than  one  member,  it is the  intention  of the  Member  that  the  Company  be
disregarded  for  federal  and all  relevant  state  tax  purposes  and that the
activities  of the  Company  be deemed to be  activities  of the Member for such
purposes. In the event that that the Company shall have more than one member, it
is the intention of the members that the Company be taxed as a  partnership  for
federal and all relevant  state tax  purposes.  All  provisions of the Company's
Certificate  of  Formation  and  this  Agreement  are to be  construed  so as to
preserve that tax status. The Company shall timely make all necessary  elections
and  filings for  federal,  state,  and local tax  purposes  to  accomplish  the
foregoing objective.

     Section  9.2 Form  K-1.  After  the end of each  Fiscal  Year for which the
Company  shall  have more  than one  member,  the  member(s)  shall  cause to be
prepared and  transmitted,  as promptly as possible,  and in any event within 90
days of the close of such  Fiscal  Year,  a federal  income tax Form K-1 and any
required similar state income tax form for each member.

     Section 9.3 Company Tax Returns. The Member, or if additional member(s) are
admitted,  the  member(s)  shall cause to be prepared  and timely  filed all tax
returns  required to be filed for the Company.  The Member or the  member(s) (as
the case may be) may, in their sole discretion,  make or refrain from making any
federal,  state or local income or other tax  elections  for the Company that it
deems  necessary or  advisable;  provided that if there is more than one member,
the prior written  consent of all the  member(s)  shall be required in order for
the Company to make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code.

                                    ARTICLE X

employee,  representative,  manager  or  agent  of  the  Company  or  any of its
affiliates  (individually,  a "Covered  Person" and  collectively,  the "Covered
Persons")  shall be liable to the  Company  or any other  person  for any act or
omission (in relation to the Company,  this Agreement,  any related  document or
any transaction or investment  contemplated  hereby or thereby) taken or omitted
in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable  belief that such act or
omission is in or is not  contrary to the best  interests  of the Company and is
within the scope of authority  granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement,
provided  that  such  act  or  omission  does  not  constitute  fraud,   willful
misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence.

     Section 10.2  Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company shall  indemnify and hold harmless each Covered  Person from and against
any and all losses, claims, demands,  liabilities,  expenses,  judgments, fines,

suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
the Covered Person may be involved,  or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise,  by reason of its  management  of the affairs of the Company or which
relates to or arises out of the Company or its property,  business or affairs. A
Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification  under this Section 10.2
with  respect  to any claim,  issue or matter in which it has  engaged in fraud,

                                  Miscellaneous

     Section 11.1 Amendment to this Agreement.  Except as otherwise  provided in
this  Agreement,  this  Agreement  may be  amended  by,  and only by, a  written
instrument  executed by the Member or, if  additional  member(s)  are  admitted,
unanimous consent of the member(s).

     Section  11.2  Successors;  Counterparts.  Subject  to Article  VIII,  this
Agreement  (a) shall be binding as to the  executors,  administrators,  estates,
heirs,  assigns and legal  successors,  or nominees or  representatives,  of the
Member or, if additional  member(s)  are admitted,  the member(s) and (b) may be
executed  in  several  counterparts  with  the  same  effect  as if the  parties
executing the several counterparts had all executed one counterpart.

     Section 11.3 Governing Law; Severability.

     (a)  This Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with
          the  laws of the  State  of  Delaware  without  giving  effect  to the
          principles of conflict of laws thereof. In particular,  this Agreement
          shall be construed to the maximum  extent  possible to comply with all
          the terms and  conditions  of the Act. If,  nevertheless,  it shall be
          determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provisions or
          wording of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable  under the
          Act or other applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
          not  invalidate  the  entire  Agreement  and this  Agreement  shall be
          construed  so as to  limit  any  term  or  provision  so as to make it
          enforceable or valid within the  requirements  of applicable law, and,
          in the  event  such term or  provisions  cannot  be so  limited,  this
          Agreement  shall be construed  to omit such  invalid or  unenforceable
          terms or provisions. If it shall be determined by a court of competent
          jurisdiction  that any provisions  relating to the  distributions  and
          allocations  of the Company or to any expenses  payable by the Company
          are invalid or  unenforceable,  this  Agreement  shall be construed or
          interpreted so as (i) to make it enforceable or valid and (ii) to make
          the distributions  and allocations as closely  equivalent to those set
          forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable law.

     (b)  Each  party  hereto  (i)  irrevocably  submits  to  the  non-exclusive
          jurisdiction  of any Delaware  State court or Federal court sitting in
          Wilmington,  Delaware in any action  arising out of this Agreement and
          (ii) consents to the service of process by mail.  Nothing herein shall
          affect  the right of any party to serve  legal  process  in any manner
          permitted by law or affect his or its right to bring any action in any
          other court.

     Section  11.4  Filings.   Cecilia  Temple,   is  hereby  designated  as  an
"authorized  person" within the meaning of the Act, and has executed,  delivered
and filed the  Certificate  of Formation  of the Company  with the  Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware.  Upon the filing of the Certificate of Formation
with  the  Secretary  of  State  of the  State of  Delaware,  her  powers  as an

"authorized  person" and shall  continue as the designated  "authorized  person"
within the  meaning of the Act.  The Member  shall,  as an  "Authorized  Person"
within the  meaning of the Act,  prepare or cause to be prepared  any  documents
required to be filed and recorded  under the Act, and the Member shall  promptly
cause each such document  required to be filed and recorded in  accordance  with
the Act and, to the extent  required  by local law, to be filed and  recorded or
notice thereof to be published in the appropriate  place in each jurisdiction in
which the Company may hereafter establish a place of business.  The Member shall
also  promptly  cause to be filed,  recorded and  published  such  statements of
fictitious  business  name and any other  notices,  certificates,  statements or
other instruments  required by any provision of any applicable law of the United
States or any state or other  jurisdiction  which  governs  the  conduct  of its
business from time to time.

Company may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the Company by the Chief
Executive  Officer,  the President,  any Vice President,  the Secretary,  or any
Assistant  Secretary,  and any such officer may, in the name of and on behalf of
the Company, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote
in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders, members or partners of
any  business  entity  in  which  the  Company  may own  securities,  membership
interests,  or  partnership  interests and at any such meeting shall possess and
may  exercise  any and all rights and power  incident to the  ownership  of such
securities,  membership  interests or  partnership  interests and which,  as the
owner thereof,  the Company might have  exercised and possessed if present.  The
member(s)  may,  by  resolution,  from time to time  confer like powers upon any
