If an Interest Holder (a "Transferor") desires to Transfer all or
               any  portion of, or any  interest or rights in, the  Transferor's
               Interest (the "Transferor Interest"), the Transferor shall notify
               the Company of that desire (the "Transfer Notice").  The Transfer
               Notice shall describe the Transferor Interest.  Each Member shall
               have the option (the  "Purchase  Option") to purchase  all of the
               Transferor  Interest for a price (the "Purchase  Price") equal to
               the amount the  Transferor  would  receive  if the  Company  were
               liquidated  and an  amount  equal  to  the  Appraised  Value  (as
               determined   pursuant  to  Section   6.4)  were   available   for
               distribution to the Members pursuant to Section 4.4.

          (b)  The Purchase Option shall be and remain  irrevocable for a period
               (the  "Transfer  Period")  ending at 11:59 P.M. local time at the
               Company's  principal office on the thirtieth (30th) day following
               the Transfer Notice is given to the Company.

          (c)  At any time during the Transfer Period,  each Member may elect to
               exercise  the  Purchase  Option by giving  written  notice of its
               election to the Transferor.  The Transferor shall not be deemed a
               Member for the  purpose of voting on whether  the  Company  shall
               elect to exercise the Purchase Option.

          (d)  If any  Member  elects  to  exercise  the  Purchase  Option,  the
               Member's  notice of its  election  shall fix a closing  date (the
               "Transfer  Closing  Date") for the  purchase,  which shall not be
               earlier  than  five (5) days  after  the  date of the  notice  of
               election or more than thirty  (30) days after the  expiration  of
               the Transfer Period.

          (e)  If a Member elects to exercise the Purchase Option,  the Purchase
               Price shall be paid in cash on the Transfer Closing Date.

          (f)  If  all  Members  fail  to  exercise  the  Purchase  Option,  the
               Transferor  shall be  permitted to offer and sell for a period of
               ninety  (90)  days  (the  "Free   Transfer   Period")  after  the
               expiration  of the  Transfer  Period at a price not less than the
               Purchase   Price.   If  the  Transferor  does  not  Transfer  the
               Transferor   Interest  within  the  Free  Transfer  Period,   the
               Transferor's  right to Transfer the Transferor  Interest pursuant
               to this Section shall cease and terminate.

          (g)  Any Transfer of the  Transferor  Interest made after the last day
               of the Free Transfer Period or without strict compliance with the
               terms, provisions and conditions of this Section and other terms,
               provisions,  and  conditions  of this  Agreement,  shall be null,
               void, and of no force or effect.

6.2  Voluntary Withdrawal Prohibited

     No Members  shall have the right or power to effect a voluntary  withdrawal
     from the Company.  Any Member who effectuates a voluntary  withdrawal is in
     violation of this  Agreement  and shall not be entitled to receive the fair
     value of the Member's  Interest as of the date of the voluntary  withdrawal
     as otherwise provided by Section 18-604 of the Act.

6.3  Involuntary Withdrawal

     Immediately upon the occurrence of an Involuntary Withdrawal,  the affected
     Member  shall  cease  to  have  a  Membership  Interest  and  the  Member's
     Membership Interest shall be automatically converted into just an Interest,
     except that any  successor-in-interest  to the Interest of a Member who has
     Involuntarily  Withdrawn shall be entitled to exercise such of the Member's
     rights as a Member as is  required by the  operation  of law that cannot be
     waived or varied by private agreement.

6.4  Appraised Value

    6.4.1 The term "Appraised  Value" means the appraised value of the equity of
          the Company's Assets as hereinafter provided. Within fifteen (15) days
          after  demand  by  either  one or  the  other,  the  Company  and  any
          Withdrawing Member, if applicable,  shall each appoint an appraiser to
          determine the value of the equity of the Company's  Assets. If the two
          appraisers agree upon the equity value of the Company's  Assets,  they
          shall jointly render a single  written  report stating that value.  If
          the two appraisers cannot agree upon the equity value of the Company's
          Assets,  they shall each  render a separate  written  report and shall
          appoint a third appraiser, who shall appraise the Company's Assets and
          determine the value of the equity therein,  and shall render a written
          report of his opinion thereon. Each party shall pay the fees and costs
          of the appraiser appointed by that party, and the fees and other costs
          of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by both parties.

    6.4.2 The equity value  contained in the aforesaid  joint written  report or
          written  report of the third  appraiser,  as the case may be, shall be
          the  Appraised  Value;  provided,  however,  that it the  value of the
          equity  contained in the  appraisal  report of the third  appraiser is
          more than the  higher of the first two  appraisals,  the higher of the
          first two appraisals shall govern; and provided,  further, that if the
          value of the equity  contained  in the  appraisal  report of the third
          appraiser  is less than the lower of the  first  two  appraisals,  the
          lower of the  first  two  appraisals  shall  govern.  7.  Dissolution,

     Company shall be distributed,  first, to creditors of the Company including

     the  Company,  and then to the  Interest  Holders in  accordance  with this
